Objective To explore the roles of miR-10a in the cisplatin resistance in cervical cancer cell lines,and further study the mechanism.Methods The cells were transfected with the mimics of miR10a and its negative control RNA (NC).Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTF) assay and fluorescence activated cell sorter were used to analyze drug sensitivity and apoptosis after treating with cisplatin,luciferase reporter assay to identify that miR-10a directly targets phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten (PTEN).The expression of PTEN gene and its protein levels after tansfection was measured,respectively.Results after transfected with miR-10a mimics:(1) The 50％ inhibition concentration of Hela cells (7.2 μg/ml) was more than in the NC group (5.6 μg/ml).The 50％ inhibition concentration of Siha cells (6.4 μg/ml) was significantly more than in the NC group (3.8 μg/ml) (P＜0.05).(2) The apoptosis rates of Hela cells and Siha cells were significantly lower compared to the NC group (P ＜ 0.05).(3)miR-10a might directly target the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of PTEN,which significantly changed the PTEN protein level (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions miR-10a may modulate cisplatin-induced apoptosis in cervical cancer by inhibiting PTEN protein level.

Objective To explore the value of somatostatin receptor scintigraphy(SRS) in evaluating the immune activity of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with systemic vasculitis.Methods Twenty-five patients with orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with systemic vasculitis (10 males,15 females,average age:(51.2± 14.2) years) underwent SRS.The uptake ratio (UR) of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor was obtained.(1) Patients were divided into group A (with immune activity) and group B (without immune activity) according to Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS).The difference of UR between the 2 groups was compared by two-sample t test.The difference of UR before and after treatment in 12 patients was also compared.(2) Based on the results by BVAS,ROC curve was used to obtain the cut-off value of UR,as well as the diagnostic efficiency and Youden index.The consistency between SRS and BVAS was calculated.(3)Patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of UR and the prognosis difference between them was compared by Fisher exact test.(4)The expression of SSTR2 and SSTR5 was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results (1) UR in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (2.09±0.44 vs 1.32±0.46,t =5.94,P＜0.01).After glucocorticoids treatment,the UR in group A reduced significantly (t=4.07,P＜0.01),but not in group B (t=1.76,P＞0.05).(2)ROC curve analysis identified UR cut-off value as 1.66,with the sensitivity of 87.5％,specificity of 95.7％,positive predictive value of 95.2％,negative predictive value of 88.0％,accuracy of 91.3％ and Youden index of 83.2％.The consistency between SRS and BVAS was strong (Kappa =0.840).(3) The prognosis was significantly different between patients with UR≥ 1.66 and UR＜1.66 (P＜0.05).(4) The immunohistochemical results revealed high expression of SSTR2 and SSTR5 in inflammatory cells in patients with immune activity.Conclusion SRS has potential value in evaluating the immune activity of orbital inflammatory pseudotumor associated with systemic vasculitis.

The paeonol proniosomes ointment and ordinary ointment were administered to rats. Physiological saline served as perfused solution. The perfusion rate was 5 mL x L(-1) and the microdialysis samples were collected every 20 min intervals. The paeonol concentration in perfused solution was determined by HPLC. Investigation of the pharmacokinetics of paeonol proniosomes ointment and ordinary ointment by the skin-blood synchronous microdialysis coupled with HPLC is reported in this study. The results show that the recovery was (54.80 +/- 1.50)% in vitro and (54.58 +/- 4.61)% in vivo. The results showed that paeonol proniosomes ointment significantly raised the drug concentrations in skin more than the paeonol ordinary ointment. The paeono proniosomes ointment has less drugs into the blood as the ordinary ointments in blood, but its blood drug concentrations were steadier. The paeonol proniosomes ointment may be developed into a new preparation.

Objective To detect the Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (TrFoxp3+),Th17,TrFoxp3+/Th17 and related cell factors level in peripheral blood of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients,and to explore the relationships about TrFoxp3+,Th17 with occurrence and development of lung cancer and whether there are imbalance of TrFoxp3+/Th17.Methods The proportions of TrFoxp3+,Th17 cells and the level of related cell factors such as TGF-β,IL-17,IL-23 were determined respectively by flow cytometry and ELISA in peripheral blood of 18 healthy people and 26 patients with NSCLC.Results The proportions of TrFoxp3+,Th17 and TrFoxp3+/Th17 in peripheral blood with NSCLC were higher than healthy controls(P ＜0.05).The proportion of Th17 cells from NSCLC patients was positively correlated with that of TrFoxp3+(r =0.81,P＜0.05).Comparing TrFoxp3+/Th17 among different TNM stages in NSCLC patients:TrFoxp3+/Th17 of in Ⅳ stage was obvious higher than that of in Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage,Ⅲ stage(P＜0.05).The level of TGF-β,IL-17,IL-23 was higher in NSCLC patients than that in healthy controls,the ratio of TGF-β in the advanced stage group/healthy controls was higher in the early and middle group/healthy controls (P＜0.05).Conclusion TrFoxp3+,Th17 and TrFoxp3+/Th17 in NSCLC patients were higher than healthy people,moreover TrFoxp3+/Th17 in advanced stage increased significantly.The results may imply that there are certain relationships between the imbalance of TrFoxp3+/Th17 and immunosuppression and occurrence and development of NSCLC as well as the regulation of their cytokines.

Objective To observe the characteristics of electro-neurophysiology in diabetic patients with early peripheral neuropathy. Method The nerve conduction velocity ( NCV ) and quantitative sensory test (QST) were examined in 175 diabetic patients without clinical peripheral neuropathy and in 50 normal subjects, and their results were compared. Results In 175 diabetic patients, the abnormal ratio of NCV was 7% (13/175).While using QST,the abnormal ratio was 45% (79/175). There was significant difference between two methods (P< 0.01). Compared diabetic patients with normal subjects,there was no significant difference between motor conduction velocity and sensory conduction velocity (P > 0.05 ).While using QST, the threshold values of cold sensation, warm sensation, and thermalgesia showed significant difference between diabetic patients and normal subjects (P< 0.01). Conclusion QST is more sensitive than NCV in diagnosing diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which suggests that small nerve fibers are more likely to be damaged than large fibers in early stage.

In this study, we explored the feasibility of biotin-mediated modified polymeric micelles for pancreatic cancer targeted photodynamic therapy. Poly (ethylene glycol)-distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (mPEG2000-DSPE) served as the drug-loaded material, biotin-poly(ethylene glycol)-distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (Biotin-PEG3400-DSPE) as the functional material and the polymeric micelles were prepared by a thin-film hydration method. The targeting capability of micelles was investigated by cell uptake assay in vitro and fluorescence imaging in vivo and the amounts of Biotin-PEG-DSPE were optimized accordingly. Hypocrellin B (HB), a novel photosensitizer was then encapsulated in biotinylated polymeric micelles and the anti-tumor efficacy was evaluated systemically in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that micelles with 5 mol % Biotin-PEG-DSPE demonstrated the best targeting capability than those with 20 mol % or 0.5 mol % of corresponding materials. This formulation has a small particle size [mean diameter of (36.74 ± 2.16) nm] with a homogeneous distribution and high encapsulation efficiency (80.06 ± 0.19) %. The following pharmacodynamics assays showed that the biotinylated micelles significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity of HB against tumor cells in vitro and inhibited tumor growth in vivo, suggesting a promising potential of this formulation for treatment of pancreatic cancer, especially those poorly permeable, or insensitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
