8.Osmolarity, cell volume and proliferation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2000;0(08):-
AIM: To investigate the relationship between osmolarity, cell volume and cell proliferation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells. METHODS: MTT method was applied to detect the proliferation ability of the poorly-differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell (CNE-2Z) under various osmolarity conditions. The flow cytometry was used to analyse cell cycle distribution. Cell volume was obtained by the image analysis of living cells and cell viability was determined by the trypan blue assay. RESULTS: Cultivation of cells under the hypertonic conditions of 370 and 440 mOsmol/L increased cell volume by 8.7% and 27.8% and facilitated cell proliferation by 22.2% and 33.9%, respectively. However, hypotonic incubation of cells with osmolarity of 160 and 230 mOsmol/L decreased cell volume by 12.8% and 4.1% and inhibited cell proliferation by 34.0% and 15.6%, respectively. Cell volume was positively correlated with cell proliferation rate. Long-term cultivation of cells under anisotonic conditions did not significantly alter cell cycle distribution, but hypotonic cultivation decreased cell viability. CONCLUSION: Proliferation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells was closely correlated with the osmolarity of culture medium and cell volume. Hypotonic cultivation may inhibit cell proliferation by decreasing cell volume to facilitate cell death mechanisms.

To investigate clinical features of somatization disorder. Methods Seventy-nine paeeeeee with somatization disorder (SD), diagnosed based on the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disorders, version 3 ( CCMD-3 ) during September 2006 to August 2008, were selected and assessed by serf-edited somatic symptom list ( SSSL), symptom checklist-90 ( SCL-90 ), Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and Hamilton depression scale (HAMD). Results Sixty-two symptoms in two to six systems were involved in SDs, with a mean and standard deviation of 12.4 ± 6.6 symptoms in 4.2 ± 0.9 systems. The skin, nervous system, gastrointestinal system, respiratory and circulatory systems were the most involved in those symptoms. Depression, anxiety and hostile mood, number and total score of somatic symptoms all correlated positively with the total scores of HAMA and scores of somatic anxiety and mental anxiety (P < 0.01 ), but not with the total score of HAMD (P > 0.05 ). Conclusions Multiple systems were involved in SD, usually with complicated symptoms including depression and anxiety, which was prone to inappropriate medical diagnoses. Number and severity of somatic symptoms positively correlated with severity of anxious symptoms.
