Objective To discuss intervention effects of Buyang Huanwu decoction on pulmonary fibrosis (PF) rats. Methods Totally 144 healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups:sham-operation group, model group, prednisone group, Buyang Huanwu decoction high-, medium-, low-dose groups, 24 rats in each group. Except for sham-operation group, the rest groups were given injection of BLM via tracheal intubation for the establishment of PF model, while sham-operation group was instilled the same amount of NS. From the second day, all the rats received a gavage by related medicine. Eight rats in each group were killed respectively on day 7, 14 and 28 after intratracheal instillation. The contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum of experimental rats were tested by radioimmanoassay method. Results Compared with the sham-operation group, the contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum of other groups increased gradually, and that of the model group was the most obvious (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, each medicine group had different decreases in the contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum (P<0.01). Compared with the prednisone group, the contents of PCⅢ and Ⅳ-C in blood serum of Buyang Huanwu decoction medium-dose group obviously decreased on the 14th and 28th day (P<0.05), as well as that of Buyang Huanwu decoction low-dose group on the 28th day (P<0.05). Conclusion Buyang Huanwu decoction could effectively reduce proliferation of collagen fibers and excess deposition of ECM in lung tissue of PF, and played an anti-fibrosis effect on lungs.

Cancer stem cells are a subclass of stem-cell-like tumor cells.They have an apparently higher tumorigenicity than other cell populations within the same tumor.They play a Very important role in genesis,development and maintenance of cancer.The data from research in leukemia and solid timors suggest that in each cancer tissue,only a small fraction of the cells have the ability to initiate tumor,which are called cancer stem cells.In recent years,with in-depth research on stem cells and cancer stem cells,accumulating evidence suggests that cancer stem cells are the cause of malignant tumor metastasis and recurrence and are resistant current callcer drugs.Drugs targeting cancer stem cells are urgently needed. Flow cytometry and magnetic cell sorting using the identified tumor stem cell surface markers are mainly used to separate cancer stem cells or stem cell-like cells. In this article,the concept of cancer stem cells and the commonly used approaches to isolate and identify cancer stem cells,especially for gastric cancer stem cells will be reviewed.

The effects of pioglitazone on the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1 α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in renal tissues of diabetic rats were observed. Diabetic rat model was established by feeding high-carbonhydrate-fat diet and injecting streptozotocin. After the treatment with pioglitazone, the kidney index, 24 h urinary albumin, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), total cholesterol,triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol of diabetic rats were significantly lower than those of untreated ones, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was increased, the expressions of HIF-1α and VEGF in renal tissue were decreased ( all P<0. 01 ). It suggested that pioglitazone may improve renal function and the balance of glucose-lipid metabolism in diabetic rats via down-regulating HIF-1/VEGF pathway.

Objective To study the function of γδT lymphocytes in patients with lung cancer.Methods γδT lymphocytes in peripheral blood of the 124 preoperative patients with lung cancer(experiment group) and 56 healthy donors(control group) were detected by Flow Cytometry. Results The percentage of γδT cells(CD+3 γδTCR+) was (6.54±2.90) % in control group and (3.76±2.81) % in experiment group (t =3.568,P <0.001). The γδT cells in peripheral blood of patients with lung cancer was less than that of healthy donors (t =3.568, P <0.001). There was significant difference in expression of γδT cells in the peripheral blood between the all test groups and healthy control group (P =0.000). Compared with control group, γδT cells of the peripheral blood in experiment group were correlated with TNM stage, general types, pathological changes position and histology grades (P <0.05). The expression of γδT cells in the peripheral blood were not associated with age, gender (P >0.05). Conclusion The results suggested that the dysfunction of γδT had important function on the development of lung cancer.

Objective:To systematically assess the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab (BEV) plus chemotherapeutic agents as first-line therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Methods:We retrieved randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs) of BEV plus chemotherapeutic agents as first-line therapy for mCRC from the databases of PubMed (1966 to August 2009), Embase (1974 to August 2009), Cochrane Library (Issue 3, 2009), China Journal Full Text Database (CJFD, 1994 to August 2009), Chinese Bio-medical Literature Database(CBM, 1978 to August 2009) and Chinese Scientific Journals Full Text Database (CSJD, 1989 to August 2009). Then we evaluated the methodological quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0 software developed by the Cochrane Collaboration. Results:Only 6 clinical studies were selected and 2 646 eligible patients were included in the systematic review. Meta-analysis showed that BEV plus chemotherapy increased the overall response rate (complete response+partial response) compared with chemotherapy alone. The relative risk was 1.27 (95%CI: 1.00-1.61, P=0.05), and the median survival time and progression-free survival (PFS) were longer. In terms of safety, there was a significant difference in the frequency of grade 3/4 adverse events, grade 3/4 hypertension, adverse events-induced study discontinuation and gastrointestinal perforation between the two groups. The relative risk was 1.12 (95%CI: 1.07-1.61), 4.51 (95%CI: 2.81-7.23), 1.37 (95%CI: 1.16-1.63)and 4.32(95% CI:1.24-15.05), respectively. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the incidence of grade 3/4 bleeding, 60-day all-cause mortality, grade 3/4 proteinuria, grade 3/4 diarrhea, grade 3/4 leukopenia and pulmonary embolism. The relative risk was 1.50(95%CI: 0.87-2.57), 0.71(95%CI: 0.45-1.11), 2.26(95%CI: 0.69-7.33), 1.18(95%CI: 0.99-1.41), 1.17 (95%CI: 0.97-1.42)and 0.84(95%CI: 0.46-1.53), respectively. Conclusion:BEV plus chemotherapeutic agents as first-line the-rapy increases the response rate and prolongs PFS and median survival time of mCRC patients, but results in a higher incidence of any grade 3/4 adverse event, grade 3/4 hypertension and gastrointestinal perforation.
