Objective To investigate the growth inhibition and apoptosis induction effect of vitamin E succinate on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and to analyze the modulation of Fas expression in this process. (Methods) Estrogen receptor positive MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were treated with VES for 12h, 24h and 48h. The concentrations of VES were 5?g/mL, 10?g/mL and 20?g/mL. The inhibitory effect was measured with MTT method and the cell cycle and cell surface Fas expression were analyzed with flow (cytometry). Fas protein level was detected by Western blotting assay. Results VES had significant inhibitory effect on the growth of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and the effect was dependently related to time and dosage. The apoptotic rate rose from 1.2% to 11.2%,16.4%, 41.2%,after treated with VES for 48h at the concentrations of 5?g/mL,10?g/mL,20?g/mL respectively. Fas protein level and cell (surface) Fas expression in cancer cells increased after the administration of VES. Conclusions VES had (significant) growth inhibition and apoptosis induction effect on MCF-7 estrogen receptor positive breast cancer cells. The mechanism was related to Fas upregulation on the surface of cancer cells.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects and the mechanisms of Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (Fp) on trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid-induced colitis.Methods Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into healthy control group, colitis model control group, Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group.Disease activity index (DAI),histological injury of colonic tissue,the content of butyrate in feces,forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3) regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood and spleen and the level of interlenkin (IL)-17 and IL-6 in serum were evaluated.All the data were statistical analyzed by single factor analysis of variance. Results Compared with colitis model control group, DAI significantly lowered and histological injury obviously improved in Fp pretreated group, Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group.The effects of Fp pretreated group were better than those of Fp treated group and Fp supernatant pretreated group were better than Fp supernatant treated group.The concentration of butyrate in Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group was (3091.08 ±485.50) × 106 mol/L,(1714.64 ± 351.25) × 10(-8) mol/L,(2064.75 ± 295.04) × 10-6 mol/L and (1089.13±321.23) × 10-6 mol/L respectively,there was significant difference between Fp pretreated group and other groups (F=49.796,P<0.01).The peripheral blood level of Foxp3+ Treg in Fp supernatant pretreated group was highest.The spleen level of Foxp3+ Treg in Fp pretreated group and Fp supernatant pretreated group were significantly higher than that of other groups.The serum level of IL-17 and IL-6 in Fp pretreated group,Fp supernatant pretreated group,Fp treated group and Fp supernatant treated group was significantly lower than that of colitis model group.Conclustons Fp plays a role in promoting the repair of intestinal inflammatory reaction in colitis model rats.The mechanism may be related with butyrate producing,the peripheral blood and spleen level of Foxp3+ Treg up-regulating,suppressing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 and IL-6.Rebuilding the balance of Treg/Th17 to reduce local intestinal inflammation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of selective angiography and embolization for the pa-tients with haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture. Methods Sixty-two patients with haemodynami-cally unstable pelvic fracture were treated in our hospital from 2002 to 2008. Their pelvie fractures were classified on the basis of their X-ray and CT data. By AO classification, there were 2 cases of type A2, 6 B1, 9 B2, 8 B3, 16 C1, 13 C2, and 8 C. There were 6 cases of open injury (by Gustilo classification, 1 type Ⅱ and 5 type Ⅲ). Of the 46 eases of multiple injuries, 12 had shock. While active fluid infusion and vascular medication were conducted, the angiograph was done for all patients, 59 of whom also received embolization. Results Seventy-nine angiographs were performed for the 62 cases, and 12 of them received more than twice angiographa. Exams revealed that 32 patients had suffered injury to more than 2 arteries. The injured arteries were sequentially superior gluteal artery, iliolumbar artery, lateral sacra] artery, obturator artery, inferior gluteal artery, internal pudendal artery, internal iliae artery and external lilac artery. Of the 59 cases of embolization, 56 were successful. Seven patients died due to severe abdominal organ injury. Forty-five patients got an average follow-up of 14 months (range, 6 to 52 months) . No severe complications were no-ticed. Conclusions Selective angiography and embolization is an effective intervention for patients with haemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture. It is mandatory to conduct recurrent angiographic embolization for patients with multiple artery injuries or delayed artery injuries.

Objective To investigate the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection among human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals in Shanghai and Yunnan Province and to analyze the risk factors of TB infection.Methods Seventy HIV-infected individuals from Yunnan Province and 67 from Shanghai were enrolled.T-SPOT.TB was employed to detect TB-specific T cells in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in PBMC from the enrolled subjects were detected by flow cytometry.Data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney test,Fisher's exact test and Logistic regression.Results The incidence of latent tuberculosis (LTB) infection among HIV-infected individuals in Yunnan Province was 64.3 % (45/70),which was much higher than Shanghai (20.8% [14/ 67]).The median CD4+ T cell count of HIV-infected individuals with LTB infection in Yunnan Province was 509/μL,while that in Shanghai was 324/μL,which was significant different (U=148,P=0.003).The median CD4+ T cell count in HIV single infected individuals from Yunnan Province was 418/μL,which was not significantly different from that of H IV + LTB individuals from that area (U =378,P =0.120).Moreover,the median CD8+ T cell counts of HIV-infected individuals with latent tuberculosis infection in Yunnan Province and Shanghai were 409/μL and 781/μL,respectively (U=109,P<0.01).Conclusions The incidence of LTB infection among HIV-infected individuals in Yunnan Province is significantly higher than Shanghai.CD4+ and CD8+ T cell counts are correlated with TB infection among HIV-infected individuals.

Objective: To investigate the growth inhibition and apoptosis induction effect of vitamin E succinate (VES) on human colon cancer cells and to analyze the modulation of apoptosis-mediator Fas expression in this process. Methods: Human colon cancer cell line LS174T was treated with VES for 12 h, 24 h and 48 h at the concentrations of 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 20mg/L. 1-(4,5-dimethylthiazo-2-yl)-3,5-diphenylformazan (MTT) assay was employed to detect the inhibitory effect of VES on the growth of colon cancer cells. Flow cytometry was then used to analyze the cell cycle of the colon cancer cells after being treated with VES and the apoptotic rate was calculated at the same time. To find out whether the Fas protein expression was modulated in this process, Western blotting assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the Fas protein level in whole cell lystates and on cell surface. Results: VES exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of human colon cancer cells in a doseand time-dependent manner. After being treated with VES at 5 mg/L, 10 mg/L and 20 mg/L for 48 h, the apoptotic rate of LS174T cells rose from 0.90% to 15.9%, 46.7% and 64.5%, respectively. Fas neutralizing antibody can significantly block VES-induced apoptosis. After the administration of VES, total Fas protein in whole-cell extracts increased in a dose-dependent manner. The flow cytometry showed that the mean fluorescence intensity rose from 5.43 to 9.88, 13.21 and 18.0 after being treated with VES. Conclusion: VES can induce significant growth inhibition and apoptosis in human colon cancer cells. The modulation of Fas expression is one of the mechanisms involved in this process and may be related to the upregulation of Fas molecule on the cancer cell surface.
