Objective To study the effects of MACC1 down-regulation on the growth of gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Methods siRNA (MACC1-siRNA1 and MACC1-siRNA2) that can transiently silenced MACC1 was designed, syn?thesized and transfected into MGC-803 cells by lipofectamine 2000. Non-specific siRNA was transfected to be used as nega?tive control. The efficiency of MACC1 depletion was determined by Real-time quantitative PCR. MTT, colony formation and flow cytometry assay were performed to examine cell proliferation. The expressions of MACC1, P21,CDK4, CCND1 and c-myc were determined by Western blot. Results Compared with cells in negative control group, transiently silencing MACC1 decreased the expression of MACC1 in MGC-803 cells shown by Real-time PCR. MACC1 downregulation drastical?ly changed the proliferation, colony formation and cell cycle of gastric adenocarcinoma cells in vitro ( P<0.05). The expres?sions of MACC1 , CDK4, CCND1 and c-myc proteins in cells of MACC1 silence group were much lower while P21 expres?sion level was much higher than those in negative control. Conclusion Down-regulation of MACC1 result in blocking cell cycle, inhibiting proliferation of MGC-803 cells. So it may serve as a promising target in the treatment of gastric cancer.

AIM: To analyze the application on frequency domain optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) technology of pathologic myopia optic disc neurosensory retinal thickness changes and its relationship with axis oculi, sex and age, and help for the early diagnosis of pathological myopia and primary open angle glaucoma.
METHODS:Collected 96 eyes of normal eyes ( axis oculi 23-24mm) and 153 eyes of pathologic myopia eyes ( axis oculi 25-27mm 80 eyes, >27mm 73 eyes). We measured the thickness of nerve fiber layer of the optic disc by OCT and analyzed their relationship with axis oculi, sex and age with multiple linear regression analysis.
RESULTS: The observation group showed significant smaller average thickness of peripapillary, superior, inferior, nasal than the control group ( P<0. 05 ); the difference in the temporal quadrant between the groups were no statistically significant differences (P>0. 05); The partial correlation coefficient of peripapillary average thickness of nerve fiber layer and axis oculi was -1. 31, gender was 5. 21, age was -0. 12.
CONCLUSION:The thickness of nerve fiber layer of the optic disc in the pathologic myopia eyes are decreased than normal eyes, axis oculi, sex and age are influenced factors. The pathologic myopia patients should use different index combined with optic nerve fiber layer thickness decreased to help for the diagnosis of early primary open angle glaucoma.
