OBJECTIVE:To study the antiulcer action of norfloxacin zinc(NF-Zn) METHODS:Acute and chronic gastric ulcer models were established in rats and the in vitro action of neutralizing hydrochloric acid and the MIC for Hp of NF-Zn were determined RESULTS:NF-Zn could inhibit the formation of acute gastric ulcer induced by ethanol,stress and salicylic acid in rats,accelerate the healing of chronic gastric ulcer produced by acetic acid,inhibit the secretion of gastric acid and increase the pH in gastric juice In vitro,NF-Zn could neutralize HCl and inhibit Hp with MIC50 of 0 5?g/ml CONCLUSION:The results suggest that the antiulcer action of NF-Zn may be related with its protection of the gastric mucosal barrier,neutralization of acid and inhibition of Hp

Object To observe the protective effect of total isoflavones of pueraria DC (TIP) on osteoporosis induced by estrogen deficient rat Methods 42 10 month old female SD rats were bilaterally ovariectomized and 10 animals were made sham operation (Sham) under anesthesia. After 7 d, the ovariectomized rats were divided into 4 groups: untreated control (OVX) group (n=12); 2 treated groups (n= 10 each), one with 100 mg/kg TIP ig and the other with 20 mg/kg TIP ig, and a niylestrol group (E 3) (n= 10) The total body bone mineral content (BMC), and bone mineral density (BMD) and bone biodynamics were detected at 4th and 7th month Results 1 Compared with OVX group, BMC and BMD in TIP 100 mg/kg group were increased by 14 6% and 12.1% at 4th month, by 6 8% and 14 2% at 7th month, while in TIP 20 mg/kg group by 7 8% and 6 9% at 4th month, by 8 6% and 14 9% at 7th month 2 The densities of femur in TIP 100 and 20 mg/kg groups were respectively increased by 3 8% and 3 4%, while those of tibia by 6 8% and 6 3% than that of OVX control group The Ca contents were increased by more than 15% in the TIP treated groups 3 The maximum load and structural strength of femur were increased by 16 1% and 19 4% in TIP 100 mg/kg group and 9 1% and 12 5% in TIP 20 mg/kg group than OVX control group These parameters in tibia were also improved 4 Uterine weights both in TIP 100 and 20 mg/kg groups were almost increased by one fold than OVX group Conclusion TIP can protect osteoporosis induced by ovariectomized rats and these effect may be attributable to its week estrogen like action

Objective To study Twist,E-CD expression in colorectal cancer tissues and its relationship with colorectal cancer invasion,metastasis and prognosis.Methods Immunohistochemical staining (EnVision) was used to detect E-CD,Twist expression of normal colon mucosa in 30 cases,colorectal adenoma in 30 cases and colorectal cancer tissues in 142 cases.Chi-square、Fisher's and Spearman test were used to analyze E-CD and Twist protein expression,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate COX regression were used to analyze prognosis of patients.Results E-CD in the normal mucosa were positively expressed in 90％ cases,which was significantly higher than that in colorectal adenomas (63％) (P =0.046) and colorectal cancer tissues (42％) (P =0.000).E-CD expression was related to tumor differentiation (P =0.048),invasion depth (P =0.000),vein (P =0.000) and lymph vessel invasions (P =0.030),lymph node metastasis (P =0.001) and Dukes' stage (P =0.016),but not related to patient's age(P =0.174),gender(P =0.159),tumor size (P =0.628) and tumor histological type (P =0.153).1,3,5 year survival rate in patients with positive E-CD expression was significantly higher than that in patients with negative expression (P =0.000).Positive expression rate of Twist in colorectal cancer tissues (68％) was significantly higher than that in normal mucosa (20％,P =0.000) and colorectal adenomas (30％,P =0.000).Twist expression was related to tumor histological type (P =0.000),differentiation(P =0.000),invasion depth(P =0.000),vein(P =0.000) and lymph vessel invasions(P =0.000),lymph node metastasis(P =0.010) and Dukes' stage(P =0.000).1,3,5 year's survival rate of Twist-negative expression patients was significantly higher than that in patients with positive expression (P =0.000).E-CD and Twist in colorectal cancer tissues were negatively correlated (r =-0.530,P =0.000).COX multivariate analysis shows that vein invasion (P =0.045),lymph node metastasis (P =0.040),Dukes' stage (P =0.000),E-CD (P =0.003) and Twist (P =0.031) were independent prognostic indicators.Conclusions E-CD and Twist expression in colorectal cancer are related to tumor invasion,metastasis and prognosis.Low E-CD expression and high Twist expression are related to poor prognosis of colorectal cancer patients.

AIM: To optimize an orthopedic non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) model in nude mouse by comparing four different ways of cellular transplantation, and to evaluate the efficacy of drug by bladder instillation, so as to provide a stable and efficient animal model for the treatment of bladder cancer. METHODS: After disruption of bladder mucosa by dilute acid-alkali or silver nitrate, T24 cells were instilled into the nude mouse bladder. T24 cells were injected directly into the bladder with mechanical injury of bladder mucosa. T24 cells were injected into the bladder wall. On the 14th day after making models, the nude mice were sacrificed. And the bladder mass and histopathological changes of tumor (including bladder) was observe to confirm the formation of orthopedic bladder cancer. The dynamic changes of orthopedic bladder cancer were observed after injecting T24 cells into the bladder wall. Gemcitabine was used to verify the applicability of the model of injecting T24 cells into the bladder wall in vivo. RESULTS: No tumor was found in the bladder after intravesical instillation of T24 cells with dilute acid-alkali or silver nitrate treatment. With mechanical injury of bladder mucosa, all nude mice had tumors after injection T24 cells. But the number of tumors varied and often occurred at multiple sites. The tumor was found in the bladder of all nude mice by injecting T24 cells into bladder wall, and there was only one tumor. The tumor showed slow linear growth within 15 days and rapid linear growth from day 18 to 31. In vivo efficacy evaluation, gemcitabine 150 mg/kg intravesical perfusion could significantly inhibit the growth of NMIBC in nude mice replicated by direct injection of T24 cells into the bladder wall, and the tumor inhibition rate was 97.1%. CONCLUSION: The orthotopic NMIBC model can not be established with the bladder mucosa injuried by dilute acid-alkali or silver nitrate treatment. The number and size of orthotopic bladder cancer are different by mechanical injury of bladder mucosa. Injection of T24 cells into the bladder wall of nude mouse can successfully establish the orthotopic NMIBC model, which can be used for the evaluation of NMIBC therapeutic drugs.
