Objective To evaluate the cancer risk of benzene and formaldehyde in different indoor air environments in Guiyang city.Methods From 2004 to 2005,benzene and formaldehyde monitoring was conducted in bedrooms,living rooms, kitchens,offices,classrooms and outdoor environments in winter,spring and autumn,and human health risk assessment was done. Results The mean benzene and formaldehyde concentration in different environments were lower than the China indoor air quality standard except for formaldehyde concentration in offices.The benzene cancer risks of male and female adults were 1.63?10~4 and 1.40?10~(-4)respectively.The formaldehyde cancer risks of male and female adults were 6.05?10~(-4)and 5.23?10~(-4) respectively.The human formaldehyde cancer risk was higher than benzene cancer risk,and the risk for male was higher than that for female.Benzene and formaldehyde cancer risks of different population in different indoor environments were above 1.00?10~(-6), the acceptable level of human cancer risk.Conclusion The benzene and formaldehyde concentrations in different environment in Guiyang city has the high cancer risks to human health.

BACKGROUND: Xiongbitong capsule (capsule) increases blood flow in myocardial ischemic area in patients with coronary heart disease, lessens the size of myocardial infarction and improves ischemic S-T alternation in electrocardiogram (ECG).OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of the capsule on NO metabolism on arterial wall in rabbits and explore the improvement of such drug on myocardial blood flow and protection on myocardium.DESIGN: Randomized group division and control experiment were designed.SETTING: Department of First Internal Medicine, Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Weifang, Shandong.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Teaching-Research Room of Physiology of Weifang Medical College from April 2003 to February 2004. Totally 30 healthy adult rabbits were employed, of either sex and randomized into 3 groups, named normal control, model group and treatment group, 3 rabbits in each one.METHODS: ① Preparation of hyperlipemia (HP) model: In normal control, common granular forage was used. In model group, modeling forage was applied (common granular forage + 3% pig oil + 1% cholesterol powder). In treatment group, besides modeling forage, at the end of the 6th week, the capsule [composed of taizishen (Radix Pseudstellariae), yunling (Poria), gualou (Frnctus Trichosanthis), qingxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae), juhong (Exocarpium Citri Grandis), shichangpu (Rhizoma Acori Graminei), yujin (Radix Curcumaea), zhifuhua (Flos Inulae), jiangxiang (Lignum Dalbergiae Odoriferae), danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), maidong (Radix Liriopis Platyphyllae) and wuweizi (Frnctus Schisandrae).] was administrated every day for gastric perfusion at 1 pill/kg with 10 mL physiological saline for 3 weeks. The intervention was applied totally for 8 weeks. ② Nitrieoxide synthase (NOS) and NO metabolic product kits were provided from Radiation Medical Institute of Military Academy of Medical Sciences. The operation was based on the instrnction. NOS activity was calculated and expressed by NO amount (nmol) produced in one-gram tissue per minutes.Spectrophotometer was used to measure the optic density of sample at 545nm. Sodium nitrite solution was used to prepare standard curve. The concentration of serum NO metabolic products, NO2- and NO3- was expressed with μmol/L. ③ T test was applied for difference comparison among measurement data.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of NOS activity and concentration of serum NO metabolic products in vessel-wall tissue in eachgroup.RESULTS: Totally 30 rabbits all entered result analysis. For NOS activity and concentration of serum NO metabolic products in arterial-wall tissue,the results in model group and treatment group were lower remarkably than the control (P < 0.05-0.01) and the results in treatment group were higher remarkably than model group (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: ① NO system of arterial wall is damaged in HP rabbits and NO metabolic level is decreased in serum. ② Xiongbitong capsule improves the above situation and brings the resistance of myocardial ischemia and protection of myocardium into play.

Objective To investigate the effect of Dicer knockdown on the proliferation,migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cell line TFK-1.Methods The study used liposome-mediated method to transfect Dicer-siRNA into TFK-1 cells.The mRNA and protein expressions of Dicer after transfection were detected by real-time PCR and western blot.CCK8 assay,scratch test and transwell assays were performed to analyze the influence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of cells,respectively.Results Compared with the control,Dicer mRNA level at 48 h and Dicer protein level at 96 h were both significantly reduced after transfection with Dicer-siRNA (P < 0.01).CCK8 assay revealed that the absorbance value significantly increased at 72 h,96 h and 120 h after transfection (P <0.01).Scratch test and transwell assay showed that the migration ability and the number of invasive cells significantly increased (P < 0.05).Conclusion Dicer knockdown enhanced the proliferation,migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cell line TFK-1.

Purpose:This report evaluate whether the single-agent therapy with vinorelbine (V group) may obtain a high response rate, with acceptable toxicity and improvement in survival and quality of life, comparing with the therapy with Kanglaite (a traditional Chinese medicine) (K group) and other supportive care among elderly patients.Methods:Forty patients with advanced NSCLC were included,20 of whom were allocated to receive continual infusional NVB 7.5mg/m 2 /24hr delivered via a central venous line on days 1-5, and NVB 7.5mg /m 2 was given as a 20 min intravenous infusion on days 1 every 3 weeks; 20 of whom were allocated to receive infusional Kanglaite 200 ml on days 1-20 every month. Patients received a minimum of two courses unless progressive disease was detected. Results:V group: CR 0,PR 7,CR+PR 35%(7/20), median survival time was 7.2 months and projected 1-year survival was 25%; K group:CR 0,PR2,CR+PR 10%(2/20),median survival time was 4.8 months and projected 1-year survival was 5%. Conclusions:In elderly patients with NSCLC, single-agent vinorelbine treatment is associated with better effective,better survival and improved quality of life than Kanglaite .Its toxicity is mild and acceptable.
