Rutin is extracted from Ruta graveolens L. with many pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation , protecting cardiovascular system and analgesia. As a natural product, rutin has the advantages of low side effects and difficult tolerance, but its instability and low bioavailability still limit its clinical application. This paper summarizes the analgesic mechnism of rutin, and looks forward to the clinical applica¬tion of rutin based on its derivative and dosage forms. It is expected to provide ideas for further analgesic research and drug development and application of rutin in the future.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA (miR)-513c-5p in cervical cancer and the mechanism of targeting histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) regulating cervical cancer cell migration and invasion. Methods Clinically collected 86 patients with cervical cancer. The levels of miR-513c-5p in tumor tissues and adjacent tissues were detected by Real-time PCR. The relationship between miR-513c-5p and pathological characteristics of cervical cancer was analyzed. It was verified that miR-513c-5p targets HDAC1 by a dual luciferase report. Cervical cancer HeLa cells were divided into four groups: control group, mimic group, mimic+HDAC1 group and HDAC1 group. MiR-513c-5p and(or) HDAC1 were overexpressed by plasmid transfection technology. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression level of RNA or protein, respectively. The cell growth, migration, and invasion capabilities of each group were measured by CCK-8 method, cell scratch test, and Transwell test. Results The level of miR-513c-5p in cervical cancer tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues. Low levels of miR-513c-5p were associated with higher local invasion, lymphatic metastasis, and distal metastasis (P<0. 05). MiR-513-5p targeted HDAC1 expression. Overexpression of miR-513c-5p inhibited significantly the growth, migration and invasion of cervical cancer cells (P < 0. 05). Overexpression of HDAC1 promoted growth, migration and invasion (P<0. 05), and reversed the inhibitory effect of miR-513c-5p (P<0. 05). Conclusion Low levels of miR-513c-5p might be related to cervical cancer metastasis, and miR-513c-5p could inhibit the growth, migration and invasion of cervical cancer HeLa cells by targeted inhibition of HDAC1 protein expression.

Purpose To analyze the expression and prognostic value of metastasis-associated protein 2 (MTA2) in epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Methods The expression of MTA2 protein was examined in 91 paraffin-embedded specimens by immunohistochemical SP method, and in fresh specimens by Western blot, and then combined with follow-up data for prognosis analysis. Results There was an increasing tendency in positive rate of MTA 2 expression from benign ovarian cysts (17.5％) to epithelial ovarian cancers (78.43％), and there were significant difference (χ2=33.328, P<0.001). The expression of the MTA2 was significantly correlated to FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis (both P<0.05). The relative expression of MTA2 in benign ovarian cysts and epithelial ovarian cancers was 0.58±0.05, and 1.22±0.10, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (t=-22.274, P<0.001). The survival curve of patients with MTA2 (+) differed from the survival curve of patients with MTA2 (-) and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=10.203, P<0.05). The multiple factor analysis revealed that the expression of MTA2, FIGO stage and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic factors for clinical outcome of epithelial ovarian cancer. Conclusion MTA2 may be involved in the progression and metastasis of epithelial ovarian cancer as an oncogene. Overexpression of the marker indicates poor prognosis of patients.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the distribution pattern, the protein expressions, and changes of functional activities of estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and beta in the hippocampus of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) rats of Gan-qi depression syndrome (GDS), and to find out corresponding effect targets of Jingqianshu Granule (JG), thus providing clues for exploring the pathogenesis of PMS of GDS and the mechanisms of JG.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, i. e., the normal group, the model group, and the medication group, 7 in each. Resident intruder stress was used to establish the model in the model group and the medication group. JG was given to rats in the medication group at the dose of 10 mL/kg by gastrogavage while modeling. Equal volume of sterilized water was given to rats in the model group and the normal group, once daily, for 5 successive days. Then the location, protein levels, and ligand-binding capacities of ERalpha and ERbeta in the hippocampus of rats in three groups were detected using immunohistochemical assay, Western blot, and dextran-active carbon binding assay.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no difference in the distribution pattern of ERalpha and ERbeta in the hippocampus of the three groups. In aspects of protein levels and estrogen-binding capacities of ERalpha and ERbeta in the hippocampus, CA1 and CA3 regions, they increased more obviously in the model group than in the normal group (P < 0.05), while they decreased more significantly in the medication group than in the model group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Higher estrogen levels and enhanced expressions and activities of ERalpha and ERbeta in the hippocampus might be important mechanisms for PMS of GDS, which might also be the effect targets for JG.</p>
