OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimizing conditions in isolation of the side population in laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2. METHOD: Single-cell suspension cells were detached from the culture flask with trypsin EDTA, at a concentration of 1 x 10(6) cells/ml. (1) The trail Samples were incubated with Hoechst33342 at a concentration of 5 microg/ml, 9 microg/ml, 10 microg/ml, 11 microg/ml for 90 minutes. (2) They were incubated with Hoechst for 50, 70, 90, 110, 130 min in water bath individually. (3) The single-cell suspension were incubated Hoechst in water bath and in thermostat each. (4) The two different density of cells were harvested, which were 100% and 70%, and then di gest into single-cell suspension. Once incubation finished, suspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), then test SP% by flow cytometry. Among all groups,Verapamil hydrochloride was added to the control samples, incubated at 37 degrees C for 30 minutes, the other condition were keep the same with their trial groups. RESULT: (1) The percentage of Hoechst-negative cells in trial group was (39.96 +/- 0.24)%, (26.23 +/- 0.39)%. (18.79 +/- 0.02)%, (19.01 +/- 0.14)% at the concentration of 5 microg/ml, 9 microg/ml, 10 microg/ml, 11 microg/ml respectively, when the PI-positive cells were (30.45 +/- 0.63)%, (49.9 +/- 0.42)%, (50.12 +/- 0.68)%, (64.16 +/- 0.39)% separately. (2) Varying the duration of staining incubation showed that there was a typical FACS pattern and SP% was constant when the incubation was at least 90 min. (3) Compare to water bath, SP% was more than in thermostat, the SP% was (18.67 +/- 0.45)%, (22.6 +/- 0.50)% respectively; (4) Cell density is also responsible for SP%. The low density the cell is, the less in SP%. SPSS13.0 was used in statistical analysis, the groups were compared using t-Test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. CONCLUSION The optimum concentration and duration of incubation of Hoechst33342 in isolation of the side population cells in laryngeal carcinoma cell line Hep-2 is 10 microg/ml and 90 min. Incubated in water bath is better than in thermostat. The best staining cell density is around 80%-90%.

OBJECTIVETo observe the difference in clinical efficacy on focal vitiligo treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion in comparison with medication, and discuss its effect mechanism.

METHODSSixty-eight cases were randomized into a moxibustion group (38 cases) and a medication group (30 cases). Additionally, 20 healthy persons were selected randomly as a normal group. In the moxibustion group, the heat-sensitive moxibustion was applied to Hegu(LI 4), Quchi(LI 11), Yanglingquan(GB 34), Zusanli(ST 36), Xuehai(SP 10) and the others, once a day. In the medication group, triamcinolone acetonide cream was used externally and locally, twice a day. In the two groups, the treatment of 15 days made one session. The efficacy was observed after continuous treatment for 3 sessions. The hemorheology test was done in all of the subjects. The radioimmunoassay was adopted to determine the levels of Interleukin 2 (IL-2), Interleukin 6 (IL-6), Interleukin 10 (IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) before and after treatment.

RESULTSThe levels of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-alpha in vitiligo patients were higher significantly than those in the normal group (P<0. 01, P<0. 05), the level of IL-2 was lower significantly than that in the normal group (P<0. 01) before treatment. After 3 sessions treatment, IL-2 level was increased significantly in the moxibustion group and the levels of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-alpha were reduced, without significant differences as compared with the normal group (all P>0. 05). But the differences were significant as compared with those in the medication group (all P<0. 05). The curative and remarkably effective rate was 76. 3% (29/38) after treatment in the moxibustion group, which was higher significantly than 13. 3% (4/30, P<0. 05) in the medication group.

CONCLUSIONHeat-sensitive moxibustion achieves very good clinical efficacy on focal vitiligo, which is probably via promoting blood circulation and regulating the levels of IL-6, IL-10 and TNF-alpha.

BACKGROUND: As a combination of reverse transcription (RT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), RT-PCR has been used to detect gene expression levels in cells and tissues, RNA virus contents in cells and specific gene cloned cDNA sequences.OBJECTIVE: To detect the inhibitory effcet of Stealth siRNAs on the expression of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1).METHODS: There were blank control, empty vector transfection, stealth-48, stealth-166, and stealth-594 groups. Three stealth siRNAs aimed at different sequences in TGF-β1 mRNA were made, and were then transfected into BALB/c mouse lung fibroblasts in vitro. The expressions of TGF-β1 and connective tissue growth factor were detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In different time periods, the TGF-β1 expression was differentially depressed by three stealth siRNAs, especially stealth-166. The inhibitory effects varied with time, which could be detective at 48 hours,reached the peak at 72 hours and then began to attenuate at 96 hours. Our findings show that the inhibitory effect of stealth siRNAs on the TGF-β1 expression in mouse lung fibroblasts can be detected by RT-PCR.

BACKGROUND:Different embolic materials can be used for bronchial artery embolization in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis. Sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge are two commonly used materials; however, there are relatively few related reports about the comparative analysis on the application effect of these two materials. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of sodium alginate microspheres for bronchial artery embolization on pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis. METHODS:Totaly 157 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis, including 98 male and 59 female patients, aged 22-75 years, were enroled and subjected to bronchial artery embolization using different embolic materials: sodium alginate microspheres group (n=74) and gelatin sponge group (n=83). During the 12 months of folow-up, the clinical curative effect, recurrence and complications condition of these two groups were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total effective rates of sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge groups were respectively 91.19% and 81.93%, and there was a significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). The recurrence rates of sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge groups were respectively 6.8% and 26.5%, and there was a significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). Additionaly, there was no significant difference in the complications between groups (P > 0.05). These results demonstrate that sodium alginate microspheres for bronchial artery embolization has a better result in the clinical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis with a high clinicaly effective rate and low recurrence rate.
