Background and purpose:Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) participates in angiogenesis and lymph node metastasis of lung cancer. COX-2 inhibitors could inhibit invasion and metastasis of lung cancer. This study aimed to investigate the inhibition of invasion and metastasis by COX-2 inhibitor imrecoxib in xenograft tumor of lung adenocar-cinoma A549 cell in nude mice and to explore its possible mechanisms, in addition, to observe the efficacy of imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin.Methods:Thirty male BALB/c nude mice were injected subcutaneously with A549 cells into the right axillary region to establish xenograft models. Twenty-nine successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into four groups: control group (n=7), imrecoxib group (n=8), lobaplatin group (n=7), imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group (n=7). The control group was treated with the same amount of sterile distilled water and injected with the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride solution via caudal vein. The treatment group was treated with imrecoxib tablets 40 mg/kg per day through gavage and injected with lobaplatin 7.5 mg/kg per week via caudal vein respectively. The diet, physical activity and other normal conditions of nude mice were observed everyday. After 6 weeks, 29 mice were sacrificed and transplanted tumor tissues were cut off. The expression of PTEN, cortactin protein and mRNA were detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR. The data were analyzed with one-way anova and non-parametric test.Results:In the last week, the diet and physical activity of all nude mice were less than before, and they became thinner, which were more obvious among the mice in lobaplatin group and imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group. Compared with the control group, the expression of PTEN protein and mRNA were significantly increased in imrecoxib group and imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group (P<0.001, respectively). Compared with the control group, the expression of cortactin protein and mRNA were significantly decreased in imrecoxib group and imrecoxib combined with lobaplatin group (P<0.001, respectively). PTEN and cortactin protein, PTEN and cortactin mRNA had significantly negative correlation (r=-0.660, -0.983,P<0.001, respectively). Conclusion:Imrecoxib can inhibit non-small cell lung cancer invasion and metastasis which may be involved in upregu-lating PTEN protein and reducing cortactin protein. Imrecoxib could enhance the effect of lobaplatin chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Compound changpu yizhi decoction combined with nimodipine on clini-cal symptoms,cognitive function and cerebral blood flow velocity of patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI)after stroke, and its medication safety. METHODS:84 MCI patients after stroke in our hospital from Feb. 2012 to Oct. 2014 were selected as re-search objects and randomly divided into observation group and control group,42 cases in each group. All patients received basic preventive treatment;control group was additionally given Nimodipine tablet 30 mg,tid,po;based on it,observation group was given Compound changpu yizhi decoction,one dose a day,taking with warm water every morning and evening. They were treated for 3 months. Clinical symptoms of patients were compared by vascular dementia TCM syndrome table before and after treatment, mini-mental state examination(MMSE)was used to compare the cognitive function of patients before and after treatment,cerebral blood flow velocity before and after treatment and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in clinical symptom scores,cognitive function score and blood flow velocity of main artery between 2 groups(P>0.05). Clinical symptom scores of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while cognitive function and cerebral blood flow velocity were increased significantly;there was statistical significance,compared to before treatment (P<0.05). Memory scores,pain scores,complexion scores,tongue scores,pulse scores,additional scores and total scores in observa-tion group were obviously lower than control group;orientation ability scores,recall ability scores,language skills scores and com-prehensive cognitive function scores in observation group were obviously higher than control group;blood flow velocities of anteri-or cerebral artery,middle cerebral artery,posterior cerebral artery,vertebral artery and basilar artery in observation group were obvi-ously faster than control group,with statistical significances(P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in observation group and contral group were 11.90%and 9.52%,there was no statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound changpu yi-zhi decoction combined with nimodipine helps to relieve clinical symptoms of MCI patients after stroke,improve cerebral blood circulation and cognitive function,with good safety.
4.Investigation on Professional Cognition of Medical Students in Higher Vocational Colleges
Chinese Medical Ethics 2016;29(5):905-907
Objective:To investigate the status of professional cognition of the vocational medical students and educate the professional values for the vocational medical students. Method:A questionnaire survey was conducted among 360 vocational medical students. SPSS 16. 0 was used to analyze the data in the present study. Result:Vo-cational medical students have career pursuit and understand profession basic requirements. The students have pragmatic attitude, however, they have unobvious continued willingness to invest and haven 't form clear integral professional cognition. Conclusion: Professional values of the vocational medical students can be cultivate by strengthening ideal and belief, humanities accomplishment, medical professionalism, professional ideological edu-cation, internship and social practice.

IL-18, as a polyphonic cytokine, is important in immune response and physiologic function. We designed one pair of primers, amplified the porcine IL-18 gene fused with a C-terminal 6xHistidine tag, and then subcloned into the pFastBacDual of Baculovirus transfer vector and transformed into DH10Bac containing a shuttle vector of Bacmid. After co-transfecting the recombinant plasmid into insect cells, the 18 kDa expressed protein of porcine IL-18 was detected by SDS-PAGE; the specificity of expressed protein was confirmed by Western blotting. The purified porcine IL-18 protein induced obvious proliferation of porcine T lymphocytes in vitro, which indicated that the expression of IL-18 had high biological activity.
