Objective To investigate in vitro effects of tanshinoneⅡA on the autophagy of A375 melanoma cells and related signaling pathway. Methods Some cultured A375 cells were divided into 5 groups to be treated with tanshinoneⅡA at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/L, and DMEM containing 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), respectively, for 24, 48, 72 hours. Methyl thiazol tetrazolium (MTT) assay was performed to estimate the proliferative activity of A375 cells. Some cultured A375 cells were divided into 4 groups to be treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg/L tanshinone ⅡA(1?, 2?and 4?mg/L tanshinone group), and DMEM containing 0.1% DMSO (control group), respectively, for 48 hours. Then, flow cytometry was conducted to count autophagosome?positive cells, and Western blot analysis to determine protein expression of autophagy?associated proteins Beclin?1, microtubule?associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3)?Ⅱ, phosphatidylinositol 3?kinase(PI3K), protein kinase B(Akt), mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)and p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1(p70S6K1). Results MTT assay showed that 24?, 48?, 72?hour treatments with tanshinone ⅡA at concentrations of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/L all could inhibit the proliferative activity of A375 cells, and the inhibitory effects increased in a dose? and time?dependent manner(F = 2 564.12, 1 235.25, both P < 0.05). The percentage of autophagosome?positive cells and protein expression of Beclin?1 and LC3?Ⅱincreased gradually and significantly in the 1?, 2?and 4?mg/L tanshinone groups(autophagosome?positive cells: 6.91% ± 0.35%, 13.11% ± 0.73%, 25.51% ± 0.83%, respectively; Beclin?1: 0.33 ± 0.01, 0.53 ± 0.04, 0.63 ± 0.02, respectively; LC3?Ⅱ: 0.41 ± 0.01, 0.52 ± 0.02, 0.64 ± 0.02, respectively), after 48?hour treatment, which were significantly different between the tanshinone groups(all P<0.05), and higher in the tanshinone groups than in the control group(0.41%±0.02%;0.09 ± 0.02;0.21 ± 0.01, all P<0.05). However, the protein expression of PI3K, phosphorylated Akt(p?Akt), p?mTOR and p?p70S6K1 in the PI3K?Akt?mTOR?p70S6K1 signaling pathway decreased gradually and significantly with the increase in tanshinone concentrations after 48?hour treatment, and were significantly lower in all the tanshinone groups than in the control group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion Tanshinone ⅡA can promote the auophagy of A375 cells, likely by blocking the PI3K?Akt?mtTOR?p70S6K1 signaling pathway.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry(DEXA),scanning electron microscopy,and bone biomechanical test were used to assess comprehensively bone quantity and quality of ovariectomized rats. In OVX rats,not only bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar vertebrae in vivo and vitro,but also BMD of femora (except for R3 region) and proximal metaphysis(R1 region) in vitro decreased obviously (P<0.01),whose bone loss rates of L5 and L6 were the highest and achieved 13%; the trabeculae of OVX rats were few,fine, and discontinued and there were lacunae on the surface;in OVX rats,both compressive strength of vertebral bodies and the mechanical properties of femora decreased;the falling degree of the former was greater;the maximal compressive power of lumbar vertebrae decreased with 33.32%. We conclude that after 4-month post-ovariectomy, the bone quantity and quality of six-month-old rats decreased, especially in the area of abundant cancellous bone such as vertebral bodies,distal femora; the assessment of the efficiency of new drugs to prevent and treat postmenopausal osteoporosis using rat models should include these drugs' effects to the bone mass, the bone structure, and the bone strength.

Objective To discuss the psychological behavior intervention methods on reducing the violence behavior of schizophrenia patients. Methods 120 schizophrenia patients were admitted from January to December, 2007 and randomly assigned into the behavior intervention group (group A), the psy-chological support group (group B), the health education group (group C) and the control group (group D) with 30 cases in each group. Group A received routine nursing plus behavior intervention, group B was giv-en routine nursing plus psychological support, group C adopted routine nursing plus health education, group D only received routine nursing. The intervention effect was evaluated with MOAS and the relapse rate of violence behavior went through statistics. Results After intervention, the scores of MOAS decreased sig-nificantly in group A, B, C and D compared with those before intervention. The reduction of MOAS scores in group A, B and C was significantly higher than that of group D, with the highest reduction score in group A and group B and C followed subsequently. The relapse rates of the violence behavior in group A, B and C were significantly lower than those of group D. Conclusions Routine nursing, health education, psycho-logical support and behavior intervention can all reduce and decrease the violence behavior and the inci-dence of the violence behavior, among which behavior intervention proves to be the most effective, and psy-chological support and health education go subsequently.

Objective To explore the effect of ultra-early hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) on bone calcium, biomechanical properties and bone collagen of femur in rats with complete spinal cord transaction. Methods A total of 75 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in-to sham group (n=15), model group (n=20) and HBO group (n=40). HBO group was divided into three hours group (HBO1 group, n=20) and twelve hours group (HBO2 group, n=20). All groups underwent laminectomy at T10, while the model group, HBO1 group and HBO2 group underwent complete spinal cord transection at the same level. Three hours and twelve hours after surgery, HBO1 group and HBO2 group received HBO, respectively, for three courses with ten days in a course. After treatment, the femoral biomechanical properties, bone calcium and hydroxyproline (Hyp) were determined. The morphology of bone trabecula and the bone collagen was observed with HE stain-ing and Masson triad color staining, respectively. Results After treatment, compared with the sham group, the femoral biomechanical proper-ties, the content of bone calcium and Hyp decreased in the model group (P<0.05);compared with the model group and HBO2 group, they in-creased in HBO1 group (P<0.05). The number of bone trabecula and the bone collagen decreased, and derangement and sparseness were ob-served in the model group;however, the changes were substantially mild in HBO1 group. Conclusion Ultra-early HBO could increase the content of bone calcium and Hyp of femur, improve the morphology of the femur bone collagen, and improve the femoral biomechanical properties in rats with complete spinal cord transection.
