Objective: To investigate the effect of ELMOD2 over-expression on the malignant biological behaviors of gastric cancer MGC803 cells, and to study its related molecular mechanism. Methods: GV141-ELMOD2 expression vector was transfected into human gastric cancer MGC803 cells. The mRNA and protein expressions of ELMOD2 were detected by Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and WB, respectively. The cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8 method. Apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The cell migration ability was detected by Transwell method. The protein expressions of PCNA, BAX and Bcl-2 and Vimentin were detected by WB. Results:After transfection of ELMOD2 expression vector, the mRNAand protein expressions of ELMOD2 were significantly increased in MGC803 cells (P<0.05). Further studies showed that over-expression of ELMOD2 increased the proliferation and migration ability but reduced the apoptosis rate of MGC803 cells significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The protein levels of PCNA, Vimentin and Bcl-2 in MGC803 cells increased, while the protein level of BAX decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: Over-expression of ELMOD2 can promote the proliferation and migration of MGC803 cells and inhibit cell apoptosis. These effects may be achieved by increasing the protein level of PCNA, Vimentin and Bcl-2, and reducing the protein level of BAX.

Objective:To observe the changes of somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) in the upper limbs of patients with acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) cerebral infarction, and to explore its relationship with neurological impairment.Methods:From January 2015 to December 2016, 62 patients with 38 cases of male and 24 women of cerebral infarction who were treated in the department of neurology, Kailuan General Hospital were selected for a retrospectively prospective cohort study, including 38 males and 24 females.aged (66.7 ± 10.9) years old and ranging from 33.0 to 85.0 years old.According to the side of cerebral infarction, 37 cases were divided into left MCA group and 25 cases into right MCA group.During the 48 hours of admission, the electromyography evoked potential meter was used to detect the upper limb SEP, and the peak latency, amplitude and electrical activity waveform of the cerebral cortex potentials N20, P25 and N35 were recorded.Results:The results of SEP in the contralateral limbs of the left and right MCA cerebral infarction group were as follows: 1 case (2.70%) and 5 cases (20.00%) of normal median nerve; 36 cases (97.30%) and 20 cases (80.00%) of abnormality.The ratio of median nerve abnormalities in the group was statistically significant (χ 2=12.577, P<0.001). The ulnar nerve was normal in 3 cases (8.11%), 4 cases (16.00%); 34 cases (91.89%) and 21 cases (84.00%) were abnormal.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ 2=2.320, P=0.128). The peak latency and/or amplitude of each peak decreased in 34 groups (60.71%) and 33 cases (60.00%) of the ulnar nerve; the waveform of electrical activity disappeared, 22 cases (39.29%) of median nerve and 22 cases of ulnar nerve (40.00%). The peak latency and/or amplitude decreased, the electrical activity waveform disappeared, and the median nerve and ulnar nerve were compared, and the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2=0.021, P=0.885). The National Institue of Health Storke Scale(NIHSS) scores of left and right MCA cerebral infarction group were 34 (91.89%) and 19 (76.00%) respectively.Among them, the disappearance of electrical activity waveform were 18 cases (52.94%) and 4 cases (21.05%)of median nerve; 18 cases (52.94%) and 4 cases (21.05%) of ulnar nerve.The SEP electrical activity waveform disappeared in patients with moderate or higher neurological impairment, and the median nerve and ulnar nerve were statistically significant (χ 2=20.613, 20.613, all P<0.001). Conclusion:The median nerve and ulnar nerve SEP of the contralateral upper limb, which is dominated by the acute middle cerebral artery cerebral infarction, were abnormally changed.The main manifestations were that the latency of each peak of N20, P25 and N35 was prolonged and/or the amplitude was significantly decreased, and the waveform of SEP electrical activity disappeared.In addition, the disappearance of SEP wave activities only occurred in moderate and above neurological damage

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of modified Yinqiaosan combined with antibiotics in the treatment of acute tonsillitis in children with wind-heat invading lung syndrome. MethodA total of 96 children with acute tonsillitis of wind-heat invading the lung syndrome were randomized into control group and observation group. The control group was treated with routine antibiotics, and the observation group was treated with modified Yinqiaosan and antibiotics for 7 days. The scores of major symptoms (sore throat, erythmatous throat, dysphagia, erythmatous tonsils and suppuration) and minor symptoms (fever, cough, stool, and tongue) and the levels of inflammation- and immune-related indexes [white blood cell (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A (SAA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)] were compared between two groups. ResultThe data of 92 children were statistically analyzed: 45 in the observation group and 47 cases in the control group. The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was 95.56%, as compared with the 93.62% of the control group. After treatment, the scores of major symptoms in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the scores of cough, defecation, and tongue in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of inflammation- and immune-related indexes after treatment in the observation group were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). Except IFN-γ, the levels of the inflammation- and immune-related indexes in the control group were lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of SAA and IL-6 in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionModified Yinqiaosan combined with antibiotics can significantly reduce the expression of SAA and IL-6 in the treatment of children with acute tonsillitis, thereby alleviating inflammation and clinical symptoms and improving prognosis.
