Effects of SP600125 on Proliferation and Invasion of Human Cervical Cancer HeLa Cells / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To investigate the effect of SP600125 on the proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and invasion of human cervical cancer HeLa cells. Methods CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation of HeLa cells treated with different concentrations of SP600125 at different time points. The 20 μmol/L of SP600125 was determined for subsequent experiments. Cell proliferation ability was detected using plate clone formation assay; nuclear morphology was observed by DAPI staining; cell cycle and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry; cell migration and invasion were detected by cell scratch and Transwell methods; the mRNA and protein levels of p53, Mad2L1 and CDC20 were measured by qRT-PCR and Western blot after SP600125 treatment at different time points. Results Compared with control group (0.1%DMSO), cells proliferative activity were reduced by 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 μmol/L SP600125 treatment for 24h. Compared with control group, the rate of apoptosis was significantly increased in SP600125 treatment groups, and the cell proportion in G2/M phase increased (P < 0.001), while the cell proportion in G0/G1 phases cells was reduced after SP600125 treatment for 24h and 48h (P < 0.001), and the clonal number, migration and invasion ability of HeLa cells also decreased significantly (P < 0.001). qRT-PCR and Western blot results showed a significant decrease in Mad2L1 mRNA and protein expression (P < 0.05) and a significant increase in p53 and CDC20 mRNA and protein expression (P < 0.01). Conclusion SP600125 can induce cell cycle arrest of cervical cancer HeLa cells in G2/M phase by upregulating p53 and CDC20 and downregulating Mad2L1 expression, and promote cell apoptosis to inhibit cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

Adult nasal metal foreign bodies: 2 cases report / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

To analysis the data of 2 patients who had nasal metal foreign bodies after the pressure cooker explosion, the main clinical symptoms include head facial swelling after trauma, nose bleeding, or vision loss, etc. Specialized examination: facial swelling, the left eye content of one patient has been removed, the other patient's right side of the nasal dorsal skin was missing, which diameter was about 1.5 cm, and nasal cavity was interlinked. We could see that metal foreign bodies blocked the bilateral nasal cavity of the two patients. And emergency CT examination showed that most of the nasal cavity reserved for high-density foreign body. Two patients were diagnosed: (1) metal foreign bodies after nasal trauma; (2) nose bleeding.

Intratumoral Heterogeneity of Breast Cancer Xenograft Models: Texture Analysis of Diffusion-Weighted MR Imaging

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether there is a relationship between texture analysis parameters of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps and histopathologic features of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 xenograft models. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MCF-7 estradiol (+), MCF-7 estradiol (-), and MDA-MB-231 xenograft models were made with approval of the animal care committee. Twelve tumors of MCF-7 estradiol (+), 9 tumors of MCF-7 estradiol (-), and 6 tumors in MDA-MB-231 were included. Diffusion-weighted MR images were obtained on a 9.4-T system. An analysis of the first and second order texture analysis of ADC maps was performed. The texture analysis parameters and histopathologic features were compared among these groups by the analysis of variance test. Correlations between texture parameters and histopathologic features were analyzed. We also evaluated the intraobserver agreement in assessing the texture parameters. RESULTS: MCF-7 estradiol (+) showed a higher standard deviation, maximum, skewness, and kurtosis of ADC values than MCF-7 estradiol (-) and MDA-MB-231 (p < 0.01 for all). The contrast of the MCF-7 groups was higher than that of the MDA-MB-231 (p = 0.004). The correlation (COR) of the texture analysis of MCF-7 groups was lower than that of MDA-MB-231 (p < 0.001). The histopathologic analysis showed that Ki-67mean and Ki-67diff of MCF-7 estradiol (+) were higher than that of MCF-7 estradiol (-) or MDA-MB-231 (p < 0.05). The microvessel density (MVD)mean and MVDdiff of MDA-MB-231 were higher than those of MCF-7 groups (p < 0.001). A diffuse-multifocal necrosis was more frequently found in MDA-MB-231 (p < 0.001). The proportion of necrosis moderately correlated with the contrast (r = -0.438, p = 0.022) and strongly with COR (r = 0.540, p = 0.004). Standard deviation (r = 0.622, r = 0.437), skewness (r = 0.404, r = 0.484), and kurtosis (r = 0.408, r = 0.452) correlated with Ki-67mean and Ki-67diff (p < 0.05 for all). COR moderately correlated with Ki-67diff (r = -0.388, p = 0.045). Skewness (r = -0.643, r = -0.464), kurtosis (r = -0.581, r = -0.389), contrast (r = -0.473, r = -0.549) and COR (r = 0.588, r = 0.580) correlated with MVDmean and MVDdiff (p < 0.05 for all). CONCLUSION: The texture analysis of ADC maps may help to determine the intratumoral spatial heterogeneity of necrosis patterns, amount of cellular proliferation and the vascularity in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 xenograft breast cancer models.

EVALUATION OF THE EFFECT OF APPLYING CORE COMPETENCE TRAINING FOR GRADING NURSING IN ICU / 现代医院

Objective To investigate the effect of applying core competence training for grading nursing in ICU.Methods The nurses in ICU were divided into high qualification nurses group and low qualification nurses group according to professional ability;make clear the post responsibility, clinical educational training and management were performed according to grades.The nursing department and head nurse evaluated the training;the scores were analyzed and fed back.Results After applying core competence training for grading nursing the satisfaction of patients and nurses and the operational standard-reaching rate were significantly higher (p<0.05).Conclusion The core competence training for grading nursing could give full play to nurses at all levels, provide basis and ladder of sustainable development for nurse's career, deserve the clinical expansion.
