In vivo imaging system (IVIS) is a new and rapidly expanding technology, which has a wide range of applications in life science such as cell tracing. By counting the number of photons emitted from a specimen, IVIS can quantify biological events such as tumor growth. We used B16F10-luc-G5 tumor cells and 20 Babl/C mice injected subcutaneously with B16F10-luc-G5 tumor cells (1x10(6) in 100 muL) to develop a method to quantitatively analyze cells traced by IVIS in vitro and in vivo, respectively. The results showed a strong correlation between the number of tumor cells and the intensity of bioluminescence signal (R (2)=0.99) under different exposure conditions in in vitro assay. The results derived from the in vivo experiments showed that tumor luminescence was observed in all mice by IVIS at all days, and there was significant difference (P<0.01) between every two days from day 3 to day 14. Moreover, tumor dynamic morphology could be monitored by IVIS when it was invisible. There was a strong correlation between tumor volume and bioluminescence signal (R (2)=0.97) by IVIS. In summary, we demonstrated a way to accurately carry out the quantitative analysis of cells using IVIS both in vitro and in vivo. The data indicate that IVIS can be used as an effective and quantitative method for cell tracing both in vitro and in vivo.

Aim To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of astragaloside Ⅳ on hypertrophy induced by angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ)in primary cultured cardiomyocytes of neonatal rats.Methods Cardiomyo-cytes were incubated with AngⅡ to establish the hypertrophy model of primary cultured cardiomyocytes in neonatal rats.AST 10 mg?L-1 or 20 mg?L-1 were added with AngⅡ simultaneously to observe its protective effects on cardiomyocytes.The diameter and the total protein content of cardiomyocyte were measured.The intracellular free calcium concentration([Ca2+]i),activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPases(SERCA)and activity of calcineurin(CaN)were determined.Results Compared with control group,diameter and total protein content of cardiomyocyte induced by AngⅡ were increased significantly,which were inhibited by AST 10 mg?L-1 and 20 mg?L-1,respectively(P

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of combining contralateral needling and tendon-bone balancing Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)in treating scapulohumeral periarthritis(SP). Methods:Sixty-eight eligible participants were chosen and randomized into an acupuncture group and an acupuncture plus Tuina group,with 34 cases in each group.The acupuncture group received treatment with contralateral needling,and the acupuncture plus Tuina group was treated with contralateral needling combined with tendon-bone balancing Tuina.The post-treatment changes in the Constant-Murley score for comprehensive shoulder function,visual analog scale(VAS)score for pain,and shoulder range of motion(ROM)score were compared after 2 treatment courses to estimate the clinical efficacy in the two groups. Results:After treatment,the total effective rate was 96.7%in the acupuncture plus Tuina group versus 83.9%in the acupuncture group,showing a significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05).The Constant-Murley shoulder function score increased in the acupuncture plus Tuina group after the intervention;a decreased VAS pain score and an increased shoulder ROM score were found in both groups.After 1 and 2 treatment courses,the between-group comparisons of the Constant-Murley and shoulder ROM scores showed statistical significance(P<0.05).Regarding the VAS score,the acupuncture plus Tuina group was lower than the acupuncture group after the first treatment course(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between the two groups after 2 treatment courses(P>0.05). Conclusion:Contralateral needling plus tendon-bone balancing Tuina can produce more significant clinical efficacy and relieve pain faster than contralateral needling alone in treating SP.

Objective To compare the difference of protein and lipid metabolism between patients with inflammatory bowel disease and healthy controls,and to investigate the association of these changes with disease activity and location of the lessions.Methods The retrospective cohort study was carried out.The data of protein and lipid metabolisms collected from 195 patients with ulcerative colitis,76patients with Crohn's disease and 97 healthy controls during 1995 to 2007 were analyzed.Disease activity were evaluated using simple clinieal colitis activity index and simple index of Crohn's disease activity.The erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)and C-reactive protein(CRP)were measured.Results Serum levels of ESR in patients with ulcerative colitis were negatively linear correlated with serum levels of albumin/globulin ratio(β=-0.521,P＜0.01)and positively linear correlated with serum levels of α2globulin(β=0.319,P＜0.01).Serum levels of globulin in patients with Crohn's disease were positively linear correlated with serum levels of ESR(β=0.558,P＜0.01)and CRP(β=0.424,P=0.01).In ulcerative colitis,serum levels of albumin/globulin ratio,albumin and total cholesterol were significantly higher in patients with proctosigmoiditis than those in patients with lesions at other locus(P=0.003,0.005,0.038,respectively).In Crohn's disease,serum level of globulin was significantly higher in patients with lesions only at colon than that in patients with lesions only at small bowel(P=0.029).Conclusions Serum levels of albumin/globulin ratio and α2-globulin can be predictors of inflammatory activity in patients with ulcerative colitis.The increasing serum globulin may predict the progression of disease activity in patients with Crohn's disease.The nutritional deficiency is more critical in patiens with small bowel involvement than those with colon involvement.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction and purification technology of total flavonoids from Engelhardia roxburghi-ana,and to establish the method for the content determination of 3 kinds of effective components. METHODS:Using the extrac-tion transfer rate of astilbin as index,single factor test was used to investigate extraction solvent,extraction method,volume frac-tion of percolation solvent ethanol,percolation material-liquid ration,soaking time before percolation and percolation rate of extrac-tion technology,and volume fraction of eluant ethanol in AB-8 resin purification technology. The contents of 3 effective compo-nents as astilbin,texifolin and engelitin in total flavonoids from E. roxburghiana were determined by HPLC.

Objective To investigate the effects of prophylactic antiviral therapy for HBV DNA negative HBV-relat-ed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients undergoing hepatic arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Methods Fifty-four consecutive patients with HBV-related HCC and received TACE were enrolled in this study. Thirty patients received pre-emptive antiviral drugs before TACE were defined as the treatment group. Twenty-four patients, who did not use antiviral drugs until HBV reactivation after TACE, were included in control group. The incidence of HBV reactivation, duration from HBV DNA positive point to the last time of TACE, the occurrence of abnormal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) caused by HBV reactivation, the peak of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and the number of liver failure caused by HBV reactivation were observed after TACE in two groups. Results The incidence of HBV reactivation, the occurrence of abnormal ALT, the occurrence of abnormal ALT caused by HBV reactivation, the peak ALT and peak AST were significantly lower in treatment group than those of control group (P ＜ 0.05). No liver failure caused by HBV reactivation was found in treatment group. There were four patients with liver failure caused by HBV reactivation in control group. There was no significant difference in cumulative survival rate between two groups (P=0.071). Conclusion It is suggested that preemptive antiviral therapy can prevent the reactivation of hepatitis B virus, prevent the deterioration of liver function,and decrease the occurrence of liv-er failure caused by HBV reactivation in patients receiving TACE.
