ABSTRACT
Objective To invstigate the effect of ultrasound microbubble mediated miRNA delivery on mi-gration,invasion and cloning ability of human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Methods The migration,invasion and col-ony forming ability of HepG2 cells were measured after transfection with antisense miRNA-21/221 and miRNA-199a mimic via the optimal ultrasound microbubble transfection method. Results Compared with the control group ,the migration ,invasion and cloning ability of cells were significantly inhibited after transfection with miRNA mimics(P < 0.05,respectively),especially for miR-199a(relative cell migration rate was 31.05%,the number of invasive cells were 38.67 ± 4.51 and the number of clones were 105.67 ± 5.86). Conclusion The pres-ent study may provide new ideas and clues for gene therapy and prognosis of hepatocell ular carcinoma through ana-lyzing the effect of miRNAs on the biological characteristics of human hepatoma HepG2 cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective Based on scientific research grants to explore the feasibility of analyzing the subiect's hot topics. Methotis The CRISP(Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects)database of National Institutes of Health was used to retrieve the grants related of gene mechanism of essential hypertension in 2006. We obtained concepts from the fields of title and abstract by MetaMap. and then analyzed the key concepts about genes that were found more than 3 times. Results There were 73 related grants about that from CRISP in 2006. After processing the samples by MetaMap, we got 45 high frequency concepts about genes. which were divided into seven groups. Conclusions It iS feasible to analyze and study subject hotspot by scientific research grants. and it can be used to the supplement of normal literature analysis. MetaMap is a better tool for natural language processing, but also has some limitations.
ABSTRACT
Objective To find a simple and effective way for pericardial effusion.Methods Arterial sheath were applied to patients with pericardial effusion when pericardium puncture were performed,and negative pressure drainage bag were connected and aspirated interruptively to no aspiration.1～2 days later,arterial sheath were drawn out.Results 40 cases of pericardial effusion were effectively cured by this method,and clinical effective rate was 100%,and no complication associated with arterial sheath placement was observed.Conclusion Arterial sheath placement is an effective,safe and convenient method for the treatment for pericardial effusion.This method can be routinely applied to pericardial effusion due to different causes.
