Objective To detect the expression of serum soluble E?cadherin(sEC)before and after operation in breast cancer patients,and to ex?plore its clinical significance. Methods The levels of sEC in 42 patients with breast cancer and 18 patients with benign breast diseases were tested by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)before and after operation as well as in 30 healthy controls. Its correlation with clinical and patho?logical characteristics was analyzed. Results The levels of sEC in breast cancer patients before operation were significantly higher than patients with benign breast diseases and controls,which declined significantly after operation. Moreover,the levels of sEC in those with high clinical grading and lymphatic metastasis were also higher than in the ones with low grading and negative lymphatic metastasis(P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of sEC in breast cancer patients before operation are specific and closely related with pathological grade and lymphatic metastasis,which may be a pre?dictive factor for prognosis of breast cancer.

To observed the Clinical effect of ropivacaine (Rop) of different concentration used for analgesia of labor, and ex plore the ideal concentration and dosage. Methods: 45 case s of ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ primiparae nearing labor were vandomly divided three groups rand omly (0.16% Rop group, 0.2% Rop group were assigned 15 cases). The analgesia, in which the cervical os had opened up to 2-3cm; the controlled group was not giv en the analgesia of labor. BP, SpO2, EKG, PETCO2, cerrical contraction , fetal cardiac sounds were monitored continuously in the perinatal analgesia pe riod. The analgesia effects were determined by giving a mark for pain by VAPS, motor nerve blockings were given amark by Bromage scale; Apgar scale were conduc ted 1-5 min after neonates were labored out. Results: The vital signs of three groups were stable in perinatal; the VAPS scale was lower s ignificantly in observed group than in controlled group; while the blocking freq uency and extent of motor nerve were highest from 0.2% Rop, which had light inhi bitory effect to cervical contraction, causing the dosage of oxytocin to increas e relatively; the NACS scale 24 h after labor was more increased significantly in observed group than controlled group. Conclusion: The un ique blockings to sense and motor were obviously separate, having no obvious eff ect to blood stream of uterus and placenta, being benificial to analgesia in per inatal. The 0.16% Rop was a more ideal local anaesthesia agent than 0.2% Rop .

Aim To investigate effects of berberine (Ber) on the transport of P-gp substrates including cyclosporine A (CsA) and digoxin across Caco-2 and L-MDR cell monolayers. Methods Permeability coefficients and transport rates of digoxin and CsA across Caco-2 and L-MDR1 monolayers were measured in the presence of Ber(50 ?mol?L-1~5 mmol?L-1). Results The inhibition studies for digoxin transport showed a dose-dependent decrease in basal-to-apical direction across Caco-2 and L-MDR1 monolayers in the presence of Ber (50 ?mol?L-1~5 mmol?L-1). Both a dose-dependent decrease in basal-to-apical direction and an increase in apical-to-basal direction were observed for CsA transport across Caco-2 monolayers with different concentrations of Ber. The IC50 values calculated for Ber-induced inhibition of digoxin transport are 1.44 mmol?L-1 in Caco-2 cells and 1.24 mmol?L-1 in L-MDR1 cells, respectively. The IC50 value for Ber-induced inhibition of CsA transport is 607 ?mol?L-1 in Caco-2 cells. Conclusion It was suggested that the inhibition and saturation of P-gp transport activity might be involved in interactions between Ber and CsA.

Objective To explore the proliferative and apoptotic effect of 3 different siRNAs targeting survivin in human bladder cancer cell line EJ28. Methods Three siRNAs targeting survivin and 1 fluorescence-labeled siRNA as a negative control were chemically synthesized. Transfetion efficiency was observed under fluorescence microscope after transfecting the fluorescence-labeled siRNAs. EJ28 cells were divided into 6 groups: siRNA164 group, siRNA167 group, siRNA389 group, and negative control group, lipofectin group and cell control group. The proliferation of EJ28 cell was detected by MTT assay at 24, 48 and 72 h after the transfection. Apoptotic rate was detected by Annexin V-FITC-FCM assay at 48 h.Results All the sequence-specific siRNAs targeting survivin efficiently suppressed the proliferation of EJ28 cells. siRNA 164 had the most powerful effect because of its highest inhibitory rate of (41.32?2.54)% and the highest apoptotic rate of (13.20?0.25)% at 48 h after transfection. Conclusion RNAi targeting survivin has a potential value in the gene therapy of bladder cancer.
