OBJECTIVE This study is to investigate the effects on nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines(CNE-2Z)induced by As2O3 and its possible mechanisms.METHODS CNE-2Z cells were treated with various concentrations of As2O3 for different times.The IC50 values were detected by trypan blue stain assay to choose the optimal concentration of As2O3.Cell cycle redistribution was analyzed by flow cytometry.The expression levels of p16、 RASSF1A、DNMT 3B mRNA were assessed by RT-PCR.RESULTS The suppression of cell proliferation by As2O3 was time and dose-dependent.After being treated with different concentration of As2O3,the IC50 values of As2O3 were(1.50?0.05),(1.09?0.13),(0.65?0.04)?mol/L at 24,48,and 72h,respectively.As2O3 also arrested CNE-2Z cells in G2/M phase of cell cycle.After CNE-2Z cells being treated with As2O3,the expression of RASSF1A mRNA were up-regulated(P

Objective The radiotherapy is one of main treatments for patients with malignant tumor and leads to ovarian func-tion decreasing in young women .It is very important to protect ovarian function during the process of radiotherapy .The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of melatonin ( MT) agonist on radiotherapy-induced ovarian function damage in female rats . Methods Thirty SD rats were divided into five groups randomly , which received normal saline, 200 cGy radiotherapy+normal saline, 200 cGy radiotherapy+MT(25 mg/kg), 200 cGy radiotherapy+MT(50 mg/kg), and 200 cGy radiotherapy +MT(100 mg/kg), respectively.All rats were de-capitated two weeks after radiotherapy .Levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E2) were measured by en-zyme-linked immune sorbent assay method;the number of the primordial follicles , the growth follicles and the mature follicle were ob-served;Caspase3 activity was assayed by spectrophotometry . Results In accordance with the normal control group , RT+MT (100 mg/kg) group, RT+MT (50 mg/kg) group,RT group , serum E2 levels decreased, respectively (6.68 ±0.48, 5.73 ±1.36, 4.26 ±0.44, 2.83 ±0.51)pmol/L;FSH levels increased, respectively (0.340 ±0.011, 0.431 ±0.053, 0.479 ±0.023, 0.604 ± 0.028)ng/mL ;the total number of follicles decreased ,respectively (21.67 ±1.97, 18.00 ±2.28, 15.50 ±1.05, 11.50 ±2.43);Caspase3 activity increased,respectively (0.14 ±0.03, 0.26 ±0.06, 0.36 ±0.05, 0.50 ±0.05).Except FSH had no significant difference between RT +MT(50 mg/kg)group and RT+MT(100 mg/kg) group(P>0.05), the rest indexes had significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05). Conclusion MT can diminish radiotherapy-induced ovarian damage in female rats, it may be related to the mechanism that MT inhibits the radiotherapy-induced activation of Caspase 3.

[Summary] Diabetic nephropathy is one of the major chronic microvascular complications of diabetes ,which is the leading cause of end‐stage renal disease ,as well as the main cause of death in diabetic patients. Glomerular endothelial cell is an important component of the glomerular filtration barrier ,which is directly related to the materials of circulation ,and it can be easily damaged by glucose ,lipid and inflammatory factors. Under the hyperglycemia ,the PKC pathway ,the polyol pathway and oxidative stress were activated ,producing an excess of advanced glycation end products and reactive oxygen species ,which damage the endothelial nitric oxide synthase ,reduce the generation of nitric oxide ,while produce a large number of Ang Ⅱ. Ang Ⅱ damage the endothelial cell. In addition ,there are crosstalk between glomerular endothelial cells and endothelial cells ,which also cause endothelial cell injury. Here ,we reviewed the role of endothelial cell injury in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy.

