Journal of Integrative Medicine 2004;2(1):49-52
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.

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.

The effect of cigarette smoke extract (CSE) on the proliferation of human airway epithelial cells and the possible mechanism was studied. After airway epithelial cells were treated with different concentrations of CSE for 24 h, the cell proliferation was measured by MTT and the distribution of different cell cycles by flow cytometry. The FAK expression level was detected by Western blot and the degree of tyrosine phosphorylation by immunoprecipitation. The results showed that CSE could inhibit the proliferation of human airway epithelial cells, arrest the epithelial cells in G1 phase of cell cycle, dramatically decrease the number of epithelial cells in S and G2 phases; Meanwhile CSE could decrease the expression level of FAK and the degree of its tyrosine phosphorylation. The above effects of CSE were concentration-dependent. The expression of FAK and the degree of its phosphorylation was positively correlated to the increased number of epithelial cells in G1 phase, and negatively to the number of epithelial cells in S and G2 phases. It was concluded that the mechanism by which CSE could inhibit the proliferation of human epithelial cells was contributed to the increased expression and activation of FAK.

To rapidly identify the compound Yiganling tablets from different manufacturers by near-infrared fibre-opti-cal spectroscopy and detect the content of silymarin. Methods:The ninety-three batches of compound Yiganling tablets from six manu-facturers were used as the analysis objects. Clustering analysis model of compound Yiganling tablets was established. The spectra were pretreated with the second derivative and vector normalization;the number of smoothing point was thirteen; the wavelength range was 9 000-4 100 cm-1;the distance between the spectra was Euclidean distance, the distance between the spectra and the class was the sum of square of the variance(Ward’s method). The quantitative model was established using the same samples. The spectra were pretreated with the first Derivative and vector normalization;the number of smoothing point was seventeen;the wavelength ranges were 9 100-7 300 cm-1 and 7 100-4 100 cm-1;the regression method was partial least squares ( PLS) algorithm. Results:The clustering model could identify the samples of training set, and validate the thirty spectra of test set accurately. For the quantitative model of the content of silymarin, the root mean square error of cross validation (RMSECV) was 0. 082 8 and the determination coefficient R2 was 97. 98%. The root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 0. 044 1 and the correlation coefficient R2 was 98. 95%. Conclu-sion:The clustering analysis and the quantitative model are rapid and simple, accurate and reliable, and can be applied in fast drug a-nalysis.

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.

Objective To study the effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) on the expression of integrins ? 4? 1 during implantation window in endometrium. Methods Endometrium integrin ? 4? 1 expression was detected by immunohistochemistry method in the mid secretory phase of 48 normal natural cycles. CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG cycles in 30 polycystic ovary syndrom (PCOS) patients and 48 normal women. Results The expression of endometrial integrin ? 4? 1 was stronger in the natural cycls than those of ovulation induction cycles with CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG. So was the pregnancy cycles as compared with the non pregnant cycles. Conclusion The endometrial receptivity in the min luteal phase and pregnant rate declined during ovulation induction by CC+hCG or CC+hMG+hCG in either normal women or PCOS patients.

The highest concentration of 1, 2-dichloroethane was 27.79 ?g/L, which was close to the limit of surface water. It should be noticed that the detected concentrations of chlorobenzene in water source of district 3 and water source of district 4 were a little higher. Compared with the others, in water source of district 1, water source of district 9 and water source district of 14 a higher concentration of toluene and xylene were detected and the concentration of benzene in water source of district 1, water source of district 2, water source of district 3 and water source district 4 was higher.
