Objective:To explore antitumor mechanism of a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing human carcinomembryonic antigen(rV CEA).Methods:C57bl/6 mice were immunized three times with rV CEA.Six weeks later,the splenocytes from rV CEA immunized donors were adoptively tranfered in sublethally irradiated CEA + HePa bearing recipients,meanwhile the antiumor effect of the donor splencytes in virtro was detected.Results:Splenocytes from rV CEA immunized donors expressed strong antiumor activity in CEA positive tumorbearing recipients,whereas W VV immunized and nonimmune donor cell did not.The antiumor activity was abolished when immune T cells were depleted before splencytes transfer.Conclusion:It was demonstrated that antiumor acivity induced by rV CEA was essentially mediated by immune T cells which were activated by CEA specific immune response.Adoptive immunotherapy strategies may have implications for both the study of rV CEA and the development of potential clinical applications for tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To discuss the characteristics and management of pregnancy on cesarean section scar. Methods Five women with pregnancy on cesarean section scar were reviewed from Apr. 2000 to Mar. 2003. Results All of the five patients had cesarean section before and suffered from painless,irregular vaginal bleeding after 6～8 weeks of amenorrhea. The pregnancy could be misdiagnosed as invasive mole or cervical pregnancy. All had better outcome by uterine suction under ultrasound monitoring without massive bleeding or hysterectomy. Conclusions Women who had cesarean section before are in the risk of pregnancy on the old scar. Clear diagnosis should be made before any treatment. Ultrasound monitoring,local MTX injection and packing can be utilized to prevent perforation during suction. Patients should be monitored continuously after operation with serum hCG level and ultrasound. The principle prevention of pregnancy on cesarean section scar is to reduce the cesarean section rate and effective contraception.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Qingfei-Jiedu decoction in the treatment of Acne. Methods A total of 93 female patients with acne were randomly divided into 3 groups according to random number table, 31 in each group. The observation group took the oral Qingfei-Jiedu decoction, and the Chinese medicine control group took the oral tanshinone capsule, and the western medicine control group took the oral acetic acid ring propyl alcohol progesterone. All 3 groups were treated for 4 weeks. The levels of serum dihydro (DHT), IL-6 and IL-8 were measured by ELISA. The changes of the lesions before and after treatment were observed and the adverse events were recorded during the treatment. The clinical effect was evaluated. Results After treatment, the serum DHT (56.94 ± 15.74 pg/ml vs. 74.48 ± 18.53 pg/ml, t=2.089), IL-6 (22.84 ± 11.77 pg/ml vs. 30.37 ± 14.50 pg/ml, t=2.135), IL-8 (22.64 ± 7.38 pg/ml vs. 29.54 ± 9.65 pg/ml, t=2.057) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the Chinese medicine control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the disappearance rate of skin lesions (65.4% ± 15.0% vs. 44.7% ± 12.9%, 42.7% ± 13.6%, F=6.862) and comprehensive syndrome effective rate (57.2% ± 12.6% vs. 46.3% ± 12.8%, 44.8% ± 11.7%, F=5.322) in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the other two control groups (P<0.05). The observation group and the traditional Chinese medicine control group did not have adverse events, but the western medicine control group showed one case nausea. Conclusions The Qingfei-Jiedu decoction can reduce the level of serum DHT, IL-6 and IL-8 in female patients with acne vulgaris, and improve the skin lesion disappearance rates and comprehensive syndrome rates.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of tiaogan Lipi Recipe (TLR) in treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients of Gan stagnation Pi deficiency syndrome (GSP-DS).

METHODSA randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed. Totally 99 NAFLD patients of GSPDS were randomly allocated into two groups, 66 patients in the treatment group (treated with-TLR, one dose per day) and 33 patients in the control group (treated with placebos, one dose per day). The therapeutic course for all was 12 weeks. All patients received lifestyle interventions including moderate aerobic exercise, moderate caloric restriction, and dietary changes. Clinical symptoms, CT indices, liver functions and blood lipids were observed before and after treatment.

RESULTSAfter 12 weeks of treatment, the total score of clinical symptoms decreased in the two groups (P <0. 01), and it was lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P <0. 05). Liver/spleen CT ratio increased in the treatment group (P <0. 01), and it was higher in the treatment group than in the control group (P <0. 01). After treatment levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) all decreased in the treatment group (P <0. 05, P <0. 01), while levels of ALT decreased in the control group (P <0. 05). Besides, all the 3 levels mentioned above were lower in the treatment group than in the control group (P <0. 05). Levels of total cholesterol (CHO) and triglyceride (TG) decreased in the two groups (P <0. 05), and they were lower in the treatment group (P <0. 05). Total effective rates of TCM syndrome, abdominal CT, liver functions, and blood lipids were 79. 69% (51/64 cases), 54. 69% (35/64 cases), 67. 65% (23/34 cases), and 67. 39% (31/46 cases) in the treatment group, while they were 56. 25% (18/32 cases), 25. 00% (8/32 cases), 33. 33% (6/18 cases), and 55. 56% (10/18 cases) in the control group. All were superior in the treatment group (P <0.05, P <0.01, respectively).

CONCLUSIONTLR combined with lifestyle intervention could safely and effectively improve clinical symptoms of NAFLD patients of GSPDS, elevate liver/spleen CT ratios, and play a role in liver protection, anti-inflammation, and lowering blood lipids.
