Objective To investgate the inhibitory effect of Phyllanthus Urinaria L compound on proliferation of hepatoma cell HePG2 in vitro and to explore its mechanism.Methods The influence of different concentrations of Phyllanthus Urinaria L compound at different time on HePG2 proliferation was compared by MTT colorimetric assay and cell growth curve assay.The cell apoptotic rate and morphological changes of HePG2 were observed by flow cytometry,fluorescence microscope and electron microscope.Results Phyllanthus Urinaria L compound can inhibit the proliferation of human hepatoma cell line HePG2.Within a certain limit of concentrations,the higher the concentration and the longer the acting time,the stronger the inhibition.Co-cultured with 500 ? g/mL Phyllanthus Urinaria L compound for 72 h,the inhibitory rate reached 93.58 % and IC50 was 240 ? g/mL.Phyllanthus Urinaria L compound at different concentrations had an certain effect on inducing cell apoptosis.Conclusion Phyllanthus Urinaria L compound can inhibit the proliferation of hepatoma cell,and its mechanism may be related with the induction of hepatoma cell HePG2 apoptosis.

【Objective】To establish a HBV-marker-producing nude mice model of human transplanted liver cancer(HTLC).【Methods】2.2.15 cells,a HePG2 cell line transfected with HBV genome,were injected subcutaneously into athymic BALB/c-nu mice aged 4～6 weeks.The growth of tumor was observed every week.After 36 days the nude mice were executed and HBV markers of HBsAg,HBeAg,and HBV-DNA as well as alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)in serum were detected.The pathological features of tumor tissues were examined under light microscope.【Results】The incidence of HTLC and the time of HTLC appearing were correlated with the number of transplanted 2.2.15 cells.Serum HBsAg,HBeAg,and HBV-DNA were positive in the HTLC transplanted mice,the serum content of AFP was(350?11.5) ?g/L,and pathological changes under light microscope were similar to human,indicating that the model has some similar histological characteristics of the human liver cancer infected by HBV.【Conclusion】The nude mice model of human transplanted liver cancer,which can produce HBV markers,is established successfully in this study.

Objective To investigate the CT appearances of atypical renal angiomyolipoma to raise the CT diagnosing level and search for the differential points from renal angiomyolipoma. Methods Twenty-one patients with atypical renal angiomyolipoma and 24 patients with renal carcinoma underwent CT scan and enhanced scanning. Results CT results showed hyperintense in 12 of all 21 lesions of atypical renal angiomyolipoma,with iso-intensity in 6,hypointense in 3,and levering-cortex-up sign in 9 cases. The tumor body showed homogeneous enhancement on CT enhanced scanning and prolonged enhancement was noted in 7 cases. CT showed hyperintense in 3 of all 24 lesions of renal carcinoma,with mixed intensity in 5,hypointensity in 16,calcification in 2 cases. The majority of the tumor body showed heterogeneous enhancement on CT enhanced scanning with cortical hyperintensity and medullary low-intensity,and with contrast appeared fast wash-in and wash-out. Of all cases,8 presented with pseudo-capsule,7 with tumor embolus formation in the renal vein and inferior vena,10 with retroperitoneal lymphadenectasis,and 3 with intrahepatic metastasis. Conclusion CT scanning proves to play critical role in differentiating the atypical renal angiomyolipoma from renal carcinoma.

Purpose:To study whether the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt survival pathway could sensitize the response of tumor cells to some chemotherapyeutic agents. Methods:The different tumor cells has been treated with the combination of isoform specific Akt inhibitor and either adriamycin or camptothecin; the quantitation of the induction of apoptosis by drugs has been estimated with caspase 3 assay; immunoprecipitation western blotting has been used to evaluate the inhibition of the phosphorylation of different isoforms of Akt after the treatment. Results:①The inhibitors could reduce the phosphorylation of Threonine 308 and Serine 473 of isoform specific Akt. ②The inhibition of any one isoform specific Akt could not reverse the resistance of tumor cells tested to chemotherapeutic drugs, but it is not the same case if blocking of two isoforms of both Akt1 and Akt2 was done at the same time. ③The synergistic effects of Akt inhibitors is maybe relative to the level of endogenous PTEN(phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) expression. Conclusions:It is required to inhibit two isoforms of both Akt1 and Akt2 in order to maximally sensitize the tumor cells to chemotherapy.

Objective To determine the CT features of the 16 - slice Spiral CT (MSCT) for aortic dissection (AD). Methods 16 - slice spiral CT were porformed in 25 patients of aortic dissection. All of patients were performed with unenhanced, contrast - enhanced scanning and three - dimensional reconstruction. Results 10 patients were normal on unenhanced and 15 patients were seen enlargred diameter of aorta. Intimal calcification and intimal displacement was seen in 8 cases and outer wall calcification was presented in 7 cases. After contrast - enhanced scanning, true and false lumen and intimal flap of AD could be shown in all of 25 cases (100%). The entry tears was revealed in 22 cases (88.9%). Beak sign was presented in all cases, but it was seen in the false lumen. The larger lumen was the false lumen in 88.5% of the cases. Intraluminal thrombus was presented in 12 cases. Conclusion Multislice spiral CT angiography is a safe,no - traumation,fast and accurate examination method. It can fully display theintimal flap,the true and false lumen and tear entrance, as well as the branches involved details and is therefore of important value for the diagnosis of aortic dissection.

