0.05) from that of the cryoprecipitate, but was shorter than that in the FFP and frozen platelet. Conclusion The clinical use of the platelet cryoprecipitate suspension is superior to that of common blood components, because it includes platelets and coagulable factors.

The scale of craniofacial intervention lies between the fields of neuro-intervention and peripheral intervention for the main purpose to investigate,diagnose and treat the disease entities originating from or supplied by the external carotid arterial system. Patients are usually refered to the oral and maxillofacial surgery,plastic surgery and otolaryngeal surgery. Craniofacial intervention includes mainly the diagnosis and treatment with adjuvant embolization of high-flow vascular diseases,intra-arterial chemotherapy of malignant tumors,embolization of epistaxis,etc. At present,there is no consensus with regard to the diagnosis and treatment of some craniofacial diseases,therefore further investigation and discussion are needed.(J Intervent Radiol,2006,15: 321-322)

Multidrug resistance (MDR) is widely thought to be a major cause of the failure in cancer chemotherapy. The detection of MDR marker is therefore valuabe in studying the mechanisms of MDR and to predict response to chemotherapy in patient with carcinoma. Previous studies have examined MDR marker in gastric cancer, but the major part of the investigation in patients have focused on a single parameter. The purposes of this study were to detect the expression of glutathione S transferase pi(GST ?), multidrug resistance associated protein(MRP), lung resistance protein(LRP) and multidrug resistance gen 1 (MDR1) in the patients with primary gastric cancer, who had not received prior chemotherapy, and evaluate the correlation between GST ?, MRP, LRP and MDR1. The expression of GST ?, MRP, LRP and MDR1 mRNA in carcinoma tissue and the adjacent non cancerous tissue from 50 patients was examined by semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR). The positive rate of GST ? mRNA, MRP mRNA, LRP mRNA and MDR1 mRNA in gastric cancer tissue were 36.00%, 12.00%, 10.00%, and 10.00% respectively. Their expression in gastric cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in the adjacent non cancerous tissue. The overall positive rate of their expression in gastric tissue was 48.00%. The results indicated that GST ? mRNA, MRP mRNA, LRP mRNA and MDR1 mRNA are overexpressed in various degrees and no co expression exists among the studied genes in gastric cancer,and perhaps intrinsic MDR exists in 46% patients with primary gastric cancer .

Objective To investigate the influence of Norcantharidin(NCTD)on apoptosis-related gene expression of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.Methods The experiment was divided into control group,5-Fu group,NCTD group and 5-Fu+NCTD group.The inhibitory rate,apoptosis rate and expression of survivin,bcl-2,and caspase-3 were detected by MTT assay,flow cytometry and SABC immunohistochemical method,respectively.Results NCTD showed that the inhibitory effect on growth of SGC-7901 cells with a dose-and time-effective dependent manner.The apoptotic rate increased from(8.30?1.49)% to(20.56? 1.32)%.The expressions of survivin decreased from(86.57?4.39)% to(26.11?2.27)% and bcl-2 from(85.35? 3.25)% to(30.26?1.83)%,while caspase-3 increased from(54.49?3.07)% to(92.78?2.47)%,5-Fu had the synergistic effects with NCTD.Conclusion NCTD can inhibit the growth of SGC-7901 cell lines.5-Fu had the synergistic effects with NCTD.The mechanism might correlate with induction of cell apoptosis via effect of the expression of apoptotic-related genes such as survivin,bcl-2 and caspase-3.

Objective To explore if the tumor cell can up-regulate the proliferation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells. Methods Lymphoma cell EL-4 supernatant was combined with the normal mise spleen lymphocyte. After cultured 72 hours, CD4+CD25+ subset were analyzed by flow cytometry and the gene expression level of the specific marker Foxp3 were tested by RT-PCR. The experiment repeated three times. Results The supematant derived from EL-4 can increase the proportion of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells in normal mouse spleen lymphocytes than that of the control group. Moreover, when added the CD3 McAb with EL-4 supematant together, the number of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells increased. The level of corresponding Foxp3 mRNA also increased. Conclusion These data suggested that in the supernatant may occur immune regulatory factors which up-regulated the number of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells and indicated that the tumorigenesis can facilitate proliferation of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells.

GRP78,as endoplasmic reticulum resident chaperone,is highly induced by a variety of tumor microenvironmental stresses,such as hypoxia and glucose deprivation.GRP78 is implicated in tumor cell proliferation,apoptosis,invasion,metastasis and angiogenesis.Recent evidence indicates that GRP78 levels is correlated with pathological grade,stage and prognosis for the majority of solid tumors.In addition,GRP78 plays an important role in drug tolerance and knockdown of GRP78 has been shown to sensitize malignant cells.GRP78 could not only be a good biomarker to predict cancer progression and chemo-responsiveness,but also an appealing target for the development of a more selective chemotherapy.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the protective effects of ginkgo leaf extracts on spinal cord after ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rabbits and to find out its possible mechanism. METHODS: Twenty-seven New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, which were sham-operation group, untreated group and ginkgo leaf extracts-treated group. The locomotor scores of hindlimbs in rabbits after 24 and 48 h of reperfusion were evaluated, and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in ischemia spinal cord were examined. The apoptotic index (AI) of neurons in spinal cord was detected by terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins were examined by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase method. RESULTS: The locomotor scores of hindlimbs in rabbits after 24 and 48 h of reperfusion in the ginkgo leaf extracts-treated group were obviously elevated as compared with those in the untreated group (P<0.05). The activity of SOD was higher and the level of MDA was lower in ischemia spinal cord in the ginkgo leaf extracts-treated group than those in the untreated group (P<0.01). The decreased neuron AI and the expressions of up-regulated Bcl-2 protein and down-regulated Bax protein were also observed in the ginkgo leaf extracts-treated group. CONCLUSION: The protective effects of the ginkgo leaf extracts against spinal cord injury induced by IR may be related to scavenging oxygen free radicals, reducing lipid peroxidation injury and inhibiting apoptosis.
