Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2013;(9):1103-1107
[Objective]To probe into the immune protective effect of Astragalus polysaccharide on mice ,whose genital tract was infected with Chlamydia trachomatis. [Methods]After the murine model of genital tract infected with chlamydia trachomatis was established, we could obtain the minimum effective infective dose. Mice were immuned by different doses(10 mg·kg-1, 20 mg·kg-1, 40 mg·kg-1) of Astragalus polysaccharide(APS) and 0.9%NS , meanwhile the blank group was regarded as the control group. After mice were immuned, we detected serum IgG antibody levels by ELISA method,and took the twice effective dose of chlamydia trachomatis to attack the genital tract after a week. Then the mice genital shedding of epithelial cells were cultured at each interval 2d. After 10 days, we kil ed the mice to calculate spleen(thymus) index, and observed the pathological changes in the reproductive tract of the mice. [Results]Compared with the control group, spleen(thymus) index and serum IgG antibody levels of Astragalus polysaccharide group are significantly higher. The results of vaginal exfoliated cells from Ct training show that, Ct positive rate of Astragalus polysaccharide group is significantly reduced, the number of inclusion bodies is also significantly decreased. And with the increasing concentration of Astragalus polysaccharide, the protective effect is more obvious. The NS group has no significant difference from the control group in al indicators. [Conclusions]Astragalus polysaccharide can induce immune protection on Ct genital tract attacked mice, and in the concentration range, with the increase of the concentration, the protection effect is better.

BACKGROUND:Gastric cancer stem cels involved in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy and conventional treatment are closely associated with relapse of gastric cancer. However, this conclusion has not yet been confirmed.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of gastric cancer stem cels in tumor invasion and metastasis and its effect on angiogenesis ability.
METHODS:We prepared nude mouse models of gastric cancer to isolate and culture gastric cancer stem cels. Harvested gastric cancer stem cels were detected in cel scratch test, ring test, inhibition rate test, cel migration test and tumorigenicity test.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 7 days of culture, the cels exhibited adherent growth but a lack of regularity that most cels were in a tadpole shape. In the cel scratch test, the scratch width was significantly different at 0 and 24 hours (P < 0.05). Under an inverted microscope, the cels were found to form a ring in the ring test. The 50% inhibiting concentration of gastric cancer stem cels induced by oxaliplatin was significantly lower than that induced by 5-fluorouracil (P < 0.05). The number of cels passing through the basilar membrane was significantly increased after cel migration (P < 0.05). After implantation of gastric cancer stem cels, the gastric tissue quality was significantly higher than that in normal nude mice of gastric cancer (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that gastric cancer stem cels responsible for tumor invasion and migration have stronger angiogenesis ability.
