Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a common clinical disease causing vision loss. Risk factors such as diabetes, atherosclerosis are closely associated with RVO. Xuesaitong injection is used extensively in clinical treatment of RVO, however the mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of Xuesaitong injection on RVO rat model. Using a compound-target network of Xuesaitong on anti-RVO constructed by literature mining, we aim to elucidate the multi-compound, multi-target effect of Xuesaitong injection. Fifteen potential targets of Xuesaitong injection associated with inflammation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and coagulation were identified in this study. VEGF, IL-1beta and IL-6, three important targets in the compound-target network were further experimentally validated. This study provided experimental evidence for Xuesaitong injection being effective in treating RVO and a network view on its anti-RVO mode of action through a multi-compound and multiple-target mechanism.

TCM terminologies are the professional medical terms, marked by in Chinese features of simplification and cogency, as well as rich connotations, and thus conciseness should be one of the main principles when it comes to their translation. The concise translation and its application were discussed in this paper through semantic and logic analysis on TCM terms and starting with the English word-building.

Objective To investigate the effects of microRNA-17-92 on radiosensitivity of human mantle cell lymphoma cells. Methods Tetracycline-regulated pRevTet-On expression system was established to generate cell line Z138c-miR-17-92 with over-expressed miR-17-92 and cell line Z138c-TMP2. Cell proliferation was measured by 3 H-TdR incorporation and viable cell counting stained with typan blue. Cell cycle distribution was analysed by flow cytometry(FCM). Results More viable and proliferous cells were counted in group miR-17-92,when exposure dose was greater than 2 Gy and incubation time was longer than 48 h under the same condition (t = -3. 12 and -3.28,P <0. 05). The percentage of G2/M cells in group TMP2 was increased while no obvious cell cycle arrests were found in group miR-17-92 at 2 and 4 Gy (t = 2. 885, P < 0.05 ). When cells were incubated for 96 h, higher percentage of propidium iodide (PI) positively stained cells were found in group TMP2 (24. 02% vs. 36. 16% )compared with group miR-17-92 (6.49% vs. 11.39% ) at 2 and 4 Gy, respectively( t = - 17.59, - 4. 972, P < 0.05 ).Conclusions Overexpression of microRNA-17-92 decreased the radiosensitivity of human mantle cell lymphoma cells by inhibition of cell cycle changes and cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors and the clinical outcome of locally recurrent rectal cancer after radical resection. Methods From April 2000 to April 2004, 105 patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer after radical resection were re-treated in Tianjin cancer hospital. Thirty-four patients were re-treated with surgery combined with adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (group 1), 35 with surgery alone (group 2), and 36 with chemoradiotherapy (group 3). The impact of 17 clinicopathological factors and treatment modalities on the survival was analyzed. Results The follow-up rate was 95. 2%. The median survival time was 23 months. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates of patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer were 63% ,34% and 19%, respectively. The 1-, 3-and 5-year survival rates were 79%, 55% and 32% in group 1 ; 68%, 40% and 14% in group 2; and 64%, 36% and 11% in group 3; respectively (χ~2 =7. 96,P =0. 019). The univariate analysis showed that the degree of differentiation, depth of tumor invasion, number of metastatic lymph nodes, initial TNM stage, recurrent location, time to recurrence, and surgery combined with adjuvant therapy were significant prognostic factors, with the last 4 being the independent prognostic factors. Conclusions Surgery combined with chemoradiotherapy may improve the survival of patients with locally recurrent rectal cancer.
