Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1995;0(03):-
Objective: To investigate the effects of Interlukin- 4(IL-4) on the invasiveness and the expression of several cell surface antigens related to invasive and metastatic potentials of human hepatocellular carcinoma QGY-7701 cell line in vitro. Methods: QGY-7701 cells were incubated with high concentration of IL-4 or low concentration of IL-4 in different time. The expression of ICAM-1, CD44 and HLA-I was determined by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis, the tumor cell binding affinity to extracellular matrix (ECM) components was measured by cell attachment assay, the degree of homotypic aggregation was quantified by cell aggregation assay. Results: IL-4 pretreatment can enhance the expression of ICAM-1 and HLA-I, suppress the expression of CD44 on hepatocellular carcinoma cell line and decrease the binding affinity to ECM components and the degree of homotypic aggregation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Conclusoin: IL-4 can inhibit the invasive and metastatic potentials of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.

Objective To assess the value of combined assays of anti Saccharomyces cerevisia antibody (ASCA) and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (pANCA) in differential diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods Nineteen patients with IBD, including 9 patients with Crohn's disease(CD) and 10 patients with ulcerative colitis(UC), and 18 healthy subjects were enrolled into study. Serum levels of pANCA and ASCA (IgG and IgA) were measured by indirect immunofluorescence technique and a standardized ELISA, respectively. Results The serum levels of ASCA IgG and ASCA IgA in CD patients (18.51? 6.38 and 11.74 ? 5.46 ) were significantly higher than those in UC patients ( 6.98 ? 5.24 and 3.88 ? 3.52 ) and healthy subjects( 5.90 ? 4.12 and 4.62 ? 3.21 )respectively (P

Objective To investigate the effect of type II dengue virus infection on the survival rate of Aedes albopictus, to provide basic data for the prevention and control of dengue fever. Methods The Aedes albopictus C6/36 cells were cultured to amplify and harvest type Ⅱ dengue virus. After emergence, the lab-domesticated Aedes albopictus was fed daily with freshly prepared 10% glucose water under 28℃ and humidity ≥70%, and used for infection experiment at 3-5 days of age. The day before infection, male mosquitoes were selected out, and the female mosquitoes were divided into infected and uninfected groups, deprived of food and water. When infected, they respectively were fed blood meals containing or without dengue virus typeⅡ(the blood meal of the uninfected group was the same as the infected group's, minus the presence of TypeⅡ dengue virus), and the saturated blood mosquitoes were fed with 10% glucose water. The survival of mosquitoes in two groups was observed and recorded daily. On the 14th day after blood feeding, the nucleic acid of dengue virus typeⅡof Aedes albopictus was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the infection rate was calculated. The survival rates of infected and uninfected Aedes albopictus were calculated and compared. The survival curves of the two groups were plotted using survival analysis and the log-rank test was performed. Results A total of 99 infected saturated blood Aedes albopictus were reared in the infected group, and 83 in the uninfected group. By the 14th day after infection, 31 and 15 mosquitoes had died in the infected and uninfected groups respectively, with mortality rates of 31.31% (31/99) and 18.07% (15/83), respectively, indicating a higher mortality rate in the infected group. The log-rank test showed that the survival curve of the infected group of Aedes albopictus was lower than that of the uninfected group (χ2=4.121 9, P<0.05). The infection rate of Aedes albopictus detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR was 77.94% (53/68). Conclusion TypeⅡdengue virus infection can reduce the survival rate of Aedes albopictus.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in the clinic of our hospital. METHODS:Drug re-sistance of Gram-negative bacillus in the inpatients of our hospital were analyzed retrospectively during May 2013-Dec. 2015 as well as the situation of producing metallo-β-lactamase(MBLs). RESTUTS:A total of 2089 strains of Gram-negative bacillus were detected in our hospital during 2013-2015,among which there were 1456 strains of enterobacteria (69.70%) and 633 strains of non-fermentative bacteria,mainly involving Escherichia coli,Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter bau-mannii and Enterobacter cloacae. A total of 406 strains of carbapenems-resistant bacteria were detected (19.44%),including 367 strains of non-fermentative bacteria and 39 strains of enterobacteria. The resistant rates of carbapenems-resistant strains to 16 antibi-otics were all higher than 50%,but those of non-carbapenems-resistant strains were in relative low level. Except for aztreonam,re-sistant rates of carbapenems-resistant strains to other 15 antbiotics were all higher than those of non-carbapenems-resistant strains, with statistical significance(P<0.05). A total of 36 strains of producing MBLs were detected(8.87%),including 13 strains of pro-ducing MBLs drug-resistant P. aeruginosa and 23 strains of producing MBLs drug-resistant A. baumannii;producing MBLs drug re-sistant enterobacteria had not been found. CONCLUSIONS:Gram-negative bacillus are mainly enterobacteria in our hospital;car-bapenems-resistant strains are mainly non-fermentative bacteria,resistant rate of them are commonly higher than that of non-drug-re-sistant strain. The situation of producing MBLs is serious,and enzyme producing strains are mainly non-fermentative bacteria. It is necessary to strengthen drug resistance of pathogen and enzyme producing strain monitoring,avoid the generation and spreading of drug-resistant strains due to irrational use of antibiotics.

Objective To evaluate the effect of chest backplate in treating multiple rib fractures in patients with focal abnormal breathing.Methods The clinical data of 36 patients with multiple rib fractures and focal abnormal breathing who were treated by Chrisofix chest backplate were analyzed.Results Thirtyfour patients were cured by chest backplate and other conservative treatments,and 2 patients underwent rib internal fixation surgery.The numeric rating scales scores before and after the application of the chest backplate were (8.1 ± 0.7) scores and (5.2 ± 0.5) scores respectively(P < 0.01).Seven patients had skin blisters forming around the shield,which were cured by liquid extraction with a syringe and gauze covered with povidone iodine.No patients stopped treatment because of allergy.Conclusions Chest backplate is an effective,easy and inexpensive method for patient with multiple rib fractures and focal abnormal breathing who doesn't need exploratory thoracotomy.It is worthy to spread in clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy of simultaneous integrate boost for glioblastoma with intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( SIB?IMRT). Methods A total of 46 patients with glioblastoma who underwents SIB?IMRT from January 2013 to August 2014,were retrospectively analyzed. Toxicity after completion of SIB?IMRT were assessed. Kaplan?Meier method was used to analyze survival and progression?free survival. Multivariate analyses were performed to determine significant prognostic factors. Results There was no patients delayed by more than grade 3 radiation toxicity. The median overall survival and 1?year survival rates was 69 weeks and 73%,respectively. The progression free survival and 1?year progression?free survival rate were 43 weeks and 39%,respectively. The pattern of failure was identical (9 Local, 7 distant and 0 marginal recurrence). Multivariate analyses show that temozolomide concurrent chemoradiotherapy were independent factors correlated to prognosis. Conclusions The preliminary results demonstrate that SIB?IMRT for glioblastoma appear to be effective and safe. With the limted number of patients in this group,SIB?IMRT could be used for treating glioblastoma with caution,which deserves further study.
