Objective To search for the anticancer active substance from Caesalpinia sappan wood extractions. Methods Crude extracts were extracted from Caesalpinia sappan wood with different solvents.Liquid chromatography was applied to analyze the content of each essential component in the extraction fractions. Trypan blue exclusion test was performed to detect the growth suppression rate of human bladder carcinoma cell line T24 treated by the extraction fractions at different time course (20,40,60,80,100 min).The main component positively correlated with the cell suppression rate was separated out using repeated chromatography, thus the anticancer active monomer was obtained, with purity over 98 ％. The chemical constitution was determined using NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), mass spectrum and infrared spectrum methods. T24 cell line, human ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3, mice sarcoma S180 and hepatic carcinoma H22 cell were chosen as target subjects, with mitomycin, hydroxycamptothecin as positive control drug, the inhibitory activity of the monomer was tested by trypan blue chromophobia method. Results Among the extraction fractions, R12 has a positive correlation with the cell suppression rate (r100 min=0.941, P＜0.001).Brazilin is the key component in R12.The inhibition rate of brazilin could reach 90.89 ％,98.65 ％,99.82 ％ and 100.00 ％ on T24,SKOV3,S180 and H22 respectively in 40 min at the concentration of 1.2 mg/ml,and its effect is much superior to that of the control drug mitomycin and hydroxycamptothecin. Conclusion Brazilin is one of the essential anticancer principles in Caesalpinia sappan wood.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of transurethral pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy via outer sheath of ureterorenoscope for bladder calculi. Methods From March 2003 to May 2007, 32 patients with bladder calculi were treated by transurethral pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy via outer sheath of ureterorenoscope. Results The operation was completed in all the patients without conversion to open surgery. Transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) was carried out on 22 patients who were complicated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Four patients received cystotrachelotomy because of bladder-neck contracture, and 4 underwent dilation of the urethra owning to urethral stenosis. Simple pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy was performed on two patients. The operation time was 25 to 90 minutes with a mean of (45?25) minutes. No patient had residual stones or perforation of bladder. One patient developed urethral stenosis after the operation. Conclusions Transurethral pneumatic ballistic lithotripsy via outer sheath of ureterorenoscope is a safe, less traumatic treatment for patients with bladder calculi with few complications. The method is especially suitable for patients with BPH.

Conclusions The modified retroperitoneal laparoscopic resection of renal cyst with two 5 mm-trocars and one 10 mm-trocar has less trauma than classic laparoscopic operation. It is one of mini-trauma operation method which is worth to be popularized in clinic.

Traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated rich experience in treating dysfunction of gastrointestinal peristalsis. In recent years, a large number of studies have been made on the mechanism and effects of traditional Chinese medicines on the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the concept of "gastrointestinal promoting Chinese medicine" has been advocated. These traditional Chinese medicines can be divided into three types: promoting the gastrointestinal peristalsis, inhibiting the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and bi-directional modulating. The in vivo and/or in vitro experiments showed that some of the traditional Chinese medicines for activating blood or regulating qi could promote the stomach peristalsis, and the traditional Chinese medicines for moistening intestines to relieve constipation or invigorating spleen to promote digestion could accelerate the intestinal peristalsis. The mechanism lies in the neuroregulation and gut-peptide regulation. Further research on multi-regulation and of multi-target should be done, for the mechanism of the traditional Chinese medicines in regulating the gastrointestinal peristalsis is far more complicated.

AIM: To evaluate the changes of serum total prostate specific antigen (T-PSA), free prostate specific antigen (F-PSA) and the ratio of F-PSA to T-PSA (F/T) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and its clinical significance. METHODS: The concentrations of T-PSA and F-PSA in serum were measured by micropartical enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) using AxSYM System, and the F/T ratio was calculated. RESULTS: Before operation, the concentrations of T-PSA and F-PSA in patients with PCa were much higher and F/T ratio was significantly lower than that in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). T-PSA and F-PSA levels decreased, but F/T ratio increased after operation in PCa and BPH. F/T ratio in 83.5% PCa and 6.5% BPH was less than 0.16. To diagnosis PCa, the sensitivity of F/T ratio was 83.5%, and the specificity was 86.7%. CONCLUSION: Serum T-PSA, F-PSA and F/T ratio are important parameters for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. [

Objective Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) is a critical and triggering event in the development of distal organ dysfunction,frequently involving the lungs.In this study we investigated the effects of edaravone on the prevention of lung injury induced by intestinal I-R in rats.Methods Eighteen male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: Sham operation group (group Sham),I-R group (group IR) and edaravone group (group E).After injecting 6 mg of edaravone or the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride,the anterior mesenteric artery was clamped with a noninvasive microvascular clip for 120 min and then reperfusion for 120 min.Sham-operated animals underwent the same surgical procedures without clamping.Lung tissues were collected for pathology tested by HE dyed,blood as collected for the analysis of TNF-α and IL-6 concentration by ELISA,small lung tissues were collected for the analysis of lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and malonialdehyde (MDA) concentration.Results Compared with group Sham,the alveolar epithelial cells in group IR was widespread edema,inflammatory cell infiltration,atectasis,disruption of alveolar,and pulmonary capillary hemorrhage.The pathological changes of lung tissue in group E were significantly improved compared with those in group IR,and that of alveolar inflammatory exudate was decreased.Pathological scoring of group E (2.1±0.7),which was significantly lower than that of group IR (5.7±1.1) and group sham (1.5±0.2) score (P<0.05),so the concentration of TNF-α,IL-6,MPO activity and MDA concentration of group E were less than those of group IR (P<0.01).Conclusion Edaravone ameliorated the lung injury induced by intestinal I-R.

Objective To investigate the optimal time and molecular mechanism of gene therapy for promoting distraction osteogenesis by observing the effect of gene transfecting at different time on expression of cyclins in mandibular distraction area.Methods Forty eight New-Zealand rabbits were employed.After accomplishing bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis model,the rabbits were randomly divided into the group A,B,C and D.The group A,B and C were transfected by recombinant plasmids pIRES-hBMP2-hVEGF165 2 μg(0.1 μg/μL)at the distraction area instantly after operation,on postoperative 4,14 d and given local electroporation stimulation.The four groups entered the consolidation stage after 10 d continuous traction at a rate of 1 mm/d on postoperative 4 d.Three rabbits in each group were respectively sacrificed on 7,14,28,56 d of the consolidation stage.The expression of cyclin A,D1,and E of fresh bone tissue in distraction area were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results Cyclin A,D1,and E were strongly expressed in the traction gap on 7,14 d of consolidation stage found,which was strongest on 7 d,moreover the group A,B and C were stronger than the group D.The expression in each group was weakened on 28,56 d.The expression on 7 d in the group B was stronger than that in the4 group A,C and D(P<0.05),the expression had no statistical difference between the group A and C(P>0.05),but all were stronger than the group D(P<0.05);the expression in the group B and C on 14 d was stronger than that in the group A and D,but the expression had no statistical difference between the group B and C and between the group A and D(P>0.05).Conclusion The high expression of cyclin A,D1 and E can promote the cellular division,proliferation and differentiation in distraction area,thus accelerates the new bone formation in the distraction area,prompting that the distraction period is the best time for distraction osteogenesis under gene therapeutic intervention.
