Objective To clarify the effect of antiproliferative factor（APF）on the proliferation of bladder cancer cell line T-24.Methods Active or no active APF with different concentrations was added to cultured bladder cancer T-24 cells.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium（MTT） assay was used to determine the proliferation of T-24 cells.The expression of c-Jun and HB-EGF were examined by Western blot.Results MTT showed that there was significant difference in the proliferation with the concentration of AFP increased from 0.5 μg /ml to 1.0 μg /ml.Compared with the negative control group,the absorption value of no active APF group showed no change（P 〉 0.05）.Western blot indicated that the c-Jun and HB-EGF expression were down-regulated with the concentration of active APF increased（P 〈 0.05）.No difference in their expression was found in no active APF groups.Conclusion Active APF may decrease the expression of c-Jun and HB-EGF,so as to inhibit the proliferation of bladder cancer cells.Our experiment might provide evidence for the therapeutic applications of APF for the bladder cancer.

Objective To observe the influence of the coumarins from Radix Angelicae pubescentis (TCA) on the hypnotic effects of pentobarbital sodium and barbital sodium. Methods Mice were randomly divided into solvent (5% Tween-80, 20 mL/kg), chloromycetin (25 mg/kg) and TCA (50, 100 mg/kg) groups, which were administered orally with equivalent volume. One hour later, all the animals were given pentobarbital sodium (40 mg/kg, ip) or barbital sodium (200 mg/kg, ip), and then the latent period and duration of hypnosis were observed. Results Hypnotic duration of pentobarbital sodium was prolonged by 249.8%, 171.1% and 78.7% in chloromycetin and two TCA groups respectively (P

Objective To study the antioxidative effect of the ethanol extract (e-EXT) and aqueous extract (a-EXT) of Codonopsis lanceolata from Mount Taishan in mice. Method The mice were divided into six groups at random. After the mice were orally treated with 5% Tween-80 (solvent,20 mL/kg),Vitamin C (0.1 g/kg),e-EXT (10,20 g/kg) and a-EXT (10,20 g/kg) once daily for 14 days respectively,the blood,liver and brain were collected for determining SOD,GSH-Px,GSH and MDA levels. Results The SOD,GSH-Px and GSH levels were enhanced significantly,and the MDA levels were reduced markedly in serum,liver and brain homogenate of the mice treated with 20 g/kg e-EXT and a-EXT. In the serum and liver homogenate of 10 g/kg a-EXT group,the levels of SOD,GSH-Px and GSH were increased,the contents of MDA were decreased. Conclusion The ethanol extract and aqueous extract of Codonopsis lanceolata from Mount Taishan could enhance the antioxidative ability of the mice,especially the large-dose aqueous extract.

According to the ultrasonic manifestations of the gall bladder before laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC),including size,morphology,wall thickness,presence or absence of gallstone,congenital anomaly of biliary duct,surrounding adhesion and state of common bile duct,tbe patients Werc dividcd into 4 groups:A.Most suitable for LC,B.Sitable for LC,C.Relatively suitable for LC. D.Not suitable for LC.This provided clinicians the basis for patient selection.Comparing with the sur.gical findings,the coincidence rate of B-mode ultrasonography was 97.8%.Preoperative B-mode ul-trasonography of gall bladder has significant clinical value to relieve the patients from pain,decrease the operative risk and conversion rate of LC.

