OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulation of {O2 (2,4-dinitrophenyl)1-〔(4-ethoxycarbonyl) piperazin-1-yl〕diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate}(JS-K), anitric oxide donor, on tumor energy metabolism in H22 tumor- bearing mice. METHODS The hepatoma animal model in BALB/c mice was established with H22 cell line. The JS-K group and model group were received JS-K (0.75 and 1.5 mg?kg-1) and saline via tail intravenous once every 3 d for 14 d, received 5 injections, respectively. The positive group was received 5-FU 20 mg·kg- 1 by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 d. On the 15th day mice were sacrificed. The tumor growth inhibition rate were calculated. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phospho?fructo kinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), and the levels of lactic acid (LD) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in tumor tissues were de?termined by colorimetric method. RESULTS Compared with model group, the tumor mass of JS- K 0.75 and 1.5 mg·kg- 1group was significantly reduced (P<0.01),and the tumor growth inhibition rate was 23.9% and 50.3%, respectively. The activity of HK, PFK, PK, SDH and ATPase of tumor tissue in model group was (22.6±3.7, 14.4±2.6, 12.9±3.2 and 10.5±2.6)U·g-1 protein and (0.70±0.10)μmolPi·mg-1 protein per hour, respectively; which in JS-K 1.5 mg?kg-1 group was dropped by 42.0%, 26.6%, 22.7%, 23.3% and 21.7% (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the level of ATP and LD in JS-K group was dropped (P<0.01). CONCLUSION JS-K can inhibit the growth of tumor in H22 tumor-bearing mice and its mechanism may be related to regulating the tumor energy metabolism with inhibition of glycolysis and aerobic oxidation.

Background Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness,which is characterized by processing retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) loss and optic nerve dystrophy.Clinical study showed that lowing IOP can not arrest the glaucomatous damage of RGCs.To seek a neuroprotective drug is an urgent need.Objective This present study focused on the effect of triptolide,a natural biologically active compound extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii,on RGCs in glaucomatous eyes. Methods Glaucoma animal models were established in the right eyes of 80 clean Wistar rats by combination with aspiration of aqueous humor and phtocoagulation on anterior chamber angle.Wistar rats were assigned to two groups at random.Triptolide (5μg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected daily from three days before photocoagulation through scarification of animals (total 8 weeks),and same amount of physiologic saline solution was used at the same way.IOP was measured with a Tonopen XL tonometer at at 1day,3,5,7 days and weekly for 8-week duration after phtocoagulation.RGCs numbers was calculated by retinal Nissl staining.Morphology of retina in frozen section was examined under the light microscope.The experiment followed the Standard of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Results The IOP was elevated in model eyes from 1 day through 3 weeks after operation with statistically different in comparison with before operation(P<0.05).No obvious differences in IOP changg was found hetween the triptolide group and the normal saline group at each time point(P>0.05).The numbers of RGCs of model eyes in normal saline group decreased gradually after operation,but no evident decline of numbers of RGCs in model eyes in triptolide group. RGCs in triptolide group were considerably more than those of normal saline group in various time points after operation ( P<0. 05). However,no obvious difference in RGCs numbers was found between model eyes and control eyes in Triptolide group. Conclusion Triptolide could protect RGCs in glaucomatous eyes,and its effect does not depend on IOP in chronic glaucoma model.

DDP could be easily incorporated into poly (?-glutamic acid)-D-galactose esterifiable derivative through a covalent bond. The yield of DDP incorporation into the ?-PGA was 9.4%~10.2%. The DDP was released in the initial 8h in a burst manner,and thereafter in a sustained manner. The results that the conjugation of DDP to poly (?-glutamic acid)-D-galactose esterifiable derivative not only reduced the toxicity of the DDP but also enhanced antitumor activity and the targeting ability. The vivo experiments conclusively established that the ?-D+-DDP compound was much less toxic to animals than DDP alone. A direct evaluation showed that mice treated with ?-D+-DDP compound at a dose of 7.5 mg/kg displayed significant tumor regression. Furthermore,the implanted solid tumors disappeared completely from 35% of the H22 tumor-bearing mice after ?-D+-DDP compound administration. The aforementioned results of biodistributions of the prepared ?-D+-DDP compound in various organs in normal mice demonstrated that the ?-D+-DDP compound had a specific interaction with liver's parenchymal cells and H22 hepatocellular carcinoma tumor cells via ligand receptor recognition. In conclusion,the results indicated that the ?-D+-DDP compound prepared can effectively target the site of hepatoma tumor via the recognition and significantly reduce its size. The ?-D+-DDP compound was less toxic than the free DDP,and could effectively reduce xenografted H22 hepatocellular carcinoma cells in KM mice and prolong the survival of KM mice grafted with H22 hepatocellular carcinoma tumor cells. Therefore,the prepared ?-D+-DDP compound may be used as a potential drug delivery system for the targeted delivery to liver cancers or other liver diseases.

Objective: To analyze the diagnosis and therapy for double-hit lymphoma (DHL) and triple-hit lymphoma (THL). Methods:This study involves three patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) that transformed into DHL or THL. These patients were ad-mitted to our hospital between January 2011 and December 2012. All patients were diagnosed by immunohistochemistry and fluores-cence in situ hybridization (FISH). Results:One FL patient transformed into THL and died after 3 months. The other two FL patients who transformed into DHL and who received R-CHOP and R-ESHAP regimens still failed to achieve complete remission. Conclusion:DHL is a rare type of lymphoma that usually involves the bone marrow and central nervous system. This condition is highly resistant to intensive chemotherapy. Part of the DHL cases result from FL. FISH is important for diagnosis. However, a standard treatment for this type of lymphoma remains lacking.
