AIM: To compare the impacts of adriamycin(ADM) intermittent and continuous heat infusion on respiration, heart rate and temperature of the rabbit as well as the concentration of ADM in VX-2 tumor for the verification of the safety and effectiveness of intermittent heat infusion through VX-2 transplanted tumor model in rabbit liver.METHODS: VX-2 tumor models were established respectively in the thighs of 30 New Zealand rabbits. All 30 rabbits were randomly allocated into three groups with 10 rabbits each. After catheterizing into femoral artery, which was demonstrated as the supply artery of tumors by digital subtraction angiography(DSA), animals in three groups were infused with 100 mL saline at normal temperature and ADM, 100 mL saline at 60 ℃ and ADM continuously and 100 mL saline at 60 ℃ and ADM intermittently respectively. During infusion, the 43 ℃ to 45 ℃ lasting time in the tumor tissues of the two 60 ℃ groups was measured. After infusion, the respiration(time/minute), heart rate(beats/minute) and temperature(℃ )of the rabbits in each group as well as the concentrations of ADM in tumor tissue were measured immediately.RESULTS: The concentration of ADM was (7. 1 ± 2.2) mg/L in normal temperature infusion group, (17.2 ± 1.6) mg/L in 60 ℃ continuous infusion group and(16.5 ±3.4) in 60 ℃ intermittent infusion group. There were significant differences among three groups( F = 48.95, P = 0. 000), but there was no significant difference between 60 ℃ intermittent infusion group and 60 ℃ continuous infusion group( P > 0. 05). 43℃ to 45 ℃ lasting time was(22.5 ±1.4) minutes in 60 ℃continuous infusion and (24.3±2.4)minutes in 60 ℃intermittent infusion group( F =4.20, P > 0.05) . There were significant differences among three groups in respiration, heart rate and temperature( F = 14. 58, 33.07, 10.00, P < 0.01), but there was no significant difference in the respiration, heart rate and temperature between 60℃ intermittent infusion and normal temperature infusion group ( P > 0. 05).CONCLUSION: Intermittent thermochemotherapy is a more effective and safe interventional thermochemotherapy method compared with continuous heat infusion.

Objective Toinvestigate the metabolic characteristics of triglyceride (TG) in the plasma of rabbitswith steroid?induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head and the therapeutic effect of Gushiling Capsule. Methods Rabbit model of femoral head necrosis induced by hormone was established. The level of plasma TG was detected by HPLC/MS and the relationship between the changes of plasma TG level and local histomorphology of femoral head was analyzed. Results Compared with the normal control group, significant changes of plasma TG levels were observed in the model group, the traditional Chinese medicine group and the western medicine group at each time point (P<0.01). However, no significant difference was found between the traditional Chinese medicine group and the western medicine group. Compared with the model group, only a small amount of high signal joint imaging and central signal of the femoral head were found by the MRI examination in the traditional Chinese medicine group and the western medicine group. Pathology assay results showed the degree of femoral head osteonecrosis in the Chinese medicine group was milder than that in the Western medicine group. Conclusion Gushiling Capsule and western medicine Simvastatin have the similar effect of reducing plasma TG, which may be one of the mechanisms underlying Gushiling Capsule preventing steroid?induced femoral head necrosis.

Objective To study the changes in the immune function of advanced hepatic carcinoma patients after thermochemoembo-lization via hepatic artery. Methods Forty advanced hepatic carcinoma patients were randomized divided into 2 groups. A group (n=20) was treated by perfusion with ADM(40mg) + MMC(10mg) in 37℃ 9% sodium chloride solution via hepatic artery, and B group (n=20) was treated by perfusion with ADM(40mg) + MMC(10mg) in 60℃ 9% sodium chloride solution via hepatic artery, then all were embolized with some quantity of lipiodol. Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to detect the changes in percentages of T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3<'3, CD4<'+, CD8<'+) and NK cells, and the contents of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) were detected by double sandwich ELISA before and after therapy. LDH enzyme-release assay was used to detect cytotoxic activity of NK cells. Results Compared with pre-therapy group or A group after therapy, the percentage of CD4<'+ cells of B group after therapy significantly increased (P<0.05), the percentages of CD8<'+ cells and the content of sIL-2R of B group after therapy markedly decreased (P<0.05). The percentages of NK cells and cytotoxic activity NK cells of B group after therapy were significantly higher than those from pre-therapy group or A group (P<0.05). Conclusion Intra-arterial thermochemoembolization may activate and improve cell-mediated immune function with a certain degree.
