OBJECTIVE:To evaluate therapeutic efficacy and safety of chemotherapy combined with Xiaoaiping injection in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer. METHODS:60 elderly patients with advanced gastric cancer were collected from our department during 2012-2014,and then divided into union group and single group with 30 cases in each group. Single group was given irinotecan(CPT-11)150 mg/m2 added into 0.9%Sodium Chloride injection,and union group was addition-ally given Xiaoaiping injection 80 ml,qd,on the basis of single group. A treatment course lasted for 14 days,and both groups re-ceived 4 courses of treatment. The tumor markers,disease single rate,progression-free survival (PFS) and the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:After treatment,the levels of CEA,CA199 and CA242 in 2 groups were significant-ly lower than before;the union group was significantly lower than the single group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The dis-ease single rate of union group was 70.00%,which was significantly higher than that of single group (33.33%). PFS of union group was(11.23±2.17)months,which was significantly longer that of single group [(9.36±0.84)months],with statistical signif-icance(P<0.05). The incidence of leucopenia,alanine aminotransferase elevation,diarrhea,stomatitis and hand-foot syndrome in union group was significantly lower than in single group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Xiaoaiping in-jection combined with irinotecan chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer has obvious effect with a low incidence of ADR.

BACKGROUND:In the early development of zebrafish embryos, cels divide and proliferate rapidly, but low concentration of deguelin can delay the development of zebrafish embryos.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of different concentrations of deguelin on cyclin D1 gene expression in zebrafish embryos.
METHODS:Though normal fertilization, zebrafish embryos that incubated to the 2-cel stage (about 0.75 hour after fertilization) and shield stage (6 hours after fertilization) were colected and put into 12-wel plates treated with 100, 200, 400 nmol/L deguelin at 28.5℃in an incubator til the shield period and 24 hours after fertilization, respectively. Simultaneously embroys treated with 1% dimethyl sulfoxide solution were as a control group, cultured in the same conditions. Cyclin D1 RNA probes were prepared for the whole mountin situhybridization, observing staining by an upright fluorescent microscope camera to detect the effect of deguelin on cyclin D1 expression in zebrafish embryos.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Deguelin showed significant negative regulation on the expression of cyclin D1 gene in zebrafish embryos. Cyclin D1 expressed in outsourcing cels in embryos of shield stage, and a significant reduction in the expression of cyclin D1 came up with the increasing concentrations of deguelin. In the 400 nmol/L deguelin treatment group, there was nearly no expression of cyclin D1. Cyclin D1 expressed in the brain, central nervous system, immature eye, somites, trunk, and tail of embryos at 24 hours after fertilization, and reduced significantly in the 100 nmol/L deguelin treatment group, especialy in the proliferative area. In the 200 and 400 nmol/L treatment groups, the embryonic development slowed down signficantly, and cyclin D1 gene mainly expressed in the dorsal ectoderm cels.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Rheum tanguticum on expression of serum endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), endothelin (ET) and 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α (6-Keto-PGF1α) in uric acid nephropathy rat model. After 3 weeks of treatment with different extractions of Rheum tanguticum on uric acid nephropathy rat model, levels of serum BUN, Cr and UA were measured by biochemical analyzer. ELISA method was used to measure the expression of serum eNOS, ET and 6-Keto-PGF1α. Meanwhile, pathological changes of renal tissues were observed by light microscope. The results showed that compared with the normal control group, the levels of serum BUN, Cr, UA and renal index were higher in the model group (P< 0.05). Compared with the model group, the concentration of eNOS in the model group was obviously higher in the rhubarb ethanol extraction group, rhubarb water extraction group, and allopurinol group (P< 0.05). Concentration of ET was obviously reduced in the rhubarb water extraction group and allopurinol group (P< 0.05). There was no statistical difference with the rhubarb ethanol extraction group. There was no significant difference in the concentration of 6-Keto-PGF1α among groups. Lots of inflammatory cells and uratic crystallization were observed by light microscope in renal tissues among rats in the model group. Damages of renal tissues in medication groups were alleviated than the model group. It was concluded that Rheum tanguticumcan alleviate the damage of uratic crystallization and inflammatory cell infiltration, increase the concentration of serum eNOS, and decrease the concentration of serum ET. Thus, it can reduce the damage of renal endothelial cells and protect renal functions. The effect of rhubarb ethanol extraction on reducing ET expression was less than the water extraction.
