OBJECTIVETo discuss the mechanism of gambogenic acid (GNA) in inducing the apoptosis of melanoma B16 cells.

METHODThe inhibitory effect of GNA on the proliferation of B16 cells was measured by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. The effect of GNA on B16 cells was detected by the Hoechst 33258 staining. The transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultra-structure changes of B16 cells. The changes in PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, p-mTOR, PTEN proteins were detected by the Western blotting to discuss the molecular mechanism of GNA in inducing the apoptosis of B16 cells.

RESULTGNA showed a significant inhibitory effect in the growth and proliferation of melanoma B16 cells. The cell viability remarkably decreased with the increase of GNA concentration and the extension of the action time. The results of the Hoechst 33258 staining showed that cells processed with GNA demonstrated apparent apoptotic characteristics. Under the transmission electron microscope, B16 cells, after being treated with GNA, showed obvious morphological changes of apoptosis. The Western blot showed a time-dependent reduction in the p-PI3K and p-Akt protein expressions, with no change in p-PI3K and p-Akt protein expression quantities. The p-mTOR protein expression decreased with the extension of time, where as the PTEN protein expression showed a time-dependent increase.

CONCLUSIONGNA could inhibit the proliferation of melanoma B16 cells and induce their apoptosis within certain time and concentration ranges. Its mechanism in inducing the cell apoptosis may be related to PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the effect of two chemotherapeutic regimens suitable for elderly ad -vanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 58 elderly advance nonsmall cell lung cancer pa-tients randomized into two group:single-agent group and combined group .Single-agent group received gemcitabine 1 000mg/m2 at Days 1 and 8 for a 21 day cycle.Combined group received gemcitabine 1 000mg/m2 at Days 1 and 8 in combination earboplatin AUC 5 at Day 2 for a 21 day cycle .All patients in the two groups received 3 cycles of chemotherapeutic regimens.Results Of the single-agent group,complete remission (CR) in 1 cases,partial remis-sion (PR) in 12 cases, the effective rate was 46.4%,and of the combined group,CR in 1 cases,PR in 13 cases,the effective rate was 50.0%,there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).Of the single-agent group,the median survival time was 9.7 months,1-and 2-year survival rates were 31.3%,12.5%,re-spectively,and of the combined group ,the median survival time was 10.1 months,1-and 2-year survival rates were 33.8%,15.6%,respectively,there were no statistically significant difference between the two groups (χ2 =1.743, 1.529,1.739,all P>0.05).The leutropenia and thrombocytopenia incidence of 3 to 4 grade in the combined group was 50.0%,46.4%,respectively,which were significantly higher than 28.6%and 18.0%in the single-agent group (χ2 =4.41,4.69,all P<0.05).Lung Cancer Symptom Scale scores showed:after the treatment,the anorexia,fatigue and pain scores of the single-agent group improved significantly compared with pre-treatment ( t =2.687,2.789, 2.603,all P<0.05),whereas no significant improvement in the combined group;After the treatment,three symptom scores of the single-agent group were significantly higher than those of the combined group (t=2.986,3.569,2.764, all P<0.05).Conclusion Single-agent gemeitabine regimen efficacy is comparable with that of combined regimen for elderly advanced NSCLC with less adverse effects .

Bonetumorisonekindofmalignanttumorwhichthreatslifeamongchildrenandadoles-cent.Osteosarcoma (OS ) and Ewing sarcoma (ES ) have been paid much attention by medical community because of their complex occurrence,development,metastasis mechanism and poor prognosis.The research showed that activation of protooncogene and mutation of suppressor gene,absence of apoptosis signal and hypox-ia-inducible factor (HIF)all participated in the occurrence,development and metastasis of OS and ES.It is suggested that clarified pathomechanism of bone tumors could provide more effective therapeutic strategies and lower the mortality of patients.

Objective To explore the roles of biomarkers of the ratios of microRNA (miRNA)in osteosarcoma.Methods The blood samples from 20 patients with osteosarcoma and 30 healthy people with similar age were choosed.The miRNA expression profiles were filtered by gene chips of high flux.The results were verified by qRT-PCR.The miRNA expression ratio was analysed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve aiming to find the most predictive potential combination-type markers.Results Two hundred and fifty-eight miRNAs were found to be significantly deregulated in blood samples from 30 patients with osteo-sarcoma as compared with their matching normal blood samples (F=5.564,P<0.05).Four miRNAs were choosed from blood samples of22 patients with osteosarcoma and normal blood samples.MiR-181b,miR-199b-5p and miR-451 were significantly higher than that in normal blood sample (F=6.283,P<0.05),while miR-124 showed low expression (F=7.201,P<0.05).Furthermore,the ratio of miR-199b-5p/miR-124 showed a high sensitivity (96%)and specificity (97%).Conclusion The abnormal expression of miRNA in osteosar-coma makes it have a predictive effect.The ratio of miR-199b-5p/miR-124 could be served as combination-type biomarkers in the diagnosis of osteosarcoma.
