In the study, to explore the anti-tumor effects and mechanisms of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and perphenazine (PPZ) combined with temozolomide (TMZ) on human glioma cell lines, we performed MTT assays to determine the growth inhibitory rate of CPZ, PPZ and TMZ in mono and combined treatments. The anti-tumor effects of CPZ and PPZ alone or in combination with TMZ were determined by colony formation, cell apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) detection (JC-1). The expression level of p53 was detected by immunofluorescence assay. Furthermore, autophagy under different administrations was detected by flow cytometry and confocal imaging to explore the anti-tumor mechanism of CPZ and TMZ. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) and proto-oncogene protein (c-Myc) were detected by immunofluorescence assay, tumor stem cell markers (CD44, CD133) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) were detected by flow cytometry to explore the anti-tumor mechanism of PPZ and TMZ. The results showed that after 72 h treatments of combinations, the values of half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀) of TMZ on U87 and U251 cells were reduced, and the ability of TMZ to induce apoptosis and cycle arrest was improved. In addition, the combination of CPZ and TMZ could induce an increased effect of autophagy via activating the relevant pathway of p53 gene in glioma cells. The combination of PPZ and TMZ increased the sensitivity of glioma cells to TMZ, and the underlying mechanism might be related to the inhibition of CIP2A/PP2A/c-Myc signaling pathway. In conclusion, CPZ and PPZ combined with TMZ, showed the significant synergistic effects in cancer treatment, which are the novel and potential therapeutic regimens providing a new treatment strategy for human glioma.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of Slug expression in papillary thyroid carci-noma(PTC). Methods Employed Ventana immunohistochemistry assay to determine the expression of Slug in 107 cases of PTC and para-tumorous normal tissue. The relationship with Slug expression in PTC and clinico-pathology data were also analyzed. Results Expression of Slug in PTC (65.4%, 70/107)and para-tumorous nor-mal tissue (14.0%,15/107)were statistically different (P < 0.001). Overexpression of Slug in PTC was signifi-cantly associated with capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis (P < 0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of Slug in PTC is associated with capsular invasion and lymph node metastasis , these may suggest some clinical significance of Slug expression in PTC in predicting lymph node metastasis and prognosis.

Objective To study the life quality of 2 - 3 years old survivors in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Methods Severe neonates were randomly assigned to intervention group (group 1,30 cases) and non- intervention group (group 2,30 cases) depending on the early intervention applied or not,as well as 30 healthy newborns as normal controls. The physical,neurological conditions and intelligence test were taken regularly. To investigate the psychological state, actions, temperament and family conditions when they were2-3 years old.Results Mental development index(MDI) and physical development index(PDI) in early interventional group were significant higher than those in group 2(P

Objective To investigate the changes of blood levels of gastrin(GAS),motilin(MTL) and insulinoid growth factor-1(IGF-1) in critical children with multiple organ disfunction syndrome(MODS).Methods The levels of GAS,MTL and IGF-1 in 50 critically ill children and 30 children without critical illness were detected.The control group consisted of 30 health children.All serum or plasma levels of GAS,MTL and IGF-1 were measured by radioimmunoassay.Results The serum or plasma levels of GAS,MTL and IGF-1 were significantly higher in critically ill children than those in uncritically ill children and control group(F=49.61,55.18,18.23 all (P

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the biomechanical properties of tibial plateau depressed fracture fixed with a net-fixation of Kirschner wires.

METHODSTwenty homemade fracture models were fixed with eight 1.5 mm Kirschner wires in a net-fixation; 20 homemade fracture models were fixed with two 3.5 mm cortical screws. Plane-compressed and dot-compressed test were made on each 10 models of the two groups. The maximal force of anti-ompress and stiffness were measured and evaluated.

RESULTSIn plane-compressed test,mean maximal force of anti-compress and stiffness for screw fixation was (1,925.31 +/- 444.26) N and (2.28 +/- 0.53) N/mm2, respectively, for net-fixation was (1,609.62 +/- 277.72) N and (1.90 +/- 0.33) N/mm2, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the two fixation methods (P > 0.05). In dot-compressed test,mean maximal force of anti-compress and stiffness for screw fixation was (411.13 +/- 233.88) N and (2.66 +/- 1.52) N/mm2,respectively,for net-fixation was (1,105.58 +/- 290.66) N and (7.18 +/- 1.89) N/mm2,respectively,the net-fixation was better than that of the screw fixation (P< 0.01).

CONCLUSIONTreatment of tibial plateau depressed fracture with a net-fixation of Kirschner wires is a biological fixation and is a reliably method.
