Objective To know the cosmetics quality in Yunnan Province and to research the security countermeasure in order to protect the the health of people. Methods According to the state,standard test methods and criterion,the physical,chemical,biological and toxicological indicators of cosmetics were determined and evaluated. The results were treated by statistic methods. Results From 1996 to 2005,1 581 cosmetics samples were determined. The eligible rate of the cosmetics samples was 90.1%(1 425/1 581). The eligible rate was increasing from 1996 to 2005(?2=19.487,P

Objective To investigate the influence of retinoic acid (RA) in differentiation,maturation and function of intestinal dendritic cells (DC),and probe into the effect of Vitamin A (VA) on intestinal mucosal immunity and pathway. Method Rat intestinal mucosa was cultured in vitro,supplemented with all-trans RA and/or retinoid acid receptor ? (RAR?) antagonist (Ro 41-5253). After cultured for 24h and 48h,the surface markers OX62、OX6 and CD86 on DCs were detected by flow cytometry,to observe the effect of RA on differentiation and maturation of DC. The cytokines and RAR? were measured in mRNA levels by RT-PCR to analyze the influence of RA on mucosal immunity and the pathway. Results RA promoted the maturation of DC in mucosa cultured in vitro,and up-regulated RAR? mRNA levels,the changes were marked at 24h. Moreover,when RA was present in the culture,IL-12 and IFN-? (Th1 cytokine) mRNA were reduced,and IL-10 was increased significantly compared with control . However,the actions of RA above can be inversed by Ro 41-5253. Conclusion The modulation of RA on DC could be one of the important mechanisms that VA influences intestinal mucosal immunity. RAR? participates in the regulation of RA on DC.

Objective:To investigate the apoptosis by thiocoraline in combination with cisplatin on cervical cell line c4-1 and Hela and its mechanism. Methods:Different concentrations of thiocoraline and cisplatin alone or in combination used for cultured c4-1 and Hela cells. The inhibition of cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay,and the apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33342 and AO-EB staining. The expressions of the protein Bax,Bcl2,p53,p21 were detected by Western blot. The cell cycle of c4-1 and Hela cells were detected by Flow cytometry. Results: The cell proliferation activity of c4-1 and HeLa cells were inhibited obviously by different concentrations of thiocoraline and cisplatin alone or in combination. The inhibition effect was in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, when the concentrations of thiocoraline and cisplatin were 10 nmol/L and 4 μmol/L, respectivity the inhibitory effect was most significant (P<0. 05);Hoechst 33342 and AO-EB staining showed that the cell apoptosis effect was more obvious on thiocoraline in combination with cisplatin. The Western blot showed that the expressions of the protein Bax,p53,p21 were significantly up-regulated, and the Bcl2 was significantly down-regulated. Conclusion:Thiocoraline combination with cisplatin could up-regulate the expression of the protein Bax,p53,p21 and down-regulation the expression of Bcl2 to inhibition the proliferation and promotion apoptosis of cervical cell line c4-1 and Hela.

Objective To investigate the existence of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)and its relation to the expression of HBx protein in hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The expression of HBx protein,E-cadherin,β-catenin,N-cadherin and fibronectin were detected by immumnohistochemistry technique in 76 cases of HCC.Results Among 76 HCC samples,the loss of expressions of E-cadherin and β-catenin were 34%(26/76)and 20%(15/76),respectively.The positive expressions of HBx protein,N-cadherin and frbronectin were observed in 68%(52/76),55%(42/76),46%(35/76)of HCC samples,respectively.The loss of expression of E-cadherin significantly correlated with the positive expression of N-cadherin and HBx protein (P＜0.01).The positive expression of N-cadherin and fibronectin significantly correlated with the loss of expression of β-catenin and the positive expression of HBx protein(P＜0.05).Conclusions EMT exists in hepatocellular carcinoma,and the expression of HBx is significantly associated with EMT.

The hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors.Patients with hepatobiliary cancer suffer from multiple symptoms,such as physical symptoms and psychology symptoms.In recent years,along with the further research of symptoms,the concept of symptom clusters occurred.Those two issues have always been the hot topics in recent years.Through the efforts of experts at home and abroad,there has been a part of progress in this area.However,the results are not the same.There are lots of disputes in the numbers、sequence、incidences of the symptom clusters.The paper will discuss this issue from symptom experience and symptom clusters in order to provide the reference and basis for symptom management.

AIM:To establish macrophage mannose receiver Model(MMR),and use it to screen active component with mannose receiver(MR)as target from traditional Chinese herbs.METHODS:The mouse abdominal macrophages was hatched with D-mannose and D-galactose of the different concentration,and the flow cytometry and fluorescence microscope were used to measure the antagonistic effect of M-FITC-BSA(Mannose-fluorescein isothiocyanate-bovine serum albumin)with D-mannose and D-galactose.After the MMR screening model was established to screen MR union ingredients of polysaccharide ingredients from six compound prescriptions,such as Siwu Decoction and so on.RESULTS:Both of measuring methods showed that when D-mannose concentration increased the relevance ratio of M? marked with M-FITC-BSA decreases(P

Objective To study the alternation of coagulation and fibrinolysis in patients with gastric cancer(GC) . Method Platelet aggregation test(PAGT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), tissue factor pathway inhibitor(TFPI), D-dimer and tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA: a)were detected in 48 GC patients(GC group) at two weeks pre- and post-operation respectively;and compared with non-tumor patients(control group). Results Compared with control group, in GC group,especially in GC patients with lymphatic metastasis,the PAGT increased (P

Objective To investigate the changes in prevalence of nutritional risk and undemutrition in patients with head and neck cancer during radiotherapy.Methods In this longitudinal observational study,a convenience sampling method was used to recruit patients with head and neck cancer who were receiving radiotherapy in Beijing Cancer Hospital.Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) was applied to assess the prevalence of nutritional risk in the patients,and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and body composition test to determine the prevalence of malnutrition (undernutrition) before,during and after radiotherapy.Results 56 patients finished the three follow-up exams.Along with the progress of radiotherapy,the scores of NRS 2002 increased gradually (1.64±1.09 vs.2.30 ±1.06 vs.3.14 ±1.07,x2 =46.639,P＜0.001),and the prevalence of nutritional risk also increased gradually (21.43％ vs.37.50％ vs.71.43％,x2 =29.700,P ＜0.001);the total scores of PG-SGA [1 (1-13) vs.6 (1-15) vs.12 (1-18),x2 =63.206,P＜0.001] and dimensions of weight [0 (0-4) vs.1 (0-4) vs.3 (0-6),x2 =40.798,P＜0.001],intake [0 (0-2) vs.1 (0-2) vs.2 (0-4),x2=64.707,P＜0.001] and symptoms [0 (0-7) vs.2 (0-10) vs.6 (0-11),x2 =61.562,P ＜ 0.001] all increased gradually with statistical significance.The prevalence of malnutrition in different stage of radiotherapy were significantly different (x2 =64.999,P ＜ 0.001).The body composition analysis in 40 patients showed that all the indicators of body composition decreased significantly along with the progress of radiotherapy.There was a great loss in patients' body weight during radiotherapy,especially the fat-free mass.Conclusions The prevalence of nutritional risk and undernutrition may increase in patients with head and neck cancer during radiotherapy.Lean body mass accounted for most of the weight loss.We should pay more attention to those patients' nutritional status during radiotherapy.
