Objective To investigate the effects of Compound E-Jiao Slurry (CEJS) and Cyclophosphamide (CTX) on the inhibition of Lewis pulmonary carcinoma xenografts. Methods Tumor xenografts models were prepared and randomly divided into six groups by weight, including the control group,CTX, CEJS with the dosages of high, middle and low, with a total of ten mice in each group. The control mice were given normal saline 0.4ml by intragastric administration once daily, with a total of twelve times; The mice of CTX group were given CTX 0.2 ml by intraperitoneal injection every other day, with a total of six times; The mice of CEJS group were given CEJS 0.2 ml and saline 0.2 ml by intragastric administration; The mice of combination therapy group 1 were given CEJS 0.4 ml by intragastric administration once daily, and CTX 0.2 ml by intraperitoneal injection every other day; The mice of combination therapy group 2 were given CEJS 0.2 ml by intragastric administration once daily, and CTX 0.2 ml by intraperitoneal injection every other day; The mice of combination therapy group 3 were given CEJS 0.1 ml by intragastric administration once daily, and CTX 0.2 ml by intraperitoneal injection every other day. The weight of tumor xenografts were measured in the experiment,the inhibition rate of tumor xenografts were calculated according to the data after the dissection. Results The combination groups and CTX alone have an inhibition rate of over 50%, and the CEJS group 25.88%. In every experimental group, the weight of tumor showed statistical significance compared with the control (P<0.05). The value was(4.457±0.796)g, (2.105±0.651) g, (3.304±0.922) g, (1.668±0.267)g, (1.752±0.546)g and (2.075±1.061) g respectively according to the group sequence. There was no statistical significance of tumor weight in the groups of different dosages of CEJS plus CTX compared with the CTX group (P>0.05). Conclusion CEJS can't obviously enhance the sensitivity of tumor xenografts to CTX, but there is a trend for tumor inhibition.

Objective To study molecular biology and clinicopathologic characters of peritoneal metastasis of advanced gastric cancer and their relationship to prognosis. Methods Based on the molecular biology and the clinicopathologic characters and prognosis single-factor analysis of relevant factors and risk assessment was made in 193 cases of gastric cancer.Results The younger the patient was with the earlier the time of occurrence of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. There was a high expression of ICAM-1 and MMP-2,but low expression of TIMP-1 and p53 in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.Conclusions ICAM-1,MMP-2,TIMP-1 and p53 can well predict the occurrence of metastasis and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer,and these factors can be used for preoperative assessment of the development of metastasis of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes in platele aciveation in terms of platelet fibrinogen receptor expression(PAC-1),P-selectin(CD62P),Thromboxane B2(TXB2),Endothlin(ET-1),Fibrinogen(FIB)in patients undergoing elective Sirolimus-eluting stents implantation and dual anti-platelet therapy.Methods Forty in-hospital patients with stable coronary heart disease(CHD)were enrolled in this study.Dural anti-platelet therapy with aspirin and clopidogrel were prescribed at least three days before operation to achieve sufficient inhibition of platelet activation in all patients.Peripheral artery blood samples were collected before the procedures,immediately and at 6 hours and 24 hours after the procedure,levels of PAC-1,CD62P,TXB2,ET-1 and FIB were measured.All patients were followed up for 6-12 months.Results Expression of PAC-1 and CD62P was increased significantly after stenting compared with pre-stenting and the peak appeared at 6 hours post-operation(PAC-1,P=0.001,CD62P,P=0.007,PAC1+CD62P,P=0.003).TXB2 was also increased and the peak appeared at 24 hours post operation(P=0.021).Plasma levels of ET-1 and FIB showed no difference before and after stenting.After CAG,expression of PAC-1 and CD62P,levels of TXB2,ET-1 and FIB had no significant differences compared with pre-CAG.No MACE happened in all patients.Conclusion The routine dual anti-platelet therapy cannot suppress platelet activation after elective coronary Sirolimus-eluting stents implantation.Plasma FIB and ET-1 levels were not affected by stents implantation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibition effects of compound leech eye drops (Co-SZ) on apoptosis of lens epithelial cells (LECs) induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the expressions of apoptosis-related genes Bcl-2 and Bax in rats. METHODS: All fresh transparent LECs in SD rats were bathed in culture medium with H2O2 in vitro, meanwhile Co-SZ were added in the culture medium. All LECs were incubated for 24 hours. The apoptosis rate of LECs was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated biotin-dUTP nick end labeling method (TUNEL). The changes of LEC ultrastructure and the formation of apoptotic body were observed by transmission electron microscopy. The expressions of apoptosis-related genes Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by streptavdin-peroxidase-biotin method. RESULTS: The apoptosis rate of LECs in the Co-SZ-treated group was significantly lower than that in the H2O2-treated group. The changes of apoptotic LEC ultrastructure in the Co-SZ-treated group were less than those in the H2O2-treated group. The expression of Bcl-2 protein was up-regulated and the expression of Bax protein was down-regulated in the Co-SZ-treated group as compared with the H2O2-treated group. CONCLUSION: The LEC apoptosis induced by H2O2 can be inhibited by Co-SZ. The molecular mechanisms of Co-SZ in inhibiting LEC apoptosis may be related to regulating the expressions of apoptosis-related genes Bcl-2 and Bax.

