Objective To evaluate the efficacy of trolamine cream in the prevention and treatment of acute radioactive dermatitis in patients with breast cancer after modified radical mastectomy.Methods 80 breast cancer patients who received postmastectomy chest-wall irradiation by 6-MeV electron beam were included.40 cases in the treatment group were given trolamine cream combined with the conventional nursing care during radiotherapy,while another 40 cases in the control group were treated with the conventional nursing care.Results In the treatment group,the rates of radiation dermatitis of grade 1,2 and 3 were 70.0 % (28/40),22.5 %(9/40),and 7.5 % (3/40),respectively,while they were 52.5 % (21/40),32.5 % (13/40) and 15.0 % (6/40),respectively,in control group (P < 0.05).Grade 1,2 and 3 radiation dermatitis appeared in treatment group when the radiation doses were (21.91±4.39) Gy,(37.43±6.50) Gy and (46.14±6.50)Gy,respectively,while in the control group,it was (12.67±2.16) Gy,(22.61±3.51) Gy,(42.71±8.11) Gy (P < 0.05),respectively.With cumulative doses of 10 Gy and 25 Gy,the rates of radiation dermatitis in the treatment group were 22.5 % (9/40) and 47.5 % (19/40),respectively,while they were 40.0 % (16/40) and 62.5 % (25/40),respectively,in the control group (P < 0.05).Conclusions Trolamine cream effectively alleviates radiation skin damage in breast cancer patients after modified mastectomy,thus it is suitable for use in patients with postoperative chest wall radiotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the influence of acrylamide ( ACR) on adult neurogenesis and expression of GSK 3βin mouse.Methods:Method Adult male Kunming mice were used and divided into two groups:control group and experimental poisoning groups,that were exposured to acrylamide by intraperitoneal injection.Brdu labeling and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the proliferation of adult neural stem cells in the subgranular zone ( SGZ).BrdU/NeuN/GFAP triple labeling to investigate the survival and differentiation of newly generated cells.Detecting GSK3βexpression and distribution in Neuro-2a cells,the expression of GSK3βwas examined by using Western blot.Results:Compared with control mice ,lower number of BrdU-positive cells and less differentiated into neurons in ACR mice.Less neural stem cells survived ,but more glia cells were generated in the subgranular zone of acrylamide mice.Moreover,higher phosphorylated GSK 3β( Ser9 ) were detected in Neuro-2a cells and mouse dentate gyrus in ACR mice respectively .Conclusion:These results suggested that acrylamide inhibits neural stem cells proliferation and influences the survival and differentiation of newly generated cells.Acrylamide inhibits neurogenesis maybe through GSK 3βsignaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of histone deacetylase inhibitor LBH589 on proliferation,apoptosis and drug resistance of chemoresistant acute myeloid leukemia cells HL60/ADM.Methods HL60/ADM cells were treated with LBH589.Proliferation,apoptosis and adriamycin IC50 were evaluated by MTT assay and AnnexinV-FITC/PI stain.The change in MRP1 expression and intercellular adriamycin accumulatiom were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results Effective proliferative inhibition and apoptotic induction in HL60/ADM cells were observed after treatment with 10-80 nmol/L LBH589 with maximal effect detected after treatment with 70 nmol/L LBH589 for 60 hours.However,inhibition ratio remain unchanged with the further increase of drug dose and incubation time (P > 0.05).Downregulation of MRP1 [(93.90±4.20) % vs (76.19±6.53) %],upregulation of adriamycin accumulation [(8.53±0.68) % vs (25.67±1.34) %] and decrease in adriamycin IC50 [(6.833±0.319) μg/ml vs (1.382±0.104) μg/ml] were induced by the treatment with 20 nmol/L LBH589 (P < 0.01),whose reversal fold was 4.9.The expression of acetylated histone 3 after treatment with LBH589 was higher than that before treatment (P < 0.01).However,relative p-Akt levels after treatment for 24 h and 48 h were 1.07±0.09 and 0.59±0.01,respectively,which were lower than that before treatment (2.03±0.12) (P < 0.01).Meanwhile,expression levels of p53 were 0.57±0.04 and 1.31±0.09,respectively,which were higher than that before treatment (0.21 ±0.02) (P < 0.01).Conclusion Treatment with LBH589 has the capability of inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis,as well as increasing intercellular adriamycin accumulation and sensitivity through downregulation of MRP1 expression and inhibition of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway in HL60/ADM cells.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most common primary malignant intracranial tumors and has a poor prognosis despite the application of standard therapies-surgical resection,radiotherapy and chemotherapy.RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are proteins that directly bound to RNA.They could regulate RNA splicing,polyadenylation,localization,stability and translation by creating functional units called ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNPs).RBPs play an important role in tumor progression including glioma.In this paper,we summarized the recent development of research of RBPs in glioma progress,especially the molecular mechanism of RBPs regulating RNA biological activity.

Heat shock protein A9 (HSPA9), a member of the heat shock protein family, is a putative receptor for Tembusu virus (TMUV). By using Western blot and co-immunoprecipitation assays, E protein domains I and II were identified as the functional domains that facilitate HSPA9 binding. Twenty-five overlapping peptides covering domain I and domain II sequences were synthesized and analyzed by using an HSPA9 binding assay. Two peptides showed the capability of binding to HSPA9. Dot blot assay of truncated peptides indicated that amino acid residues 19 to 22 and 245 to 252 of E protein constitute the minimal motifs required for TMUV binding to HSPA9. Importantly, peptides harboring those two minimal motifs could effectively inhibit TMUV infection. Our results provide insight into TMUV-receptor interaction, thereby creating opportunities for elucidating the mechanism of TMUV entry.

Stem cell research has become a frontier in the field of life sciences, and provides an ideal model for exploring developmental biology problems such as embryogenesis, histiocytosis, and gene expression regulation, as well as opens up new doors for clinical tissue defective and inheritance diseases. Among them, menstrual blood-derived stem cells (MenSCs) are characterized by wide source, multi-directional differentiation potential, low immune rejection characteristics. Thus, MenSCs can achieve individual treatment and have the most advantage of the clinical application. The central nervous system, including brain and spinal cord, is susceptible to injury. And lethality and morbidity of them tops the list of all types of trauma. Compared to peripheral nervous system, recovery of central nervous system after damage remains extremely hard. However, the treatment of stem cells, especially MenSCs, is expected to solve this problem. Therefore, biological characteristics of MenSCs and their treatment in the respect of central nervous system diseases have been reviewed at home and abroad in recent years, so as to provide reference for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.
