Background and purpose:Backgrounds and Objective: Oxaliplatin is a third-generation platinum compound,there are some distinct differeuces in mechanism between cisplatin and oxaliplatin,and oxaliplatin is less toxic Poorly differentiated cartinoma is the most common histological type,for nasopharyngeal carcinoma,although radiotherapy is the basic therapeutic approach to nasopharyngeal carcinoma,chemotherapy is also important for recurrent and metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma,so in this work we analyzed the effects of oxaliplatin on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines in vitro.Methods:CNE2 was incubated with oxaliplatin at various concentrations and times,cell growth inhibition was assessed by MTT-microculture tetrazolium assay,cell-cycle kinetics and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry and microscopy transmission electron.Results:Growth of CNE2 cells was significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent and time-dependment fashion.The inhibition of cell growth inhibition was(95.6?0.7)% after incubation with 100 ug/ml oxaliplatin for 48 hours,the cell was arrested at G_(2)/M and apoptosis was induced.When CNE2 cells were treated with oxaliplatin at the concentration of 0、0.03、4.0、100 ?g/ml,the rates of CNE2 cell apoptosis were(0.19?0.17)% 、(0.37?0.09)%、(5.50?1.08)%、(9.43?0.09)%,respectively.24 hours after 20 ?g/ml the CNE2 cells were characterized by chromatin condensation,chromatin crescent formation,nucleus fragmentation and apoptosis body by transmission electron microscopy.Conclusions:Oxaliplatin suppresses the growth of CNE2 cells in vitro by causing cell-cycle arrest and cell apoptosis.

Clinical islet transplantation is currently being explored as a treatment for its superiorities of lesser in vasive,lower risk,avoiding or preventing chronic complications.Because of the difficulty in isolation,purification and transplantation,the yield of islet is lower than needed;shortage of donor,difficulty in obtaining adequate islet cells for sustaining B cell mass and function over time,and immune rejection reactions are the hurdels to widespread application of islet transplantation.

In recent years,thyroid cancer incidence increased year by year,after the effective prevention of iodine deficiency disorders in many countries,which caused widespread attention in academia.Whether is this increasing trend related to the implementation of policy of iodized salt in many countries? Currently,the association between iodine intake and thyroid cancer is unclear.This review article describes the metabolic and nutritional status of iodine,and the epidemiology of thyroid cancer,and further elaborates the relationship and the pathogenesis of iodine and thyroid cancer.

ObjectivesTo study the mechanism of brain damage caused byStaphylococcus epidermidis (SE) in mice. Methods A total of 80 neonatal mice of postnatal day 1 (PND1) were divided into SE group (48 mice), normal saline (NS) group (16 mice) and control group (16 mice). Mice in SE group were intravenously injected with 50 μl SE (108/ml). Mice in NS group were given 50 μl NS. Mice in control group were not intervened. At different time points after SE injection (6 h, 24 h, 72 h, 5 d, 7 d), the CFU of brain, blood, and spleen were calculated. Serial sections of parafifn-embedded brain tissue were used for detection of ionized calcium-binding adaptor moleculor1 (Iba-1) by immunohistochemical staining. The positive cells were calculated. ELISA was used to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-5 (IL-5), interleukin-6 (IL-6) of brain at 6 h and 24 h after SE injection.Results There was no SE in brain in different time points. The CFU was at the highest level at 6 h and then decreased after 24 h in blood and spleen. The Iba-1 positive cells in SE group were signiifcantly increased compared to NS group and control group at 24 h and 72 h (P<0.05). There was no difference of Iba-1 positive cells be-tween 24 h and 72 h after SE injection (P>0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-5, and IL-6 were signiifcantly higher in SE group than those in NS and control at 6 h and 24 h (P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-5, and IL-6 were signiifcantly lower in SE group at 24 h than those in SE group at 6 h (P<0.01).Conclusions It is suggested that cytokines produced by microglias may be the mediators of SE-caused brain damage.

Objectives To study the influence of Staphylococcus epidermidis (SE) on the neonatal mice of different ages. Methods A total of 60 neonatal mice including postnatal day 1(PND1) and postnatal day 3(PND3) were divided into SE group, normal saline (NS) group and control group, with 20 mice each. Mice in SE group were intravenously injected with 50μl SE (108/ml). Mice in NS group were given 50μl NS and mice in control group was not intervened. On postnatal day 14, the brain, liver and spleen obtained from mice were weighted. Serial sections of paraffin-embedded brain tissue were used for the detec-tion of microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2) and myelin basic protein (MBP) by immumohistochemical staining, and then the areas and volumes of grey and white matter were calculated. Result The mortality of PND1 mice in SE and NS group was 60.0%and 40.0%, respectively, and there was no difference between two groups (P>0.05). The mortality of PND3 mice in SE and NS group was 10.0%and 0.0%, respectively, and there was no difference between two groups (P>0.05). There were no dif-ferences in body weight, body weight gain, spleen and liver weights and organ coefficient between PND1 and PND3 mice (P>0.05). In PND1 mice, the areas and volumes of grey and white matter were significantly smaller in SE group than those in NS group (P<0.05). However, in PND3 mice, there was no differences in areas and volumes of grey and white matter between SE and NS group (P>0.05). Conclusions SE infection can result in brain injury in PND1 mice, but has no effect on brain tissues of PND3 mice.
