[Objective]This study was aimed to research the synergistic antitumor proliferation effects and their best proportion of ursolic acid(UA) and tetrandrine(Tet), a pair of compounds isolated from Chinese herbs which showed complement inhibition on the multiple signal pathways. [Methods] The reporter assays on tumor-related signal pathways for MAPK/ERK, MAPK/JNK, NF-κB, Wnt, Notch, Cell Cycle, Myc/Max and Hypoxia were used to study the effect of five different Chinese herbal compounds on tumor proliferation,it was concluded cepharanthine(Cep), Tet, 18α-glycyrrhetinic acid(18α-Gly), UA and luteolin(Lut). MTT assay and crystal violet staining were used to study the antiproliferative effect of 15 different compounds for the tumor cells of MDA-MB-231,SW480,MG63,PC3,DU145,HCT116,143B and MDA-MB-468, which is consisted with Cep, Tet, 18α-Gly, UA and Lut for the 15 different compounds. Coefficient of drug interaction(CDI) method was used to detect the synergistic effect of the two compounds. Combination of index(CI) and isobologram method was used to screen the best ratio of compounds in their antiproliferative effects. [Results] The signal pathway reporter assay showed that UA and Tet could complementarily inhibit tumor-related signaling pathways. And the results also showed that UA and Tet could induce synergetic anti-tumor cell proliferation in vitro. Furthermore, the optimal ratio of UA and Tet was 9:1 by using isobologram and CI method. [Conclusion] UA and Tet can be inhibited and complemented by 8 tumor-related signaling pathways, and we used MTT assay and crystal violet staining or other methods to confirm the synergistic antitumor proliferation effects, furthermore, the optimal proportion for UA and Tet were screened, and it provided a new insight to develop new anticancer formula in research.

Objective To investigate and analyze the death situation of children aged under 5 year old in a class 3A hospital during 2007-2015 to provide a basis for formulating corresponding interventional measures to reduce the disease mortality of children.Methods The medical records of children death in this hospital during 2007 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The mortality rate of children under 5 years old in this hospital during 2007-2015 showed a decreasing trend year by year.There was the statistically significant difference in the mortality rates among different years,between male and female (3.58 %vs.2.10%) and between rural family registers and non-rural family registers(P<0.05);the neonatal mortality rate was highest (50.45 %);the top 5 places of death causes were premature delivery or low birth weight newborns,respiratory system diseases,nervous system diseases,congenital diseases and accidents.Conclusion The key for reducing the children mortality rate is to strengthen the perinatal health care,strengthen prenatal examinations and pregnant examinations,prevent the occurrence of respiratory system disease,pay attention to the influence of various factors on children health and prevention and treatment of accidents.
