OBJECTIVE:To investigate the healing-promoting effect of total tanshinone on sore and ulcer of model rats. METH-ODS:Staphylococcus aureus levitation liquid was made to reproduce model rats with sore and ulcer,sc. 50 rats were randomly di-vided into normal group(equal volume of CMC-Na solution),model group(equal volume of CMC-Na solution),ampicillin group (positive drug 20 mg/kg)and total tanshinone high and low dose groups(200 and 100 mg/kg),ig,once a day for continuous 12 d. The general conditions were observed. The content of lysozyme(LZM)and immunoglobulins G(IgG)in serum were tested af-ter 12 d;the content of LZM and IgG in purulent secretion of model rats were respectively tested after dosing of 4 d,8 d and 12 d. The integral of wound deterioration were evaluated. RESULTS:Compared with normal control group,the index was worse in model group. Compared with model group,the appetite and activity amount of total tanshinone in high dose group (200 and 100 mg/kg)were increased,with no secretion on the wound and a clean escharosis;content of LZM and IgG in serum of rats in in to-tal tanshinone high and low dose group were increased after 12 d;also,the content of LZM and IgG in purulent secretion of rats in total tanshinone high and low dose groups were increased after dosing of 4 d,8 d,and 12 d;the integral of wound deterioration in total tanshinone high dose group were decreased after dosing of 8 d and 12 d,with significant difference (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Total tanshinone can promote the wound healing on sore and ulcer of model rats by a mechanism that is related to the content of LZM and IgG in serum and purulent secretion.

Digestive tract reconstruction is an important part of gastric carcinoma operation as well as tumor resection and lymph node dissection.Surgeons are seeking the optimal reconstruction method that reduces the occurrence of complications and maintains better quality of postoperative life extremely.Uncut Roux-en-Y anastomosis is a modified procedure in which an artificial jejunal occlusion is devised to avoid Roux stasis syndrome based on Billroth Ⅱ and Braun's anastomosis.Compared to the conventional Roux-en-Y anastomosis,the uncut Roux-en-Y anastomosis retains the advantage of preventing biliary and pancreatic secretions reflux,furthermore,it can decrease the symptoms associated with Roux stasis owing to the abnormal myoelectrical conduction of Roux limb.Because the early studies indicated that there was higher incidence of dehiscence or recanalization of the jejunal occlusion,the uncut Roux-en-Y anastomosis has not been widely applied.Since jejunal occlusion has been optimized recently,the uncut Roux-en-Y reconstruction may be an optional and appropriate method of digestive tract reconstruction after distal gastrectomy.

In order to investigate the effects of vector-based hairpin small interference RNA (shRNA) on the reversal of multi-drug resistance (mdr) of A2780/Taxol cells, a novel vector pEGFP-H1/mdr1 containing mdr1-shRNA targeting at position 2943-2963 of mdr1 was designed and synthesized. Subsequently, A2780/Taxol cells were transfected with pEGFP-H1/mdr1, and the expression of mdr1 mRNA and P-gp was detected by using RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. MTT was used to measure the 50% inhibition concentration (IC(50)) of Taxol to A2780/Taxol cells. The results showed that at the 24th and 48th h after transfection, the expression of mdr1 mRNA was decreased to (52.1+/-1.0)% and (0.01+/-1.7)%, and that of P-gp decreased to (88.3+/-2.1)% and 0%, respectively. At the 48th h after transfection, the relative reversal rate of A2780/Taxol cells to Taxol was 69.54%. In vivo, the nude mice xenografts were injected with pEGFP-H1/mdr1, and then administrated Taxol. The tumor volume in pEGFP-H1/mdr1-transfected group was significantly reduced as compared with that in blank control group or pEGFP-H1-transfected group (807.20+/-103.16 vs 1563.78+/-210.54 or 1480.78+/-241.24 mm(3), both P<0.01). These results suggested that transfection of pEGFP-H1/mdr1 could efficiently down-regulate the expression of mdr1 mRNA and P-gp in A2780/Taxol cells, and effectively restore the sensitivity of A2780/Taxol cells to Taxol both in vitro and in vivo.
