Objective By observing the effectiveness of epidermal growth factor(EGF)combined with 5-flauouracil(5-FU)in the treatment of human colorectal cancer,to explore the anti-tumor effects of EGF.Methods MTT assay was used to evaluate the effects of EGF and 5-FU alone or combined use on the growth of tumor cells.The effects of EGF on PCNA expression were detected by Western blot,and flow cytometry was done to measure the changes in cell cycle.Results EGF could induce proliferation of tumor cells.With the increase in concentration of EGF,the number of cells in G0 phase was significantly reduced,and the expression of PCNA obviously increased.There was significant difference between 100 or 1 000 ng/mL EGF groups and control group(P<0.05).The combined use of EGF and 5-FU could more significantly inhibited the growth of tumor cells than 5-FU alone(P<0.05).Conclusion EGF can enhance the sensitivity of colorectal cancer cell Caco-2 to 5-FU,which might be related to the induction of proliferation of quiescent colorectal cancer cells.

AIM: To study the efficacy and adverse reactions of carnitine on patients with acute cerebral infarction. METHODS: One hundred and thirty-five patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed by CT or MRI were randomly divided into 2 groups, on the basis of conventional therapy. Sixty-eight patients in carnitine group (M37,F31; age 60 a± s 17 a) received carnitine 2-3g, iv, drip, qd for 28 d. The other 67 patients of control group (M39, F28; age 63 a±17 a) received compound salvia miltirrhiza 20 mL in dextran-40 glucose injection 500 mL, iv, drip, qd for 28 d. RESULTS: The total effective rates of carnitine group and control group for acute cerebral infarction were 80% and 55%, respectively (P<0.05). No adverse reactions were found. CONCLUSION: Carnitine is safe and effective in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction.

Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;(8):840-842
Objective The K-ras gene plays a major role in the development , progression, and drug selection for the target treatment of colorectal cancer .The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of detecting K-ras mutation in colorectal cancer by high-resolution melting ( HRM) analysis and to investigate the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parame-ters of colorectal cancer. Methods We collected the tissue samples of colorectal cancer from 179 patients, detected the mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene, and analyzed the relationship between K-ras mutation and the clinicopathological parameters of the patients. Results In the 179 cases of colorectal cancer, K-ras mutation was found in 77 (43.02%), significantly higher in those aged ≥60 years than in those aged <60 years (55.17% vs 33.70%, P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant influence of age on K-ras mutation (OR=1.506, 95%CI:1.028-2.011, P<0.05). Conclusion HRM analysis is a rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive diagnostic tool for the detection of K-ras mutation, and K-ras mutation is associated with the age of colorectal cancer patients .

Objective:To construct the expression vectors of VH and VL from an anti -CD71 monoclonal antibody (line7579) , and express an anti-CD71 mouse/human chimeric antibody (D2C) in vitro.Methods:The variable regions of heavy and light chains from an anti -CD71 monoclonal antibody (line7579) cloned in the pGEM-T vectors were constructed respectively into the expression vectors,p?-Expr(including human IgG1 constant region) and p?-Expr(including human Ig? constant region).The expression plasmid vectors (Chi7579-p?-Expr and Chi7579- p?-Expr) ,confirmed by a clone-PCR and a further sequence analysis, were co-transfected by electroporation into the non-Ig-producing murine hybridomas SP2/0.Results:Screening for transfectomas secreting chimeric antibody was done by cross sandwich ELISA, which identified the transfectomas to secrete a chimeric antibody (D2C) with the human heavy constant region(C?) and light constant region(C?). FCM analysis of culture supernatants of the transfectomas demonstrated that the binding capacity of the chimeric Ab (D2C) to the antigen (CD71) was retained.Conclusion:The construction of the V H and V L expression vectors and the expression of an anti-CD71 mouse/human chimeric antibody (D2C) were accomplished successfully.

BACKGROUND:Studies suggested that blood loss was great during total knee arthroplasty, even blood transfusion was needed. Application of the tourniquet wil destroy the coagulation system, and is not conducive to hemostasis after replacement. Recently, tranexamic acid has been extensively used to reduce blood loss during total knee arthroplasty, because of low price, simple administration pathway, and effective effects on hemostasis. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the application and safety of tranexamic acid in total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed and Chinese Journal Ful Text Database for articles from inception to October 2015. The key words were tranexamic acid, total knee arthroplasty, hemorrhage. More than 200 articles were retrieved, and finaly 50 articles met the inclusion criteria. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Tranexamic acid is a fibrinolytic inhibitor, can reversibly block the binding of plasminogen to fibrin, effectively inhibit fibrinolysis, and reduce hemorrhage after total knee arthroplasty. Nevertheless, there were significant differences in the use, dose and effect of tranexamic acid on hemostasis among different studies. Tranexamic acid was an effective drug for hemostasis during total knee arthroplasty. During total knee arthroplasty, tranexamic acid had been used to reduce dominant blood loss and hidden blood loss after arthroplasty, and could not increase the risk for venous thrombosis of lower limb. Currently, the timing of use, dosage, route of administration, and possible complications of tranexamic acid remain controversial.

Objective To examine the effects of formaldehyde on the process of sperm development and reproductive capacity in male mice and the micronucleus rate of liver cells from offspring.Methods The mice were randomly divided into negative control group(NC),formaldehyde exposed group and positive control group (PC).The exposed dose was 21 mg?m-3 (1/24 LC50),42 mg?m-3 (1/12 LC50) and 84 mg?m-3 (1/6 LC50),respectively. 12 male mice were included in each group.Male mice from different formaldehyde exposed groups were inhaled with formaldehyde for 2 h one day,6 d each week,lasted for 13 weeks.The aberration rate of sperm in male mice and the micronucleus rate of liver cells from offspring were observed,and the reproductive capacity of male mice was detected by dominant lethal test.Results The aberration rates of sperm in mice from different formaldehyde exposed groups were significantly higher than that in negative control (P

Objective To observe the clinical effect of eye drops of 0.1%olopatadine hydrochloride(patanol) and 0.05%FKS06 (tacrolimus) for treating severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis in children.Design Prospective case siries.Participants 62 cases(104 eyes) of severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis aged 3-14 years old.Methods We observed the symptoms and signs of severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis before and after the treatment of 0.1%olopatadine hydrochloride and 0.05%FKS06.We examined regularly the blood,liver and kidney functions for all patients during treatment.Main Outcome Measures Symptoms and signs.Results Following by 3- 34months,all patients were much better in different degree at 1 week than that before.The papillae were decreased and almost disappeared gradually at 1 month.The corneal lesions were cured rapidly in less than 2 weeks.2 cases(3.2%) complained a little disconfort just at the beginning.38 cases(61.3%) recurred from 2 weeks to 8 months after stopping the eye drops,and were controlled rapidly after reusing the eye drops.The blood routine and the biochemical functions of all patients were normal during treatment.Conclusions 0.1% olopatadine hydrochloride and 0.05%FKS06 have remarkable effects for alleviating symptoms and signs of severe vernal keratoconjunctivitis. The patients are comfortable and content with the treatment,and side effects are very few.
