Objective To study the inhibitory effect of fluorouracil combined with DDP on the growth of human osteosarcoma cell line MG-63,and to explore its influence on the expressions of transient receptor potential vanilloid 5 (TRPV5 )and transient receptor potential vanilloid 6 (TRPV6 )proteins.Methods The MG-63 cells were cultured by the density of 5 × 104 mL-1 .Fluorouracil group,DDP group,fluorouracil+ DDP group and control group containing 10% FBS were set up.The inhibitory rates of growth of MG-63 cells at different time were detected by CCK-8 assay.The apoptosis of MG-63 cells after treated with different drugs was determined by Hoechst staining Kit.The immunocytochemical staining was used to treatent to detect the expressions of TRPV5 and TRPV6 before and after treatment.Results Fluorouracil and DDP both inhibited the growth of MG-63 cells in a time-and dose- dependent manner.There were a lot of black particles in the MG-63 cells and the cells were smaller,aging or death when they were exposed to fluorouracil or DDP.Compared with 24 h group,the inhibitory rates of proliferation of MG-63 cells after treated with the sigle drug of fluorouracil or DDP for 48 and 72 h were increased significantly (P <0.05).Compared with control group,the apoptotic rates of MG-63 cells in fluorouracil group and DDP group 24,48,and 72 h after treatment were increased (P < 0.01)in a time-dependent manner. The expression levels of TRPV5 and TRPV6 in MG-63 cells 72 h after treatment of fluorouracil and DDP were decreased significantly compared with before treatment (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Fluorouracil, DDP and fluorouracil combined with DDP could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MG-63 cells,induce the apoptosis, and decrease the expression levels of TRPV5 and TRPV6.

Objective To review the publication of general practice education in China mainland in 20 years from 1993 to 2012.Methods The research articles of general practice education published between January 1,1993 and December 31,2012 were searched from CNKI and Wanfang databases, and analyzed with bibliometric and literature management software NoteExpress 2, Epidata 3.1 and SPSS 13.0.Results Total 4 281 articles were retrieved and 241 education relevant articles were selected.29.9％ (72/241) of the 241 articles were on on-campus education, 67.6％ (163/241) were on continuing medical education and 4.5％ (11/241) were on post-graduation education.As to the published institutions, 58.5％ (141/241) were from the medical colleges and research institutions, 25.7％ (62/241 were from the tertiary hospitals, 3.7％ (9/241) were from primary care institutions, 1.7％ (4/241 were from the secondary hospitals and 5.8％ (14/241) were from the government departments.The general practice education grants increased from 1 in 2001 to 46 in 2012;20 of which were supported by provincial and ministerial level funds.Conclusion The contents of general medical education literature in China is mainly on on-campus education and continuing medical education;most of which were from the tertiary hospitals and the medical colleges and research institutions.The amount of research grants of general practice education were increasing year by year during 1993-2012, indicating that more attention had been paid to general practice education in mainland China in the last two decades.

Objective To study the effect of microRNA-204 (miR-204) on the biological characteristics of breast cancer cells.Methods Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-204 in human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 after transfection of miR-204 mimics and inhibitor for 48 h.Flow cytometry was used to analyse the effect of miR-204 on the proliferation and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells.The effect of miR-204 on the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by Transwell migration assay.Results Real-time PCR analysis showed that miR-204 mimics and inhibitors had significant effect compared with normal control group(P<0.01).Flow cytometry analysis showed that compared with normal control group,the number of G1 phase cells of miR-204 mimics group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),while the number of G2/M cells of miR-204 mimics group was significantly increased(P<0.01).In contrast,the number of G1 phase cells of miR-204 inhibitor group was significantly increased(P<0.01),while the number of G2/M cells of miR-204 inhibitor group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).miR-204 mimics group significantly promoted apoptosis,while the inhibitor group significantly inhibited apoptosis(P<0.01).Transwell migration analysis showed that the number of cells of miR-204 mimics group were significantly reduced,while the number of cells was significantly increased in the inhibitor group(P<0.01).Conclusion We find miR-204,which can promote cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation and migration,is a negative factor in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.
