Objective To examine the effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) at different concentration (0,10,25, 50 and 100μmol/L ) on proliferation rate and apoptosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line C666-1 in vitro, and elucidate the role of silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1). Methods The proliferation rate in vitro of C666-1 cells stimulated by EGCG at increasing concentrations (0,10,25,50,and 100 μmol/L)for 24 h or at concentration of 50μmol/L for 0,6,12 h and 24 h were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assays. Cell were treated with EGCG at concentration of 0,25, 50 and 100 μmol/L for 24 h, cell apoptosis was anylysed by TUNEL assay and expression levels of SIRT1 protein was detected by western blotting. Results EGCG suppressed cell proliferation of C666-1 cell line in a concentration-dependent manner at concentration of 0 ,10,25,50,and 100μmol/L, and in a time-dependently when treated with 50 μmol/L for 12 to 24 h(P<0.05). After treated for 24 h with different concentration of EGCG at 0、25、50、100 μmol/L, cell apoptosis increased at concentration of 50 to 100μmol/L and expression of SIRT1 decreased in a concentration-dependently (P<0.05). Conclusion EGCG induced cell apoptosis of C666-1 cells by down-regulating SIRT1 expression.

Objective To compare the efficacy and adverse reactions of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and conventional pelvic field radiation therapy for middle and advanced cervical cancer. Methods A total of 144 patients with stageⅡB-ⅢB cervical cancer from October 2007 to September 2012 were divided into IMRT group (72 cases), and routine radiotherapy group (72 cases) by using random number table method. The IMRT group was exposed to the 6 MV-X line 7 field, a dose of 46-50 Gy for planning target volume (PTV), 54-60 Gy for gross tumor volume (GTVnd) simultaneously integrated boosted, in 25-28 fractions. The central block of lead 4 cm was changed to 4 fields irradiation, adding to 46-54 Gy for the conventional group after 30-40 Gy of the whole pelvic field. The total dose for the two groups of patients was 30-45 Gy, after completed 30 Gy in vitro exposure, to the cavity irradiation, 5-7 Gy/fraction, and synchronous cisplatin (DDP) sensitization chemotherapy was done synchronously. Results The recent complete remission, partial remission, overall survival ratio of two groups were compared respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The difference in 1 year survival rate of IMRT group and routine radiotherapy group was not statistically significant (χ2= 1.455, P> 0.05). The difference in 3 and 5 year survival rate was statistically significant [76.4 % (55/72) vs. 59.7 % (43/72); 72.2 % (52/72) vs. 55.6 %(40/72), P< 0.05]. Acute radiotherapy major adverse reactions included the digestive system, urinary system, skin response and haematological toxicity (bone marrow suppression). The incidence and degree of skin response in IMRT group was lower than that in routine radiotherapy group (P<0.05). The adverse effects of late radiotherapy were mainly rectal, bladder, skin response and hematological toxicity (bone marrow suppression). The incidence rectal and skin response in IMRT group was lower than that in routine radiotherapy group (P< 0.05). Conclusion The IMRT can improve the survival rate of advanced cervical cancer patients for 3-5 years, reduce the adverse effects of acute and terminal radiotherapy, and improve the quality of life.

Aim To study the effect of activating Sonic hedgehog( Shh) pathway on the function of endothelial progenitor cells ( EPCs ) in type 1 diabetic mice. Methods EPCs were isolated and cultured by density gradient method from diabetic mice. The effects of Shh N-terminal peptide and agonist SAG on EPCs prolifera-tion were evaluated by using the MTT colorimetric as-say. EPCs migration was measured by Transwell meth-od. EPCs tube formation ability was estimated by Matrigel . EPCs senescence activity was determined by β-galactosidase staining. Results Compared with control mice, the function of EPCs in type 1 diabetic mice was impaired. The proliferation, migration and tube formation of diabetic EPCs could be promoted by Shh peptide and agonist SAG. The senescence of dia-betic EPCs could be decreased by Shh peptide and ag-onist SAG. Conclusion Activating Shh signaling pathway can improve the impared function of diabetic EPCs in type 1 diabetic mice.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of noise on the antioxidant capacity in different regions of brain tissue in guinea pigs.
METHODSThirty male white red-eye guinea pigs were equally and randomly divided into five groups: 1-, 3-, 7-, and 14-day groups after noise exposure and control group. The guinea pigs of the experimental groups were exposed to steady white noise with a sound pressure level at 100 dB for 8 h per day and for 2 consecutive days. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) of guinea pigs, as well as the glutathione (GSH) level, methane dicarboxylic aldehyde (MDA) level, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in the cerebrum, cerebellum, and hippocampus, was determined prior to and 1, 3, 7, and 14 days after noise exposure.
RESULTSAfter noise exposure, the shifts in ABR threshold of the experimental groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Compared with those in the control group, the SOD activity and GSH level both significantly decreased in the cerebrum tissue of each experimental group after noise exposure (P<0.05) and MDA content significantly increased in the 1-day group (P<0.05). As for cerebellum tissue, the SOD activity and GSH level in the 7-day group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05), but there was no difference in MDA level between each experimental group and the control group (P>0.05). In comparison with those in the control group, the GSH and MDA levels in the 1-day group after noise exposure were significantly higher, and the GSH and MDA levels in the 3-day group and the MDA level in the 7-day group after noise exposure were significantly lower (all P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONNoise exposure can lead to hearing loss and affect the antioxidant capacity of brain tissue, which indicates that the improvement in antioxidant levels may alleviate noise-induced damage.

Objective To explore the risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants. Methods Clinical data of 211 cases of late preterm infants with hyperbilirubinemia and 246 cases of late preterm infants without hyperbilirubinemia were retro-spectively analyzed between 2011 and 2012. The risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia were filtered. Results Twenty-seven cases of late premature infants with hyperbilirubinemia were severe. Hospital stay less than 3 days, birth asphyxia history, small for gestatio-nal age, head hematoma, delivery injury, hypoalbuminemia, polycythemia, infection, hemolytic disease, feeding intolerance, and fe-tal excretion delay were associated with hyperbilirubinemia (P<0.05). Rural origin, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and premature rupture of membrane were also associated with hyperbilirubinemia (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the history of birth asphyxia , fetal excretion delay, hypoalbuminemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome were risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants (OR=2.35-4.05). Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and hemolytic dis-ease were risk factors of severe hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants (OR=5.74, 73.64). Conclusions Neonatal asphyxia, fetal excretion delay, hypoalbuminemia and pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome are risk factors of hyperbilirubinemia in late pre-term infants. Strengthening the management of pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and the treatment of newborn hemolytic disease can reduce the occurrence of severe hyperbilirubinemia in late preterm infants.
