Objective To investigate the effects of signal pathway inhibitors PD98059 and LY294002 on cell proliferation, apoptosis, expressions of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulared kinase (p-ERK) and phosphorylated protein kinase B ( p-Akt) in endometrial carcinoma xenografts. Methods Human endometrial carcinoma Ishikawa cells were cultured in vitro. The effects of PD98059 and LY294002 on proliferation, apoptosis, and cell cycle distribution of endometrial cancer cells were detected by monotetrazolium ( MTT) assay and fluorescence-activated cell sorting technique. The models of xenografted tumor were established by the subcutaneous inoculation in 24 nude mice, and then they were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 6) , normal saline group, PD98059 group (PD group) , LY294002 group ( LY group) or PD98059 + LY294002 group ( PD + LY group) by intraperitoneal injections, respectively. The anti-tumor efficacy was evaluated by measuring tumor volume and tumor growth status. The histopathological change of tumor specimens was observed using HE staining and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP-digoxigen in nick and labeling method (TUNEL) testing and the expression levels of p-ERK and p-Akt were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results ( 1) The proliferation of Ishikawa cells were suppressed after treated by PD98059 and ( or) Y294002, in which A570 values of cells decreased showing both time-dependent and concentration-dependent manner ( LY294002: Fgroup = 9. 801, P = 0. 002; Ftime = 10. 398, P = 0. 001. PD98059: Fgroup= 8. 213, P = 0. 015; Ftime = 6. 839, P = 0. 036). Cell cycle distribution analysis revealed that percentage of Ishikawa cells at G0/G1 phase(Ftime =35.049, P= 0.004; Fgroup = 32. 024, P ＜0. 01) increased and percentage of S phase cells (Ftime = 7. 789, P = 0. 049; Fgroup = 30. 132, P ＜0. 01) decreased significantly. The percentage of apoptotic cells increased significantly among PD group, LY group and PD + LY group, in which there were significant difference [(63. 3 ±0.5)% vs (30. 7 ± 20. 1) % vs(40. 8 ± 1. 3) % ; F = 621. 059, P ＜ 0. 01]. (2) Compared with the control group, the increasing of transplanting tumor volume in the treated groups were obviously ( F = 23. 545 , P ＜ 0. 01) , and the inhibited rate of the tumor was higher in PD + LY group than that in PD group or LY group [(68 ± 9 ) % vs ( 32 ± 16 ) % or ( 38 ± 17 ) % ; F = 10. 283 , P ＜ 0. 05]. ( 3 ) HE staining shown that there were different degrees of necrosis for endometrial carcinoma cell in different groups. The apoptosis of tumor cells were significantly increased in treated groups by TUNEL testing [(13. 7 ± 1. 5)% , ( 14. 1 ± 1. 2)% , (29. 0 ± 1. 8 ) % ; F = 320. 344, P ＜ 0. 01]. Immunohistochemistry results demonstrated that the expressions of p-ERK and p-Akt in treated groups were lower than that in control group, of which LY + PD group was the lowest one. Conclusion The signal pathway inhibitors PD98059 and LY294002 could inhibit the growth of human endometrial carcinoma in vivo and in vitro, in which may induce cell apoptosis.

