Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of raltitrexed and fluorouracil(FU)/leucovorin (LV) combined with oxaliplatin for advanced colorectal cancer. Methods Fifty patients with advanced colorectal cancer diagnosed by histopathology or cytology were randomly divided into two groups with 25 cases each by envelope, but 1 case lost. Patients in experimental group were treated with raltitrexed (3 mg/m2, ≥ 15 min intravenously) combined with oxaliplatin (130 mg/m2 on day 1 ), patients in control group were treated with FU/LV combined with oxaliplatin:LV 100 mg/m2 infusion (over 2 h, from day 1 to day 3 ) followed by FU (400 mg/m2 infusion in 2 h and 600 mg/m2 continuous infusion from day 1 to day 3 ),combined with oxaliplatin ( 130 mg/m2 on day 1 ), 3 weeks were as one cycle. Patients received 6 or less cycles until disease progressed or toxicity could not be tolerated. Results Effective rate was 37.50%(9/24)and 33.33%(8/24) in experimental group and control group respectively (P> 0.05). Disease control rate in experimental group was 83.33% (20/24) while in control group was 70.83% ( 17/24 ) (P > 0.05 ). The median time of progression-free survival (PFS) in experimental group and control group was 11.0 months and 9.0 months respectively (95%CI 8.643-11.357,P =0.015). Main adverse effects were anorexia, vomiting, neutropenia, thrombopenia, anemia, neurotoxicity, fatigue, aminotransferase abnormality, and so on. There was no statistic difference between two groups in side effects(P > 0.05). Conclusions Raltitrexed combined with oxaliplatin is an effective regimen for the advanced colorectal cancer. Compared with traditional FU-based regimen, it is more convenient. Patients will have less venous exposure time and hospital days.Effective rate and mean survival time are superior or not inferior in raltitrexed treatment to that of FU-based regimen. Raltitrexed combined with oxaliplatin is worthy to be recommended in treating colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of tissue-specific gene therapy for bladder cancer using human UroplakinⅡ(UPⅡ) promoter. Methods The recombinant adenoviruses,Ad-hUPⅡ-TNF carrying tumor necrosis factor (TNF-?) under control of the hUPⅡ,were generated.ELISA showed the production and secretion of TNF by bladder cancer cells infected with Ad-hUPⅡ-TNF.The level of TNF in urine was identified with ELISA. Results ELISA showed that production and secretion of TNF by bladder cancer cells infected with Ad-hUPⅡ-TNF was distinctly higher than by non-urothelium cells infected with Ad-hUPⅡ-TNF and MTT showed that proliferation of bladder cancer cells was obviously inhibited.Conditioned medium from bladder cancer cells apparently inhibited cells of L929 proliferation,compared with conditioned medium from non-bladder cells by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.Intravesical inoculation of Ad-hUPⅡ-TNF also caused decreased tumor growth in orthotopic human bladder cancer model.The sustained high level of TNF in urine could be identified with ELISA. Conclusions TNF driven by hUPⅡ promoter has effective active in the inhibition of bladder cancer growth both in vivo and in vitro.These will undoubtedly yield a new approach of therapy for bladder cancer.

OBJECTIVEPresent study was conducted to explore the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Tulipa edulis under different light conditions (23%, 45%, 63%, 78%, 100% of full sunlight) and to determine the optimum light intensity for growth of T. edulis.
METHODThe leaf area and biomass indicators as well as reproductive characteristics were measured. The photosynthetic basic parameters and light response curve were determined by a LI-6400XT portable photosynthesis system, and the light response curve characteristic parameters was determined. Additionally, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were determined by assorted fluorescence leaf chamber of LI-6400XT.
RESULTThe lowest biomass yield was observed in the 23% and 100% of full sunlight treatments while the highest value was found under the 78% of full sunlight conditions. With the reduction of light availability, the success rate of sexual reproduction, light saturation point (LSP) and light compensation point (LCP) reduced, while apparent quantum yield (AQY) increased. 23% and 45% of full sunlight treatments led to lower photosynthesis rate (Pn) and higher apparent quantum yield (AQY) in comparison with other treatents. The highest photosynthesis rate was observed in the 78% and 100% of full sunlight treatments. In addition, 78% of full sunlight treatments led to highest Fv/Fm, Fv'/Fm', PhiPS II, ETR, and qP.
CONCLUSIONT. edulis was able to adapt in a wide range of light intensity, and 78% of full sunlinght was the most suitable light condition for growth of T. edulis.
