OBJECTIVE: To study the effect of Qi-replenishing and Yin-nourishing in inhibiting tumor metastasis. METHODS: Fifty mice were randomly divided into replenishing Qi group, replenishing Yin group, replenishing Qi and Yin group, chemotherapy group and control group. Models of Lewis lung cancer and B(16) melanoma were observed in vivo. The tumor weight inhibiting rate, metastatic lung tumor, concentrations of t-PA and TXB(2) in tumor tissue and IL-2 and TNF-alpha in spleen were observed. RESULTS: The tumor weight inhibiting rates of replenishing Qi and Yin group for Lewis lung cancer and B16 melanoma were both 42.9%. Replenishing Qi and Yin could decrease the contents of TXB(2) and 6-keto-PGF(1alpha), and increase the levels of IL-2 and TNF-alpha. CONCLUSION: Replenishing Qi and Yin can promote the healthy energy to inhibiting tumor metastasis.

Objective To investigate the effect of different dose dexmedetomidine on reducing agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in patients underwent repair of indirect inguinal hernia.Methods 105 cases of ASA Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ received operation with inhalation of 3％ sevoflurane to induce anesthesia,and then randomly divided into three groups,35 cases in each group.The control group injected with 0.9％ sodium chloride,observation 1 group injected dexmedetomidine 0.15μg/kg,observation 2 group injected dexmedetomidine 0.30μ g/kg.Then placed oropharynx airway ventilation,caudal block.Anesthesia was maintained with 1.2％ sevoflurane,maintain its independent ventilation.Hemodynamic and respiratory changes of the children were recorded.Time to eye opening(TEO) at the end of anesthesia was also recorded.Results Three groups of children had similar operation process.TEO of the control group was (8.45 ± 4.02) min,observation 1 group was (9.23 ± 5.03) min,observation 2 group was (10.81 ± 4.06) min (t =1.23,1.64,all P ＞ 0.05).The incidence rate of agitation of the control group was 42.8％,that in the observation 1 group and observation 2 group was 20％,8.6％.Observation 1 group was significantly lower than that of control group (x2 =3.72,P ＜ 0.05),observation 2 group was significantly lower than that of control group and observation 1 group (x2 =5.14,4.27,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The dose of dexmedetomidine 0.3 μg/kg administered after induction of anesthesia could reduce the postsevoflurane agitation in children and have no adverse effects.

The present study used the experimental patterns of Go/No Go and no motion contingent negative variation (CNV) task into the research in order to study whether the CNV can express the implication of expectation. Through comparing the CNV under different conditions, the data collected from experiment showed that the key to evoked CNV was close to the warning signal and command signal. Whether the command signal was related to the task would impact on the amplitude of the CNV. This characteristics responses to the subjects' expectation. On this basis, CNV can be used as the electrophysiological index for the reflection of expected value in the conditions of this experiment.

Interleukin 24(IL 24),also called the melanoma differentiation associated gene 7(MDA 7),is stably expressed in human tissues associated with the immune system such as the spleen,thymus,peripheral blood leukocytes and normal melanocytes. IL 24 binds to IL 20 and IL 22 receptor complexes(IL 22R1/IL 20R2 and IL 20R1/IL 20R2),and induces secretion of high levels of IL 6,TNF alpha,and IFN gamma and low levels of IL 1beta,IL 12,and GM CSF from human PBMC. Adenoviral IL 24(Ad IL 24) induces growth suppression and apoptosis selectively in diverse human cancers and tumor cell lines without producing any apparent harmful effect in normal cells. The effects of Ad IL 24 are associated to the ratio of pro apoptotic(BAX,BAK) to anti apoptotic(Bcl 2) proteins,and the up regulation of p38 MAPK and a family of growth arrest and DNA damage(GADD) inducible genes. These demonstrate the potential therapeutic effects of Ad IL 24 in human cancer.

AIM: To investigate the amiloride-sensitive Na~+ channel current (Iamil) in primary cultured human bronchial epithelium cells of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and the influence of interleukin 4 and interleukin 6. METHODS: Human bronchial epithelium cells were isolated and cultured from 18 patients undergone pueumonectomy in hospital. Interleukin 4 or interleukin 6 at concentration of 10 ?g/L was used to treat these cultured cells, and Iamil was measured by whole cell patch clamp techniques. RESULTS: There was no markedly difference among normal no-smoking group, normal smoking group and COPD group. Interleukin 4 down-regulated the Iamil in normal no-smoking group, normal smoking group and COPD group. The down-regulated percentages were 59.7%, 54.7% and 30.0%. Interleukin 4 down-regulated the Iamil in normal no-smoking group (44.8%) and normal smoking group (34.9%) but not in COPD group, and the current forms were not changed after IL-4 or IL-6 treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Interleukin 4 and interleukin 6 down-regulated the Iamil in primary cultured human bronchial epithelium cells. It may contribute to the hypersecretion of COPD, and the up-regulated interleukin 4 and interleukin 6 in COPD patients may cause them react weaker to the treatment of interleukin 4 and interleukin 6.

AIM: To study the effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on adhesion and migration of human airway epithelial cells and it's mechanism. METHODS: After 24 h culture, the airway epithelial cells were treated with different concentrations of CSE. The rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration were measured. The expression of FIP200 mRNA and protein were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: CSE inhibited the rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration. Meanwhile CSE increased the expression level of FIP200 mRNA and FIP200 protein. The effects of CSE became more evident with increased concentration of CSE. Expression of FIP200 mRNA and FIP200 protein were positively correlated to the decreased rate of cell attachment and the velocity of cell migration. CONCLUSION: CSE inhibits the rate of cell attachment, the velocity of cell migration and increases the expression of FIP200.

AIM: To study the role of adrenomedullin(AM) in the pathogenesis of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. METHODS: Rats were exposed to chronic hypoxia for 14 days. After the measurement of the right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), the rats were executed. The weight of the right ventricle (RV), the left ventricle(LV) and the ventricular septum(SP) were determined. The ration RV/(LV+SP) was used to express the thickness of RV. In situ hybridization was used for the detection of the expression of AM mRNA in the lung and RV. RESULTS: The RVSP in the hypoxic group was (63.63?3.42) mmHg,which was significantly higher than that in control group [(34.13?3.40) mmHg]. The RV/(LV+SP) in hypoxic group was 0.439?0.039,which was increased obviously when compared with that of control (0.230?0.025). The level of AM mRNA expressed in the RV in the hypoxia group was significantly higher than that in the control group. CONCLUSION: The expression of AM mRNA in RV increased in the hypoxic condition, which suggests that AM may attenuate the inappropriate increase in pulmonary artery pressure.
