Objective To determine the effect of apigenin on inducing apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation of non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H1650. Methods NCI-H1650 cell line was cultured routinely in vitro, with blank control group and different concentrations of apigenin (10, 20, 40, 80 μmol?L-1). The blank control group was RPMI-1640 solution without apigenin. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT. Hoechst 33258 was applied to observe morphological changes of the apoptotic cells after treatment of different concentrations of apigenin. Flow cytometry AnnexinV-FITC/PI double staining method was used to determine cell apoptosis rate. The expression levels of apoptosis-related signaling molecules Bax and Bcl-2 protein were performed by Western blotting. Results MTT showed that apigenin inhibited proliferation of NCI-H1650 cell line in a concentration-and time-dependent manner (P<0.01).Hoechst 33258 nuclear staining showed typical characteristics of apoptosis in certain concentration-dependent manner, such as nuclear condensation and appearance of apoptotic bodies. In addition, the results of flow cytometry staining indicated that the apoptotic rate of NCI-H1650 cells cultured with blank control group and different concentrations of apigenin (10, 20, 40, 80 μmol?L-1) for 48 h was (5.00±0.33)%, (18.05±4.67)%, (21.48± 1.95)%, (43.24±1.11)%, (66.23±3.65)%, respectively (P<0.01).Western blotting results showed that the expression levels of Bax increased with increasing of the drug concentration, but Bcl-2 decreased with increasing of the drug concentration. Conclusion Apigenin can inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of NCI-H1650 cells in non-small cell lung cancer. Mechanisms may be related to increase of the expression of apoptosis related protein Bax and decrease of the expression of anti apoptosis protein Bcl-2.

BACKGROUND: Axial-flow blood pump is a main pump for ventricle assistance. Previous researches demonstrate that poor hemocompatibility of blood pump is an important factor for hemolysis and thrombus.OBJ ECTTVE: To design an axial-flow blood pump based on previous kinds of blood pumps through changing whole appearance and impeller shape of the pump by using Computer-Aided Design CAD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and manufacture it successfully.DESIGN: Rationality of theoretical design was verified by practical tests.SETTTNG: Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences Department of Biomedical Engineering,Beijing Institute of Heart, lung and Blood Vessel Diseases; the Faurteenth Institute of China-Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation.MATERIALS: Body of blood pump and impeller were titanium alligation, and shaft bearing was ceramic. Test in vitro was accorded to artificial ventricular assist device which was provided by Department of Biomedical Engineering, Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences. Experimental goats were provided by Experimental Animal Center, Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences.METHODS: Since the beginning of 2005, a model of axial flow blood pump was designed in the 14th Institute of China-Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation base on decreasing shearing force and circulating dead bands. In the process, CAD and CFD were used to generate the geometrical data document of pump's structure, which included the figures of pump's body, shape and number of impeller's vanes, the structure and position of the guide vanes, and the size of impeller's screw-pitch. And then, NC machine tool was used for shaping. Finally, axial-flow blood pump was fixed on artificial ventricular assist device which was provided by Department of Biomedical Engineering, Beijing Anzhen Hospital of Capital University of Medical Sciences. The pump's hemodynamic output was 5 L/min and the average pressure was 13.3 kPa under the mixture of glycerin and water and fresh anticoagulation goat blood. The samples were collected at every one half hour during pumps being pumping for 4 hours. According to testing pressure output of blood pump, normalized index of hemolysis (NIH) was used to reflect content of free hemoglobin in plasma, observe thrombogenesis in pump and verify pump's hemodynamic output and vascular damaging degree.RESULTS: Shaped axial-flow blood pump included body, impeller, guide vanes, ceramic shaft bearing, export and import. The volume was 63 mL. Experimental results in vitro indicated that when the rotation speed of blood pump was 10 000 r/min, its pressure and flow output were 21.01 kPa and 6.0 L/min. The hemodynamic output might satisfy for left ventricular assistance. Surface temperature did not change obviously during successive rotation. The calculation indicated that most parts in blood pump showed a streaming flow. The mean NIH was (0.047±0.017) g/100 L, which was less than that of previous pumps; while, thrombogenesis was not observed in blood pump.CONCLUSTON: Axial-flow blood pump designed by using CAD and CFD can not only satisfy for the hemodynamics of a left ventricular assistant devices, but also the blood damage is milder than previous pumps. Therefore, axial-flow blood pump improves blood compatibility.