Objective:To investigate the management in patients with complete portal vein (PV) and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) thrombosis during liver transplantation (LT). Methods:Seven patients with complete PV and SMV thrombosis undergone LT, The reconstruction of PV were the anastomosis PV to varicose coronary vein in 3 cases, PV to varicose vein near hilus of spleen in 2 case, PV to varicose vein in front of common bile duct in 1 case, PV to varicose right gastro-epiploic vein in 1 case. Results:All patients undergone successful LT. One case died 7 days after the transplantation of multi-organic nonfunction, but the PV was patent. One case was found stenosis at the anastomosis 6 months after LT, and he was cured by percutaneous transhepatic portography and stent placement. Other patients were followed-up12~22 months, the PVs were patent, and had sufficient blood supply, and they have normal liver and kidney functions now. Conclusion :The anastomosis between graft portal vein and the splanchnic varicose vein may be a applicable choice for the patients with complete PV and SMV thrombosis during LT.

Objective:To investigate the related factors and clinical significance of peritoneal micrometastasis in patients with gastric carcinoma,providing theoretical basis for resection range。Methods:CK19,CK20 immunohistochemistry were performed on 62 patients' tissues taken from anterior lobe of transverse mesocolon,posterior wall of omental bursa,pancreatic capsule and rectovesical pouch or Douglas pouch during the operations,compared with HE staining and peritoneal lavage cytology(PLC).Results:No metastasis was found by HE staining.Peritoneal micrometastasis were found in 27 cases out of 62 by immunohistochemistry,and its positive rate was 43.55%,obviously higher than PLC(14.52%).The peritoneal micrometastasis of gastric carcinoma had relations with diameter of tumor,depth of infiltration,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis(P0.05).Conclusion:Immunohistochemistric measure of CK 19 and CK20 can be effective to detect the micrometastasis of gastric carcinoma,which is helpful to guide clinical staging and useful to provide evidence for accurate selection of operation and postoperative treatment.Routine detection of peritoneal micrometastasis should be taken in patients of advanced gastric carcinoma,especially with a large size of serosa invasion.Multiple spots sampling is helpful to improve the detection rate.Anterior lobe of transverse mesocolon and pancreatic capsule should be peeled,and radical resection of omental bursa should be considered as routine operation in these patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of uterine cavity injection of absolute ethanol on estrous cycle in mice.Methods Twenty mice with regular estrous cycle were selected by vaginal exfoliated cells staining, and then were injected absolute ethanol into their uterine cavity.The estrous cycle was observed and recorded every day.Ten mice were selected randomly to observe the changes of second estrous cycle every two hours.Results After the injection of absolute ethanol into the uterine cavity of the experimental mice, the estrous cycle was greatly prolonged, and the various degree of disorder was observed in estrus and pre-estrus.Conclusions The disorder was observed in estrous cycle of mice after the injection of absolute ethanol, which maybe provides some references for clinical use of absolute ethanol.

[Summary] Interleukin-2 receptor antagonist (IL-2Ra,ie,basiliximab and daclizumab),a new antibody agent,is widely employed in lowering the risk of acute rejection after organ transplantation,but it meanwhile causes increasing concerns on the effect it exerts on glucose metabolism in transplant recipients,and so far the exact effect still remains controversial.New onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) is one of the most influential metabolic complications affecting graft survival and patients' long-term outcomes.Some of the current researches indicate that IL2Ra may improve glucose metabolism in the transplant recipients,some show just the opposite,yet others show no effects.Hence further investigations focusing this aspect are needed.

Objective: This study investigates the biological effects and explores the molecular mechanisms of epigallocate-chin-3-gallate (EGCG) on the apoptosis of the human gastric cancer MGC-803 cells. Methods: After treatment with EGCG, cell apopto-sis was verified by flow cytometry with Annexin V and propidium iodide staining, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, and transmission electron microscopy. The expression profiles of the apoptosis-related genes in the MGC-803 cells with or without treatment by EGCG for 12 h (100 μmol/L), was identified using SuperArray Human Apoptosis Gene Array. The upregulated Fas-L gene and down-regulated Bag-1 gene were confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Results: When the MGC-803 cells were treated with EGCG at 25, 50, 100, and 200 μmol/L for 24 h, evident sub-diploid peaks were observed. Under treat-ment with 100 μmol/L for 4, 8, 12, and 24 h, the number of early apoptotic cells was greatly increased. When the cells were treated with 100 μmol/L for 24 h, the DNA extracted from the cells displayed a characteristic ladder pattern with agarose gel electrophoresis. Typi-cal morphological changes were observed by electron microscopy, including cell shrinkage, karyo-pyknosis, and the formation of apop-totic bodies. The differential expressions of eight apoptosis-associated genes were determined by gene array detection. The results of Fas-L and Bag-1 selected for RT-PCR and Western blot were consistent with those of gene array. Conclusion: EGCG induces apoptosis in MGC-803 cells, which might be mediated by a number of specific genes and various signal transduction pathways.
