AIM: To investigate the activation dynamics and the intracellular localization of p38 protein kinase in Raw264.7 cells after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation.METHODS: Protein kinase assay and immunogold electron microscope technique were used to check the activation dynamics and distribution of p38 MAPK in Raw264.7 cells before and after LPS stimulation. RESULTS: The kinase assay results showed that a marked increase in p38 activity was detected 15 min after LPS treatment, and reached maximal activity 30 min post stimulation, then dropped down and got closed to the pre-stimulated level 2 h later. The optimal LPS concentration for treatment was 100 ?g/L. The immunogold electron microscope data showed that p38 spread evenly in every part of the cytosol of the non-stimulated and EGF stimulated Raw264.7 cells, such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, lysosome, while the golden granules intensity in the cytosol area decreased and in the nuclear area increased significantly after LPS stimulation.CONCLUSION: p38 MAPK moves to the nuclei of Raw264.7 cells on account of stimulation by LPS.

Objective To investigate the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on tumor growth and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression of human gastric carcinoma xenografts in nude mice with different expressions of growth hormone receptor (GHR). Methods Immunocytochemical method was used to pick out one GHR-positive and one GHR-negative cell line. Then the cells were subcutaneously injected into 24 nude mice separately. The nude mice bearing two different kinds of human gastric caicinoma were equalges of body weight and tumor volume of nude mice were recorded. Serum concentrations of VEGF in peripheral blood were analyzed by ELISA. VEGF protein and mRNA expression in tumor tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR, respectively. Results We chose SGC-7901 as GHR positive group, and MKN-45 as the negative one. For nude mice bearing GHR + SGC-7901 xenografts, the tumor volumes were significantly larger in rhGH groups than in control group (P < 0.05), and the high-dose rhGH group revealed greater effect (P < 0. 05).Body weights were not significantly different among three groups (P > 0. 05). Serum VEGF concentration was (252.94 ± 15.32) ng/L in the high-dose rhGH group, which was significantly higher than that in control group [(49.94 ± 5.73) ng/L] and low-dose rhGH group [(167.60 ± 9.54) ng/L] (P < 0.05). Moderate positive staining with VEGF was observed in the control group, while VEGF staining was strong in rhGH administration groups. The relative expression of VEGF mRNA for the high-dose rhGH group was 0. 6470 ± 0. 0447, which was significantly higher than that in control group (0. 3230 ± 0. 0258)and low-dose rhGH group (0. 412 ± 0. 0351)(P < 0.05). While for nude mice bearing GHR-MKN-45 xenografts, the body weights of the rhGH-administrated groups were significantly higher than that of control group (P < 0.05), while tumor growth, serum VEGF concentration, and the expressions of VEGF mRNA and protein in tumor tissue were not significantly different (P > 0.05).Conclusions rhGH can promote tumor growth and increase the expression of VEGF in the GHR-highly-expressed SGC-7901 xenograft tumor model. However, such effects do not exist in GHR-negatively-expressed MKN-45 xenograft tumor model. The existence of GHR may be a key target where rhGH influences the secretion of VEGF.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between aberrant crypt foci(ACF) and colon cancer by observing the sequential development of ACF in cancer models of rats. Methods The colon cancer models in 60 Wistar rats were established by subcutaneously injection of dimethylhydrasine (DMH) once a week for 18 weeks. The rats were sacrificed and the colon tissues stained by methylene blue were observed with a stereomicroscope. Results There were two types of ACF, named cACF and dACF. The microscopic findings in dACF were similar with that in early colon cancer, while those in cACF were not. The expression of β-catenin in cACF and dACF were 4. 84% and 100% (P =0. 000) , respectively, and the expression of MMP-7 were 7. 87% and 81.82% (P =0. 000), respectively. There was no significant difference in expression of β-catenin and MMP-7 between dACF and colon cancer ( P > 0. 05 ). Conclusion The microscopic and molecular changes in dACF is similar with that in colon cancer, and dACF may progress to cancer through Wnt pathway.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Shuangyi Qushi Tongluo Capsules ( SQTC) in treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to explore the synergistic action of SQTC combined with sulfasalazine. Methods A randomized and parallel-controlled trial was carried out in 80 AS patients. The enrolled subjects were evenly randomized into testing group and control group. Both groups were given oral use of sulfasalazine enteric-coated tablets, and the testing group was additionally given oral use of SQTC, which is mainly composed of silky ant (Formica Fusca), black-winged Termitidae, Scorpio, Radix Ginseng, Radix Astragali, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Flos Carthami, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, Caulis Spatholobi, Herba Epimedii, and Radix Morindae Officinalis. The treatment for the two groups covered 24 weeks. On treatment week 4, 12, 24, we recorded the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), visual analog scale (VAS) scores of rachialgia, patients’ general assessment (PGA), VAS scores of night pain, spondylitis scores, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index ( BASFI) , Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Metrology Index ( BASMI) , scores of the quality of life ( QOL) , erythrocyte sedimentation rate ( ESR) , C-reactive protein ( CRP). Moreover, the adverse reaction of the two groups was also monitored. Results ( 1) Compared with the control group, testing group had high ASAS 20 percentage on treatment week 4, 12 and 24 (P<0.05 or P<0.01). (2) After treatment for 12, 24 weeks, the observation indexes were much improved in the testing group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 compared with the control group). ( 3) In the control group, one case ( 2.86%) had slight abnormal hepatic function, and one case (2.63%) in the testing group had slight gastrointestinal discomfort, the difference being insignificant (P>0.05). Conclusion SQTC are effective and safe in treating AS, starting an effect shortly and having synergistic effect on salfasalazine for the treatment of AS.

To perform an evaluation of the on-going prospective clinical trials on particle radiation therapy and their impact on the current clinical practice as well as future clinical research and development.Furthermore,to briefly present the results of the registration trial of the IONTRIS particle therapy system at the Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center.We used data from the clinicaltrials,gov and the Particle Therapy Collaborative Organization Group (PTCOG) website.After excluding retrospective and in silico studies,we examined and analyzed the prospective clinical trials for their ion type,targeting disease site,and nature.At the time of this analysis,149 prospective trials were identified on proton and carbon-ion radiation therapy,including 20 were carbon-ion and 129 trials were proton radiation focused,respectively.Except for 15 randomized phase Ⅱ/Ⅲ and Ⅲ trials,134 trials were phase 0-Ⅱ trials.Tumors from nearly all body parts were covered by the on-going trials,but trials on pediatric,GI,lung,prostate,and breast cancer account for the majority.The majority of the currently on-going trials focus on the efficacy and adverse-effects of the new dose/fractionation schemes of particle therapy as well as the use of particle therapy on new indications.Few studies invcstigate the addition of adjuvant therapy or imaging technology used in adjunct with particle therapy.Randomized trials that compare particle radiation therapy versus photon radiation is relatively uncommon.Despite the prevailing use of proton and heavy-ion radiation therapy for cancer treatment,~ 150 prospective clinical trials associated with particle radiation therapy are identified.As the majority of trials aim to investigate more efficacious dose/fractionation and the application of particle therapy on new indications,improved outcome from and expanded utilization of particle radiation therapy can be expected.
