METHODS The cytotoxin was isolated and purified from Guangxi cobra venom by successive chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and CM Sepharose CL-6B columns. Its cytotoxic effects and does-effect relationship on human tumors cell lines were examined by MTT assay. RESULTS The inhibitory effects of CTX CM-5 on CNE, human ovarian carcinoma cell (Ho8990), uterus cervical carcinoma cell (HELA) and lymphoma (YAC) cell lines showed a definite does-effect relationship. The IC 50 (48 h in cubation) was 1.84, 2.59, 1.84 and 0.75 mg?L -1 respctively. The inhibitory effects of CTX CM-5 on CNE increased with time. The IC 50 (3 h and 24 h cubation) was 4.78 and 1.04 mg?L -1 respctively. CONCLUSION CTX from Guangxi cobra venom exhibites strong suppressive effect on cultured tumor cells line in vitro.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of holmium laser coagulation under choledochoscope for the treatment of intrahepatic hemobilia.Methods The clinical data of 55 patients with intrahepatic hemobilia who received holmium laser coagulation under choledochoscope at the General Hospital of Chengdu Military Area from June 2003 to August 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.After the hemobilia was confirmed with choledochoscopy,an optical fiber of holmium laser was inserted into the intrahepatic bile duct from the hole of choledochoscope.The top of the optical fiber was posed close to the bleeding region,and then the laser was stimulated for coagulation under direct vision.If the observation of the bleeding area was influenced by the bleeding,the porta hepatis was temporarily occluded with a rubber hose combined with pressurized liquid injection bag.For patients with distal bile duct stenosis and bleeding,the narrow area was first expanded by biliary balloon or laser,then hemostasis was completed after the flow of bile duct was restored.Results The hemorrhage of the 55 patients was controlled,with an average time of 5.5 minutes (range,2-15 minutes).Temporary hepatic portal clamping was applied for 16 patients (27 times),and the average blocking time was 2.2 minutes (range,1-4 minutes).Biliary rehaemorrahagia occurred after operation in 2 patients,and they were cured by non-surgical treatment.All patients were discharged after successful hemostasis.The time of follow-up was 35-49 days.The epithelium of the bile duct coagulated by intraoperative holmium laser restored flat in 41 patients,and new biliary stricture was not found in the other 14 patients.Conclusion Holmium laser coagulation under choledochoscope for intrahepatic hemobilia is simple and effective.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new type of titanium alloy Ti-25Nb-10Ta-1Zr-0.2Fe by studying the induced proliferation of L929 cells in contrast with other titania widely used in clinical practice. METHODS: The cell line was treated with extracting liquid containing different concentrations of titanium alloys. The number and morphology of cells was observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope. MTT was used to measure the relative growth rate (RGR) and judge the cytotoxicity grade. Flow cytometry was used to observe cell cycle progression. RESULTS: The RGR of TNTZ group cells at the 3 time points was (93.7±0.8), (100.6±0.4), and (106.4±0.3); the cytotoxicity grade was 1, 0 and 0 after treating for 1, 3 and 5 days; with influence on neither the cell morphology nor the cell cycle. The flow cytometry showed that the sequence of S phase cells was Ti>TNTZ>TC4>blank control >TC4ELI, with no significant difference (P>0.05). None of the 4 materials inhibited the cell proliferation. CONCLUSION The cell morphology and proliferation are not affected by TNTZ. The new titaniu alloys shows good cyto-compatibility. The cytotoxicity is grade 0, meeting the clinical application standard.
