Objective To evaluate the effect of ginsenoside-Rg3 on cellular immune function of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with radiotherapy. Methods 50 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with radiotherapy were ran-domly divided into Rg3 group ( n=25 ) and control group ( n=25 ) . After the radiotherapy, the peripheral blood lymphocy of each group were collected. MTT method was used to detect lymphocyte proliferation. Lymphocyte sub-group was detected by Flow Cytometry/financal capacity model. IgG,IgM and Th1/Th2 cytokines was detected by ELISA. Results Ginsenoside Rg3 could promote the proliferation of lymphocytes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy,upregulation of CD4 +,CD4 +/CD8 +,IgG,IgM,IL-2,downregulation of CD8 +,IL-6,and showed dose dependent. Conclusion Rg3 ginsenosides can significantly enhance the peripheral blood lymphocyte immune function of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with radiotherapy. Rg3 ginsenosides may be a potential im-mune immunosuppression caused by nasopharyngeal carcinoma radiotherapy enhancer antagonism.

Purpose To study the effect of heparin on expression of type collagen Ⅰ,ⅢmRNA in cultured fetal rat lung fibroblast (LFb). Methods By using Northern blot method and immage analysis,the expression of collagenⅠ, Ⅲ mRNA were quantitatively analysed in the fibroblasts treated with different concentration heparin (0.1 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 10 mg/L, 100 mg/L)separately. Results Heparin treatment at 0.1 mg/L,1 mg/L, 10 mg/L and did not influence the expression of collagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ mRNA,but the expression of collagen Ⅰ,Ⅲ mRNA were inhibited at 100 mg/L. Conclusion Expression of collagen Ⅰ, ⅢmRNA is related to the concentration of heparin.

Objective: To investigate the effects of preconditioning with lithium on the expressions of HSP70 in gerbil after global ischemia. Methods: The transient ischemia model of gerbil global was established by clamping the bilateral common carotid arteries for 5 min.36 gerbils were randomly divided into group lithium(n=18) and group control(n=18).Gerbils in group lithium were injected with lithium intraperitoneally,5 mmol/kg,once a day for 5 consecutive days.Normal saline was used instead of lithium in group control as vehicle control.Both group lithium and control underwent ischemia after preconditioning,and were then further divided into three subgroups(n=6,in each subgroup).The garbles in lithium 1 or control 1 subgroup were sacrificed 1 day after ischemi;lithium 3 or control 3 sacrificed in 3 days;and lithium 7 or control 7 were sacrificed in 7 days.The brains were made into paraffin sections and were used for immunohistochemistry against HSP70. Results: Compared with the vehicle control,the HSP70 expression in subgroup lithium1 was inhibited in the hippocampus CA1(P
