Chinese Journal of Medical Physics 2000;17(4):235-236
The atomic force microscope (AFM), an indispensable tool on the field of scientific research of life, has been uesd to study the biomacromolecule rescently. The new progress on hyaluronic acid (HA) and tubular myelin (TM) through the tool vas obvious. Thestudy on super-elementary units of chromatin in the nanometer (nm) scale is a base step for the higher level. AFM provided the possibility of killing viras in physical method, with studying on the effect of the mechanical resonances on living cells. As far as the medicine concerned, basic condition of test in clinic pathodogy has been formed in some fields.

Objective To investigate the effects of a new radiosensitizer, nitroimidazole-derivative--Doranidazole on pancreatic cancer cells under hypoxic condition. Methods The human pancreatic cancer cell lines were exposed in vitro to a single fraction of high dose?-ray radiation either with doranidazole or under hypoxic condition. The percentage of dead cells was analyzed with a multiwell plated reader and the fluorescence intensities of propidium iodide before and after a digitonin tratment were measured. The sensitizing effect of doranidazole on cell killing by high-dose irradiation was evaluated by time-course, dose-dependency, and microscopic observations. The selective radiosensitive effect of doranidazole on hypoxic cells was evaluated by flow cytometry. Results Of seven pancreatic cancer cell lines, the mortalities of 5 cell lines were significantly increased in presence of doranidazole under hypoxic condition 5 days after 30 ?Gy irradiation, but not under aerobic condition. Meanwhile, the radiosensitizing effect of Doranidazole on pancreatic cancer cells was demonstrated as time- and dose-dependent manner. Conclusion Doranidazole can enhance the radiosensitivity on pancreatic cancer cells under hypoxic condition with high-dose irradiation.

Although the treatment has made great progress in breast cancer, there are still many problems. For example, primary or secondary on chemotherapy drug resistance and the limitation of treatment in triple-negative breast cancer. So, targeted therapy has become a new strategy to improve this situation. Previous studies showed that the occurrence of breast cancer may be related to the activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways, and mTOR is an index to judge the prognosis. Parts of breast cancers can obtain clinical benefit with mTOR inhibitors, and it might be a potential treatment target in breast cancer.

AIM: To observe whether metallothionein plays a role in cardiac protective effect of basic fibroblast growth factor on anoxic/reperfusion (A/R) injury in cultured cardiomyocytes and study the possible mechanism of cardiac protection by bFGF.METHODS: The present study made the model of myocyte A/R injury after having a 24 h incubation by bFGF( 10-10、10-9、10-s mol/L) and bFGF( 10-9 mol/L) + PD098059 respectively. We measured the levels of MT and MDA in myocytes, and the changes of LDH and protein in cultured medium. We also counted the number of viable cell in groups. RESULTS: The contents of myocardial MT were significantly increased after treatment by bFGF. The levels of MT in I0-l0 mol/L、10-9 mol/L and 10-8 mol/L bFGF treated groups increased 54 %、 62%、 76% respectively, compared with the A/R group, and the number of viable cell were also greatly increased, LDH and protein leakage in cultured medium and MDA contents in myocyte were dramatically decreased in bFGF treated groups. All the protection were completely disappeared with the inhibition of MT production with PD098059, theinhibitor of mitogen- activated protein kinase(MAPK). CONCLUSION: MT involves in the protection of bFGF in cultured cardiomyocytes. It might be related with activation of MAPKase.

Objective To analyze the clinical features in multiple myeloma(MM)patients, and the summaries the treatment effect of different therapies. Methods The clinical initial symptoms, laboratory data,clinical efficacy of treatment with MP, M2, VAD, BD,T hal + DEX and other chemotherapy in 120 patients newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among 120 MM cases,the incidence peak was situated in 40 - 60 years age group, the mean age at oneset was 54 years, which indicated that the onset age were getting younger in China. Bone pain, anemia, infection were the most common initial symptoms of MM. In terms of clinical efficacy:①Significant difference between MP and VAD programs(χ2 = 10. 626,P <0. 05=,but no significant difference between MP and M2 programs(χ2 = 2. 439, P > 0. 05), MP and Thal + DEX programs(χ2 = 5. 870, P >0. 05. ②Significant difference between M2 and VAD programs(χ2 = 8. 307, P < 0. 05=; No significant difference between M2 and Thal + DEX programs(χ2 = 2. 592, P > 0. 05). ③ No significant difference between VAD and Thal +DEX programs(χ2 =0. 916,P> 0. 05). ④BD program is the most efficient program,but this discovery need further confirmation because of the small number of cases observed. Conclusions At present, chemotherapy is the main treatment for MM, most scheme like MP, M2, VAD, BD, etc. , have certain effect depend on different patient groups but remain improving. The choice of appropriate chemotherapy and autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation will help to improve the prognosis of the disease.

BACKGROUND:Total knee replacement is regarded an effective treatment of knee osteoarthritis, based on the transformation of biology-psychology-social medicine pattern, the concept of“quality of life”has attracted increasing concerns.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of total knee replacement surgery on the pain, function and quality of life among elder patients with severe knee osteoarthritis.
METHODA total of 102 elder patients with severe knee osteoarthritis were recruited from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between January 2010 and January 2013. The clinical manifestations and 12-month fol ow-up outcomes were observed and recorded. The involved patients were randomly divided into two grouptreatment group (59 cases, receiving total knee replacement) and control group (43 cases, receiving expectant treatment such as drugs, but no surgery). Patients were evaluated using HSS scale and WHOQOL-100 scale before surgery and 12 months after surgery. Furthermore, the correlation between influencing factors and HSS and WHOQOL-100 scores was analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 12 months postoperatively, the HSS scores of patients in treatment group was (82.03±10.17) points, which was obviously higher than that in control group (P<0.01). The WHOQOL-100 scores in treatment group were also significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01). The psychology sub-item scores of patients after total knee replacement were close to that of normal controls (P>0.50). The regression analysis shows that marital status (β=1.988), complication (β=2.035) and HSS scores (β=2.108) are the main influencing factors for the quality of life among patients undergoing replacement. Experimental findings indicate that, HSS score is an effective indicator to assess the effect of total knee replacement on the pain and function of elder patients with severe knee osteoarthritis. WHOQOL-100 is introduced to further improve the assessment of quality of life after total knee replacement surgery in severe knee osteoarthritis. The marital status, complication and HSS scores are the key influencing factors for the quality of life among severe knee osteoarthritis patients. Deep vein thrombosis affects the out-of-bed time, and the mate-accompanying during the fol ow-ups plays a positive role on the quality of life and mental state of patients.
