[Telomerase antisense inhibition and chemotherapeutic combination treatments for the proliferation of endometrial cancer in vitro and in vivo].
To investigate the antitumor effects of telomerase antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (AODN). ⋯ Antisesne oligonucleotide of hTERT effectively inhibits the abnormal activation of telomerase, thus the growth of endometrial cancer cells. Telomerase inhibitor may be a new strategy for chemotherapy or chemoprevention in endometrial cancer.

[Effects of doxycycline on the expression of matrix metalloproteinase and tissue inhibitor of MMP in myocardium after acute myocardial infarction: an animal experiment with rats].
To assess the effects of doxycycline, a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor, on the expression of MMP-8 and -13, and tissue inhibitor of MMP-1 and -2 (TIMP-1 and -2), and on collagen remodeling in the noninfarcted myocardium after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ⋯ Doxycycline suppresses the enhanced mRNA and protein expressions of MMP-8 and 13 and TIMP-1 and 2, and type I collagen deposition in the noninfarcted myocardium after AMI, but it has no effect on type III collagen deposition.
