Tumor metastasis, the main characteristic and important indication of malignant tumor, is also the primary cause of death for most cancer patients. The tumor metastasis is a multistep process involving various factors, multiple interactions of many genes as well as the microenvironment. To investigate the mechanism of tumor metastasis will help us understand the essences of metastasis process, therefore exploring molecular targets for clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer.

Objective To observe the intervention effect of different compatibility of aconite and peony in Zhenwu Decoction on experimental nephritis in rats, and explore the connotation of suitable fire and evil fire. Methods Sixty experimental rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, valsartan group, high aconite and low peony group, aconite and peony equivalent group, low aconite and high peony group. All rats except the blank group were made glomerulonephritis model by tail vein injection of monoclonal antibody 1-22-3. Rats were gived continuous gavage administration (blank group and model group were lavaged with NS) after modeling, and killed 2 weeks later. The morphological change of kidney tissues and serum hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6 levels were observed. Results The valsartan group, aconite and peony equivalent group, low aconite and high peony group inhibited the rats mesangial cell proliferation and extracellular matrix expansion significantly, so as the level of hs-CRP, TNF-αand IL-6. The effect of aconite and peony equivalent group was better than low aconite and high peony group, but inferior to valsartan group, while high aconite and low peony group accelerated the progress of the disease. Conclusion The different compatibility of aconite and peony in Zhenwu Decoction has resistance and proinflammatory effect on renal inflammation.

This article was aimed to discuss the mechanism of lactulose enema therapy to improve efficiency among maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with uremic pruritus (UP) from the intervention of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and micro-inflammation state. A total of 60 cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 5, MHD patients with UP were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different intervention methods, which were the control group, loratadine and lactulose group. The integration of kidney disease treatment was adopted in the control group. In the loratadine group, on the basis of the control group medication, oral administration of loratadine, 10 mg/time, once a day, was combined. In the lactulose group, on the basis of the control group medication, lactulose enema, 30 mg/time, twice a day, was combined for 30 days. The pretreatment and posttreatment clinical curative effects were e-valuated among patients from 3 groups. Observation was also made on their itchy visual analogue scale (VAS) and serum PTH, high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL-6) lev-el, respectively. The results showed that there were significant improvements on VAS, PTH and inflammation indexes (i.e., hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6) before and after treatment (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01). Compared to the control group, the posttreatment clinical total curative effects were significantly increased in both the loratadine group and lactulose group (P< 0.05); VAS, PTH and inflammation indexes (i.e., hs-CRP, TNF-α, IL-6) were significantly decreased (P< 0.05). There was no statistical difference of indexes mentioned above in the loratadine group and lactulose group. It was concluded that lactulose enema therapy improve PTH and micro-inflammation state among MHD patients with UP. It is one of the mechanisms to relieve skin itching.

Objective]To research the regulation of L-type calcium channels by Xuanfu Daizhe soup in the lower esophageal sphincter(LES) smooth muscle of rabbit reflux esophagitis model induced by mixed perfusion of hydrochloric acid and bile. [Methods]Established the rabbit model of mixed reflux esophagitis, nifedipine was used to block L-type calcium channel.The muscle tension of L-type calcium channel were compared among groups in the experiments. [Results]The calcium releasing and flowing phase of LES in the model group was higher than that in the normal group, the whole recipe group, sweet-scending group, the getting rid of bitter-reducing group and the getting rid of lifting and declining group( P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the model group and bitter-reducing group, the lifting and declining group and the getting rid of sweet-ascending group( P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the normal group and the whole recipe group in calcium releasing and flowing phase of LES( P>0.05). [Conclusion]The decreasing of reflux esophagitis model LES tension was relevant with the L-type calcium channel dysfunction;Xuanfu Daizhe soup could improve the LES tension by regulating L-type calcium channels. The sweet-ascending group had a remarkable effect among those dismantle prescription groups.

Objective To compare the dosimetric differences of permanent prostate braehytherapy utilizing 131Cs,125 I and 103 Pd seeds.Methods Twenty-five patients with T1-T2c prostate cancer who had previously implanted with 125I seeds were randomly selected in our study.The patients were re-planned with 131 Cs,125 I and 103 Pd seeds by using the Prowess Brachytherpay 3.1 planning system to the prescription doses of 115 Gy,145 Gy and 125 Gy,respectively.The seed strengths were 1.8 U,0.5 U and 1.8 U,respeetively. The prostate,prostatic urethra and anterior wall of the rectum were contoured on trans-rectal ultrasound ima ges.PTV was outlined based on the prostate volume with no margin applied.The attempted planning goals were that V100(tbe percentage volume of the prostate receiving at least 100% of the prescription doses)= 95%,D90 (the minimum percentage dose covering 90% of the prostate volume) ≥100% ,and prostatic ure thra UD10 (the maximum percentage dose receiving by 10% of the contoured urethra)≤150%.For the plan comparison,we also computed prostate V150,prostatic urethra UV120,rectum RV100,and the number of implan ted seeds and needles.The significance of the differences was tested using one way analysis of variance. Results The average V200 in the 103pd,125 I and 131 Cs plans were 28.7% ,20.9% and 19.6% (F=42.50, P =0.000) ;the average V150 were 51.9% ,42.1% and 39.4% (F=26.15,P =0.000) ;the average UV120 were 26.9% ,29.5% and 23.8% (F = 0.37,P =0.691) ; and the average rectum RV100 were 0.31 cm3, 0.22 cm3 and 0.19 cm3(F=0.43,P=0.652).For 103 Pd,124 I and 131 Cs,the average number of implanted seeds per cm3 prostate were 2.02,2.01 and 1.87(F = 1.92 ,P =0.154) ,and the average number of needles were 33.6,32.9 and 31.6(F=0.26,P=0.772). Conclusions Comparing to 124 I and 103 pd seeds used in permanent prostate brachytherapy ,131 Cs seeds has better dose homogeneity,and possible better sparing of the urethra and rectum,with comparable or less implanted seeds and needles.

Strain NCIMB 10467, a lignin degrader, was reclassified as genus Burkholderia according to its 16S rDNA sequence. It seems that the metabolism of protocatechuate by this strain is diverse under the induction of various substrates. A 9505-bp DNA fragment extending from α conserved region of the gene, which encodes β subunit of orthocleavage protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase(P34D; EC 1.13.11.3),was obtained by genome walking. Sequence analysis revealed two deduced open reading frames, pcaG and pcaH, encoding the α and β subunits of P34D respectively in this fragment. The P34D activity could be detected when pcaGH were expressed in E. Coli and the disruption of pcaH in strain NCIMB 10467 has lead to loss of its ability to catabolize protocatechuate. It was proved that the cloned pcaGH were encoding a functional protocatechuate 3, 4-dioxygenase which was necessary for the protocatechuate metabolism in this strain.
