Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2007;0(01):-
[Objective] To explore part of mechanism of Qizhu Jianzhong Decoction treating gastric ulcer and spleen Yang deficiency, impersonally state the scientific connotation of the decoction. [Method] Randomly divide 60 SD rats into normal/ blank control group(Ⅰ), model group(Ⅱ), sucralfate group(Ⅲ), large-dosage group(Ⅳ), middle-dosage group(Ⅴ) and small-dosage group(Ⅵ) of Qizhu Jianzhong Decoction. Except for the group Ⅰ, others are made into rats model of spleen yang deficiency and gastric ulcer with abnormal diet, fatigue, cold and bitter purgation, and cold water stimulant. After being administered medicines, measure their IL-6 and GAS level, and observe the pathological changes of gastric mucosa under microscope. [Result] Compared with group Ⅰ, in the model group, the IL-6 rose, GAS decreased; compared with the model group, other groups of Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ all markedly decreased rats serum Ⅱ-6 level and increased GAS level, with obvious difference(P0.05). Under microscope, the gastric mucosa injury degree was less in groups Ⅲ, Ⅳ and Ⅴ than group Ⅱ; and it was similar between group Ⅵ and group Ⅱ. [Conclusion] Groups Ⅳ and Ⅴ have marked cure effect on spleen yang deficiency and gastric ulcer, and group Ⅵ has no obvious cure effect.

Objective To design a new presigmoid translabyrinthine keyhole approach assisted by Stryker neuro-navigation system according to the keyhole idea,and observe microscopic anatomy structures, which could be.regarded as the bases of this approach in clinical application.Methods Navigation data were established on 8 cadaveric heads fixed by formalin and perfused intracranial vessels with colored silicone. A 7-cm postauricular C-shaped skin incision as we reported was performed.After elevating the skin flap and musculofascial flap,a 3.5 cm?3.0 cm bone window was made.On skeletonizing the sigmoid sinus,bony lab- yrinth and the canal for facial nerve,the presigmoid retrolabyrinthine,partial labyrinthectomy with petrous api- cectomy,translabyrinthine keyhole approaches were simulated in turn.The length of important structures ex- posed and the angle of vision were measured step by step, and the anatomic structures were observed.Re- suits The approach-correlated bone could precisely be drilled with the aid of neuro-navigation,which could avoid the bewilder in drilling process.The angles of visual field,the length of clivus andⅦcranial nerve were significantly increased after partial labyrinthectomy with petrous apicectomy or all labyrinth removal,but there were no significant difference between partial and all labyrinth removal.The retrolabyrinthine keyhole approach spares hearing and facial function but provided for limited window of petroclival region exposure.The partial labyrinthectomy with petrous apicectomy keyhole approach provided wider exposure to petroclival region,cere- bellopontine angle,prepontine region and posterior cavernous sinus;an area between theⅢ-XI cranial nerves was easily visible with an excellent chance of hearing and facial nerve preservation.The translabyrin- thine keyhole approach,producing more morbidity,provided for greater versatility in treating lesions,added little exposure of petroclival region.Conclusion The presigmoid translabyrinthine keyhole approach,which could provide excellent exposure of the petroclival region,was feasible to be performed in our study.The ap- proach-correlated bone could be precisely removed assisted by neuro-navigation system.The exposure was oh- viously increased hy partial labyrinthectomy with petrous apicectomy or all labyrinthine removal,the former provided an excellent chancre of hearing and facial nerve preservation.

Background and purpose:Curcumin is the major effective component of curcuma,curcumin has been noted to be able to selectively inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in tumor cells. Interferon-?(IFN-?) is one of the most important cytokines used in clinical treatment nowadays. This study was made to investigate the inhibitory effect of interferon-?(IFN-?)and curcumin on Raji cells (B-NHL) and discuss their mechanism.Methods:The variations of morphology of Raji cells were observed in culture medium after being treated by IFN-?(500,100,2000U/L) combined with various concentrations of curcumin (6.25,12.5,25?mol/L), cells were incubated with the compounds for variable times.The inhibitory ratio was measured by MTT assay, apoptosis was quantitated by flow cytometry(FCM) and the expressions of caspase6, caspase8 and caspase9 in Raji cells were detected by Western blot.Results:both IFN-? and curcumin could significantly induce apoptosis and inhibit the proliferation of Raji cells, synergistic effects were found if cells were treated by the combination of IFN-? and curcumin. The overexpressions of caspase6, caspase8 and caspase9 in Raji cells could be observed in a time-and dose-dependent manner.Conclusions:The combination of IFN-? and curcumin could synergistically inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis, and its potential mechanism is probably associated with upregulating the expressions of caspase6, caspase8 and caspase9 in B-NHL Raji cell.

Aim To investigate the effect of selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, NS-398, on cell apoptosis in leukemia cell line K562 cells and its underlying mechanism. Methods Apoptotic cell percentage was examined by flow cytometry(FCM). The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 was detected by Western blot, and the activity of Caspase-3 was checked by FCM. Results NS-398 induced the cell apoptosis in K562 cells in a dose-dependent manner. After NS-398 treatment, the expression of Bcl-2 protein was downregulated, whereas the expression of Caspase-3 protein was upregulated. Moreover,the activity of Caspase-3 was increased in a dose-dependent way after NS-398 treatment. Conclusion Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor,NS-398,significantly induced apoptosis in K562 cells. The underlying mechanism might be related to the downregulation of Bcl-2 and the activation of Caspase-3.
