AIM To investigate the effects of Tea Po lyp henols on induction of apoptosis in human liver cancer cell etc. Telomerase acti vity of BEL-7404 cells was dramatically declined during the cell incuba tion with Tea Polyphenols. METHODS MTT colorimetric assay and trypan b lue exclusion method were used to examine the growth inhibition ofTea Polyphenols on BEL-7404 cells. Telomerase activity in cell was determined by PCR-ELISA method. Cell morphology and DNA gel electrophoresis were used to observe the apoptosis. RESULTS The solution of Tea Polyphenols showed dose-dependent and time-dependent inh ibitory effects on the proliferation on BEL-7404 cell line. After treatment wit h 0 2 and 0 1 g?L -1 tea polyphenols for 48 hours, cells displayed DNA ladder bands and typical morphological change of apoptosis included: ce ll shrinkage, membrane blebbing, chromatin condensation, nuclear fragmentation etc. Telomerase activit y of BEL-7404 cells was dramatically declined during the cell incubation with Tea Polyphenols. CONCLUSION Tea Polyphenols has growth inhibiti ng effect and may induce apoptosis in BEL-7404 in a certain dose range. The ant icancer mechanism of Tea Polyphenols might be related to the inhibition of telom erase activity.

Objective To investigate the related factors affecting prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer undergoing palliative resection.Methods The clinical data of 345 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent palliative resection at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University between January 2007 and December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients selected the emergent operations or restrictive operation based on the conditions of patients,and then received chemotherapy,radiotherapy and biotherapy.Chemotherapy regimens included FOLFOX4 (5-FU/CF + oxaliplatin) regimen,XELOX (capecitabine + oxaliplatin) regimen and FOLFIRI (5-FU + CF + irinotecan) regimen.Biotherapy regimens included molecular targeted therapies using bevacizumab and cetuximab.The follow-up was applied to patients by outpatient examination,telephone interview and correspondence once every 3 months up to March 1,2014.The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method.The survival rate was analyzed using the Log rank test.The multivariate analysis was done using the COX regression model.Results Of the 1 930 patients,345 patients received palliative resection with a percentage rate of 17.876％.Among the 345 patients,104 patients received emergent operations and others received restrictive operations.After operation,178 patients received adjuvant treatment,FOLFOX4 regimens were done on 85 patients,XELOX regimens on 32 patients,FOLFIRI regimens on 20 patients,radiotherapy on 17 patients and molecular targeted therapies on 24 patients.Seven patients died in the perioperative period and other patients were followed up for 3.0-82.0 months with a median time of 14.0 months.The 1-,3-and 5-year survival rates and the mean survival time were 49.57％,11.88％,6.38％ and 22.6 months,respectively.The results of univariate analysis showed that the CEA levels,bowel obstruction,primary tumor resection,peritoneal implantation,distal metastasis,lymph node metastasis,tumor differentiation,postoperative adjuvant therapy were related factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing palliative resection (x2=3.742,18.795,37.641,13.470,4.228,5.835,4.108,6.875,P ＜0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that the bowel obstruction,without primary tumor resection,peritoneal implantation,low-differentiation of tumor and without postoperative adjuvant therapy were the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients undergoing palliative resection (RR =1.674,2.273,1.947,1.582,1.342,95％ confidence interval:1.193-2.485,1.646-4.376,1.497-3.587,1.184-2.382,1.032-2.074,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The low-differentiation of tumor,peritoneal implantation,bowel obstruction,without primary tumor resection and without postoperative adjuvant therapy are the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer undergoing palliative resection.

A method was developed for simultaneous determination of Clozapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone in human serum by fully automated online solid phase extraction ( SPE )-high performance liquid chromatography. With Capcell MF Ph-1 column as SPE cartridge and Acclaim C18 as analytical column, high
selectivity could be achieved by this method according to the selective complementarity of the two columns. In the experiment, ACN-H2 O was used as the SPE mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL/min and ACN-10 mmol/L NH4 Ac was used as the analytical mobile phase with a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Serum samples were injected directly into the SPE column and the biological matrix was washed out with the loading solvent. By rotation of the switching valve, Clozapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone were eluted from the SPE cartridge in the back-flush mode and transferred to the analytical column by the chromatographic mobile phase. The whole time of the online SPE purification and chromatographic separation of the analytes was 18 min. Calibration curve of Clozapine with good linearity ( r=0 . 9996 ) was obtained in the range of 10-1800 μg/L in human serum, and the recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels were 118. 4%, 105. 0% and 105 . 4%. Calibration curve of Quetiapine with good linearity ( r=0 . 9997 ) was obtained in the range of 3 . 6-640 μg/L in human serum, and the recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels were 112. 8%, 101 . 1% and 101 . 5%. Calibration curve of Risperidone with good linearity ( r=0 . 9995 ) was obtained in the range of 0. 71-128 μg/L in human serum, and the recoveries at low, medium and high concentration levels were 100. 7%, 97. 2% and 98. 8%. In conclusion, the established automated online SPE-HPLC-UV method demonstrated good performance in terms of linearity, specificity, limits of quantification, and was successfully utilized to quantify Clozapine, Quetiapine and Risperidone in human serum.
