Objective To evaluate the ability of 3-AB to sensitize the human esophageal carcinoma cell strain (CaEs-17) to radiation in v/tro and its mechanisms. Methods CaEs-17 cells were treated with 3-AB at 0, 2.5, 7.5 mmol/L and given irradiation O, 3, 6, 9, 12 Gy. 3-AB concentration in each group was made dose-survival curve using multi-target single-hit maiths model by clonogenie assay. MTT assay was performed to observe the survival of irradiated cells.comet assay and metaphase chromosome analysis were used to measure the DNA damage degree and chromosome aberration of CaEs-17 cell after 3-AB treatment and irradiation. Results Cell survival experiments showed SER of 1.21, 1.52 for 2.5 mmol/L, 7.5 mmol/L 3-AB respectively using multi-target single-hit maths model. The survival fraction of irradiated CaEs-17 cell was decreased after 3-AB treatment. DNA damage and the chromatid breakage number of irradiated CaEs-17 cells were increased after 3-AB treatment. Conclusions 3-AB, a PARP inhibitor, can enhance the radiosensitivity of human esophageal carcinoma cell strain (CaEs-17). DNA damage repair inhibition by 3-AB might be one of the mechanisms.

PURPOSE: The growth hormone receptor(GHR) is essential for the actions of growth hormone on postnatal growth and metabolism. GHR transcripts are characterized by the presence of disparate 5'untranslated exons. In contrast to L1 transcript, factors regulating the expression of the GC rich L2 transcript have remained unidentified. The purpose of this study is in order to characterize the mechanisms regulating expression of the L2 transcript in the murine GHR gene METHODS: Transient transfection experiments including deletional analysis and co-transfection assay were performed to find a region containing promoter activity in the L2 5'flanking sequence using BNCL2(mouse liver) cells, CV-1(African green monkey kidney) cells, HRP.1 trophoblasts and Drosophila Schneider(SL2) cells. Sequencing analysis was performed to find the region contained consensus binding sites for transcription factors. Standard gel shift(Electrophoretic mobility shift assay, EMSA) and supershift analysis using liver nuclear extracts was performed to establish proteins(transcription factors) bound this regulatory element. RESULTS: The 5'flanking region of the L2 untranslated region(UTR) exhibited promoter activity in BNCL2(mouse liver), CV-1(monkey kidney) cells and HRP.1 trophoblasts. Deletional analyses indicated the presence of a Sp binding site important for transcription of the L2 UTR and localized the major regulatory region within 75 bp of the 5'transcription start site. Sequencing analyses revealed the region contained consensus binding sites for the Sp family of transcription factors. EMSA and supershift EMSA revealed that in mouse liver nuclear extracts that Spl and Sp3 bound to this cis-element. Functional studies in Drosophila SL2 cells and BNCL2(mouse liver) cells established the ability of Sp3 and Sp1 to stimulate transcriptional activity via this cis-element. Functional studies in Drosophila SL2 cells demonstrated a functional interaction between Sp3 and Sp1 at this DNA-binding site. CONCLUSION: Sp family transcription factors play a role in regulation of L2 transcript gene expression in the 5'flanking region of the murine GHR gene.

PURPOSE: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of growth hormone(GH) on neuronal cell necrosis and apoptosis at 1 week and 3 weeks after hypoxic ischemic brain injury. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats, seven-day-old, were used. Rats were anesthetized with ether less than 5 minutes. The right carotid artery was cut between double ligation. And then, rats were allowed to recover for 30 minutes followed by exposure to 8% oxygen at 37 degrees C for 2 hours for hypoxic ischemic insult. The study group was divided into 2 groups, control group(N=3) and GH treated group(N=3). GH treated group received intraperitoneal injection of GH 1 IU 2 hours after hypoxic ischemic insult following daily adminstration as same dose for 5 days. Rats were decapitated at 1 week and 3 weeks after hypoxic ischemic brain injury. After then, right hippocampal CA1 and CA3 neurons of rat brains were examined. RESULTS: Necrosis was significantly less in GH treated group than control group, and was more prominent at 3 weeks in both groups. The apoptosis was not found in GH treated and control group. CONCLUSION: GH has a neuroprotective effect on neuronal cell deaths(especially necrosis) from 1 week to 3 week after hypoxic ischemic insult in neonatal rat.

