Objective:The killing activity of tumor killer cells against the MGC-803 gastric carcinoma cells was investigated Methods:The IL-6+CD3AK cells were prepared from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from the culture media containing rIL-6 with rIL-2 and anti-CD3Ab The other control groups were cultivated in rIL-6 only, in rIL-6 with anti-CD3ab, in rIL-2 only Each group was divided into four groups by the ratio of effect and target cells After 24 h and 48 h, the death rate of cancer cells was determined by MTT assay and trypan-blue exclusion, the morphologic changes were observed by various microscope Results:The killing activity of rIL-6+CD3AK cells was higher than those of the other groups(P

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of ligustrazine on the SCGRP and on the expression of CGRP,PDGF and bFGF in the lung of CHPH rats.METHOD:A stable rat modle of CHPH was established.The serum CGRP levels were mesured by enzyme immunoassay.The expression of CGRP,PDGF and bFGF in lumg were observed by immunohistochemical method.RESULTS:①The SCGRP level of H group was significantly lower than that of N group (P<0.01) but no difference between the H+Li group and H group (P>0.05).②The expression of CGRP,PDGF and bFGF increased obviously in lung tissue of H group,whereas the expression of bFGF and PDGF of H+Li group reduced obviously but that of CGRP was not influenced.CONCLUSION:SCGRP reduction and expression increasion increasion of PDGF.bFGF have close relation with the formation of CHPH;Inhibiting the expression of PDGF.bFGF may be an aspect of the mechanism of preventing and treating HPH by ligustrazine.
