1.Mechanisms of COX-2 inhibitors combinated with cisplatin for lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):200-202
Selective COX-2 inhibitors can promote the apoptosis of tumor cells and block the growth of new blood vessels through the inhibition of ring oxidase,vascular endothelial growth factor,microvessel and so on. Research shows that COX-2 is overexpressed in vascular and endothelial cells of lung cancer,select COX-2 inhibitors to adjuvant chemotherapy,not only can directly inhibit the tumor proliferation,but also can reduce the adverse reaction of chemotherapy drugs,and enhance the curative effect. To investigate the effects of selec-tive COX-2 inhibitors and cisplatin in lung cancer angiogenesis and its mechanism,will be a hope for the clini-cal treatment of tumor.
2.COX-2 and its inhibitors in lung cancer drug resistance
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):203-205
COX-2 is the inducible form of cyclooxygenase,which is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer,especially in the adenocarcinoma,and is involved in the production of lung cancer drug resistance, reducing the sensitivities of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. COX-2 inhibitors have the effects of antitumor and prevention of tumor formation. Therefore,in order to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells,improve the sur-vival rate and the prognosis of patients with tumor,the application of COX-2 inhibitors as adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with chemotherapy drugs has become a new direction in the treatment of lung cancer.

Objective To explore the influence and its efficacy of Tong-Xinluo capsule on plasma endothelin levels in the patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods 60 patients with ACI enrolled within 72 h of onset were allocated to Tong-Xinluo group(n=30) or control group(n=30) randomly.The control group was treated with Piracetam and aspirin,while Tong-Xinluo was provided 4 tablets tid for 30 d together with Piracetam and aspirin in the other group.Before and at 30th day after treatment,the patients were evaluated by European stroke scale(ESS) and activities of daily living(ADL),and the changes of ESS and ADL were served as the index of efficacy.The plasma level of endothelin-1(ET-1) was tested in the meanwhile.Results 30th day after treatment,there was a significant derease of ET-1 both in Tong-Xinluo group [(40.3?20.5)pg/ml] and control group [(31.5?14.7)pg/ml](P

Objective To explore the treatment methods and clinical result with the flap combining peroneus longus muscle supplying with the nutrient vessels of sural nerve to repaire the chronic achilles tendon rupture with skin defect.Methods After anatomic investigating,Analyzing 6 cases.Excising peroneus lon- gus muscle combining with the foot external flap,supplying with the pediele of the nutrient vessels of sural nerve to repaire the chronic achilles tendon rupture with skin defect,among them,the size of flap was about 6.0 cm?5.5 cm~16.5 cm?11.0 cm,the defect length of achilles tendon 2.0~7.5 cm.Results All ca- ses observed 4 to 16 months,all eases skin and achilles tendon were survived completely,the flap skin appear- ence was good,none ulcer.1 cases part necrosis,1 eases rerupture,Both healed after changed dressings.Ac- cording to Arner-Lindholm criteria to test the efficacy the result were excellent in 3 patients,good in 2,poor in 1.Conclusion It is an ideal way using the flap combining peroneus logus muscle with the nutrient vessels of sural nerve repairing the chronic achilles tendon rupture with skin defect.The advantage is operting conven- iently,transferred adjaeently,repairing the skin and tendon defect simultaneously,healing fastly and anti-bac- teria strongly,biomeehanies property and function is similar to the heel,it can fit the heel and skin for repai- ring.

Objective To investigate the relationship between diastolic function of the left ventricle and common carotid artery (CCA) elasticity in patients with hypertension. Methods Forty-one primary hypertension patients and 31 healthy volunteers underwent echocardiography to obtain the indices of LV diastolic function and also echo tracking techniqne (ET) to obtain the CCA elasticity indices. The LV diastolic function indices included Ve (early diastolic peak velocity), Va (late diastolic peak velocity ), Ve/Va, Em (early diastolic mitral annular motive velicity), Am (late diastolic mitral annular motive velicity) and Em/Am. The indices of CCA elasticity included Ep (pressure-strain elasticity modulus), β(stiffness parameter), AC (arterial compliance), AI (augmentation index) and PWVβ (pulse wave velocity). Results Va was higher and Em, Ve/Va and Em/Am were lower in patients than that in the healthy , P<0.05. Ep and PWVβ were higher in patients,P<0.05. Am and Va were correlated positively with PWV β and Ep , respectively in patients, P<0.05. Ve/Va was correlated positively with AC, and negatively with PWV β, P<0.05 in patients. Em/Am was correlated negatively with β and PWV β in patients. Conclusions The LV diastolic function and common carotid artery elasticity were decreased in patients with hypertension. The decreased common carotid artery elasticity was along with the LV diastolic function decreased.

The methods for aptamer selection have been modified and developed in recent years. Selection efficiency has been increased due to the improvement in separation of bound and unbound nucleic acids; applicability of aptamers has been improved due to the development of primer-free SELEX and the utilization of short oligonucleotide library; more research requirements have been satisfied due to the functional modifications of aptamer selection methods. All the methodological advances enhance the potential value of aptamers in basic researches and clinical applications.

Aim To observe the neuroprotective effect of platelet activating factor receptor antagonist Kadsurenone on rat brain with cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Methods Animal model was established through middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO).we studied the changes of infarct volume,NAA and Lactate in Kadsurenone-treated group with DWI and()~1H-MRS examination after cerebral ischemia 60 min and reperfusion 1,3,6 h.Results Significant reductions in infarct volume were found in the Kadsurenone-treated group as well as in the Ginkgolides-treated group compared with the control group.And Kadsurenone decreased the concentration of lactate and prevented the decline of the concentration of NAA after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion.Conclusion As platelet-activating factor receptor antagonists,both Kadsurenone and Ginkgolides show remarkable neuroprotective effect.And MRI offers exact neuroimaging information for studying the neuroprotective meachnism of Chinese traditional medicine after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion.
