Balb/c mice with HAC murine hepatic cancer were fed with oyster extract at a daily dose of 0. 2 ml (20 mg) for ten successive days. We found that the tumor-caused decreased immunological indicarors including total T cell number, the ratio of helper T cells, the transformation strength induced by mitogens, and NK activity increased markedly. Compared with the control, mice fed with oyster extract showed prolonged survive and their tumor weight reduced significantly. When mice earring human colon cancer were fed with oyster extract at the same dose for 15 days, the tumor size reduced to 44. 6% of the control tumors. The possiblity that oyster extract inhibits tumor growth by enhencing host immune function, especially killer cell activity, was discussed.

Objective To study the influences by a Cyelin-dependent kinase inhibitor Roscovitine on cell cycle in mitotic hepatoma carcinoma cell SMMC-7721. Methods Microscope,MTT, flow cytometry and R-T PCR were used to observe the effects of Roscovitine on morphology, proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis and the mRNA expression of CDK2, Caspase-3, bcl-2 in SMMC-7721 cells. Results Roscovitine inhibited the proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells in dosage and time dependent manner and induced apoptosis. Flow cytometry showed the ratio of G0, G1 increased. R-T PCR showed that the expression of bcl-2 reduced, Caspase-3 increased. Conclusion Reseovitine can inhibit the growth, proliferation, block the cell cycle at G0/G1 and promotes apoptosis of mitotic SMMC-7721 cells, and the mechanism of apoptosis is dependent on the activity of bcl-2 and Caspase-3.

Objective:To establish the median databases of serum markers for Down's syndrome screening during the second trimester of pregnancy women in the north-central area of Jiangxi Province.Methods:Time-resolved fluorometry was used to detect the serum contents of AFP free β-hCG and uE3 in 57 548 pregnant women during 15-20 gestational weeks.Risk evaluation was conducted by LifeCycle 4.0.SAS 9.2 software was used to establish a model of the median fitted equation.The newly constructed median system was used to reassess the risk of Down's syndrome development in pregnant women.Results:The medianand built in medianof north-central region in Jiangxi Province are significantly different (Z=2.201,P=0.028).The relationship between the median of the triple index and the gestational age was analyzed by the weight regression model.The relationship between the MoM value and the weight was used to calculate the reciprocal model.The median of the new system was more efficiency than the built in median.In the median of the new system than the reference,the detection rate improved from 62.75％ to 72.55％,false positive rate reduced by 5.84％ to 4.94％.Conclusion:The newly constructed median system is suitable for Down's syndrome screening in the north-central region of Jiangxi Province.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of oetreotide (OCT) on DENA related hepatoeareinogenesis in rats. Methods Fresh diethylnitrosamine (DENA) solution was given to induce the model of rat hepatoeellular carcinoma. The rats were divided randomly into two groups: OCT treatment group and control group. The survival rate and hepatoeareinogenesis rate were observed. SSTR2 mRNA and protein expression were measured. Results The survival rote of OCT treatment group (70.0%, 7/10) was significantly higher than that of control group (30.0%, 6/20) (X2 = 4.344, P<0.05). 16 weeks after DENA treatment, the difference of bepatoearcinogenesis rate between the two groups was not remarkable though the value of OCT treatment group (0%, 0/10) was lower than that of control groups (30.0%, 6/20)(X2 = 3.750, P＞0.05). However, 22 weeks after DENA treatment, hepatoeareinogenesis in control group (83.3%, 10/12) was markedly higher than that in OCT treatment group (22.2% , 2/9)(X2 =7.843, P<0.01). With liver cirrhosis progressing, the expressions of SSTR2 mRNA and protein increased, and reached the peak 16 weeks after DENA treatment, then began to decrease. The expressions of SSTR2 mRNA and protein in hepatocellular carcinoma were significantly lower than those in the liver 22 weeks after DENA treatment (F = 35.010 and 13. 386, P<0.01). The expression levels in OCT treatment group were similar to those in control group 8 and 16 weeks after DENA treatment. But the expression levels in OCT group 22 weeks after DENA treatment didn't lower markedly, and were higher significantly than those in control group (t = 2.806 and 4.498, P<0.05). Conclusion OCT can inhibit efficiently hepatocareinogenesis and reduce the mortality of rots treated with DENA possibly by a mechanism maintaining the expression levels of SSTR2.

AIM: To investigate whether Flk1~+ CD31~- CD34~- cells isolated from human adult adipose tissue have characteristics of hemangioblasts in vivo. METHODS: After sublethally irradiated (300cGy) with a caesium source, the female non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice were injected with human adipose tissue-derived Flk1~+ CD31~- CD34~- cells (10~5 cells per mouse) via tail vain with 0.4 mL Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (RPMI-1640). The control mice received the same volume of RPMI-1640 medium. All mice were killed 2 months after transplantation for further study. The differentiation potential of Flk1~+ CD31~- CD34~- cells was assessed in bone marrow and gastrointestinal tract by the methods of flow cytometry, RT-PCR, FISH, and triple-color immunofluorescence. RESULTS: Flk1~+ CD31~- CD34~- human adipose tissue-derived adult stem cells differentiated into endothelial cells and hematopoietic cells at the single-cell level in vivo. CONCLUSION: Human adult adipose tissue-derived Flk1~+ CD31~- CD34~- cells bear characteristics of hemangioblast in vivo and may have potential application for the treatment of hematopoietic and vascular diseases.
