OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the inhibitory actions of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro.METHODS:The IC50(50% inhibiting concentration)of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro was measured by MTT assay.RESULTS:The inhibitory actions of 3 traditional Chinese drugs on human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells CNE-2 in vitro were enhanced with the increase of the concentration in a concentration-dependent manner,with formulation Ⅲ showing the most potent inhibitory action on CNE-2 cells in vitro.CONCLUSION:The heat-clearing and detoxicating traditional Chinese drugs could markedly inhibit the proliferation of CNE-2 cells.

Purpose To detect the expressions of stress induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1) and estrogen receptor-α(ER-α) in papil-lary thyroid carcinoma and to analyse the relationship between STIP1 and ER-α. Methods 54 cases of paraffin-embedded tissues of papillary thyroid carcinoma, 18 cases of papillary thyroid carcinoma with lymph node metastasis, 15 cases of Hashimoto’ s thyroiditis, 10 cases of adjacent normal thyroid tissue were collected. The expressions of STIP1 and ER-αwere detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between the expressions and clinicopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma was analyzed. Results The expression of STIP1 and ER-α in papillary thyroid cancer group ( 55. 6% and 44. 4%) were higher than that of normal thyroid group (10% and 0) and Hashimoto’s thyroiditis group (8. 3% and 0, all P<0. 05). STIP1 expressions was related to lymph node metastasis ( P<0. 05 ) , while ER-α expression was related to gender, TG-Ab and the merger of nodular goiter, but not related to lymph node metastasis (P>0. 05). The expressions of STIP1 and ER-α in papillary thyroid carcinoma were not related to patients’ age , tumor location, number of tumors, tumer size, invasion of capsule, the concomitant Hashimoto’ s thyroiditis and TPO-Ab ( all P>0. 05). And the expressions of STIP1 was not related to gender, TG-Ab and the merger of nodular goiter (all P>0. 05). A positive correlation was found between the expressions of STIP1 and ER-αin thyroid papillary carcinoma (P<0. 05). Conclusion STIP1 and ER-α in papillary thyroid carcinoma may be related with lymph node metastasis.

Objective To investigate the pathogenetic mechanism of ubiquitin-proteasome dysfunction in a model of Parkinson's disease(PD),which can provide the theoretical basis for PD.Methods After establishment of PD model induced by PSI in PC12 cells,proteins of untreated(DMSO) and PSI-treated PC12 cells were extracted 36 h after incubation,and then the maps of the extracted proteins were established by DIGE system.The altered protein spots were identified with MALDI-TOF Pro MS and database searching.Results Thirty-six treatment of PC12 cells with PSI induced the appearance of cytoplasmic Lewy body-like eosinophilic inclusions and apoptosis.The percentage of apoptotic cells was 25.53%.ERp29 were identified by MALDITOF Pro MS.The expression of ERp29 decreased in treatment group,compared with normal group(P

Positron emission tomography (PET) and PET/CT are playing increasingly important roles in the clinical evaluation and treatment of tumors. As neuroendocrine tissues, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland have their unique features, and PET can be valuable in evaluating hypothalamic-pituitary diseases lesions. This article reviews the application of PET in the clinical evaluation and treatment of hypothalamic-pituitary diseases.

OBJECTIVE:To study the antipyretic and analgesic effects of Compound tuniuxi sirup.METHODS:Fever was induced by dry yeast in SD rats,then divided the rats into high-dose(33.12g/kg),medium-dose(16.56g/kg),low-dose(8.28g/kg)and control,aspirin group,observed the antipyretic effect;The mice were divided into high-dose(47.84g/kg),medium-dose(23.92g/kg),low-dose(11.96g/kg)and control,aspirin group,then were investigated with hot plate and acetic acid induced body twist.RESULTS:Compound tuniuxi sirup can markedly inhibit the fever in the model anmals 1 hour later,the effect of the high,medium groups are similar to aspirin;and could increase the pain threshold obviously(the low-dose group is obviously in 1.5h～2h(P

AIM: To observe the effects of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) on the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells(NSCs) of rats in vitro.METHODS: NSCs isolated from the hippocampal gyrus of SD rats were primary cultured and subcultured,and then divided into two groups:(1) the cells in VEGF group were treated with 150 ?g/L VEGF in the culture system,and VEGF was removed at the 7 th day;(2) control group(without VEGF treatment).The cellular morphology of two groups was observed by contrast phase microscope.Nestin and NF-200 expressing cells were detected via immunofluorescence method.The percentages of the immunostaining positive cells in each group at the 7 th day and at the 11 th day were determined.RESULTS: At the 7 th day,the percentage of nestin positive cells in VEGF group was 52.19%?7.95%,vs 29.26%?4.12% in control group(P

Objective:To study the effects of compound preparation of Fanshiliu on lipid metabolism and pancreatic pathological changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)rats with insulin resistance. Methods:After fed with high-calorie food for 8 weeks,the rats received intraperitoneal injection with low dose of streptozotocin(STZ)to induce T2DM animal model,and then the rats were randomly divided into the model group,metformin group,high and low dose group of compound preparation of Fanshiliu. The normal group was given ordinary feed. The rats were sacrified after intragastric administration for six weeks,and fasted for 12 hours after the last administration. The lipid and lipoprotein indices were detected,and pathological morphology of pancreatic tissue was observed. Results:Compared with those in the model group,TC,TG,LDL-C and FFA in each treatment group were reduced,and HDL-C was increased(P < 0. 05). Fanshiliu high dose group and metformin group had obvious hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering effects. The results of pathological morphology of pancreatic tissue under a light microscope showed that the damage was the most obvious in the model group. Compound preparation of Fanshiliu groups and metformin group showed damage in varying degrees. Conclusion:Fanshiliu preparation can effectively adjust blood lipid levels,enhance the insulin sensitivity and reduce damage in pancreas in T2DM rats.
