Oncolytic viruses,a novel class of virus vectors,which selectively replicate only in tumor cells,have excellent tumor targeting and good tansfection efficiency.Many oncolytic viruses have apparent curative effect when administered intratumorally.However,the host immune system remains a critical obstacle to systemic administration of virotherapeutics.It appears that cell-based delivery of oncolytic viruses could offer one solution to this critical problem,which provides a new platform to the biological therapy of cancer.

Cancer stem cells (CSC) are capable of self-renewal and differentiation, properties that are critical to tumor growth, metastasis, and radioresistance. Eradication of CSC is the key to the success of cancer therapy. Conditionally replicative adenoviruses(CRAd) are a novel class of viral agents which selectively replicate in tumor cells but not in normal cells. CRAd can specifically target and eradicate CSC ,representing a promising cure for cancer.

Reovirus,a kind of oncolytic viruses, is seldom pathogenic, but is selectively able to replicate in cancer cells through activation of Ras signaling. Pre-clinical studies have demonstrated that treatment with reovirus is associated with significant anticancer activity across a range of tumor types. Further clinical evaluation of reovirus therapy has shown that it is well tolerated when administered locally or systemically. Encouraging anticancer efficacy has been observed with single-agent treatment and in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. High safety and promising efficacy of reovirus has raised hopes that it will become a new anticancqt agent.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effects and related toxicity of all-trans-retinoic acid(ATRA) combined with arsenic trioxide(As2O3) on transplanted human bladder neoplasms in nude mice.MethodsThe subcutaneously transplanted tumor models of human bladder neoplasms in nude mice were established and then it was randomly divided into four teams: Saline group, ATRA group, As2 O3 group and the combination of ATRA and As2 O3 group.Each group composed of 10 nude mice and received intratumor injection in the following 14 d.The tumor growth inhibitory rate was calculated.The pathological changes of tumor,cardiac, liver, and kidney were observed after H.E.staining.The expression of MVD (Marked with CD43) and VEGF were detected by SP of immunohistochemistry.Blood routine examination and hepatic and nephritic functional examination was carried out to evaluate the side-effects.Results The tumor growth was significantly suppressed in ATRA group(inhibitory rate was 41.82%) and As2O3 group (inhibitory rate was 43.77%) compared with saline group.When ATRA combined with As2O3 ,inhibitory effects were improved(inhibitory rate was 68.55%).The difference of growth inhibitory rate between each group was obviously significant(x2 =26.81, P <0.01).There was less expression of MVD (Marked with CD43) and VEGF in ATRA group and As2 O3 group and the combination group compared with saline group (ODVEGF = 19.23 + 2.32,20.72 + 2.01,17.16 ± 1.59,27.33 ± 2.17, respectively; ODMVD = 44.77 + 8.25,43.39 + 7.41, 30.56 + 7.71,141.12 + 8.38, respectively), and the suppressed effect in the combination group was most significant (t = 3.16,3.08,3.37, P < 0.01).WBC inhibition was seen in ATRA group and As2O3 group and the combination group, but no significantly difference among them(P >0.05).Hepatic and nephritic toxicity were not found.ConclusionsCombination of ATRA and .As2O3 had obvious synergistic effects on transplantéd tumor of human bladder neoplasm in nude mice, and moderate white blood cell inhibition and no hepatic or nephritic toxicity.

With the hereotopic heart transplantation, immune tolerance induced by portal venous inoculation of donor spleen cells was studied.Methods:The recipient rats received donor spleen cells through portal vein combined with of cyclosporine A(CsA).The NK cell activity and IL-2, IFN-y expression of recipient spleen cells were detected. Results: Hie inoculation of donor spleen cells through the portal vein could significandy prolong survival time of heart allografts.IL- 2, IFN-y expression of recipient spleen lymphocytes and the recipient NK cell activity was also inhibitied.Conclusion:The inoculation of donor spleen cells through the portal vein could induce immune tolerance.The suppression of IL-2-NK-IFN-y immunologic net may be an important mechanism of portal vein tolerance.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Matriptase and HAI-1 protein in prostate cancer (CaP). Methods Specimens of 46 prostate cancers,20 benign prostate hyperplasias (BPH),10 high-grade intraepithelial neoplasias (PIN),and 10 normal prostates (NP) were used. Expressions of Matriptase and HAI-1 proteins in specimens were detected by SP of immunohistochemistry. The results were analyzed in relation to the clinicopathological data. Results The protein levels of Matriptase in CaP tissues were significantly higher than PIN tissues(Z=-2.150,P=0.032),and the expression of matriptase in CaP and PIN was higher than that in BPH and NP (Z=-3.270,P=0.001;Z=-2.817,P=0.005). No statistically significant difference was observed between BPH and NP group (Z=-0.895,P=0.325). A progressive increase in the protein levels of Matriptase was observed with increasing tumor grade (rs=0.583,P<0.01) and clinical stages(rs=0.611,P<0.01)in CaP specimens. The protein levels of HAI-1 in BPH and NP tissues were significantly higher than CaP and PIN tissues(Z=-3.277,-3.315,P<0.01),the levels of HAI-1 in PIN were higher than CaP (Z=-2.310,P=0.020). No statistically significant difference was found between BPH and NP (Z=-0.872,P=0.330). A progressive decrease in the protein levels of HAI-1 was observed with increasing tumor grades(rs=-0.634,P<0.01) and clinical stages(rs=-0.521,P<0.01). The expressions of Matriptase and HAI-1 in CaP tissues showed negative correlations(rs=-0.712,-0.560,-0.465,respectively,P<0.01). Conclusions The abnormal expressions of Matriptase and HAI-1 proteins may be important events during the progression of CaP in humans. Matriptase and HAI-1 Protein may be used as parameters for assessing the malignancy and prognosis of CaP.

To observe the analgesic effects of morphine and bupivacaine for the patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) after prostatectomy. Methods: 21 patients after receiving prostatectomy were treated with PCEA including morphine and bupivacaine, and 24 patients were treated with routine analgesia as control. The effects of analgesia with visual analogue scale (VAS) were evaluated indirectly, and episodes of bl adder spasm were recoreded. Results: The effects of PCEA on postoperative analgesia and controlling bladder spasm were much better than that of routine analgesia. Conclusion: Effects of morphine and bupivacaine used in PCEA for post-prostatectomy analgesia are confirmed adm inistration is slimple. Because of their dosage is smalller and side effects are fewer, this treating protocol is beneficial for the recovery of the patients re ceiving prostatectomy.
