Objective:To investigate the effects of baicalein combined with 5-FU on the proliferation, apoptosis and migration of small cell lung cancer H466 cells, and further to explore its sensitization mechanism.Methods:H466 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into blank control group, baicalein single treatment group, 5-FU single treatment group and combined treatment group. CCK-8 experiment was used to detect cell survival rate in each group; Flow cytometry was used to detect cell apoptosis and changes in ROS levels; Western blot was used to detect changes in the protein expression of the MAPK pathway.Results:CCK-8 results showed that the survival rates of the four groups of cells after 24 h treatment were 114.3% ± 2.8%, 79.8% ± 3.4%, 57.6% ± 1.8%, and 40.3% ± 2.7%. Compared with the other three groups, the combined treatment group had stronger inhibitory effect on the proliferation of H446 cells, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) . The proportion of apoptotic H446 cells in the combined treatment group was 49.2%±3.8%, which was significantly different from 33.9%±4.3% in the 5-FU single treatment group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001) . The inhibition rate of H446 cell migration in the combined treatment group was higher than that in the 5-FU single treatment group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.001) . Combined treatment of baicalein and 5-FU can up-regulate ROS levels in H446 cells, thereby regulating the MAPK signaling pathway. Conclusion:The combined use of baicalein and 5-FU can increase the level of ROS in lung cancer H446 cells, activate the JNK and p38 signaling pathways, inhibit the ERK signaling pathway, and enhance 5-FU's proliferation inhibition, apoptosis induction and migration inhibition effects on H446 cells, which provides a certain experimental basis for the application of baicalein in small cell lung cancer.

Older adults have decreased control of body balance with aging and are prone to fall. As the primary point of contact between human body and ground, footwear is critical for stability of older adults. The relationship between shoe characteristics and stability of older adults was systematically reviewed to determine the effect of footwear characteristics on stability of older adults. The results show that wearing shoes with shoelaces or velcro, low heels, wide outsole and appropriate soles, or using vibrating insoles and arch support insoles can help older adults improve their stability. Excessive sole spring and low sole hardness may have adverse effects on stability of older adults. This study can provide theoretical references for older adults to choose shoes reasonably and for the manufacturers to design and make shoes to prevent falls.

Objective:To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen（HBO）combined with vinorelbine（NVB）on the sensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells，and to explore its mechanism.Methods:After the completion of culture，A549 cells were divided into four groups：blank group，HBO group，NVB group，and HBO+NVB group，with no treatment，0.2 MPa HBO treatment，IC 50 NVB treatment，and 0.2 MPa HBO + IC 50 NVB treatment，respectively. Cell Counting Kit-8（CCK-8）assay was used to detect the cell prolife-ration. Flow cytometry was adopted to detect cell apoptosis. Transwell experiment was used to detect cell migration. And Western blotting was used to detect the expression changes of A549 cell-related proteins. Results:The IC 50 value of NVB on A549 cells was 13.68 μmol/L. The inhibitory rates were 0，4.1%，46.60%，and 68.40% in the blank，HBO，NVB，and HBO+NVB groups，respectively，and the rate in the HBO+NVB group was significantly higher than those in the other three groups（ P<0.05 or P<0.01）. The apoptotic rates were 3.99%，7.63%，36.92%，and 56.49% in the blank，HBO，NVB，and HBO+NVB groups，respectively，and the rate in the HBO+NVB group was significantly higher than those in the other three groups（ P<0.05 or P<0.01）. Compared with the other three groups，the expression level of Bcl-2 in A549 cells in the HBO+NVB group was decreased，while the expression levels of Bad and Caspase-3 were increased（ P<0.01）. The percentages of cells inhibited from migrating in each group were 0，8.90%，42.20%，and 59.40%，respectively，and the HBO+NVB group had the lowest cell migration rate compared with the other three groups（ P<0.05 or P<0.01）. Compared with the other three groups，the expression level of E-Cadherin in the HBO+NVB group was increased，while the expression levels of N-Cadherin，P-glycoprotein（P-gp），and Multidrug resistance protein（MRP）were significantly decreased（ P<0.01）. Conclusion:HBO can increase the sensitivity of A549 cells to NVB by regulating the proteins related to drug resistance，cell migration，and cell apoptosis.

Background and objectiveRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) has become one of the local treatment for inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). hTis study observes effectiveness and safety of computed tomog-raphy (CT) guided RFA followed intratumoral chemotherapy (RFA-ITC).MethodsFrom 2005 to 2015, our group perspec-tively enrolled inoperable early stage NSCLC underwent RFA-ITC duo to poor cardiopulmonary function or with other dis-eases or patient can't tolerate or reject surgery. RFA was performed by a directive apparatus assisted CT guided semi real-time and step-by-step puncture method, conformal umbrella-shaped electrode and single or multiple targets ablation. While the plan ifnished and CT showed normal lung tissue around the tumor present ground-glass opacity (GGO), the procedure ended, then 200 mg of carboplatinum were injected into the tumor via the electrode needle. Safety and effectiveness were evaluated byfollow-up.Results Technical success rates of 125 RFA-ITC treatments of 110 patients were 100%. hTe median survival was 48.0 months, overall survival (OS) was 55.4 months, progression-free survival was 55.1 months, 1, 2, 3, 5-year OS rates were 100%, 90.7%, 62.7%, 21.9%, respectively. Survival of GGO presence or not was 68.3 months and 40.1 months, respectively (P=0.001). hTe survival rates of the N1 staging and tumor size was no signiifcant difference. No perioperative deaths occurred, the main complicationsi.e. pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage, pleural effusion, fever, intraoperative chest pain, subcuta-neous emphysema, intraoperative cough were slight and tolerable.ConclusionCT guided RFA-ITC provides a good method for treatment of inoperable early stage NSCLC with better survival, less complication and small damage.
