1.Effects of infant antibiotic usage on childhood asthma morbidity
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2015;(2):101-104
According to clinical epidemiological researches, the usage of antibiotics in infant increases the risk of childhood asthma morbidity. The mechanism of this link is not entirely clariifed, and it is assumed of being related to side effects of antibiotics, which changes the colonization of normal intestinal lfora and reduces the diversity. It is clear that normal intestinal lfora of infant help to construct innate immune system and adaptive immune system, and forge immune tolerance. Therefore, normal intestinal lfora might be helpful in reducing allergies. The usage of antibiotics in early life changes the quantity and the composition of intestinal lfora, and breaks the balance of immune homeostasis, which might increase the risk of asthma morbidity. The abuse of antibiotics in children is a general phenomenon in China which needs attention from pediatricians.

BACKGROUND:Currently, there is no effective treatment for keloids that often recur. Its pathogenesis is stil entirely unclear, and fibroblast proliferation and apoptosis have become a research hotspot.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of Livin, Smac and Caspase-3 in keloids and to analyze their relationship so as to preliminarily explore the significance of Livin, Smac and Caspase-3 in the pathogenesis of keloids.
METHODS:RT-PCR and immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Livin, Smac and Caspase-3 in keloids (n=20) and normal skin tissues (n=20).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal skin tissue, the mRNA and protein positive expressions of Livin were significantly higher in keloids (P < 0.05), while the mRNA and protein positive expressions of Smac and Caspase-3 were lower in keloids (P < 0.05). There was a negative association between Livin and Smac, Caspase-3 protein expression in keloids. These findings indicate that the high mRNA expression of Livin may cause the imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of fibroblasts by inhibiting the mRNA expression of Smac and Caspase-3, and eventualy lead to the formation of keloid.

Objective:To investigate the in vitro anti-cancer effect of Vinorelbine (NVB) combined with adriamycin (PLD) on human breast cancer MCF-7 cells and related mechanisms.Methods:The effects of NVB and PLD alone or in combination on the proliferation of breast cancer cells were detected by CCK-8 experiment. Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Western blot experiment was carried out to detect protein expression.Results:The results of CCK-8 showed that compared with the blank control group, the inhibition rates of the vinorelbine treatment group, the adriamycin treatment group and the combined treatment group were 27.6%, 31.2% and 65.4%, compared with the NVB group and PLD group, the difference between the combined treatment group was statistically significant ( P=0.005 vs 0.001) . The results of flow cytometry showed that the proportion of apoptotic cells in each group was 3.54%, 16.95%, 15.01% and 32.24%, compared with the NVB group and PLD group, the difference between the combined treatment group was statistically significant ( P=0.006 vs 0.005) . The levels of reactive oxygen species in each group were 1, 1.03, 1.06 and 1.57, compared with the NVB group and PLD group, the difference between the combined treatment group was statistically significant ( P=0.008 vs 0.007) . Western blot results showed that the expression of p-ERK and p-STAT3 decreased after the combination of NVB and PLD, which inhibited the ERK/STAT3 signaling pathway. Conclusions:The combination of NVB and PLD can promote the apoptosis of breast cancer cells and inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cells with high efficiency and low toxicity. Its mechanism of action may be related to the up-regulation of ROS levels in cells, thereby inhibiting the activation of the ERK/STAT3 pathway.
