OBJECTIVE:To study the pharmacokinetics of boanmycin and to make a clinical evaluation on which.METHODS:36patients with malignant tumor were subjected to the first stage of clinical study after injected intramuscular injection.with0.5～7.5mg/m 2 boanmycin.Of which,8patients were chosen as the subjects for the pharmacokinetic study by microbioassay.RESULTS:Boanmycin had little influence on the functions of heart,liver,kidney and lungs and which had no inhibitory action on bone marrow.After intramuscular injection with5.29～7.65mg/m 2 boanmycin,parameters of pharma?cokinetics in the patients were determined as the following:t 1/2? was(14.036?4.409)min,t 1/2? was(39.160?5.599)min,AUC was(14.697?1.826)(?g?min)/ml and CLs was(0.781?0.102)L/min.CONCLUSION:Serum clearance of boanmycin shows two-compartment model.

Objective:To describe women's behavioral patterns in the period of “doing the month”(confinement in childbirth)and to determine the degree of differences between “doing the month” practices and daily behaviors.Methods:A retrospective survey was conducted with a random sample of 1 813 women who were interviewed using a questionnaire undertaken in May of 2004.Results:The results showed that the majority of women adhered to the traditional customs.While “doing the month”,more than 90% of women did not eat cold,hard,or sour food;more than 90% of the women did not wash their hair or body at all,and more than 70% of women did not brush their teeth or wash their!feet.As compared to what women normally do,most women drastically changed their practices in eating,sanitation,dress,activity,doing chores,and so on,during their “doing the month”.Further analysis indicated that women's age had no effect on the change of practice patterns and that women's education had an inconsequential effect.Conclusion:The traditional “doing the month” practices are still very popular in the rural areas of China.Birth belief,illness concept and traditional village culture are the main factors for the pattern of “doing the month”.

Aim To research dynamically the changes of endogenous cystathionine- β-synthase/hydrogen sul-fide system in PC12 cells injury induced by rotenone. Methods Rotenone-induced injury in PC12 cells ( characteristic of dopaminergic neurons) was used as a PD cell model. The expression of CBS was evaluated by Western blot. Intracellular CBS activity and H2 S production were detected by Methylene blue spectro-phot-ometric method. The viability of PC12 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. GSH detection kit was used to detect the intracellular GSH content. Results In the groups of 6 and 12 hours, the expression and activ-ity of CBS were elevated, and the production of H2 S was increased. In the groups of 24 and 48 hours, CBS expression and activity were significantly decreased, and the amount of H2 S was significantly reduced. Ap-plication of 1. 5 μmol·L-1 rotenone for different time (6-48h) could decrease the cell viability and intra-cellular GSH contents in a time-dependent manner. Conclusions The expression and activity of endoge-nous CBS, stimulated by rotenone, are elevated firstly and then decreased. The generation of H2 S, stimulated by rotenone, is increased and then reduced significant-ly, which may be related to PC12 cells against oxida-tive stress damage induced by rotenone.

AIM To investigate the effects of several 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) subtype receptor antagonists on late slow excitatory postsynaptic potential(LS-EPSP) of the neurons of guinea pig inferior mesenteric ganglion(IMG). METHODS Intracellular recordings were made from neurons of the isolated guinea pig IMG. RESULTS Cyproheptadine and BRL 24924 suppressed LS-EPSP of 5-HT sensitive neurons reversibly, while mianserin, MDL 72222 and spiperone showed no significant effect. Continuous superfusion of IMG with MCPP suppressed LS-EPSP of 5-HT sensitive neurons by 5-HT 1P receptor desensitizated. CONCLUSION LS-EPSP of 5-HT sensitive neuron is mediated by 5-HT 1P subtype receptor.

Objective :To study a simplified method of isolation of rat hepatocytes and to observe the pro-cess of cell morphology in long-term culture. Methods :Rat hepatocytes were isolated by a single two-stepperfusion method. The yield and viability were assessed by trypan blue exclusion. [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] (MTT) was used to test the effect of serum concentration of newborn calf serum on the proliferation of hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were inoculated in the culture mediumconsisted of Williams' E supplemented with insulin,dexamethasone and 10％ new born calf serum. Themorphologic change of cultured hepatocytes was observed. Results:The average yield of hepatocytes was 2.26× 108 cells per rat, with an average viability of 95.6％. New born calf serum had strong biological activi-ty to stimulate the proliferation of hepatocytes and there was close-effect relationship followed by the in-crease of new born calf serum concentration. The rat hepatocytes can be cultured for 5～ 6 weeks withpreservation of normal morphologic appearance. Conclusion:The rat hepatocytes isolated by the abovemethod have high yields and viability and can be long-term cultured in vitro.

