Objective To investigate the effect of parthenolide (PN) on human colon cancer cells in vitro and its mechanism. Methods Human colon cancer cell line HT-29 was cultured and treated with PN at the concentra-tions of 10 ,50 ,100 ,200,500 ,1 000 μmol/L for 48 hours. Then the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. The ex-pression of NF-Κb p50 and COX-2 proteins were analyzed by Western blot and the concentration of PGE2 was meas-ured with ELISA kits. Results PN significantly induced cell apoptosis after 48 h in a dose-dependent manner. The expression of NF-Κb p50 and COX-2 proteins were down-regulated by the PN, and the concentrations of PGE2 were al-so declined. Conclusion PN can induce apoptosis of the human colon cancer cells. And the process may be carried out through the way of "NF-Κb→COX-2→PGE2".

Objective To investigate the application and effect on the performance training of adverse events, and to improve the quality of nursing teaching. Methods Totally 120 new graduate nurses in our hospital were randomly divided into study group(n=60)and control group(n=60). Study group used performance training while control group used traditional training mode and evaluation was made from the adverse event knowledge score , number of adverse events and satisfaction degree of stu-dents. Results Adverse event knowledge score of study group (9.57±0.563) was obviously higher than that of control group(84.90±3.245). Satisfaction degree of students in study group(9.57±0.563) was higher than that of control group(7.35 ±0.917), with statistical differences(P<0.01). Number of ad-verse events(n=3) was obviously lower in study group than in control group(n=15), with statistical differences(P<0.01). Conclusion In adverse events teaching, performance training can be helpful in arousing students' interests in learning. Experiences of self-examination and self-correction also make the students have a deep impression on knowledge, which improves the quality of adverse events teaching and reduces the incidence of adverse events in the new graduates.

The transcranial doppler ultrasonography (TCD) is a non-invasive detection methods of evaluating intracranial artery.Since the 1980s,TCD has been extensively used in various fields of clinical work.Because of its simple operation,good repeatability,and the continuous bedside observation of patients,TCD is especially suitable for severe patients.Increased intracranial pressure is one of the important reasons for the deadly disease in children,it can make the cerebral blood flow perfusion decreased,causing serious consequences,such as brain dysfunction,so intracranial pressure monitoring has important clinical significance.TCD as a noninvasive monitoring tool,can monitor the patients with increased intracranial pressure dynamically,according to the blood flow velocity,the related parameters and the wave of cerebral hemodynamics,so as to achieve the purpose of monitoring intracranial pressure change.This article focused on the TCD application progress in several common children's diseases of increased intracranial pressure.

Objective To study the relationship between E2F2 and the pathological features of RA and the mechanism of E2F2 expression.Methods The interference efficiency was detected by RT-PCR after RA FLs transfected with E2F2 siRNA.The cell proliferation was analyzed by MTS and the expression of numerous genes was tested by ELISA.To analyze the influence of E2F2 in the immune response by RT-PCR,RA FLs were separately treated with TNF-t and PDTC.The way of regulating E2F2 experssion was tested by Chip.Results Compared with negative control groups,the level of E2F2 mRNA were decreased in the cells transfected with E2F2 siRNA (P ＜ 0.01).Silencing E2F2 suppresses the proliferation of RA FLs (P ＜ 0.05).TNF-α regulates the expression of E2F2 in RA FLs via the NF-κB pathway.Conclusion Up-regulation of E2F2 is associated with the process of RA and TNF-α regulates the expression of E2F2 in RA FLs via the NF-κB pathway.Thus E2F2 might be a potential target for use in the development of new therapeutic approches of RA.

Objective We aim to investigate the association between peptidylarginine deiminase type 4 (PADl4) and colorectal cancer by genotyping threetag single nucleotide polymorphisms (tagSNP) genetic maker, to explore the role of polymorphism of PAD14 gene in development of colorectal cancer. Methods A case-control study was conducted using TaqMan-PCR methods to analyze the genotypes of three TagSNPs such as rs1886302, rs2477131 and rs1635561 for 515 patients with colorectal cancer and 549 health controls. Results There is significantly different in allelic frequencies and genotype frequencies of rs1886302 between cases and controls (P=0.039 and 0.040,respectively). The OR value of A allele and AA genotype is 0.796 and 0.731,respectively,and A allele may reduce the probability of incidence of colorectal cancer. No association Was found among SNPs of rs2477131 and rs1635561 within intronl and intron 15 in terms of coloretal cancer. Conclusion Rs1886302 on PADI4 might be a susceptible SNP to coloretal cancer.

The DNA copy-number variant (CNV) is a kind of segments of DNA ranging from 1 kb to 3 Mb that is present in a variable number of copies.CNVs widely distribute across the human genome,and dramatically increases genetic diversity.In recent years,researches have found that most CNVs are closely related to complex diseases.If a cancer gene is directly encompassed or overlapped by a CNV,it may lead to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes,and finally results in tumorigenesis.CNVs can affect gene expression,phenotype differences and phenotypic adaptations by changing gene dosages and gene activities,and then sequentially lead to tumor or any other genetic dieases.Investigating CNVs is apparently helpful for studing chromosome recombination,genomic evolution,gene expression and the pathogenesis of multiple complex diseases especially tumor.

Objective:To investigate the role of miR-581 overexpression on the proliferation of human colorectal cancer cell line SW620. Methods:The expression group,colorectal cancer SW620 cells were transfected with recombinant lentivirus vector ( LV-miR-581) and miR-581 mimics(miR-581),the negative control group were transfected with negative control lentiviral vector (LV-GFP) and negative control mimics (vector). The mRNA expression of miR-581 was identified by qRT-PCR. Proliferation of the cells were detected by CCK8 assary and colony forming assary. Results:The expression of miR-581 at mRNA significantly increased in LV-miR-581 group compared with control groups were detected by qRT-PCR ( P<0. 05 ) . Up-regulation of miR-581 markedly enhanced human colorectal cancer SW620 cells proliferation than those in the cells transfected with control vector ( P<0. 05 ) . Conclusion: Forced expression of miR-581 accelerates the proliferation of colorectal cancer SW620 cells.

Aim To investigate the anticancer activity and the mechanism of the apoptosis induced by Ama-ranthus spinosus L. extract ( ASE ) in human hepatic carcinoma cell line HepG2 . Methods Alamar blue assay was used for detecting the influence of ASE on the proliferation of the cancer cells. The morphological changes of cells were observed under inverted micro-scope and Hoechst 33258 stainning. The apoptosis of HepG2 cells was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot and caspase-3 activity kit were used to detect the protein expression in HepG2 cells. The specific inhibi-tor of caspase-9 and caspase-3 ( Z-LEHD-FMK and Ac-DEVD-CHO) was used to validate the signal transduc-tion pathyway. Results The results indicated that the cell proliferation was inhibited by ASE,especicially the HepG2 cells. The HepG2 cells showed obvious apop-totic characteristics. Flow cytometry analysis further validated the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. The expression of Bcl-2 and survivin was downreagulated in HepG2 cells treated with ASE, and Bax, caspase-9, caspase-3, Apaf-1 and PARP were upregualted. Besides, the caspase-3 activity was also increased. Z-LEHD-FMK and Ac-DEVD-CHO significantly increased the cell vi-abilty of HepG2 cells induced by ASE. Conclusion These results confirm that ASE induces the apoptosis of HepG2 through mitochondria-mediated pathway.
