1.Adjuvant chemotherapy and neo-adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer
Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(10):649-653
Gastric cancer is common in the world. Only 40 % of the patients can be treated by radical operation. Even for those patients who undergo radical resection, the rate of recurrence or distant metastasis is high. To increase the chance of curative surgery and improve survival for gastric cancer, combined-modality treatments have been investigated. There are different therapeutic modes, chemotherapeutic regimens and treatment results between Eastern countries and Western countries. The current status and advance on the adjuvant and neo-adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer were reported.
2.Preparation of Monospecific Polyclonal Antibodies Against Glechoma hederacea Agglutinin
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;33(11):1113-1119
Glechoma hederocea agglutinin (Gleheda) is a novel glycosylated lectin isolated from the leaves of G. hederacea. Like other glycosylated proteins, the detection of Gleheda by immunological methods is often hampered by the cross-reactivity of the polyclonal antibodies with unrelated glycoproteins. Hence a protocol to purify monospecific polyclonal antibodies from a crude antiserum raised against Gleheda was developed. After selective ammonium sulfate precipitation and successive affinity chromatography on columns of Sepharose 4B with immobilized Gleheda and Robinia pseudoacacia agglutinin (RPA), respectively, ion-exchange chromatography on a column of Q Fast Flow was used for further purification. The specificity of the antibody fractions from each step was tested by double immunodiffusion assay and analyzed by Western blot. Results revealed that affinity chromatography of the immunoglobulin fraction on the immobilized Gleheda antigen yielded an antibody preparation that still cross-reacted with many proteins in leaf extracts. Depletion of nonspecific cross-reacting antibodies directed against the glycan part of the glycoprotein by affinity chromatography on immobilized RPA removed most but not all nonspecifically reacting antibodies. Only upon further purification by ion exchange chromatography an IgG fraction of monospecific antibodies that reacted exclusively with Gleheda could be obtained and accordingly was suitable for immunodetection studies. This antibody purification procedure promises simplicity and efficiency. In addition, this method does not require expensive facilities.

6.Apoptin induces apoptosis in tumor cells
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(5):330-333
Apoptin,a chicken anemia virus-derived protein.selectively induces apoptosis in trans-formed or tumor cells but not in normal cells.The tumor specificity of apoptin is thought to be related to its cel-lular localization.The apoptin-induced apoptosis is p53-independent and can not be blocked by overexpressionof Bcl-2.But activation of Caspase-3 is essential for apoptin-induced apoptosis.These features make apoptin a potential candidate as a novel therapeutic and diagnostic tool in cancer treatment.

Basic & Clinical Medicine 2006;0(09):-
Objective To probe the methods of experimental research for the drug activities of the rat prostates. Methods With androgen and Staphylococcus aureus injected into the prostates, the bacterial prostatitis (BP) models and benign prostatic hyperplasia with bacterial prostatitis (BHP-BP) models were developed. The animals were fed with tetracycline and then the drug activities in the serum and the prostatic tissues, the quantities of the bacteria and the histopathlogical changes in the prostateic tissues were separately detected in different time. ResultsAfter ten days, the histopathlogical changes of the benign hyperplasia and mesenchyma were found in the prostatic tissue from BHP animals and acute suppurative inflammation were dicegnosed in prostatic tissue from the BP group after infected for two days. The drug activities of 22.44 mg/g in BP group and 20.26 mg/g in BPH-BP group were found until 3.5~4 hours and the values were higher than MBC of the tetracycline and the antibacterial activity of the sera at the same time. After 8 to 11 days of treating, the bacteria would not be isolated from the prostates of the animals with BP or BHP-BP. Stopping treatment a week 11 days after treating acute or chronic inflammation histopathlogical change did not be found in the prostates of animals with BP. 30 CFU of bacteria could be found in per gram tissue of prostate and both of the acute and chronic suppurative inflammation could be found in the BP group without treatment at the 28 days afterinfected.Conclusion The tetracycline activities in the prostates of rats with BP or BPH-BPis same as or even higher than that of serum and the MBC of the drug. The quantity of sensitive bacteria in prostates will be diminished and disappeared during treatment.

China Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Pharmacy 2005;0(08):-
Objective: To analyze the published domestic documents of the clinical trial for treatment of anal fissure in past 10 years, to evaluate the quality of literatures about anal fissure randomized controlled clinical trials, and to provide references of clinical studies for the treatments of anal fissure in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Methods: In term of principles of evidence-based medicine, we evaluate the published domestic literatures of the randomized controlled clinical trial for treatments of anal f issure in past 10 years. Results: We analyze 52 literatures which are in the method of randomized controlled clinical studies. 28 literatures (accounting for 53.85%) record diagnostic criteria, 38 literatures (accounting for 73.08%) make sure standards of evaluating the effect and 18 literatures (accounting for 34.62%) mention comparability between groups without describing the baseline statistics. Only 5 are marked as a funded research projects. Conclusion: in current published literatures of randomized controlled study for treatments of anal fi ssure, the problems are focused on: ① Experimental idea is unclear and design is unreasonable, ② The description of implemented process in randomized control is unspecif ic, ③ Signifi cant parameters in statistical data are missed and with less credibility, ④ Criteria of diagnosis and effi cacy are different, ⑤ Evaluation indicators are fuzzy. All above clue to the quality of clinical research needs to be improved rapidly, and standardized evaluation of eff icacy also needs to be created urgently.
