The liver is an important organ of the body,with an extraordinary capacity for responding to physical or chemical injuries by regenerating. The mechanisms behind liver regeneration are very complicated as hundreds of substances are involved.However,most of them are not liver-specific,such as HGF,EGF etc. We recently isolated a pure protein with hepatic stimulatory activity from the extract of a weanling calf liver and named its hepatopoietin Cn (HPPCn).This paper,with reference to our own work, mainly reviews the development and bioactivity about hepatic stimulator substance(HSS),augmenter of liver regeneration(ALR),hepassocin(HPS) and HPPCn,which are liver-specific biologically active peptides.

Objective To determine associations between weight gain induced by antipsychotic and the polymorphisms of HTR2C gene -759C/T and -697G/C,histamine-1 receptor gene,leptine gene -2548G/A,and adiponectin gene +276G/T and +45T/G.Methods In the casematched study,85 patients who gained more than 7％ of their pre-drug body weight served as the study group and another 85 patients who gained less than 7％ of their pre-drug body weight served as the control group.The ligation diction reaction technique was used to analyze the frequencies of the -759C/T and -697G/C polymorphism of the HTR2C gene,-2548A/G polymorphism of leptin gene,+ 276G/T and + 45T/G polymorphism of adiponectin gene and glu349asp polymorphism of H1 receptor gene.Results The presence of the -759C allele,-697G allele,-2548A allele and + 276G allele was significantly higher in the study group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The -759C/T and -697G/C polymorphisms of the promoter region of 5HT2C receptor gene,-2548A/G polymorphisms of leptin gene and + 276G/T polymorphisms of adiponectin gene may be associated with the antipsychotic induced weight gain.The glu349asp polymorphisms of histamine-1 receptor gene is not associated with antipsychotic induced weight gain.

Objective To study the mechanisms of Curcumin-induced apoptosis on human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.Methods SC,C-7901 cells were treated with various concentrations of Curcumin and the growth inhibition rates of it were accessed by MTT method.Apoptosis of gastric cancer cells were in- spected by flow cytometry.The expression of Fas and survivin in gastric cancer cells were evaluated by west- ern blot.Results Curcumin could effectively inhibit the growth of gastric cancer cells in dose-dependent and time-dependent manners,the sub-peak appeared and the apoptotic rate was increased.The expressions of Fas was higher in Western blot,meanwhile,the expressions of survivin was decreased.Conclusion Curcumin could significantly inhibit the growth and induce apoptosis of gastric cancer cells(SGC-7901),Curcumin could probably through up-regulating Fas and down-regulating surviving to induce apoptosis.

Objective To explore the efficacy and security of helical tomotherapy (radical radiotherapy) combined with targeted therapy for stage Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods The data of 19 patients with stage Ⅳ NSCLC were retrospectively analyzed.The efficacy and security were observed by SPSS 20.0 statistical software.Results Among 19 patients, there were 6 cases complete remission (CR), 8 cases partial remission (PR), 4 cases stable disease (SD), 2 cases progressive disease (PD).The response (CR+PR) rate was 73.7 ％ (14/19).The 1-and 2-year local control rates were 73.7 ％, 47.4 ％,respectively.The 1-year progression-free survival rate was 31.6 ％.The median survival time was 13 months, and the 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 52.6 ％, 26.3 ％, respectively.The median survival time of females, non-smokers or targeted therapy synchronous radiotherapy was longer than that of male, smokers or targeted therapy sequential radiotherapy, respectively (21 months vs 8 months, P =0.014;21 months vs 6 months, P =0.007;18 months vs 6 months, P =0.026).There were no significant differences of age, number of metastatical organs or targeted drug categories between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).All patients could tolerate the adverse reactions without treatment-related death.Conclusion The effect of helical tomotherapy combined with targeted therapy for stage Ⅳ NSCLC is desirable.

Objective: To study the effect of ?-3 polyunsaturated fatty(?-3 PUFA) on the serum lipid of ovariectomized rats.Methods: 60 virgin female Sprague-Dawley rats,3 months of age,were randomized by the stratified weight method into 6 groups: Sham group:deionized water 2 mL/d,OVX group:eionized water 2 mL/d,E2 group: OVX+17?-ethinylestradiol 0.1 mg/(kg?d),A group: OVX+?-3 PUFA 75 mg/(kg?d),B group: OVX+?-3 PUFA 150 mg/(kg?d) and C group: OVX+?-3 PUFA 300 mg/(kg?d).Each group had 10 rats.Experiment period was 90 days.Body weight were measured every week.Serum were collected to measure Cholesterol(TC),Triglyceride(TG),High-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C),and Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C).Results: There were significant difference between groups in the serum lipid.In the OVX group,TC and LDL-C increased.In the E2 group,TC increased compared with that in the Sham group,and HDL-C,LDL-C and HDL-C/TC decreased significantly compared with that in the OVX group.In the A,B and C groups HDL-C/TC increased significantly compared with those in the E2 group.Conclusion: The ovariectomized rats have lipid metabolism disorderd.The ?-3 PUFA and estrogen replacement therapy plays a role in the lipid metabolism.The ?-3 PUFA has the best efficiency in reducing the level of serum lipid.
