Objective Effects of fucoidan from Cladosiphon okamuranusa (CF)on mice bearing Siso were investigated. Methods Different concentrations of CF were given to mice bearing tumor by ig. The tumor weight, spleen index, thymus index and serum MDA content, serum SOD activity were detected by physical and biochemical methods. Results The growth of S180 tumor was inhibited significantly by CF in different concentrations. The inhibitory rate ranged from 27. 83% to 33. 97%. The highest inhibition rate occurred in the medium dosage. The spleen index, thymus index and leukocyte counts were not influenced obviously. The content of serum MDA was decreased remarkably and the activity of serum SOD was enhanced notably. Conclusion The mechanism of anti -tumor effects of CF may relate with its antioxidation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of dietary cholesterol on hepatic TG accumulation in rats. Method:Fourteen male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups and fed 1% cholesterol or cholesterol free AIN76 diets. After 4 w,serum triglyceride(TG) ,total cholesterol(TC) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) ,phospholipids(PL) ,glucose and free fatty acid(NEFA) levels were determined. Hepatic lipid concentrations(TG,TC,PL) and the activities and/or mRNA expression of malic enzyme(ME) ,glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase(G6PDH) ,fatty acid synthase(FAS) ,phosphatidate phophatase(PAP) ,carnitine palmitoyl transferase(CPT1,2) ,HMG-CoA reductase,acylCoA-cholesterol acyltransferase(ACAT) ,cholesterol 7?-hydroxylase(CYP7A) were also determined. Results:The serum TC and non-HDL-C levels were significantly increased but TG and HDL-C levels were significantly decreased by cholesterol feeding. The concentrations of hepatic TC and TG were 4-20 folds higher in cholesterol group than those in cholesterol free group. The activities of hepatic ME,G6PDH,FAS,PAP and CPT were depressed by cholesterol(40%,70%,50%,15% and 25% respectively) . The mRNA expression of FAS,CPT1,CPT2,and HMG-CoA reductase were down-regulated(35%,30%,50% and 25% respectively) and CYP7? and ACAT were up regulated(6.5 and 1.6 fold) by cholesterol in liver. Conclusion:The dietary cholesterol increases TG accumulation in liver,but dose not stimulates the activity and the gene expressionof hepatic TG synthesis related enzymes.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of two anesthesia approaches on infections of immunological parameters during splenectomy in hepatocellular carcinoma patients .Methods: Sixty hepatocellular carcinoma patients were divided into two groups randomly,each groups was thirty (liver function Child-Pugh grade was A-B).Total intravenous anesthesia with pmpofol group (group A,n=30 ) and combined intravenous inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane group (group B,n=30 ).Before induction of anesthesia , at the end of operation ,and after operation 24 hours.blood samples were collected to determined with the level of CD 3+,CD4+,CD8+, CD4+/CD8+and TNF-α, IL-2, IL-6 of hepatocellular carcinoma patients .Results: The perioperative physiological index MAP , HR, SpO2,RR each point had no obvious difference between two groups (P>0.05).The levels of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+had no significant difference between two groups before anesthesia (P>0.05).There was no significant changes in CD3+,CD8+with two groups in all moments.Compared with the T0,A,B two groups of CD4+,CD4+/CD8+were lower (P<0.05)in T1 point,but T2 point and T0 point had no significant difference in group B .The levels of CD4+,CD4+/CD8+in group B were higher than in group A ( P<0.05 ) . Compared with T0 moment,group A and group B patients postoperative IL-6 in T1,T2 level increased significantly (P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference between group A and group B in all moment .( P>0.05 ) .Compared with the T0 moment,there was no significant change in group A of TNF-αlevel (P>0.05),while group B increased significantly in postoperative day ( P<0.05 ) .The level of IL-2 in each moment interval between the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05 ) . Conclusion: Both total intravenous anesthesia with pmpofol and combined intravenous inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane inhibit the immune function of the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma cell immune reaction .The inhibitory effect of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia on cell immune function is less affected .

BACKGROUND:Regional myocardial diastolic dysfunction has been recognized as a sensitive and characteristic sign of myocardial ischemia and infarction,train rate imaging(SRI)is a novel ultrasonic technique with good spatial and high temporal resolution,nd it can be used to quantitatively analyze regional myocardial function.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics of the longitudinal diastolic strain rate(SR)in ischemic and infarct myocardium by SRI,n order to explore the clinical value of SRI in evaluating regional left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease.DESIGN:A case-control study.SETTING:Department of Cardiology.Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.PARTICIPANTS:All the participants were selected from outpatients and/or inpatients of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between October 2005 and April 2006.Twenty-one patients with myocardial infarction(MI group)and 11 patients with angina pectoris(AP group)were enrolled in the study.Twenty age-matched healthy subjects served as controls.METHODS:After performing conventional echocardiographic examination,olor tissue Doppler images from apical four-,three- and two-chamber views (posterior septum and lateral wall,nterior septum and posterior wall,nterior and inferior wall)were recorded on magneto-optical disk.Then SR curves were derived from the stored images off-line using QLAB 4.2software.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Ischemic segments in the AP group,nfarct segments in the MI group and normal segments in the control group were analyzed.The parameters measured included peak early diastolic SR (SRe)and peak late diastolic SR(SRa).RESULTS:Compared with the normal myocardium,oth SRe and SRa decreased significantly in the infarct and ischemic myocardium(all P＜0.05).No significant differences were observed with respect to SRe and SRa between the infarct and ischemic myocardium(both P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:SRI can be used to quantitatively analyze regional myocardial diastolic dysfunction in patients with coronary artery disease,ut its value is limited in differentiating infarct from ischemic myocardium.

An experimental animal model of malignant soft-tissue tumor was established to investigate the applied value of multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging preliminarily. Ten New Zealand white rabbits which were implanted with VX2 tumor in either proximal thigh were subjected to CT plain scan and perfusion scan two weeks later respectively, then the original perfusion images were transmitted to AW4.0 Workstation. The functional maps and perfusion parameters including blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT) and permeability surface (PS) were computed and analyzed. All the values of BF, BV and PS in VX2 soft-tissue tumors were obviously higher while the MTT-values were lower than those in the normal muscular tissues significantly. It was suggested that multi-slice spiral CT perfusion imaging is an accurate, convenient and relatively safe functional imaging technique, and can give a quantitative assessment to angiogenesis and blood perfusion of soft-tissue tumors.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of orotic acid-induced fatty liver in rats. Method Rats were randomly divided into 2 groups,and fed AIN93 diet with or without 1% orotic acid (OA) for 10d. Serum total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),hepatic lipids concentrations (TG,TC and phospholipids),hepatic enzymes activities and mRNA levels of key enzymes related to lipids metabolism,as well as hepatic genes expression of transcription factors were determined. Results OA administration significantly increased serum and hepatic TG concentration. The activity and mRNA level of fatty acid synthase (FAS) were obviously up-regulated by OA treatment,whereas the activities and mRNA concentrations of carnitin palmitoyl transferase (CPT) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) were depressed significantly. Furthermore,OA also stimulated the mRNA expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c),but did not alter the mRNA concentrations of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR?) in liver. Conclusion:The stimulation of TG synthesis caused by enhancement of SREBP-1c and its target genes-FAS,which could be responsible for development of fatty liver. On the other hand,the inhibition of fatty acid beta-oxidation and VLDL secretion were related to the observed lipids accumulation.
