Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2014;(11):1164-1167
Objective The liver is the main target of colon cancer metastasis, and liver metastasis is important and difficult in colon cancer therapy.This study was to investigate the synergistic effects of Honghua injection combined with oxaliplatin in treatment of liver metastasis from colon cancer. Methods Spleen-preserving method was used to establish the model of liver metastasis from colon cancer.The model mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group, oxaliplatin group, low dose ( low dose of Honghua injection combined with oxaliplatin) group, medium dose ( medium dose of Honghua injection combined with oxaliplatin) group, high dose (high dose of Honghua injection combined with oxaliplatin) group (n=10).Oxaliplatin were given twice a week at a dose of 5 mg/kg.Honghua injection was given at doses of 2.5, 1.25 and 0.625 g/kg for consecutive 14 days, and the control group received sa-line.After 14 d, all the mice were killed, and the tumor inhibiting rates and liver metastasis rates were calculated.The levels of serum vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) and hepatocyte growth factor ( HGF) were measured by ELISA, and the mRNA expressions of VEGF and HGF in liver were determined by PCR. Results The inhibition rate of low, middle and high dose group achieved 63.2%, 69.2%and 71.4%respectively, which was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.01).Compared with oxaliplatin group,middle and high dose groups showed a significant higher inhibition rate (P<0.05).Compared with control group, the liver metastasis rates in middle and high dose groups significantly decreased from 90%to 60%and 50%respectively (P<0.05).The serum VEGF and HGF levels showed significant decrease in all treatment groups([83.4 ±25.6],[81.5 ±23.7],[75.8 ±19.4],[72.7 ±20.5] pg/mL),([56.2 ±13.8],[55.4 ±15.7],[48.9 ±13.6],[42.3 ±11.8]pg/mL) compared with control group ([125.3 ±36.2], [98.4 ±26.1]pg/mL) (P<0.01).The mRNA expressions of VEGF and HGF in liver were significantly decreased in all the Hong-hua injection combined with oxaliplatin groups compared with control group ( P<0.05) .Compared with oxaliplatin group, the serum VEGF level in high dose group showed a significant reduced mRNA expression of VEGF (P<0.05). Conclusion Honghua injec-tion can significantly enhance the inhibitory effects of Oxaliplatin on liver metastasis from colon cancer, and the mechanism may con-tribute to the inhibition of VEGF expression and the prevention of angiogenesis in liver.
2.Mechanism for baclofen inhibition on quantal glutamate release in spinal dorsal horn neurons
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(09):-
Aim To investigate the inhibition mechanisms of baclofen, a specific GABA B receptor agonist, on quantal glutamate release in the rat spinal dorsal horn neurons.Methods Whole-cell voltage-clamp technique was performed on dorsal horn neurons in rat spinal cord slice to record glutamatergic spontaneous miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs). Baclofen action on quantal glutamate release was assessed by analyzing the change of mEPESC to baclofen perfusion.Results Baclofen(10 ?mol?L -1,50 s) depressed the frequency, but not amplitude distribution of glutamatergic mEPSCs, indicating baclofen presynaptic depression on glutamate release. The depression on frequency of mEPSCs persisted in Ca 2+-free solution, or in the presence of K + conductance blocker, 4-AP. On the other hand, the depression was occluded by forskolin, an activator of adenylate cyclase, but not protein kinase C (PKC) activator phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu). N-ethylmaleimide (NEM), a sulphydryl alkylating agent, which destroys G protein, abolished baclofen depression.Conclusion Not presynaptic K +, Ca 2+ conductance or PKC, but G protein and/or cAMP pathway are involved in the baclofen depression on glutamate release in rat spinal dorsal horn;this depression might contribute to the analgesic action of baclofen at spinal level.

Objective To evaluate the effect of silver needle injection therapy on rat with sports muscle injury. Methods Twenty-one healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the injury group (n = 3),the silver needle group (n=12) and the control group (n=3). The expressions of bFGF and GDNF in gastrocnemius muscle tendon junction were detected on 7 d ,14 d and 28 d post-injury. Results No significant difference in the appearance of the injured tissue was found in both two groups on 7 d post-injury. The appearance of the injured tissue was better in the silver needle group than that in the control group on 14 d and 28 d post-injury. The tissue was almost normal in the therapy group on 28 d post-injury; The expression of bFGF in the therapy group was higher than that in the injury control group on 7 d and 14 d post-injury (P < 0.01). The expression of bFGF markedly decreased in the therapy group compared with the control group (P < 0.01) on 28 d post-injury. The expression of GDNF in the therapy group was higher than that in the injury control group on 7 d ,14 d and 28 d post-injury (P<0.01). Conclusion The silver needle injection therapy has the therapeutic effect on sports muscle injury reparation, which can increase the expression of bFGF and GDNF efficiently.
