Objective To establish a human colon cancer multi-drug resistant cell line LS174T/5-fluorouracil(5-Fu) and to explore its biological characteristics. Methods A resistant human colon cancer line LS174T/5-Fu was established by stepwise increasing concentrations of fluorouracil selection from the parental cell line LS174T.Drug sensitivity was detected by MTT assay,and the changes of biological characteristics were determined by light microscopy,cell counting,flow cytometry and RT-PCR. Results LS174T/5-Fu cell line was developed after 6 months with stable resistance to 5-Fu and a resistance index of 40.24.The cells exhibited cross-resistance to cisplatin,etoposide,doxifluridine and hydeoxycamptothecin.LS174T/5-Fu cells grew more slowly than LS174T cells,which was longer than LS174T cell line.Cell cycle distribution of LS174T/5-Fu cells was changed compared with parental cells.The percentage of cells in G_(1) and S phase was increased,while in G_(2) phase was decreased.The level of MRP mRNA expression was increased according to the concentration of 5-Fu in resistant cell lines. Conclusion LS174T/5-Fu cells is a reliable multi-drug resistant cell subline of human colon cancer.The successful establishment of this cell subline has laid a solid foundation for further study of the multi-drug resistant mechanism of human colon cancer induced by 5-fluorouracil.

Objective To investigate the effects of ketamine on anoxia-reoxygenation(A/R)induced glutamate release from cerebral cortex neurons.Methods Primary cultured neurons obtained from cerebral cortex of fetal Wistar rats(16-18 d)were randomly divided into 3 groups:Ⅰcontrol group;ⅡA/R group andⅢketamine pretreatment+I/R group.The control group was not subjected to A/R while A/R group was exposed to anoxic air(95% N_2+5% CO_2)for 5 h followed by 24 h reoxygenation.In groupⅢdifferent doses of ketamine were added to the culture media before anoxia and the final ketamine concentrations were 1,20 and 100?mol?L~(-1) respectively.The extracellular glutamate concentration was detected at the end of 24 h reoxygenation.Results The extracellular glutamate concentration was significantly higher after 24 h reoxygenation in A/R group than in control group.Ketamine 20 and 100?mol?L~(-1) significantly inhibited glutamate release from the neurons induced by A/R in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Ketamine can inhibit glutamate release from neurons induced by A/R in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To assess the value of ultrasound examination in transvaginal diagnosis of normal fetal heart with 11-14 weeks of gestation.Methods Totally 158 cases of normal fetal heart with high risk pregnancy and nuchal translucency thickness were examined by two ultrasoud approaches:transvaginal(TVS) and tranabdomina(TAS) in 11-14 weeks of gestation.Results The group of TVS was obviously clearer than TAS by displaying the normal fetal cardiac structural in 12 week of gestation and 13-14 weeks of gestation with significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05),respectively.No significant difference between the two groups in 11 week of gestation was observed.Conclusion The transvaginal echocardiogram is of clinical value in the high risk gravida during the late first and the early second trimester.
9.The role of macrophages in wound age estimation during the wound healing process.
Journal of Forensic Medicine 2003;19(2):122-125
The article reviewed the advance and the forensic meaning of macrophage on the wound age estimation during the wound healing process in resent years. It has also been summarized the relationship between macrophages and wound age estimation on the expression of cytokines derived from macrophages, the changes of macrophage phenotypes and the development process of phagosomes in macrophages after wounding. It is suggested that some regular and characteristic changes of macrophage should be a useful mark to wound age estimation and reminds therefore further study in this field.

Paeoniflorin is the main active ingredient of Chinese herbaceous peony. This study is to investigate the protective effect of paeoniflorin (Pae) on acute brain damage induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in mice. The mice were randomly assigned to the normal control, model control (LPS), as well as groups of paeoniflorin and lipopolysaccharide (Pae + LPS). Then the mice were administered intraperitioneally with normal saline or Pae (10, 30 mg · kg(-1)) once daily for 6 d. One hour after intrapertioneally treatment on the seventh day, each group were injected LPS (5 mg · kg(-1)) to establish the endotoxin lipopolysaccharide inflammation model except the normal group. The mice were sacrificed after 6 h and the brain homogenates were prepared and measured. The malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), succinatedehydrogenase (SDH), Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase were dectected by the colorimetric method. The levels of HO-1 and Nrf2 protein in subcellular fractions of brain tissue were detected by Western blot. The results demonstrated that the administration with paeoniflorin reduced the levels of the MDA production; significantly increase the activities of antioxidant enzyme (SOD and GSH-PX). In addition, paeoniflorin could enhance the total antioxidant capacity, decrease the level of H2O2, and increase the activities of SDH, Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-Mg(2+)-ATPase. Furthermore, paeoniflorin can increase the expression of HO-1 and activate the nuclear transfer of Nrf2. Taking together, these findings suggest that paeoniflorin alleviate the acute inflammation in mice brain damage induced by LPS, which is related with its antioxidant effect and improvement of energy metabolism.
