0.05). The rate of antibody elimination [70.83% (17/24)]was significantly higher than that of control group [29.17%(7/24 ) ( P

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a key transcription factor on hypoxia responses in mammalian tissues. HIF-1 plays as a positive factor in solid tumor and leads to hypoxia-driven responses that enhance its downstream gene expression for tumor growth and survival. LXY6099 was obtained by the structural modification and optimization of manassantin A (MA) as a high potent HIF-1 inhibitor. Antitumor activity of LXY6099 was observed in this study. LXY6099 with an IC50 value of 2.46 x 10(-10) mol x L(-1) showed more sensitive inhibition activity to HIF-1 than that of MA detected by reporter gene assay (> 100 folds). It showed strong inhibition on the growth of human solid tumor cell lines. Furthermore, LXY6099 exhibited significant antitumor activity against established human tumor xenografts in nu/nu mice with treatment of MX-1 breast cancer. Thus, LXY6099 as a novel HIF-1 inhibitor could be further developed into anti-cancer agents.

Objective To identify the potential neoplastic risk in gonadal development abnormality with Y chromosome.Methods Inquiries about the illness history were made.Lymphocyte chromosoreal karyotype of peripheral blood Was analyzed.Sex determining region Y gene and relative steroids and enzymes were detected.Gonadal site was examined through medical imaging.Conadal excision Was performed by laparotomy or laparoscopy.Pathological examinations were done on all of the specimens.Results Among 41 cases of androgen insensitive syndrome,spermatogenie cell neoplasm occurred in 1 patient,sertoli cell tumor in 2,and interstitial cell hyperplasia in 5.Among 14 cases of 17a.hydroxylase deficiency(XY)syndrome,one was sertoli eell tumor,and one Was sertoli cell hyperplasia.In 4 cases of XY pure gonadal dysgenesis.one was gonadoblastoma with dysgerminomm One of 16 cases of X0/XY gonadal dysgenesis Was spermatogenic cell neoplasm with agenda cell tumor.Four cases of testes degeneration were all with dysgenetic testes.All of the gonadoblastoma and germ-cell tumor were located in the pelvis.Tumors occurred mostly during 15 years of age to 32 years.Conclusions The gonads of XY pure gonadal dysgenesis has high risks of gonadoblastoma and germ-cell tumor.The older the onset age after puberty. the higher the malignancy risk is.Once diagnosed,bilateral gonads should be excised as soon as possible.

Objective To evaluate the medium and long term safety and efficacy of sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) performed with conventional instruments in treating stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pelvic organ prolapse (POP).Methods A prospective cohort analysis was conducted in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital,between May 2007 and June 2015,enrolling 55 women with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ POP who intended to receive SSLF.Primary end points were objective success rates using pelvic organ prolapse quantitation system (POP-Q) and subjective satisfaction rates with questionnaires after surgery according to vaginal examination and related questionnaires for all patients who received SSLF eventually.Exploratory outcomes included perioperative parameters and complications.Results Of these 55 POP patients enrolled,52 (95％,52/55) received SSLF using conventional surgical instruments,the other 3 cases converted to ischial spinous fascia fixation due to difficulty exposing.Medium blood loss during operation was 100 ml (20-300 ml) and operative time 60 minutes (20-165 minutes).Pelvic hematoma with diameters of 5 cm and 7 cm were observed in two patients,both recovered fully with conservative methods.All patients were able to micturate spontaneously after catheter withdrawal.One patient reported right thigh pain after operation which remained till 3-month follow-up and relieved after physiotherapy.The objective success rate was 100％ (52/52) at 3 months.With a medium follow-up time of 23.7 months,the objective success rate was 98％ (51/52),the recurrence rate was 2％ (1/52) and the satisfactory rate was 94％ (49/52).De novo urinary incontinence occurred in 6％ (3/52) of patients.Conclusion Most POP could be corrected with SSLF using conventional instruments which is a feasible,economic and effective procedure for Asian patients with medium compartment prolapse.

OBJECTIVE： To investigate the effects of different doses of total alkaloids from Aconitum racemulosum （ARTA） on serum inflammation factors and FOS protein expression in synovial tissue of joint in collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） model rats， and to investigate its potential mechanism of anti-rheumatoid arthritis （RA）. METHODS： Male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， positive group （Compound dexamethasone acetate ointment， 0.2 g/kg）， ARTA low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （56.26， 112.50， 225.00 mg/kg， by the weight of ARTA in the extract）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for blank group， other groups were given subcutaneous injection of Bovine collagen Ⅱ emulsified with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant into the left foot to establish CIA model； the left foot were smeared with relevant medicine from the day of modeling. Blank group and model group were smeared with constant volume of 65％ ethanol， 3 times a day， for consecutive 28 days. On the 7th， 14th， 21st and 28th day of administration， the thickness of left hind toe was measured with vernier caliper， and the degree of foot swelling was calculated. The serum contents of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in rats were measured by ELISA after last administration. The expression of FOS protein in synovial tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method [expressed by HIS]. The comprehensive score was conculated by entropy weight method. Effects of each dosage on above indexes of CIA model rats were evaluated with the comprehensive score. RESULTS： Compared with blank group， the degree of foot swelling， serum content of inflammatory factors and HIS value were increased significantly in model group （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the degree of foot swelling in each administration group， serum contents of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α， HIS in positive group and ARTA high-dose group， serum contents of IL-6 and TNF-α in ARTA medium-dose group as well as serum content of TNF-α in ARTA low-dose group were decreased significantly（P＜0.05）. Comprehensive score of above indicators were 0.37（positive group）， 0.31（ARTA high-dose group）， 0.23（ARTA medium-dose group） and 0.09（ARTA low-dose group）. CONCLUSIONS： ARTA can improve CIA model rats， and the effect tends to increase with the increase of dose. Above effect may be associated with reducing serum content of inflammatory factors and inhibiting the expression of FOS protein in synovial tissue.
