Objective To explore the risk factors and treatment of crush syndrome comlicated in earth-quake injury. Method The demographics and epidemiological characteristics, clinical treatment and the outcome of 35 cases with crush syndrome were reviewed and analyzed.The 35 patients were among 325 victims of "5·12" Wenchuan earthquake, who were admitted in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital, Chengdu. Results Of 35 pa-tients with crush syndrome, 7 cases injured at forearm, 25 cases injured at cruse, and 3 cases injured at palm,and 3 cases were complicated with acute renal failure. The time from the occurrence of injury to transporting patients into the hospital was 6~92 hours, with mean time 49.3 hours. All the 35 patients had their wound cut open for de-compression,and 6 cases were cured, 2 had dysfunction, and 27 underwent amputation. Young patients under 14 years old had higher rate (25.8%) of crush syndrome than elder patients of 14~59 years old with rate of 8.0%.And patients admitted into hospital later (over 48 hour after injury) had higher incidence of crush syndrome (31.0 %) than those admitted earlier within 48 hours after injury (3.5 %). Conchusions Attaching great impor-tance to crush syndrome after earthquake injury, early diagnosis and treatment, and timely and complete surgical decompression are key points to the successful treatment and prevention of crush syndrome complicated in earth-quake injury. Because the longer interval between injury and rescue, delayed diagnosis and treatment, and the younger age of patients are all the risk factors of crush syndrome.

Objective To observe the enhanced inhibitory effect of adenovirus (Ad)-mediated HCCS1 combined with 5-FU on the growth of LoVo cells, and to explore the molecular mechanisms.Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of HCCS1 in LoVo cells infected with Ad HCCS1. CCK-8 assay was applied to observe different inhibitory effects of different treatments on growth of LoVo cells. The apoptotic rates were detected by using flow cytometry. The apoptotic proteins were detected by using Western blot. Results ① The recombinant adenovirus, Ad HCCS1, could trigger the expression of HCCS1 in LoVo cell. ② In comparison with controls (92.23%±3.77%), the cell viability rate of LoVo was only (11.23±4.61 )% on 96 h after the combination treatment of 5-FU and Ad-HCCS1 (P<0. 01). ③ The apoptotic rate was (27.57±1.78)% on 72 h after the combination treatment, which was higher than that in 5-FU treated cells (8.64±0.94)%, Ad-HCCS1 treated cells (13.19±1.32)% and 5-FU Ad treated cells (12.16±1.28)%, (P<0. 01). ④ Cathepsin D was only detected in Ad HCCS1-infected cells. When treated with 5-FU, the procaspase-8 was decreased and the cleaved Bid was increased in cytosol. The lowest level of Bax and the highest level of cytoso C and cleaved caspase-3 were detected in cytosols of 5-FU+Ad HCCS1 treated cells. Conclusion The inhibitory and proapoptotic effects are significantly enhanced in LoVo cells when treated with Ad-HCCS1+5-FU. The key protein of the cross-talk is Bax and these data provided a new strategy to treat colorectal carcinomas.

Objective To define the correlation between mutation of DNA-LigaseⅣ gene and radiosensitivity.Methods Nasopharyngeal squamous carcinoma cell line (CNE), lung adenocarcinoma cell line (SPC-A1) and breast adenocarcinoma cell line(MCF-7) after irradiation were assessed with specific biological parameters. Polymerase chain reaction, cloning and sequencing techniques were used to determine the sequence of DNA-LigaseⅣ gene in these three cell lines. Then the impact of homologous change and mutation on hydrophicity-hydrophobicity of genic products was analyzed.Results The surviving fractions derived from irradiation were different with more radiosensitivity in the CNE cell line than in the others. In three cell lines, the homology of LigaseⅣ gene were: 99.95%,99.99%,99.98%, respectively. Some mutations including transversion and transition were detected and led to alterations in the hydrophicity-hydrophobicity function of products. Higher radiosensitivity of CNE was associated with amino-acid substitutions: 313aa His→Arg,538aa Gly→Arg,579aa Lys→Arg and 585aa Asn→Ser.Conclusion These results suggest that LigaseⅣp play an important role in the ligation of DNA double strand breaks and certain mutations bring about changes in radiosensitivity.
