Aim To investigate the effect of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, NS-398, on cell apoptosis in leukemia cell line K562 cells and its underlying mechanism. Methods Apoptotic cell percentage was examined by flow cytometry(FCM). The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 was detected by Western blot, and the activity of Caspase-3 was checked by FCM. Results NS-398 induced the cell apoptosis in K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner. After NS-398 treatment, the expression of Bcl-2 protein was downregulated, whereas the expression of Caspase-3 protein was upregulated. Moreover,the activity of Caspase-3 was increased in a dose-dependent way after NS-398 treatment. Conclusion Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor,NS-398,significantly induced apoptosis in K562 cells. The underlying mechanism might be related to the downregulation of Bcl-2 and the activation of Caspase-3.

Through summarization on published literatures on allergic rat model in recent 20 years, domestic current research status and trend were analyzed. Some insights were provided on how to build a standard process for modeling and post-modeling evaluation. “Allergic rhinitis,” “rat model of allergic rhinitis”, or “animal experiment” was used as search terms. Related published articles were searched in the CNKI database from August, 1993 to October, 2013. Documents and data, including modeling method, drug dose, modeling cycle, model assessment described in the articles were extracted, summarized and quantitative analyzed. The results showed that 208 valid articles were included in this study. SD rat was used as animal model. Ovalbumin plus aluminum hydroxide were used as adjuvant sensitizing agents. Intraperitoneal injection plus nasal stimulation were the most commonly used modeling method. Behavioral evaluation scale score was used as the main evaluation index. It was concluded that currently there were many methods for allergic rhinitis animal modeling domestically. The post-modeling evaluation was relatively single. It was urgent and necessary to establish the standard process for modeling and post-modeling evaluation for allergic rhinitis animal model.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of propofol sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy,we conducted a Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing propofol with traditional sedative agents.Methods Referring Cochrane Collaboration search strategy to develop retrieval in Medline,Web of Science,Wanfang and CNKI database to retrieve the anesthetic propofol and traditional agents in the literature for randomized controlled trials of gastrointestinal endoscopy,surgery and assess their recovery effect.Results Twenty-one original RCTs investigating a total of 1 765 patients,of whom 894 received propofol only and 871 received traditional sedative agents only,met the inclusion criteria.Research showed that compared with traditional anesthetics,no significant differences existed in anesthetic effects of propofol on gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery time.However,surgery can significantly shorten recovery time and the average discharge time; and higher recovery rates.The result of racial subgroup analysis showed:the anesthetic propofol can significantly shorten the time of gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery for Asian populations,but had little effect on the European population.Contrast method for subgroup analysis showed:anesthetic propofol could significantly shorten the ERCP angiography in gastrointestinal endoscopy surgery time,but has little effect on the UGE and colonscopy angiography.Conclusions Propofol is safe and effective for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures and is associated with shorter endoscopy recovery and discharge time,higher post-anesthesia recovery scores.Care should be taken when extrapolating our results to specific practice settings and high-risk patient subgroups.

Objective To evaluate the effect of music and mood relaxation training for the anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation. Methods With case-contrast method, 108 patients with breast tumor (52 patients with intervention, 56 with routine treatment) week assessed continuously. All cases were investigated on their common information, physiological indexes and psychological scales, including State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-Form Y), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ). Results There were significant statistical difference in systolic pressure and pulse rate between two groups on one day (t =3.114, P <0.01) and 30-60 minutes (t =3.03, P=0.01) before the operation. There was remarkable difference for anxiety between two groups and among different interventions periods by Repeated Measures ANOVA analysis (Periods: F=18.61, P <0.01; Groups: F =7.001, P <0.05). Results of Stepwise regression analysis: The influencing factors on anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation were trait anxiety, breast-feeding history, family history of breast tumor, age, economy and EPQ-N. Conclusion Relaxation music and mood relaxation training can reduce the level of anxiety and related physiological indexes on patients with breast tumor before operation. The influencing factors on anxiety in patients with breast tumor before operation are multi level factors, such as trait anxiety, breast-feeding history and so on.
