AIM To investigate the poteintation of vincristine-induecd apoptosis by tetrandrine, neferine and dauricine isolated from Chinese medicinal plants in the human mammary MCF-7 multidrug resistant cells. METHODS The apoptotic cells were detected by fluorescent staining of a combination of Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide (PI), flow cytometry and agarose electrophoresis. RESULTS The apoptotic cells induced by vincristine alone accounted for about 10% of all the cancer cells, while the percentage of apoptotic cells induced by a combination of vincristine with tetrandrine, neferine, or dauricine was found to be significantly higher than that by vincristine alone, and their reversal effects were positively correlated with the drug concentration and the exposure time. In addition, tetrandrine was shown to be the most potent in the reversal efficacy among the three compounds to be tested for apoptosis in vitro. CONCLUSION Tetrandrine, neferine and dauricine showed obvious potenitiation of vincristine-induced apoptosis in the human mammary MCF-7 multidrug-resistant cells.

Objective To analyze the status of the treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) in a community health service center in Shanghai Pudong New Area. Methods Clinical data of all patients with AF attended in Hudong Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Pudong from August 2016 to August 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The gender,age,smoking history,drinking history,concomitant diseases, antithrombotic therapy, rhythm control, ventricular rate control drugs, health education, needs for setting up AF clinics in the community were analyzed. Result The study included 220 patients,with average age of (59.7±10.4) years; 34.1%(75/220)patients had hypertension and the blood pressure was controlled in 41.3%(31/75); 20.5%(45/220)patients had diabetes mellitus and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)was controlled well in 26.7%(12/45). Three cases of mitral stenosis were treated with warfarin anticoagulation. Among 217 patients without valvular atrial fibrillation,157 had thromboembolic risk score≥2,20.4% (32/157) of whom used warfarin anticoagulation,10.8% (17/157) used new oral anticoagulant (NOAG) and 58.1% (91/157) had never used warfarin or NOAG anticoagulation. The reasons were as follows:doctors did not prescribe (41.9%, 39/91),patients did not accept (35.2%,32/91), and so on. There were 21.8% (48/220) of patients undergoing drug cardioversion,and 5.9% (13/220) undergoing electrical cardioversion. For control of ventricular rate, 55.9% (123/220) patients used beta blockers,13.6% (30/220) used non?dihydropyridine calcium antagonists, and 23.6% (52 / 220) used digitalise. Less than 55% of patients were given health education of physical exercise,weight management and medicine use. For AF clinic in community hospital,56.8% (125/220) of patients needed,and 17.3% (38/220) very need; 50.0% (110/220) patients trusted and 12.3% (27/220) very trusted in anticoagulation management in community hospitals. Conclusion The anticoagulant rate is relatively low, treatment of concomitant diseases is less satisfactory and the health education might be incomplete in the community surveyed in this study.

OBJECTIVETo explore the indications and effect of surgical resection for hepatic metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma and to discuss the implications of clinicopathologic features on the prognosis.
METHODSA retrospective study of 61 patients undergoing hepatectomy for metastatic tumors from colorectal adenocarcinoma from January 1991 to December 2000 in our hospital was performed retrospectively.
RESULTSThe 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates after hepatic resection were 72.13%, 58.10% and 26.01% respectively. Complications occurred in 8 cases. Tumor pesudomembrance was found in 20 cases. Dukes stage, pathologic type,the number of hepatic metastases and tumor pesudomembrance were all significant factors for prognosis after surgery (P< 0.05). The 3-year survival rate of the patients with postoperative comprehensive treatment was higher than that with non-postoperative treatment (P< 0.05). The size of hepatic metastases and the resecting time didn't affect the prognosis (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe hepatic metastases from colorectal cancer should be treated by a surgical approach. The earlier stage of clinical pathology,higher differentiation extent, metastases less than 3, the formation of pesudomembrance of the metastatic tumor and the postoperative comprehensive treatment predict a better survival.
