Objective To study the effect of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae (RSM), a kind of Chinese Traditional Medicine which can dissolve stasis by activating blood circulation, on proliferation, invasion, adhesion, migration and metastasis of B16-BL6 metastatic mouse melanoma cells and discuss its functional mechanism. Methods The proliferation, adhesion, invasion and migration capacity of B16-BL6 metastatic cells was evaluated by MTT assay, adhesion assay and reconstituted basement membrane invasion and migration assay in vitro respectively. Mouse spontaneous melanoma model was used to study the effect of RSM on metastasis in vivo. Results The extract of RSM bidirectionally adjusted the multiplication of B16-BL6 cells, promoted prominently the adhesion of B16-BL6 to Laminin, inhibited significantly B16-BL6 invading reconstituted basement membrane and the migration of B16-BL6. In the mouse spontaneous melanoma model, it suppressed significantly the volume of lung metastatic nodes but had little effect on the number of lung metastatic nodes. Conclusion The extract of RSM can alleviate the degree of the metastasis of B16-BL6 metastatic mouse melanoma cells, which may be related with inhibiting the B16-BL6 cells invading the extracellular matrix and reducing the migration of B16-BL6 cells.

AIM: To study the in situ stimulation effect of compound aluminum sulfate injection after i.m. in rabbit quadriceps and dog bladder. The absorption of aluminum and the healing of the bladder wall were also studied to give an evaluation on the safety of the compound injection. METHODS: Compound aluminum sulfate injection was i.m. injected into quadriceps of the rabbits. The in situ stimulation effect was observed macrographically. Blood samples were collected at different time after i.m. injection. Aluminum concentrations were determined by ICP-MS assay and simulated with DAS software. Tissue necrosis as well as the healing of the bladder wall were observed macrographically or pathologically after the injection was given into dog bladder. RESULTS:Severe stimulation was observed after intra quadriceps injection, however, there was no obvious elevation of blood aluminum concentration. The average AUC0-24 was 2.93±1.82 mg·h·L-1 (n=5), corresponding to a relative bioavailability of about 2.77%. Injecting in bladder muscle necrotized the bladder wall in situ, but fibroblast generated and took place of the necrotized membrane and muscle four weeks after injection. There was no bleeding or perforation on the bladder wall. CONCLUSION:Caused compound aluminum sulfate injection in situ necrosis which healed up in 4 weeks. Aluminum absorption is very low after injection, giving a further explanation to the safety of the compound injection.
