2.Biological characteristics of IL-24 and mechanisms of its anti-tumor action
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(9):657-661
Studies have shown that IL-24 is the only cytokine capable of inhibiting tumor growth and neovascularization as well as stimulating immune system. IL-24 exerts its inhibition effects through pathways independent of p53, Rb, p16 and other tumor suppressor genes and has no effect on normal cells. IL-24 has emerged as a hot topic in cancer therapy research.

Objective To review the preliminary experience of primary laparoscopic pull-through for Hirschsprung's Disease in children.Methods Since May 2000,25 patients with Hischsprung's disease underwent Laparoscopic Pull-Through. The oldest age was 6 years old and the youngest was 20 days. All patients underwent anesthesia and tracheal intuition, carbon dioxide was insufflated into abdominal cavity via a Veers needle, reaching a insulation pressure of 1.33~1.86 kPa (10~14 mmHg). One umbilical camera port one-instrument port at left abdomen and one instrument port at right abdomen were made.Results The mean operative time was 165-min. Oral feeding was started 3 days postoperatively. The average hospitalization was 9 days (7~10 days).No complication was encountered.Conclusions Primary laparoscopic Pull-Through for Hirschsprung's Disease in children is safe and feasible.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound. It possesses a variety of biological properties including neuroprotective effects, cardiovascular protection, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects. In recent years, the anti-tumor effects of resveratrol have attracted a lot of attention. Its anti-tumor effects may be mediated by inhibiting tumor initiation, inhibiting tumor cell proliferation, promoting tumor cell apoptosis and inhibiting tumor cell invasion.

Vacuum pyrolysis of phenolic resin laminate substrate in temperature-programmed furnace reactor was studied.The sample and product oils were characterized by elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).Analytical results showed that the up per clear liquid of pyrolysis oils was mainly consisted of water-soluble substances, such as phenol, cresol, xy lenol, sugars, hydantoins, morpholines, pyranones and pyridine derivatives compounds, etc., while the lower sediment was mainly insoluble or hardly water-soluble substances, such as the big substituent phenolics (the number of substituent carbon atoms of which is greater than or equal to 2), aryl phosphate esters, fatty acid esters and nitrile compounds, and so on.Both of the upper clear liquid and lower sediment have a higher content of melamines.

Objective To report clinical features,diagnosis and treatment in a case of adult onset Still's disease (AOSD) accompanied by demyelinating encephalopathy.Methods We reported a case of Stills disease with signs of encephalopathy.We also reviewed and discussed the literature on the neurological manifestations in AOSD.Results The 35-year-old patient had recurrent fever and arthralgias for 3 years,headache for 1 month and transient loss of consciousness.Laboratory tests showed non-specific immunological activity.MRI showed tumor-like lesions at left parietal and occipital lobes surrounded by sleeve-like edema.The lesion had significant occupation effect.Biopsy proved the presence of demyelinating changes.The patient recovered favorably after administration of corticosteroids and immunoglobulin.The lesions had almost disappeared on follow-up MRI 4 months later.Conclusions Demyelinating encephalopathy may develop in patient with AOSD.MRI may show tumor-like damage,which is rarely reported in the literature.Diagnosis depends on history,clinical manifestation and neuroimaging.Biopsy provides important information in making diagnosis.Treatment with corticosteroids and intravenous immunoglobulin was found to achieve good recovery.

Objective To evaluate the effect of early aerosol inhalation on sore throat of the patients after double lumen endobronchial intubation. Methods 90 patients scheduled for thoracic surgery were randomly assigned to 3 groups,30 cases in each group: control group (Group C), early aerosol inhalation group (group one) and later aerosol inhalation group (group two). All patients were sent to PACU after extubation.The patients in group C were intraveously injected with 6 mL saline , those in group one were treated with aerosol inhalation of 1mg budesonide, while the patients in group two with budesonide at the same dosage 2 h later. Patients were examined with indirect laryngoscopy 6 h after surgery. The cases of vocal cord congestion and glottis edema were recorded. The degree of pharyngolaryneal pain was assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) when they were sent to PACU , 6 , 24 and 48 hours after surgery . Results The rates of vocal cord congestion and glottis edema in group one were lower than those in group C and group 2, 6 h after surgery (P < 0.05). The pharyngolaryneal VAS in group one was significantly lower than that in group C and group 2 , 6 and 24 h after operation (P < 0.05), but there was no statistical difference between them 48 h after surgery between 3 groups. Conclusions Aerosol inhalation of budesonide after double lumen endobronchial intubation for the patients scheduled for thoracic surgery during early postoperative stage can reduce the incidences of vocal cord congestion and glottis edema, inhibit airway inflammation, significantly reduce the extent of the POST. The effect is better than that of the lateraerosol inhalation of budesonide.

Background and purpose: AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in the regulation of cell metabolism and energy balance and is associated with cell proliferation, survival and multiple signaling pathways. Recent reports found that AMPK is involved in tumor suppression and drug resistance. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of AMPK on the anti-tumor effect of adriamycin and underlying mechanism in breast cancer MCF-7/adr cells. Methods:The anti-proliferative effects of adriamycin was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay in MCF-7/adr, MCF-7/adr-vector and MCF-7/adr-AMPKαcells. The cell morphology in each group was stained with the lfuorescent dye Hoechst 33528, and the effects on apoptosis induction were examined by lfow cytometry (FCM). The intracellular concentration of adriamycin was detected by lfuorescence assay. The resis-tance-and apoptosis-related proteins were analyzed by Western blot. Results:The growth of breast cancer MCF-7/adr cells was inhibited by adriamycin in a dose-and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values at 24 and 48 h were (36.8±2.1) and (28.8±1.3) μg/mL, respectively. AMPKαover-expression enhanced the cytotoxic effect of adriamycin in MCF-7/adr-AMPKαcells in a dose-and time-dependent manner. Its IC50 values at 24 and 48 h were (16.0±0.7) and (4.2±0.2) μg/mL, respectively. Fluorescent morphological assay showed that AMPKαoverexpression contributed to adriamycin induced apoptosis in MCF-7/adr-AMPKαcells. After treatment with 1.0 μg/mL adriamycin for 48 h, the apoptosis rates of MCF-7/adr, MCF-7/adr-vector and MCF-7/adr-AMPKα cells were (12.0±1.4)%, (12.7±1.6)% and (32.0±4.2)%, respectively, indicating that overexpression of AMPKα enhanced the adriamycin-induced apoptosis in MCF-7/adr cells. Fluorescence microplate assay showed that over expression of AMPKαsigniifcantly increased the intracellular accumulation of adriamycin, in a concentration dependent manner. Western blot analysis showed that, compared with MCF-7/adr and MCF-7/adr-vector cells, the expressions of Bax, caspase-3 and cleaved PARP proteins were increased. Meanwhile, Bcl-2 and P-gp protein expressions were decreased in MCF-7/adr-AMPKαcells. Furthermore, the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria into the cytosol was also observed in MCF-7/adr-AMPKαcells. Conclusion:AMP-Kαoverexpression can enhance the chemosensitivity of breast cancer MCF-7/adr cells to adriamycin through inhibiting the drug effux transporter and regulating the expression of apoptosis-related proteins.
