Arsenic trioxide (As2O3)is the main component of traditional Chinese medicine arsenic,which was initially used in the treatment of blood system diseases.In recent years,studies have found that it also has a good effect on a variety of solid tumors,especially gastric cancer.It has been confirmed that As2O3 can inhibit proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer cells,induce apoptosis and protective autophagy,inhibite lymphatic formation and angiogenesis,affect the expression of telomere-related proteins in gastric cancer cells.

Objective To study the effect and the mechanism of baicalin on invasion and metastasis of(human) hepatocellular line BEL-7402.Methods Human hepatocellular line BEL-7402 were cultured and treated respectively with 5,10,20 mg/L baicalin for 48 h.The invasion and adhesion of the BEL-7402 cells were examined in Boyden chamber,cell migration and morphology were also observed.The expression of MMP_(2),TIMP_(2),_()integrin ?_(1,)and E-cd proteins of human hepatocellular line BEL-7402 was determined by flow cytometry.Results Baicalin inhibited invasion,adhesion and migration of hepatocellular line BEL-7402 in vitro in a dose dependent manner(P

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of RNA interference(RNAi)on WT1 gene expression in HL-60 cell line.Methods Several pairs of small interfering RNA(siRNA)for WT1 gene was designed and transfected into HL-60 cells.WT1 gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR,and WT1 protein expression was tested by Western blot.Flow cytometry was used to measure the cell apoptosis.Results The expression rates of WT1 mRNA and the expression rates of WT1 protein were(23.62%?1.28%),(23.20%?1.04%),respectively in HL-60 WT1 siRNA-transfected cells,significantly lower than those of control cells(P

Aim To examine the protective effects of allopregnanolone against seizure on different animal models.Methods　The protective effects of allopregnanolone against maximal electrical seizure (MES) and picrotoxin-induced seizure were studied in C57 mice 15 minutes after vehicle or drug intraperitoneal administration.Results　In the MES test, we found that pretreatment with the phenobarbital or allopregnanolone produced a dose-dependent protective effect against seizure. The potency (ED50 value) of phenobarbital in the MES test was 2.40 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 1.22 to 4.72 mg·kg-1. The potency (ED50 value) of allopregnanolone in the MES test was 0.086 mg·kg-1, with 95%confidence interval range from 0.037 to 0.201 mg·kg-1, which was significantly higher than that of phenobarbital (P<0.01). The combination study of half ED50 values of phenobarbital and allopregnanolone resulted in a 80% of protective effect in MES test, which was higher than 50% produced by either phenobarbital or allopregnanolone at their ED50 values respectively. This result indicated that there was a synergism between phenobarbital and allopregnanolone in their anticonvulsant activities. In the picrotoxin test, we found that pretreatment with the allopregnanolone also produced a dose-dependent protective effect against picrotoxin-induced seizure. The potency of allopregnanolone in the picrotoxin seizure test was 0.123 mg·kg-1, with 95% confidence interval range from 0.058 to 0.263 mg·kg-1.Conclusion　Allopregnanolone(ip) could protect different seizures in a dose-dependent manner,had a higher potency than phenobarbital,and had synergism with phenobarbital in the MES test.

Aim To investigate the effect of Sonic Hedgehog on normal hearts and hypoxic-ischemic myo-cardial cells. Methods A method for left anterior de-scending artery ( LAD ) ligation was employed to con-struct the myocardial infarction model, and ultrasonic cardiogram was used for identification. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were used to detect expressions of Shh, Ptch-1, Smo and Gli-1 in H9C2 cells and H2 O2-induced H9C2 cells, and that in 12 ca-ses of myocardial infarction tissues and 9 cases of nor-mal myocardium, respectively. Agonist and antagonist of Shh pathway were adminstered in the hypoxic-ische-mic myocardial H2 O2-induced H9C2 cell model, and once again expressions and strength of Shh, Ptch-1, Smo, Gli-1 were detected. Results Shh and Gli-1 were not expressed in normal hearts, but expressed in hearts with myocardial infarction;Ptch-1 and Smo were expressed in both normal hearts and hearts with myo-cardial infarction. Under the action of agonist, expres-sions of Shh and Gli-1 increased in the hypoxic-ische-mic H9C2 cell model. Similarly, Shh and Gli-1 were not expressed in normal H9C2 cells, but in H2 O2-in-duced H9C2 cells, and Ptch-1 and Smo were expressed in both normal H9C2 and in H2 O2-induced H9C2 cells. Conclusion Shh signaling pathway can be acti-vated in the condition of ischemia and oxidative stress, and then it promotes the repairing of myocardial cell damage.

Objective To explore the CT,clinical,and pathological features of eosinophilic lymphogranuloma(ELG)in head and neck region. Methods CT,clinical,and pathological data of 9 cases of ELG in head and neck region,confirmed by biopsy were retrospectively an-alyzed.Results Parotid gland was lonely involved in 3 cases,and cervical lymph nodes were lonely involved in 2 cases,and they were both involved in 4 cases.All of the patients suffered from painless nodule or mass in head and neck region with peripheral blood eosinophilia.On CT examination,nodular lesions of parotid gland were clear or slightly blurred defined with moderately or obviously homogeneous enhancement,and diffuse mass lesions in parotid gland were ill defined with involvement of surrounding tissue,and heterogenous progressive enhancement.The involved cervical lymph nodes were enlarged with clear boundaries,and moderately or obviously homogeneous enhancement.The pathological findings of ELG included the marked infiltration of eosinophilia,lymphocytic proliferation,lymphatic follicles,variable degrees of fibrosis and vascular proliferation.Conclusion ELG in head and neck region has some CT features,and diagnosis could be suggested combining with the clinical manifestations and peripheral blood eosinophilia. The final diagnosis depends on histopathological examination.
