Objective:To establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker ( QAMS) method for the determi-nation of six components ( phillyrin, schizandrol, schisandra ester, deoxyschizandrin, schisandrin B and schisandrin C ) in Liuwei Wuling tablets,and verify the accuracy and feasibility of the method applied in the preparation. Methods:The relative correction factor ( f) of schisandrin B, schisandrin C, schisandra ester, schizandrol, phillyrin and deoxyschizandrin was detected by HPLC at the detec-tion wavelength of 230nm, and the contents of the components in Liuwei Wuling tablets were calculated to achieve the multi evaluation. Meanwhile, the contents of the six components were analyzed by an external standard method and the relative error between the calcula-tion of QAMS method ( Wf ) and the result of the external standard method ( Ws ) was calculated to verify the accuracy of QAMS. The reproducibility of the method was also investigated. Results:The QAMS method was established to determine the contents of 6 compo-nents in Liuwei Wuling tablets, and the components in 10 batches of Liuwei Wuling tablets were determined. The differences between the calculated values and the measured values were small ( RSD < 5%) . Conclusion:The QAMS method is simple, effective and ac-curate in determining the contents of 6 effective components in Liuwei Wuling tablets. The quality evaluation model of QAMS for Liuwei Wuling tablets is validated, which can be used for the quality control of Liuwei Wuling tablets and provide reference for the further study.

The CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell treatment has achieved clinical success in treating B-cell lineage hematopoietic malignancies. This accomplishment involved the precise and efficient elimination of tumor cells by tumor-associated an-tigen-redirected immune cells. As a result, the reinitiation of several CAR T-cell (CART) based clinical trials in solid tumors was promot-ed. However, developing a feasible and efficient CAR T based therapeutic modality for solid tumors is urgently needed given the differ-ential properties between liquid and solid tumors. In this review, we discuss the advances in the management of cytotherapeutic mo-dality for solid tumors. The aspects considered include toxicity management, target selection, and primer or conditioning treatment.

Apoptosis is the autonomous death of cells,which is controlled by the genes and to maintain the homeostasis of the body.Apoptosis is the important mechanism in the cell's growth and development.Recent studies have found that apoptosis can affect the neighboring cells physiological process in microenvironment through directly contact or release a series of regulatory factor,which plays an important roles in the construction of tumor microenvironment.Therefore,understanding the roles of apoptosis in the normal and tumor microenvironment has great significance for further study the pathogenesis,prevention and treatment of tumor.

AIM: To determine whether chronic hypercholesterolemia affects ionic currents on cardiac ventricular myocytes of rats. METHODS: Whole - cell patch - clamp technique was used to record the ionic currents in single cardiac myocytes isolated from normal cholesterolemia and hypercholesterolemia rats. RESULTS: In the hypercholesterol group (group Ⅱ ), serum total - cholesterol level was significantly higher than that of normal group (group Ⅰ) [ (3. 10 ±tricular myocytes of rats, 50% repolarization of action potential duration (APD50) prolonged from (70. 86 ± 8.12) ms (group Ⅰ) to (116.16±6.90)ms (group Ⅱ) (n=10 in each group, P＜0.01); APD90 prolonged from (95.10±7. 27)ms (group Ⅰ ) to (144. 04 ± 7.39)ms (group Ⅱ ) (n = 10 in each group, P ＜ 0. 01 ); at the test potential of - 120 mV, Ik1 increased from ( - 16. 98 ±4. 54) pA/pF(group Ⅰ ) to ( - 19.92 ±4.08) pA/pF (group Ⅱ ) (n = 12 in each group, P ＜ 0. 05 ); at the test potential of 0 mV, ICa- L decreased from ( - 8.56 ± 1.29) pA/pF ( group Ⅰ ) to ( -5. 24 ± 0. 90) pA/pF ( group Ⅱ ) ( n = 10 in each group, P ＜ 0. 01 ); at the test potential of + 60 mV, Ito decreased from (13.20±1.97) pA/pF (group Ⅰ) to (10.30±1.97) pA/pF (group Ⅱ) (n=8 in each group, P＜0. 05). CON-CLUSION: Hypercholesterolemia affects the ionic currents on cardiomyocytes of rats greatly, which may be the ionic mechanism of cardiac toxicity induced by hypercholesterolemia.

Objective To determine how the pulmonary ligament affects the helical CT appearances of the lower thoracic disease on the basis of the anatomic findings. Methods Four cadavers were cut transversely, with the section thickness of 11.3-13.4 mm. 57 patients with the lower thoracic disease were scanned using Somatom Plus 4, with administration of intravenous contrast material. The correlation of the anatomic findings of the pulmonary ligament and the helical CT appearances of the lower thoracic disease was evaluated. Results On cadaver sections, the right pulmonary ligament attached the lower lobe of the right lung to the esophagus, while the left ligament attached the lower lobe of the left lung to the esophagus or the descending aorta. In 40 pleural effusion and 7 pneumothorax cases, the pulmonary ligament tethered the medial aspect of the collapsed lower lobe and limited the shift of the lower lobe. In 40 pleural effusions, the ligament divided the medial pleural space into an anterior and a posterior compartment. The ligament showed thickness due to the invasion of the lesions of lower lobe including 7 tumors and 3 inflammatory diseases. Conclusion The pulmonary ligament can affect the helical CT appearances of the lower thoracic disease, such as lobe collapse, pleural effusion and pneumothorax; while the intraparenchymal and mediastinal abnormality can extend into the pulmonary ligament.

