[Journal Article]Yang Baoyi, Ye Xiangmei, Wu Xian et al.-China Medicine2025, No.04

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of luteolin,the active ingredient in the alcohol extract of Prunella vulgaris,on the proliferation and migration of optic nerve glioma(ONG)cells,and to reveal its potential mechanism of action for tumor treatment.Methods The cultured U87-MG glioma cells were grouped for treat-ment.The control group was treated with dimethyl sulfoxide,and the 10,20,40 and 60 μmol/L luteolin treatment groups were treated with 10,20,40 and 60 μmol/L luteolin,respectively.The temozolomide treatment group was treated with 100 μmol/L temozolomide.The proliferation,migration and colony formation ability of U87-MG cells in different treatment groups were detected by scratch assay,colony formation assay and cell counting kit-8 assay.Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)pathway-related genes,PI3K catalytic subunit γ(PIK3CG),AKT,vimentin and N-cadherin.Results Luteolin could significantly inhibit the migration,clonogenesis and proliferation of U87-MG glioma cells,and the differences were statistically significant compared with the control group(all P<0.05).With the increase of luteolin concentration,the inhibitory effect was gradually enhanced,and the inhibitory effect of temozolomide group was significantly lower than that of luteolin group(all P<0.05).The PI3K/AKT pathway gene PIK3CG mRNA expressions in glioma U87-MG cells treated with 10,20,40,60 μmol/L luteolin and temozolomide for 24 h were significantly lower than those in the control group[(0.236±0.016),(0.199±0.016),(0.143±0.058),(0.103±0.014),(0.458±0.014)vs(0.977±0.023)](all P<0.05).With the increase of luteolin concentration,the expression of PIK3CG mRNA decreased gradually.Although the decrease of temozolomide group was not as great as that of luteolin group,the difference between temozolomide group and control group was more than 2 times.However,the expressions of AKT,vimentin and N-cadherin mRNA were not affected.Western blot results showed that compared with the control group,the expression level of PIK3CG protein in luteolin groups was also significantly decreased.The expression of PIK3CG protein in luteolin group was gradually decreased with the increase of luteolin concentration,and the expression of PIK3CG protein in temozolomide group was also decreased,but the reduction ratio was not as obvious as that in luteolin group.The results of this protein detection were consistent with the results of mRNA.Conclusion This study confirmed that luteolin can effectively inhibit the proliferation and migration of glioma cells,and may regulate the PI3K/AKT pathway through the low expression of PIK3CG,thereby affecting the proliferation and migration of ONG cells.This study provides an experimental basis for the treatment of ONG with luteolin from the alcohol extract of Prunella vulgaris,reveals the application value of luteolin as a potential drug for the treatment of ONG,and provides a solid theoretical basis for its clinical transformation.

[Journal Article]Li Xiaoyan, Yang Xu, Wang Yuting-China Medicine2025, No.02

Abstract:Although the treatment of ovarian cancer is constantly being optimized,surgery combined with chemotherapy is still the main treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer.The application of RO cytoreductive surgery combined with individualized chemotherapy has greatly improved the 5-year survival rate of some patients,but the 5-year survival rate of patients with advanced ovarian cancer is still lower than 30%.Resistance to chemotherapy is the main reason for the high mortality of ovarian cancer patients.Reversing the resistance of ovarian cancer is an urgent problem for clinical and scientific researchers.The mechanisms of drug resistance in ovarian cancer are complex,including drug transport,drug metabolism,apoptosis,DNA damage repair,epigenetic changes,etc.In addition,multidrug resistance,autophagy,tumor metabolic reorganization,immunity,and cancer stem cells also play an important role in ovarian cancer drug resistance.Based on the deep understanding of various drug resist-ance mechanisms,combination therapy has a wide application prospect in improving chemotherapy sensitivity and prognosis of patients.This article reviews the current research progress on the pathogenesis and treatment strategies of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Abstract:Objective To analyze the influence of different incision size and suture methods on the healing of calcaneal fracture incision,and to identify the independent factors affecting the healing of calcaneal incision.Methods This study was a contemporaneous parallel controlled clinical study.A total of 120 patients who underwent emergency open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneal fractures in Department of Orthopedics,Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from January 2018 to December 2020 were selected as the research objects.According to the order of admission,they were divided into groups A(traditional lateral incision+intermittent mattress suture),B(traditional lateral incision+subcutaneous suture),C(traditional lateral incision+wound adhesive),D(limited incision+intermittent mattress suture),E(limited incision+subcutaneous suture),F(limited incision+wound adhesive),with 20 cases in each group.The suture time,drainage time,incision healing time,hospital stay and other clinical indicators were compared between the groups.Results The comparison between groups with the same incision method showed that the suture time and drainage time in group C were significantly shorter than those in groups A and B,and the suture time and drainage time in group F were signifi-cantly shorter than those in groups D and E.The drainage time in group E was significantly shorter than that in group D(all P<0.05).The limited incision group was compared with the traditional incision group,the suture time in group D was significantly shorter than that in group A,and the suture time in group E was significantly shorter than that in group B(both P<0.05).The comparison between groups with the same suture method showed that the drainage time of groups D,E,and F was shorter than that of groups A,B,and C,respectively.The wound healing time of group F was significantly shorter than that of group C(all P<0.05).The results of correla-tion analysis showed that the incision size and suture method were correlated with drainage time(r=-0.360,-0.575,both P<0.001)and wound healing time(r=-0.284,P=0.002;r=-0.203,P=0.026).In addition,the incision size and wound healing time were also correlated with the length of hospital stay(r=0.116,P=0.021;r=0.779,P<0.001).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the incision size and suture method were both independent factors affecting the drainage time(both P<0.001),and the incision size was the only independent factor affecting the incision healing time(P=0.002).Conclusions Incision drainage time of calcaneal fractures is affected by incision size and suture method,while incision healing is only affected by incision size.The method of limited incision+wound adhesive has the advantages of shortening the drainage time and wound healing time.
