1.Advances on correlation between Girdin protein and breast cancer
Practical Oncology Journal 2016;30(1):57-60
Girdin protein is a kind of actin binding protein,which has the complex molecular structure and takes part in a variety of signaling pathways related with causing cancer.The biological characteristics of Gir-din protein have close association with the proliferation and invasion of malignant tumor.Recent studies have shown that Girdin protein is closely related with occurrence and progress of breast cancer.Girdin protein expres-sion in breast cancer cells can not only promote the progress of breast cancer,but also affect the lymph node me-tastasis and prognosis.Therefore Girdin protein is expected as an independent biomarker to provide a new direc-tion for breast cancer treatment.

China Pharmacist 2016;19(6):1105-1107
Objective:To explore the application value of continuous positive airway pressure ( CPAP) in the treatment of obstruc-tive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS ) complicated with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods:Totally 50 patients with OSAHS complicated with CHD from June 2012 to June 2014 in our hospital were randomly divided into the control group and CPAP group with 25 ones in each .The patients in the control group were treated with the conventional drug therapy for coronary heart disease , while those in CPAP group were treated with CPAP additionally .After 6-month treatment, PSG index, clinical symptoms, arrhythmia and ischemia electrocardiogram changes of the patients in the two groups were compared .Results:After the 6-month treatment , AHI and oxygen desaturation index in CPAP group were significantly decreased when compared with those before the treatment , and the min-imum value of SaO2 and the average value of SaO 2 were higher than those before the treatment (P<0.01), and the above indices were better than those in the control group (P<0.01).The incidence rate of chest pain and chest tightness , arrhythmia, times of myocardi-al ischemia in a day and time of myocardial ischemia in a day were decreased after the treatment (P<0.01), and the decrease in CPAP group was more notable than that in the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion: CPAP combined with the conventional drug therapy for coronary heart disease can improve the oxygen concentration and reduce the incidence of arrhythmia and myocardial ischemia in the patients with OSAHS with CHD , which can be widely used in clinics .
5.The regulation of Cathepsin B on cell apoptosis induced by SAHA in breast cancer cell line MCF-7
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(8):1086-1090
Aim To clarify the regulation role of ca-thepsin B ( Cat B ) in cell proliferation and apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER-positive breast cancer cell line MCF-7.Methods MTT was used to screen the optimal concentration and treatment time of SAHA . The expression levels of related proteins were deter-mined by ELISA , and the morphological changes were observed through time-lapse live cell imaging acquisi-tion.Cell viability and apoptosis assay in MCF-7 cells were assessed by Muse Cell Analyzer with SAHA and /or Cystatin C treatment .Results MTT assay showed that the anti-tumor efficacy of SAHA was significant . The optimal concentration and treatment time were 10μmol? L-1 and 24 h respectively . ELISA assay showed that SAHA could induce expression of Cat B in MCF-7 cells.Real-time live-cell imaging experiments demonstrated that the combination treatment of Cystatin C and SAHA significantly resumed the inhibitory effect caused by SAHA alone .Cytology test showed that SA-HA alone obviously depressed the cell viability and in-duced apoptosis . However , the effect was reversed with the combination of Cystatin C .Conclusion Cat B plays an important role in apoptosis induced by SAHA in ER +breast cancer cells MCF-7.

8.miR-486 is a tumor suppressor in glioma stem cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2015;(41):6633-6637
BACKGROUND:Previous studies have found that the expression level of miR-486 in glioma stem cels (CD133+) is significantly down-regulated compared with that in glioma non-stem cels (CD133-), but the effect of down-regulation of miR-486 on CD133+ cels remains unclear . OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of miR-486 on CD133+ cels. METHODS:CD133+ glioma stem cels and CD133- glioma cels were separated from U87 cels by flow cytometer. miR-486 overexpression glioma stem cels were constructed by lipofection transfection. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After sorting and purification, the content of the CD133+ fraction was enriched up to 83.5%. The expression level of miR-468 in CD133+ glioma stem cels was obviously down-regulated compared with that in CD133- glioma cels. CD133+ glioma stem cels overexpressing miR-486 were fabricated successfuly. Results from in vitro experiments showed that miR-486 overexpression could dramaticaly decrease the proliferation of glioma stem cels, induce a cel cycle arrest in G1/S phase for CD133+ glioma stem cels and promote cel apoptosis. These findings suggest that miR-486 can be a suppressor of glioma stem cels, which offers a novel potential therapeutic target for glioma stem cels and human glioma.

10.A three-pulmonary vein isolation approach to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Journal of Geriatric Cardiology 2004;1(1):29-34
Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of a 3-pulmonary vein (PV) isolation approach in treating paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Radiofrequency catheter ablation was used to eliminate PV potential in 11 patterns with frequent paroxysmal AF refractory to anti-arrhythmic agents. During sinus rhythm, PV potential was mapped in the left and right superior PVs and left inferior PV. The procedural success was defined as the elimination of PV potential in the 3 PVs. Restults PV potential was identified and abolished in a total of 24 PVs, mostly in the left and right superior PV. There was no pulmonary stenosis or other complications during or after the procedures. AF recurred in one patient after an average of 12 ± 3 month follow-up. Conclusions PV potemials were present mostly in the left or right superior PV. The 3-PVs isolation approach is safe and effective in preventing drug-resistant paroxysmal AF.
