沙利度胺治疗肝癌的实验研究

目的研究沙利度胺对肝癌的治疗作用。方法采用小鼠肝癌移植性模型。观察沙利度胺对实体型和腹水型肿瘤的治疗作用。结果沙利度胺按每日200mg／kg连续给药10d，能明显抑制肝癌实体型肿瘤的生长，不降低小鼠血细胞数及淋巴细胞增殖；对腹水型肿瘤小鼠虽无明显生命延长作用，但沙利度胺与阿霉素联合用药对肝癌实体型及腹水型均有协调抗肿瘤作用，且可阻止阿霉素造成的小鼠血细胞减少、免疫功能降低。沙利度胺日剂量200mg／kg能明显增加肿瘤组织坏死，促进肿瘤组织边缘淋巴细胞侵润。结论沙利度胺对小鼠肝癌有确切治疗作用，与阿霉素联合用药效果更好。

高原地区Hp相关性胃癌前病变患者血清6种细胞因子水平的变化

目的:观察青海高原地区幽门螺杆菌(Hp)相关性胃癌前病变患者血清Th1/Th2细胞因子(IL-1β、IL-2、IL-4、IL-6、IL-8、TNF)水平变化,以探讨其在发病中的可能免疫致病机制。方法:应用放免法(RIA)测定25例慢性萎缩性胃炎(CAG)、17例肠化生(IM)、15例异型增生(Dys)患者血清IL-1β、IL-2、IL-4、IL-6、IL-8、TNF的含量。比较Hp感染与非感染胃癌前病变患者之间;Hp感染CAG炎症活动与非活动患者之间;Hp感染CAG、IM、Dys患者之间血清6种细胞因子含量的差别。结果:Hp感染与非感染胃癌前病变患者之间6种细胞因子含量均无显著性差别(P>0.05);Hp感染CAG炎症活动者血清IL-4含量显著低于非活动者(P<0.05);IM和Dys者均非常显著低于CAG(P<0.01),IL-2在Dys组显著高于CAG(P<0.05)。结论:本地区Hp相关性胃癌前病变中存在血清Th1/Th2失衡,表现为随着胃癌前病变的逐级加重,T淋巴细胞高表达IL-2伴随IL-4低表达现象。

Electrophysiologic evaluation of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy. A single fiber and quantitative EMG study

A 16-year-old boy, the only affected member of the family, noticed early onset contracture of the elbows, and developed slowly progressive humeroperoneal weakness and atrophy, and bilateral equinus. The severe restriction of the forward flexion of the neck and thoracolumbar spine, resembled a rigid spine syndrome. An electrocardiogram showed atrioventricular conduction abnormalities. Muscle biopsy was consistent with mild myopathy. The overall conventional findings of a detailed electromyographic study in the limbs and erector trunci muscles, as well as the results of conduction velocity, automatic analysis of the voluntary pattern and single fiber electromyography studies were consistent with myopathy, although some atypical findings were found. The controversy about neurogenic and myopathic features in Emery-Dreifuss disease is discussed. The unspecific value of the flexion limitation of the spine, and the uncertain nosological position of the rigid spine syndrome are also commented.     

血浆三种维生素检测对急性胰腺炎的临床价值

Cytotoxic lipid esters from Peucedanum ledebourielloides

Two cancer cell growth inhibitory esters, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-3-glucosyl glycerol (1) and 1,6-dihydroxy-hexane-bis-palmitoyl ester (2), together with arachidic acid-2-hydroxy-glycerol ester, daucosterol, and oleanolic acid, were isolated from the roots of Peucedanum ledebourielloides (Apiaceae family). The structures were determined by spectroscopic analyses. The esters 1 and 2 displayed significant activity against the SGC-7901, HT-29, and HL-60 cancer cell lines.     

Induction of apoptosis in human hepatocarcinoma SMMC-7721 cells in vitro by flavonoids from Astragalus complanatus

Aim of the study

Flavonoids extracted from the seeds of Astragalus complanatus R.Br. reduce the proliferation of many cancer cells. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of these flavonoids from Astragalus complanatus (FAC) on human hepatocarcinoma cell viability and apoptosis and to investigate its mechanisms of action in SMMC-7721 cells.

Materials and methods

Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay. To detect apoptotic cells, SMMC-7721 cells treated with FAC were stained with Hoechst 33258 and subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis. Quantitative detection of apoptotic cells was performed by flow cytometry. The effects of FAC on apoptosis and cell cycle regulatory genes and proteins in SMMC-7721 cells were examined using an S series apoptosis and cell cycle gene array and Western blot analysis.

Results

The growth of SMMC-7721 and HepG2 cells was inhibited by treatment with FAC. Cell death induced by FAC was characterized by nuclear condensation and DNA fragmentation. Moreover, the cell cycle was arrested in the G0/G1 and S phases in FAC-treated SMMC-7721 cells. A sub-G1 peak with reduced DNA content was also formed. The activity of caspase-3 was significantly increased following FAC treatment. Microarray data indicated that the expression levels of 76 genes were changed in SMMC-7721 cells treated with FAC: 35 genes were up-regulated and 41 were down-regulated. Western blot analysis showed that caspase-3, caspase-8, Bax, P21, and P27 protein levels in SMMC-7721 cells were increased after 48 h of FAC treatment, while cyclinB1, cyclinD1, CDK1, and CDK4 protein levels were decreased.

Conclusions

These results suggest that FAC may play an important role in tumor growth suppression by inducing apoptosis in human hepatocarcinoma cells via mitochondria-dependent and death receptor-dependent apoptotic pathways.
