Background and purpose:Bladder carcinoma is the most common tumor in the urogenital system in China. For patients with non-invasive bladder cancer, intravesical therapy is an important part of treatment after complete transurethral resection (TURBt). Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) remains the most effectively used immune agent, and epirubicin (EPI) has been reported to have an improved antitumor activity and high remission rate. However, the results differed significantly from study to study. To compare the efficacy and treatment-induced side effects of intravesical epirubicin versus BCG on postoperative recurrence of non-invasive bladder carcinoma, we completed a meta-analysis of the published literature. Methods:According to the criteria in the paper, we retrieved published comparative studies on intravesical epirubicin versus BCG for non-invasive bladder carcinoma. Data were extracted from each identified paper and Revman4.2 software was used for statistical analysis.Results:6 trials including 1 288 patients were eligible according to the eligibility criteria. Of 657 cases that were treated with epirubicin and 631 with BCG, recurrence occurred in 253 and 184 respectively. Pooling data of a meta-analysis indicated that BCG statistically reduced the incidence of tumor recurrence (Peto OR=1.60, 95%CI=[1.26, 2.03], P=0.000 1). With regard to tumor progression, BCG was also statistically superior to epirubicin (Peto OR=1.70, 95%CI=[1.16, 2.49], P=0.006). 5 studies reported the comparison on main local side effects in terms of hematuria, cystitis or irritative symptoms. Combined results showed that the incidence of hematuria (Peto OR=0.47, 95%CI=[0.35, 0.62], P

Objective To investigate the effect of ovariectomy and estrogen on secretion function and number of pancreatic islet beta cell in low-dose streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Methods Thirty female SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: normal control(NC) group, streptozotocin(STZ) group, ovariectomized(OVX) group, OVX + STZ(OS) group and OVX+STZ+estradiol(OSE) group. OVX, OS and OSE groups underwent ovariectomy, while NC and STZ groups underwent just sham operation. After surgery, OSE group was treated subcutaneously with estradiol 0.2 mg/kg twice weekly. At the end of 3 weeks, STZ, OS and OSE groups were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 40 mg/kg STZ. Then eight days later, plasma glucose and insulin levels were tested. The insulin protein, the average beta cell area and the relative beta cell mass were tested by streptavidin peroxidase conjugation method (SP). The quantification of beta cell apoptosis was performed by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) protein, Bax and Bcl-2 were tested. Results With the administration of low-dose STZ, the plasma glucose was significantly higher and the insulin secretion curve after glucose loading, △I30/△G30 and modified beta cell function index(MBCI) were lower in OVX group than in other groups(all P<0.05). At the same time, the insulin protein, the relative beta cell mass and the beta cell area were dramatically decreased(all P<0.05). The beta cell apoptotic index was increased (t = 2.957, P< 0.05), the expression ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was decreased (0.41±0.03 vs. 0.76±0.05, P<0.05). Estrogen replacement therapy could obviously inhibit these changes. Compared with OS group, glucose disturbances and insulin secretion were improved dramatically in OSE group(all P<0.05); the insulin content, the relative beta cell mass and the average beta cell area were all enhanced (all P<0.05); the beta cell apoptotic rate was decreased(t =2.482, P<0.05), and the expression tatio of Bcl-2/Bax was increased (0.71±0.05 vs. 0.41±0.03, P<0.05). Conclusions The ovx rats are significantly more susceptible to low-dose STZ toxicity than in control rats. Under the effect of STZ, the ability of insulin secretion of beta cell is obviously decreased, while apoptosis is increased, which induces a higher glucose level and a lower insulin secretion. Administration of estrogen may protect OVX rats from the metabolic disturbances.

Objective To investigate the role of voltage-gated potassium channel in the human skin squamous cell carcinoma A431 cells and human keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Methods MTT assay was performed to detect the effect of different concentrations of tetraethylammonium (TEA) on the proliferation of cultured A431 cells and HaCaT cells. Besides, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted to detect the expression of HERG channel protein in A431 cells, HaCaT cells and normal human skin tissue.Results TEA inhibited the proliferation of A431 cells and HaCaT cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner.After treated with TEA (≥ 10 mmol/L) for 24 or more hours, the proliferation of A431 cells and HaCaT cells was obviously suppressed. A significant difference was observed in the average concentration of HERG channel protein between A431 cells, HaCaT cells and normal human skin tissue (49.7114 ± 3.55696 pg/ml, 35.7471 ±4.14696 pg/ml, 36.8857 ± 3.47810 pg/ml, all P < 0.05). Conclusions The block of voltage-gated potassium channel could inhibit the proliferation of A431 cells and HaCaT cells, and the expression of voltage-gated potassium channel seems to be higher in human skin squamous cell carcinoma cells.
