Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1994;0(01):-
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effects of Ad K5 on the proliferation of endothelial cells and the growth of mammary cancer. Methods: Kringle 5 of human plasminogen was constructed by PCR, and then cloned to plasmid pCA13. Recombinant adenovirus Ad K5 was obtained through homologous recombination in 293 cells. The inhibition effect of Ad K5 on cell proliferation was observed in vitro . The tumor size was measured at different intervals to observe the antitumoral effect of Ad K5 in vivo .Results: The mRNA expression of K5 gene was detected in Ad K5 infected B Cap 37 cells. Ad K5 inhibited the growth of ECV 304 cells, but had almost no effects on B Cap 37 cells. It seemed that Ad K5 could inhibit endothelial cells but not kill the cancer cells directly. Ad K5 could also inhibit the tumor growth in vivo. Conclusion: Ad K5 could inhibit the growth of solid mammary tumor.

Objective To analyze the change of the shear stress in atherosclerotic carotid artery of rabbits and its effect on the plaque and intimia-media pathological morphology. Methods Totally 36 male Japanese White rabbits were randomly divided into blank control group (n=6), sham operation control group (n=6) and the surgery group (n=24). The blank control group was fed by normal diet. The sham operation control group was fed by the high-cholesterol diet. The surgery group was fed by high-cholesterol diet and treated by air-drying. In the 2nd, 4th, 8th and 12th week after operation, the hemodynamic parameters were measured using Color Doppler Flow Imaging. Blood viscosity was determined and the degree of artery stenosis was showed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The stenosis rate, mean shear stress, intimia-media ratio and mean integrated optical densities (IOD) of media smooth muscle cells (SMC) were calculated respectively. Results The typical atherosclerotic plaque was presented in surgery group. The thickness of media and mean IOD of SMC were increased at the 2nd week after operation. However, following the increase of the stenosis rate and shear stress, the flow field was changed on the stenotic artery. The pathological morphology showed the character of vulnerable plaque such a large lipid core, thin fibrous cap, and plaque rupture at 4th, 8th week after operation. The media showed atrophy and became thin, mean IOD of SMC was decreased. Statistic analysis showed significant difference in the 2 week group compared with other group. Conclusion Following the increase in the degree of stenosis, the flow shear stress is increased, turbulent flow presents, and flow field changes on the stenotic artery. Thus the plaque become unstable , and the vessel occurs remodeling.

Objective:To explore the related risk factors of aortic arch calcification (AoAC) and the relationship between AoAC and long-term outcome in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods:The patients who underwent hemodialysis in the Blood Purification Center of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from March to June 2015 were recruited. Calcification of the aortic arch was estimated with plain chest radiology. The patients were divided into AoAC group and no-AoAC group. Multivariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of AoAC. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression model were used to examine the association between AoAC and adverse prognostic events (all-cause death and cardiovascular events).Results:There were 157 hemodialysis patients included in this study, with age of (62.63±15.05) years (30-90 years old) and 85 males (54.14%). The median follow-up time was 54(20, 54) months. There were 99 cases (63.06%) in AoAC group and 58 cases (36.94%) in no-AoAC group. The age, proportion of diabetes history, serum corrected calcium and triglyceride levels in AoAC group were higher than those in no-AoAC group (all P<0.05), while the proportion of using active vitamin D, serum albumin and intact parathyroid hormone level were lower than those in no-AoAC group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that older age ( OR=1.109, 95% CI 1.067-1.152, P<0.001), diabetes ( OR=4.110, 95% CI 1.551-10.890, P=0.004), longer dialysis duration ( OR=1.026, 95% CI 1.010-1.043, P=0.001), higher systolic pressure ( OR=1.039, 95% CI 1.012-1.067, P=0.005) and higher triglycerides levels ( OR=1.932, 95% CI 1.148-3.125, P=0.013) were the independent risk factors of AoAC, and higher hemoglobin was a protective factor ( OR=0.967, 95% CI 0.938-0.998, P=0.035) of AoAC. Sixty-three cases (63.64%) died, and 78 cases (78.79%) had cardiovascular events in AoAC group. Fourteen cases (24.14%) died, and 12 cases (20.69%) had cardiovascular events in no-AoAC group. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed higher incidence rate of all-cause death (Log-rank χ2=22.499, P<0.001) and cardiovascular events (Log-rank χ2=50.797, P<0.001) in patients with AoAC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed AoAC was the independent risk factor of all-cause death ( HR=2.003, 95% CI 1.039-3.859, P=0.038) and cardiovascular events ( HR=5.642, 95% CI 3.003-10.600, P<0.001). Conclusions:Older age, diabetes mellitus, longer dialysis duration, hypertension, higher triglyceride levels and lower hemoglobin are significantly associated with AoAC. AoAC is the independent risk factor of all-cause death and cardiovascular events in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
