ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of DCAG regimen for treating the intermediate or high risk MDS and AML.@*METHODS@#PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of decitabine combined with CAG regimen for intermediate or high risk MDS and AML from inception to March, 2018. The quality of each RCT was evaluated by the Cochrane collaboration´s tool for assessing the risk of bias.Then, the data were analyzed by using RevMan 5.3.@*RESULTS@#Twenty-four RCTs were included in the meta-analysis, containing 1 557 patients with intermediate or high-risk MDS and AML, of whom 594 were AML patients and 590 were MDS patients. The patients treated with the DCAG regimen were enrolled in DCAG group, and the patients treated with single-agent decitabine or CAG regimen were enrolled in control group.@*RESULTS@#The results of meta-analysis showed that compared with other therapies, the complete remission rate of DCAG regimen in patients with intermediate or high-risk MDS and AML was high (RR=1.63,95% CI=1.43-1.85,P<0.000 01), and the overall response rate was also high (RR=1. 35,95% CI=1.24-1.46,P<0.000 01); Subgroup analysis results showed that DCAG regimen was better than CAG regimen in the complete remission rate (RR=1.71,95% CI=1.49-1.97,P<0.000 01), and slightly better than single-agent decitabine group (RR=1.43,95% CI=1.08-1.91,P=0.01). In terms of adverse reactions, there was no statistically significant difference in the rates of myelosuppression, pulmonary infection, gastrointestinal reactions, and bleeding events between the 2 groups (P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#DCAG regimen has significant efficacy in the treatment of intermediate or high-risk MDS and AML, and is superior to CAG regimen and single-agent dicitabine regimen. As compared with control group, there was no significant difference in adverse events. Due to limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify above mentioned conclusion.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the abnormal expression of interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the effect of IFITM3 knock-down on the biological behaviors of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical staining were used to determine the expression of IFITM3 protein in 60 HCC samples and paired adjacent tissues. A small interfering RNA fragments of IFITM3 (IFITM3 siRNA) was transiently transfected into HepG2 cells and expressions of IFITM3 at mRNA and protein levels were examined by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. The changes in the proliferation of the transfected cells were determined using cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) assay, and the cell invasion and migration were tested using Transwell assay and wound-healing assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the adjacent tissues, HCC tissues expressed significantly higher levels of IFITM3. In HepG2 cells, transfection with IFITM3 siRNA resulted in significant down-regulation of IFITM3 expression at both the protein and mRNA levels and obviously suppressed cell proliferation, invasion, and migration ability as compared with the cells transfected with scrambled siRNA and control cells (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>IFITM3, which is overexpressed in HCC, plays a vital role in the proliferation and invasion of HCC cells and may serve as a potential target for gene therapy of HCC.</p>

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the antibacterial molecular mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicine Coptis rhizome against Yersinia pestis(Y.pestis).Methods The method based on whole genome DNA micrnarray of Y.pestis was used.The minimal inhibition concentration(MIC)of berberine to Y.pestis was determined with liquid dilution method.Then gene expression profile of Y.pestis was performed after exposed to berberine at the concentration of 10×MIC for 30 minutes.Total RNA extracted and purified from Y.pestis and reverse-transcribed to cDNA,then labeled by Cy-dye.Finally,the labeled probes were hybridized to the microarray and the results were obtained by a laser scanner and analyzed by the SAM software.Results The gene expression profile data revealed that the response of Y.pestis to berberine was a global phenomenon.A total of 360 genes changed significantly.Among them,333 genes were up-regulated,27 down-regulated.These differentially expressed genes were further classified into 24 different functional categories based on the genomie annotation of Y.pestis CO92,in which the number of mainly related genes were 83,75 and 48,including cell envelop,unkown,transport/binding proteins functions.The 40 genes related to the metabolism were upregulated,which was a remarkable change.Conclusion Our results have revealed the general gene expression changes of Y.pestis in response to berberine and demonstrated the antibacterial molecular mechanism of the Coptis rhizome.The major mechanism of Y.pestis in response to berberine is the upregulation of genes related to the metabolism.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the blood pressure change in relation to the evolution of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Methods From 1986 to 1992, 334 subjects with IGT were randomized to placebo, diet, exercise and diet plus exercise intervention groups. No anti-hypertension drug was given to these enrolled subjects. Blood pressure was measured at the beginning and the end of the six-year prospective study. In this analysis these subjects were stratified to seven subgroups based on 2 h plasma glucose (2hPG) level during OGTT at the end of the study: < 7.8,7.8~8.8,8.9~9.9,10.0~11.0,11.1~13.8,13.9~16.6 and≥16.7mmol/L. Blood pressure changes in relation to the evolution of glucose tolerance in these subgroups were compared by least square mean procedure. Results Changes of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in average in these seven groups were -2.4,0.6,7.7,4.3,1.7,-2.9and-6.9mm Hg (1mm Hg=0.133kPa), and changes of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were-3.2,3.0,3.3,1.7,-0.7,-1.3 and-3.7mm Hg respectively after controlling for age, sex, BMI at baseline and Δ BMI during the follow-up period. In those subjects with IGT evolved into normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or diabetes, reductions in SBP and DBP were significantly greater than those who retained IGT with 2hPG between 8.9-9.9mmol/L (all P < 0.05 ). In 264 out of the 334 subjects with IGT and blood pressure≥130/80mm Hg at baseline, blood pressure changed more strikingly: changes of SBP in these groups were-5.2,-2.6,5.2,2.3,-2.3,-4.2,-7.6mm Hg, and DBP were -5.0, -3.7,1.5, -2.9, -4.3, - 4.0 and-6.0mm Hg respectively after the adjustment of age, sex, BMI, BMI variation. The reductions of SBP and DBP in subjects whose status of IGT was converted to NGT or diabetes were significantly greater than those with retained IGT and 2hPG between 8.9-9.9mmol/L. Conclusion Blood pressure is increased in the subjects with IGT who retained in the IGT group during the six-year follow-up period in Da-Qing Study. On the contrary, subjects with IGT evolved into NGT or diabetes demonstrate significant reduction of blood pressure.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the association between hypertension and the tendency of change among children,so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of hypertension.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Based on findings from the prevalence survey that carried out in September 1999 in Daqing of Heilongjiang province. New admission children were selected as subjects to conduct a five-year cohort study. All the subjects were interviewed with questionnaires and their blood specimens were collected for biochemical analysis. All data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0 software. Results The prevalence of hypertension among 447 children was found 2.01% at the baseline study but increased to 5.37% in the fifth year. During a five year period, the systolic pressure level among children increased from (100.65 +/- 11.62)mmHg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) to (106.67 +/- 9.29) mm Hg,while the diastolic pressure level was from (66.27 +/- 11.31) mm Hg to (70.28 +/- 7.98) mm Hg and showed significant difference between boys and girls. There were association between hypertension and family history, body mass index (BMI), triglyceride, insulin, insulin resistance index while insulin sensitivity index and family history, BMI and insulin sensitivity index appeared to be the important factors. Children under this study were divided to 'with family history or without' and then every group was divided to 'with over weight-obesity or normal'. Obesity and insulin sensitivity seemed the key risk factors on hypertension. Descent of insulin sensitivity was an independent risk factor.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The level of blood tension among children in Daqing city was higher than that from the national data. The present study confirmed that over-weight,obesity, heredity and insulin resistance were the risk factors of hypertension while insulin resistance was related to hypertension. The interaction of these risk factors was independent or correlated to each other.</p>
