Objective To suppress the proliferation of lens epithelial cells (LECs) is a primary goal in prevention of after cataract. Recent study demonstrated an effective inhibition of elemene(Ele) on tumor cells. Present study was to investigate the effects of Ele on proliferation and cell cycle of human LECs B3 (HLE-B3). Methods Recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor(rhbFGF) was utilized to induce proliferation of HLE-B3. Proliferative HLE-B3 was incubated with 80 mg/L Ele in CO_2 incubator for 24 hours. Then the inhibitory effects of Ele on proliferation of HLE-B3 was evaluated by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT). The effect of Ele on HLE-B3 morphology was observed under the optical microscope. The effect of Ele on HLE-B3 cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometer(FCM). Results MTT test showed that the optical density (OD) value of rhbFGF group was remarkably higher than that of control group(0. 599 0 ± 0. 053 1 versus 0. 409 1 ± 0. 042 2) (P ＜ 0. 01), and that of Ele group(0. 450 0 ±0. 061 4) was obviously declined in comparison to rhbFGF group(P ＜0. 01) . The inhibitory rate of Ele was 24.90 %. In proliferation group, the number of HLE-B3 was increased with the normal cell structure and abundant cytoplasm under the optical microscope. However, in Ele group, the number of HLE-B3 was evidently decreased with less cytoplasm, undistinguished cell structure, condensed and aggregated nucleuses. The result of flow cytometer showed that the percentage of HLE-B3 in G_1 phase in rhbFGF group was 42. 062% ± 1. 270% and that in control group was 46. 422% ±3. 765% with a significant difference(P ＜ 0. 05). HLE-B3 in G_1 phase in Ele group (60. 665% ±2.069%) was evidently increased in comparison with rhbFGF group (P ＜ 0. 01). HLE-B3 in S phase in rhbFGF group compared with control group was increased (51.647% ±1.123% versus 31.842% ± 2. 798%) (P ＜ 0. 01), but that in S phase in Ele group(30. 222% ±3.429%) was lower than rhbFGF group (P ＜ 0. 01). HLE-B3 in G_2 phase in rhbFGF group was decreased in comparison with control group (6. 288% ± 0. 966% versus 21. 735% ± 3. 806%, P ＜ 0. 01), and that in G_2 phase in Ele group (9. 112% ± 1. 659%) compared with proliferation group was increased (P ＜ 0. 01). Conclusion Ele could alter the cell cycle of HLE-B3 and effectively inhibit the HLE-B3 proliferation induced by rhbFGF. Ele may be a reliable and effective drug for prevention and treatment of after cataract.

Background Our previous study showed that curcumin suppresses the proliferation of human lens epithelial cells (LECs) in vitro and has an influence on the signal transduction of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosinc monophosphate (cGMP).Actually,the regulation for biological behavior of LECs in vivo is complex.Objective This study was to investigate the changes of signal transduction of protein kinase (PK) in inhibition of curcumin on human LECs proliferation.Methods HLE-B3 was cultured and then divided into the blank control group,recombinant human basic fibroblast growth factor (rhbFGF) group and rhbFGF+ curcumin group.rhbFGF of 10 ng/ml was added in the medium in the rhbFGF group,and 20 mg/L curcumin was added into rhbFGF-induced cell medium for 24 hours in the rhbFGF+ curcumin group.The expression rates of PKA,PKC,PKG and calmodulin (CaM) in the cells were assayed using flow cytometry.Results The expression rates of PKA protein were (46.847± 1.673) ％,(33.250 ± 2.242) ％ and (71.645 ±2.432) ％ in the blank control group,rhbFGF group and the rhbFGF+ curcumin group,respectively,and the expression rate of PKA protein was significantly reduced in the rhbFGF group compared with the blank control group (t =11.904,P＜0.01),but the expression rate of PKA protein in the rhbFGF+ curcumin group was significnatly higher than that in the rhbFGF group (t=28.430,P＜0.01).In the blank control group,rhbFGF group and the rhbFGF+ curcumin group,the expression rates of PKC protein in the cells were (35.575± 1.937) ％,(50.652±2.068) ％ and (27.662t4.481) ％,those of PKG protein were (63.838±0.486) ％,(86.562 ± 1.325) ％ and (40.733 ± 2.175) ％,while those of CaM protein were (67.408± 1.391)％,(83.887±3.499)％ and (53.785 ± 1.942)％,the expression rates of PKC,PKG and CaM were significantly lower in the rhbFGF group in comparison with the blank control group (all at P＜0.01),and those in the rhbFGF+ curcumin group were significantly declined in comparison with the rhbFGF group (all at P＜0.01).Conclusions Suppression of curcumin on HLE-B3 proliferation probably is associated with the up-regulation of PKA expression and down-regulation of PKC,PKG and CaM expression in the cells.

Purpose Central nervous system (CNS) hemangiopericytoma (HPC) is rare in clinic and prone to misdiagnosis. This paper aims to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CNS HPC by analyzing the MRI and CT features. Materials and Methods CT and MRI appearances and pathologic features of 14 cases with surgery and pathology proved CNS HPC were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were intracranial and intraspinal lesions in 12 and 2 cases respectively. 5 cases were lobular, 4 cases irregular, and 5 cases were round or oval in shapes. On CT scan, 2 intracranial lesions showed slight hyperdensity and were avidly enhanced following contrast injection. On T1WI, 11 cases showed isointensity compared with brain white matter;on T2WI, 10 cases showed isointensity compared with brain gray matter. Marked heterogeneous enhancement was shown in 7 cases. Necrosis and cystic changes were seen in 6 cases. Flow-void sign was seen in 9 cases;9 cases were attached to meninges through narrow base. Dural tail sign was observed in 4 cases. Bone erosion was seen in 4 cases. In 5 cases with DWI scan, isointensity was shown in 4 cases and slight hyperintensity in 1 case. The density and signals in 2 cervical spine lesions were uniform with homogenous enhancement;expansive bone swelling in 1 case. Conclusion CNS HPC shows hyperdensity on CT. They present equal signal compared with white matter on T1WI and equal signal compared with grey matter on T2WI, with some void signal of vessel, and isointense on diffusion weighted images. Tumor invades adjacent skull with rare dural tail sign.

Objective To study the characteristic findings of computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma.Methods CT,MRI and clinical data were analysed retrospectively.Plain,dynamic CT and MRI were performed in all patients.Results There were 8 patients,7 female,1 male,aged 48-74 years,with a median age of 58.Five lesions were in the left liver,and 3 lesions were in the right liver.One lesion was multilocular cysts with septations.Seven lesions were solitary.The lesions showed low or mixed density on plain CT.Two cysts showed evidence of hemorrhage,while 3 cysts showed fluid levels.There were different signal intensities in the cystic wall nodules which could appear as slightly low intensity on T1WI or slightly high intensities on T2WI.The cyst wall and septations appeared as slightly low intensity on T1WI and T2WI.The cystic fluid signal intensity changed with liquid ingredients.The nodularities showed obviously high signal intensity on DWI,and the fluid showed slightly high signal,while the cystic wall and separations showed slightly low signal intensity.On CT and MRI dynamic enhancement scanning,the nodularities showed obvious enhancement on the arterial phase,while the cystic wall and separations showed no enhancement.The nodularities showed persistent enhancement on the portal venous and delayed phases while the cystic wall and separation showed slight enhancement.Conclusions Hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma showed characteristic features on MSCT and MRI.MSCT combined with MR is an important method in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hepatobiliary cystadenocarcinoma.
