To study the apoptotic regularity of peripheral lymphocytes in radiation compound wound healing and explore their relationship to radiation delayed wound healing, apoptosis and Bax and Bcl 2 proteins were estimated by in situ terminal labeling (TUNEL) and immunohistochemical method of alkaline phosphatase, respectively. White blood cells in radiation compound wound(RW) group decreased and reached the lowest 3 days after wound, it was still lower in RW group than in simple wound(SW) group 5 days after wound; apoptosis of peripheral lymphocytes of both groups increased, however, the lymphocyte apoptosis in RW group was higher than that in SW from beginning to end in the whole process of wound healing; the expression of Bax protein of lymphocyte increased at different times after wound, and the expression in RW group was obviously higher than that in SW group, while Bcl 2 showed an opposite tendency. It is suggested that reduction of white blood cells and increment of lymphocyte apoptosis are the major causes of radiation delayed wound healing; Bax and Bcl 2 proteins take part in the regulation of lymphocyte apoptosis in wound healing.

This study aims to observe different factors which affected the bionic enzymatic hydrolysis of icariin into baohuoside I and to optimize the reaction conditions in order to provide research foundation for building a novel bionic enzymolysis drug delivery system. To simulate the environment in vivo, 37 degrees C was set as the temperature and artificial intestinal juice and gastric juice were selected as the buffer solutions. Taking the conversion of baohuoside I as index, the effects of the kinds of enzyme, enzyme activity, substrate concentration, reaction time, pancreatin in artificial intestinal juice and surfactant on the conversion of baohuoside I were investigated. The results showed that cellulase, beta-glucosidase and snailase were all inactive in artificial gastric juice and no baohuoside I generated. Pancreatin in artificial intestinal juice couldn't significantly influence the activity of beta-glucosidase or snailase (P > 0.05), but noticeably decrease the activity of cellulase (P < 0.05). In artificial intestinal juice, the conversion of baohuoside I was highest by using beta-glucosidase, and the optimum reaction conditions were determined as follows: enzyme activity 10 U x mL(-1), substrate concentration 1 mg x mL(-1), 3 g x L(-1) rhamnolipid and reaction time 3 h. Under this condition, the conversion of baohuoside I was 99.8%.

Objective To evaluate the influence of hepatic ischemia-repeffusion injury (HIRI) induced by Pringle maneuver on the prognosis of hepatoceUular carcinoma (HCC) patients after hepatectomy. Methods The chnical data of 315 HCC patients who had been admitted to Southwest Hospital from January 2004 to December 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. The 194 patients who received Pringle maneuver during hepatectomy were in the HIRI group. The control group was composed of 121 patients without portal triad clamping. The pre- and peri-operative characteristics and the prognosis of the patients were analyzed by t test, chi-square test, Kaplan-Meier survival curve, Log-rank test and Cox regression model analysis. Results Patients in the HIRI group were significantly younger than those in control group (median age, 49 vs 59) (X2 =4. 12, P < 0.05). There were 108 patients (55.7%) with large HCC (diameter > 5 cm) in the HIRI group, while the number of patients with large HCC in the control group was 83 (68.6%), with statistical difference between the 2 groups (X2=4. 12, P <0.05). The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase on postoperative day 3 and day 7 were 255 U/L and 112 U/L, which were significantly higher than 128 U/L and 35 U/L in the control group (X2 =4.57, 5.89, P <0.05). The level of total bilirubin on postoperative day 3 was 56 U/L in the HIRI group, which was significantly higher than 39 U/L in the control group (X2=4.79, P <0.05). The disease-free survival rate and cumulative survival rate in the HIRI group were significantly lower than those in the control group (X2 = 5.93, 8. 32, P < 0. 05). Perioperative blood loss, diameter of tumor, portal triad clamping and portal vein invasion were independent factors influencing the diseasefree survival rate. Conclusions HIRI induced by Pringle maneuver significantly decreases the disease-free survival rate and cumulative survival rate of HCC patients after hepatectomy.
