Chinese Journal of Digestion 2008;28(5):314-317
Objective To investigate the effects of gemcitabine,a cytotoxic drug,combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treatment of human pancreatic cancer xenograft in nude mice.Methods The animal model of human pancreatic cancer was developed by suturing small pieces of SW1990 tumors into the dorsum of nude mice.Sixty animal models were randomly divided into five groups with 12 each:control group ( without any treatment ), photosensitizer group ( 2 mg/kg of Photosan, without illumination ),chemotherapy group (receiving 50 mg/kg of gemcitabine i.p. on day 0,3,6 and 9 after transplantation),photodynamic group (2 mg/kg photosan combined with laser irradiation) and combination group (50 mg/kg of gemcitabine and 2 mg/kg of photosan combined with laser irradiation). The tumor sizes were measured twice every week.All mice were sacrificed after 21 days.The tumor volume was calculated,and inhibitory effect and changes before and after treatment were analyzed.Results The tumor was grown bigger in control,photosensitizer and chemotherapy groups (all P value <0.05).On day 6,9,12,15,18and 21, the tumor size was significantly smaller in photodynamic group than those in control and photosensitize groups.While the tumor size on day 18 and 21 was smaller in combined group than those in photodynamic group(all P value <0.05). The tumor mass was (0.29 ± 0.20) g in combined group,which was lower than that in photodynamic,control,photosensitize and chemotherapy groups[(0.69±0.23) g,(1.65±0.21) g,(1.62±0.12) g,(1.37±0.19) g,respectively,P<0.05].The inhibitory effect were 82.420%00 and 58.18% in combined group and photodynamic group,respectively(P<0.05),while there was 1.80% and 17.00% in photosensitize and chemotherapy groups,respectively.Conclusions Photodynamic therapy has significant and short anti-tumor effect,but it can be significantly enhanced by combined with small dose of gemcitabine.

Objective To observe the differences in the therapeutic efficacies of macrolides,minocycline,and tosufloxacin against macrolide-resistant Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MRMP).Methods A total of 188 children with M.pneumoniae pneumonia confirmed by culture and PCR were analyzed.Of these,150 patients had a strain with an MR gene and 134 had one with an A-to-G mutation at position 2063 of M.pneumoniae 23S rRNA domain V.Azithromycin(n=27),clarithromycin(n=23),tosufloxacin(n=62),or minocycline(n=38)was used for definitive treatment of patients with MR M.pneumoniae.Among the 188 patients,the other 38 patients with macrolide-sensitive Mycoplasma pneumonia (MSMP)were grouped into azithromycin(n =16)and clarithromycin groups(n =22)for observing whether there is differences with respect to efficacy under parallel treatment between patients with MRMP and MSMP. Results Defervescence within 48 h after the initiation of antibiotic therapy was observed in 41%of the patients in the azithromycin group,48% of those in the clarithromycin group,69% of those in the tosufloxacin group,and 87% of those in the minocycline group.The average number of days of fever after the administration of antibiotic treatment was lower in the minocycline and tosufloxacin groups than in the macrolide groups(azithromycin and clarithromycin groups).The decrease in the M.pneumoniae burden,as estimated by the number of DNA copies,after 48 to 96 h of treatment was more rapid in patients receiving minocycline(P=0.016)than in those receiving tosufloxacin(P=0.049),azithromycin(P=0.273),or clarithromycin(P=0.107).Conclusion We found that the clinical and bacteriological efficacies of macrolides against MR M.pneumoniae pneumonia was low.Our results indicated that minocycline rather than tosufloxacin can be considered the first-choice drug for the treatment of M.pneumoniae pneumonia in children aged >8 years.

Objective To investigate the influence of c-myc on the growth, proliferation, apoptosis,invasion and cell cycle of the gastric line HFE145. Methods The cDNA of c-myc was subcloned into a constitutive vector pcDNA3.1 followed by transfection in HFE145 by using liposome. Then stable expression clones (HFE-myc) were selected. The apoptosis and cell cycles were detected using flow cytometry. The growth and proliferation were analyzed by making cell growth curves and colony formation assay respectively. The ability of invasion were tested using cell migration assay. Results HFE-myc group grew faster than HFE145and HFE-pc. The cell counts of HFE-myc in five of seven days were more than those of others significantly (P<0.05). There was no difference between the two control group. Cell cycle analysis showed that HFE-myc group proliferated faster, mean proportion of cells in G2-M was about 25 % and higher significantly (P <0.05)than those of the two control groups. Results of colony formation assay showed that the mean colony formation rate of HFE-myc was 0.27 and higher than those of the control groups(P <0.05). The results of cell migration assay suggested that the cell migration rate of HFE-myc was not higher significantly than those of the control groups (P >0.05). Conclusion c-myc can promote the growth, proliferation. It can increase the proportion of cells in division stage, so promote the division. But it have little influence on the invasion of cells.
