Background and purpose:Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) is one of the most commonly used chemotherapy drugs in colorectal cancer and L-OHP-resistance is very common in colorectal cancer therapy. This research was to discuss the reversal effect in L-OHP-resistant human colon cancer cell line LoVo/L-OHP by anemoside B4 (AB4) and tetrandrine (Tet) and to clarify their molecular mechanism. Methods:LoVo/L-OHP cells were treated for 48 h by AB4 and Tet at different concentrations to get non-toxic dose. Drug sensitivity was measured by MTT. After the treatment, the cell cycle and apoptosis of the cells were detected. Expression of P-gp mRNA, zDHHC9 mRNA and SMAD4 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Expression of P-gp, zDHHC9 and SMAD4 protein were detected by Western blot. Results:The IC50 of LoVo/L-OHP for L-OHP was (112.5±23.6) μg/mL, and the IC50 decreased to (62.8±21.4) μg/mL (P<0.05) and (58.9±26.3) μg/mL (P<0.05) after the treatment with 0.71 μg/mL AB4 and 0.45 μg/mL Tet (non-toxic dose) separately. The cell cycle experiment showed that the cells in G1 stage decreased and in S stage increased but with no statistical signiifcance (P>0.05). The cell apoptosis experiment showed that the apoptotic rate increased after the treatment with AB4 and Tet with non-toxic dose but with no statistical signiifcance (P>0.05). The RT-PCR experiment showed that the expressions of P-gp mRNA and zDHHC9 mRNA were increased and SMAD4 mRNA was decreased in LoVo/L-OHP cells compared with in LoVo cells (P<0.05), while it was found that P-gp mRNA in LoVo/L-OHP cells was decreased after the treatment with AB4 at non-toxic dose (P<0.05). Western blot experiment showed the protein of P-gp in LoVo/L-OHP cells was decreased after treatment with AB4 (P<0.05), which was accordant to the PCR result. The expression of zDHHC9 protein in LoVo/L-OHP cells was decreased in LoVo/L-OHP cells after treatment with Tet (P<0.05). Conclusion:AB4 and Tet have some reversal effect on resistant to L-OHP in LoVo/L-OHP cells. The molec-ular mechanism of the resistance reverse effect was related to down-regulation of P-gp for AB4 and down-regulation of zDHHC9 for Tet.

More and more studies have found that EBV infection is closely related to the occurrence, development, treatment and prognosis of lymphoma. The treatment of EBV-positive lymphoma bases mainly on combined chemo-radiotherapy together with ganciclovir, acyclovir and other antiviral drugs. Also there are novel ways to treat EBV positive- lymphoma including CD70 monoclonal antibody, butyrate, etc. The only way to prevent EBV infection is to inoculate anti-viral vaccine. The criterion of treating EBV positive-lymphoma remains to be further investigated.

Chemotherapy- induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) can be caused by many commonly used chemotherapeutic agents, such as taxanes, vinca alkaloids, platinum drugs, thalidomide,and also by newer agents such as bortezomib. Both animal experiments and clinical studies are being conducted to investigate strategies for preventing CIPN or ameliorating established CIPN without affecting the antitumor efficacy of chemotherapy. Treatments using calcium and magnesium infusions,glutathione,lipoid acid are being evaluated for their clinical application.

Objective To conduct the statistical analysis on the free carnitine and acylcarnitines levels in 0?6 years old children by detecting the contents of free carnitine and acylcarnitines in dry blood spot to provide the biological reference range for the diagnosis of fatty acid metabolic disorder and organic acidemia.Methods The levels of acylcarnitines of peripheral blood dry blood spot in 263 normal children were detected by using the isotopic dilution non-derived tandem mass spectrometry.All children were divided into male and female groups according to different genders and divided into the groups according to the age,1-28 d(gestational weeks ≥37 weeks),1-12 months old,13 months-3 years old and 4-6 years old.Results The detection results after normality test found that the levels of free carnitine and acylcarnitines in children showed a normality distribution.The free carnitine and various acylcarnitines levels had no statistical difference between male children and female children (t=0.5,P=0.619).The C4,C5,C6,C10,C12 and C18 had equal variance among various age groups(P>0.05) and could conducted the one way variance analysis;C0,C2,C3,C5,OH,C6,C8,C14,C16 and C18 had the variance heterogeneity among different age groups(P<0.05) and could conduct the rank-sum test(P<0.05).The C0,C2,C3,C5,OH,C6,C8,C10,C12,C14,C16 and C18 had statistical differences among different age groups,the reference value ranges were calculated according to different ages.The difference in C4 and C5 had no statistical significance and the reference value range could be calculated by the merged group.Conclusion It is a very important for the diagnosis and treatment of fatty acid metabolic disorder and organic acidemia to establish the reference value ranges of dry blood spot free carnitine and acylcarnitines in children according to different ages.

Objective:To study the effect of erythromycin(EM) on cigarette smoke-induced histone deacetylase-3(HDAC3) protein expression in human macrophages in vitro .Methods:The Aqueous cigarette smoke extract ( CSE) was always prepared fresh on the day of the experiment .The U937 monocytic cells were differentiated into macrophages by using phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) according to standard procedures .The U937 differentiated cells were treated with either CSE (1%) or EM (1 μg/ml) pre-treatment, and HDAC inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA;100 ng/ml) for 24 h.HDAC activity was measured with a colorimetric assay kit and Western blot was used for HDAC3 and factor nuclear-kappaB (NF-κB) protein assays.The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) release in the supernatant were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results:CSE(1%) significantly de-creased HDAC activity and HDAC 3 protein levels at 24 h.Preincubation with EM (1μg/ml ) for 24 h significantly inhibit CSE (1%) induced decrease of HDAC3 protein expression.Furthermore, Preincubation with EM(1 μg/ml) for 24 h significantly inhibit NF-κB activity and TNF-αrelease in human macrophages .Conclusion:EM is able to restore HDAC3 levels decreased by cigarette smoke and inhibit NF-κB activity resulting in decreasing CSE-mediated TNF-αrelease, which has shown an important explanation that EM possess the anti-inflammatory effect induced by cigarette smoke .
