Tumor 2013;33(10):868-872
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of gypenosides on proliferation of human uterine cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro, and to explore its possible mechanism. Methods: The HeLa cells were treated with different concentrations of gypenosides (low-dose group, 4.5 μg/mL; middle-dose group, 45 μg/mL; high-dose group, 450 μg/mL). The cells treated with 0.9% sodium chloride solution was designed as a control group. The inhibitory effect of gypenosides on the proliferation of HeLa cells was detected by MTT assay and BrdU (5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine) incorporation experiment. The effect of gypenosides on apoptosis of HeLa cells was detected by FCM (flow cytometry). The expression levels of Bcl-2, Bax, ERK1/2 (extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2), p-ERK1/2 (phospho-ERK1/2), MEK1/2 (mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase) and p-MEK1/2 were detected by Western blotting. Results: The survival rate of HeLa cells was decreased significantly after treatment with gypenosides (45 μg/mL) at 24 h (P < 0.01). The survival rate of HeLa cells was decreased significantly after treatment with gypenosides (4.5 μg/mL) at 48 h (P < 0.01). The inhibitory effect of gypenosides (450 μg/mL) on the cell proliferation was confirmed by BrdU incorporation experiment. The apoptotic rate of HeLa cells was increased significantly after treatment with different concentrations of gypenosides. Gypenosides could down-regulate the expression levels of Bcl-2 and p-ERK1/2 and up-regulate the expression level of Bax. Conclusion: Gypenosides can significantly inhibit the proliferation of cervical cancer HeLa cells and also markedly induce the apoptosis. This effect may related to the up-regulation of Bax expression and down-regulation of Bcl-2 and p-ERK1/2 expressions. Copyright © 2013 by TUMOR.
2.Effect of transverse abdominis plane block combined with dexmedetomidine on recovery quality after cesarean section under general anesthesia in post anesthesia recovery unit
Journal of Chinese Physician 2021;23(1):19-23
Objective:To study the effects of transverse abdominis plane block (TAPB) combined with dexmedetomidine on the recovery quality after general anesthesia in cesarean section.Methods:From June 2019 to October 2020, 120 cases of cesarean section in Changsha Maternal and Child Health Hospital were randomly divided into dexmedetomidine group (Group D), transversus abdominis plane block group (group T), transversus abdominis plane block combined with dexmedetomidine (Group TD) and control group (Group C). Before anesthesia induction, local infiltration of 1% lidocaine was performed at the incision of all parturients. Propofol and rocuronium were used for induction under general anesthesia. After delivery of fetus, sufentanil and midazolam were injected intravenously, and propofol was pumped to maintain anesthesia. At the same time, dexmedetomidine was pumped into group D and TD, and normal saline was pumped into group T and C. After the posterior sheath of rectus abdominis was sutured in T group and TD group, two epidural anesthesia catheters were placed to the fascia of transverse abdominis on both sides, and 10 ml of 0.33% ropivacaine was injected respectively. The parturients were sent to postanesthesia care unit (PACU) after the operation. The time from the end of operation to the extubation of tracheal tube, heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) before operation (T 1), after induction (T 2), after operation (T 3), at the time of extubation (T 4), 10 minutes after extubation (T 5) and at the time of leaving PACU (T 6) were recorded. Steward's wake-up score at T 4, T 5 and T 6, agitation during extubation (Sedation Agitation Scale, SAS score), PACU stay time and pain visual analogue scale (VAS) were recorded. Results:There was no difference in HR and MAP between the four groups at T 1, T 2, and T 3 ( P>0.05), while HR and MAP in group C at T 4, T 5 and T 6 were higher than those in the other three groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in Steward′s wake-up score among the four groups ( P>0.05). The SAS score [(4.0±0.4)point], the time from the end of operation to extubation [(10.1±1.5)min] and stay time of PACU [(21±4.2)min] were the lowest in group TD than those in the other three groups ( P<0.05); the VAS score in group TD [(0.5±0.5)point] and group T [(1.1±0.4)point] were lower than that in group D [(4.1±0.3)point] and group C [(5.3±0.5)point] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The application of general anesthesia combined with TAPB and dexmedetomidine in cesarean section may improve the quality of anesthesia recovery.
3. Inhibitory effect of PTD-OD-HA fusion protein on Bcr-Abl in K562 cells
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2012;37(10):781-784
Objective To study the transduction dynamics, location of PTD-OD-HA fusion protein and its interaction with Bcr-Abl oncoprotein in K562 cell lines, and explore the influence of PTD-OD-HA fusion protein on oligomerization and tyrosine kinase activity of Bcr-Abl. Methods PTD-OD-HA fusion protein was labeled with FITC and co-cultured with K562 cells. The transduction efficiency of labeled PTD-OD-HA at different doses and time intervals was observed under fluorescence microscope. The location of labeled PTD-OD-HA fusion protein in K562 cells was detected by confocal microscopy. The interaction of PTD-OD-HA fusion protein with Bcr-Abl oncoprotein was confirmed by coimmunoprecipitation. The phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl oncoprotein was detected by Western blotting. Results PTD-OD-HA fusion protein labeled with FITC was transduced into K562 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. PTD-OD-HA fusion protein was located in the cytoplasm of K562 cells and was consistent with the location of Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. The interaction of PTD-OD-HA fusion protein with Bcr-Abl oncoprotein was proved in K562 cells. This interaction could interrupt the homologous oligomerization of Bcr-Abl oncoprotein and reduce the phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. Conclusion PTD-OD-HA fusion protein could be transduced into K562 cells efficiently, inhibit the oligomerization and reduce the phosphorylation of Bcr-Abl oncoprotein.

Objective To observe the effect of Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection on urinary albumin excretion rate in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods A total of 90 patients with DN were divided into two groups: group A was micro-urinary-albumin group; group B was multiple-urinary-albumin group. Both groups were treated with routine therapy plus Ginkgo biloba extract injection (at a dose of 15ml) q.d. for 4 consecutive weeks. The urinary albumin excretion rate was compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Results As compared with the group B, urinary albumin excretion rate was significantly lowered in the group A (P<0.01). Conclusion Ginkgo Biloba Extract Injection had effects in lowering microalbumin in urine and therapeutic effect for patients with early DN.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADR) caused by quinolones in our hospital and to promote their rational use in clinic. METHODS: By a retrospective review,a total of 199 quinolones-induced ADR cases collected from May 2004 to December 2007 in our hospital were analyzed statistically in respect of patients' gender and age,drug species involved,past ADR history,route of administration,clinic manifestations,etc. RESULTS: A total of 9 kinds of quinolones involved in the 199 ADR cases,of which,118 cases were induced by levofloxacin,16.1% had past ADR history,93.5% of the ADR cases were induced via intravenous drip,and most common presentations of the ADR were lesions of skin and its appendants as well as digestive system. There were 7 serious ADR cases. CONCLUSION: The indications of quinolones should be controlled strictly,which should be preferably administered orally and monitoring of its administration should be emphasized in clinical practice to decrease and avoid the occurrence of ADR.
