Objective To investigate the effects of Xiaotan Sanjie Recipe (XTSJR) on the proliferation and apoptosis of colorectal cancer cell;To study its relevant mechanism. Methods The original XTSJR aqueous solution was lyophilized, weighted, and dissolved in cell culture and stored. HCT116 cell line was treated with different concentrations of XTSJR for 72 h, and the cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. XTSJR treated HCT116 cell line with the concentration of 0.94 mg/mL and 1.88 mg/mL for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, and the cell proliferation was detected by CCK-8 assay. HCT116 cell line was treated with different concentrations (0.24, 0.47, 0.94, 1.88 mg/mL) of XTSJR for 72 h. The cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL assay under the fluorescence microscope, and the post-intervention expression of Caspase3 protein was detected by Western blot. Results The inhibitory effects of XTSJR on the proliferation of HCT116 cell line was concentration-time dependent. The IC50 value at 72 h-time point was 0.94 mg/mL. Medicine concentration and the treated time have interactive contribution to the inhibitory effect. XTSJR induced the cell apoptosis. The apoptosis rate increased with the increasing medicine concentration. There was statistically significant difference compared with the control group ( P<0.01). After treatment the expression of Pro-Caspase3 decreased, while the expression Cleaved Caspase3 protein increased. Conclusion XTSJR inhibits the proliferation of HCT116 cell line and induce apoptosis. Its mechanism might be related to the activity of Caspase3 protein.

BACKGROUND:Epidural scar after laminectomy is one important reason for the secondary spinal stenosis, and local application ofSanqi sodium hyaluronate gel can prevent epidural scar adhesion after laminectomy. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects ofSanqisodium hyaluronate gel on α-smooth muscle actin expression in the process of rabbit's epidural scar formation. METHODS: In this study, there were ninety-six rabbits which were randomized into four groups and given 0.5 mL normal saline, 0.5 mLSanqi concentrated solution, 0.5 mL sodium hyaluronate and 0.5 mLSanqisodium hyaluronate gel around the dura. At 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after treatment, immunohistochemistry staining was employed for analysis of α-smooth muscle actin expression. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At the end of weeks 1 and 2, the expression of α-smooth muscle actin antibody in the normal saline group was significantly higher than that in the other three groups (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05), but there were no significant differences among the Sanqi, sodium hyaluronate andSanqisodium hyaluronate gel groups (P> 0.05). At weeks 4 and 8, the expression of α-smooth muscle actin antibody in theSanqi sodium hyaluronate gel group was significantly lower than that in the other three groups (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05), and there was no significant difference among the latter three groups (P > 0.05). These findings suggest thatSanqi sodium hyaluronate gel can inhibit the expression of α-smooth muscle actin, and thus ease scar contracture.

Objective To evaluate the application of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in diagnosis and screening of thalassemia. Methods Automated HPLC was used to measure HbF and HbA2 in 100 genetically diagnosed thalas-semic patients and 35 normal children. The results were compared with those from traditional tests including alkali denaturation test and cellulose acetate electrophoresis. The diagnose accordance rates, sensitivity and specificity were compared. Results Seventy-fourβthalassemia, 64 were heterozygous with single mutations and 10 were compound heterozygous with double muta-tions. Twenty-sixαthalassemia, 25 were compound mutations and one was heterozygous with single mutation. The HbF percent-age from HPLC was higher than that from alkali denaturation tests in either thalassemia or normal children (P<0.01). HbF level from HPLC inα-thalassemia was signiifcantly different from that in the normal children (P=0.011). The percentage of HbA2 from HPLC was higher than that from cellulose acetate electrophoresis (P=0.010). HbA2 in the single heterozygousβ-thalassemia were twice higher than that in the double heterozygous mutatedβ-thalassemia (P<0.01). The combination of HbF-HbA2 (≥4.0%) from HPLC with MCV (<80 lf) and MCH (<27 pg) had high accordance rates (99.3%), sensitivity (99.0%) and speciifcity (100.0%) in diagnosis of thalassemia. Conclusions When the results of HPLC are combined with MCV and MCH, it can be applied to the diagnosis of thalassemia with high speciifcity, high sensitivity and has high diagnostic accordance rate with genetic results. HPLC can be an ideal approach to screenβthalassemia.
