After treatment,VAS score, HAMD score,and SNCV and MNVC of median nerve and peroneal nerve were compared among 3 groups. Clinical efficacy and ADR were observed. RESULTS:After treatment,VAS score and HAMD score of combination group were significantly lower than control group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). SNCV and MNCV of median nerve and peroneal nerve in combina-tion group were significantly higher than in control group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The effective rate of com-bination group(90.0%)was significantly higher than that of control group A(56.0%)and B(74.0%),with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). No serious ADR was found in 3 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Flupentixol and melitracen combined with pregabalin have definite therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of PDPN with good safety.
3.Effect of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase on proliferation and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma U266 cells and its mechanism
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2021;30(1):27-30
Objective:To investigate the effect of small interfering RNA (siRNA) silencing nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) gene expression on proliferation and apoptosis of human multiple myeloma U266 cells and its mechanism.Methods:In vitro, NAMPT gene-specific siRNA was synthesized to transfect U266 cells. The experiment was divided into si-NAMPT group (transfected siRNA-NAMPT U266 cells) and si-NC group (transfected negative control siRNA U266 cells). The proliferation of U266 cells after transfection was detected by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method, and the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of NAMPT, protein kinase B (AKT), phosphorylation-AKT (p-AKT), glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), phosphorylation-GSK-3β (p-GSK-3β), and β-catenin proteins in each group after transfection.Results:Compared with the si-NC group, the proliferation inhibition of U266 cells (absorbance value at 570 nm) increased after transfection for 48 h and 72 h in the si-NAMPT group (48 h: 0.78±0.06 vs. 1.62±0.11; 72 h: 1.23±0.14 vs. 2.37±0.18), and the differences were statistically significant ( t = 3.54, P = 0.034; t = 4.72, P < 0.01). The early apoptotic rate of cells in the si-NAMPT group increased compared with si-NC group [(53.42±0.25)% vs. (25.98±3.18)%], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 4.41, P < 0.01). Compared with the si-NC group, the levels of p-AKT, p-GSK-3β, NAMPT and β-catenin proteins were significantly reduced in the si-NAMPT group (all P < 0.05). Conclusion:Silence of NAMPT gene can significantly inhibit U266 cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis, and it may play a role by inhibiting the AKT-GSK-3β-β-catenin signaling pathway.

5.Expression of CXCL12 and E-cadherin in condyloma acuminatum lesions caused by low-risk type humanpapilloma virus
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2014;(13):2074-2077
Objective To study the expression of CXCL12 and E-cadherin in condyloma acuminatum (CA) lesions caused by low-risk type (HPV6 and HPV11) humanpapilloma viruses. Methods The expressions of CXCL12 and E-cadherin mRNA in the lesions of CA caused by HPV6 and HPV11 and in the foreskins from normal males as controls were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR. Results The expressions of CXCL12 in the lesions of CA were down-regulated (fold change = 20.23,P = 0.001), and the expressions of E-cadherin were up-regulated (fold change = 3.129,P > 0.05). Conclusions The expression of CXCL12 is lower and the expression of E-cadherin is higher in the lesions of CA caused by low-risk HPV. It suggests that HPV may suppress local immune response and change the adhesion between langerhans cells and keratinocytes , which may contribute greatly to the persistent infection of HPV and relapse of CA.

Acta Universitatis Medicinalis Anhui 2016;51(5):678-681
Objective To investigate the association between serum Klotho and oxidative stress in metabolically healthy obese individuals. Methods 180 physicalexamination subjects were investigated. They were devided into 3 groups:60 cases of normal weight and metabolic normality,60 cases of metabolically healthy but obese( MHO) ,60 cases of obesity with metabolic syndrome. Fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 h blood glucose(2 hBG),triglyceride ( TG) ,high densitylipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C) , systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure,body height, body weight,waist circumference,body mass index( BMI) were recorded. Malondialdehyde( MDA) ,superoxide dis-mutase( SOD) ,total antioxidation capacity( TAOC) ,Klotho were detected by ELISA. The difference of clinical pa-rameters,metabolic parameters,oxidative stress and Klotho among these three groups was compared by the methods of covariance analysis. Regression analysis and pearson correlation were used to evaluate the relationship of Klotho with oxidative stress. Results Compared with the control group, TAOC, SOD, Klotho were decreased significantly while MDA elevated significantly in both MHO group and obesity with metabolic syndrome group(P<0. 05). Com-pared with MHO group, TAOC, Klotho were significantly lower in obesity with metabolic syndrome ( P<0. 05 ) . Klotho protein was significantly positively associated with SOD, TAOC, negatively associated with waist circumfer-ence,BMI,FBG,2 hBG(r= -0. 182,-0. 225,-0. 221,-0. 202,-0. 188,P<0. 05). SOD,TAOC were deter-minants for Klotho. Conclusion The balancebetween oxidative and antioxidative system is disturbed in subjects with MHO. Klotho protein may maintain the normal metabolism of thebody by regulating the oxidative stress.
