To investigate the induction of apoptosis of mouse colonic adenocarcinoma CT26 cells by recombinant Clostridium difficile toxin B (rTcdB), CT26 cells were exposed to different concentrations of rTcd B. Inhibition of cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay. The activation of Caspase 3 was measured by colorimetric method. Cell morphological analysis and flow cytometry were performed to confirm cell apoptosis. rTcd B inhibited the proliferation of CT26 cells in a timeand dose-dependent manner. Caspase 3 activity in CT26 cells was elevated remarkably after rTcd B exposure for 6 h, 12 h, 18 h or 24 h, as compared with the control group. Morphological changes were observed by fluorescence microscopy. The exposure of rTcd B to CT26 cells induced a timeand dose-dependent apoptotic cell death as determined by flow cytometry analysis. The results showed that recombinant Clostridium difficile toxin B induced apoptosis of CT26 cells.

Objective To study long-term outcome and prog nostic factors of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated by three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT). Methods 169 patients with unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated by 3DCRT were enrolled in the study. The survival rates of 1 year, 3 years and 5 years were estimated by life-table method. Univariate prognostic factor was tested by Log-rank method. Multivariate prognostic factor was analyzed by Cox model. Results The 1 year, 3 years and 5 years survival rates were 63.2%, 34.1%and 21.3%, respectively. Univariate analyses showed that the length of tumor, the site of lesion, chemotherapy, the dose of plan gross tumor volume (PGTV) and the short-term outcomes after treatment were the important prognostic factors for the long-term survival (P< 0.05), and multivariate analyses showed that the length of tumor, chemotherapy and the short-term outcomes after treatment were the independent prognostic factors for the long-term survival (P< 0.05). Conclusions The patients with unresectable esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated by 3DCRT have a good long-term prognosis. The length of tumor, chemotherapy and the short-term outcomes after treatment are the important prognostic factors for the long-term survival of the patients. Chemotherapy can improve the long-term prognosis significantly.

The experiment is designed to explore pathological festures and material basis of pseadoanaphylactoid reaction induced by notoginseng total saponin preparation. Mouse pseadoanaphylactoid reaction was used, 50 ICR mice were randomly assigned to control group, positive medicine group, notoginseng total saponin preparation low-dose group, notoginseng total saponin preparation middle-dose group, notoginseng total saponin preparation high-dose group on average. They are treated by intravenous injection of test substance solutions containing 0.4% Evans blue (EB). 30 min later, scores of ear blue staining and quantitation of ear EB exudation were recorded. Another two experiment were repeated in the same way excluding EB, just to. detect the related cytokines in serum using ELISA. We found that the scores of pseudoanaphylactoid reaction in notoginseng total saponin preparation injection middle-dose group and high-dose group was evidently higher than that in control group, suggesting that notoginseng total saponin preparation injection may be can lead to pseadoanaphylactoid reaction. HE staining showed that pseadoanaphylactoid reaction induced by notoginseng total saponin preparation injection is related to inflammation. Histamine, VEGF and TNF-α levels in notoginseng total saponin preparation middle-dose group and high-dose group significantly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) than control group and showed a dose-dependent manner as well as consistent with the degree of ear blue dye. While IL-6 and IL-10 content did not increase significantly in notoginseng total saponin preparation low-dose group and middle-dose group, but they significantly higher than control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) when it increased to quadrupe clinical concentrations, eight times of the clinical dose. So pseadoanaphylactoid reaction caused by notoginseng total saponin preparation may be related to histamine, VEGF, TNF-α, and it is possible that IL-6 and IL-10 can play a role when pseadoanaphylactoid reaction achieve a certain high degree.
