ObjectiveTo study the relationship among serum levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods60 patients were randomized into two groups, group A (n=30) received IL-2 (1 MIU?day -1 for seven days), group B (n=30) served as control. Venous blood levels of IL-12?IL-2 and sIL-2R in all patients were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after the IL-2 administration. Results There was positive correlation between serum levels of IL-2 and IL-12, negative correlation between serum levels of IL-2 and sIL-2R and no correlation between that of IL-12 and sIL-2R. Mean serum levels of IL-12,IL-2 and sIL-2R significantly (P

OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism of Cassia obtusifolia L in decreasing blood-lipid.METHODS:Primary cultures of rat hepatocytes in vitro were used to determine the concentrations of proteins in hepatocytes by the method of Folin-phenol reagent and to assay the cholesterol synthesis from 14 C-acetate with liquid scintillation count.RESULTS:Ex?tract of Cassia obtusifolia L inhibited cholesterol synthesis from 14 C-acetate,but cassiaside B didn't affect cholesterol synthe?sis.CONCLUSION:The mechanism of extract of Cassia obtusifolia L in decreasing blood-lipid may result from inhibition of cholesterol synthesis,but inhibiting cholesterol synthesis may be not the main approach of cassiaside B in decreasing blood-lipid.

Objective To prepare gliclazide (GZ) hydroxypropyl ? cyclodextrin (HP ? CD) inclusion complexes in order to enhance its aqueous solubility. Methods Inclusion complexes, prepared using 3 different methods of spray drying, freeze drying, and grinding, were identified by phase solubility analysis, infrared spectrophotometry, thermal analysis, and determination of the limited ammonium concentration. Results The HP ? CD inclusion complexes could be prepared by using the 3 different methods. The ratio of host/guest molecules was 1∶1. Ammonium residues were detected in inclusion complexes prepared by the freeze dried method. Conclusion The inclusion complexes can be prepared by the spray drying and grinding methods. The solubility of gliclazide can be significantly increased in the inclusion complexes.

Objective To compare the role of Gd-EOB-DTPA dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT),and to determine the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy in focal hepatic lesions.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 32 patients with focal hepatic lesions who had undergone MRI and MDCT examinations.These patients were divided into two groups:the CT group and the MRI group.The results were analysed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.Result There were 185 focal hepatic lesions.The sensitivity,specificity and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were 86.5％,90.9％,0.855,respectively for the MRI group and they were significantly higher than the CT group (63.6％,54.5％,0.532).For detection of lesions ＜1 cm,the sensitivity,specificity and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the MRI group were 90％,86.6％,0.886,respectively,which were also significantly higher than the CT group (50.5％,45.5％,0.500).When combined with pathological findings and follow-up,the diagnostic accuracy was 40.6％ using Gd-EOB-DTPA DCE-MRI.Conclusion Gd-EOB-DTPA DCE-MRI has a higher detection rate,better accuracy and diagnostic value for focal liver lesions (＜1 cm) than MDCT.

OBJECTIVE: To propose a HPLC method for quantitative assessment of cilostazol in human plasma. METHODS: Chromatogram column was C18(150mm?4.6mm, 5?m), mobile phases were acetonitrile-water(40∶60,V/V), the flow rate was 1.4ml/min,determined wavelength was 254nm. RESULTS: Cilostazol concentration was in the linear range of 25～2000ng/ml(r=0.9 999)with the lowest determinable concentration of 12.5ng/ml,recoveries of cilostazol from plasma were 99.99%～101.44%,the relative standard variation of intra-day and inter-day were 0.20%～2.90% and 0.19%～2.13%(n=5) respectively. CONCLUSIONS: This method is s simple, convenient, accurate, and applicable for study of pharmacokinetics of cilostazol in clinic.

Objective To evaluate the expression of tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its receptor(TRAILR) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and its therapeutic potential for human HCC. Methods Expressions of TRAIL and TRAILR were determined in and adjacent to carcinoma tissues, and normal liver tissues. The cytotoxic effects of TRAIL in combination with chemotherapeutic agents on HCC cell lines were detected. Results Expression of TRAIL in tumor adjacent tissue was higher than in cancer tissue. There were high expression of DR and low expression of DcR in HCC tissue in contrast to normal hepatic tissue(?~ 2=4.68,P
