OBJECTIVETo study the inhibitory effect of wogonin on the growth and proliferation of breast cancer cells MDA-MB-23, and observe its effect on the adhesion, migration and invasion of MDA-MB-23 cells, in order to further study its molecular mechanism.

METHODMTT assay was used to detect the effect of wogonin on MDA-MB-23 cell growth. Ki-67 assay was adopted to test the effect of wogonin on cell proliferation. Scratch test, adherence test and invasion chamber assay were taken to detect the effect on the migration and invasion abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells. Proliferation and metastasis-related proteins and relevant signaling pathways were detected by Western blotting.

RESULTWogonin could remarkably inhibit the growth and proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells, significantly inhibit migration, adhesion and invasion abilities of breast cancer cells at a low concentration, and effectively inhibit the expression of Survivin, Bcl-2, ICAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 proteins of MDA-MB-231 cells.

CONCLUSIONWogonin could notably inhibit growth and proliferation of breast cancer cells, and inhibit migration, adhesion and invasion of MDA-MB-231 cells. Its invasive and adhesive effects on MDA-MB-231 cells may be related to the decrease in ICAM-1, MMP-2, MMP-9 expressions.

Objective To discuss the clinical effect of artificial pneumothorax combined with intercostal nerve block in alleviating chest pain occurring during and after percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) for subpleural lung malignancy.Methods A total of 30 patients with subpleural lung malignancy were randomly and equally divided into group A (n=10),group B (n=10) and group C (n=10).The patients in group A received both artificial pneumothorax and intercostal nerve block before MWA.The patients in group B only received artificial pneumothorax before MWA,and the patients in group C only received intercostal nerve block before MWA.The degree of pain was evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) score during MWA,immediately after MWA and at 6 h,12 h and 24 h after WMA.The side effects after MWA were recorded.Results During MWA,no statistically significant differences in VAS scores existed between each other among the three groups (P=0.885).The VAS scores determined at 6 h,12 h and 24 h after MWA in group C were significantly increased (P=0.014,P=0.006 and P=0.006 respectively).No patient in group A and group B developed symptoms of chest tightness after artificial pneumothorax was performed.After treatment,a small amount of asymptomatic residual pneumothorax was still observed in 6 patients of group A and group B,which disappeared spontaneously in about one week.Another patient still showed massive pneumothorax even after thoracic gas suction,and the patient recovered after thoracic closed drainage for three days.No other serious complications related to artificial pneumothorax occurred.Conclusion Artificial pneumothorax combined with intercostal nerve block can effectively relieve the chest pain occurring during and after MWA in patients with subpleural lung malignancy,and clinically this technique is quite safe.(J Intervent Radiol,2017,26:269-273)
