The efficiency of cold storage red blood cells (CSRBC) or whole blood at -80 degrees C used in 27 Rh (D) negative patients during surgical operation was reported. The Rh (D) negative patients received the transfusion of CSRBC or whole blood stored at -80 degrees C for 180 to 360 days. The changes in the indexes, such as blood TB, DB, K+, Na+, BUN, Cr, urine protein (URPO), UOB, Hb, HCT, serum total protein, relative to hemolytic reaction and blood volume before and after transfusion were observed. The results showed that after transfusion of CSRBC or whole blood 27 cases were negative for urine protein and UOB, and the levels of BUN and Cr were normal (P > 0.05). Blood TB, DB, Hb, and HCT were increased, while pH, blood K+ and blood Na+ was normal with the difference being not significant before and after operation (P > 0.05). Plasma protein was decreased, but there was no significant difference before and after operation (P > 0.05). It was suggested that CSRBC or whole blood at -80 degrees C could be safely infused to the Rh(D) negative patients without side effects during the surgical operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of COX ̄2 inhibitor celecoxib on radiosensitity of irradiation ̄resistant cell line CNE ̄2R of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and the potential mechanism. Methods Via exposing to a series of X ̄ray (2, 4, 6, 8 Gy, 3 times for each dose), radio ̄resistant cell subline CNE ̄2R was established from human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE ̄2.Radiosensitivity was detected by clone formation assay.CNE ̄2R and CNE ̄2 cell lines were exposed to 25, 50, 75 μmol.L-1 celecoxib, respectively.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression of COX ̄2.Clone formation assay was performed to measure the survival fraction of CNE ̄2 and CNE ̄2R after radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with 30 μmol.L-1 celecoxib treatment.Flow cytometry was used to measure influence of radiotherapy alone or radiotherapy combined with 30 μmol.L ̄1celecoxib treatment on cell apoptosis.Number of residual γ ̄H2AX foci was observed by immunofluorescence assay. Results The colony forming assay demonstrated that the values of SF2, D0 , Dq , and N of CNE ̄2R cell subline [(0.81±0.05), (2.15±0.07) Gy, (2.94±0.08) Gy, (3.91±0.07), respectively] was significant higher than those of CNE ̄2 cell line [(0.61±0.08), (1.47±0.06) Gy, (1. 68 ± 0. 10) Gy, (3. 13 ± 0. 05), respectively]. The expression of COX ̄2 protein was significantly downregulated with increasing celecoxib concentration.Surviving fraction was decreased in both CNE ̄2 and CNE ̄2R cell lines after irradiation.After radiotherapy combined with celecoxib, apoptosis rates of CNE ̄2 and CNE ̄2R cell lines [(13.10±0.63)%, (5.30±0.75)%] were higher than those of the corresponding control groups [(4.90±0.71)%, (1.82±0.82)%].Celecoxib increased radiosensitivity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE ̄2R and CNE ̄2 cell lines.The number of residual γ ̄H2AX foci after irradiation was increased by celecoxib pretreatment.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Celecoxib can enhance radiosensitivity of radio ̄resistant cell subline CNE ̄2R of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma in vitro.

Aim To investigate the effect of baicalin on cell proliferation and cell migration in human skin SCC A431 cell line. Methods The A431 cells were incu-
bated with 50 mg·L-1 baicalin. The protein level of cofilin-1 was assayed by Western blot. Cofilin-1 specific siRNA fragment was designed , synthesized and trans-
fected into A431 cells. The proliferative activity and migration ability of cells were assessed by CCK8 assay and scratch wound healing assay separately. ResultsWestern blot results showed that baicalin treatment in-hibited the cofilin-1 protein expression to 49.3% com-pared with the control group. Single baicalin treatment and cofilin-1 silencing could drease the A431 cell growth and migration. And cofilin-1 silencing signifi-
cantly enhanced the efficacy of baicalin. Conclusions Baicalin could significantly inhibit the tumor cell's growth and migration in the A431 cell line. And cofi-lin-1 might become the potential target gene to enhance the effect of anticancer drugs.
