OBJECTIVETo investigate the antithrombotic effects and its molecular mechanisms of prazosin combined with anisodamine (Ani).

METHODSIsolated rat tail artery rings model was employed to evaluate the vasodilative effects of drugs, mice tail thrombosis model induced by carrageenan was used to study the antithrombotic effects and its molecular mechanisms of the drug composition.

RESULTSAmong alpha1-adrenoreceptor antagonists, prazosin(Pra) had the greatest relaxation rate, which was (82.6 +/- 8.9)%, and the EC50 value was 0.44 micromol/L. The drug composition of anisodamine and prazosin of different doses could decrease the length of the tail thrombosis from (24.6 +/- 4.6)mm to (6.9 +/- 2.7)mm, and the rate of thrombosis was decreased from 86.6% to 50.0%. The drug composition could prolong the prothrombin time (PT) distinctively, but it had no effect on the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). It also could restrain the decrease of serum levels of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and 6- Keto -PGF1alpha as well as the increase of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) in the mice.

CONCLUSIONThe drug composition formed by anisodamine and prazosin has good effects of relaxing extremities tiny blood vessels and it can fight against thrombosis, its antithrombotic mechanisms may be related to the influence of the extrinsic coagulation pathway, inhibition of platelet activation functions and the promotion of fibrinolysis function.

Objective RNPC1 may act as an oncogene or suppressor gene in human tumors and its role in human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear.The objective of this study was to investigate the role of RNPC1 in the development of RCC.Methods Over-expression of RNPC1 gene group (RNPC1 group) and short hairpin RNA interfering RNPC1 gene expression (shRNPC1 group) were respectively built in RCC CAKI-1 and CAKI-2.The blank control group (NC group) and negative control group (SCR group) were built as well.The qRT-PCR and western blot (WB) were used to detect the expression levels of RNPC1 mRNA and RNPC1 protein in RCC cells.Lentivirus infection was applied to establish stable expressed RCC cell lines of RNPC1 over-expression and interference.Detection was made on mRNA and protein expression levels in RNPC1 stable RCC cell lines.The effects of RNPC1 on cell proliferation, colony formation assay, migration, and invasion were detected by CCK-8 cell differentiation test, clone test, scratch test, and migration and invasion test.WB was applied to detect the change of protein expression in the EMT path of RNPC1 stable RCC cell lines and explore the molecular mechanism of RNPC1 effect on the biological function of RCC cells.Results The expression levels of RNPC1 mRNA and protein were found lower in shRNPC1 group than those in SCR group, while the expression levels of RNPC1 mRNA and protein in SCR group were higher than those NC group (P<0.05).The capability of proliferation in shRNPC1 group was stronger than that in SCR group, while the capability of proliferation in shRNPC1 group was weaker than that in NC group (P<0.05).The capabilities of cell migration and invasion were stronger in shRNPC1 group than those in SCR group, while the capabilities of cell migration and invasion in RNPC1 group were weaker than those in NC group (P<0.05).RNPC1 could inhibit the proliferation capability of RCC cells and might up-regulate the protein expression of E-cadherin and down-regulate the protein expression of β-catenin and vimentin, thus inhibiting EMT path and the capabilities of migration and invasion off RCC cells (P<0.05).Conclusion RNPC1 acts as a tumor suppressor in RCC and has the potential for the prediction of RCC prognosis.

