Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness and safety of endoscopic submucosal dissection(ESD)for early colorectal carcinoma and its precancerous lesions. Methods The clinical pathologi-cal characteristics,en bloc resection rate,curative resection rate,complications and follow-up results of 21 pa-tients with early colorectal carcinoma or precancerous lesions,who were treated by ESD,were retrospectively analyzed. Results Most lesions were located in left colon,which accounted for 80. 9%(17/ 21).The most com-mon macroscopic morphology(TypeⅠ)was protrusion type(61. 9%,13/ 21),while flat type was the least (14. 3%,3/ 21). The mean procedure time was 79(35-120)min. The en blot resection rate was 100. 0%(21/ 21),and curative resection rate was 85. 7%(18/ 21). Postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient (4. 7%,1/ 21)and postoperative infection occurred in 1(4. 7%,1/ 21)and no perforation was recorded. Tubu-lar adenoma with high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia(LGIEN)was the most occurence(33. 3%,7/ 21),villous adenoma with LGIEN was the least(4. 7%,1/ 21). No local recurrence or metastasis was observed during follow-up of 3-20 months. Conclusion ESD is safe,effective,minimal invasive for early colorectal carcinoma and its precancerous lesions,with optimistic prospect of clinical application.

BACKGROUND: The morbility of rheumatoid arthritis is closely associated with cell apoptosis process. Hyperplasia of synoviocyte lies in the relatively insufficiency of synoviocyte apoptosis. Therefore, induction of synoviocyte apoptosis has clinical significance in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Arteannuin and its derivatives can induce the apoptosis of various cells. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of artesunate on the expression of Fas/FasL and Bcl-2/Bax, which are correlated with apoptosis in synoviocyte of adjuvant arthritis. DESIGN: Randomized and controlled observation. SETTING: First College of Clinical Medical Science, Three Gorges UniversityMATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the laboratories of Immunology and Morphology, Three Gorges University from September 2005 to November 2005. Fifty 8-week-old male Wistar rats of clean grade and (150±21) g were provided by the Animal Experimental Center of Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology; Complete Freud adjuvant by SIGMA, U.S., and artesunate solution by Guilin Pharmaceutical Corporation.rabbit anti-mouse Fas (SC-716), rabbit anti-mouse FasL and Technology (No. SCXK 2004-2007).Complete Freud adjuvant (SIGMA, U.S. No. 093K8932); artesunate solution (Guilin Pharmaceutical Cor); rabbit anti-mouse Fas (SC-716), rabbit anti-mouse FasL multi-antibody (SC-834), goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP multimer, rabbit anti-mouse P53 (M3566) multi-antibody, Bcl-2 (sc-7382) multi-antibody, rabbit anti-mouse Bax (sc-7480) multi-antibody, ABC compound reagent kit and DAB coloring reagent all acquired from Santa Cruz biotechnology (Santa Cruz, USA); methotrexate (MTX) purchased from Shanghai Hualian Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; microscope and image analysis system obtained from Leica (Leica,Germany); microtome (Leica, Germany).METHODS: Fifty rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal group (n =8), model group (n =8), high dose artesunate group (n =8), low dose artesunate group (n =8), artesunate plus methotrexate (MTX) group (n =8), and MTX group (n =8). ①Model construction was referred to literature: Except the normal group with 0.1 mL normal saline, all rats were injected with 0.1 mL complete Freund's adjuvant into the right voix pedis to establish the models of adjuvant arthritis. Since the 13th day after modeling, high and low dose artesunate groups were intraperitoneally injected with 40 and 20 mg/kg artesunate, respectively everyday; artesunate plus MTX group was intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg/kg artesunate everyday and 0.4 mg/kg MTX every three days; MTX group with 0.4 mg/kg MTX solution every three days;model group with 1 mL normal group everyday. ②The arthrosis index (Al) of each group was evaluated before and 13 days after administration; the expressions of Fas/FasL, Bcl-2, and Bax in synovial membrane tissue were examined by immunohistochemistry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES : Al and the expression of Fas/FasL, Bcl-2, and Bax in synovial membrane tissue of each group.RESULTS: Fifty rats were involved in the result analysis. ①Thirteen days after administration, the Al of each experiment group (including model control) was remarkably lower than that before treating (P ＜ 0.01). The Al of eachexperiment group was significantly lower than that in model control group (P ＜ 0.01). ②The expression of Fas/FasL in high and low dose artesunate groups and artesunate plus MTX group was up-regulated significantly compared with that in model group (P ＜ 0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the expression between MTX group and model group (P ＞ 0.05); the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly down-regulated but Bax up-regulated in two artesunate groups,artesunate plus MTX group and MTX group compared with that in model group (P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The findings suggest that artesunate could alleviate adjuvant arthritis, up-regulate the expression of Fas/FasL and Bax, but down-regulate that of Bcl-2, in which the induction of synoviocyte apoptosis may be one of the mechanisms.

BACKGROUND:Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) can inhibit the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but it is uncertain that TMP inhibit the growth and proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells induced by VEGF.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of TMP on the proliferation of HL-60 leukemic cells induced by VEGF.DESIGN:Repetitive measurement and observation.SETTING:School of Medicine, Wuhan University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS:The experiment was carried out in the Molecular Biology Laboratory Center, School of Medicine, Wuhan University of Science and Technology from March to June in 2007. Human leukemic cell line HL-60 cells were purchased from Shanghai Institute of Cell Biology. TMP hydrochloride injection was produced by Wuxi Seventh Pharmaceutical Products Limited (Lot number:011014), protamine sulfate injection was produced by Shanghai First Biochemical Pharmaceuticals (Batch number:010302), and immunohistochemistry kit was purchased from Boster company.METHODS:①Human leukemic cell line HL-60 cells at log phase were used for the experiments. Cells were treated with 100 μg/L VEGF, and then TMP at final concentrations of 1.5, 15, 150 mg/L was added into culture medium. While the cells in medium without TMP were taken as blank control group, and the cells in medium with 20 mg/L protamine as positive control group. Meanwhile cells without treatment of VEGF were served as VEGF control group. After cells were incubated for 48 hours, the growth inhibiting rate of HL-60 cells was detected by MTT assay.②After HL-60 cells were treated with TMP at the final concentrations of 1.5, 15, 150 mg/L for 24 hours, the protein expression of VEGF in HL-60 cells was examined by SP immunohistochemistry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Growth inhibiting rate of HL-60 cells.②Protein expression of VEGF.RESULTS:①Growth inhibiting rate of HL-60 cells:After HL-60 cells induced by VEGF were treated with 15 and 150 mg/L TMP, the absorbance value was significantly lower than that in VEGF control group (P < 0.05).②Protein expression of VEGF:After HL-60 cells were treated with TMP for 24 hours, the protein expression of VEGF was down-regulated with increasing TMP concentration in a dependent manner. Significant differences were observed in the protein expression of VEGF between cells treated by TMP and the controls (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:shRNA, by targeting hTERT mRNA, has no noticeable influence on growth and proliferation of hMSCs, and might be safe for the somatic cells which are normal but do not express hTERT.
