1.Ursolic acid inhibits migration and invasion of human lung cancer A549 cells by targeting miRNA-133a
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2016;32(12):2239-2244
AIM:To investigate the effects of ursolic acid ( UA) on the migration and invasion of human lung cancer cell line A549, and to explore its mechanism .METHODS:The cell viability was detected by MTT assay .The ex-pression of miRNA-133a was detected in the A549 cells treated with UA by real-time PCR.The miRNA-133a mimics and inhibitor were transfected into the A 549 cells, and the transfection efficiency was analyzed by real-time PCR.The cell mi-gratory and invasive abilities were determined by wound healing and Transwell methods , respectively .RESULTS:The via-bility of the human lung cancer A549 cells was significantly inhibited by UA in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05).IC50 of UA (24 h) for lung cancer A549 cells was 31.04 μmol/L.UA treatment significantly inhibited the migratory and inva-sive abilities of A549 cells in a concentration-dependent manner , accompanied by significantly elevation of miRNA-133a expression.The mimics and inhibitor of miRNA-133a significantly upregulated and downregulated the expression of miRNA -133a in the transfected A549 cells, respectively.In addition, the viability of the A549 cells was decreased extremely after tansfected with the miRNA-133a mimics (P<0.01), so did the results of the cell migration and invasion test .The A549 cells tansfected with the miRNA-133a inhibitor showed an opposite changes of the cell viability , migration and invasion . CONCLUSION:UA inhibited the viability , migration and invasion of lung cancer A 549 cells by elevating the expression of miRNA-133a.

The hemodynamic effects of deliberated hypotension induced by PGE1 or SNP on 14 dogs anesthetized by ketamine were studied separately.MAP was decreased by 30%~40% after infusing PGE,or SNP Hemodynamic variables were measured before and 15 min 30 min after hypotension and 15 min after the discontinuation of infusion.The results indicated that SVRI, PVRI, MPAP, LVSWI and RVSWI all decreased significantly during PGE1-or SNP-induced hypotension. CVP decreased and HR increased significantly during SNP-induced hypotension, but with no significant change during PGE1-induced hypotension and with SVI. CI. PCWP remained unchanged in these two groups throughout the experiments.

Objective To evaluate the safety, efficacy and morbidity of transurethral electrovaporization of superficial bladder tumor (TVBt). Methods TVBt was performed in seventy-three pat iens (mean age 66 years) with superficial bladder carcinoma,twelve of them trans urethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TVP) was carried out simultaneousl y for concomitant BPH. Results The tumor was resected in one-stage for 72 cases,in two-stage for multiple tumors in one patient. The mean operative time was 29 minutes in simple TVBt group, and 78 minutes in the group performing both TVBt and TVP. Intraoperative bladde r perforation occurred in 1 case, No patient need blood transfusion for bleeding . The mean duration of an indwelling urethral catheter was 46h. All patients wer e followed up for twenty-four months, and the recurrence rate was 21% within t wo years after the operation. Conclusions TVBt is a simp le, effective and safe surgery for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic management of bladder neck obstruction (BNO). Methods 44 patients suffering from BNO have been treated by transurethral resection of bladder neck (TURN). Results All patients have been followed up for 6~84 months with a mean of 48 months.The success rate has been 84%.Recurrence was observed in 4 (11%) for all of which TURN was carried out twice or three times with success.The causes of the 7 failures were neurogenic bladder, detrusor-extra-sphincter dyssynergy, BNO with chronic prostatitis (CP) or BNO with chronic cystitis in female patients. Conclusions Endoscopic management is a safe and efficient treatment for BNO.Careful consideration should be undertaken in case there is CP or for female patients.Postoperative adjunctive hormone supplement therapy and long-period urethral dilatation might be needed for preventing recurrence.

