Objective To investigate effects of octreotide combined with aspirin on the growth and metastasis of gastric cancer in vivo. Methods SGC-7901, human gastric cancer cell line, was implanted orthotopically in the stomach of nude mice. Octreotide or aspirin alone and the combination of the two drugs were administrated for 8 weeks to investigate the effects of them on tumor growth and metastasis. Results At necropsy, xenografts in situ were found in all stomachs of nude mice except two nude mice in the combined group. The mean volume and weight of tumors in nude mice treated with octreotide or aspirin were significantly lower than those of control group. The inhibitory rate for tumors was 60.6% in octreotide group, 39.3% in aspirin group and 85.6% in the combined group with octreotide and aspirin respectively. The metastatic rates of gastric adenocarcinoma were markedly lower in any of treatment group than that in control group. No severe side action was observed in all of treatment group. Conclusion Octreotide combined with aspirin greatly enhanced the anti-growth effect on gastric cancer in vivo when compared to using either of them and inhibited the metastasis of gastric adenocarcinoma in nude mice.

Objective To investigate the stabilization of betaine on the enzyme activity of ALT in human serum at different temperatures, and to evaluate the matrix effects of human serum with betaine among different analytical systems. Methods The enzyme activity of ALT in human serums with l mol/L betaine stored at 37 ℃, 25 ℃, 4 ℃ and - 20 ℃ respectively were measured. The matrix effect experiment was carried out according to the procedures specified in Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI)document EP14-A. Four analytical systems were the candidates for evaluation, and Roche Diagnostics (Roche)-Hitachi analytical system served as the reference system. The enzyme activity of ALT of 40 patient specimens and 3-level specimens ( high, medium and low) with 1 mol/L betaine were measured using the evaluated methods and the reference method respectively. The linear regression analysis was performed to compare the mean y value of 3-level specimens with the statistically defined limits ( the two-tailed 95% prediction interval) derived from 40 patient specimen data. Results The enzyme activity of ALT could be stabilized with betaine in serum, which remained to be 99% for 48 h at 37 ℃, 98% for4 d at 25 ℃, 97%for 4 weeks at 4 ℃, and 99% for 4 months at - 20 ℃. The enzyme activity of control serum decreased to 42%, 86%, 71%, 79% respectively. The mean y values of three specimens with the betaine were within the 95% prediction interval of the estimated mean y values, which suggested no obvious matrix effects in serum. Conclusion Betaine can be used in the development of enzyme ALT calibrator as its stabilizer.

Objective To investigate therapeutic mechanism of radiation therapy associated with Doeetaxel on human uterine cervi-cal carcinoma. Method Hela cells were incubated with 0. 5 μmol/L, 1.01 μmol/Docetaxel for 24 hours, and were radiated with 0, 2, 4, 6, 8Gy X ray. The proliferation activity was detected with MTT method. Apoptosis was evaluated with TUNEL method. Expression of caspase-3 protein and the degradation fragment was measured with Western blot. Result Inhibitory effect of radiation therapy associated Docetaxel on Hela cells was significantly stronger than that of radiation group. Treated with 2 Gy and 6MV X ray radiation, inhibitory rate of Hela cells increased with the increment of associated Docetaxel doses (P<0.05). Inhibitory rate of Hela cells in radiation associated Docetaxel group was significantly increased compared with radiation group. Apoptosis index in radiation associated Docetaxel group 48 hours after treatment was significantly increased compared with radiation group or Docetaxel group with TUNEL method (P<0.05). Western blot results indies-ted that caspase-3 protein was degraded and small active fragments were produced. Conclusion The reason that Docetaxel enhanced Hela cell radiation sensitivity may probably he correlated to easpase-3 protein activation.

Objective To investigate the effects, and possible mechanism of action, of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) on acute lung injury in a rodent model of endotoxic shock. Method Endotoxic shock was induced in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by intravenous injection of lipopolysacchaiide (LPS) at 10 mg/kg. Three groups (each group with 10 rats), were given injections of either normal saline (Control), LPS 10 mg/kg (LPS group), or LPS 10 mg/kg + VIP 5nmol (VIP). Samples were collected 6 hours after injection. Indices of lung injury including lung wet/dry weight ratio, protein concentration and neutrophil count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid( BALF) were derived. Assays of TNF-α,IL-1β, IL-10 in serum and BALF were performed using ELISA. Light and electron microscopy were used to detect histopathological changes in lung tissues. Results The lung wet/dry weight ratio, protein concentration and neutrophil count in BALF were significantly raised in the LPS group compared to the Control group (P < 0.05). These indices were significantly lowered in the VIP group compared to the LPS group, though not to the level of the control group. Concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-10 in serum and BLAF also increased in the LPS group compared to the control group (P < 0.0S). Levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly lowered in the VTP group compared to the LPS group (P < 0.05), while levels of IL-10 was significantly raised ( P < 0.05). Histopathological changes due to lung injury were not as severe in the VIP group compared to the LPS group. CondusKms VIP plays a protective role during acute lung injury induced by endotoxic shock in rats. Its mechanism of action may be related to down-regulation of proinflammatory cytokines and up-regulation of anti inflammatory cytokines.