Objective In this research ,the effects of exogenous C 2-ceramide on the induction of apop-tosis of mesothelioma cells in vitro and related important proteins are investigated .Mtehods Mesothelioma cells were treated with various doses of C 2-ceramide for different duration .Cell viability were analyzed by cell count-ing kit-8 assay.Morphological changes of apoptosis of mesothelioma cells were observed by Diff Quik staining . Apoptosis of mesothelioma cells was also detected by Caspase -3 assay and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)assay. Related important proteins involved in the signal transduction of apoptosis were detected by western blot .Results In vitro,C2-ceramide demonstrated a dose -and time-dependent inhibition of cell proliferation .Apoptotic bodies were observed by Diff Quik staining .The antiproliferative effect of 80 μm C2-ceramide was paralleled with an increase in Caspase -3 activity.LDH assay showed that C2-ceramide at a concentration of 80μm signifi-cantly promoted cells death .After treated by C2-ceramide,the expressions of Bax and the phosphorylated JNK in mesothelioma cells were increased , however , the expression of phosphorylated ERK 1/2 kinase was decreased . Conclusion Our results indicate that C 2-ceramide induced apoptosis of malignant mesothelioma cells in vitro . This anti-tumor affect is achieved by adjusting related important proteins .

This study was aimed to observe the influence on migration ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) in vitro by couplet medicines of reinforcing qi and activating blood, and initially screen medicines with relative obvious promoting or inhibiting effect on migration ability of HUVEC. The model of HUVEC cultured in vitro was established. The Paeonia, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Cortex moutan, Salvia, curcuma zedoaria, Sparganium, Astragalus, and ginseng were combined in pairs with the proportion of 1:2, 1:1, 2:1. There were 13 couplet medicines of reinforcing qi and activating blood. Serum pharmacological method was used to prepare medicated serum of the couplet medicines of reinforcing qi and activating blood. Scratch method was used to detect the effect of medicated serum of these couplet medicines of reinforcing qi and activating blood and activate blood herbs on the migration a-bility of HUVEC (with the density of 5í105/mL) after 24 hours. The results showed that compared with the blood serum of the blank group, the Cortex moutan group, Ligusticum chuanxiong group, Paeonia group, Salvia and Astra-galus (1:2) group, Salvia and Astragalus (1:1) group, Ligusticum chuanxiong and Astragalus (1:2) group had obvious promoting effect on the migration ability of VEC (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The Sparganium group, curcuma zedoaria group, Cortex moutan group, curcuma zedoaria and Astragalus (2:1) group, Sparganium and ginseng (2:1) group, Spar-ganium and Astragalus (1:1) group had obvious inhibiting effect on the migration ability of VEC (P< 0.05 or P<0.01). It was concluded that different compatibility of medicines of reinforcing qi and activating blood and activate blood herbs had different promoting or inhibiting effect on migration ability of HUVEC. It may be related to the mechanism of action of these drugs on promoting or inhibiting angiogenesis at the cellular level.

This study was aimed to observe the influence of qi-reinforcing and blood-activating(QRBA) herbs onan-giogenesis of the myocardial microvascular, SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein expression as well as mRNA expression in the infarcted myocardium edge area of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) ratmodel. The AMI rat model was estab-lished. The immunohistochemical staining method was used in the detection of vWF protein expression in the myocar-dial tissues. The MVC account was recorded. The SDF-1 factor and its specific receptor factor CXCR4 were detected by the western blot and realtime-PCR technique in the infarcted myocardium edge area of rats from each group. The results showed that in the new generated microvessels which were staining marked by the vWF factor can be seen in infarcted myocardium edge area of rats from the sham-operated group, model group, each medication group. The new generated microvessels in the myocardium of rats in the sham-operated group were not obvious. Small amount of new generated microvessels can be seen in rats from the model group. More new generated microvessels can be seen in rats from each medication group. The comparison between the model group and the sham-operated group showed sta-tistical difference (P<0.05). The comparison between each medication group and the model group showed statistical difference(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the sham-operated group, SDF-1, CXCR4 and mRNA expression were obviously increased in the myocardium of rats in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, SDF-1, CXCR4 protein and mRNA expression were obviously increased in the myocardium of rats from each medication group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). It was concluded that herbs such as Salvia, couplet herbs of Salvia and Astra-galushad stimulation effectonangiogenesis. Mechanism of these drugs in angiogenesismay be through the promotion of SDF-1 and CXCR4 protein as well as mRNA express.
