1.Effect and mechanism of salvia miltiorrhiza bunge on tumour metastasis
Cancer Research and Clinic 2009;21(2):138-139
With the continuous research on Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge-the presentative with funtion of blood-cicnlation-acfiviating of Traditional Chinese Medicine was found to have the effects of inhibiting tumour metastasis.The present study indicated that Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge prevents metastasis mainly by way of enhancing immune system function,inducing tumour cell differentiation and inhibiting the expression of molecule adhesions.Owing to further clarification of its mechanism of antimetastasis,Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is expected to become an effective medicine in preventing metastasis.

Objective To detect the cellular immune and humoral immune function in infants with Mycoplasma pneumoniae(Mp) infection,and to study its change regularity and the related clinical indexes.Methods The peripheral blood samples were collected from infantile patients with MP infection.The expression of CD3,CD4 and CD8 on the surface of T lymphocyte(T-cell)were detec-ted by the flow cytometry and the concentrations of IgG,IgA and IgM in serum were detected by the automatic biochemistry analy-zer.At the same time the normal control group was set up.Results The proportion of CD3 + and CD4 + T-cell,CD4 +/CD8 + ratio and the concentration of IgG,IgA in the patient group were significantly lower than those in the control group,while the concentra-tion of IgM in the patient group were significantly lower than those in the normal children.The concentration of IgM was higher than that in the normal children;the proportion of peripheral blood CD4 + T-cell and the concentration of IgM in the low-copy group were significantly lower than those in the high-copy group.Conclusion The immune status in children with Mp infection has obvi-ous change.The immune function of T-cell is suppressed.the humoral immune function has certain turbulence.

Objective To explore the influence factors on hepatitis B virus (HBV) relapse after nucleos(t)ide analogues (NA) withdrawal in the chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who met NA cessation criteria. Methods Eighty-one consecutive CHB patients were treated with NA, 38 with lamivudine (LAM), 25 with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV), 12 with entecavir (ETV), 6 with LAM +ADV. Among recruited patients, 40 were hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) positive, 41 were HBeAg negative, 67 of them were initial treatment, 14 were retreatment due to resistance to NA at baseline. The treatment was discontinued after meeting China therapeutic end-point criteria. HBV DNA, HBV serological markers, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were measured respectively at baseline, every month before virological response, every 3 months after virological response, every month within first 6 months and every 2 months over 6 months after drugs withdrawal. Twelve probable influence factors on relapse which were sex, age, HBV family history, baseline HBV DNA,baseline HBeAg status, baseline ALT, virological response time, total duration of treatment, duration of additional treatment, the level of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) at cessation therapy,initial treatment or retreatment, drug category were analyzed with univariate, multivariate Cox regression modle and stratified analysis. The cumulative relapse was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results A total of 36 patients (44. 4%) relapsed within 1 year. Initial treatment or retreatment, HBV family history, virological response time, the level of HBsAg at cessation therapy were independent risk factors. The relapse rate of retreatment was higher than that of initial treatment (78.6% vs 37. 3% , χ2 = 7. 983, P = 0. 005) , those of patients with HBV family history higher than without family history (64. 5% vs 15.0%, χ2 =12. 096,P = 0.002), those of patients obtained virological response within 3 months lower than after 3 months(34. 0% vs 64. 3% , χ2 =6. 823,P=0. 009) , those of patients with HBsAg≤150 μg/L at cessation therapy lower than >150 μg/L(27. 6% vs 53. 8%, χ2=5. 199,P=0. 023). Conclusions Retreatment, HBV family history, later virological response and higher HBsAg level at cessation therapy are risk factors of relapse after NA withdrawal. Such patients should be treated with prolonged duration after meeting end-point criteria to strengthen the efficacy.
