Objective To investigate the effect of Doxycycline on gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 proliferation and Notch1, Matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)expression in order to shine a light on new anticancer drugs. Methods Final concentration of 0, 5, 10, 20, 40 mg/L doxycycline were added into human gastric cancer cell line BGC-823. Cell pro-liferation was detected by MTT;Cell cycle distribution was assessed by flow cytometry;Notch1, MMP-9 protein expression was revealed by Immunoblot. Results Doxycycline can inhibit proliferation of human gastric cancer cells line BGC-823, and its effect is dose and time-dependent(P＜0.01). Doxycycline alters distribution of gastric cancer cell line BGC-823. With increasing drug concentration, the proportion of cells in S phase dropped(P＜0.01). Notch1 expression rose and MMP-9 expression decreased(P＜0.01). Conclusion Doxycyclinecan inhibited gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 prolif-eration and up-regulating Notch1 might be one mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of tumor M2-PK in lung cancer.Methods The concentration of Tumor M2-PK in plasma was detected by ELISA in 106 health controls,77 benign lung disease patients and 92 lung cancer patients.Results TuM2-PK concentration in plasma and the positive rate were singificantly higher in lung cancer(22.1 U/m1,71%)than that in benign lung disease and in health controls(10.5 U/ml,4% and 8 U/ml,3%)(P

Objective To explore the changes of intereferon-?(IFN-?)and interleukin-4(IL-4)in peripheral blood of children with mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) encephalitis at the acute phase.Methods The peripheral blood concentrations of IFN-? and IL-4 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in 24 cases of children with MP encephalitis at the acute stage.The samples from 24 cases of healthy children were control group.Twenty-four children with MP encephalitis were intravenous drip with azithromycin,at the same time,10 cases received hexadecadrol and 15 cases received gamma globulin.Results The serum concentrations of IFN-? and IL-4 in the mycoplasmal encephalitis group were(98.56?12.93) and(45.55?17.58) ng/L,respectively,which were significantly higher than those in control group [(85.35?6.91) and(26.78?9.89) ng/L] respectively(Pa

This paper summarizes the nursing care of a child with hand,food and mouth disease complicating multiple organ failure,such as use of ice-blanket and strategies of vessel protection. As a result,the child recovered well and was discharged after rehabilitation.

Forty nine patients with vesicovaginal fistula underwent transvaginal repair by the use of Foley catheter in our hospital.The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.The success rate of primary operation was 98% (2/49), the mean operation time was (85±8)min, the mean postoperative hospital stay was( 13±2) d, the rate of postoperative urine leakage was 2%(1/49), the mean bladder capacity was (378±53)ml.Transvaginal repair of vesicovaginal fistula by the use of Foley catheter is an effective surgical modality with satisfactory results.

This research is to investigate study the flavonoids from stems of Nelumbo nucifera and the cytotoxic activities of iso- lated compounds. The constituents were separated by column chromatography,and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data analyses. The isolated compounds were evaluated for cytoxic activities by MTT method. Twelve compounds were isolated and identified as rhamnazin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), luteolin-3', 4'-dimethylether-7-O-beta-D-glucoside (2), kaempferol-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->2)-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), quercetin-3,3'-di-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), 1, 8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxyxanthone (5), isorhamnetin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside(6) , kaempferol(7), isorhamnetin (8), quercetin(9), astragalin(10), hyperoside (11) and 1-hy- droxy-3,7,8-trimethoxyxanthone(12). All compounds were isolated from stems of this plant for the first time, and compounds 1-5 were firstly isolated from the family nelumbonaceae. Compounds 24 and 6 showed significant cytotoxic activities against BEL-7402 carcinoma cell lines at a concentration of 1 x 10(-5) mol x L(-1) with the inhibitory rate of 67.36%, 53.25%, 57.78%, 60.13% and 52.11%, respectively.