Objective To analyze the clinical and ultrasonic features of primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid(PSCCT)and diagnostic value of ultrasonography (US) in PSCCT in order to improve the cognition of PSCCT.Methods The clinical data and ultrasonic characters of 5 patients with PSCCT confirmed by pathology post surgery were retrospectively reviewed.Results The average age of the 5 patients was 62 years (range from 46 to 79).All of 5 patients with PSCCT were presented with a painless neck mass in clinical palpation examination.Of them,2 patients had different degrees of difficulty in breathing and swallowing,2 patients had hoarseness.Four of 5 patients had died after surgery with average survival time of 9.5 months.On US,the size of lesions was large(a maximum diameter of 2.9-5.5 cm),all of 5 lesions appeared as single solid mixed-echogenicity mass including irregular lamellate marked hypoechoic region,with irregular margin and undefined boundary.Of them,2 lesions presented with lobulated,only 1 lesion exhibited microcalcification and another 4 lesions had no calcification,3 lesions exhibited a? sign of breakthrough thyroid envelope.Color Doppler flow imaging showed few blood flow (3/5) and moderate blood flow (2/5),a higher vascular resistance spectrum was detected in 4 lesions (RI 0.72-0.88).Three patients exhibited suspicious cervical lymph nodes.Conclusions The characteristic ultrasonic appearance combined with the clinical features enables a confident preoperative diagnosis of PSCCT.

Objective To investigate clinical effect and safety difference of vinorelbine and docetaxel sepa-rately combined with lobaplatin in treatment of recurrent and metastatic breast cancer.Methods 160 patients with recurrent and metastatic breast cancer were chosen from July 2009 to July 2012 in our hospital,and they were random-ly divided into two groups,including A group (80 patients)with vinorelbine and B group (80 patients)with docetaxel on the basis of lobaplatin.The clinical efficacy for short -term,survival rate with follow -up and side effects incidence of both groups were compared.Results The RR and DCR of A group were 51.25%,68.75%,which of B group were 55.00%,71.25%.There was no significant difference in the clinical efficacy for short -term between the two groups (χ2 =1.04,2.37,all P >0.05).The survival rates in 1,2 and 3 years after treatment of A group were 60.00%,53.75%,28.75%,those of B group were 67.50%,57.50%,31.25%.There was no significant difference in the survival rate with follow -up between the two groups (χ2 =2.14,3.01,1.87,all P >0.05).The incidence rate of drug side effects of B group was significantly lower than A group(χ2 =13.14,9.33,15.74,11.65,8.29,all P <0.05).Conclusion Vinorelbine and docetaxel separately combined with lobaplatin in treatment of recurrent and metastatic breast cancer can efficiently control the disease progress and prolong the survival time;but docetaxel com-bined with lobaplatin treatment is helpful to reduce the risk of serious side effects.

Objective To study the changes of serum level of high mobility group box-1(HMGB- 1)in patients with multiple trauma in order to forecast organ dysfunction(OD)and deaths.Methods The optical densities of HMGB-1 in serum of 35 patients with multiple trauma were determined on 1st,3rd, and 7th days after trauma,and the incidence of organ dysfunction and deaths were evaluated,then analyzed statistically to learn the relation between the serum levels of HMGB-1 and deaths with an attempt of predic- ting the incident of organ dysfunction and deaths.Results (1)As OD was concerned,there was a statis- tically significant difference in optical density of HMGB-1 on 1st and 3rd days between the two groups of multiple injury patients(t=4.411,P

