Objective To explore the mechanism of gefitinib in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines in vitro. Methods The effects of the gefitinib in five human NSCLC cell lines (A549, SPC-A-1, H460, H1229, 95D) were studied. The inhibition of cell proliferation in each group were measured by CCK8;The status of apoptosis cells were observed using flow cytometry after PI marked;invasion of lung cancer cell inhibited by gefitinib were assessed by transwell technique;The drug was detected by western blot on the proliferation-related signaling protein. Results The proliferation and invasive capacity of NSCLC cells were inhibited by gefitinib (P < 0.05). In gefitinib group, the apoptosis rates of A549 [(9.6±0.73) %]and SPC-A-1[(14.3±1.12) %]were higher than that of control group[(3.1±0.29) %](t =11.16,P =0.001;t =4.726, P =0.009). Expression of p-AKT, p-EGFR, p-MAPK protein levels were significantly down regulated in A549 cells when gefitinib was given after 72 hours (t =6.656, P =0.003;t =16.441, P =0.0001;t =3.736, P =0.020). Conclusion Gefitinib can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of lung cancer cell, also can induce apoptosis in vitro and most likely to contribute to the inhibition of key enzymes in EGFR signaling transduction pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of ulinastatin on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) in rats and assess the possible mechanism. Methods Seventy-five male SD rats weighing 210-250 g were randomly divided into three groups with 25 animals in each group : (Ⅰ) control group received sham operation; (Ⅱ)renal I/R group and (Ⅲ) ulinastatin + I/R group. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal ketamine 50 mg?kg-1 . Bilateral kidneys were exposed through midline incision and bilateral renal pedicles were occluded with atraumatic mini-clamp. The kidneys turned pale. In control group the kidneys were exposed but their pedicles were not clamped, while in ulinastatin group (Ⅲ) ulinastatin 12 500 u was given i. v. 30 min before ischemia and at the beginning of reperfusion. Blood samples and kidneys were obtained at 0, 2, 6, 12, 24 h of reperfusion for determination of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (Cr) concentrations and the expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) and bcl-2 in kidney and for microscopic examination. Paller scoring system was used to evaluate the severity of histological changes ( the higher the score, the worse is the change) .Results BUN and serum Cr levels were significantly lower at 12 and 24 h of reperfusion in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ (P 0.05) . Conclusion Ulinastatin can reduce the risk of renal dysfunction and injury associated with renal I/ R. The protective effect of ulinastatin may be associated with the up-regulation of bcl-2 expression.

Objective To investigate the effects of autologous blood transfusion on serum neopterin and IL-2 concentrations after radical gastrectomy. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes (33 male, 27 female) aged 40-65 yrs weighing 51-70 kg undergoing radical gastrectomy for stomach cancer were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 30 each):homologous blood transfusion group (H) and autologous blood transfusion group (A). The patients were premedicated with intramuscular diazepam 10 mg and atropine 0.5 mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1 mg?kg-1, fentanyl 5 ?g?kg-1, propofol 1 mg?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.12 mg? kg-1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation (1 % -2 %) and intermittent i. v. boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. In group H homologous blood 400 ml was infused during gastro-intestinal anastomosis. In group A 400 ml of blood was removed from radial artery after induction of anesthesia, before surgery. Blood volume was maintained by simultaneous infusion of succinylated gelatin 500 ml. The 400 ml autologous blood was infused also during gastrointestinal anastomosis. Venous blood samples were taken before operation (baseline) , at the end of operation and on the 5th postoperative day for determination of serum concentrations of neopterin and IL-2 (ELISA) Results The two groups were comparable with regard to sex (M/F ratio), age, body weight, duration of operation and total blood loss. The serum concentrations of neopterin and IL-2 were significantly decreased after operation compared to the baseline values before operation in group H (P

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of matrine on proliferation and apoptosis of human renal cell carcinoma cell line GRC-1 in vitro, and to explore its mechanism. METHODS: The human renal cell carcinoma cell line GRC-1 was treated with matrine of different concentrations for 24, 48, 72 and 96 h respectively. The MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxic effects of matrine on GRC-1 cells. The transmission electron microscope and flow cytometry were utilized to observe and detect the apoptosis of GRC-1 cells induced by matrine. The expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were evaluated by streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method. RESULTS: The matrine of different concentrations all have cytotoxic effects on GRC-1 cells, with obvious dose- and time-dependent effects. The apoptosis induced by matrine was confirmed in GRC-1 cells. With intervention of matrine (1.5 g/L) for 12 h, the expression level of Bcl-2 in GRC-1 cells was decreased while the expression level of Bax was increased as compared with those in the untreated group. CONCLUSION: The proliferation-inhibiting effects of matrine on human renal cell carcinoma cell line GRC-1 may be related to down-regulating the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax protein expression and promoting the apoptosis.

Objective:To analyze and compare clinical characteristics and risk factors of patients with uremic encephalopathy (UE).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed from January 2014 to January 2019 in our hospital. Seventy patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at the end stage (according to diagnosis standard of CKD) complicated with UE were classified into the UE group. In principle matching with sex, age and duration of disease, seventy patients with chronic kidney disease at the end stage but without UE were classified into the non-UE group (NUE group). The demographic data, laboratory examination, CT or MRI examination were recorded and analyzed by using t or χ 2 test. In addition, independent risk factors of patients with UE were analyzed by using Logistic model. Results:A total of 70 patients in the UE group and 70 patients in the NUE group were collected. The proportion of patients with a history of alcohol comsumption, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and polycystic kidney disease were higher in the UE group than in the NUE group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease history between the two groups ( P>0.05). The proportion of cerebral focus and lesions for brain white matter revealed by head CT or MRI in the UE group were significantly higher than that in the NUE group ( P<0.05). The serum NLR and UA levels in the UE group were higher than those in the NUE group ( P<0.05), but the serum ALB and FT3 levels in the UE group were lower than those in the NUE group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum NLR, ALB and FT3 levels were independent risk factors for UE patients. Conclusions:Cerebral focus and lesions for brain white matter revealed by CT or MRI are typical abnormal in UE patients. The serum NLR, FT3 and ALB levels are independent risk factor for UE patients.
