Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2016;32(9):1284-1288
Aim To establish a gefitinib-resistant NSCLC cell line, and observe its pharmacological properties. Methods HCC827 cells were treated with hepatocyte growth factor( HGF) and increasing concen-tration of gefitinib to induce cell resistance. MTT assay was used to test cell viability and chemosensitivity. Clone formation and Edu staining were used to verify the inhibitory effect of gefitinib on cell growth. qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to assay the expres-sion of c-Met. Results The use of HGF greatly short-ened the induction time of HCC827GR resistant cells. gefitinib could significantly suppress cell viability, col-ony formation and cell proliferation of HCC827 , but had a weaker inhibitory effect on HCC827GR cells. HCC827GR overexpressed c-Met protein, and was highly sensitive to c-Met inhibitors. Conclusion The gefitinib-resistant HCC827 GR cells were induced suc-cessfully and efficiently. The growth of HCC827GR is dependent on the activity of c-Met protein, and it can be used as a phenotypic screening model of c-Met in-hibitors.

Objective To investigate the effects of improved end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy on the occurrence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 396 patients who received pancreaticoduodenectomy at the Cancer Hospital of Shandong Province from January 2001 to January 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into the improved group(235 patients)and traditional group(161 patients)according to different anastomotic methods.All the operations were done by the same surgical group,and the digestive tract was reconstructed by the Child method.Patients in the improved group received improved end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy,and patients in the traditional group received traditional end-to-end anastomosis.The volume of operative bleeding,operation time,incidence of pancreatic fistula and duration of hospital stay of the 2 groups were compared.All data were analyzed using the t test,chisquare test or Fisher exact probability.Results The operative blood loss,operation time and duration of hospital stay were(383 ±56)ml,(7.2 ± 1.0)hours,(21 ±3)days in the improved group,and(381 ±39)ml,(7.0 ± 0.5)hours,(22 ± 5)days in the traditional group,with no significant difference between the 2 groups(t =0.388,1.680,-1.835,P > 0.05).No operative death was detected in the 2 groups,and the overall incidence of pancreatic fistula was 7.6%(30/396).The incidence of pancreatic fistula of the improved group was 0(0/235),which was significantly lower than 18.6%(30/161)of the traditional group(P < 0.05).Patients complicated with pancreatic fistula in the traditional group were cured by drainage,somatostatin administration and parenteral nutrition.Conclusion Improved end-to-end invagination pancreaticojejunostomy can significantly reduce the incidence of pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Phylogenetic methods have been widely used to detect the evolution of influenza viruses.However, previous phylogenetic studies of influenza viruses do not make full use of the genetic information at the protein level and therefore cannot distinguish the subtle differences among viral genes. Proteotyping is a new approach to study influenza virus evolution. It aimed at mining the potential genetic information of the viral gene at the protein level by visualizing unique amino acid signatures (proteotypes). Neuraminidase gene fragments of some H5N1 avian influenza viruses were used as an example to illustrate how the proteotyping method worked. Bayesian analysis confirmed that the NA gene tree was mainly divided into three lineages. The NA proteotype analysis further suggested there might be multiple proteotypes within these three lineages and even within single genotypes. At the same time, some proteotypes might even involve more than one genotype. In particular, it also discovered some amino acids of viruses of some genotypes might co-reassort. All these results proved this approach could provide additional information in contrast to results from standard phylogenetic tree analysis.

To construct a scFv library by phage display technique from the spleen cells of mice immunized with B3HM cells. Three mice were immunized with B3HM cells, and their spleen cells were harvested. The genes of VH and Vk were amplified by RT-PCR from the cDNA of the immunized spleen cells and a scFv-phage display antibody library was constructed. The capacity of library was measured,and the variety of the library was analyzed by digesting with restriction endonuclease BstNI.ScFv phage clones were randomly picked and identified phage-scFv clone by binding B3HM cells using immunofluorescein.A scFv library containing 5?106 individual clones which showed different patterns after digested with restriction endonuclease BstNI was produced. Individnal phage-scFv clone showed B3HM cells positive using immunofluorescein. A scFv library of anti-B3HM cell surface molecules has been constructed. It will be useful for finding out some novel genes of causing leukemia, and establishs the infarctate foundation of clarifying the pathogenesis of leukemiagenesis.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Yiqi Huoxue Qingre Huashi Recipe (YHQHR, a recipe capable of supplementing qi, activating blood, clearing heat, and dissipating dampness) on ulcer healing and Helicobacter pylori (Hp) eradication rate in Hp positive peptic ulcer patients, and to explore coccoid Hp occurrence in the eradication.
METHODSTotally 80 Hp positive peptic ulcer patients were assigned to the treatment group and the control groups by random digit table, 40 in each group. All patients received standard triple therapy of Western medicine for 2 successive weeks. Those in the control group additionally took omeprazole enteric coated tablet, 20 mg each time, once per day for 4 successive weeks. Those in the treatment group additionally took YHQHR, twice per day for 6 successive weeks. The ulcer healing was observed and recorded by gastroscope after discontinued medication of 14 days. The effective rate of ulcer healing under endoscope was statistically calculated. Rapid urease test (RUT) was performed in one small piece of tissue from corpora ventriculi and sinuses ventriculi using 14C breathe test (UBT). Gastric juice was collected from the stomach. Hp urease gene amplification test (urea A-PCR) was performed in living tissue from gastric antrum. Results obtained from the above three test methods were recorded and assessed to decide the final eradiation rate. Gastric mucosa tissue was observed under electron microscope,attempting to find non-eradicated Hp, which was further observed.
RESULTSThe total curative effect under gastroscope was 97.5% (39/40 cases) in the treatment group, obviously higher than that in the control group (80.0%, 32/40 cases) (P < 0.05). The eradication rate of Hp was 75.0% (30/40 cases), obviously better than that of the control group (52.5%, 21/40 cases) (P < 0.05). The total positive Hp numbers after treatment was 14C UBT (12), RUT (8), and urea A-PCR (27), respectively. The Hp positive rate detected by 14C UBT and RUT was lower than the Hp positive rate detected by urea A-PCR (P < 0.05). Rod-like and coccoid Hp bacteria could be observed under electron microscope.
CONCLUSIONYHQHR combined standard triple therapy was more effective than standard triple therapy alone in promoting ulcer healing and elevating the eradication rate of Hp.

According to the results of activity-structure relationship (SAR) studies of alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists hydantoin-phenylpiperazine and benzimidazo-arypiperazine derivatves, to design and synthesize a series of novel phenylpiperazine alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists with more potent vasorelaxant activity, active metabolites of naftopidil were used as lead compounds. Ten novel R,S-1-substituted phenyl-4-[3-(naphthal-yl-oxy)-2-hydroxy propyl]-piperazine were designed and synthesized, their vasorelaxant activity was evaluated by calculating inhibition rate of phenylephrine-induced vasocontration of rabbit artery trips. Five compounds exhibited vasorelaxant activity, and compound 16 showed significant vasorelaxant activity in vitro. At 0.01 and 1 micromol x L(-1), its inhibition rates were 7.03% and 22.72%, respectively. This compound possessed ideal vasorelaxant activity in vitro, and would be selected for further anti-hypertension evaluation in vivo. Moreover, by analyzing the primary activity and structure relationship of these compounds, it could be concluded that the SAR results of the reported phenylpiperazine alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonists could be used for reference in designing novel derivatives of naftopidil with optimal pharmacological properties.