One of the significant hurdles in telemedicine, particularly in ophthalmology, is the absence of direct physical examination. This specialty depends extensively on specialized instruments that typically require proficient operators. Visual function tests are crucial for both outpatient and inpatient ophthalmic services, playing a vital role in screening, diagnosing, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and managing follow-ups for various eye conditions. The progress in mobile technology has paved the way for expanding these tests beyond traditional clinic settings, promoting the creation of patient-focused, straightforward, cost-effective, and efficient measurement tools. In light of the swift advancement of digital technologies, this article reviews the characteristics, and reliability of self-administered visual function tests tools, including visual acuity, refractive error assessment, visual field, contrast sensitivity, and color vision, along with other pertinent diagnostic tools that have been developed and validated for accuracy and repeatability through research, with a view to providing ophthalmologists and patients with scientific and practical references when selecting and using these tools, further promoting efficiency and efficacy of teleophthalmology.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the anti-tumor effects of the components of Ganoderma lucidum(Gc) based on the two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) culture of colorectal cancer HCT116 cells. METHODS The chemical compositional of the three components was identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. An in vitro 3D culture model of HCT116 cells was established by using Matrigel as the matrix material, and the effects of Gc1, Gc2, Gc3, and 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) on the proliferation of HCT116 cells in 2D and 3D culture models were evaluated, and the effects of Gc3 on cell-cycle, apoptosis, drug resistance, lipid metabolism, and 5-FU's anti-tumor activity were evaluated. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. mRNA expression level of the cells was analyzed by Real-time PCR. Proteins expression level of the cells was analyzed by Western blotting. HPLC was used to detect the content of 5-FU in cells. RESULTS A total of 76, 69, and 17 compounds were identified from Gc1, Gc2, and Gc3, respectively. Compared with 2D culture, the proliferation rate of HCT116 cells was decreased in the 3D culture model, and the expression of cell cycle-promoters CDK2, CDK4, CDK6, and fatty acid synthesizer FASN, SREBP1 were significantly down-regulated. On the contrary, the expression of cell cycle-suppressor p21, p27, and lipid droplet breakdown proteins ATGL and drug resistance gene ITGB1, CDH1, ABCB1, and ABCC1 mRNA were significantly up-regulated. Gc1, Gc2, Gc3 and 5-FU inhibited the proliferation of both 2D and 3D cultured HCT116 cells in a dose dependent manner after incubation for 48 h, and the inhibitory effect of Gc3 was significantly stronger than Gc1 and Gc2. Gc3 could not only reduce the expression of CDK2, CDK4, Bcl-xl, ATGL, and LC3B proteins, but also increase the expression of p21, p27, Bax, Cleaved caspase-3, and Cleaved PARP1 proteins, and overexpression of LC3B or ATGL attenuated Gc3-induced cytotoxicity in 3D cultured HCT116 cells. In addition, Gc3 significantly inhibited the expression of ITGB1, CDH1, ABCB1, and ABCC1 mRNA, and increased the intracellular 5-FU content, and enhanced the anti-tumor activity. CONCLUSION Gc3 significantly inhibit the proliferation of 3D-cultured HCT116 cells by inhibiting cell autophagy and lipid droplet breakdown, and enhance the anti-cancer activity of 5-FU by inhibiting the expression of ITGB1, CDH1, ABCB1, and ABCC1 mRNA.

The laterodorsal tegmentum (LDT) is a brain structure involved in distinct behaviors including arousal, reward, and innate fear. How environmental stimuli and top-down control from high-order sensory and limbic cortical areas converge and coordinate in this region to modulate diverse behavioral outputs remains unclear. Using a modified rabies virus, we applied monosynaptic retrograde tracing to the whole brain to examine the LDT cell type specific upstream nuclei. The LDT received very strong midbrain and hindbrain afferents and moderate cortical and hypothalamic innervation but weak connections to the thalamus. The main projection neurons from cortical areas were restricted to the limbic lobe, including the ventral orbital cortex (VO), prelimbic, and cingulate cortices. Although different cell populations received qualitatively similar inputs, primarily via afferents from the periaqueductal gray area, superior colliculus, and the LDT itself, parvalbumin-positive (PV) GABAergic cells received preferential projections from local LDT neurons. With regard to the different subtypes of GABAergic cells, a considerable number of nuclei, including those of the ventral tegmental area, central amygdaloid nucleus, and VO, made significantly greater inputs to somatostatin-positive cells than to PV cells. Diverse inputs to the LDT on a system-wide level were revealed.
