Objective To investigate the effect of bortezomib on the proliferation and apoptosis in leukemia cell line NB_4-R2 in vitro and provide some new evidences for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia APL with ATRA-resistant using bortezomib. Methods NB_4-R2 cells were incubated with bortezomib at different does for 48 h. The proliferation capacity was measured by MTT assay, the morphology of cell apoptosis observed with Hoechst33342 staining by fluorescence microscopy and the percentage of apoptosis calculated by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis protein of cleaved (poly ADP-ribose polymerase, PARP) and Caspase-3 were determined by Western blotting. Results The proliferation of NB_4-R2 cells were obviously inhibited by bortezomib in vivo and the role of inhibition was a does-dependant manner within the scope of the bortezomib concentration from 1-5 μg /L.The incidence of inhibition was up to 74.9 % at the bortezomib concentration of 5 μg/L. Within this scope of the bortezomib concentration mentioned above, the role of inhibition of proliferation of NB_4-R2 cells mainly showed an increase of the late apoptosis, and the percentage of apoptosis was up to 78.9 %. In the meaning time, the expressions of the apoptotic protein of cleaved PARP and Caspase-3 were up-regulated in NB_4-R2 cells after treated with bortezomib by Western blotting assay. Conclusion Bortezomib can inhibit the proliferation of NB_4-R2 cells in vivo by inducing cell apoptosis.

Objective: To summarize and critically assess the evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture in treating dry eye syndrome (DES) according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and the Cochrane Collaboration recommendations. Methods: A search of PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov and Embase was made from their inception to August 2016, as well as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean databases. Two reviewers independently selected RCTs and assessed the methodological quality. Meta-analysis and the level of evidence were processed by RevMan 5.3 and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. Results: After selection, 8 trials were subjected to our systematic review. The methodological quality was low generally. The 3-10 weeks follow-up showed that acupuncture improved the tear film break-up time (BUT) (MD=1.33, 95%CI=1.01-1.66, 619 participants). The mean difference of Schirmer's test was 1.73 mm (95%CI=1.28-2.18, 618 participants) between the acupuncture group and the control group. The subjective variables exhibited no significant differences. Conclusion: The low methodological quality of the trials does not suggest drawing firm conclusions on the value of acupuncture therapy for DES. Acupuncture treatment may have some effects on the tear film BUT and Schirmer's test, but not on the subjective symptoms. Well-planned large-scale high-quality RCTs are needed to make it clear whether acupuncture is effective in treating DES.
