China Oncology 1998;0(04):-
PURPOSE To sutdy the effects of dibutyl pathalate (DBP) on the proliferation and apoptosis of leukemic cells from patients suffering from acute leukemia. METHODS The cell culture in vitro was used to study the effect of DBP on the proliferation of leukemic cells, while agrose gel electrophoresis of DNA fragments was used to study the effect of DBP on apoptosis of leukemic cells. RESULTS DBP could inhibit the proliferation of leukemic cells got from patients suffering from acute leukemia in vitro. The percentage of inhibition were 24.24% and 36.33% respectively when leukemic cells were exposed to 50?g/ml and 200?g/ml DBP for 24 hours. Leukemic cells from acute myelogenous leukemia were more susceptive to DBP than those from acute lymphocytic leukemia. DBP also induced the leukemic cells from patients to die via apoptosis and showed typical "ladder" of DNA fragments for apoptotic cells in agrose gel electrophoresis. CONCLUSION DBP could clear the leukemic cells in bone marrows of patients suffering from acute leukemia by suppressing the growth of leukemic cells and inducing them to die via apoptosis.

3.Gene polymorphism and physical constitution theory: starting point of exploring syndromes of lung cancer.
Journal of Integrative Medicine 2010;8(1):15-9
Physical constitution theory is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Physical constitution is associated with the incidence, development and prognosis of diseases. Gene polymorphism is a result of the interaction between internal and external environments during the human evolution, and it is the reason for differences in biological characteristics and disease susceptibility of individuals. Current status of the research on physical constitution theory, lung cancer syndromes and gene polymorphism are summarized in this paper. Exploring lung cancer syndromes from the point of view of gene polymorphism may reveal the scientific connotation of lung cancer syndromes, and provide new evidence and method for diagnosis of lung cancer.

ObjectiveBy observing and comparing the effect of wheat-sized moxibustion on the quality of life and interleukin (IL)-10 expression in stageⅢ~Ⅳtumor patients of two different traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patterns by using QLQ-C30 questionnaire, to see whether wheat-sized moxibustion can improve the quality of life, regulate oncology-related immune system, and enhance the survival rate of the stageⅢ~Ⅳtumor patients.MethodForty-two tumor patients were randomized into a treatment group and a control group and were differentiated into TCM patterns. The treatment group was intervened by conventional Chinese and Western medicine plus 2 weeks of wheat-sized moxibustion. QLQ-C30 questionnaire was adopted for evaluation before and after treatment, and peripheral blood was drawn to detect the expression of IL-10.ResultWheat-sized moxibustion improved the quality of life, especially fatigueand poor appetite; the expression of IL-10 dropped after wheat-sized moxibustion.Conclusion Wheat-sized moxibustion can improve the quality of life of the tumor patients and down-regulate the expression of IL-10.

A prospective study was conducted for 91 cases of fever patients after neurosurgical procedures during the period of January-December 2013.They were divided into non-infection (n =42) and infection (n =49) groups according to whether there was infection complication.And another 51 nonsurgical hospitalized patients without fever or infection were selected as control group.The levels of procalcitonin (PCT),C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) were detected respectively.Statistical analysis showed that the level of PCT had no significant difference between non-infection and control groups (P > 0.05).However,it was markedly elevated in infection group than non-infection group (P < 0.01).The level of CRP was significantly different between non-infection and control groups (P < 0.01).And it was the same between infection and non-infection groups.The level of WBC had significant difference between non-infection and control groups (P < 0.05) and infection and non-infection groups (P < 0.01).The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that either sensitivity or specificity of PCT was the highest.Compared with CRP and WBC,PCT may identify more accurately the causes of fever after neurosurgical procedures.

Objective To determine the optimized fractionated radiation schedule by comparing the dose-response relationship between different fractionated radiation schedules with a total dose of 40 Gy or 60 Gy in subclinical breast tumor.Methods Balb/c nude mice bearing subclinical human breast cancer (injected subcutaneously into the hind legs with 1.5 × 105 or 3.1 × 105 exponentially growing MCF-7 cells) were assigned randomly to blank control group (without radiation),conventionally fractionated radiation group (200 cGy,once daily,10 times/week),hyperfractionated radiation group (160 cGy,twice daily with an interval of 6 h,5 times/week),first hypofractionated radiation group (300 cGy,once daily,5 times/ week),and second hypofractionated radiation group (400 cGy,once every other day,3 times/week) ;the total dose was 40 Gy or 60 Gy.The measurement indices were tumor formation rate,short-term tumor control rate,long-term tumor control rate,the time of tumor recurrence,and the maximum diameter of the bottom of tumor.The observation lasted 24 weeks.Data were compared between these groups by chi-square test.Results With a total dose of 40 Gy (the number of injected cells was 1.5 × 105,the tumor formation rate of the blank control group was 2/8),hyperfractionated radiation was the optimized schedule.With a total dose of 60 Gy (the number of injected cells was 3.1 × 105,the tumor formation rate of the blank control group was 11/11),the first hypofractionated radiation (300 cGy,once daily,5 times/week) was the optimized schedule (P =0.001);the short-term and long-term tumor control rates of the conventionally fractionated radiation group,hyperfractionated radiation group,second hypofractionated radiation group,and first hypofractionated radiation group were 0/0 (tumor formation rates:8/8 and 8/8),50%/25% (tumor formation rates:4/8 and 6/8),25 %/25 % (tumor formation rates:6/8 and 6/8)),and 67 %/67 % (tumor formation rates:4/12 and 4/12),respectively.Conclusions The optimized fractionated radiation schedule for subclinical breast cancer and its total dose vary with the number of injected tumor cells.When the tumor formation rate is 100%,hypofractionated radiation (300 cGy,once daily,5 times/week) is the optimized schedule in terms of long-term tumor control.

BACKGROUND:BioFlex system as a new pedicle screw fixation of dynamic stabilization device has less been reported concerning its biomechanics.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of BioFlex system fixation at different decompression ranges on disc stress at adjacent segments.
METHODS:Eight samples of fresh calf spines were used. Under physiologic axial loads (500, 900, 2 300 N), electronic universal testing machine was used to simulate the lumbar spine at three physiological states (standing, sitting and bending, standing on a portable 20 kg weight and bending). Progressive decompression modeling for each specimen and dividing into five groups:(1) complete status group;(2) complete status+BioFlex group;(3) partial laminectomy+BioFlex group;(4) 1/2 medial facetectomy+BioFlex group;(5) total facetectomy+BioFlex group. Strain gauges were used to record the stress of disc annulus. Electronic universal testing machine was used to record load-displacement curve and calculate stiffness.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The stress of the adjacent segment of the intervertebral disc increased with the expansion of the range of decompression. Compared with the complete status, stress obviously increased after BioFlex fixation, showing significant differences (P<0.05). The stress was significantly increased in the 1/2 medial facetectomy+BioFlex group compared with the partial laminectomy+BioFlex group (P<0.05). However, no significant difference was detected between the partial laminectomy+BioFlex group and complete status+BioFlex group, and between total facetectomy+BioFlex group and 1/2 medial facetectomy+BioFlex group (P>0.05). (2) Axial stiffness reduced with the expansion of the range of decompression. Compared with the complete status, axial stiffness noticeably increased after BioFlex fixation. The difference was not significant among four kinds of reconstruction structures. (3) These findings confirmed that after BioFlex fixation, with the expansion of the range of decompression, the stress of adjacent segments of intervertebral disc gradual y increased, but different ranges of decompression cannot affect the stiffness of reconstruction structure.
