Objective To analyse the effect of berberine on D-dimer, fibrinogen (FIB) and interleukin-6(IL-6) in peripheral blood of ovarian cancer patients.Methods 130 cases selected from the hospital were diagnosed as unilateral ovarian cancer, treated by surgery and chemotherapy.The patients were divided into control group (25 cases) and experimental group (105 cases), and the experimental group were randomly divided into A, B, C three groups, 35 cases in each group.The experimental group received berberine hydrochloride tablets, orally, three times a day, on the basis of conventional chemotherapy.The experimental groups were divided into three subgroups according to the dosage: A group: 0.3 g, B group: 0.2 g, C group:0.1 g, 35 cases in each group, continuously treated for 2 weeks.The levels of D-dimer, FIB and IL-6 and quality of life score were detected before and after treatment.Results After treatment, D-dimer level in each subgroup of experimental group was lower than that in control group, respectively, and A group

Objective To study the effect of human homologue of polycomb 2 (HPC2) on the growth of cervical cancer cells siha and the regulation of E7 gene.Methods HPC2 and E7 genes of siha cells were silenced by siRNAs respectively.Detected the expression of HPC2 gene and protein in siha cell lines after E7 gene silencing,cell proliferation activity and the rate of cell apoptosis.Results The expressions of HPC2 mRNA and protein were decreased in siha cells with E7 gene silencing,cell proliferation was inhibited,and apoptosis was increased,which was similar to HPC2 gene silencing.Conclusion HPC2 may be involved in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis,and its expression may be closely related to E7 gene in SiHa cells.
