Objective To investigate whether emodin enhances chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells and the mechanism. Methods Normal human skin fibroblasts and pancreatic BXPC-3 cells were divided into control group, cisplatin (5 mg/L) treatment group, gemcitabine (0.5 μmol/L) treatment group, emodin (50 μmol/L)+ cisplatin (5 mg/L) co-treatment group and emodin (50 μmol/L) + gemcitabine (0.5 μmol/L) co-treatmentgroup. The cell viability was detected by MTT assay, the cell apoptosis rate by flow cytometry, the expression of the multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 ( MRP1 ), MRP2, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mRNA in different cell lines was determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.All data were analyzed using the t test. Results The cell viability and apoptosis rate of pancreatic BXPC-3 cells after treatment were 62.44% ± 3.42% and 27. 10% ± 4.24% in the cisplatin treatment group, and they were 30.53% ±0.05% and 66.33% ±9.37% in the emodin + cisplatin co-treatment group. There were significant differences in cell viability and apoptosis rate between the two groups (t = 13.20, 5. 35, P < 0.05 ). The cell viability and apoptosis rate of pancreatic BXPC-3 cells after treatment were 79.82% ±2.83% and 13.48% ± 1.65%in the gemcitabine treatment group, and they were 45.65% ± 2.46% and 62.74% ± 10. 18% in the emodin +gemcitabine co-treatment group. There were significant differences in cell viability and apoptosis rate between the two groups (t = 12.89, 8.28, P < 0. 05 ). There was no significant difference in the viability of normal human skin fibroblasts between the cisplatin treatment group and the emodin + cisplatin co-treatment group, and also between the gemcitabine treatment group and the emodin + gemcitabine co-treatment group (t = 2. 08, 0. 64, P >0.05 ). Expression of MRP1 mRNA was detected in pancreatic BXPC-3 cells, whereas the expression of MRP2,BCRP and P-gp mRNA was undetectable. The expression of MRP1 mRNA in pancreatic BXPC-3 cells was significantly down-regulated in the cisplatin treatment group, and cisplatin + emodin co-treatment had an additive effect on down-regulating the expression of MRP1 mRNA. Conclusion Emodin may enhance chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to cisplatin by down-regulating the expression of MRP1 mRNA.

BACKGROUND: Bone and exact reduction and internal fixation should be kept to fully repair the function of patella in comminuted patellar fracture operation. Currently, comminuted patellar fracture without a unified therapeutic standard has been a difficulty in clinic.OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of modified AO tension band, titanium cable cerclage and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) patellar concentrator fixation in the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture.DESIGN: Prospective comparative observation.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 60 patients with simple unilateral closed comminuted patellar fracture were enrolled at Department of Orthopaedics of Changzheng Hospital from November 2004 to November 2006, including 32 males and 28 females aged 28-59 years. Inclusive criteria contained diagnosis of having simple unilateral closed comminuted patellar fracture and injury timing of less than 7 days. The patients all signed the informed consent.METHODS: The patients were assigned into modified AO tension band group (n =22), titanium cable cerclage group (n = 21) and Ni-Ti patellar concentrator group (n =17) according to their will. Twelve patients in the modified AO tension band group received simple modified AO tension band internal fixation, and ten received modified AO tension band internal fixation and extraction. Patients in the titanium cable cerclage group received titanium cable cerclage. Ten patients in the Ni-Ti patellar concentrator group received simple Ni-Ti patellar concentrator internal fixation, and seven received internal fixation and extraction.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Postoperative host and material reaction, intraoperative blood loss, medical cost and workday loss, and ②active range of knee motion at month 3 after operation and functional recovery and curative effect at month 6 after operation.RESULTS: Totally 60 patients were involved in the result analysis. ①Host and material reaction was not found in all patients. Blood loss was significantly more in the patients of simple Ni-Ti patellar concentrator internal fixation group than patients of simple modified AO tension band internal fixation group and titanium cable cerclage group, whereas workday loss was less than that of the simple modified AO tension band internal fixation group (P < 0.05). Medical cost was obviously more in the titanium cable cerclage group than the simple Ni-Ti patellar concentrator internal fixation group and the simple modified AO tension band internal fixation group (P < 0.05). ②Active range of knee motion was the largest, about mean 108°, and long-term functional score of injured knee was the highest, about mean 21.3 points, with the excellent and good rate of 95.2%, and no sever complication appeared in the titanium cable cerclage group. These were much better than those of the other groups (P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Modified AO tension band fixation and patellar concentrator fixation in the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture have excellent effects in some patients. Titanium cable cerclage fits for the treatment of comminuted patellar fracture and has better recovery of knee joint function.

Objective To perform a nationwide external quality assessment for detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, and to improve the performance of laboratories in the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis. Methods Totally, 419 quality control samples were sent to tested laboratories, including 76 samples in 2007, 168 samples in 2008 and 175 samples in 2009. The laboratories were required to test the samples and report test results, within stipulated time, to the reference laboratory in National Center for Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Control, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The reported results were statistically analyzed by the National Center for STD Control, who finally fed back the statistical results to all of the participants. Results The percentage increased from 84.93% in 2007 to 92.14% in 2009 for laboratories showing an 80% or more consistency with the reference laboratory in the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis from quality control samples (qualified), from 47.95% in 2007 to 70% in 2009 for those showing a 100% consistency (excellent), and dereased from 5.48% in 2007 to 0.71% in 2009 for those showing a consistency of lower than 60% (unqualified). The centralabs of provincial CDC and volunteer laboratories exhibited a satisfactory performance for the detection of Chlamydia trachomatis, while the performance of a small number of national STD surveillance sites needed to be increase. Conclusion The external quality assessment reveals a continuous improvement in the capability of detecting Chlamydia trachomatis in STD laboratories at different levels in China.
