Objective To investigate the enhancing effect of Celecoxib on the anti-proliferative effect of cisplatin (DDP) against human cervical carcinoma HeLa cells and to explore the possible mechanism. Methods After treatment of HeLa cells with Celecoxib or/and DDP, the growth suppression of HeLa cells was measured by MTT assay. Cell cycle and apoptosis were examined by flow cylometry. Results The inhibition of Celecoxib on HeLa cells was dose -dependent and time -dependent.The inhibitory effect was remarkable enhanced in asynergistic or additive pattern after treatment with the combination of Celecoxib and DDP (P =0.000) . Celecoxib (50 μmol/L) and DDP (16 μmol/L) could respectively induce the apoptosis of HeLa cells and this effect of apoptosis induction was increased when combinated Celecoxib with DDP. They could change cell cycle of HeLa cells lines with G_0/G_1 phase cells increasing and S phase cells decreasing. Conclusion Celecoxib combined with DDP shows synergistic anti-tumor effects.

AIM:To observe autophagic apoptosis induced by docetaxel in cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro,and explore its potential molecular mechanism. METHODS:Cervical cancer HeLa cells in vitro were treated with docetaxel of different concentrations (1,5,10,20,40 ?g/mL) and different time (6,12,24,48,72 h). The growth inhibiting of HeLa cells was observed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay. Inverted microscope and electron microscopy were used to observe cell morphological changes. The apoptosis ratio and cell cycle were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). The expression of autophagy gene Beclin 1 was examined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) technique. RESULTS:Docetaxel inhibited the proliferation of cervical cancer HeLa cells in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner(P

Objective To study the effect of mitomycin C(MMC)‐chitosan (CS)sustained release microspheres on the scar‐ring prevention of the filtering passage during glaucoma filtering surgery .Methods Filtering surgery model was established on 96 eyes of 48 healthy adult New Zealand white rabbits which were divided into 4 groups ,24 eyes in each group .The right eyes implan‐ted MMC‐CS microspheres in 24 rabbits(group A) ,whereas that of the fellow eyes implanted empty CS microspheres(group B) , and in other 24 rabbits which right eyes only used 0 .20 mg/mL MMC cotton(group C) ,on the opposite sides with no adjunctive treatment(group D) .Intraocular pressure ,filtering bleb ,anterior chamber flare ,complications and the numbers of corneal endotheli‐al cells were observed after surgery .Rabbits were killed on the 7th ,14th and 21th day postoperatively in batch and histopathological examination was carried out .Results (1)the intraocular pressure:group A can maintain the low level of intraocular pressure for a long time ,followed by group C ,group B and group D ,and difference between groups was statistically significant (P< 0 .01) .(2) The filtering blebs :the filtering bleb survival time of group A was longer than other group(P<0 .01) .(3)Complication:there was not any complication in the 4 groups .(4)The number of corneal endothelial cells :the number of corneal endothelial cells of group A preoperative and postoperative had no statistical significance differences(P>0 .05) .(5)Histopathologic findings :group A had bet‐ter conjunctival epithelial integrity ,subconjunctival fibroblast less than other groups ,filtration had no obvious inflammation infiltra‐tion around the mouth area ,but also had fewer new collagen fibers .Conclusion MMC‐CS sustained release microspheres is a safe and effective treatment to inhibit inflammatory cells activity and fibroblast activity in surgery sites ,and can significantly improve outcome of filtration surgery .

Objective To design two-point two-line vein pricking for avoiding pain for patients and blood osmosis out of the vein caused by the high-pressure and fast-speed of the current high-pressure injector.Methods 19G butterfly-wing vein transfusion needle in the length of 19mm was used.The first point was needled with the needle tip under the skin and the first needling line was above and parallel the blood vessel in the length of 10-12mm.The second point was needled,with the second needle tip and needle line in the blood vessel,and the length of needling is 7-9mm.Results 100 persons were subjected.All the contrast medium and the physiologic saline were injected in vein in 98 persons,among which 2 had little hard tubercle in injecting area.Conclusion The two-point two-line vein pricking is safe for high pressure injector injecting in vein,and can prevent blood osmosis out of the vein.

Objective To study influences of magnetic field on behavior of depressive rats under chronic unpredictable mild stress,and possible mechanisms under such phenomena.Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into model group,magnetic field group and control group (n =12 in each group) according to random number table.The model group and the magnetic field group received CUMS stimulation daily for 5 weeks,while the control group received no any treatment.At the end of the fifth week,rats in the magnetic field group were placed in the center of a magnetic machine (400 mT),and the model group was raised freely for4 weeks.The severity of depressive behaviors,cortisol levels and contents of C-reactive protein in blood and urine sample were tested pre-treatment,at the end of 5 weeks and 9 weeks.Results After 5 weeks,consumption of glucose solution of the control group was higher than the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).After 5 and 9 weeks,body weights of the magnetic group and the model group were lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).At the end of 9 weeks,performance of the magnetic group as indicated by frequency of grid crossing,grooming time and suspending tail test were improved to a significantly greater extent than the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,the urine content of cortisol in 24 hours in magnetic field and model groups was higher than the control group at the end of 5 weeks,and the serum level of cortisol in the magnetic field group were significantly higher than the model group at the end of 9 weeks (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The 400mT magnetic field can reduce the severity of behavior changes of rats with CUMS-induced depression,which might be attributable to its influence on the cortisol levels in blood and urine.

Objective To solve the problem that traditional electronic medical records(EMR) system could not be extended to patients' bedside because of the wired network connection restrictions.Methods Based on wireless transmission and data synchronization technologies in PDA,a mobile nursing station was developed.Results Such functions were realized as patient identity verification,implementation of doctor's orders and vital signs collection beside patients' bed.Conclusion Technical support is provided for closing EMR information chain and improving medical quality.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):53-54]

Objective To probe the advantages and characteristics of imaging on dual-energy CT boneless and digital sub- traction brain angiography through comparative analysis. Methods Siemens 64-slice dual-source spiral CT and double high pressure syringe; The 200 patients were randomly divided into dual-energy group(n=100) and DSACT group(n=100); Every patient was injected 50 ml contrast medium and 50ml normal saline, injection rate was 4ml/s. Results The groups of cere- bra-vascular imaging without interference, and completely boneless; but experimental group has more boneless defects and vascular surface definition less. The cerebral arteries were interfered by the venous shadow in dual-energy group, and the dual-energy group received low-dose radiation. Conclusion The DSACT imaging quality is superior to dual-energy CT boneless imaging. The radiation dose of the dual -energy CT is lower than DSACT.
