Objective To investigate the influence of interoperation radiation therapy (IROT) on immunity of patients with cervical cancer at Ⅱ b stage. Methods Before and after radiotherapy, T lymphocyte subsets of 61 cervical cancer patients at Ⅱ b stage including 28 patients with IROT and 31 with simple radiotherapy (SR) were tested by flow cytometry, with 20 normal people as the controls(NC). Results Before radiotherapy, radio CD 4, CD 4/CD 8 decreased obviously in cervical cancer patients. There was no obvious difference in immunity between IROT and SR group. After radiotherapy, radio CD 4, CD 4/CD 8 decreased obviously in 61 cervical cancer patients. But SR group was significantly lower than IROT group. Conclusion The influence of IROT on immunity of patients with cervical cancer at Ⅱ b stage was weaker than that of simple radiotherapy, and IROT contributed to the recovery of patients after radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the regulation of {O2 (2,4-dinitrophenyl)1-〔(4-ethoxycarbonyl) piperazin-1-yl〕diazen-1-ium-1,2-diolate}(JS-K), anitric oxide donor, on tumor energy metabolism in H22 tumor- bearing mice. METHODS The hepatoma animal model in BALB/c mice was established with H22 cell line. The JS-K group and model group were received JS-K (0.75 and 1.5 mg?kg-1) and saline via tail intravenous once every 3 d for 14 d, received 5 injections, respectively. The positive group was received 5-FU 20 mg·kg- 1 by intraperitoneal injection once a day for 14 d. On the 15th day mice were sacrificed. The tumor growth inhibition rate were calculated. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phospho?fructo kinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), and the levels of lactic acid (LD) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in tumor tissues were de?termined by colorimetric method. RESULTS Compared with model group, the tumor mass of JS- K 0.75 and 1.5 mg·kg- 1group was significantly reduced (P<0.01),and the tumor growth inhibition rate was 23.9% and 50.3%, respectively. The activity of HK, PFK, PK, SDH and ATPase of tumor tissue in model group was (22.6±3.7, 14.4±2.6, 12.9±3.2 and 10.5±2.6)U·g-1 protein and (0.70±0.10)μmolPi·mg-1 protein per hour, respectively; which in JS-K 1.5 mg?kg-1 group was dropped by 42.0%, 26.6%, 22.7%, 23.3% and 21.7% (P<0.01, P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the level of ATP and LD in JS-K group was dropped (P<0.01). CONCLUSION JS-K can inhibit the growth of tumor in H22 tumor-bearing mice and its mechanism may be related to regulating the tumor energy metabolism with inhibition of glycolysis and aerobic oxidation.

Objective To characterize molecule profiling for hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned human endothelial cells(EC),and to examine the hypothesis that the interaction between hypoxia/hy- pothermia-conditioned EC and monocytes plays a key role in early hypoxia/hypothermic reperfusion in- jury.Methods Human aortic EC were conditioned in hypoxia/hypothermia chamber at 4℃for 91) rain followed by 4 to 8 h re-warming at 37℃and then analyzed initially by RT-PCR to evaluate RNA transcripts.To examine early cellular interactions,a cellular adhesion study was performed using EC and fluorescence-conjugated DIO labeled purified human monocytes,and CD4~+ T cells as well as PB- MC.Interactions between PKH-26-labeled EC and these cells were carried out to determine EC mem- brane uptake by monocytes.Results RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that hypoxia/hypothermia-con- ditioned EC up-regulated RNA transcripts of inflammatory cytokines,ECE-1 and endothelin,co-stim- ulatory molecules,and adhesion molecules CD54.FACS showed minimal up-regulation of CD54 on hy- poxia-hypothermia-conditioned EC.Low level adhesion of purified CD4~+ T cells to resting and hypoxi- a/hypothermia-conditioned EC was noted.In contrast,high levels of monocyte adhesion to hypoxia/ hypothermia-conditioned EC were observed when compared to resting EC.EC membrane up-take by monocytes but not CD4~+ T cells was revealed by FACS,and the levels of EC membrane up-take were similar to those of the normal EC.Conclusions Hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned EC demonstrated up-regulation of multiple RNA transcripts associated with inflammatory responses,cellular adhesion and co-stimulation.Human monocyte adhesion to hypoxia/hypothermia-conditioned EC was greater than T cells.Monocytes up-took EC membrane during their interaction.These findings suggest that the initial interaction between monocytes and hypoxia-hypothermia EC,but not T cells,may play a critical role during early reperfusion injury.

BACKGROUND:Vascular endothelial cel s participate in the coagulation cascade reaction or contraction of blood vessels by secreting abundant coagulating substances that promote coagulation. OBJECTIVE:To overview the effects of different coagulating substances secreted by vascular endothelial cel s, and provide theoretical basis for the screening of coagulant biomaterials. METHODS:A computer-based research in CNKI and PubMed databases was performed for relevant literatures addressing vascular endothelial cel s and its secreting coagulating substances published from 1988 to 2016 using the keywords of“vascular endothelial cel s, endothelin, Ang II, TXA2, tissue factor, col agen, fibronectin, von wilbrand factor, thrombospondin, platelet activating factor, plasminogen activator inhibitor, proaccelerin, antihemophlic factor”in English and Chinese, respectively. Final y 36 articles were enrol ed for result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Vascular endothelial cel s can secrete numerous coagulation factors that play important roles in the process of coagulation, inflammation reaction and thrombosis fol owing vascular injury. Among them, coagulation factor V and VIII are directly involved in the coagulation cascade reaction and promote thrombosis. In the meanwhile, the vasoconstrictors narrow the lumen, thereby assisting coagulation and promoting thrombosis indirectly.

Objective To study the factors which influence the dose distribution of brachytherapy in cervical cancer. Methods Ninety-five patients with cervical cancer Ⅱ - Ⅲ b received fundamental radiation therapy including brachytherapy in our department from Aug. 2004 to Nov. 2005. The deviation of isodose curve of brachytherapy was based on A-B reference system, and the deviation of dose was defined by measuring in a practical standard body model. Results The factors influencing isodose offset significantly were parametrial infiltrating degree, and anatomy factor of cervical cancer and operating skill. The degree of isodose offset could not be lowered with the increased frequency of brachytherapy. Conclusion Making simulation in cervical brachythecapy is necessary not only for the identification of the deviation of isodose curve but also for adjusting the dose distribution and revising the plan of radiotherapy.
