Quercetin protects against chronic prostatitis in rat model through NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways.

Background: Chronic Prostatitis/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CP/CPPS) is a common disease of urology, of which the pathogenesis and therapy remain to be further elucidated. Quercetin has been reported to improve the symptoms of CP/CPPS patients. We aimed to verify the therapeutic effect of quercetin on CP/CPPS and identify the mechanism responsible for it.

[Octreotide induces apoptosis of human hepatoma cells by the mechanism of facilitating the Fas/FasL gene expression therein].

Objective: To investigate the effects of octreotide on apoptosis of and Fas/FasL gene expression in human hepatoma cell mechanism of the suppression effect of liver cancer with e in order to offer the experimental foundation for clinic treatment.

Methods: Hyman hematoma cells of the line SMMC-7721 were cultured and divided into two groups: octreotide group, co-cultured with octreotide 4,7, and 10 microg/ml respectively for 24 h, 48 h, or 72 h, and control group. TUNEL was used to detect the apoptosis of the cells.
