Objective: To study the inhibitory effect of iridoid glycosides from Boschniakia rossica (IGBR) combined with 5-Fu on epithelial-mesenchymal transition induced by TGF-β1 in human hepatoma SK-Hep1 and HepG2 cells, and compare the efficacy of drugs. Methods: The survival ability of HepG2 and SK-Hep1 cells was detected by MTT and the combination index (Q value) was calculated to judge the interaction of combined drugs. The EMT model of HepG2 and SK-Hep1 cells was established. The cell adhesion rate was detected by MTT. The expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) MMP2, MMP7, MMP9, Snail, and Slug was detected by Western blotting. The localization and expression intensity of E-cadherin and Vimentin was detected by immunofluorescence. Results: MTT showed that compared with the control group, the 5-FU group, IGBR group and combination group cell survival ability were decreased (P < 0.05) at 48 h after administration; IGBR and 5-Fu had an additive or synergistic effect. Compared with the model group, the adhesion rate of 5-FU group, IGBR group and combination group was reduced (P < 0.05). Western blotting results showed that compared with the control group, the expression of MMP2, MMP7, MMP9, Snail, Slug were up-regulated (P < 0.05) in the model group. Compared with the model group, the expression of MMP2, MMP7, MMP9, Snail and Slug were down-regulated (P < 0.05) in 5-FU group, IGBR group and combination group. Compared with the control group, immunofluorescence showed that the E-cadherin fluorescence intensity was decreased in the model group, but the Vimentin fluorescence intensity was increased. Compared with the model group, the E-cadherin fluorescence intensity was increased in 5-FU group, IGBR group and combined group, but the Vimentin fluorescence intensity was decreased. Conclusion: IGBR and 5-Fu can inhibit human hepatoma EMT. The combined drugs have the combined effect on HepG2 cells and synergistic effect on SK-Hep1 cells. The therapeutic effect on SK-Hep1 cells is better than HepG2 cells.

Objective To investigate the dynamic change of expression of cyclin dependent kinase-4(CDK4)and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor(p21)in premature rats with hyperoxia-induced chronic lung disease(CLD)and its role.Methods Eighty premature rats were randomly and equally divided into model group(hyperoxia group)and control group(room air group).CLD was induced by hypemxia exposure.The expression of CDK4 and p21 were observed with immunohistochemical method,and the levels of type I collagen were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on days 1,3,7,14 and 21.Results Compared with control group,in model group,the expression of CDK4 protein and level of type I collagen statistically increased,but expression of p21 protein decreased significantly on days 14 and 21.The expression of CDK4 was positive correlated with the degree of fibrosis,and expression of p21 was negative correlated with the degree of fibrosis in model group.Conclusion The expression of CDK4 increases and expression of p21 decreases in premature rats exposed to hyperoxia,which may play an important role in the lung fibrosis.

AIM: To study the pharmacodynamic effect of Chanfuan Oral Solution. METHODS: Acute blood stagnation caused by adrenaline, ankle swelling, ear edema and writhing caused by acetic acid were taken for experiment models. RESULTS: Chanfuan Oral Solution could significantly reduce blood viscosity. Results also showed that it had inhibitory effect on rat's ankle swelling, ear edema and reduction in ratio of writhing of mice. CONCLUSION: These results suggest Chanfuan Oral Solution is an effective drug for reducing blood viscosity, anti inflammation and analgesia.

Objective To explore the effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) on vascular damage characteristics of acute cerebral infarction and the impact on the short term prognosis.Methods One hundred and fifty-six cases of acute cerebral infarction patients were selected and divided into the T2DM group with 64 cases and non-T2DM group with 92 examples.According to the whole cerebral angiogram,the results and the results of the treatment of acute cerebral infarction and prognosis were analyzed.Results The incidence of intracranial artery stenosis of the T2DM group was 79.69％ (51/64),of non-T2DM group was 58.70％ (54/92),the difference between two groups was significant(x2=12.856,P＜0.05).The incidence of before andafter intracranial artery stenosis coexist,circulation narrow coexist in T2DM group was 50.00％ (32/64),59.36％(38/64) respectively,in non-T2DM group was 21.74％(20/92),29.35％(27/92) respectively,the difference between groups was significant(x2 =9.652,8.659;P＜0.05).The incidence of multivessel lesions and diffuse lesions and without collateral compensatory in T2DM group was 71.88％ (46/64),65.63％ (42/64) and 71.88％(46/64) respsctively,in non-T2DM group was 54.35％(59/92),39.13％(36/92) and 31.52％(29/92) respectively,thedifference between groups was significant(x2=8.625,9.354,11.053;P＜0.05).The total effective rate after 2 weeks of treatment in T2DM group was 46.88％(30/64),in non-T2DM group was 90.22％(83/92),the difference between groups was significant(x2=8.061,P＜0.05).Conclusion The incidence of intracranial artery stenosis in patients with intracranial artery stenosis combined with T2DM is higher than the control group,and lesion range widely,diffuse damage,vascular damage moderately severe stenosis and occlusion are significantly higher than in non-T2DM group,especially without collateral compensatory rates is higher than non-T2DM group,while the neural function damage of T2DM group is heavier and poorer prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate glutathione S-transferase GSTO 1 Glu155△Glu genetic polymorphism and risks of arsenic poisoning caused by coal-burning in Guizhou.Methods GSTO1 Glu155 △Glu gene polymorphism was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-with confronting two-pair primers among one hundred and thirty arsenic poisoning patients and one hundred and thirty healthy controls.The results were verified by DNA sequencing.The association between different genotypes and arsenic poisoning was analyzed by unconditional Logistic regression model.ResultsThe results of Glu/Glu and Glu/△Glu genotype detected by this method were consistent with those of DNA sequencing.The frequencies of GSTO1 Glu/Glu genotype and Glu/△Glu genotype were 94.85％(92/97) and 5.15％(5/97) in the patients,99.15％(117/118) and 0.85％(1/118) in the controls,respectively.The difference was statistically significant(x2 =3.896,P ＜ 0.05).△Glu/△Glu genotype was not found in both patients and controls.After age and sex adjusting,GSTO1 Glu155 △Glu polymorphism was found to be a risk factor of arsenic poisoning [odds ratio (OR) =1.85,95％ confidence interval (CI):1.39 - 17.48].ConclusionsThe study finds that GSTO1 Glu 155 △ Glu polymorphism is associated with risk of arsenic poisoning.The relationship between them should be further studied through increasing sample size.