Objective To explore the relationship between enterprising and magnanimous psychological characteristics and coping modes in cancer patients.Methods Totally 450 cancer patients were randomly chosen to analyze the correlation using enterprising and magnanimous questionnaires and cancer coping modes questionnaires.T-test,Variance analysis and Pearson analysis were employed for statisticals.Results (1) The enterprising and magnanimous psychological characteristics:cancer patients generally got lower scores in the dimensions of enterprising,magnanimous,and total score (59.30±8.09,31.98±6.24,27.32±4.02,respectively) than healthy population (67.44±5.60,34.72±4.57,32.72±3.23,respectively).In demographic level,male and female cancer patients' scores were also lower than the healthy ones'.The higher academic backgrounds they had,the better enterprising and magnanimous psychological attitudes they embraced.In the comparison of occupation,professionals in administrative and companies scored the highest in the dimensions of enterprising,workers in special techniques,commercial and service industries scored higher in the dimensions of magnanimous.All the differences were significant statistically (P＜0.05).(2) Correlation analysis:the correlation index between psychological characteristics of enterprising and magnanimous and the coping modes in cancer patients was 0.463,with a positive correlation(P＜0.01),and the indexes among in the dimensions of enterprising and confrontation were regarded as a positive correlation (r=0.415),and negative correlations (r =-0.139,r =-0.047,respectively) with avoidance and suppression and resignation (P＜0.01).Conclusion The enterprising and magnanimous mental level of cancer patients is lower,which is related to their inappropriate responses of avoidance and suppression and resignation.

Objective To explore the efficacy of ketogenic diet( KD) in the treatment of status epi-lepticus( SE) and whether KD could protect the brain,and propose a new thought on SE patients′reasonably individualized treatment, brain protection and prognosis improvement. Methods From Sep 2013 to Jan 2015,all the patients diagnosed as SE were advised to apply KD treatment; the patients who refused KD treatment were included in the control group,while the patients who accepted KD treatment were included in the treatment group. Based on the SE treatment principles,the control group applied traditional anti-convulsive therapy,while the treatment group applied traditional therapy combined with KD treatment. Before the treat-ment and after the epilepsy control,the patients′ serum was collected to test neuron specific enolase( NSE) and S100βlevels,and the duration of epilepsy control was recorded. Results The treatment group included a total of 10 patients; 3 patients had a good efficacy and obtained seizure-free after the treatment; clinical seizures declined significantly in 6 patients. The treatment group′s overall response rate was 9/10,which was higher than that of the control group(5/8)(P<0. 01). The treatment group′s duration to gain efficacy was shorter than that of the control group[(5. 2 ± 2. 9) d vs. (9. 8 ± 1. 5) d,P<0. 01]. After the treatment,the patients′NSE and S100β in both groups were significantly decreased than those before the treatment ( P<0. 001 or P<0. 05). After the treatment,the serum NSE and S100β of the patients in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group,with statistically significant difference(P<0. 05). Conclusion Frequent epileptic seizures and SE would impair the patient′s brain. Controlling the epileptic seizures actively could lower the severity of brain injury. KD could effectively control the epileptic seizure and had neuropro-tective effects.

Purpose To investigate the expression of EZH2 and p53 protein in breast cancer and to analyze their relationship with the clinical pathologic characteristics and prognosis. Methods The expression of EZH2 and p53 protein were detected by immunohisto-chemical method in 50 cases of breast adenosis tissues, 92 cases of breast invasive lobular carcinoma ( ILC) and 200 cases of breast in-vasive ductal carcinoma ( IDC) , and their correlation was also analyzed. Results There was no statistical significance of EZH2 be-tween ILC and IDC (P>0. 016 7), while its expression in breast adenosis tissues was lower than that in ILC and IDC (P<0. 016 7). In breast cancer the expression of EZH2 protein were not correlated with patient age, menopausal status, histological types, and pTNM stage. In contrast, its expression correlated with the tumor size, lymph node metastasis, molecular subtype, survival status and p53 (P<0. 05). There was no statistical significance of p53 between ILC and breast adenosis tissues (P>0. 016 7), while its expression in IDC was higher than that in ILC and breast adenosis tissues (P<0. 016 7). Its expression had no related to patient age, menopausal status, tumor size, lymph node metastasis in breast cancer, but related to histological types, pTNM stage, molecular subtype and sur-vival status (P<0. 05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed the expression of EZH2 and p53 had correlated with disease-free and overall survival rates of breast cancer (P<0. 05). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that the expression of EZH2 and p53 were independent affecting factors to breast cancer patients. Conclusion The expression of EZH2 and p53 protein increase in the breast adenosis, ILC and IDC gradually, and they have positive correlation. The expression levels of EZH2 and p53 protein have im-portant value to evaluate the prognosis of breast cancer patients.
