Transforming Growth Factor-β1 Induces Apoptosis through Down-Regulation of c-mycGene and Overexpression of p27Protein in Cervical Carcinoma

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is known to be a potent growth inhibitor for many cell types, including most epithelial cells. In skin keratinocytes, TGF-β1 has been shown to inhibit growth and to rapidly reduce c-mycexpression. However, the molecular mechanism of TGF-β1 action on cell growth of cervical carcinoma has not yet been elucidated. We thus assessed the effect of TGF-β1 on the growth of cervical carcinoma cell lines. Two cervical squamous carcinoma cell lines, CUMC-3 and CUMC-6, were incubated with varying concentrations of TGF-β1, and growth inhibition was evaluated with tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay. After culture in TGF-β1 for 24 h, inhibition of growth was detected in a dose-dependent manner at concentrations of 0.1–10 ng/ml in both cell lines. This effect of TGF-β1 on cultured carcinoma cells was associated with apoptotic process including oligonucleosomal ladder DNA and apoptotic body formations. Northern blot analysis revealed c-mycmRNA expression was suppressed by 10 ng/ml of TGF-β1 following 3 h of treatment in both cell lines. Western blot analysis showed that the level of p27^Kip1protein was increased after TGF-β1 treatment in both cell lines. These results suggest that the mechanisms by which TGF-β1 inhibits the growth of cervical carcinoma are complex and may include effects on down-regulation of c-mycgene, and overexpression of p27^Kip1protein.

Long-term storage effects on canine osteochondral allografts.

We have studied long-term (to 60 days) effects of 4 degrees C storage in culture media on the histologic, mechanical, and chemical properties of the cartilage from osteochondral shell allografts from the dog. The structural integrity of the cartilage matrix was intact up to 60 days of storage, for the mechanical properties represented by the aggregate modulus and apparent permeability remained normal. These data are supported by normal safranin-O staining as well as normal glycosaminoglycan content and total collagen concentration. However, chondrocyte viability, as assessed by 35SO4 uptake and hematoxylin and eosin preparations, decreased dramatically with time. We believe that the longer storage to 60 days is not indicated, unless conditions can be modified to maintain cell viability.     

补肾中药对雄激素致不孕大鼠卵巢核仁组成区蛋白的影响

观察补肾中药对雄激素致不孕大鼠卵巢核仁组成区蛋白的影响。用ＳＤ雌性大鼠幼仔，出生９ｄ龄注射丙酸睾丸酮，制成雄激素致不孕大鼠（ＡＳＲ）模型。８０ｄ龄灌服补肾中药水溶液两周。１００ｄ龄心脏灌注处死。以核仁组成区蛋白嗜银染色（ＡｇＮＯＲ）和增殖细胞核杭原（ＰｃＮＡ）为指标，观察卵巢颗粒细胞、间质腺细胞的形态学变化。结果：补肾中药能够使ＡＳＲ卵巢颗粒细胞增殖、卵泡发育。治疗组的ＡｇＮＯＲ和ＰｃＮＡ计数明显高于模型组，而与对照组之间无显著差异。结论：补肾中药的这种作用可能是通过调节了下丘脑－垂体－卵巢性腺功能的结果，从而促使卵巢颗粒细胞发育、卵泡成熟。     

Malignant astrocytomas treated with iodine-125 labeled monoclonal antibody 425 against epidermal growth factor receptor: a phase II trial.

Twenty-five patients with primary presentation of malignant astrocytoma, astrocytoma with anaplastic foci, and glioblastoma multiforme were treated with surgical resection and definitive radiation therapy followed by intravenous or intra-arterial administration of Iodine-125 labeled monoclonal antibody-425, which binds specifically to human epidermal growth factor receptor. The patients presented with primary untreated disease, positive contrast enhanced computed tomography scans of the brain, and compatible clinical symptoms. In this Phase II clinical trial, the patients had surgical debulking or biopsy followed by definitively administered external beam radiation therapy and one or multiple doses (35 to 90 mCi per infusion) of radiolabeled antibody. The total cumulative doses ranged from 40 to 224 mCi. The administrations of the radiolabeled antibody were performed in most cases 4-6 weeks following completion of the primary surgery and radiation therapy. Ten patients had astrocytoma with anaplastic foci and 15 had glioblastoma multiforme. No significant life-threatening toxicities were observed during this trial. At 1 year 60% of the patients with astrocytoma with anaplastic foci or glioblastoma multiforme are alive. The median survival for both groups was 15.6 months.     