The paper aimed to evaluate the effects of lead stress on photosynthetic performance and ginsenoside content in ginseng (Panax ginseng). To accomplish this, three years old ginseng were cultivated in pot and in phytotron with different concentrations of lead, ranging from 0 to 1000 mg x kg(-1) soil for a whole growth period (about 150 days). The photosynthetic parameters in leaves and ginsenoside content in roots of ginseng were determined in green fruit stage and before withering stage, respectively. In comparison with the control, net photosynthetic rate and SPAD value in ginseng leaves cultivated with 100 and 250 mg x kg(-1) of lead changed insignificantly, however, ginseng supplied with 500 and 1 000 mg x kg(-1) of lead showed a noticeably decline in the net rate of photosynthesis and SPAD value (P < 0.05), the lowest net photosynthetic rate and SPAD value showed in the treatment supplied with 1 000 mg x kg(-1) of lead, with decline of 57.8%,11.0%, respectively. Total content of ginsenoside in ginseng roots cultivated with 100 mg x kg(-1) of lead showed insignificantly change compared to the control, but the content increased remarkably in treatments supplied with 250, 500, 1 000 mg x kg(-1) of lead (P < 0.05), and highest content appeared in these ginsengs exposed to 1000 mg x kg(-1) of lead. The net photosynthetic rate and SPAD value in leaves of ginseng both showed significantly negative linear correlations with lead stress level (P < 0.01), and significant positive linear correlations between total content of ginsenoside and lead concentration was also observed (P < 0.05). These results strongly indicate that exposing to high level of lead negatively affects photosynthetic performance in ginseng leaves, but benefits for accumulation of secondary metabolism (total content of ginsenoside) in ginseng root.

Objective To study the positive influence of a standard trauma system on the care of severely injured patients.Methods The severely injured patients (NISS≥16 points)were divided into study group ( in 2006-2008,after the establishment of trauma center in our hospital) and control group (in 2001-2005,before the establishment of trauma center),which was bound by the establishment of the trauma center in our hospital in January 2006.The injury severity,care and outcomes were recorded by using China Trauma Database and changes in efficiency and quality of injury care were compared.Results The study group (66 patients) and control group (260 patients) with NISS of (20.59 ±4.63)points and (20.57 ± 5.38 ) points respectively,were similar in the distribution of severity ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The emergency care time was (0.33 ± 0.03) hour in the study group,which was significantly shortened compared with (0.57 ±0.35 ) hours in the control group (P ＜ 0.01 ).The length of hospital stay was (27.64 ±29.01 ) days in the study group,which was shorter than (30.84 ± 32.87 ) days in the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ),while the length of ICU stay was (2.98 ± 5.77 ) days in the study group,longer than (2.65 ± 7.00) days in the control group (P ＞ 0.05 ).The recovery rate was significantly increased from 76.5％ to 87.9％ (P ＜0.05) and mortality was significantly decreased from 20.8％ to 9.1％ (P ＜0.05).Conclusion The study indicates that the standard first aid model can notably improve the trauma care in our hospital.

Objective To determine the half-effective target plasma concentration(EC50)of remifentanil inhibiting airway response when combined with propofol by TCI in patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Methods Forty ASAⅠorⅡ patients,aged 20-64 yr, undergoing elective fiberoptic bronchoscopy, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 20 each).Anesthesia was performed with TCI of remifentanil and propofol in both groups. The target effect site concentration of propofol was 3 μg/ml.The target effect site concentration of remifentanil was determined by up-and-down sequential hial. The target effect site concentration of remifentanil was set at 5 μg/ml in the first patient and the ratio of the target concentrations between the two consecutive patients was 1.1. BIS ≤ 60 was defined as the suitable depth of anesthesia in group A.The airway response≤grade Ⅱ was defined as the suitable depth of anesthesia in group B. The EC50 and 95% confidence interval (CI) required to inhibit the airway response were calculated in the two groups.Results The EC50 and 95% CI of remifentanil required to inhibit the airway response were 4.50μg/L (95% CI 3.88-5.36 μg/L)in group A and 4.10μg/L(95% GI 3.31-5.00 μg/L) in group B. The EC50 of remifentanil inhibiting airway response was significantly higher in group A than in group B. Conclusion The EC50 of remifentanil inhibiting airway response is 4.10 μg/L when combined with propofol by TGI (effect site concentration 3μg/ml)in patients undergoing bronchoscopy. BIS is not a suitable index assessing the depth of propofol-remifentanil anesthesia.
