ABSTRACT
The paper presented the implementation of the healthcare reform policy and initial success of Xinyu TCM Hospital in its reform pilot work of public hospital reform in Xinyu city ,Jiangxi province. The authors also analyzed problems and causes of the hospital in business development and cost control during the reform ,proposing to carry out TCM development policy ,enhance government investment ,streamline TCM service pricing ,and innovate TCM supporting model. In addition ,they also proposed TCM hospitals to enhance management ,and reform their mechanism to resolve such problems as high operating costs ,and poor talent development and lack of feature disciplines .
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of different concentrations of realgar on the apoptosis of gastric adenocarcinoma cell Line SGC-7901. Methods MTT assay was conducted to detect the growth inhibition ratio of SGC-7901 cells treated by different concentrations of realgar (0,10,20,50 and 80 μg·mL-1 ). AnnexinⅤ/ Propidium iodide double staining method together with flow cytometry were used to detect the effect of realgar at 0,20,50 and 80 μg·mL-1 on the apoptosis of SGC-7901 cells. Results The growth inhibition ratio of SGC-7901 cells by various concentrations of high-purity realgar (10,20,50 and 80 μg·mL-1 ) was 6. 15% ,7. 54% ,42. 31% and 63. 54% ,respectively,24 h after realgar treatment. At 48 h after the treatment,the growth inhibition ratio rose to 32. 56% ,46. 14% ,64. 51% and 87. 52% ,respectively (P0. 05). Conclusion High purity realgar can inhibit the proliferation and induce early apoptosis of gastric adenocarcinoma SGC-7901 cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of peptide-binding domain (PBD) of heat shock protein (HSP) 72 on epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rat renal tubular epithelial cells.Methods The expressions of wild-type HSP72,mutant of HSP72 lacking peptide binding domain (HSP72-△PBD) and HSP72-PBD were induced by plasmid transfection.NRK-52E ceils were stimulated by TGF-β1 for 48 h.The expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),E-cadherin,HSP72 and Smad3/p-Smad3 were detected by Western blot and immunofluorescence.Results After NRK-52E cells were stimulated by TGF-β 1 (10 μg/L) for 48 h,the expression of α-SMA was increased and the protein level of E-cadherin was decreased.Western blotting and immunofluorescence showed that over-expression of both HSP72 and PBD inhibited TGF-β1-induced up-regulation of protein α-SMA expression,down-regulation of protein E-cadherin.However,overexpression of HSP72-△PBD did not change the protein level of E-cadherin and α-SMA.In addition,over-expression of HSP72 and PBD significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of Smad3.Conclusion Inhibition of Smad3 activation and EMT by HSP72 is associated with the function of PBD.