Effects of smoking and drinking on excretion of hippuric acid among toluene-exposed workers

Summary In order to investigate possible effects of smoking and drinking on the metabolism of toluence in occupational settings, 206 toluene-exposed men (mean age: 31.4 years) in shoemaking, painting, or surface-coating workshops together with 246 nonexposed control men (36.8 years) were studied for the time-weighted average intensities of exposure to toluene, hippuric acid concentration in shift-end urine samples, and the two social habits of smoking and drinking. The mean daily consumptions of cigarettes and ethanol were about 20 pieces and 10 g among smokers and drinkers, respectively. The geometric mean toluene concentration among the exposed subjects was about 20 ppm, with a maximum of 521 ppm. Regression analysis after classification of the subjects by smoking and drinking clearly demonstrated that the two social habits, when combined, markedly reduce the hippuric acid level in the urine of workers exposed to was a significant association between smoking and drinking habits, which hindered separate evaluation of the effects of the two habits on toluene metabolism. Comparison of the present results with the findings reported in the literature, however, suggested that the observed effects may be attributable to smoking rather than to drinking habits.     

中西医结合要为妇女生殖健康创新页

45年来,复旦大学妇产科医院在中西医结合临床及科研方面取得了可喜的成就.针刺促排卵的研究,通过观察血雌激素和中枢β-内啡肽(β-EP)的关系,提出了针刺通过耗竭中枢β-EP而促排卵的新认识,认为针刺促排卵的主要适应症是青春期月经失调,并将针刺成功地应用于治疗神经性厌食;补肾化痰的俞氏温补方治疗多囊卵巢综合征(polycystic ovary syndrome, PCOS)被证实是通过提高血促卵泡激素(follicle stimulating hormone, FSH)并诱发排卵而起作用;益肾化瘀的天癸方是通过降低患者及动物模型的雄激素和胰岛素,引起以中枢阿片促黑激素皮质素原、神经肽Y和瘦素受体为主的神经-内分泌-代谢网络调节而发挥促排卵和减肥作用,对高胰岛素型PCOS有良效,并在研究中提出了对PCOS分类的新设想;益肾清火的更年春通过提高中枢与周围组织的雌激素受体及其mRNA表达来调节围绝经期妇女的神经-内分泌-免疫-代谢网络而获优越疗效.这些研究表明,疾病是外环境影响下患者生命网络的某些主脉失调所致,而且亚健康状态的妇女具有初步网络失控的现象,中西医结合将为女性生殖医学研究找到捷径,调控生命网络是防病治病的主要思路.

神经生长因子基因转染联合强化铁营养防治豚鼠爆震性聋的实验研究

Objective To study the protective effects of adenovirus-mediated human beta-nerve growth factor gene (hNGFβ) transfer combined with iron fortified nutrition on blast hearing damage in guinea pigs. Methods Deafness was induced by blast (172dB SPL) in 35 healthy guinea pigs. Seven days after noise exposure, 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with adenovirus-mediated hNGFβ (Ad-hNGFβ) into the perilymphatic space (the gene group), another 10 guinea pigs were given hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet (the combination group), still another 10 guinea pigs were inoculated with artificial perilymphatic fluid (APF), and 5 guinea pigs served as control, given neither medicine nor noise exposure. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) threshold shifts were monitored in the guinea pigs before blast exposure and after gene transfer. Changes in cochlear morphology were examined with immunohistochemical and HE staining. Results One week after successful inoculation of hNGFβ, it was noted that Ad-hNGFβ protein was expressed in each turn of the cochlea, and its intensity was almost equal. After gene transfer in the combination group and the gene group, ABR threshold shifts at week 1 and 4 were significantly smaller than those of the APF group. HE staining showed that the number of the spiral ganglion cells in the combination group and the Ad-hNGFβ group was significantly higher than that of the control group after 4 weeks (P<0.01). Conclusions Ad-hNGFβ combined with iron fortified nutritional diet was effective in the prevention and treatment of blast hearing damage of cochlear hair cells.
