Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;(4):350-354
Objective The F10 gene was found in the initial stage of our study to be highly expressed in hydatidiform mole. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of theoverexpression or depletion of F10 on the invasiveness of the choriocarcinoma cell line JAR and explore the relationship of F10 expression with the invasiveness and metastasis ofchoriocarcinoma. Methods Using cell transfection and RNA interference technology, we established JAR choriocarcinoma cell lines with stablyoverexpressedor silenced F10 gene.We randomly and equally assigned 30 SPF nude mice into the three groups to receive the injection of JAR cellswith overex-pressed F10 ( F10 overexpression group) , untreated JAR cells ( control group) , and JAR cells with silenced F10( F10 silence group) . At 5 weeks after the JAR cell injection, we harvested the subcutaneous tumor tissues from the mice, determined the expressions of ma-trix metalloproteinases (MMP), tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), and compared by Western blot and immunohistochemistry, and compared the expressions among the three groups of mice. Results Im-munohistochemistryshowed significantlyup-regulated expressions of MMP-2, -8, -11, -16, and-19 and down-regulated expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 in the subcutaneous tumor tissues in the F10 overexpression group as compared with the control and F10 silence groups ( P<0.05) .Western blot also exhibitedextremely significantly up-regulated expressions of MMP-2,-8,-11,-16, and -19 pro-teins anddown-regulated expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1 proteins in the F10 overexpression groupin comparison with the control and F10 silence groups( P<0.01 ) . Conclusion By up-regulating the expressions of MMPs and down-regulating the expressions of TIMP-1 and PAI-1, the F10 gene might be an upstream stimulating factor involved in the proliferation, invasiveness, and metastasis of-choriocarcinoma cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nursing interventions on the quality of life of patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving nursing interventions were collected from the databases of Cochrane,PubMed,Elsevier Science Direct,VIP,CNKI and WanFang.Data were analyzed with RevMan 5.1 software.Results 8 articles met the inclusion criteria.The results of Meta-analysis showed that there was considerable heterogeneity across the analysis,which might be resulted from length of intervention and patients of different ages according to subgroup analysis,and that gender was not the factor causing heterogeneity.In the experimental group,both physical and emotional aspects after receiving nursing interventions were significantly improved than the control group.Conclusions Nursing interventions can improve the quality of life of patients with CAPD.

Objective To evaluate the effect of volume management on volume overload among continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods The literature were searched by the databases of PubMed,ScienceDirect,Ovid,Cochrane Library,Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Databases (VIP),China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).Data were analyzed with RevMan5.0 software.Results Ten literatures were included in this study.The results of Meta-analysis revealed that volume management could significantly reduce the body weight,degree of edema and systolic blood pressure.However,no significant difference on the diastolic blood pressure appeared.Conclusions Body weight,degree of edema and systolic blood pressure can be improved by effective volume management.Further study about effect of volume control on diastolic blood pressure should be provided in the future.
