ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of psoralen on the proliferation, invasion and migration of HTB-47 and CRL-1932 renal cancer cells cultured in vitro, and to further explore the internal mechanism of psoralen inhibiting renal cancer.Methods:The experimental group was HTB-47 and CRL-1932 renal cancer cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing 30 μg/ml psoralen, and the control group was renal cancer cells treated with dimethyl sulfoxide. Scratch test, CCK8, Transwell, and Western blot were used to detect the effect of psoralen on renal cancer cells.Results:Compared with the control group, the proliferation, invasion and migration of renal cancer cells treated with psoralen in the experimental group were significantly inhibited. In the renal cancer cells treated with psoralen, the protein expression levels of MKI67, PCNA, MMP2 and MMP9 were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Psoralen can significantly inhibit the proliferation, invasion and migration of HTB-47 and CRL-1932 renal cancer cells in vitro. The mechanism may be to inhibit the progression of renal cancer by regulating MKI67, PCNA, MMP2 and MMP9.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical effects of external application of late silkworm sand on peripheral neuropathy in diabetic (DPN) patients with cold coagulation blood stasis(CCBS).Methods:Sixty DPN patients with CCBS were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group(n=30, each group). Both groups were given routine treatment with mecobalamin, while the experimental group was treated with external application of silkworm sand additionally for 4 weeks.Improvements in brachial-ankle index(ABI)and foot vibration perception threshold(VPT)were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.Results:The left and right ABI values were increased and the VPT value was decreased in the two groups after treatment compared with before treatment values.The left and right ABI values were higher( t=6.690 and 8.355, both P=0.000)and the VPT values were lower( t=6.447 and 6.734, both P=0.000)in the experimental group than in the control group after treatment. Conclusions:External application of late silkworm sand can improve ABI and VPT with good safety in treating DPN patients with CCBS and should be promoted in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
Objective The application of nano-carbon tracer technique in radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) to treat malignant tumors of pancreatic body and tail.To investigate whether radical anterograde modulization of pancreatic body and tail combined with nano-carbon tracer technique is more beneficial to the prognosis of patients.Methods From January 2014 to September 2018,a retrospective analysis was performed in 48 patients in Linyi Central Hospital,all patients underwent RAMPS,all of whom were pathologically proved to be pancreatic carcinoma of the body and tail.Based on whether the nano-carbon lymph node tracer was performed during the operation,the patients were divided into two groups:nano-carbon group (nano-carbon lymph node tracing) and conventional operation group (no nano-carbon lymph node tracer).The differences between the two groups were analyzed,including operative time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative complications (pancreatic fistula),postoperative hospitalization time,postoperative pathological lymph node status (number of dissection,number of positive lymph nodes,the positive rate of lymph node black staining in nano-carbon group) and survival time after operation.The measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (Mean ± SD),t-test were used for comparison among groups;Chi-square test was used for comparison of counting data,and Kaplan-Meier test was used for comparison of survival rate.Results There was no significant difference in the time of operation [(4.45 ± 0.59) h vs (4.41 ±0.65) h],the amount of blood lost during operation [(447.39 ± 109.51) ml vs (434.8 ± 76.38) ml] and the time of hospitalization after operation [(16.52 ± 4.12) d vs (16.56 ±2.92) d] between the two groups (P＞0.05).There were 1 case of pancreatic fistula in the nano-carbon group and 2 cases of pancreatic fistula in the convertional operation group,but the difference was not statistically significant (P =0.55).The number of lymph nodes dissected and positive lymph nodes in nano-carbon group were significantly higher than those in conventional operation group [(18.26 ± 2.49) vs (12.16 ± 2.19);(5.52 ± 1.50) vs (3.32 ± 0.85).The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The positive rate of lymph nodes in black stained lymph nodes (38.10％,96/252) was significantly higher than that in non-stained lymph nodes (18.45％,31/168),and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The average survival time in the nano-carbon group [(25.48 ± 11.74) months] was significantly longer than that in the conventional operation group [(15.80 ± 11.64) months],and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions It is safe,effective and feasible to treat malignant tumors of pancreatic body and tail by RAMPS combined with nano-carbon tracer technique.The positive rate of lymph node dissection and the detection rate of total lymph nodes are increased,and the prognosis of patients is improved,to improve the survival time of patients after operation is improved.
