Objective To study the effects of drug-containing serum of Ficus Hirta on oxidative damage of spleen lymphocyte due to aging in aged mice; To discuss its mechanism of action.Methods Forty aged mice were randomly divided into control group and high-, medium- and low-dose Ficus Hirta groups. Control group was given 0.9% sodium chloride solution for gavage, while high-, medium- and low-dose Ficus Hirta groups were given 6.6, 4.4, and 2.2 g/kg aqueous extract of Ficus Hirta for gavage. The spleen index was observed for optimum dose in aged mice. The optimum time and dilution of drug-containing serum of Ficus Hirta were confirmed by MTT method in lymphocyte proliferation test. The positive rate of senescent cells, the activity of T-SOD and the contents of MDA and ROS were determined in cellular antioxidant experiment after treated by optimal drug-containing serum for 48 h. Results Compared with the control group, the spleen index was significantly improved in high-, medium- and low-dose Ficus Hirta groups (P<0.05,P<0.01). 20% drug-containing serum of Ficus Hirta cultivated for 48 h had the best effects on lymphocyte proliferation in aged mice. 20% drug-containing serum of Ficus Hirta could significantly decrease the positive rate of senescent cells (P<0.01), improve T-SOD activity and decrease the contents of MDA and ROS (P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion The drug-containing serum of Ficus Hirta can improve the proliferative activity of spleen lymphocyte in aged mice and the mechanism of action may be involved in decreasing the positive rate of senescent cells and increasing antioxidant ability of lymphocyte.

Purpose To investigate the expression of Wnt-1 and β-catenin protein in cervical squamous cell carcinomas ( CSCC) and their relationship with invasion and lymph node metastasis. Methods Expression of Wnt-1 and β-catenin protein were examined on immunohistochemistry containing 78 specimens of CSCC and 30 specimens of normal cervical tissues. Results The positive rates of Wnt-1 and β-catenin protein in normal cervical tissues were 20.0% and 10.0% respectively. The positive rates of Wnt-1 andβ-cate-nin protein in CSCC were 56.4%, and 74.4% respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.001). The positive rates of Wnt-1 andβ-catenin protein in 33 cases with lymph node metastasis of CSCC were 72.7% and 90.9% respective-ly. The positive rates of Wnt-1 andβ-catenin protein in 45 cases with no lymph node metastasis of CSCC were 44.4% and 62.2% re-spectively. The expression of Wnt-1 andβ-catenin protein was significantly related with grades of tumors and depth of invasion and FI-GO stages (P<0.05), and there was no significantly difference between the expression of Wnt-1 andβ-catenin protein and CSCC pa-tients age (P>0.05). Spearman analysis showed that the expression of Wnt-1 protein was positive related to the expression ofβ-cate-nin protein (rs =0.490, P<0.001). Conclusion The abnormal expression of Wnt-1 and β-catenin may be involved in initiation, development, invasion, and metastasis of CSCC, and it is suggested that Wnt-1 and β-catenin be considered as potential markers for invasion, metastasis, and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule (FZYLG)-medicated serum on apoptosis of liver cancer cells H22 from mice and its mechanism. METHODS: Liver cancer cells H22 from mice were incubated in culture media containing sera from rabbits medicated with different doses of FZYLG. Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle and analyze the apoptotic rate of the H22 cells. The morphological changes of the H22 cells were observed by transmission electron microscope and the apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were examined by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase complex (SABC) method. RESULTS: FZYLG-medicated serum could influence the cell cycle and stop the proliferation of H22 cells at the G(1)/G(0) phase with apoptotic peak being detected. In culture media with FZYLG-medicated sera, the expression of Bcl-2 decreased while that of Bax increased as compared with that in culture medium with non-medicated serum (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: FZYLG-medicated serum can induce apoptosis of the liver cancer cells H22 by influencing the cell cycle, down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of Bax.
