ObjectiveTo compare quantitative proteomic analysis of bromotetrandrine (W198) which was a Class Ⅰ new antitumor drug in China and tetrandrine (Tet) in K562 cell line using 18O-labeling method.MethodsTo illustrate its mechanism,a shotgun quantitative proteomic strategy employing 2D LC-MS-MS and trypsin catalyzed 18O-labeling quantification was carried out in this study.Compared to normal chronic leukemia cell line K562 and K562 induced by Tet,the proteomic changes of K562 induced by W198 were investigated.In order to validate the quantitation by the 18O-labeling,the analysis was done on an equivalent sample composed of the same amount of labeled and unlabeled proteins from normally cultured cells to act as a reference to the comparative sample.ResultsA threshold of ± 2-fold change for deciding whether a protein concentration was changed was settled for the following experiments.Comparing the 105 identified soluble proteins' expression levels of the apoptosis starting up K562 cells after W198 induction with the normally cultured cells,16 proteins were found with significantly altered expression levels after W198 treatment.Eight proteins were up-expressed including HMGB2,peroxiredoxin-2,and eIF4A-I,etc.Eight proteins were down-expressed including TCP-1,GRP94,GST-π,and SFGHs,etc.Compared to K562 induced by Tet,eight proteins of K562 were found with significantly altered expression levels after W198 treatment.Five proteins were up-expressed including HSP 90-β and 40S ribosomal protein S15a,etc.Three proteins were down-expressed including phosphoglycerate kinase 1,isoform 5 of interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3,etc.ConclusionThe 18O-labeling MS-MS-based method is ideal as a discovery tool,but it is not suitable for validation using a large number of samples.Other more effective methods,such as Western blotting should be used for further validation of candidate cancer proteins discovered from 18O-labeling samples.In total,105 soluble proteins were discovered,and 16 proteins were found with significantly altered expression levels after W198 treatment.These repressed or activated proteins are the potential drug targets of W198,which may provide novel targets for future development ofbiomarkers for cancer therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of Toutongning capsule for treatment of headache with stroke-associated risk fac-tors .Methods 60 cases of headache patients with stroke-associated risk factors were selected and divided into the treatment group and the control group ,30 cases in each group .The treatment group were given conventional therapy plus Toutongning capsule while the control group were given conventional therapy only .Results After 4 weeks ,the remission rate of treatment group was 93% and that of the control group was 63% .The attack frequency ,duration and degree between the two groups showed statistically signifi-cant difference(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Additional Toutongning capsule has a better effect for treatment of headache with stroke-as-sociated risk factors.

Objective To discuss basis and operative indications for anterior reversional indication after failures of posterior pedicel screw instrumentation for thorcolumbar burst fracture combined with paraplegia.Methods Clinical data of 21 cases who had failures of posterior pedical screw fixation because of thorcolumbar burst fracture combined with paraplegia were analyzed retrospectively from February 1999 to April 2005.All cases were operated by removing posterior screw device.Meanwhile,one stage anterior cord decompression,correction of kyphosis,fusion with self-ilium or Titanium cage with granule fractured vertebrate and internal fixation was carried out according to clinical symptom and image findings.Spinal cord function and correction of kyphosis were evaluated by Frankel score and Cob angle.Results All cases were operated successfully.After operation,there was rib nerve injury occurred in two cases,leakage of CSF in three and refractory thigh pain in two.The follow up ranging from three months to six years(average 2.2 years) showed good interfixation except for one case had breakage of screw four months after operation.Cob angle of kyphosis recovered from preoperative 16.4? to 5.2??0.3? at follow up.Of all,16 cases had partly recovery of spinal cord function according to Frankel score.(Conclusion)As for thoracolumbar burst fracture combined with paraplegia,anterior approach can attain direct decompression,satisfactory correction of kyphosis and stable fixation and is suitable for most cases.

Objective To investigate the role of p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) in colorectal mucosal carcinogenesis and the relationship between PAK1 expression and biological behavior of colorectal carcinoma. Method PAK1 was detected with immunohistochemical method in 10 normal colorectal mucosas,40 colorectal villous or tubular adenomas and 60 colorectal carcinomas. Results The positive rate for PAK1 was 10.0% in normal colorectal mucesas,and 25.0%, 33.3% and 33.3% in slight, moderate and severe dys-plastic adenomas, respectively, 65.0% was found in colorectul carcinomas. The positive rate for PAK1 in col-orectal carcinomas was higher than that in normal colorectal mucosas(P<0.01), colorectal villous or tubular adenomas(P<0.01), slight dysplastic adenomas(P<0.01) and moderate dysplastic adenomas (P<0.05).The positive rate for PAK1 of poor differentiated colorectal carcinomas was higher than that of high differentiated ones (P<0.05), and the positive rate for PAK1 of patients with lymph node metastasis was higher than that of patients without lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). In clinical stages, the positive rate for PAK1 in Dukes C and D stages patients was higher than that in Dukes A stage patients, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion PAK1 maybe play some role in the process of carcinogenesis of colorectal mucesa, and be used as an useful marker for assessment of the biological behavior and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease( GERD)is caused by dysfunction of lower esophageal sphincter( LES), which allows the contents of stomach and duodenum to reflux into esophagus. Currently,medical and surgical therapies are the main treatment for GERD,but patients need to take life-long acid suppression and the surgical treatment has the risks of potential side effects. Endolumenal therapy as a minimally invasive approach to GERD can safely and effectively relieve the symptoms of GERD,especially Stretta radiofrequency procedure,transoral noninvasive fundoplication( TIF ) and LinX reflux management system. This article reviewed the advances in study on endolumenal therapy for GERD.
