Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2022;57(3):707-715
We analyzed the anticancer effect and mechanism of the novel indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) inhibitor NLG-919 combined with temozolomide (TMZ) on human glioma cell lines. The anti-tumor activity of NLG-919 and temozolomide after single and combined treatments was detected by MTT assay. Colony formation assay, invasion assay and migration assays were used to detect the effects of NLG-919 and temozolomide alone or in combination on proliferation, invasion and migration of human glioma cells. A flow cytometry assay was used to detect cell apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential damage (JC-1). An immunofluorescence assay was used to detect the expression level of IDO1 and HPLC was used to detect the expression level of

Objective To report a newly designed method of cervical subtotal corpectomy with the posterior vertebral wall retention. Methods 89 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy(CSM) or cervical injury were treated with subtotal corpectomy with the posterior vertebral wall retention from March 2001 to March 2004. 61 males and 28 females, aged from 25 to 76 years(mean, 47 years) were included, which involved 62 cases of multiple level in CSM with or without radiculopathy, 14 fractures of cervical vertebral body with or without cervical dislocation, 13 cervical instability with or without cervical disc disease. Subtotal corpectomy with 2 mm retention in posterior wall of the vertebral body were performed, in which 23 cases' level were C4,55 C5 and 11 C6. Extensive decompression through intervertebral body space was performed and bone fusion with autogenous iliac bone graft or titanium mesh supplemented with anterior locking plates were used, the bone graft or mesh were impacted into the decompression slot between the upper to lower endplate as well as the preserved lateral and posterior wall stably. Bone fusion were assessed with roentgenogram during the 3rd, 6th, 12th month follow-up and neurological function was recorded. Results The average operation time is 100 min, ranged from 55-130 min, the blood loss were 120 ml, ranged from 30 to 300 ml. Neither plate or screw migration, nor bone graft loosening or subsidence were found in 77 patients with over 6 months follow-up. Bone fusion happened in all patients, and Frankel score improved 1.0 level averagely after operation. 3 patients with hoarseness recovered 2 weeks later. Conclusion Subtotal corpectomy with posterior wall of vertebrae retention was a feasible anterior decompression procedure with advantage of safety, completely decompression and reliable bone fusion. This method included double level of CSM, and cervical fracture as well as two level of local ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament.

Objective To report the clinical outcome of L3~L5 fractures treated with USS short segmental pedicel screw system. Methods From 1994 to 2004, 57 cases of lower lumbar fractures were treated, of which 21 cases were treated with USS pedicel screw system. There were 12 cases of L3 fracture, 8 cases of L4 fracture and 1 cases of L5 fracture. The intervertebral height and lumbar lordosis were evaluated both before and after operation, the spinal impingement of bone was evaluated on CT scan, the neurofunction was evaluated with Frankle system and the clinical outcomes were evaluated with Charles system. Results The operation time ranged from 90 min to 150 min, averaging 120 min. The bleeding volume ranged from 100 ml to 600 ml, averaging 350 ml. The Frankle scores increased from 3.7 to 4.5 after operation. The intervertebral height of the fractured vertebral body increased from preoperative 30%to 60%to postoperative 70%to 100%(averaging 87%). The lumbar lordosis angel increased from preoperative 35.2?8.3o to postoperative 38.3?10.2o. The mobilization time was 3d to 2w, and the time for resuming work was 3 to 6w. The 3 to 30 months follow ups (averaging 15m) showed that the clinical outcomes were excellent in 9 cases, good in 9 cases, fair in 2 in and poor in 1. Conclusion The advantages of treating the lower lumbar fractures with short segmental USS pedicel screw system are effective restoration of intervertebral body height, lumbar lordosis and spinal volume, prevention of long term lumbago and lumbar stenosis, as well as early mobilization and return to work.

A strain of resistance to copper and cadmium with high concentration, named NTG-01, was isolated from soils of DaYe county mineral area in HuBei province. It can resist copper of 4.5mmol/L and cadmium of 2mmol/L , so we can say that it is a important strain used to study the resistance mechanism of copper and cadmium. A series of morphological and biochemical characteristics and sequences analysis of 16S rDNA reveal that it belongs to the bacteria and is gram negative, short rod, flagella around, the size of bacteria is about 0.8?m?2.0?m , V-P result shows positive, methyl-red result displays negative, and glucose can be utilized to produce acid and gas; In addition to, we find that it has the percent 99 homologous to Enterobacteraerogenes by 16S rDNA sequences BLAST analysis, plus the results of morphological and biochemical parameters, it belongs to Enterobacteraerogenes. We can conclude that NTG-01 has higher resistance to many different heavy metals by measuring MICs values of nine heavy metals at last.
