Latest ArticlesTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of bevacizumab injection combined with paclitaxel injection and carboplatin injection in the treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Patients with advanced ovarian cancer were randomly divided into control group and treatment group. The control group was given 175 mg·m-2 paclitaxel once every 3 weeks, the intravenous infusion was not less than 3 h + 0.3 - 0.4 g·m-2 carboplatin once every 3 weeks, intravenous infusion. On the basis of control group, the treatment group was given 15 mg·kg-1 bevacizumab once every 3 weeks, intravenous infusion. Two groups were treated for 6 courses with 3 weeks per course. The clinical efficacy, tumor markers, vascular related factors, T lymphocyte and miRNA-30 levels, survival during treatment and safety were compared between two groups.
Treatment group was enrolled 71 cases, 10 cases dropped out, and 61 cases were finally included in the statistical analysis. Control group was enrolled 70 cases, 10 cases dropped out, and 60 cases were finally included in the statistical analysis. After treatment, the disease remission rates of treatment and control groups were 60.66% (37 cases/61 cases) and 41.67% (25 cases/60 cases) with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). After treatment, the cluster of differentiation 133 levels were (11.44±2.46) and (26.77±5.41) U·mL-1, the DEAD-box helicase 4 levels were (13.55±3.48) and (33.16±5.46) U·mL-1, the relative expression levels of miRNA-30b were 1.03±0.07 and 1.15±0.08, the relative expression levels of miRNA-30c were 1.09±0.05 and 1.22±0.06, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). During follow-up, all-cause deaths of treatment and control groups were 8 and 11 cases, the survival rates were 86.89% and 81.67% (all P>0.05). The adverse drug reactions in both groups were mainly gastrointestinal reactions, alopecia, allergies and liver dysfunction. The total incidences of adverse drug reactions in the treatment and control groups were 55.74% and 43.33%, without significant difference (P>0.05).

SW620 colorectal cancer cells were randomly divided into the following groups: Control group (standard culture), experimental group (treated with ginsenoside Rh2 at 20 μmol·L-1), NC inhibitor group (transfected with NC inhibitor), miR-128-3p inhibitor group (transfected with miR-128-3p inhibitor), ginsenoside Rh2 + miR-128-3p inhibitor group (treated with ginsenoside Rh2 at 20 μmol·L-1 and transfected with miR-128-3p inhibitor), and ginsenoside Rh2+miR-128-3p inhibitor+si-GDF15 group (treated with ginsenoside Rh2 at 20 μmol·L-1, transfected with miR-128-3p inhibitor and si-GDF15). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression levels of miR-128-3p and GDF15 mRNA. Cell proliferation was assessed using 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) incorporation assay. Western blotting was employed to detect the protein relative levels of myelocytomatosis oncogene (Myc) and β-catenin.
The relative expression levels of miR-128-3p in the control group and experimental group were 1.00±0.16 and 1.56±0.25, respectively; the relative expression relative levels of GDF15 mRNA were 1.00±0.12 and 0.43±0.05, respectively; the proliferation rates were (88.76±8.56)% and (35.89±4.05)%, respectively; the v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (Myc) protein levels were 1.00±0.21 and 0.45±0.06, respectively; and the β-catenin protein relative levels were 1.00±0.23 and 0.52±0.07, respectively. Compared with the control group, the above indicators in the experimental group showed statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). In the ginsenoside Rh2+miR-128-3p inhibitor group and ginsenoside Rh2+miR-128-3p inhibitor+si-GDF15 group, the cell proliferation rates were (68.56±7.12)% and (50.56±5.18)%, respectively; the Myc protein relative levels were 0.86±0.12 and 0.61±0.08, respectively; and the β-catenin protein relative levels were 0.71±0.09 and 0.58±0.08, respectively. The above indicators in the ginsenoside Rh2+miR-128-3p inhibitor group compared with the experimental group, and those in the ginsenoside Rh2+miR-128-3p inhibitor+si-GDF15 group compared with the ginsenoside Rh2+miR-128-3p inhibitor group, all showed statistically significant differences (all P<0.05).
Ginsenoside Rh2 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of colon cancer SW620 cells, and promote the apoptosis, which may be related to the regulation of ginsenoside Rh2 on the miR-128-3p/GDF15 to inhibit Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

The contents of copper ions in experimental group, model group and control group were (0.36±0.01), (0.90±0.05) and (0.23±0.04) μmol·g prot-1; the pyruvate content were (0.55±0.04), (0.33±0.03) and (0.44±0.04) μmol·108 cell-1; the AT8 expression levels were 91.46±14.53, 125.02±14.43 and 72.57±19.81; the FDX1 expression levels were 98.93±7.40, 147.83±18.63 and 79.18±8.06; the relative expression levels of MPC1 protein were 0.59±0.11, 1.01±0.14 and 0.55±0.13; the relative expression levels of MPC2 protein were 0.54±0.05, 1.31±0.07 and 0.43±0.07; the relative expression levels of DLAT protein were 0.72±0.04, 0.92±0.07 and 0.53±0.14, respectively. The above indexes in the experimental group were statistically significant compared with those in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01, P<0.001).
