Anti-inflammatory and analgesic and antipyretic and gastrointestinal ulcerogenic activities of ketoprofen 2-(3-benzoylphenyl -propionic acid) were investigated in experimental animals.Anti-inflammatory potency of ketoprofen was almost equal to that of indomethacin in carrageenin, yeast or nystatin-incluced hind paw edema and in acetic acid-induced increase of vascular permeability.Oral analgesic ED50-value of ketoprofen was on the whole campa-rable to that of indomethacin.Ketoprofen exerted a strong antipyretic action at oral doses in rats and its potency (ED50-1.22 mg/kg) was 2.3 times of that of indomethacin. However, ulcerogenicity of ketoprofen was weeker than that of indomethacin safety index and therapeutic index (SUD60/ED50 and LD60/ED40) of ketoprofen were greater than that of indomethacin and extremely great (the index ratio=114.7/4.5 ) in the antipyretic activity. It was suggested from these findings that ketoprofen is a potent anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and antipyretic actions superior to indomethacin and a wide safety margin.

Objective:To isolate cancer stem cells from cervical carcinoma and to identify their biological characteristics. Methods:Tumor specimens were obtained from 19 cervical cancer patients at stages ⅠA-ⅡB. Primary cells were cultured in tumor sphere medium (TSM) after mechanical dissociation combined with enzymatic digestion. A series of assays were used to identify the characteristics of the sphere forming cells derived from primary culture. Colony formation was observed by limiting dilution method. MTT assay was used to assess proliferation inhibition by paclitaxel and doxorubicin. Cell surface markers were analysed by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS). The expression of stemness-related genes, drug resistance-related genes, and oncogenes were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Tumorigenicity was evaluated by subcutaneous injection of 1×10~5 sphere-forming cells into nude mice. The tumor formation capability was recorded and pathological classification was performed.Results:After 10 to 15 d culture, the formation of non-adherent spheres could be observed in 8 out of 19 primary tumor cells. The formation ratio was increased with the increase in clinical staging. Sphere-forming cells had colony formation capability. Paclitaxel (100 nmol/L) and doxorubicin (100 nmol/L) inhibited the proliferation of these cells by (77.65±6.46)% and (48.00±7.15)%, respectively. The difference was significant (P<0.01). FACS detection results indicated the phenotypes of sphere-forming cells were CD34~-CD105~-CD44~+CK17~+. RT-PCR detection indicated that spheres expressed stemness-related genes (Oct4 and Piwil2), drug resistance gene ABCG2, and oncogenes (c-myc, sox-2 and stat3). Western blotting further indicated stemness-related protein (Oct4 and Piwil2) expression in spheres. Tumors appeared in all animals at 12 weeks after subcutaneous injection of 1×10~5 sphere forming cells and exhibited a high degree of similarity with the primary tumor in cervical cancer patients. Conclusion:Human cervical cancer stem cells were successfully isolated,which provided a useful model for individualized therapy and evaluation of the therapeutic efficacy for cervical cancer patients.

Objective To explore the measurement of(1,3)-β-D glucan in plasma for the diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infections in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods 40 pulmonary tuberculosis patients with pulmonary fungal infections in Guangzhou chest hospital from January 2015 to December 2015 were enrolled as a test group,among which 35 were confirmed and 5 were suspected pulmonary fungal infections. 52 pulmonary tuber-culosis patients without fungal infections were selected as a control group.(1,3)-β-D glucan content(G test)in this 92 patients plasma were detected. The results of G tests were compared with those from etiological diagnosis to assess the performance of G test. Results 13 strains of candida albicans,13 strains of aspergillus,2 strains of candida tropicalis,2 strains of candida glabrata and 6 strains of other yeast were obtained from patients of test group,but no fungal identified from those of control group. The median of G test in test group and in control group was 126.1 and 29.56 pg/mL,respectively,the level in test group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.001). 35 cases were identified as positive and 5 were negative in test group by G test ,while 41 cases were identified as negative and 11 were positive in control group. The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value, negative predictive value ,concordance and Youden index of G test were 87.5%,78.85%,76.09%,89.13%, 82.6%and 0.663,respectively. Conclusions Candida albicans and aspergillus are more common pathogens than the other fungi isolated from pulmonary tuberculosis patients with pulmonary fungal infection. G test ,used in pul-monary tuberculosis with pulmonary fungal infections diagnosis,is reliable and fast,and has a higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the difference in mental health status of oral tumor patients and their spouses, and explore the differences on the basis of relevant materials.

