Objective To study the effect of an angiogenesis inhibitor TNP-470 (TNP )used alone and in combination with cytoxan(CTX) in the treatment of human ovarian cancer transplanted s.c. in nude mice. Methods Human ovarian cancer transplanted s.c. in nude mice model was established, then divided into 5 groups: control group, vehicle group, TNP group,CTX group and TNP+CTX group, different treatments were served from day 8 after transplantation and all mice were sacrificed after 28 days. The weights of the mice and the volumes of the tumors were measured respectively during the therapy time. Moreover, microscopy was done after H&E staining. Results The growth inhibiting rates in the TNP and CTX group were 26.1% and 33.9% respectively; After combined, the rate was increased to 70.5%. There were no obvious decrease in the weight of all treated mice. Conclusions Treatment with TNP is an potentially useful method of antitumor therapy in ovarian cancer, although the inhibition effects were not obvious in small doses. Moreover,TNP could enhance the effectiveness of antitumor drug.

OBJECTIVE To study the antimicrobial susceptibility and distribution of the ?-lactamases producing Escherichia coli from hepatopathy patients.METHODS Thirty-six ?-lactamases producing E.coli strains from hepatopathy patients were detected with a multi-disk test(synergy test,antagonized test for the inducible AmpC ?-lactamases(IABLs)),AmpC ?-lactamases(ABLs)phenotype test and extended-spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) comfirmation test,and the susceptibility of antimicrobial agents with K-B test.RESULTS Twenty-six strains of 38 strains produced the ?-lactamases(68.4%),13(34.2%)strains produced penicillinases,5(13.2%)strains produced broad-spectrum ?-lactamases or penicillinases and 8(21.1%)strains produced ESBLs alone.All were not detected out to produce ABLs and carbapenem-hydrolyzing ?-lactamases(CHBLs);All nonnproducing ?-lactamases strains were sensitive to 9 kinds of antimicrobial agents;but in the 26 strains producing ?-lactamases,the resistant rate to AMP,KZ,FTX,IMP,AK,CN,CIP,SXT and TET were 100.0%,50.0%,30.8%,0,61.5%,15.4%,73.1%,61.5%,and 69.2%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The rate of ?-lactamases producing E.coli from hepatopathy patients is high.The main types of ?-lactamases are penicillinases and ESBLs.Most strains producing ?-lactamases are susceptible to imipenem and amikacin.

Objective To observe the effect of endothelin-1 (ET-1) on the cell growth, adhesion, migration and expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) by A375 human malignant melanoma cells. Methods A375 cells were cultured in the presence of ET-1 of various concentrations (0.002, 0.02, 0.2, 2 μg/mL) for different periods. MTT method and flow cytometry were applied to detect the proliferation and ICAM-1 expression of these cells, respectively, after 24-, 48-, and 72-hour treatment. After 24-hour treatment, the cell adhesion and migration of A375 cells were assessed with cell adhesion assay and Transwell chambers, respectively. Results In the case of ET-1 from 0.002 to 0.2 μg/mL, it enhanced the proliferation, adhesion, migration of A375 cells and inhibited the expression of ICAM-1 by A375 cells in a dose dependent manner (P<0.01 or<0.05); however, for ET-1 of 2 μg/mL, the situation was the opposite. Moreover, after 24-hour culture with ET-1 of 0.2 μg/mL, the metabolic activity, cell adhesion rate, and expression of ICAM-1 peaked at 0.327±0.009, (163.31±4.05)% and 4.667±0.551, respectively. Conclusion ET-1 may enhance cellular metabolism and pigmentation by suppressing the expression of ICAM-1 and promoting the proliferation, adhesion and migration of melanoma cells.
