Objective To explore the expression of PRR11(Proline-rich protein 11) in human osteosarcoma and investigate the effect of PRR11 on the proliferation of human osteosarcoma cells.Methods Immunohistochemical staining was applied to detect the PRR11 expression in 75 cases of osteosarcoma and corresponding normal tissues.Western blotting was used to examine PRR11 protein expression levels in osteosarcoma cell lines.We used siRNA to knock down the expression of PRR11 and tested the effects of PRR11 down-regulation on the proliferation in SaOS2 cells.Results PRR11 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma specimens compared to their paired normal tissues,the over expression rate of PRR11 in osteosarcoma and corresponding paracancerous tissues were 76％(57/75) and 9.33％(7/75) with statistical difference(P<0.05).The high expression of PRR11 was correlated with tumor pathological grade and lymphatic metastasis(P<0.05).PRR11 was expressed in 4 osteosarcoma cell lines which were SaOS2,143B,U2OS and MG63 respectively,the expression was highest in SaOS2 cells.Silencing PRR11 inhibited cell growth as compared with control cells(P<0.05).Conclusion PRR11 is overexpression in human osteosarcoma and promotes its progression by enhancing proliferation.The increased expression of PRR11 in osteosarcoma is a new target for treatment and early diagnosis of human osteosarcoma patients.

Objective To evaluate the interventional of bare-handed core muscle strength training and the sling exercise therapy (SET) on low back pain.Methods The soldiers of an Air Force Station who suffered from low back pain participated in the study.One hundred and forty-four patients were equally divided into three groups: the core muscle strength group (using core muscle strength training and the general physical therapy), the SET group (using SET and general physical therapy), and the control group (using the general physical therapy).All the groups were tested for 6 weeks.Questionnaires were distributed to the three groups before intervention, two weeks, four weeks and six weeks after intervention in order to find out about the degree of LBP, lumbar function and activity of these cases.Changes in the lumbar muscle strength were observed.Results The number of the patients who completed the test included 43 cases in the bare-handed core muscle strength group, 43 cases in the SET group and 44 cases in the control group, respectively, the VAS scores were 3.25, the Roland scores were 5.83,the FFD scores were 8.58 of the bare-handed core muscle strength group;the VAS scores were 3.30, the Roland scores were 5.93,the FFD scores were 8.10 of the SET group;the VAS scores were 2.41, the Roland scores were 3.03,the FFD scores were 7.40 of the control group.The LBP intervention efficiency of the three groups was 90.90%, 85.13% and 46.82%, respectively.There was no significant difference in indexes between the test groups(P>0.05).But compared with the control group,there was significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion The bare-handed core muscle strength training and SET have obvious effects on LBP cases.According to their own infrastructure and facilities, military health care organizations in different environments can intervene in LBP cases with the bare-handed core muscle strength training or SET to alleviate the pain effectively.

Objective To investigate the correlation between nuclear factor(NF)-?B and inflammation of cell in adriamycin-induced nephritic rats,and the intervention of antisense oligonucleotide targeting NF-?B to adriamycin-induced nephritic rats by measuring the expression of NF-?B p65 in renal cortex and the secretions of interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in serum.Methods Thirty male SD rats were divided into 5 groups(6 rats in each group):group A(sham operation),group B(glomerulosclerosis),group C(sense oligonucleotide),group D(non-sense oligonucleotide),group E(antisense oligonucleotide).Glomerulosclerosis models were made for SD rats by unilateral nephrectomy and being injected with adriamycin into caudal vein.In the 8th week,various medicine applys to correspon-ding group for intervention.At the 4th day and 8th day after intervention,the excretion amounts of 24 hours urine protein were determined.Hematoxylin-Eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the renal pathological changes.Using image analysis system to calculate glomerulosclerosis index(GI).The expression of NF-?B p65 in renal cortex was measured by immunohistochemistry staining,the secretions of IL-6,TNF-? in serum were performed by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbnent assay,respectively.Results At different time points,the expressions of active-NF-?B p65,IL-6,TNF-? in group E were significantly lower than those in group B.The intervention effects of antisense oligonucleotides at the 8th day were stronger than that at the 4th day.Conclusions NF-?B is significantly correlated with glomerulosclerosis and inflammations of glomerular intrinsic cells.Using NF-?B antisense oligonucleotide to be injected into renal artery can block directly the translation of NF-?B gene,delay inflammations of glomerular intrinsic cells and the progressions of glomerulosclerosis.