Objective To investigate the level of follicular fluid NO, VEGF and ET-1 in assessing IVF-ET outcome. Methods Totally 131 patients undergoing IVF-ET cycles were recruited. The level of follicular fluid NO was measured by chromatometry. The follicular fluid VEGF and ET-1 were measured by ELISA. Transvaginal ultrasound was performed on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day to determine ovarian volume and antral follicle count. Results The pregnancy rate was 37.40% (49/131). There were significantly increased level of follicular fluid NO, VEGF and decreased level of follicular fluid ET-1 in the pregnant group than those in the non-pregnant group (P<0.05). Total ovarian volume and antral follicle count on HCG injection day were significantly higher in the pregnant group than those in the non-pregnant group (P<0.05). The levels of follicular fluid NO and VEGF had positive correlations with the total ovarian volume and antral follicle count. However, the level of follicular fluid ET-1 had a negative correlation with the total ovarian volume and antral follicle count. Conclusions The high level of NO, VEGF and low level of ET-1 in follicular fluid are good predictors of ovarian blood flow and ovarian response in IVF-ET.

Objective To investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of extracts from Garden Balsam seeds in order to provide theoretical basis for rational clinical application. Methods The mouse ear swelling induced by xylene, the body torsion induced by acetic acid or hot plate method, the rat foot swelling induced by egg white and granuloma model were set up to study anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of extracts from Garden Balsam seeds. Results The water extracts at the middle and high doses reduced the body torsion counts of mice (P<0. 05), alleviated the rat toe swelling, but did not affect mice ear swelling. The extracts at the high dose prolonged pain threshold at 60 min (P<0. 01) and 90 min (P<0. 05); the alcohol ex-tracts at the middle and high doses significantly lowered body twisting counts (P<0. 01), attenuated the ear swelling of mice (P<0. 05), remarkably prolonged the pain threshold (P<0. 01)at 30 min, weakened the rat foot swelling, and elevated 60 min pain threshold at the high doses (P<0. 01), but the extracts exerted no effects on the rats granuloma. Conclusion The extracts from Garden Balsam seeds have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of antisense vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)(121) cDNA transfection on the growth of K562 cells in nude mice.

METHODSK562 cells transfected with the antisense (AS) or sense (S) VEGF(121) cDNA, and the vector (V, pcDNA3) alone were transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice and the growth of the transfected cells in vivo was investigated. The effects of transfected K562 cells on human bone marrow endothelial cells (BMEC) were analyzed by MTT assay, the microvessel density (MVD) in tumor mass by vWF immunohistochemistry stain.

RESULTSK562/V tumor grew more slowly [(207.5 +/- 192.9) mm(3) vs (445.0 +/- 150.9) mm(3), P < 0.05] and K562/S tumor more rapidly than K562/V tumor did [(1 174.6 +/- 508.7)/mm(3) vs (445.0 +/- 150.9) mm(3), P < 0.01]. K562/S cell culture supernatant was more strongly in promoting the proliferation of BMEC than K562/V supernatant did, but K562/AS supernatant resulted in a marked decrease of the promoting effect as compared with K562/V's. The MVDs in K562/AS, K562/S, and K562/V tumors were [(11.0 +/- 7.6)/0.72 mm(2) vs (50.8 +/- 11.7)/0.72 mm(2) vs (18.9 +/- 7.0)/0.72 mm(2)], respectively.

CONCLUSIONSAntisense VEGF(121) cDNA transfected K562 cells show growth retardation in transplanted nude mice, decrease of tumor MVD, and decrease of promoting BMEC proliferation capacity.

According to our previous experiments, Ph(+) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cell line K562 cells have defects in beta 1 integrin activation. In order to search the same regularity in Ph(+) CML bone marrow cells, bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC) from 12 cases of Ph(+) CML and 10 cases of normal individuals were studied. Their expression rate of 9EG7 epitope on beta1 integrin post treatment by 8A2 or GM- or G-CSF and cell adhesion ability with soluble fibronectin (FN) were evaluated by flow cytometry; in addition, the effects of CGP57148B, a highly specific ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor, were observed. Our results showed that 9EG7 expression rate and FN binding rate were very low in all the inactivated cells. The parameter increased markedly post 8A2 activation in both NBMMNCs and CMLBMMNCs, but the degree of increase in CMLBMMNCs was significantly lower than that in NBMMNCs; GM-CSF or G-CSF could significantly increase the parameters in NBMMNCs while had no effects on that in CMLBMMNCs. CGP57148B could increase the beta1 integrin activation potential of CMLBMMNCs but had no effects on that of NBMMNCs. The results indicate that decreased activation potential of beta1 integrin in CMLBMMNCs is the major cause of adhesion defects of Ph(+) CML cells; beta1 integrin functional insufficiency in CMLBMMNCs could not be directly reversed by ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor CGP57148B.