AIM:To investigate the regulation of miR-222 on BCL2L13 gene and its effect on the growth and apoptosis of HBx-HepG2 cells, and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms .METHODS:The expression level of miR-222 was detected by RT-qPCR.The HBx-HepG2 cell growth was examined by MTT and colony formation assays .The cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry .The recombination vector pmirGLO-BCL2L13 was constructed, and dual-luciferase reporter experiment was performed to validate the target of miR-222.RESULTS:The expression level of miR-222 in the HBx-HepG2 cells was significantly higher than that in the L 02 cells ( P<0.05 ) .Over-expression of miR-222 enhanced HBx-HepG2 cell growth, changed cell cycle, and inhibited apoptosis (P<0.05).Knockdown of miR-222 reduced HBx-HepG2 cell growth, changed cell cycle, and increased cell apoptotic rate (P<0.05).BCL2L13 was down-regulated in the HBx-HepG2 cells as compared with L02 cells (P<0.05), and knockdown of miR-222 in the HBx-HepG2 cells increased the expression level of BCL2L13 (P<0.05).The results of dual-luciferase reporter assay and re-store experiment showed that miR-222 negatively regulated the expression of BCL2L13 via targeting 3’ UTR of BCL2L13, resulting in the promotion of HBx-HepG2 cell growth .CONCLUSION: miR-222 enhances HBx-HepG2 cell growth via down-regulation of BCL2L13.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Solifenacin for the treatment of overactive bladder in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was done in a children admitted to our hospital in January 2010,with lower urinary tract obstruction lead to overactive bladder.The boy was 4 years old,suffering from difficult urinating,urinary frequent,urgency and incontinence for 4 years.Imaging studies (B ultrasound,intravenous urography,CT,bladder voiding urethrography) found bilateral hydronephrosis and kidney collecting system separation with left 3.3 cm and right 2.3 cm in diameter; ureteral dilation with left 1.3 cm,right 1.6 cm in diameter.A transverse septum crossing the urethra at a right angle distal to the verumontanum was detected.According to history,physical examination and imaging examination,a diagnosis for posterior urethral valves was established.Under general anesthesia,urethroscopy found that the valve was attached below urethra wall,divided into two forks towards urethral lateral wall.The valve was excised.Three months later,although good voiding,the hydronephrosis and hydroureter still did not improve.After cystostomy and 6 months follow-up,hydronephrosis and hydroureter still not improved. B ultrasound showed the renal pelvis dilation with left 3.2 cm,right 2.0 cm in diameter,and bilateral ureteral dilation with left 1.3 cm,right 1.4 cm in diameter.Solifenacin (5 mg/tablet),1/3 tablet,about 1.7 mg per day was added. Results After oral Solifenacin one month,hydronephrosis and hydroureter began to improve.After 3 months,hydroureter disappeared; hydronephrosis improved significantly.. B-ultrasound showed the renal collecting system mild dilation with left 1.1 cm,right 1.0 cm in diameter.After 13 months follow-up,no side effects was detected. Conclusions Combined with the surgical treatment,Solifenacin can alleviate hydronephrosis secondary to OAB,and can also protect the renal function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prognostic factors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after resection.MethodsClinical data of 131 NSCLC patients who underwent resection were reviewed and divided into chemotherapy group(86 cases) and non-chemotherapy group(45 cases) according to the treatment method.Survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.The prognosis was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThe median survival time (MST) of squamous cell carcinoma (76 cases),bronchial alveolar cell carcinoma( 8 cases),adenocarcinoma( 35 cases ),adenosquamous carcinoma (12 cases) was 60,54,34,24 months respectively (P<0.05).For the patients of stage Ⅰ B,the MST of chemotherapy group and non-chemotherapy group was 75 and 76 months respectively(P > 0.05 ).Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size,T stage,N stage,chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors (P =0.080,0.002,0.000,0.029).Conclusions Squamous cell carcinoma and bronchial alveolar cell carcinoma have better prognosis than adenocarcinoma,adenosquamous carcinoma.For the patients of stage Ⅰ B,the survival time can't be prolonged through platinum-based chemotherapy.Tumor size,T stage,N stage,chemotherapy are independent prognostic factors.