METHODSForty patients with oral cancer, eighteen spouses, and thirty-five patients with oral benign tumor were diagnosed in the West China Hospital of Stomatology between December 2011 and August 2012 and assessed with symptom checklist-90 (SCL90) (the 5-grade scoring). Participants were assessed independently according to their conditions. Blood samples were obtained from the participants by syringe on the second admission day. A method was developed to determine the concentrations of catecholamine and glucocorticoid in the serum using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).

RESULTSThe scores for compel, depression and rests in the cancer group and benign tumor group were statistically significant (P<0.05). The scores for compel, dread and stubborn in the cancer group and their spouses were statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences between the total and other monomial factor scores were not statistically significant. However, the contents of epinephrine, norepinephrine, cortisone and hydrocortisone in the serum, as determined by HPLC-MS/MS, were significantly different (P<0.001).

CONCLUSIONPsychiatric factors do not show a simple factor effect on patients. Symptoms of patients may be based on tumorigenesis and developed in small molecules. Further research is required.

Objectives:To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of typical pharmaceutical smoking cessation intervention strategies in China in the context of primary cancer prevention.Methods:Markov cohort simulation models were established to simulate the burden of 12 smoking caused cancer, including lung cancer, oral cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, kidney cancer, bladder cancer, cervical cancer, and acute myeloid leukemia. Taking incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) as the main indicator, the model sets one year as the cycling period for 50 periods and simulates the cohort of 10 000 thirty-five-year-old current smokers with various smoking cessation strategies. To ensure the robustness of conclusion, univariate sensitivity analysis, probability sensitivity analysis, and age-group sensitivity analysis were conducted.Results:The results showed that varenicline intervention was the most cost-effective intervention. Compared to the next most effective option, incremental cost of each additional quality-adjusted life year is 11 140.28 yuan, which is below the threshold of willingness to pay (1 year GDP per capita). The value of ICER increased as the increasing age group of adopting intervention, but neither exceeded the threshold of willingness to pay. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that the value of discount rate, the hazard ratio and cost of intervention strategy had a greater impact on the result of ICER.Conclusion:In China, the use of varenicline to quit smoking is highly cost effective in the context of cancer primary prevention, especially for younger smokers.

Objective To investigate the role of RNA-binding motif protein X-linked(RBMX)in regulating the proliferation,migration,invasion and glycolysis in human bladder cancer cells.Methods A lentivirus vectors system and RNA interference technique were used to construct bladder cancer 1376 and UC-3 cell models with RBMX overexpression and knockdown,respectively,and successful cell modeling was verified using RT-qPCR and Western blotting.Proliferation and colony forming ability of the cells were evaluated using EdU assay and colony-forming assay,and cell migration and invasion abilities were determined using Transwell experiment.The expressions of glycolysis-related proteins M1 pyruvate kinase(PKM1)and M2 pyruvate kinase(PKM2)were detected using Western blotting.The effects of RBMX overexpression and knockdown on glycolysis in the bladder cancer cells were assessed using glucose and lactic acid detection kits.Results RT-qPCR and Western blotting confirmed successful construction of 1376 and UC-3 cell models with RBMX overexpression and knockdown.RBMX overexpression significantly inhibited the proliferation,clone formation,migration and invasion of bladder cancer cells,while RBMX knockdown produced the opposite effects.Western blotting results showed that RBMX overexpression increased the expression of PKM1 and decreased the expression of PKM2,while RBMX knockdown produced the opposite effects.Glucose consumption and lactate production levels were significantly lowered in the cells with RBMX overexpression(P<0.05)but increased significantly following RBMX knockdown(P<0.05).Conclusion RBMX overexpression inhibits bladder cancer progression and lowers glycolysis level in bladder cancer cells by downregulating PKM2 expression,suggesting the potential of RBMX as a molecular target for diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.
