Background and purpose:The skeleton is the most common site of tumor metastasis in lung cancer.Skeletal complications from bone metastasis,such as severe bone pain,functional impairment,may substantially reduce quality of life,in some situations,may result in death.We explored the efficacy of ibandronate combined with chemotherapy in treatment of lung cancer with bone metastasis.Methods:Sixty-four lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were randomized into two groups:38 patients in study group received normal chemotherapy combined with ibandronate,and 26 patients in control group received normal chemotherapy only.Results:The response rate of pain relief in the study group and control group was 71.1% and 42.3%,respectively(P=0.006).In study group,serum alkaline phosphatise and serum calcium was decreased after treatment by ibandronate combined with chemotherapy(P0.05).Conclusion:Ibandronate is safe and well tolerated. Ibandronate combined with chemotherapy is effective in relief of the pain caused by bone metastases and may inhibit bone metastasis.
5.Purification of Trypsin by Using AOT/Isooctane Reverse Micellar Extraction and Overcoming Denaturation and Precipitation in the Process
China Biotechnology 2006;0(01):-
Trypsin was purified from crude material of pig pancreas by AOT/isooctane reversed micellar system.The influence of the main operating parameters such as ethanol concentration in forward and backward extraction,pH,KCl and AOT concentration,temperature were investigated.Forward and backward extraction recovery of trypsin reached almost 90% and neared 100%,respectively.Finally,about 88% of total yield was obtained,and the specific activity of trypsin was increased to over 1800U/mg with purification factor of 5 folds more.In AOT-isooctane reverse micellar extraction system,denaturation or precipitation of proteins always occured due to strong electrostatic interaction between AOT-proteins molecules.It had been resolved by adding ethanol into reverse micellar system,and no denaturation was observed.Otherwise,the phase separation time was shortened significantly because of ethanol added.It was only 10 minutes or less to reach phases separation after forward and backward extraction.If this method can be applied in industry,efficiency will be greatly improved.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of histogram analysis of susceptible signal intensity in differentiating papillary (pRCC) from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma(ChRCC). Methods Thirteen cases with pRCC and 9 cases with ChRCC, who underwent susceptible-weighted imaging(SWI), MR common scanning and enhancement, were assessed retrospectively. The histogram parameters of susceptible signal intensity were measured, including maximum, minimum, mean, median, skewness and kurtosis. The independent samples t test(normal distribution) and Mann-Whitney rank sum test(skewed distribution) were used to compare the differences in SWI parameters between pRCCs and ChRCCs. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the efficiency of the whole-tumor SWI parameters in differentiating pRCCs from ChRCCs. Results The significant differences of the minimum, mean, median and skewness between pRCCs and ChRCCs were present(P<0.05), and there was no significant differences in maximum and kurtosis between between pRCCs and ChRCCs(P>0.05). In all the histogram parameters, the area of ROC curve of mean value was largest(0.80). The sensitivity of minimum value (84.62%) was the highest and and the specificity of skewness(100.00%) was the highest. Conclusion Histogram analysis of susceptible signal intensity can help differentiate pRCCs from ChRCCs.

Objective To investigate the effects of type 2 diabetes on learning and memory of APP/PS1/Tau triple transgenic (3 × Tg) mice of Alzheimer’s disease, and the protective mechanism of liraglutide (LIR) thereof. Methods One month old C57BL/6 mice were set to be control group (WT). One month old 3×Tg mice were divided into control group (Tg), liraglutide group (Tg+LIR), type 2 diabetes group (Tg+T2DM) and liraglutide treatment group (Tg+T2DM+LIR). The model of T2DM was established by feeding the high fat and sugar fodder, and then injecting streptozotocin (STZ) in mice, making sure the fasting blood glucose was more than 7 mmol/L. Then the subcutaneous injection of LIR was administered for 2 months. The values of body weight and fasting blood glucose were detected at age of 5-month. Morris water maze was applied to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability. Western blotting assay was used to measure the levels of phosphorylated Tau, neurofilament (NFs) and insulin receptor substrates. ELISA was used to detect the human Aβ42 to evaluate the effect of LIR on-amyloid. Results LIR can reduce body weight and blood glucose, can alleviate spatial learning and memory damaging caused by T2DM, and also can improve phosphorylated Tau levels, NFs and insulin receptor substrates caused by T2DM, and finally can reduce the deposition ofβ-amyloid of 3 × Tg mice. Conclusion T2DM can aggravate symptoms of AD in 3×Tg mice, and LIR has a protective effect on it.
