Acta Medicinae Universitatis Scientiae et Technologiae Huazhong 2000;29(5):380-382
To investigate whether low density lipoprotein (LDL), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), oxidized LDL (OX-LDL) and VLDL (OX-VLDL) could induce the cultured human endothelial cells (ECs) to express high levels of macrophage inflammatory protein lα (MIP-lα) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) mRNA. LDL and VLDL were isolated from normal human blood donors by density gradient ultracentrifugation and oxidized by Cu2+. The cultured human umbilical vein ECs were incubated with native LDL, VLDL, OX- LDL and OX-VLDL respectively, for 24 h, and in the control group no lipoproteins were added. Total cellular RNA was extracted from the cultured ECs by guanidinium isothiocyanate method. The expression of MIP-lα and VCAM-1 mRNA was detected by dot blotting analysis with two probes of digoxigenin-labeled MIP-lα and VCAM-1 cDNA fragments. The results showed that the cultured ECs could express MIP-lα and VCAM-1 mRNA. Incubation of ECs with LDL and VLDL led to a slightly increased expression of MIP-1α and VCAM-1 mRNA, whereas exposure of ECs to OX-LDL and OX-VLDL resulted in a significant increase ofMIP-1α mRNA expression that was 3. 2- and 2. 5-fold as much as that of the control group, respectively, and the VCAM-1 mRNA expression was increased as well, which was 2. 6- and 2. 17-fold as much as that of the control group respectively. It was suggested that lipoproteins especially oxidized lipoproteins could induce the expression of MIP-1α and VCAM-1 mRNA in ECs, which might play an important role in the recruitment of monocytes into the intima.

Objective To discuss the X-knife radiosurgery (XKS) in the treatment of brain metastasis of lung carcinoma. Methods A total of 100 patients with similar prognostic factors were divided into two groups with 50 patients in each group, receiving either whole-brain radiotherapy alone (30~40 Gy/3~4 weeks) (Radiotherapy Group) or XKS combined with radiotherapy (Combination Group). In the Combination Group, 27 patients received XKS with single fraction of radiation, with a median prescription dose of 14.2 Gy, and the other 23 patients received multiple fractions of radiation (5~10 Gy/f, 3 times weekly), with a total dose of 15~30 Gy. Results In the Combination Group and the Radiotherapy Group, the median survival time was 16.4 and 10 months, respectively (P=0.0064), the 2-year local tumor control rate was 88% (44/50) and 44% (22/50), respectively (?2=21.569,P=0.000), and the effective rate under CT or MRI scanning at 1~3 months after treatment was 87.5% (35/40) and 52.2% (24/46), respectively (?2=16.497,P=0.001). An analysis on the cause of death showed that 11.9% of patients (5/42) in the Combination Group died from brain metastasis, which was significantly lower than that in the Radiotherapy Group (55.6%, 25/45) (?2=25.908,P=0.000). The incidence of complications was not significantly different between the Combination Group (8%, 4/50) and the Radiotherapy Group (4%, 2/50) (?2=0.709,P=0.400). Conclusions Combined use of X-knife radiosurgery and routine radiotherapy has better therapeutic effects than radiotherapy alone for treating brain metastatic tumor.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of Chaiqin Chengqi Decoction (CQCQD), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on acinar cells and the changes of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i) in acute pancreatitis (AP) rats. METHODS: CQCQ serum (CQCQS) was prepared by intragastric administration of CQCQD in SD rats, and AP was induced in SD rats by biliary-pancreatic duct ligation method. Pancreatic acinar cells were isolated by collagenase digestion and co-incubated with the drug serum containing CQCQD in vitro, then cell viability was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method and intracellular fluorescent intensity (FI) was observed and analyzed to investigate the changes of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)]i). RESULTS: Both 5% and 10% CQCQS could improve the viability of pancreatic acinar cells in AP rats (P<0.05), and 10% CQCQS was more effective than 5% CQCQS (P<0.05). [Ca(2+)]i was elevated in AP rats (P<0.05), while the level of [Ca(2+)]i elevation was reduced after CQCQS treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: CQCQD has a protective effect on pancreatic acinar cells of AP rats, which may be associated with its inhibition effect on intracellular calcium overload.
