ABSTRACT
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate the role of sulindac in sensitization effects of NF-κB on apoptosis induced by TNF-α in human breast cancer.Methods The human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line was added sulindal in the logarithmic growth phase and the final concentrations of sulindac were 0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L.The cells in control group was cultured without adding succinic acid.After sulindac treatment for 48 h,flow cytometry,MTT and Western blotting were used to analyze the effect and mechanism of cell growth in MCF-7 cells.Results The inhibitory rate of cell proliferation was(29.17±1.23)% and(38.15±1.51)% in MCF-7 cells treated with 0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L of Sulindac for 48 h,respectively,when compared to the control group(1.15 ± 0.02)%(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,0.5 and 1.0 mmol/L of sulindac were significantly increased the G0/G1 phase in MCF-7 cells(P<0.05).The apoptosis rate of sulindac in MCF-7 cells was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05).The expression levels of TNF-α were(2.09±0.67)% and(1.18±0.09)% in the concentrations of 0.5 and 1.0mmol/L sulindac,respectively,in MCF-7 cells when compared to the control group(7.42±0.56)%.Conclusion Sulindac has a certain effect on the growth of human breast cancer cells,which can promote the prolongation of cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase and improve sensitization of apoptosis.This mechanism may be related to the inhibition of TNF-α activity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical effects and the quality of life of flupentixol-melitracen or paroxetine hydrochloride in treatment of the breast cancer patients with anxiety and depression after chemotherapy.Methods 135 breast cancer patients with anxiety and depression after chemotherapy were selected from November 2012 to January 2014 in the hospital.They were randomly divided into the treatment group ( n=68 ) and control group ( n =67 ).The control group were treated by paroxetine hydrochloride treatment, and the treatment group were treated by flupentixol-melitracen.The anxiety, depression and its impact on quality of life of patients were observed between two groups.Results After treatment, the HAMD score and HAMA score decreased significantly in two groups (P<0.05), HAMD score and HAMA score in treatment group after treatment significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.05).After treatment, the WHOQOL-BREF score of mental health status scale of subjective feeling, the physiological domain, domain score levels in treatment group significantly increased (P<0.05), however, the quality of life of subjective feeling, social relationship and environment domains showed no significant difference.Compared with pre-treatment, only the health status of subjective feeling levels in control group post-treatment significantly increased (P<0.05).The mental health status scale of subjective feeling, the physiological domain, domain score levels in treatment group significantly decreased compared with control group ( P<0.05 ).The adverse reactions of treatment group were 5 cases (7.35%), which was significantly lower than 24 cases (35.82%) of control group(χ2 =16.22,P <0.05).Conclusion Flupentixol-melitracen combined with paroxetine hydrochloride has an obvious clinical effect in treatment of anxiety and depression in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy.It could effectively control their anxiety and depression, and improve the quality of life of patients.It is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore clinical effect and life quality study of Shenyi capsule combined with docetaxel and cisplatin in treatment of advanced breast cancer.Methods 135 cases of advanced breast cancer of Huangshi Central Hospital were collected and diagnosed from July 2013 to December 2014 in accordance with the random number table,were divided into treatment group(n=69) and control group(n=66).Both groups were given regular basis treatment, control group was treated by docetaxel(75 mg/m2,twice a day)and cisplatin(25 mg/m2,once a day), and treatment group combined with Shenyi capsule(20 mg,twice a day)on the basis of control group treatment.4 weeks were 1 course, and all the cases were taken 12 weeks of continuous treatment.Observed and compared the clinical efficiency and life quality of two groups.Results The remission rate of 63.77% in treatment group was higher than control group of 40.91%, difference was statistically significant(χ2 =7.070,P=0.008).After treatment, the SF-36 scale in treatment group significantly increased from ( 54.69 ±8.78 ) to ( 63.87 ±12.08 ) , and higher than that of control group ( 57.95 ±11.95 ) , differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The adverse reactions in treatment group was lower than control group, difference was statistically significant(Z=2.858,P =0.000).Conclusion The clinical effect in treatment of advanced breast canceris obvious by Shenyi capsule combined docetaxel and cisplatin.It can significantly improve clinical effect and life quality.
ABSTRACT
Objecitve To study the inhibitory effect of pioglitazone on inflammation factors in patients with bladder cancer. Methods A total of 100 consecutives diagnosed as bladder cancer from Februray 2013 to Februray 2014 were individed ran-domly into experiment and control groups and each of 50 cases.All patients received the appropriate operation or chemother-apeutic regimens,and the patients in experiment group received pioglitazone (15 mg/d×12 weeks)at the same time.Then to compare expression differences of high-sensitive C reactive protein (hs-CRP),tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha),in-terleukin (IL-6)and HOMA-IR,MCP-1,MIP-1 levels.Results The levels of hs-CRP,TNF-αand IL-6 in the two groups af-ter treatment were all lower (P 0.05).Conclusion Pioglitazone could improve clinical effect and prognosis by lowing inflam-mation factors including hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6,HOMA-IR,MCP-1 and MIP-1 in patients with bladder cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To assess the role of E-cadherin (CDH1) promoter methylation in bladder carcinogenesis by meta-analysis. Methods The relevant database were searched by the retrieval strategy of Cochrane network. All included studies were collected following data:the first author’s surname, publication year of article, country, language of publication, design of study, sample size, ethnicity, histological subtypes, methylation detection method and genotype frequencies etc. This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 12.0 software. The crude odds ratio (OR) with 95%confidence interval (CI) was calculated. Results Ten case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis. The methylation frequency of CDH1 was detected in 620 bladder cancer tissues and 341 normal or cancerous tissues. Results showed that the methylation frequency of CDH1 was significantly higher in bladder cancer tissue than that of normal or cancerous tissue (OR=3.09, 95%CI:1.13~8.50, P=0.029). Furthermore, the ethnicity-stratified analysis revealed that the methylation frequency of CDH1 was significantly higher in bladder cancer tissue of Asian populations than that of normal or cancerous tissue (OR=3.85, 95%CI:1.46~10.14, P=0.006), but no such association was found in Caucasian populations(OR=2.22, 95%CI:0.38-12.91, P=0.375). The subgroup analysis based on the detection methods revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in the methylation frequency of CDH1 between bladder cancer tissue and adjacent tissues and normal tissues under the MSP subgroup (P<0.001), while such association was not observed under the Q-MSP subgroup (P=0.818). Conclusion Pro?moter methylation of CDH1 gene may be involved in the occurrence and development of bladder cancer, which may serve as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer.
