Aim To evaluate the antitumor activity of ruthenium polypyridyl complexes and the underlying mechanism. Methods The right complexes 2b were filtered with highest activity and lowest toxicity by MTT assay. The change of cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry . The expression of p53 and p21 was detected by Western blot. The in vivo antitumor activity of 2b was evaluated by the assay of tumor bearing nude mice. Results 2b potentially inhibited proliferation of a variety of hepatoma cell lines, among which Hep 3B cell was the most significant ( IC50 was 12. 1 μmol · L-1 ) . The apoptosis of Hep 3 B cell was induced by 2b, as evidenced by DNA fragmentation, chromatin condensation and appearance of subG1 peak. The ac-tivities of caspase-9 and caspase-3 were activated by 2b. The phosphorylation of p53 was induced by 2b. The expression of p53 and p21 was also up-regulated by 2b. The growth of tumor of nude mice was signifi-cantly inhibited by 2b in vivo experiment. Conclusion 2b has good in vitro and vivo antitumor activities, and it can inhibite growth of Hep 3 B cells by inducing apoptosis.

The histological and immunohistological features of two cases of cutaneous lymphadenoma was studied. A single, erythematous nodule with smooth surface developed on the face of both patients. The lesion slowly progressed. Histology revealed irregular epithelial lobules in the dermis which showed a peripheral palisaded border of basaioid-like cells as well as a center composed of clear cells. Some epithelial lobules and surrounding stroma were infiltrated by numerous small lymphocytes. Immunohistological study showed that the lymphocytic infiltration was predominantly composed of T cells (CD3 positive) along with a small number of B cells (CD20 positive). Within epithelial lobules and surrounded stroma, there were numerous dendritic cells that were positive for S-100 and CDia but negative for cytokeratin 7, cytokeratin 20 or carcino-embryonic antigen. In the center of epithelial lobules in one case, a few cells positive for epithe-lial membrane antigen and CD30 was observed. The diagnosis of cutaneous lymphadenoma was made according to the pathological and immunohistochemical findings, and the infiltration was predominated by CD3-positive lymphocytes in this uncommon epithelial neoplasm.
