Objective To study the effect of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) on the expression of ?-catenin in the cultured colorectal cancer cell lines. Methods HCT116 and W480 cells were treated with CAPE at serial concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/L. ?-catenin protein expression was assayed by Western blot analysis. ?-catenin localization was detected by indirect immunofluorescence. Results CAPE treatment was associated with decreased total ?-catenin protein expression. The expression of ?-catenin at the cell nucleus and cytoplasm was downregulated, but at the cell-cell linked site the ?-catenin protein expression was upregulated. Conclusion CAPE can downregulate the expression of ?-catenin and inhibit the translocation of ?-catenin to nucleus, which may play an important role in the anticancer activity of CAPE.

This paper proposes a mathematical model based on probability graphs and an algorithm of iterative reasoning,which is an automatic interactive question-and-answer mathematical model based on the classic TCM syndrome differentiation system and the theory of prescription and syndrome correspondence.It is used for TCM online interactive consultation and automatic syndrome differentiation analysis to improve the effectiveness of remote TCM clinical consultation and help TCM artificial intelligence assist syndrome differentiation.This model can express the clinician's experience in syndrome differentiation,and reflect his ability to accumulate and apply knowledge of ancient Chinese books,which is conducive to the inheritance and development of TCM physicians'personal experience.The model is scalable and configurable,and can continuously accumulate experience in dialectics and knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.The use of iterative reasoning algorithm can realize the automatic analysis and reasoning of more optimized syndrome analysis results through brief interactive question and answer,providing more efficient and convenient practical assistance for clinical diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine,which is conducive to accelerating the inheritance and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine,and is conducive to the expansion of Chinese medicine.The mass basis and market supply of medical diagnosis and treatment services have far-reaching social benefits.
