Effects and mechanisms of a novel chalcone analogue-H175 on inducing colon cancer cells' apoptosis / 中华普通外科杂志

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor activity of a novel chalcone analogue-H175.Methods We synthesized chalcone analogues and further tested the cytotoxicity on colon cancer cell line (CT26) through MTT method,and identified H175 with powerful biological activity.Flow cytometry was used to assay the ability of H175 to induce CT26's apoptosis and inhibit its cell cycle.Western blot was used to detect the effect of H175 on ATF4 and CHOP expression in CT26.After knockdown CHOP by siRNA technology,further investigate the influence of H175 on cell's apoptosis through immunofluorescence (IF) and FCM.Results H175 inhibits the proliferation of CT26 (ICs0 =1.9 μmol/L),by inducing CT26's apoptosis inhibiting its cell cycle,on a dose-dependent manner of key protein CHOP of endocytoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) signal path.siRNA technology confirmed H175 induce apoptosis by stimulating the CHOP over-expression.Conclusions Novel chalcone analogue-H175 show inhibitory effects on the proliferation of CT26 by activating the ERS signal path's key protein CHOP.

Effects of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on mRNA and protein expression of toll like receptor of rat alveolus macrophages / 中华创伤杂志

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on gene and protein expression of toll-like receptor, TLR2/4 of the rat alveolus macrophages so as to discuss the effect of MSCs transplantation on the early inflammatory mediators and the regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory cascade.MethodsThe alveolus macrophages were randomly divided into the PBS control group (n = 24), MSCs control group (n = 24), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) control group (n=24) and LPS + MSCs treatment group (n =24).All groups were taken time-points of 1, 3,6, 12 hours.Positive cell rate of MSCs with surface mark and the expression level of TLR2/4 protein on macrophage were detected by flow cytometry.The mRNA level of TLR2/4 expression on macrophage was detected by RT-PCR and the concentrations of TNF-o in cell culture supernatants by ELISA at the different time points.ResultsCompared with the PBS control group and MSCs control group, TLR2/4 mRNA and protein levels were significantly up-regulated, markedly increased at one hour and peaked at 12 hours (P ＜0.01) and the TNF-α concentrations in cell culture supernatants were significantly up-regulated and peaked at 6 hours in the LPS control group (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with the LPS control group, mRNA and protein level of TLR2/4 and TNF-o concentrations in the cell culture supernatants of the LPS + MSCs group were markedly down-regulated (P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionsWith LPS stimulation, TLR2/4 mRNA and protein expressions as well as TNF-αt concentration increase, when the peak of the TNF-αt concentration appears slightly earlier, indicating that there may be a positive feedback loop between TLR2/4 expression and TNF-ot.MSCs can significantly reduce TLR2/4 mRNA and protein expressions as well as TNF-α concentration after LPS stimulation, indicating that MSCs can break up the positive feedback loop.

Effect of down-regulation of GAT-1 on analgesic action of oxysophoridine / 中国中药杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the effect of GABA transporter (GAT-1) on the analgesic action of oxysophoridine (OSR) in the central nervous system of mice.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Hot plate test was used to observe and analyze the effect of gamma aminobutyric acid and the inhibitor of GAT-1 (NO-711) on the analgesic action of oxysophoridine. Real time RT-PCR was used to investigate the influence of OSR on the expression of GAT-1 mRNA induced by formalin in spinal cord and brain of mice.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Both GABA (2.0 mg x kg(-1), icv) and NO-711(0.125 mg x kg(-1), icv) enhanced the analgesic action of OSR (32.0 mg x kg(-1), iv) in the hot plate test, and the latencies was markedly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). OSR (500.0 mg x kg(-1), iv) significantly inhibited the expression of GAT-1 mRNA induced by formalin (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>GAT-1 was involved in the analgesia effect of OSR and the down-regulation of GAT-1 mRNA enhanced the analgesic effect.</p>

Integrative treatment of multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center (with 148 cases report) / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To explore the significance and important measure of integrative treatment of multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center. Methods One hundred and forty-eight multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury in emergency center from November 2002 to February 2006 were analysed retrospectively. Result In total 148 cases, 72 were cured and 26 dead, 7 were in status of plant man, 17 experienced severe deformity, and 26 did mild deformity. Conclusion Multiple trauma patients with severe craniocerebral injury usually experience a serious situation and rapid development. Therefore emergency doctors are required for organizing salvage of such patients, at the same time treatment and diagnosis are implemented. Firstly the most important key to successful salvage is appropriate disposal of fatal injury and early elimination of shock. Proper surgical choice, especially at the first time, inspection and protection of visceral functions, and attention to nutritional support are other vital methods to gain more successful salvage. ICU is also emphasized for its essentiality.

The analgesic action of oxysophoridine and its effect on the expression of PKC? in central nervous system of mice / 中国药理学通报

Aim To study the analgesic action of oxysophoridine and its effect on the expression of protein kinase C?(PKC?) in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice.Methods Hot plate test was used to observe and analyze the analgesic strength and action position of OSR through iv and icv approaches,immunohistochemistry(SABC) was taken to inspect the expression of PKC? in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice after administrating OSR.Results The foot-licking latencies of mice were prolonged both iv OSR(500、250、125 mg?kg-1)and icv OSR(100,50,25 mg?kg-1)in the hot plate test(P
