Objective To discuss the preoperative interstitial chemotherapy effect and significance on Ki‐67 and Caspase‐3 in oral squamous cell carcinoma .Methods 60 cases of well‐differentiated oral squamous cell carcinoma were divided into three groups ,non chemotherapy before operation group(n= 30) ,intravenous chemotherapy before operation group (n= 15) and interstitial chemo‐therapy before operation group(n=15) .The expressions of Ki‐67 and Caspase‐3 were determined by immunohistochemical method , then compared between three groups .Results The labelling index of Ki‐67 in tissue of carcinoma were significant differences a‐mong each groups(P< 0 .05) .The labelling index of Ki‐67 in adjacent mucosas of carcinoma were significant differences among three groups(P<0 .05) .The expression rates of Caspase‐3 were significant differences among three groups(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Preoperative interstitial chemotherapy than preoperative intravonous chemotherapy for oral squamous carcinoma more inhibit tumor growth and reduce local recurrence through the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of cell apoptosis ,thus inhibiting tumor growth .

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of D-galactosamine (D-GaIN) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on liver tissue regeneration and repair in mice following liver injury induced by partial hepatectomy.

METHODSA total of 40 male BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into 2 equal groups to receive intraperitoneal injections of D-GaIN (500 mg/kg) plus LPS (50 µg/kg, given 1 h later) or two doses of saline 24 h prior to 1/3 hepatectomy. The liver weight/body weight (LW/BW) ratio and liver regeneration rate were observed at different time points after partial hepatectomy. Liver cell injury was assessed using HE staining, hepatocyte proliferation evaluated with BrdU staining, and the oval cell proliferation observed with immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSIn mice receiving saline injection, the liver volume was nearly restored 9 days after partial hepatectomy, while in mice with D-GaIN and LPS injections, the liver failed to recover the normal volume even at 14 days, showing a significant difference in the liver regeneration rate between them [(22.6∓105.93)% vs (9.49∓32.55)%, P<0.001]. Significant degenerative changes of the hepatic cells were found in D-GaIN/LPS-treated group, while only mild inflammatory reaction was observed in saline-treated group after partial hepatectomy. Obvious hepatocyte proliferation was observed at day 7 in saline-treated group but not in D-GaIN/LPS-treated group. Oval cell proliferation in the portal area occurred 3 days after partial hepatectomy in D-GaIN/LPS-treated group.

CONCLUSIOND-GaIN and LPS can obviously inhibit hepatocyte regeneration after liver injury in mice. D-GaIN and LPS combined with partial hepatectomy can induce oval cell proliferation.