Objective To observe the curative effect of transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transfected with recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene on intracerebral hemorrhage in rats.Methods MSCs were isolated from the rat bone marrow,cultured and transfected by recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying BDNF gene.Intracerebral hemorrhagic models were constructed and randomly divided into 4 groups:phosphate buffered saline transplanted (PBS) group,MSCs group,mesenchymal stem cells transfected with empty lentiviral vectors transplanted (MSCs-EGFP) group and mesenchymal stem cells transfected with recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene transplanted (MSCs-EGFP-BDNF) group.PBS and MSCs were transplanted according to the groups 72 hours after the establishment of models.The improvements of the neurological function were recorded of each group 7 d,14 d,and 21 d after the transplantation.Double labeling immunofluorescent staining were used to detect the migration and the differentiation of transplanted MSCs.Results MSCs-EGFP-BDNF group had significant higher levels of BDNF gene and protein expression than MSCs group and MSCs-EGFP group.All MSCs transplanted groups (MSCs groups:7 d:1.6 ±0.2,14 d:1.2 ±0.3,21 d:0.8 ±0.2; MSCs-EGFP groups:7 d:1.6 ±0.3,14 d:1.1 ±0.2,21 d:0.8 ±0.3; MSCs-EGFP-BDNFgroup:7 d:1.2 ±0.3,14 d:0.6 ±0.1,21 d:0.2±0.2) had more improvements in the neural function (F=6.667,18.417,20.882,all P ＜0.05) than PBS group(7 d:2.0 ±0.4,14 d:1.7 ±0.2,21 d:1.3 ±0.2),and MSCs-EGFP-BDNF group had the most significant improvement.With double labeling immunofluorescent staining,the MSCs-EGFP-BDNF group had significantly higher positive rates of glial fibrilary acidicprotein,neuron specific nuclear protein,2',3 '-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase than MSCs group and MSCs-EGFP group,while there was no significant differences between the latter two.Conclusions The expression levels of gene and protein are higher for the MSCs modified with recombinant lentiviral vectors carrying BDNF gene.The modified MSCs can migrate to the perihematomal brain issue of intracerebral hemorrhage,express the characteristic molecules of neurons and improve the neural function after intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To assess the efficacy of the laryngeal mask airway i-gel (LMA i-gel) in patients umdergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 34-62 yr, weighing 45-90 kg, undergoing elective cholecystectomy using fiberoptic laparoscope, were randomized into 2 groups (n =60 each): LMA i-gel group (group I) and LMA ProSeal group (group P). After induction of anesthesia with sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg, propofol 2.5 mg/kg and vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg, LMA i-gel and LMA ProSeal were inserted in group I and P respectively. A gastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of the LMAs. The number of attempts, success rate, success rate of gastric tube placement, airway seal pressure, SpO2 ,PETCO2, peak airway pressure and complications (hypoxemia, nausea and vomiting, choking hoarseness, sore throat and regurgitation of gastric contents) were recorded. The fiberoptic laryngoscope scores were assessed after sccessful LMA placement. The anesthesia time, duration of surgery, extubation time and emergence time were also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in the anesthesia time, duration of surgery, extubation time and emergence time between the two groups ( P ＞ 0.05). The SpO2, PETCO2 and peak airway pressure were within the normal range during operation in both groups. The first attempt success rate of LMA placement and fiberoptic bronchoscopic scores were significantly higher, and the LMA placement time was significantly shorter in group Ⅰ than in group P (P ＜ 0.05). The success rate of LMA and gastric tube placement was 100% in both groups. The incidence of sore throat was significantly lower in group I than in group P ( P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion LMA i-gel can provide adequate ventilation during operation with less complications and can be used effectively for cholecystic laparoscopic surgery.

Objective: To explore the inhibition effects of ectogenic wild type p53 cDNA(Ad wtp53) on colorectal carcinoma cell lines with different p53 gene status and search for the role of wild type p53 tumor suppressor gene in occurrenc and progress of malignant tumor. Methods: MTT process was taken to choose optimal transfection titre. Three kinds of cell lines(p53 gene deletion, mutation and nomal) were transferred by Ad wtp53 in optimal titre. The inhibition effects of these cell lines were observed and compared. Results: The best titre is 1000 MOI and p53 gene deletion cell line (THC 8908) shew the highest sensitivity. G 1 S transition period blocking effects occurred in all cell lines and G 2 M phase regulation effects were not coincidence in three colorectal cell lines. Conclusions: Recombinant adenovirus mediated wild type p53 gene observably inhibited colorectal carcinoma cell lines growth and proliferation, blocked cell cycle in G 0 /G 1 phase and displayed obvious different actions on G 2 M phase among cell lines with different p53 status.