OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect and mechanism of Curcumenol against leukemia and to provide theoretical basis for the development and utilization of Curcumenol.METHODS:Curcumenol liposomes were prepared by mechanical dispersion method and ultrasonic method.MTT method was used to detect the inhibitory effects of Curcumenol and other drug on L1210 proliferation in mice with Lymphocytic leukemia.The apoptosis of L1210 cells induced by Curcumenol was observed under confocal microscope by trypan blue exclusion test and Hoechst 33258/PI double staining.RESULTS: Curcumenol significantly inhibited the proliferation of L1210 cells and induced apoptosis of L1210 cells.CONCLUSION: The anti-tumor effect of Curcumenol is possibly achieved by inducing the apoptosis of L1210 cells.

[Objective]To study the proliferation inhibition effect of decetaxel combined with cisplatin on osteosarcoma cells,and the effect of the drugs during the course of chemotherapy for osteosarcoma.[Method]The effect of docetaxel and cisplatin alone or combined with osteosarcoma cell line HOS-8603 was examined by cell count,morphologic observation,flow cytometry(FCM).The animal model of human osteosarcoma was established in nude mice.They were given docetaxel or cisplatin alone and combined,and a blank control group was set up.Observations on the growth and pathologic markers of osteosarcoma were carried out and pathological examinations were made.[Result]Docetaxel and cisplatin either alone or combined inhibited significantlythe proliferation of osteosarcoma cells and induced obviously apoptosis,and the effect of the drags combined was more effective than that of the drugs alone,Growth inhibition ratio ≥59.34%(P

【Objective】To observe the jaundice-relieving effect of therapy of clearing heat and draining dampness combined with cooling blood and normalizing gallbladder function for severe icterohepatitis with damp-heat in liver and gallbladder.【Methods】Seventy-one severe icterohepatitis patients with damp-heat in liver and gallbladder were randomized into groups A(n=38) and B(n=33).The two groups received routine basic treatment and symptomatic treatment,group A was treated with heat-clearing,dampness-draining,blood-cooling and bile-draining herbs,and group B with intravenous drip of small-dose 654-2 additionally.Serum levels of total bilirubin(TBil),direct bilirubin(DBil),glutamic pyruvic transaminase(ALT),prothrombin activation(PTA) and jaundice duration were observed for the evaluation of jaundice-relieving effect.Meanwhile,the changes of gallbladder ultrasonograms were observed.【Results】After treatment,serum levels of TBil and ALT were decreased in both groups(P0.05)but the markedly effective rate in group A was higher than that in group B(P

Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological prognostic factors in patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater treated by pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical and pathological factors of patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater who were operated from February 1994 to February 2009 at the Urumqi General Hospital of Lanzhou Military Region were retrospectively analyzed.The survival curves of these patients were also analyzed.Results The post-operative 1-,3-,5-year survival rates were 90％,63％,55％ respectively.The diameter of the majority of tumor (58.3％) was less than 2.0 cm.Of all the patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater,48.7％ were in T1 stage,41.7％ had high grade differentiation,73.0％ had no lymphatic metastasis.Univariate analysis showed that gender,age,tumor diameter,biopsy or not,the type of operation,the value of pre-operative serum bilirubin and the value of serum CA19-9 were not related to survival.The gross type of tumor (P =0.018),histological type (P =0.000),grade of differentiation (P =0.003),depth of infiltration (P =0.003),lymphatic metastasis (P =0.014) and TNM stage (P =0.031) were significant impact factors of survival.Multivariate analysis showed histological type and depth of infiltration were independent prognostic factors of surviva1 (P =0.002,P =0.005).Conclusion Grossly ulcerated carcinoma,mucinous adenocarcinoma on histology,low degree of differentiation,T2/T3 stage,lymphatic metastasis and clinical stage of Ⅱb were all significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with carcinoma of ampulla of Vater treated by pancreatoduodenectomy.Histological type and the depth of infiltration were the most important risk factors of survival.

Objective: To study the relationship of TSP-1 expression with the metastasis and prognosis of human pancreatic cancer. Methods: The expression and distribution of TSP-1 were investigated in 74 pancreatic cancer tissues and 16 other pancreatic tissues (6 normal pancreatic tissues, 4 chronic pancreatitis tissues and 6 normal pancreatic tissues adjacent to the pancreatic cancer tissues) using immunohistochemical method. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 11.0 software and the value of TSP-1 expression in predicting the metastasis and prognosis of pancreatic cancer was investigated. Results: The expression of TSP-1 in the pancreatic cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in the normal pancreatic and chronic pancreatitis tissues (P<0.05). Significant differences were also found between tumors of different stages, different sizes, with or without lymphatic metastasis, and with or without neural infiltration (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that TSP-1 expression was correlated with the stages and neural infiltration of the tumor. Univariate analysis using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test revealed a relationship of TSP-1 expression with lymphatic metastasis, neural infiltration, tumor stage and patient survival rate. Multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazard model demonstrated that the neural filtration, lymphatic metastasis were the independent factors of patients' prognosis and survival; TSP-1 expression was not independent prognostic parameter. Conclusion: Expression and distribution of TSP-1 may serve as indicator for metastasis of pancreatic cancer and is also helpful in predicting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective: To observe the efficacy and safty of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plus concomitant and adjuvant chemotherapy of temozolomide (TMZ) for glioma patients with postoperative residual. The target dose distribution and the dose to organs at risk were analyzed by dosiology of radiotherapy. Methods: Twenty-one glioma patients with postoperative tumor residual were enrolled between April 2008 and June 2009, including 10 cases of grade II and 11 cases of grade III-IV within the WHO 2000 classification. All patients received IMRT with a total dosage of 59.92-64.20 Gy/ 28-30 fx and concomitant chemotherapy (oral TMZ 50-75 mg·m-1·d -1), followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant TMZ (150-200 mg·m -1·d-1, in a 28-d cycle) 4 weeks after IMRT. Results: There were 2 cases of complete response (CR), 17cases of partial response (PR), and 2 cases of stable disease (SD), and the overall response rate (CR+PR) was 90.5%. The overall response rates of patients with grade II and III-IV were 100% (10/10) and 81.8% (9/11), respectively. The one-year progression-free survival rate was 80.9% and the overall survival rate was 85.7%, which were both 100% in grade II, whereas 72.7% and 81.8% in grade III-IV, respectively. The dose of each critical organ in IMRT was obviously lower than the minimum tolerance dose in conventional radiation therapy, and the radiation-related toxicities were mild. All patients in this study could tolerate the regimen. Conclusion: IMRT combined with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ chemotherapy for gliomas has a higher short-term efficacy with less side effects, meanwhile the IMRT for protection of vital organs around the target has certain advantages.