Objective To investigate susceptibility and antibacterial activity of cationic porphyfin derivative mediated photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (CPD-PACT) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa,to provide experimental evidence for its high efficiency antibacterial activity.Methods The impacts of culture environments on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were measured by double dilution method.The formation of inhibition zone was determined by diffusion plate method.The postantibiotic effect was analyzed by colony forming units.The viability and morphology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Results The inoculum size of bacterial had a certain effect on the MIC.The MIC values increased as the pH of medium rose.When the calf serum content of culture medium increased,the MIC rose in light reaction and dropped in dark reaction.The diameter of inhibition zone mainly depended on the laser energy density,but not the concentration of photosensitizer.Though CPD possessed strong antimicrobial activity and persistent suppression on bacterial growth,the surviving Pseudomonas aeruginosa would soon continue to proliferate after PACT.The fluorescence images captured by CLSM showed that CPD-PACT could destroy the membrane integrity,leak the cytoplasmic component,decrease the bacterial activity and finally lead Pseudomonas aeruginosa to death.Conclusions CPD has strong inhibitory activity and obvious postantibiotic effect on Pseudomonas aeruginosa,which is suitable to be developed as an drug candidate for PACT.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of omeprazole combined with octreotide in treatment of patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage.Methods96 patients with non-variceal upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage were randomly divided into two groups.All the cases were received basic treatment of fluid infusion,transfusion and nutritional support.The control group( n =48) was treated with omeprazole alone,and the treatment group(n =48) was treated with omeprazole and octreotide.The course of treatment was 3 days.The vital signs,24h urine output,the number of cases of rebleeding in 72 h and adverse drug reactions was observed and recorded.ResultsThe total effective rate in treatment group and control group was 91.7％ and 72.9％,respectively.The difference between the two groups was statistically significant( x2 =5.79,P ＜0.05 ).The time of hemostasis and blood transfusion volume in treatment group were significantly less than those in control group(t =7.69,9.91,all P ＜0.05).The rebleeding rates after 72 hours of hemostasis between the two groups(8.3％ vs 25.0％ ) was significantly different ( x2 =4.80,P ＜ 0.05 ).In the course of treatment,the side effects weren' t found in both groups.ConclusionOmeprazole combined with octreotide was more effective and safe than omeprazole alone in fast stopping bleeding and reducing rebleeding rate.

Objective To summarize the clinical characteristics of small intestinal stromal tumors(SIST), and evaluate the diagnostic values of various imaging or endoscope examinations for SIST. Methods From July 2004 to June 2009, 74 patients whose operation or endoscopy biopsy tissues pathologically confirmed SIST were collected. The clinical data, imageology including enteroclysis, abdominal ultrasound, spiral computered tomography (CT) and the double-balloon enteroscopy report of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. According to biological behavior, the SIST was divided into four risk degree such as extremely low risk, low risk, moderate risk and high risk. The correlation between pathologic characters and spiral CT feature was analyzed. Results The most predilection site of SIST was jejunum in 43 patients (58.1 %); secondarily duodenum in 17 cases (23%); and 10 cases (13.5%) in ileum. About 94.6 percent of patients (70/74) showed clinical signs, the most common symptom was gastrointestinal bleeding in 46 cases (67. 2 % ), abdominal pain in 23 cases (31.1%). Of various photogrammetry examinations and endoscopy, spiral CT has the highest diagnosis rate and diagnosis coincidence rate, which was 100% and 72. 1% respectively. Among the 74 SIST lesions, 14 cases were extremely low biological risk (18. 9 % ), 21 at low risk (28.4 % ), 15 at moderate risk (20. 3%) and 24 at high risk (32.4%). Spiral CT is helpful for the SIST risk diagnosis. Conclusions The onset of SIST was concealed and early diagnosis was very difficult. Spinal CT which could help to predict the tumor's risk degree and prognosis was noninvasive, convenient and reliable. Therefore, it could be the first choice for SIST examination at present.
