Objective Co-stimulation cells is a kind of natual killer (NK)-like T cells, which can kill tumor cells.Previous studies show that lupeol , an natural plant extracts , can change the growth of NK cells ,γδT cells and their effects on tumor cells .This study aimed to investigate the effects of lupeol on human co-stimulation cells and colonic cancer cell lines SW 480 . Methods The peripheral blood mononuclear cells ( PBMC) from healthy volunteers were induced in vitro by different cytokines and transferred into Co-simulation cells.After SW480 and Co-stimulation cells were incubated with different concentrations of lupeol for different durations , methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) was used to detect the effects of lupeol on co-stimulation cells and colonic cancer cell lines SW480. Lactate dehydrogenase was used to determine the cell-killing activity of Co-simulation cells to colonic cancer lines SW 480 . Results The concentration of lupeol in 0.1-200.0 mg/L promoted the growth of Co-stimulation cells and inhibited the colonic cancer cell lines SW480.When the concentration of lupeol is at 12.5 mg/L, the cell-killing activity of Co-simulation cells to colonic cancer lines SW 480 was enhanced significantly compared with the controls (76%vs 40%, P<0.05). Conclusion Lupeol could promote the prolifera-tion of Co-stimulation cells, inhibit the growth of cancer lines SW480, and strengthen the cytotoxicity of Co-stimulation cells against co-lonic cell lines SW480.

Purpose To compare the therapeutic effects of CO2 laser resection and traditional split laryngeal surgery on the early laryn-geal cancer, and to examine relationship between the expression of p27 and PTEN and clinical prognosis in early laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods 85 patients who underwent CO2 laser resection surgery and 46 patients who underwent split laryngeal surger-y were selected and the occurrence rates after surgery were observed. SP immunohistochemical method was uesd to detect the expression of p27 and PTEN in tumor resection marginal and their surgical margine tissues. Clinical data were collected and all patients were fol-lowed up. Results In the more than two-year follow-up study, 14 of 85 patients in CO2 laser treatment group ( recurrent group) pres-ented with local recurrence and the recurrence rate was 16. 5%, while 6 of 46 patients in split laryngeal surgery group presented with local recurrence and the recurrent rate was 13. 0%. There was no statistical significance in recurrence rate between the two groups ( P> 0. 05). 10 of all the none recurrent patients did not follow the doctor’s advice to quit smoking after the operation, while 12 in the recurrent patients did not, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0. 01). The positive rate of p27 and PTEN in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and the cancer adjacent tissues ( negative surgical margin tissues ) was 43. 5% ( 57/131 ) , 80. 2% (105/131) and 48. 9% (64/131), 83. 2% (109/131), respectively, with a significant difference (P<0. 01). The positive rate of p27 and PTEN in laryngeal carcinoma tissues of the recurrent group and non recurrent group was 20. 0% (4/20), 47. 7% (53/111) and 10. 0% (2/20), 55. 9% (62/111), respectively, with a significant difference (P<0. 05). While the positive rate of p27 and PTEN in tumor resection marginal tissues of the recurrence group and non recurrence group was 50. 0% ( 10/20 ) , 85. 6% ( 95/111) and 40. 0% (8/20), 91. 0% (101/111), the difference was also statistically significant (P<0. 01). Conclusions There was no statistically significant difference in tumor recurrence rate between CO2 laser surgery and traditional split laryngeal surgery. Postoper-ative recurrence is closely related to resume smoking. The recurrence rate of p27 and/or PTEN negative patients was higher than that of the opposite ones which should be followed up closely after treatment.

Purpose To study the expression of p53, p21 and Cdk1/p34cdc2 in the laryngeal cancer and its margin tissues and to ex-plore their relationship with local recurrence of laryngeal cancer. Methods A total of 85 patients with early laryngeal cancer were se-lected randomly during 2004 to 2010 in Tangshan Union Hospital, Hebei, China. SP immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of p53, p21 and Cdk1/p34cdc2 in the tumor and margin tissues. Pathological data were collected for follow-up. Results In more than 2 years of follow-up study, 14 of 85 patients with laryngeal cancer presented with recurrence (recurrent group), while 71 patients without recurrence (none recurrent group). The positive rate of p53 protein in laryngeal cancer and its margin tissues was 60. 0% and 36. 5%, respectively, the positive rate of p21 protein in laryngeal cancer and its margin tissues was 38. 8% and 21. 2%, respectively. The positive rate of Cdk1/ p34cdc2 in laryngeal cancer and its margin tissues was 70. 6% and 29. 4%, respectively. p53 protein in the surgical margin of the recurrent group and non recurrent group was 71. 4% and 29. 6% (P = 0. 003), that of p21 was 50. 0% and 15. 5%, (P =0. 004) and Cdk1/ p34cdc2 was 57. 1% and 23. 9% (P =0. 013), respectively. There was no correlation between expression of p53 with p21 protein and Cdk1/ p34cdc2 protein(P > 0. 05). Conclusion p53, p21 and Cdk1/ p34cdc2 may be involved in the occurrence, development and recurrence of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Overexpression of p53, p21 and Cdk1/ p34Cdc2 in the surgical margin is closely related to local recurrence of laryngeal cancer.