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) Guardian for airway management in the patients requiring insertion of nasogastric tube before laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 26-64 yr,weighing 48-95 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ,with Mallampati grade Ⅰ-Ⅲ,scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia,were divided into group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ (n =30 each) using a random number table.In group Ⅰ,the nasogastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of LMA Guardian.In group],the nasogastric tube was inserted through the nostril before operation,and after successful LMA Guardian placement,another nasogastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of LMA Guardian.The hemodynamic parameters,SpO2,end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide and peak airway pressure (Ppeak) were monitored during operation.The fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores were assessed after successful LMA placement,and the nasogastric tube displacement was recorded.The LMA placement time,success rate of LMA placement at first attempt,airway sealing pressure,occurrence of air leakage of LMA and nasogastric tube drainage were recorded.The bloodstains and gastroesophageal reflux were observed after removal of the LMA.The pH values were tested at the tip of LMA and on the dorsal and ventral sides of the body of LMA using pH test papers.The development of adverse reactions in the oropharynx was recorded within 24 h after operation.Results The hemodynamics was stable,the SpO2 and Ppeak were within the normal range during operation,and Ppeak was lower than airway sealing pressure in the two groups (P＞0.05),and there was no significant difference between the two groups.There was no significant difference between the two groups in the LMA placement time,success rate of LMA placement at first attempt,airway sealing pressure,score for exposure of oropharynx,development of adverse reactions in the oropharynx,consumption of anesthetics,development of bloodstains within the body of LMA and gastroesophageal reflux,and pH values at the tip of LMA and on the dorsal and ventral sides of the body of LMA (P＞0.05).Nasogastric tube drainage:the rate of nasogastric tube drainage through the LMA Guardian was 67％ in group Ⅰ;the rate of nasogastric tube drainage through the nostril was 40％,and the rate of nasogastric tube drainage though the LMA Guardian was 50％ in group Ⅱ.No nasogastric tube displacement was found after operation in group Ⅱ.Conclusion For the patients requiring insertion of nasogastric tube before laparoscopic cholecystectomy,insertion of LMA Guardian is easy,and LMA Guardian can assure good airway sealing and adequate ventilation and can be safely and effectively used for airway management in this type of patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the association between hepatic steatosis and the liver tissue expression of HBsAg and HBcAg in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.MethodsFrom January 2005 to June 2008,a total of 147 CHB patients with hepatic steatosis diagnosed by liver biopsy and other 149 CHB patients without hepatic steatosis but with similar HBV DNA titer were enrolled.The differences of HBsAg and HBcAg immunostaining and liver injury in these two groups were compared.The data were analysed using t test and chi square test.ResultsCompared with non-steatosis group,the average age and body weight index of hepatic steatosis group were higher (t values were -3.31and -6.57,both P＜0.01).The percentage of moderate to severe hepatic inflammation in liver,obvious hepatic fibrosis and the strong positive HBsAg staining was lower (30.6％ vs 15.4％ ； 26.5％vs 12.8％； 23.1 ％ vs 6.7 ％； x2=9.63,8.92,15.76； all P＜0.01),and the percentage of strong positive HBcAg staining was also in downtrend.Compared with degree F1 and F2 of liver steatosis,the percentage of HBsAg and HBcAg strong positive staining in liver tissues of degree F3 and F4 was in downtrend.ConclusionsHepatic steatosis affected the expression of HBsAg and HBcAg in liver tissue of CHB patients.As hepatic steatosis appeared and became more severe,both expression of HBsAg and HBcAg and the degree of liver injury were in downtrend.

Using Dachengqi Tang (DCQT) as a model, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprints were applied to optimize machine extracting process with the Box–Behnken experimental design. HPLC fingerprints were carried out to investigate the chemical ingredients of DCQT; synthetic weighing method based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (CRITIC) was performed to calculate synthetic scores of fingerprints; using the mark ingredients contents and synthetic scores as indicators, the Box–Behnken design was carried out to optimize the process parameters of machine decocting process under high pressure for DCQT. Results of optimal process showed that the herb materials were soaked for 45 min and extracted with 9 folds volume of water in the decocting machine under the temperature of 140 1C till the pressure arrived at 0.25 MPa;then hot decoction was excreted to soak Dahuang and Mangxiao for 5 min. Finally, obtained solutions were mixed, filtrated and packed. It concluded that HPLC fingerprints combined with the Box–Behnken experimental design could be used to optimize extracting process of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
