OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of cinnamaldehyde ofloxaein-3-ylhydrazone (FQ)16) on apoptosis of human pancreatic carcinoma cells in vitro. METHODS: Human pancreatic carcinoma cell line BxPC-3 was treated with FQ16 at different concentrations. The proliferation inhibition was examined by MTT assay. Morphological examination, TUNEF and agarose gel electrophoresis method were used to detect apoptosis. Western blotting method was used to detect the expression of apoptosis related genes caspase-3 , caspase-9, caspase-8, bcl-2, bax and cytochrome C. RESULTS: The cell proliferation was inhibited by FQ16 in a time- and a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of BxPC-3 cells with different concentrations of FQ16 for 24 h increased the percentage of the apoptotic cells obviously (P < 0.05); the morphology of BxPC-3 showed changes such as nuclear chromatin condensation and fragmentation and typical ladder DNA in apoptotic cells. FQ16 increased protein expression of bax, caspase-9 and caspase-3, and induced cytosolic accumulation of active caspase-9 and caspase-8, whereas the protein expression of bcl-2 decreased. Western blotting results reveal that FQ16 released mitochondrial cytochrome C into cytosol in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION: Apoptosis in pancreatic carcinoma BxPC-3 cells is one of the key mechanisms of action of cinnamaldehyde olloxacin-3-ylhydrazone, and mitochondrial-dependent pathways are involved in the induction of apoptosis of BxPC-3 cells.

Objective To understand the application of dietary supplements among adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) in two areas of China. Methods A total of 615 T2MD patients were recruited from three hospitals in Beijing and Shenyang, with convenience sampling for the study using self-reported questionnaires. Data were statistically analyzed. Results Overall 34. 8% of the participants (22.5% in Beijing and 45.5% in Shenyang, respectively) reported ever use of at least one dietary supplement in the past 12 months. The most commonly used supplement was royal jelly ( 16. 1% ), followed by vitamins ( 10. 1% ), calcium (8. 8% ),fish oil (7. 3% ), spirulina (3.9%), and lecithin (2. 3% ). Except that royal jelly was used for complementary treatment for T2MD, most of the other supplements were used for improving their body defense. In addition, more than 20 other health dietary supplements were also used for diabetes-related conditions in 8. 5% of the participants surveyed. The participants' main sources of information about dietary supplements were from mass media or recommendations by relatives and friends. About half of supplements users perceived that the dietary supplements were effective. The application of dietary supplements was associated with gender, educational background, living area,perceived burden of medical cost, stage of diabetes, comorbidity, and body mass index (BMI) of the patients ( all P ＜0. 05). Conclusions Dietary supplements are widely used among T2MD patients in Beijing and Shenyang.The types of these dietary supplements are diverse and lack professional instructions. It is recommended that information on dietary supplements should be included in diabetes education.

BACKGROUND: Superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve is the part where brachial plexus nerve injury occurred easily during the process of delivery.OBJECTIVE: To perform elongation test, stress relaxation and creeping test on superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve of fresh fetal corpses, and to analyze the mechanical characters of elongation and mechanical characters of visco-elasticity.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled experiment, multiple variable analysis.SETTING: Department of Radiology, China-Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University, Department of Engineering Mechanics, Nanling Campus, Jilin niversity.MATERIALS: The specimens were 30 dead and fresh fetuses aged 6.5 to 8 months, including 16 male and 14 female.METHODS: ①After efrosting at ordinary temperature, superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve was taken out, and 100 samples were cut out along the length wise of specimen. 32 samples were used in elongation test, 32 in stress relaxation test and 32 in creeping test and 4 in pre-test. ②Elongation test, stress relaxation test and creeping test were separate and each test was subdivided into 4 groups: male fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months ,male fetus group of over 8 months, female fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months and female etus group of over 8 months, with 8 samples in each group. ③Superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve was performed one-way elongation test ,and destroy load , intensity limit, maximum strain were obtained; Superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve as performed stress relaxation test and creeping test, and data and curve of stress relaxation test and creeping test were obtained. Experimental data were given normalized treatment and normalized stress relaxation function and normalized creeping function and curve were derived. The experimental data were performed regression analysis with one-dimensional linear regression analysis, then regression coefficient was obtained and experimental curve was fitted.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Mechanical characters of elongation and mechanical characters of visco-elasticity of superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve.RESULTS: ①Destroy load, intensity limit and maximum strain of superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve were all less in fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months than in the fetus group of over 8 months (P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference of mechanical characters of elongation among brachial plexus nerves between male and female (P ＞ 0.05). ② 7 200 s creeping quantity was larger in female fetus group of over 8 months than in the male fetus group of over 8 months [(10.2±1.1)%, (7.2±1.08)% ,P ＜ 0.05].7 200 s creeping quantity was basically close in female fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months group to male fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months [(16.7± 1.6)%,(15.1±1.2)%,P ＞ 0.05]. ③ 7 200 s stress relaxation quantity was basically similar in male fetus group of over 8 months to female fetus group of over 8 months (P ＞ 0.05). 7 200 s stress relaxation quantity was larger in male fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months than in female fetus group of 6.5 to 7 months (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: In the process of delivery, at the same external force, only fewer fetuses with poor ability to resist external force present brachial plexus nerve injury. The individual difference of mechanical characters of elongation of superior trunk of brachial plexus nerve might be caused by heredity, dystrophy and other factors. In addition, at the same strain, the creeping quantity is larger in the female group of small month than in the female group of large month, which might be due to that the development of brachial plexus nerve is not mature in the fetus of small months as that in the fetus of large months.
