Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Wumei Wan (Fructus Mume Pills) for diabetic gastroparesis with the syndrome of cold-heat mixture. Methods Sixty-eight diabetic gastroparesis patients with the syndrome of cold-heat mixture were evenly randomized into treatment group and control group. On the basis of treatment for controlling the blood glucose level, the treatment group was given oral use of Wumei Wan and the control group was given oral use of Cisapride. After treatment for one month, the therapeutic effect of both groups was evaluated, and the changes of gastrointestinal symptoms, gastric emptying, 2-hour postprandial glucose(2hPG), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c), and fasting plasma glucose(FPG) in both groups were also observed. Results (1)The total effective rate of the treatment group was 88.24%, and that of the control group was 67.65%, the difference being significant(P<0.05). (2 ) After treatment , the scores of gastrointestinal symptoms of nausea and vomiting, gastric fullness, anorexia, belching and acid regurgitation, abdominal and gastric pain, diarrhea, and constipation in the treatment group were markedly improved(P<0.05 or P<0 . 01 compared with those before treatment ). In the control group, symptom relief was shown in nausea and vomiting, anorexia, and diarrhea(P<0.05). The treatment group had better effect on relieving nausea and vomiting, abdominal and gastric pain, diarrhea, and constipation than the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). (3)After treatment, 2hPG, FPG and HbA1c levels were obviously decreased in both groups(P<0.05 compared with those before treatment) , and the decrease in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (P<0.05). (4)After treatment, half gastric emptying time, full gastric emptying time, and the contraction of gastric antrum were improved in both groups(P<0.05), and the improvement of gastric emptying in the treatment group was superior to that in the cont rol group(P<0.05). Conclusion Wumei Wan has better effect for the treatment of diabetic gastroparesis than western medicine Cisapride.

Objective: To study the effect of lentivirus-mediated microRNA (miR) -1246 RNA interference (RNAi) on biological characteristics and behaviors in cervical cancer cells as well as to identify the downstream signaling pathways affected. Methods: MiR-1246 specific cDNA was synthesized and cloned into the recombinant lentiviral vector (LV-miR-1246-inhibitor) . The SiHa cells were devided into three groups: no viral infection (negative control, NC) , infection with control virus (LV-NC) , and infection with miR-1246-inhibitor virus (LV-miR-1246-inhibitor) . The expression of the miR-1246 was detected by reverse transcription (RT) -PCR. Cell growth was analyzed by cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8) assay. The invasion was dectected by transwell matrige gel. Cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometer. The growth of xenograft tumors was also investigated. Expression of thrombospondin-2 (THBS2) , matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2, 9 were also evaluated in the cells. Results: (1) The expression level of miR-1246 in SiHa cells (0.11±0.13) was significantly lower in group LV-miR-1246-inhibitor than those in the group LV-NC and the group NC (1.14±0.86 and 1.30±0.73, respectively; P<0.01) . (2) The proliferation of SiHa was also markedly suppressed in CCK-8 at 96 hours (P<0.01) . (3) The number of group LV-miR-1246-inhibitor was significantly less than those in the LV-NC and NC groups in transwell invasion assay (71±4, 162±5 and 188±5, respectively; P<0.01) . (4) The apoptosis rate of SiHa cells in the group LV-miR-1246-inhibitor [ (16.10±3.37) %] was significantly lower than those of group LV-NC and group NC [ (5.67±0.89) % and (1.78±0.08) %,P<0.01]. (5) The tumor volume in the nude mice group LV-miR-1246-inhibitor [ (287±59) mm³] was significantly lower than those in the LV-NC and NC groups [ (571±137) and (657±144) mm³, respectively; P<0.01]. (6) Compared with the LV-NC group and the NC group, THBS2 protein expression in the tumor tissue of the nude mice in the group LV-miR-1246-inhibitor was significantly increased (P<0.05) , while the expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 protein were significantly decreased (P<0.01) . Conclusion These results suggest that miR-1246 functions during cervical cancer pathogenesis and tumor formation via the THBS2, MMP signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of bendamustine combination regimen in the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM).Methods:From March 2020 to December 2020, 16 patients with RRMM were treated with bendamustine combination regimen in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. The efficacy and adverse events (AEs) of bendamustine combination regimen were retrospectively analyzed in the 16 patients.Results:The median treatment lines for 16 patients with RRMM who received bendamustine combination regimen was 4 lines, and the median course of treatment was 3 (1-8). The median follow-up time after bendamustine treatment started was 5.3(1.3-9.2)months. Among the 16 cases, the disease control rate (DCR), overall response rate(ORR), and ≥ very good partial remission (VGPR) rate were 13/16, 5/16, 4/16 respectively. The median PFS was 4.9 months. Among them, the ORR of bendamustine combined with immunomodulators was higher. AEs were anemia, leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and fatigue. No patients who stopped treatment and adjusted the dose due to AEs.Conclusions:Bendamustine combination regimen is an effective and safe regimen for relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

OBJECTIVETo investigate miR-20a expression in human glioma and normal brain tissues and its effect on the proliferation of glioma cells in vitro.
