ObjectiveTo observe the effects of norepinephrine and dobutamine (NE+Dobu) on hemodynamics, tissue perfusion and oxygen metabolism in elderly patients with septic shock at different levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP). MethodsAfter aggressive fluid resuscitation,norepinephrine and dobutamine were administered in 18 elderly patients with septic shock to correct hypotension. The rate of dobutamine infusion was 5 ug. kg<'-1>. min<'-1> Norepinephrine was titrated to maintain MAP at levels of 65 mm Hg, 75 mm Hg and 85 mmHg. Four hours later, the changes of hemodynamics, oxygenation index, blood lactate, renal function and gastric pCO<,2> at every MAP level were observed. ResultsThere were no significant differences in heart rate (HR), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), volume of oxygen (VO<,2>), Blood lactate, pH value, △pCO<'2> and creatinine clearance rate (CCr) among the MAP levels of 65 mm Hg, 75 mm Hg and 85 mm Hg ( all P>0.05). Compared with MAP 65 mm Hg, cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), oxygen delivery over oxygen extraction ratio were obviously higher at MAP 75 mm Hg and 85 mm Hg [4.7±0.6, 5.1±0.7 vs. 4.0±0.6; 1162±278, 1276±319 vs. 1011±225; (697±53) ml. min<'1>. m<'2>,(711±68)ml. min<'-1>. m<'2> vs. (634±70) ml · min<'-1> · m<'2>; (0.28±0.02)%,(0.27±0.02)% vs. (0.25±0.02) %, respectively, all P<0.05). The urinary output at MAP levels of 65 mm Hg, 75 mm Hg and 85 mm Hg were (98±43)ml/h, (91±54) ml/h and(74±49)ml/h repectively, and only the differences between MAP 75 mm Hg and MAP 65 mm Hg had statistical significance (P<0.05).ConclusionsAfter aggressive fluid resuscitation, hemodynamics and renal function are improved at MAP 75 mm Hg after administration of norepinephrine and dobutamine in elderly patients with septic shock. It should be considered that MAP is appropriately increased in elderly patients with septic shock.

Objective: To investigate the effects of proteasome beta 5 subunit (PSMB5) on proliferation and bortezomib (BTZ) chemo-sensitivity of multiple myeloma (MM) and its related molecular mechanisms. Methods: We used two MM cell lines, RPMI 8226 and BTZ drug-resistant cell line RPMI 8226/BTZ100 (hereinafter referred to as BTZ100) , as the research object. PSMB5 was overexpressed or knocked down in two myeloma cell lines via lentivirus transfection. CCK8 assay was used to detect the impact of PSMB5 on cell viability and bortezomib sensitivity in human myeloma cells; Using flow cytometry to test the effects of PSMB5 on apoptosis rate of human myeloma cells under the treatment of bortezomib; Apoptosis-related gene expression of Bax, Bcl-2, p-Akt and cleaved caspase-3 were detected by Western blot. Results: ①PSMB5 overexpression and knockdown were successfully constructed in RPMI 8226 and BTZ100 cells. ②PSMB5 expression was positively correlated with cell proliferation of RPMI 8226 and BTZ100 cells (P<0.05) . ③The cell viability was lower after PSMB5 knockdown in RPMI 8226 cells than control cells under the same concentration of BTZ[IC₅₀ at 24 h: (7.01±0.47) and (9.64±0.55) nmol/L respectively, t=6.289, P=0.003]. The cell viability was higher after PSMB5 overexpression in RPMI 8226 cells than control cells under the same concentration of BTZ[IC₅₀ at 24 h: (10.99±0.58) and (9.51±0.37) nmol/L respectively, t=3.724, P=0.020) . PSMB5 expression was negatively correlated with the sensitivity of RPMI 8226 cells to BTZ. The results of BTZ100 cells were similar. ④The expression of PSMB5 was negatively correlated with the apoptosis of RPMI 8226 and BTZ100 under the treatment of BTZ. ⑤Meanwhile, PSMB5 knockdown could increase the expression of pro-apoptosis gene Bax and cleaved caspase-3 and decrease the expression of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 and p-Akt. PSMB5 over-expression has the opposite results. Conclusion PSMB5 knockdown could improve the bortezomib sensitivity of MM cells via activation of apoptosis signaling. PSMB5 may be a potential therapeutic target for MM.

OBJECTIVE：To study the effects and mechanism o f apigenin on cisplatin sensitivity of NSCLC A 549 cells by regulating RAD51 gene. METHODS ：Human lung cancer cisplatin-resistant cells A 549/DDP were selected and divided into control group（blank culture medium ），cisplatin group （5 g/L），apigenin low-dose and high-dose groups （10，20 μmol/L）. MTT assay was used to detect the growth of A 549/DDP cells ，while the Annexin Ⅴ/PI double staining combined with flow cytometry were used to detect the apoptosis. A 549/DDP cells were collected and divided into cisplatin alone group （1，2，4，8，16 μg/mL）， apigenin combination group （10 μmol/L，based on cisplatin ）. MTT method was used to determine and calculate inhibitory rate of cell proliferation. IC 50 values of drugs were calculated by regression model ，and reversion index of apigenin was calculated. 18 nude mice were randomly divided into control group ，cisplatin alone group and apigenin combination group ，with 6 mice in each group. After A 549/DDP cells were inoculated to form the transplanted tumor ，normal saline ，cisplatin（2 mg/kg，once every other day ）， cisplatin（the same dosage and usage ）+apigenin solution （30 mg/kg，once a day ）were injected intraperitoneally respectively. After 18 days of continuous administration ，the body weight of mice and the mass of the transplanted tumor were detected and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Human lung cancer cells A 549 and A 549/DDP were collected and divided into normal group （A549 cells），control group （A549/DDP cells ），cisplatin group （5 g/L，A549/DDP cells ）and apigenin low-dose and high-dose groups （10，20 μmol/L，A549/DDP cells ），respectively. mRNA and protein expression of RAD51 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blotting assay.

After combined with apigenin ，proliferation inhibition rate of A 549/DDP cells was increased significantly ，compared with cisplatin alone group with the same concentration （P＜0.05）. The IC 50 in the apigenin combination group was （5.81±0.47）μg/mL，significantly lower than （14.44±0.52）μg/mL in cisplatin alone group（P＜0.05），and reversal index of apigenin was 2.49. The results of nude mice tumor inhibition experiment showed that after combined with apigenin，tumor inhibition rate of A 549/DDP bearing nude mice was 68.72％，significantly lower than 33.82％ in cisplatin alone group. Compared with A 549 cells of normal group ，relative expression of RAD51 mRNA and protein were increased significantly in A549/DDP cells of control group （P＜0.05）. Compared with A 549/DDP cells of control group ，relative expression of RAD51 mRNA and protein in A 549/DDP cells were decreased significantly in apigenin low-dose and high-dose groups （P＜0.05）. Compared with cisplatin group ，relative expression of RAD51 mRNA and protein in A 549/DDP cells of apigenin low-dose and high-dose group were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Apigenin can effectively reverse drug resistance of cisplatin-resistant A 549/DDP cells in human lung cancer. The mechanism may be related to the reduction of RAD51 gene transcription and protein expression.
