Journal of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Medical Sciences) 2007;27(1):17-9
In order to investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of recombinant polypeptide CH50 on invasion and metastasis of melanoma B16 cells, the recombinant polypeptide CH50 was separated and purified by ion exchange chromatographic technique. The melanoma B16 cells treated with purified CH50 were cultured in vitro, the number was counted at 4, 24, 48 and 72 h and their morphological changes were observed in order to detect their adhesion and spreading abilities. In in vivo study, the melanoma B16 cells were labeled with CFSE and treated with CH50 and then they were injected into mice via mouse-tail veins. After 5 h, the lung tissues were fixed by frozen section. Accumulation and invasion abilities of B16 cells on lung tissues were observed under the fluorescent microscopy. The results showed that the morphological character of B16 cells treated with CH50 changed greatly and the number of B16 cells treated with CH50 decreased significantly (P<0.05). The adhesion and spreading abilities of B16 cells treated with CH50 were weakened obviously and the metastasis foci on lung tissues reduced. It was concluded that the recombinant polypeptide CH50 inhibited invasion and metastasis of melanoma B16 cells on tissues and could be a prospective bio-product in tumor general therapy.
2.Relationship between Interstitial Cells of Cajal and Gastrointestinal Inflammation in Children
Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 1986;0(01):-
The main function of interstitial cells of Cajal(ICCs) is to produce the gastrointestinal slow-wave electric potential,to impel the propagation of electric potential,and to participate in the transmission of neural signal.The decrease or abnormal distribution of ICCs would lead to gastrointestinal inflammation easily.Meanwhile,as the gastrointestinal inflammation happens,inflammatory cells and mediators also can reduce the number of ICCs.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of intermittent liver-nourishing and mind-regulating acupuncture in preventive treatment of migraine. Method One hundred and twenty migraine patients were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 60 cases each. The treatment group received intermittent liver-nourishing and mind-regulating acupuncture and the control group took flunarizine hydrochloride capsules orally. The migraine score, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score and the headache severity rating score were recorded in the subjects before treatment and at the end of treatment and the 4-week, 8-week, 12-week, 16-week and 20-week follow-ups. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) score and the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were recorded before and after treatment.Result After one course of treatment, the total efficacy rate was 98.3% in the treatment group and 89.5% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the migraine score between before treatment and at the end of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05) and between the two groups at the same follow-ups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the VAS score between before treatment and at the end of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05) and between the two groups at the same follow-ups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the SAS and SDS scores between before treatment and at the end of treatment in the two groups (P<0.05) and between the two groups after treatment (P<0.05).Conclusion Intermittent liver-nourishing and mind-regulating acupuncture has marked efficacy in preventive treatment of migraine. It can increase the total efficacy rate and reduce the number of relapses.
