Objective To clone cDNA of trichosanthin (TCS) and purify TCS, and to study its influence on apoptosis and growth inhibition of colorectal carcinoma LoVo cells in vitro. Methods MTT assay was adopted to measure the growth inhibition ratio of LoVo cells treated with TCS, and apoptosis was assayed by agarose gel eletrophoresis. Results The results showed that the higher concentration of TCS and the longer testing time, the stronger growth inhibition of LoVo cells. DNA agarose gel eletrophoresis showed a gradient, which confirmed that TCS could induce the apoptosis of LoVo cells. Conclusions TCS can inhibit the growth of LoVo cells in vitro and induce its apoptosis. Our study provides evidence for the application of TCS in clinical treatment of human colorectal carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the effect of fish oil parenteral supplementation on monocyte function in gastrointestinal cancer patients.Methods Sixty-four gastrointestinal cancer volunteers were equally randomized into study group and control group.Both groups received conventional lipid emulsion,and the study group was added with fish oil parenteral supplementation for 5 days.Blood samples were collected on the 1st,3rd,and 6th post-operative days to detect the interleukin (IL)-1β,IL-10,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor-α,and human leukocyte antigen-DR.Results After 5 days of continuous management,the IL-1β,IL-6,and tumor necrosis factor-o levels in the study group became significantly lower than those in the control group [(1 818 ± 213)pg/Lvs (2292 ±289)pg/L,P=0.027; (415 ±71)pg/Lvs (791±163)pg/L,P=0.001; (2 194± 350) pg/L vs (2 509 ± 507)pg/L,P =0.036,respectively),whereas the level of IL-10 by mononuclear leukocytes in two groups showed no significant difference.The expression of human leukocyte antigen-DR was significantly increased in both groups,but was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group [(76.6±15.2)％ vs (62.3±16.8)％,P=0.029].Conclusion Fish oil helps improve postoperative monocyte function in patients with gastrointestinal tumor.

Objective To investigate the effect of porous silk fibroin scaffolds (PSFSs) combined with chondroitinase ABC (ChABC)for treatment of rats with spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods After exposed to T9 spinal cord transection injury,96 SD rats were divided into control group,PSFSs group,ChABC group,and PSFSs plus ChABC group according to random number table.BBB scoring system was used to evaluate hindlimb motor function in rats.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis were performed to detect expression levels of neurofilament-200 (NF-200),glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP),and growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) of the injured spinal cord.Immuno-fluorescence staining was carried out to evaluate regeneration of nerve fiber.Results BBB score improved in PSFSs group (8.1 ± 0.8),ChABC group (9.0 ± 1.1),and PSFSs plus ChABC group (13.7 ± 1.3) compared with control group 4 weeks after injury (5.3 ±0.7,P ＜0.05).Immunohistochemistry showed higher integral absorbance (IA) values of NF-200 and GAP-43 in those treatment groups,but smaller GFAP-positive area was observed compared with control group (P ＜ 0.05).Immuno-fluorescence staining indicated more GAP-43 growth at injury sites in PSFSs plus ChABC group in contrast with other 3 groups.Western blotting showed levels of NF-200,GFAP,and GAP-43 differed among groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion PSFSs combined with chondroitinase ABC transplantation can enhance axonal regeneration,inhibit glial scar proliferation and hence promote motor function recovery.

Objective To study effect of a novel schiff base ruthenium coordination compound on cell proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell.Method Gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell were divided into four groups according to different treatment of novel schiff base ruthenium coordination compound (concentration of 10, 30, 50μmol/L) and blank group with DMSO.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, cell apoptosis and cell cycle were analysed by flow cytometry.ResuIts MTT results showed the inhibitory effect of novel schiff base ruthenium coordination compound on SGC-7901 cell enhanced with the increase of its concentration, and inhibitory rates were higher than that of blank group at 24, 48, 72 h.Flow cytometry results showed the apoptosis rate of novel ruthenium coordination compound groups of 10, 30, 50μmol/L were (17.64 ±1.21)%, (26.47 ± 0.61)%, (55.63 ±1.49)%, respectively, all higher than that of blank group (P<0.05).The cell proportion of G1 phase increased with the increasing of the novel schiff base ruthenium coordination.ConcIusion A novel schiff base ruthenium coordination compound could inhibit the growth of gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells, promote apoptosis and arrest gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells at G1.

Clinical characteristics, treatments and prognosis of 10 primary Sj?gren syndrome (pSS) patients with lymphoma were retrospectively analyzed. All 10 patients were female. Dry mouth, dry eyes and lymph node enlargement were common. Laboratory tests showed positive antinuclear antibody(ANA), anti-SSA antibody, anti-SSB antibody and rheumatoid factor(RF); lower lymphocyte counts and high IgG level. All patients were not treated regularly after pSS was diagnosed; 9 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and 1 case of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) were finally diagnosed. The main histological types of NHL were mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue marginal zone lymphoma (MALT) and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Both intranodal and extranodal involvement was common. Patients were followed up for 1-144 months, 8 patients were treated with R-CHOP regime, CHOP regime or rituximab; 5 patients were stable, 4 patients died, and 1 case lost to follow up. Patients with pSS are closely associated with an enhanced risk of lymphoma, especially NHL. The clinical manifestations were complicated and varied.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of polyene phosphatidylcholine injection in the treatment of liver disease.Methods Pubmed,Embase,The Cochrane Library,ClinicalTrial.gov,CNKI,SinoMed,VIP,and WanFang Data were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of polyene phosphatidylcholine injection in the treatment of liver disease from inception to December 31st,2022.Two researchers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies.The Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 17.0 software.Results A total of 10 RCTs were included,including 809 patients.Meta-analysis showed that the effective rate in the polyene phosphatidylcholine injection group was higher than that in the control group(RR=1.12,95％CI 1.04 to 1.20,P=0.003 8).Compared with the control group,polyene phosphatidylcholine injection could decrease ALT level(MD=-18.92 U/L,95％CI-27.75 to-10.09,P＜0.001),AST level(MD=-31.19 U/L,95％CI-46.27 to-16.11,P=0.000 1),TBiL level(MD=-7.31 μmol/L,95％CI-10.75 to-3.88,P＜0.001),and GGT levels(MD=-48.93 U/L,95％CI-54.64 to-43.21,P＜0.001).Only one study reported mild adverse events,and six studies reported no severe adverse events in patients.Conclusion Current evidence shows that polyene phosphatidylcholine injection in the treatment of alcoholic liver disease can increase the effective rate,improve the levels of liver function indicators(ALT,AST,TBiL,and GGT),and has less adverse events.Due to the limited number and quality of included studies,the above conclusions need to be verified by more high-quality studies.
