Objective:To investigate whether celecoxib(CXB), a specific COX-2 inhibitor,can inhibit the proliferation of cyst lining epithelial cells through blocking mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) signal transduction pathway.Methods: Primarily cultured cells were treated with different concentrations of CXB(0,2.5?10~(-6),5?10~(-6),1?10~(-5),2?10~(-5),3?10~(-5),4?10~(-5),5?10~(-5)mol/L) and the proliferative status was evaluated by BrdU assay.The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);the production of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and phosphoMAPK were measured by real-time reverse transcription-PCR assay;and the expression of PCNA,MAPK and phospho-MAPK protein was detected by Western blotting.Results: BrdU assay revealed that CXB inhibited cell growth in a concentration-dependent manner;the maximum inhibition rate([63.9?1.2]%) was found when cells were treated with 2?10~(-5) mol/L CXB for 24 h.VEGF secretion by cyst lining epithelial cell was reduced by CXB in a concentration and time-dependent manner.The mRNA and protein levels of PCNA,phospho-MAPK in CXBtreated group were lower than those in control group(with no CXB treatment).Conclusion: CXB can obviously inhibit the proliferation of cyst lining epithelial cell and the secretion of VEGF,which might be through interfering with the phosphorylation of MAPK and partly blocking MAPK signal transduction pathway.

Objective To improve the quality and santdard of medical French bilingual teaching and promote the learning ability of the students in medical universities. Medthods Analogy between English and French was applied to the intervention of bilingual teaching in the clinical students who were learning medical French. The advantages and disadvantages were analyzed.Results The students could apply their prior English to medical French learning and make progress in both languages. A series problems were found during the practice:arrangement of teaching contents, lack of teaching materials and shortage of teaching staff. Conclusion Analogy between English and French is an effective teaching method in both foreign language teaching and bilingual teaching. But the expected teaching goals can be achieved only by formulating reasonable teaching contents and strategies and mproving teachers’ quality.

Protein kinase B (PKB), a serine/threonine kinase Akt, regulates many vital cellular functions, such as cell apoptosis, cell cycle progression and glucose metabolism, etc. Akt/PKB carries out these functions mainly through phosphorylation of a number of cellular substrates. As one of the important substrates of Akt, FOXO transcription factors have attracted more and more attention in regulating cell cycle and apoptosis. FOXO transcription factors are primarily regulated by the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signal pathway via phosphorylation,and re-positioning accompanied by sub-cellular distribution. This article reviews the role of FOXO transcri ption factors in neuronal apoptosis after cerebral ischemia.

Infiltrated immune cells and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment may play different functions that appear tightly related to clinical outcomes.Radiotherapy mainly kills tumor cells through radiobio-logical effect,meanwhile it can indirectly change tumor immunologic microenvironment,and has a local or dis-tant anti-tumor immunological effect cooperatively.Animal experiments and clinical trials of radiotherapy com-bined with immunotherapy display well applied prospects,but the mode of radiotherapy in combined treatment needs further research.

Objective:To investigate and compare the influences of Ghrelin and growth hormone releasing peptide 6(GHRP-6) on the contractility of stomach smooth muscle in guinea pigs,and to study the related mechanism.Methods: The myenteric plexuses of gastric fundus and antrium in guinea pigs were stimulated with electrical field stimulation(EFS) to observe the influence of Ghrelin and GHRP-6 on the contractility of stomach smooth muscle.The influences of N-nitro-L-arginine(L-NNA) and L-Arginine(L-AA) on the effect of Ghrelin and GHRP-6 were studied to disclose the mechanism of the effects of Ghrelin and GHRP-6.Results: The circular muscle tissues of the gastric fundus generated on-relaxations and off-contractions when stimulating myenteric plexuses with 1-16 Hz electrical field;the on-responses induced relaxation could be reduced by L-NNA and the off-contractions induced contraction could be blocked by atropine and guanethidine.In fundic strips,ghrelin and GHRP-6 could decrease the on-response induced relaxation and increase off-response induced contraction of the muscle,with the effect of Ghrelin obviously stronger than that of GHRP-6.L-NNA could increase the effects of Ghrelin and GHRP-6-induced muscle contraction,and L-AA could decrease their effects.In the antral strips,electrical field stimulation of myenteric plexuses led to disappearance of relaxation wave,only leaving off-contractions.Both ghrelin and GHRP-6 could increase that contraction.Conclusion: Both ghrelin and GHRP-6 can promote the contractility of stomach smooth muscle in guinea pigs through stimulating myenteric plexuses of gastric fundus and antrium,which might be related to the NO pathway.

Objective To compare the effects of transcranial and trans-spinal low frequency magnetic stimulation (MS) on the expression of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in the spinal neurons of rats after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods Forty-five Sprague-Dawley female rats were divided randomly into a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) group,a trans-spinal cord magnetic stimulation group and a model control group with 15 in each group.Another 6 rats served as a normal control group.Spinal cord injury at the T9-10 level was modeled according to the modified Allen's method.The rats in the two MS groups received magnetic stimulation at 0.5 Hz and 75％ of the maximum output intensity ( 1.9 T) of the magnetic stimulator beginning 24 h post injury.They received 30 pulses daily for 28 days while the rats in the model control group were not exposed to MS.Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) scale scores and motion evoked potentials (MEPs) were measured at the 1st,7th,14th,21 st and 28th day post injury.The expression of GAP-43 protein was studied using immunohistochemical methods and semi-quantified by Western blotting. Results At the 4th week post injury the average BBB scores in the model control group,the TMS group and the trans-spinal cord magnetic stimulation group were all significantly different. MEP amplitudes decreased significantly in all groups after the injury,and the latency was prolonged,but there were no significant differences among groups at any time point.GAP-43 expression also increased after SCI,and it was significantly higher in the MS groups than in the model control group at 4 weeks. Moreover,the expression of GAP-43 in the trans-spinal cord MS group was significantly greater than in the TMS group.Conclusion Magnetic stimulation can promote nerve regeneration and improve locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury,at least in rats.The effect of trans-spinal cord magnetic stimulation is superior to that of TMS.The mechanism may be related to the activation of central pattern generators.
