Chinese Journal of Urology 2014;35(8):625-628
Objective To explore the appropriate time to block adrenal androgens in endocrine therapy of prostate cancer.Methods An human androgen-dependent prostate carcinoma xenograft model in SCID mice was established with LNCaP cells.Firstly,the serum PSA and tumor volume of 2 groups (castrated and not castrated) were measured on the 1,4,7,10,14,17,21,28,35,42,49 and 56 day to determine the recurrent time of prostate cancer after castration.Secondly,3 different groups of castration and adrenalectomy at the same time,adrenalectomy in recurrence after castration and sham adrenalectomy in recurrent after castration,were set to measure the serum PSA and tumor volume on the 1,4,7,10,14,17,21,28,35,42,49 and 56 day.The tumor tissues of 5 groups were harvested to measure testosterone concentration,and tumor progress in these groups was compared.Results The recurrence time was 14 days in castrated group,21 days in group with castration and adrenalectomy at the same time and 35 days in group with adrenalectomy in recurrence after castration.The testosterone concentration in tumor tissues was (2.69± 0.21) pmol/g in the group with castration and adrenalectomy at the same time,and (2.16±0.13) pmol/g in the group with adrenalectomy in recurrence after castration,and the difference was significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with the therapy of castration and adrenalectomy at the same time,the therapy of adrenalectomy in recurrence after castration may have slower progress course in prostate cancer.

Thirteen novel oleanolic acid (OA) derivatives were designed and synthesized with modification at positions of C-3, C-12 and C-28 of OA. Their structures were confirmed by MS, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. Their in vitro cytotoxicities against various cancer cell lines (SGC7901, MCF-7 and A549) were evaluated by MTT assay. The results indicated that the tested derivatives were found to have stronger cell growth inhibitory activity than OA. Among them, compounds II2 and II3 showed more potent cytotoxicity on MCF-7 and A549 tumor cells than gefitinib (positive control). They are worthy to be studied further.

Objective To study the integration and differentiation of spinal neural stem cells after transplantation into mice retina. Methods Primary cultured neural stem cells were transplanted into mice retinas,then the integration ratio and the differentiation pattern of the donor cells were estimated with immunohistochemistry method. Results 1.The integration ratio decreased with the age of the host mice.2.The grafts differentiate into both glia and neuronal cells after transplantation.Conclusion The integration and differentiation of the primary cultured spinal NSC were modulated by both endogenous and exdogenous factors,which provided new proofs for the study of the in vivo differentiation of the NSC.

Objective:To establish a method for the content determination of total nitrogen in Nidus Vespae by salicylic acid and sodium hypochlorite spectrophotometry. Methods:The content of total nitrogen in Nidus Vespae from different areas with various batches was detected. Nidus Vespae was treated with sulfuric acid and hydrogen peroxide, and colored by salicylic acid and sodium hypochlo-rite. Using ammonium chloride as the control sample, the content of total nitrogen in the samples was tested at 650 nm. To ensure the method reliability, single factor experiments were performed to study the effects of temperature, reaction time and reagent dosage; or-thogonal experiments were used to screen optimum amounts of phosphate buffer solution, sodium salicylate solution and sodium hypo-chlorite solution. Results:The results showed that the optimum temperature was ambient, and the optimum time was 1. 5h. The opti-mum amount of phosphate buffer solution , sodium salicylate solution and sodium hypochlorite solution was 4 ml,7 ml and 1. 5 ml, re-spectively. The linear range of total nitrogen was 0. 06-0. 78 μg·ml-1(r=0. 9998), and the average recovery was 100. 98% (RSD=2. 10%,n=6). Conclusion:The method can be used to determine the total nitrogen content in Nidus Vespae. The total nitrogen content in Nidus Vespae is various in various areas with different batches.

Objective To probe the effect of transareolar or mastoscopy assisted breast-conserving surgery combined with open axillary lymph node dissection in the treatment of breast cancer. Methods Nineteen patients, with breast cancer of a diameter cm from the nipple, were treated by transareolar or mastoscopy assisted breast-conserving surgery from August 2001 to November 2003.After the lipolysis and suction of axillary fat,open axillary lymph node dissection was performed. Results Intraoperative frozen pathological examination had showed positive margin in 1 case, in which an enlarged excision was required to obtain a negative result. Postoperative subcutaneous edema underlying the operated site occurred in 2 cases and was cured by needle aspiration and pressure dressing. Excellent cosmetic outcomes were obtained with symmetrical breast development and all the patients were satisfied with the treatment. Postoperative follow-up for 2~19 months (mean, 10.6 months) found no recurrence in the breast or the axillary fossa. Conclusions Breast-conserving surgery can be expediently carried out by means of transareolar incision or with the help of mastoscopy. The combination with open axillary lymph node dissection may give favorable effect.
