Objective To determine the inhibitive effect of interferon-a on hepatic metastasis of colon cancer. Methods Metastatic model of human colon cancer was established by orthotopic implantation of histologically intact human tumor tissue into the colon wall of nude mice.The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:(1)Control group(receiving saline solution only);(2)5-FU treatment group;(3) IFN-?-2b treatment group;and(4)5-FU combined with IFN-?-2b treatment group(combined group). 5-FU and IFN-?-2b were given via peritoneum injection 1 time/2 days for eight weeks.The mice were killed at nine weeks.The tumors were weighed,the microvessel density(MVD) was detected,and the liver was examined histologically in order to discover the micrometastasis. Results In control group, 5-FU group,IFN-2b group and combined group,the tumor weight was(1.53?0.78)g,(0.87?0.59)g,(0.81?0.43)g and ( 0.23?0.09)g, respectively;the tumor inhibition rate was 0,43.1%,47.1% and 84.9%, respectively;the hepatic metastasis rate was 85.7%,78.6%,21.4% and 0 respectively.MVD in IFN-? group and combined group was significant lower than that in control group and 5-FU group. Conclusions IFN-? can inhibit the growth and hepatic metastasis of orthotopic implanted human colon cancer by inhibiting the tumor angiogenesis.It may be more effective when INF-? combined with cyotoxic agents.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Reduning injection (RI) on influenza A virus (IAV) and its mechanism. We evaluated the cytotoxicity of RI in A549 and MDCK cells by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. Western blot and cytopathic effect (CPE) assays were applied to test the effects of RI on viral protein, CPE and virus virulence to evaluate its inhibitory effect. The proteins level of heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), phosphorylation of P38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1/2 (ERK1/2) were detected by Western blot. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the RNA expression of interferon-α/β (IFN-α/β). The relative luciferase reporter assay was used to analyze the promoter activity and transcriptional regulation of Nrf2. The results indicated that RI inhibited IAV-induced MDCK cytopathies in a dose-dependent manner, decreased M2 protein of influenza virus and viral titer, indicating that it has definite effect on inhibiting IAV. RI promotes the phosphorylation of P38 MAPK and ERK1/2, activates the activity of Nrf2 nuclear transcription factor, increases the expression of Nrf2 protein in the nucleus, thus up-regulates the expression of HO-1 protein, and ultimately increases the IFN-α/β mRNA level. In summary, our results demonstrated that RI inhibits the replication of IAV by activating MAPK/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, revealing a new mechanism of RI against influenza virus, and providing theoretical basis for clinical treatment of influenza virus.

Objective To observe the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb) on intestinal function after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods 36 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into group A (n=12), group B (n=12) and group C (n=12). SCI model was established with Allen's mode (10 g×25 mm) at T10. 30 minutes later, group A was intraperitoneally injected with methylprednisolone 30 mg/kg every 24 hours; group B was injected with Shuxuening injection (EGb) 1.75 mg/kg every 24 hours; group C were injected with equal volume of saline. The slow wave of intestinal smooth muscle was measured, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in serum were determined 1 day, 3 days and 7 days after modeling, while intestinal tissue was tested with HE staining. Results The amplitude and frequency of the myoelectric slow wave increased in the groups A and B 3 and 7 days after modeling compared with those in the group C (P<0.05); meanwhile, the activity of SOD increased and content of MDA decreased in the groups A and B (P<0.05). The HE scores decreased in the groups A and B compared with those in the group C (P<0.05), which presented that the inflammatory exudation was mild, the hemorrhagic spot was few and the area was limited. The intestinal villous of the group C was blunt with large infiltration of inflammatory cells and inflammatory exudate on the mucosal surface. Conclusion EGb can improve the recovery of intestinal function in rats spinal cord injury through antioxidant.

Objective To investigate the effect of acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) combined with controlled hypotension (CH) on the extravascular lung water (EVLW) and oxygenation in elderly orthopaedic surgery patients.Methods Forty-five elderly orthopaedics surgery patients,23 males,22 females,aged 65-75 years old,ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=15 each).Group A,served as control,received regular routine transfusion and intraoperative crystalloid fluids and colloidal liquid to add volume.Group B,namely ANH group,received normovolemic hemodilution till Hct reaching 30% after induction of anesthesia.Group C,ANH combined with CH group,received ANH with Hct reaching 30% after induction of anesthesia,and the patients were continuously pumped nitroglycerin combined with esmolol for controlled hypotension.The target mean arterial pressure controlled and cut by 30% below the basic value.We collected arterial blood for blood gas analysis at 5 points: before before induction of anesthesia (T1),immediately after ANH (T2),30 min after ANH (T3),30 min after CH (T4),immediately after surgery (T5).Meanwhile the MAP,HR,PaO2,SpO2,Hct,HCO3-,pH,cardiac index (CI),stroke volume variation (SVV),stroke volume index (SVI),extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and intrathoracic blood volume index (ITBVI) were recorded.Blood loss,urine output after surgery and the operation time were also recorded.Results The volumes of autoblood removed had no significant difference between group B and group C,and no autoblood was removed in group A.The volume of blood loss in group C was significantly less than that in group A and group B (P<0.05).Six cases in group A,one case in group B and none in group C needed homologous allogeneic blood transfusion.Compared with T1,MAP,HR,CI,SVI and Hct were significantly decreased at T2-T5 (P<0.05),but all those are stable in the normal range.Compared with T1,SVV was significantly decreased at T2-T4 (P<0.05).Compared with T1,ITBVI,PaO2 and SpO2 were increased at T2-T5 (P<0.05),but all those are stable in the normal range.CI and SVI at T2 in group A was significantly lower than that in group B and C.Compared with group A and B,MAP at T4 in group C were significantly decreased and SVV at T4 in group C were significantly increased(P<0.05).Urine output,the operation time,EVLWI,HCO3-and pH in three groups had no significant difference.Conclusion Acute normovolemic hemodilution combined with controlled hypotension has an effect of saving blood in elderly patients,without any influence on the extravascular lung water and oxygenation,which can be used safely in elderly patients which they are monitored.

Objective To investigate the expression of osteopontin(OPN) mRNA in breast tissues containing microcalcifications and the significance of OPN in tumor pathogenesis and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods The expression of OPNmRNA in 128 samples of tissues of breast lesions and adjacent breast tissues and 9 samples of metastatic lymph nodes were examined.Results The expression of OPNmRNA was highest in(calcified) foci of breast cancer tissues and in metastatic lynph nodes,lower in calcified foci of benign breast tissues and lowest in breast tissues adjacent to breast cancer and in benign tissues without calcification.The differences between the defferent tissues were significant(all P
