Objective To study the effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) ,cy-clooxygenase-2 ( COX-2 ) inhibitor Piroxicam on the growth of colorectal cancer cells and to evaluate the preventive significance from COX-2 expression and apoptosis. Methods The cell growth of colorectal adenocar-cinoma cell line SW1116 was measured by MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay, and COX-2 protein expression by Immunohistochemistry and Western Blot. Apoptosis was characterized by DNA fragmentation. Results The results showed that COX-2 inhibitor Piroxicam could restrain the proliferation of SW1116, which had positively related to its concentration. Concentration higher than 1. 0mmol/L showed cytotoxic effects. The inhibition of COX-2 by Piroxicam appeared within 12 hours, but COX-2 protein level recovered within 24 hours, its expression had negatively related to the concentration of Piroxicam. Apoptosis was induced in SW1116 culture with Piroxicam higher than 0. 1mmol/L. Conclusion It can be concluded that cell inhibition effect is associated with Piroxicam-mediated cell apoptosis and inhibition of COX-2 protein expression in SW1116 cell, because the effects of Piroxicam have the concentration and time dependence, in further clinical research its dosage and time of medication should be considered in preventing or treating colorectal cancer.

Objective The activity and cyclooxygenase (COX-2) protein expression of colorectal adenoc arcinoma cell treated by deoxycholic acids (DCA) were examined in order to find out the carcinogenesis mechanism of DCA. Methods The proliferation of colorectal cancer cells (SW 1116) was detected by MTT metho d . COX-2 protein expression was measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blo t. Results DCA lower than 100 ?mol/L concentration can stimulate the growth of the adenoca rcinoma cells with effect reversible, while higher concentration shows the long -acting effect of inhibition. DCA of 10,50 and 100 ?mol/L concentration can up -regulate the expression of COX-2 in cells, while only 10 ?mol/L can maintain this effect long than 72 hours. The level of COX-2 protein treated by the late r two concentration descends after 48 hours. Conclusion DCA affects the proliferation of SW1116 in two sides. D CA concentration lower than 100 ?mol/L can promote COX-2 protein expression, w hich may be the mechanism of its carcinogenesis.

Objective To study the effect of FSH on the secretion of gastrin in the rat stomach,offering experimental evidence for reproductive endocrine hormone regulating digestive function. Methods The FSH was directly injected into the stomach of rats to observe the change of density of gastrin immunoreactive positive cells in the stomach by immunohistochemical SABC method and the gastrin level in circulating blood and gastric liquid by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group,which was injected with saline into the stomach,the density of immunoreactive positive cells was significantly increased in the stomach with FSH treatment group(P

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of indometacin on apootosis and proliferation of cervical cancer Hela cell. METH-ODS:Hela cell was cultured in vitro as study object,and cultured with 0(blank control),200,400,600,800 and 1 000 μmol/L indometacin for 24,48 and 72 h. The inhibitory rate of indometacin to the proliferation of Hela cells was detected by MTT assay. After treated with 0(blank control),400,600 and 800 μmol/L indometacin for 24 h,the change of cellular morphology was ob-served by invert microscope;cell cycle phase and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESUITS:Indometacin of 600, 800,1 000μmol/L could inhibit the proliferation of Hela cell,which was positively correlated to drug concentration and time. Com-pared with blank control,indometacin could induce that Hela cell transformed from polygonous to round in appearance,and result-ed in cell apoptosis and necrosis;the proportion of cells at G0/G1 phase increased,while the proportion of cells at S phase reduced;the apoptotic rate of cells raised. CONCLUSIONS:Indometacin could inhibit the proliferation of Hela cell,block cell cycle at G0/G1 phase and induce apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Kecuo Yingtong gel with detailed treatment regimen for ache vulgaris by phase. Methods Sixty patients with acne vulgaris of mild to the severity were randomized to receive either detail by phase group (A) or conventional group (B). Group A was treated with Kecuo Yingtong gel topically 1 to 4 times daily according to the severity of the disease. Clinical responses were recorded and photographed weekly in group A, and treatment regimens were adjusted accordingly. Group B only was treated with Kecuo Yingtong gel 2 times daily for 6 to 8 weeks. Results It was shown that cure rates were 66.7% and 36.7% in the groups A and B, respectively. There was no statistical difference between the 2 groups (P<0.05). Only few patients had stimulating symptoms, and severe adverse effects had not been observed. However, incidence of the side effects was higher in group A than group B. Conclusions Kecuo Yingtong gel has been proved to have an excellent response with detailed treatment by phase. Reasonably increasing the daily dosage could improve the cure rates. The cutaneous tolerability of the drug is generally good.

Objective To establish a rapid genotyping method of for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) based on polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-high resolution melting (HRM ) curve analysis and staphylococcal protein A (SPA ) classifica-tion .Methods 71 strains of MRSA clinically isolated were collected as test strains .Gene sequencing and HRM curve analysis were employed to conduct SPA gene typing .Results According to gene sequencing method ,SPA gene of 71 strains of MRSA was divided into four types ,namely t570 ,t030 ,t002 and t588 .The most predominant type was t570 (74 .65% ) ,followed by t030 and t002(both 7 cases) .The result of SPA gene typing by HRM analysis were basically consistent with that by gene sequencing .Con-clusion PCR-HRM analysis is expected to become a fast ,efficient genotyping for MRSA SPA gene ,providing the basis for hospital infection control .
