OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of selenium chitosan on differentiation of HL60 cells and its relationship with the c-myc and c-fos protein expression of cells. METHODS:HL60 cells were divided into 5 groups,i.e. 25 mg?L-1 selenium chitosan group,50 mg?L-1 selenium chitosan group,100 mg?L-1 selenium chitosan group,blank control group and positive control group (dimethy sulfoxide). The differentiation of HL60 cells was measured by NBT-reduced method after administration and amount of positive cells was detected. FCM was used to examine the c-myc and c-fos protein expression of cells. RESULTS:As compared with blank control group,differentiation effect of selenium chitosan groups were similar to that of positive control group; NBT-reduced positive cells were increased while c-myc protein expression of cells was decreased(P

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of radiotherapy sensitization role of curcumin in cervical carcinoma Hela cells.Methods Western blot was used to detect expressions of p53, p21, Bax,and Bcl-2 proteins after cervical cancer Hela cells were treated.Results The expressions of p53 and p21 proteins were increased.The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was decreased when curcumin and irradiation were applied to cells alone (P ＜ 0.05).This change were much more obvious when irradiation and curcumin were combined than either of them was used alone(P ＜0.01).Conclusions The mechanisms of curcumin enhancing radiosensitivity on Hela cells might be due to upregulation of p53, p21, and Bax proteins and downregulation of Bcl-2 protein.

Objective To discuss the teaching effects of PBL teaching approach applied in clinical practice of medical oncology.Methods Throush clinical practice of medical onclolgy with the PBL teaching approach and the traditional one.A contrast between two teaching modes was made.And the teaching results were investigated based on the questionaic.Results The PBL teaching approach is superior to the traditional one.Conclusion The PBL teaching approach has an obvious advantage in the teaching of clinical practice of medical oncology and can improve the teaching quality