Objective To explore an effective method for preventing and treating oral mucosal complications of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Methods Fifty head and neck cancer patients who were receiving radiotherapy were enrolled between March, 2008 and March, 2010. These patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group. During the radiotherapy, patients in the treatment group were given IL-11 in the form of atomization inhalation,whereas patients in the control group were not. Results IL-1 1 was well tolerated by the patients. It significantly decreased the level of oral mucosal complications and pains and improved patients' appetites ( P < 0.05 ). In addition, the duration of pain was significantly ( P <0.05 ) reduced from 4.5 ± 1.3 days ( in control group) to 2.3 ± 1.0 ( in treatment group), and the healing period was also significantly ( P < 0.05) reduced from 7.3 ± 1.5 days ( in control group) to 4.1 ± 1.7 ( in treatment group). Conclusion IL-11 is effective in preventing and treating oral mucosal complications of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer,relieving associated pains, and therefore improving patients' quality of life.

Purpose To discuss the clinical,histopathological characteristics,diagnosis,differential diagnosis and prognosis of malignant intraductal papillary lesions of the breast.Methods 28 cases of malignant intraductal papillary lesions of the breast were analyzed by histology and immunobistochemistry.Clinical and follow-up information was obtained.The published relevant literatures were reviewed.Results All the patients were females with a mean age of 55.7 years.The clinical features were a palpable mass or nipple discharge.28 cases were diagnosed including 22 cases of intraductal papaillary carcinoma,2 cases of encapsulated papillary carcinoma and 4 cases of solid papillary carcinoma.Microscopically,the tumor showed solid and papillary area inside the capsule wall with fine delicate fibrovascular septa.The tumor cells usually displayed low-grade nuclear features.Immunohistochemistry,the tumor cells revealed diffusely strong positive ER and PR in almost all cases and HER-2,CK5/6 were negative positive.All cases were negatiive for CK5/6,p63 and SMA in the celluar nodules.CD56,Syn and CgA were found positively in some solid papillary carcinoma cases.The average positive rate of Ki-67 in tumor cells was 5.3 ％.27 patients were available for follow-up examination from 10 to 79 months and all the patients were alive.Conclusion Malignant intraductal papillary lesions of the breast most occurs in postmenopausal women.The diagnosis should be based on the clinical information,histopathological features and immunohistoehemistry stain due to its diverse histology.The main differential diagnosis is intraductal papilloma.This kind of lesion is a low grade malignant tumor with favorable prognosis.

Objective To study the value of carotid plaque magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in pre-operation assessment in the elderly patients with carotid atherosclerosis and explore the possibility of minimizing the contrast weightings to gain sweeptime. Methods Totally 70 elderly patients with cerebral ischemia (average age of 68.8 years) underwent carotid MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) due to the appearance of carotid plaque detected by ultrasound. Carotid plaque MRI was acquired with 3.0T MR scanner and 8 channel surface coil. The standard carotid plague MRI program included pre-and post-contrast T1 weighted imaging (T1WI), T2 weighted imaging, proton density weighted imaging and 3D time of flight MR angiography (3D TOF MRA). All these program were divided into two combinations: the 5-sequence MRI (all the sequences) and 2-sequence MRI (T1WI and TOF MRA). Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in coronal and lateral views of carotid artery was performed with GE Advantx LCN+. The software SPSS 13.0 was used to statistically analyze the difference between MRI and DSA, and that of two sequence combinations was used in the detection of luminal stenosis and fibrous cap (FC) rupture. Results Totally 135 arteries were analyzed while 3 arteries in one patient were excluded due to the poor quality image and stent placement. The degree of luminal stenosis were (38.3±31.0)% and (38.5±30.9)%, respectively, detected by the two MRI sequence-combination with no significant difference (t=2.447, P＞0.05) and was (35.1±31.8)% by DSA. There was a good concordance between MRI and DSA in luminal stenosis detection (Kappa value: 0.773). No statistical difference was found between two MR sequence combinations in detecting FC rupture (both in 36 vessels). DSA detected FC rupture of 16 vessels, showing remarkably difference contrast to MRI(χ2=12.0, P＜0.01). Conclusions MRI can accurately detect the luminal stenosis and FC rupture. The short time scanning resulting from sequence optimization could make MRI much more suitable than DSA to do the pre-operation assessment for senile carotid atherosclerotic patients.
