ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To study the in vitro uptake of Resibufogenin(RBG)lactic acid glycolic acid copolymer-water solu-ble vitamin E (PLGA-TPGS) in human liver cancer HepG2 cells,mouse ascites-type lymphatic metastasis of tumor HCa-F cells, and the toxicity on HepG2 cells. METHODS:RCPTN loading RBG and coumarin-6(C6)were prepared. Fluorescent inverted mi-croscope was used to observe the in vitro uptake by RCPTN HepG2,HCa-F cells. It was divided into negative control group,blank PLGA-TPGS nanoparticles(EPTN)group,5-fluorouracil solution(FS)group,RBG solution(RS)group,RBG/PLGA nanoparti-cles(RPN)group and RPTN group. WST-1 was conducted to investigate the optical density at 450 nm wavelength of HepG2 cells after 24,48,72 h incubated by FS,RS,RPN and RPTN with different final concentrations (1.25,2.5,5,10,20 μg/mL);the cell viability (CV) and half inhibitory concentration (IC50) were calculated. RESULTS:RCPTN distributed around the nucleus of HepG2,HCa-F cells. CV was decreased by RBG concentration increased in RPN group and RPTN group,and decreased by time prolonged;compared with FS group,CV in RPTN group was decreased(PFS>RPN>RPTN;IC50 incubated by RPN and RPTN for 48,72 h was obviously less than that of FS and RS(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:RPTN can deliver RBG in-to HepG2,HCa-F cells,showing inhibition effect on HepG2 cells which is stronger than RPN,RS and FS.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of Quercetin (QT)-loaded PLGA-TPGS nanoparticles (QPTN) on solid tumor-bearing mice with HCa-F hepatocarcinoma in vivo.Methods The model of HCa-F hepatocarcinoma solid tumor-bearing mice was established by implanting HCa-F cells into 48 mice.The mice were divided into 6 groups randomly:the negative control,empty PLGA-TPGS nanoparticles,5-Fluorouracil solutions (FS),Quercetin solutions (QTS),QT-loaded PLGA nanoparticles (QPN),and QPTN groups.Each group was treated using tail vein twice a day for 20 days;then,all mice were sacrificed.The increment tumor volumes and tumor growth inhibition rate were counted.Then,tumor specimens were prepared for hematoxylin & eosin (HE) staining and observed under a microscope.Results The results showed that the increment tumor volumes of mice in the QPTN,QPN,and FS groups were significantly smaller than that in the negative control group (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The tumor growth inhibition rate of the QPTN group was 59.07％,which was much higher than that of the QTS group (23.94％),the FS group (35.14％),and the QPN group (46.14％).The results of the HE staining on the tumor sections also indicated that the QPTN group showed a better therapeutic outcome compared to the other groups.Conclusion The QPTN has a better therapeutic effect on the model of solid tumor using HCa-F cells-bearing mice than the QPN,QTS,and FS.
ABSTRACT
Objective By using lung sound spectrum analysis, the clinical efficacy of asthma -relieving manipulation, which is a gentle massage therapy mainly on the acupoints, on acute exacerbation of children asthma was evaluated. Methods We collected the lung sound of 11 children with acute asthmatic attack before and after asthma-relieving manipulation, and then input to the computer for obtaining lung sound spectrum signal data. The sound intensity, average respiratory muscle strength ( RMS) power, total RMS power and the volume of every 25 Hz frequency spectrum were extracted for comparison. Results After asthma-relieving manipulation, the sound intensity, average RMS power, and total RMS power of the children with acute asthmatic attack were significantly lower than those before the manipulation (P0.05). Conclusion Lung sound spectrum analysis can be applied to monitor lung function of asthmatic children objectively and quantitatively, and it is a new sensitive method for clinical detection. Asthma-relieving manipulation shows certain effect on acute exacerbation of children asthma.
ABSTRACT
Since the children were born,their yin-yang balance in their body began.Children’s yin-yang balance is the yang taken a dominant role in yin-yang balance."Shaoyang for the pivot" is the core of "Shaoyang doctrine"theory.It is very proper to explain the children’s yin-yang balance with the state of continuous transporting and changing by the theory of "Shaoyang for the pivot".Along with "mutual promotion of growth between yin and yang",new yin yang balance continuously replace the old one,constructing children’s basic physical characteristic of "full of vigor and vitality,rapid development;viscera is delicate and organs function is not perfect".Meanwhile it is very proper to explain the pathological characteristics "easy incidence,rapid changing;viscera qi clean and full of spiritualism,easy rehabilitation".So "Shaoyang doctrine" can cover "pure yang doctrine" and "immature yin and yang theory".
