Objective To explore inhibitory effects of ginsenoside on the proliferation of human thyroid canc-er SW579 cells in vitro and expression of C -myc and Bcl -2 protein.Methods Human thyroid cancer SW579 cells were cultured according to conventional method.The study was divided into the control group and ginsenoside group (20,40,8ug/mL).Inhibitory role of ginsenoside on proliferation of SW579 cells was detected by MTT assay.Western-blot method was used to determine expression levels of C -myc and Bcl -2 protein in different group.Results The inhibition rates of 20,40,80μg/mL ginsenoside to SW579 thyroid carcinoma cell were 22.35%,51.76% and 68.24% respectively.Which meaned ginsenoside had obvious inhibitory effect compared with the control group(P <0.01),and inhibition increased with the increase of solubility(P <0.01).C -myc and Bcl -2 protein were reduced progressively in place with the increase of ginsenoside concentration by Western -Blot analysis (P <0.01 ).Conclusion Gisenoside may play the inhibitory role on proliferation of human thyroid cancer SW579 cells in vitro, and its mechanism may be related with down -regulation of C -myc and Bcl -2 protein.

Objective To observe inhibitory effects of Ginsenoside on the proliferation cultured stem cells of human rectal carcinoma in vitro.Methods Tumor stem cells of rectal carcinoma in human were cultured in vitro and divided into saline water group,reltitrexed group(3mg/mL),and Ginsenoside(25μg/mL)plus reltitrexed(3mg/mL) group,with dosage of qd and for 2 weeks.Cells growth was observed under the microscope,and immunofluorescence staining was used to detect CD +133 expression of rectal carcinoma cells.MTT colorimetric method was taken to measure inhibitory of Ginsenoside on proliferation of tumor stem cells of rectal carcinoma.Apoptosis of tumor stem cells of rec-tal carcinoma lead by Ginsenoside was observed by DAPI staining.Results Part of cells were growing up like ball and CD +133 immunofluorescence staining was positive.Inhibitory role of Ginsenoside plus reltitrexed on CD +133 cells of rectal carcinoma appeared on the first day,which was bigger than that of retitrexed by MTT method (P =0.03).Com-pared with the retitrexed group,Gisenoside combined with reltitrexed reduced CD +133 cells expression of rectal carcino-ma,in which optical density and area density of CD +133 cells were obviously decreased with statistical significance (P =0.007,P =0.006,respectively).Conclusion Gisenoside plays the remarkably inhibitory role on proliferation of CD +133 cells of rectal carcinoma.

Obesity is growing rapidly and becomes an important public health problem worldwide. Epidemiologic data revealed that obesity increased the risk of a variety of disease,including digestive system tumor. Therefore,investigating the molecular mechanism of carcinogenic effect of obesity may provide new clues for management of obesity-associated digestive system tumor. In this article,the progress in research on effect of obesity on digestive system tumorigenesis and its potential mechanism were summarized.

Objective To investigate the chnicopathogenical significance of c-jun N-terminal kinase(JNK) and multidrug resistance associated protein 1 (MRP1) expression in colorectal cancer. Methods The expression of JNK and MRP1 was detected in a tissue microarray containing 72 spots of colorectal cancer tissue and 40 spots of nor-mal colorectal tissue by immunohistochemisty. Results The positive expression rate of JNK and MRP1 expression was 47.22% and 51.39% respectively in colorectal cancer,significantly higher than that in normal colon tissue. JNK protein expression was not closely related to gender, age, tumor size and location (P>0.05), but closely related to tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,distsnt metastasis and Dukes staging (P<0.05). MRP1 protein expres-sion was not closely related to gender,age,tumor size,location and tumor differentiation(P> 0.05), but closely relat-ed to lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, Dukes staging (P<0.05). Conclusions The JNK expression in cancer is corrlated with maligant biological behavior and may be involved in the chemotherapeutic resistance by upreg-ulating the expression of MRP1.

The present study reported that 5srRNA from reticulocytes of rabbit could pass into the nucleus of mouse myeloma cells SP2/0,and in the mean time DNA synthesis and cells division were markedly suppressed. In a separate experiment, the rRNA was extracted from embryonic liver and erythrocytes of rabbit or rat and analysed by agarose electrophoresis method. The result indicated that the amount of 5srRNA in various period of the development of erythrocyte is changed along with denucleation process. Thus it is likely that 5srRNA of mammalian erythrocyte plays a role in reversing malignant phenotype of tumor cells and promoting denucleation of mammalian erythrocyte through inhibiting DNA synthesis.

Objective To investigate the effects of Saccharomyces boulardii ( S. boulardii) on the col-onization of Helicobacter suis ( H. suis) in stomach and the formation of gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) during H. suis infection. Methods Sixty C57BL/6 wild type mice were randomly divided into six groups. The mice in group A and group B were respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii twice by gavage and then infected with H. suis for one week. The mice in group C and group E were given sterile phos-phate buffer saline by gavage for one week and then respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii by gavage twice a week for 12 weeks. The mice in group D and group F were infected with H. suis for one week and then respectively given sterile distilled water and S. boulardii by gavage twice a week for 12 weeks. Serum and gastric tissue samples were collected from each mouse. Results The bacterial loads of H. suis in the stomachs of mice in group B were significantly lower than those in group A. No significant differences in the levels of se-creted IgA( sIgA) in serum and gastric tissue samples and the expression of IFN-γat mRNA level in gastric mu-cosa samples were found between the two groups. The expression of H. suis 16S RNA and the formation of gastric lymphoid follicles were detected in mice in groups D and F. The levels of sIgA in serum and gastric tissue sam-ples and the expression of IFN-γ and CXCL13 at mRNA level in gastric mucosa samples increased significantly in groups D and F as compared with groups C and E. Compared with the mice in group D, the bacterial loads of H. suis in stomachs, the numbers of MALT per unit length of gastric mucosa and the expression of IFN-γ and CXCL13 at mRNA level in gastric mucosa decreased significantly in mice from group F, but the levels of sIgA in serum and gastric tissue samples increased significantly. Conclusion S. boulardii could inhibit the colonization of H. suis in stomach and suppress the formation of gastric MALT during H. suis infection.