Objective: The present study investigates the effects of Tanreqing injection, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on the proliferation of leukemia cells in vitro and discusses the potential mechanisms. Methods: Tanreqing injection was diluted to a series of concentrations (1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:16, 1:32, 1:64, 1:128, 1:256 and 1:512) by volume and then independently applied to treat chronic myeloid leukemia K562 cells and T cell acute lymphocytic leukemia Molt4 cells at the proliferative stage. Cell growth was observed at different time intervals under a microscope. Cell proliferation was determined by cell counting kit-8 assay and the survival curve was delineated. The inhibitory rate and the half inhibitory concentration (IC50) were calculated. Molt4 cells were stained with propidium iodide (PI) and PI/Annexin V and then the cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by using flow cytometry. In addition, a real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was subjected to detect the expressions of apoptosis-related genes (bcl-2 and caspase-3) after Tanreqing treatment. Results: Tanreqing injection had inhibitory effects on the proliferation of K562 cells and Molt4 cells. The most toxic concentrations were observed between 1:2 and 1:16 where cells were almost necrotic. The inhibitory effect manifested in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 of K562 and Molt4 was 1:333 and 1:142, respectively. After 1:32 Tanreqing injection treatment for 72 h, the number of Molt4 cells in the S phase significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the apoptosis rate markedly increased (P<0.05). In addition, increased caspase-3 expression and decreased bcl-2 expression were also observed (P<0.05). Conclusion: Tanreqing injection can both inhibit the proliferation and promote the apoptosis of leukemia cells in vitro, whereby the potential mechanism seems to be mediated in part by decreasing S phase ratio, down-regulating bcl-2 expression and up-regulating caspase-3 expression.

BACKGROUND: Cyclin-dependent kinase-5 (CDK-5) is one of the members in cyclin-dependent protein kinase family. The attention has being drawn by researchers on the relationship between the expression and distribution of CDK-5 mRNA and its protein in the brain during brain development and neural degeneration in thought-cognition.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the influence of CDK-5 on neurogeny and neural degeneration during cerebral development.DESIGN: Single factor analysis of variance.SETTING: Histological and Embryological Department and Neurobiological Department in Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Histological and Embryological Department and Neurobiological Department in Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. Twenty-five Wistar rats of 5 phases were employed, named embryonicphase (E8-E21), neonatal phase (P0-P15),childhood (P16-2 months), grown-up phase (＞ 2 months) and senile phase (＞ 8 months), 5 rats in each group.METHODS: In situ hybridization histochemistry (ISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was adopted in brain sections from embryonic phase to senile phase.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURFS: Distribution and expression of positive cells of CDK-5 mRNA and protein in various brain areas.RESULTS: Twenty-five rats entered result analysis for all. ① The expression of CDK-5 mRNA presented in entire development from E14 to P350and was in tendency of stability after growth-up. CDK-5 mRNA localized mainly in neurons and positive regions distributed mainly in cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum and a part of nerve nuclei. ② The expression of CDK-5 was strong after birth and it was weaker in embryonic and senile rats. Positive regions concentrated mainly in peripheral ventricle, hippocampus, cerebellum and a part of nerve nuclei.The expression only presented in hippocampus and Purkinje cellular layer of cerebellum in senile rats.CONCLUSION: CDK-5 in brain runs through entire phases of neural development, it expresses more significantly in neonatal phase and childhood and declines after growth-up, especially in senile phase. The declined expression of CDK-5 in hippocampus of senile rats is closely associated with decline of learning and memory in senility probably.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestation and management of acute cholangitis severe type (ACST) with different typos of obstruction. Methods From January 1997 to December 2006, 164 consecutive patients with ACST had been admitted to Chengdu First People's Hospital. All patients were divided into extrahepatic type group (n=122), intrahepatic type group (n=18) and mixed type group (n=24) accord-ing to the types of obstruction. Clinical manifestation and therapeutic outcome of the 3 groups were analyzed using chi-square test, continuity correction test or Fisher exact test. Results There was no significant difference in clinical manifestation between patients with extrahepatic type and those with mixed type (P>0.05). The incidence of jaundice and abdominal pain in patients with intrahepatic type is significantly lower than those with extrahepatic type (P<0.05). The incidences of distention in consciousness and response to initial medical treat-ment were higher than those with extrahepatic type (P<0.05). The total mortality rate was 9.8% (16/164). Of all patients, 123 received open surgery. There was no significant difference in morbidity and mortality in patients with intrahepatic type and mixed type (χ~2=0.172,0.789; 1.769, 1.948, P>0.05). In emergency operation, the incidence of biliary high pressure and postoperative vital sign improvement rates were significant higher in patients with extrahepatic type than the other 2 types (P<0.05). The morbidity and mortality of patients who received emergency operation were higher than non-emergency operation (P<0.05). Conclusions The clinical manifestation of ACST is different between intrahepatic obstructive type and the other 2 types. There is no signi-ficant difference in morbidity and mortality among the 3 types of obstruction. The morbidity and mortality are high in patients who received emergency operation. Proper management of surgical timing is helpful in decreasing the morbidity and motality of ACST.
