ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effect and safety of using recombinant tissue type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) in early lower extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after gynecological surgeries. Methods Twenty-five cases with early DVT after gynecological operation were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups,contorl group (n = 13) and the rt-PA therapy group (n = 12). The patients from contorl group were treated with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins Calcium 0. 4 ml/d alone, and the rt-PA group accepted rt-PA 100 mg i. v in addition to the Low-Molecular-Weight Heparins Calcium. The recanalization rates of lamb veins,prothrombin time (PT) ,bleeding event and other adverse complications were observed and evaluated at day seven. Results The recanalization rates of lamb veins were 91. 7% (11/12) and 53. 8 % (7/13) in rtPA and the control group respectively,which showed significant difference between each other (x2 = 15. 68, P 0. 05). Two patients with vaginal stump bleeding were healed by local hemostasis. Conclusion The usage of rt-PA could improve the recanalization rate of DVT after gynecological surgery. The rates of adverse complications, including vaginal stump bleeding,were extremly low.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the role of COX-2 and VEGF in oncongensis and development of gestation-al trophoblastic disease,and evaluate prognosis of gestational trophoblastic tumor. Methods The expression of COX-2 and VEGF in normal chorion of early gestation and in gestational trophoblastic disease were detected by immunohis-tochemistry. Results In gestational trophoblastic tumor group,the positive rate of COX-2 and VEGF were significantly highter than that of normal chorion of early gestation group and the hydatidiform mole group respectively ( P < 0.01). There were positive correlation between COX-2 and VEGF in gestational trophoblastic tumor ( r = 0.795, P < 0.01). Conclusion The collaborative and over expression of COX-2 and VEGF were probably associated with the malignant change of trophoblastic cell,which suggest the worse prognosis of the gestational trophoblastic disease.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the protective effects of pentoxifylline on gastric mucosal injury in rats with endotoxemia. Methods 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups : sham operated control group (C group) ,LPS group and PTX group. The serum tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) levels in each group were measured. The immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of the ICAM-1 in the gastric mucosal tissues. Results The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum in LPS group were higher than those in C group (P <0.01). The level of ICAM-1 in the gastric mucosal tissues in LPS group was higher than those in sham operated control group(P < 0.01). After FIX treatment, the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in serum in PTX group were lower than those in LPS group(P < 0.01) and the level of ICAM-1 in the hepatic tissues in PTX group was also lower than those in LPS group(P <0.01). Conclusions TNF-α,IL-1β and ICAM-1 take part in the progress of gastric mucosal inju-ry in rats with endotoxemia. PTX can eliminate the gastric mueesa injury and protect the gastric mucosal tissues by downregulating the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and ICAM-1.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of arsenic trioxide(As_2O_3) on reactive oxygen species(ROS) of human hepatocellular carcinoma cell(HCC) line.Methods The MTT method was used to evaluate the influence of As_2O_3 on proliferation of HCC.ROS was detected by flow cytometry.Results As_2O_3 could obviously decrease the proliferation rate of HCC cell line in dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.The analysis of flow cytometry showed As_2O_3 could obviously increase ROS in dose-dependent and time-dependent manner as well.Conclusion As_2O_3 can inhibit the proliferation of hepatic cell carcinoma SMMC-7721 cell line significantly,and the anti-tumours mechanism of arsenic trioxide may be that it could induce SMMC-7721 cell apoptosis by increasing ROS level.
