Radiotherapy is one of the main means of clinical treatment for cancer, although the continuous updating and development of technology and equipment, adverse reactions and side effects can't be avoided yet.Improving the clinical efficacy of radiotherapy and reducing its adverse reactions are the currently facing subjects.A large number of clinical studies showed that using traditional Chinese medicines(TCM)in tumor radiotherapy had significant effects of improving and controlling the clinical symptoms, improving the life quality of cancer patients, improving the sensitization of radiotherapy, preventing the tumor metastasis and recurrence, as well as improving immune function and long-term survival, etc.Meanwhile, TCM also had significant roles in reducing the damage of radioactive inflammation, decreasing the bone marrow suppression to improve peripheral blood, and reducing the toxicity of digestive system, etc.The combination of radiotherapy and TCM provides a broader space for the comprehensive treatment of tumors.

[Objective]To introduce a method to obtain Schwann cells from newly born SD rats massively and purely by immunomagnetic heads method.[Method]SD rats that had been born within 5 to 7 days were used. Their bilateral sciatic nerves were dissected under sterile condition. Under 16?microscope the nerve fascicles and the epineurium were carefully extracted in oder to get the nerve tract without impurity cell. Then the nerve tract was cut into small particle about 1 mm3.Two enzymes (0.25% trypsinase and 0.2% collagenaseⅠ)were used to digest the particle of sciatic nerve specimens twice. After using 20% fetal bovine serum to stop the process of digestion,centrifugate(1000r/min,5 min) and DF12 culture medium was added into the precipitation.Seven days later,Schwann cells were purified with immunomagnetic heads.During the whole process,the change of Schwann cells was observed under the inverted biological microscop and vital force of Schwann cells was evaluated.The growth curve of Schwann cell was drawn with MTT.The Schwann cells was identicated under immunofluorescent test and record the purity.[Result]The cell separated from the SD rat's sciatic nerve and cultured in incubator was affirmed as Schwann cells.Immunomagnetic heads can be used to purify the Schwann cells.The 96% vigor and 98% pure Schwann cell cultures were generated and passaged after two days.[Conclusion]This method can obtain massive purified normal schwann cells to satisfy the need of tissue-engineered bioartificial nerve graft.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for simultaneous determination of 9 common inorganic anions in Huanglian shangqing tablet. METHODS:The accelerated solvent extraction-ion chromatography was adopted. Inorganic anions were deter-mined by Ion Pac AS11-HC anion exchange column,protected by Ion Pac AG11-HC column and eluted by hydroxide potassium so-lution(gradient elution)at the flow rate of 1.2 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃,elution time was 18 min,and sample volume was 25 mL. RESULTS:The linear ranges of fluorinion,formate ion,nitrite ion,bromide ion,nitrate ion,sulfate ion,oxalate ion and phosphate ion were 0.1-5 mg/L(r=0.9990-0.9999). The limits of quantitation were 0.020,0.078,0.030, 0.058,0.052,0.068,0.084,0.064,0.074 mg/L,and the limits of detection were 0.005,0.024,0.008,0.017,0.015,0.022, 0.026,0.020,0.021 mg/L,respectively. RSDs of precision,stability and repeatability were all lower than 4.0%;recoveries were 80.00%-125.08%(RSD ranged 0.97%-2.47%). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,precise,stable and repeatable,and can be used for 9 common inorganic anions in Huanglian shangqing tablet.

Objective To investigate the effect of triptolide on asthmatic airway remodeling and signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6), acid neutrophil chemokines (eotaxin) impact. Methods The total of 30 mice with ovalbumin (OVA) model of asthma were randomly divided into three groups, control group, asthma group and triptolide group. After 24 hours of the last shot, lung tissue was stained Bronchial inflammatory cell infiltration was determined by using semi-quantitative method and calculate the proportion of goblet cells in airway epithelial cells. Hydroxyproline was determined by McMillan airway mucus score. The mRNA level and protein level of STAT6 and eotaxin in airway epithelium were determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with asthma group, peribronchial inflammatory cells infiltration of triptolide group were reduced, which mucus index is (1.31 ± 0.23) and hydroxyproline is (284 ± 13) μmg/100 mg. it had a significant in asthma group (P < 0.05). Besides, the protein level and mRNA level of STAT6 and eotaxin were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, it was a positive correlation between STAT6 and eotaxin level in airway epithelial (r = 0.668, P < 0.05). Conclusion Triptolide can inhibit airway remodeling and might through the down regulation of STAT6 and eotaxin expression.

A new kind of curcin (curcin 2), induced by several kinds of stresses from Jatropha curcas leaves, under the control of the 35S CaMV (cauliflower mosaic virus) promoter, was introduced into tobacco genome by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method. Curcin 2 protein was only detected in the transgenic tobacco plants transformed with the cur2p fragment (coding premature curcin 2 protein), but not in the plants transformed with cur2m fragment (coding mature curcin 2 protein). The transgenic lines expressing curcin 2 showed increased tolerance to tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).

Objective To analyze levofloxacin resistance in Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and the sequence difference of gyrA gene in levofloxacin resistance and sensitive Hp strains. To explore the function of gyrA gene mutation in the development of levofloxacin resistance Hp strain.Methods From July 2007 to December 2008 in Department of Gastroenterology, Jinhua People hospital of Zhejiang Province, the gastric mucosa from gastroscopy biopsy of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer patients were cultured in Hp selective medium under microaerobic condition at 37 degrees for three to five days. The Hp strains were isolated and identified by oxidase test, catalase test,urease test and UreA gene detecting. The levofloxacin susceptibility was determined by E-test and then resistance and sensitive strains were screened. The genomic DNA of Hp strains was isolated. The gyrA gene was amplified by PCR and the sequences were analyzed. Results 38 clinical isolated Hp strains were passed the levofloxacin susceptibility E-test, among those the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12 strains was over 1.0 μg/ml, the percentage of resistant strain was 31.58%, while the sensitive stains was 68.42%. The gyrA gene sequence result indicated 10 resistant strain with 261, 271 and 272 10 site mutation, 2 strains with C261A mutation, one strain with C261G mutation, two strains with G271A mutation, 2 strains with A272G mutation, 2 strains with C261A,G271T andA272G mutation, 1 strain with C261G and A272G mutation. However, no mutation sites were found in 26 sensitive strains. Conclusion The rate of levofloxacir-resistance in isolated clinical Hp strain was high. The drug-resistance was associated with 261,271 and 272. site mutation of gyrA gene.
