Objective Multidrug-resistance (MDR) is considered to be the major obstacle for cancer chemotherapy.In order to study tumor MDR in vitro, we designed this study to establish human multidrug-resistant Bladder cancer pumc-91/ADM cell line and investigate its biological characteristics. Methods MDR cell line (Pumc-91/ADM) was induced by wise selection on exposure to increasing dose of Adriamycin (ADM).Cell growth was measured and multidrug resistance to multi-anticancer agents was evaluated by MTT Assay.Flow cytometry was performed to determine cell cycle and the ADM concentration of cell line. The expression of MDR-related genes were determined with reverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Compared to Pumc-91, the Pumc-91/ADM cell had a prolonged doubling time. The number of cells in S-phase was decreased in Pumc-91/ADM while those in G1 and G2 phase increased. The Pumc-91/ADM cell was 10 times more resistant to ADM than the Pumc-91 parent. The Pumc-91/ADM cell exhibited cross-resistance to methotrexate, vincristine, cisplatin, epirubicin. RT-PCR showed that mRNA expression of GST was significantly increased in Pumc-91/ADM. Conclusion Pumc-91/ADM is human multidrug-resistant, and it offers a model with MDR phenotype for the study of MDR in human bladder cancer.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of esomeprazole in long-term or intermittent treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods Twenty-eight patients with GERD who accepted esomeprazole 20 mg bid for 2 weeks were further divided into long-term treatment group and intermittent treatment group according to the protocol of therapy. Patients in long-term treatment group were received minimum dose that was needed to relief the symptoms for more than 6 months, whereas those in intermittent treatment group were received esomeprazole 20 mg qd until the symptoms completely disappeared, if symptoms relapsed the patients were treated again.The dosage, recurrence of symptoms and the side effects were compared between two groups. ResultsThirteen patients in long-term treatment group were treated for 7-44 months (20 mg daily in 7,twice daily in 5 and every other day in 1). While 15 patients in intermittent treatment group had a good relief of the symptoms. No adverse reactions was found in two groups. The follow-up study of 10-57 months in intermittent treatment group revcaled that the longer the treatment maintained,the longer the symptoms relieved (r=0. 447, P= 0. 008). Conclusion It is safe for esomeprazole in relieving symptoms of patients with GERD by long time or intermittent use.

Symptomatology and medical history taking are the focuses of diagnostics study. With the improvement of teaching and learning, students can basically master the standard process of clinical inquiry of chief complaints to family history efficiently. However, due to the lack of systematic learning of clinical diseases, it's difficult for most students to form a targeted, logical and speculative inquiry thinking pattern, so they are unlikely to write a medical history of present illness that reflects their thinking on disease inclusion and exclusion. In this study, we come up with the characteristics and defects of symptomatology teaching at present, and put forward a new idea of symptomatology teaching by introducing clinical manifestations of diseases and examples of inquiry.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane pretreatment on renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced apoptosis in kidney in rats. Methods Thirty pathogen-free male SD rats weighing 220-260 g were randomized into 3 groups (n=10 each):group control (group C);group I/R and group sevoflurane(group S). Renal I/R was induced by clamping the left renal pedicle for 45 min in I/R and S groups. In group S inhalation of 2.2% sevoflurane in O2 was started at 30 min before operation and maintained throughout the experiment.Venous blood samples were taken at 3 h of reperfusion for determination of serum BUN and Cr concentrations. The animals were then sacrificed and the left kidneys were removed for microscopic examination, detection of apoptosis(by TUNEL)and determination of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) mRNA and protein expression (by RT-PCR and Western blot).Results Renal I/R significantly increased serum BUN and Cr concentrations, apoptotic index(percentage of apoptotic cells) and the severity of necrosis of renal proximal convoluted tubules (0=normal,4=necrosis of whole segment of proximal convoluted tubules).Sevoflurane inhalation attenuated the I/R-induced changes mentioned above.HO-1 mRNA and protein expression was up-regulated by I/R and HO-1 mRNA expression was further up-regulated by sevoflurane inhalation.Conclusion Sevoflurane pretreatment can protect kidney against I/R injury by attenuating cell apoptosis.Up-regulation of HO-1 mRNA expression may be involved in the mechanism.
