Objective It has been known that NSAIDs can inhibit the growth of tumors through cyclooxygenase, but it is unknown that whether there are other mechanisms involved. It is essential to detect the effect of indomethacin for proliferation and apoptosis in the HCT116 and explore its anti tumor mechanism. Methods Human colon adenocarcinoma cell line HCT116 was treated with different concentration of indomethacin for 24 h and CDK 2,CDK 4, Bcl 2, Bax and p21 WAF1/CIP1 protein were detected by Western blot. Results Indomethacin down regulated the expression of CDK 2, CDK 4, Bcl 2 and up regulated the expression of p21 WAF1/CIP1 , however, the expression of Bax remained unchanged. Conclusions Inhibiting proliferation and inducing apoptosis contribute to the anti tumor activity of indomethacin by down regulating the expression of CDK 2, CDK 4, Bcl 2 and up regulating the expression of p21 WAF1/CIP1 .

Objective To ensure the quality of field operation materials, and enhance rescue ability of medical corps in field condition. Methods Materials for package and sterilization were tested and selected for new way of package and sterilization instead of the traditional cotton. Results Sheet package was preserved in normal condition. Every month the microorgarism in sheet package was sampled. There were no bacteria in the operation items in the half-year sampling. So the period of validity was prolonged from one week to half year. Conclusion With the new package sterilization method, the work load of nurses is alleviated and the expenses on repeated sterilization due to short term of validity are also reduced. At the same time, operation infection rate and death rate are decreased so that the battle injury rescue level was raised.

Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by certain genera of toxigenic fungus and frequently oc-cur in food worldwide. Humans and animals can be simultaneously exposed to different mycotoxins through the diet. As most mycotoxins are highly toxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic, they have posed grave health threats to consumers. Determination of mycotoxins and their main metabolites in blood, urine, bile, milk or faeces can serve as biomarkers and can facilitate effective exposure assessment, crucial to estimate mycotoxin related dis-ease risk. According to reason mentioned above, the study of metabolism and evaluations of mycotoxins in biologi-cal fluids have been paid increasing attention since the results may offer valuable indications on the real risk for consumers. Therefore, it is important to develop proper analytical methods for the rapid quantitative and qualita-tive measurement of mycotoxins and key metabolites in vivo. This paper reviewed some biomarkers and their harm to animals and humans, systematically summarized the research progress of analytical methods and prospected the development trends.

A rapid and sensitive analytical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of fumonisins B1 and B2 in traditional Chinese medicines by HPLC-MS/MS. The detection limits for fumonisins B1 and B2 were 0.25 ng x mL(-1) corresponding to 2 microg x kg(-1) in samples. Recoveries from different samples spiked with fumonisins B1 and B2 at levels ranging from 0.2 to 3 mg x kg(-1) were 84.0%-96.1% and 86.3%-99.3%, respectively. Among the total of 34 samples purchased from local markets, ten samples of which were visibly moldy samples due to inappropriate storage, and 24 were normal samples. The results showed that 6 of the visibly moldy samples and 5 of the normal samples were contaminated with total fumonisins at levels ranging 82.4-2349 microg x kg(-1) and 102-729 microg x kg(-1), respectively.

Objective:To explore the vailation of serum sP-selectin,sE-selectin,levels in the patients of pre-diabetic,simple type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and T2DM with coronary heartdisease(CAD).To investigate the possible mechanism that sP-selectin, sE-selectin accelerate type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: Level of serum sP-selectin, sE-selectin was assayed by ELISA in type 2 diabetes with or without coronary heart disease (32 and 34 cases respectively),pre-diabetic (32 cases) and control group(32 cases). Meanwhile BMI,BP,FBS,FINS,TG,CHO,HDL-C,LDL-C,HbA1C were determined in all cases as well as in control group.Results:The serum levels of sP-selectin and sE-selectin in pre-diabetic,type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without coronary heart disease groups were significantly higher than the control group ( P<0.01 ).There was significant positive correlation between serum levels of sP-selectin,sE-selectin and these items including FBG ,FINS,TG,HbA1C,HOMA-IR(P<0.01);but sE-selectin was negatively correlated with HDL-C (P<0.05).Conclusion:sP-selectin,sE-selectin,are risk factors in the initiation and progression of pre-diabetic,type 2 diabetes with or without coronary heart disease;sP-selectin and sE-selectin possibly accelerate type 2 diabetes by inducing insulin resist-ance.

Objective As we know more about CVA and examination methods are becoming more popular,the number of patients diagnosed as CVA is increasing year after year.So it is necessary that we should find more clinical characteristic and therapy for CVA.Methods 155 CVA patients have been observed for 2 years and the results of bronchial methacholine chloride provocation test before and after the observation were analyzed.Results 30% of the patients werent analyzed because they did not take the drugs regularly.The result showed that the CVA male vs female was 1 ∶4,the average age was(40?7.2)years.20 patients developed typical asthma(12.94%).After 2 years,70% of the patients had positive results of the bronchial methacholine chloride provocation.Methacholine chloride concentration was negatively related to hyperresponsiveness of bronchus.FEV_1% was negatively related to the state of asthmatic degree.Conclusions The CVA was incident to the young and the middle-age females,often with an obvious inducement.The female prognosis was worse than that of the male.Generally speaking,the prognosis was good if patients took medicine regularly.Patientscompliance was the essence of the prevention and the cure.Young females who had chronic cough indicate CVA.The concentration of methacholine chloride and FEV_1% were effective indexes when we estimated the state and prognosis of CVA.In most CVA patients,the hyperresponsiveness stayed for a long time,which may be one of the most dangerous risks.We should keep on observing and treating those patients.
