ABSTRACT
Recent studies have found that in the development of epilepsy, cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB) may cause recurrent epilepsy by inhibiting the expression of γ-aminobutyric acid, resulting in neuron damage and weakened effect of antiepileptic drug targets. Antiepileptic drugs can not control the extent or frequency of seizures, and then the patients are in a persistent state, hence the development of drug-resistant epilepsy. Therefore, the mechanism of CREB leading to drug-resistant epilepsy was reviewed in this paper, hoping to provide ideas for the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy patients.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the expression and the relativity of PMS2,Akt1 and P-AktS473 protein in A2780,Caov3,C13* and ES2 ovarian cancer cell lines .Methods The expression of PMS2 ,Akt1 and P-Akt S473 protein in A2780 ,Caov3 ,C13*and ES2 ovarian cancer cells was detected by Western Blot .After treated with IGF-1 (Akt1 activator) and API-2 (specific Akt1 in-hibitor) ,Caov3 ,ES2 and A2780 cells were collected and the level of PMS2 was detected by Western Blot .Results PMS2 ,Akt1 and P-Akt S473 proteins were detected in all of the four ovarian cancer cell lines with varied expression levels ,and the activity of Akt1 was inversely related to PMS2 expression in ovarian cancer cells .Exposed to Akt kinase stimulator IGF-1 ,ES2 and Caov3 cells were detected with a dramatically PMS2 decreasing .Meanwhile ,the decreasing of PMS2 protein was time-dependent on IGF-1 .Treated with API-2 ,Akt kinase specific inhibitor ,A2780 was detected with PMS2 dramatically increasing ,and the increasing of PMS2 pro-tein was time-dependent on API-2 .Conclusion In ovarian cancer cells ,PMS2 expression could be directly regulated by activated Akt1 .
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the efficacies of several commonly-used penetrating needling methods in treating post-stroke strephenopodia. Method Eighty-three patients with post-stroke strephenopodia were randomized into four groups, a control group intervened by conventional needling method (n=20), and the rest three groups were additionally intervened by different penetrating needling methods: penetrating group 1 [Qiuxu (GB40) towards Zhaohai (KI6), n=21], penetrating group 2 [Taibai (SP3) towards Shugu (BL65), n=21], and penetrating group 3 [Jiaoxin (KI8) towards Fuyang (BL59), n=21], to compare their effects on the function of ankle and lower extremity. Result The penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method all can significantly improve the function of ankle in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia (P 0.05). The penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method all can significantly improve the motor function of lower extremity in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia (P0.05). Conclusion Needling from Qiuxu towards Zhaohai and from Taibai towards Shugu can produce significant effects in improving ankle function and the motor function of lower extremity in patients with post-stroke strephenopodia, while needling from Jiaoxin to Fuyang doesn’t have notable advantage compared to the other penetrating needling methods and conventional needling method.
