Value of dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT on the efficacy evaluation of small cell lung cancer / 肿瘤研究与临床

Objective To discuss the value of dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT on the efficacy evaluation of small cell lung cancer (SCLC).Methods A total of 18 patients with SCLC confirmed by pathology who received cisplatin plus etoposide chemotherapy between June 2016 and June 2018 in the 8th Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital were collected.All patients received 320 row CT perfusion scan at 3 time points before chemotherapy,after 2 cycles and 4 cycles of chemotherapy.Tumor size,perfusion pseudo color map and bronchial arterial blood flow (BF),pulmonary flow (PF) and perfusion index (PI) were obtained.The efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated.The single factor analysis was used to make the group comparison.Pearson test was used to make correlation analysis.Results Two patients after 2 cycles of chemotherapy had complete remission (CR),another 2 patients after 4 cycles of chemotherapy had CR,and 3 patients of the above 4 cases with CR had abundant BF;after 4 cycles of chemotherapy,7 cases had partial remission (PR),6 cases had stable disease (SD),1 patient had progression of disease (PD).Dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT showed that 10 cases had the tumor area ＜ 15 cm2 and 8 cased had the tumor area ＞15 cm2 before the treatment.There was a negative correlation between PI and the tumor area (r =-0.694,P =0.026) on patients with the tumor area ＜ 15 cm2 before the treatment,and no correlation was found in patients with tumor area ＞15 cm2 (P ＞ 0.05).One case had Ⅳ degree of bone marrow suppression,and obvious adverse reactions were not seen in the rest of the patients.Conclusion Dual-input perfusion of 320 row CT based on the simple imaging can make an accurate quantitative judgement of the effect of SCLC according to perfusion parameter,which provides a new basis for curative effect evaluation on SCLC.

Fusion expression and identification of angiostatin and endostatin in E. coli BL21(DE3) / 生物医学工程学杂志

Angiostatin(AS) and endostatin(ES) are both potent endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors, and the combination of AS and ES has been shown to have synergistic antiangiogenic effects. Here we report the fusion protein AS-ES expressed in E. coli which has antiangiogenic effects. At first, AS and ES genes were cloned respectively through RT-PCR, then fusion gene was made through gene splicing ,finally pET-42 (b)/AS-ES expression plasmid was constructed and transduced in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Target protein was in form of inclusion body,the rate of expression was about 14%, and MW about 65KD. Western blotting assay showed expressed protein had specific immune reaction to both the antibodies of AS and ES. The expressed protein which was refolded and purified through heparin affinity chromatography had antiangiogenic effect to vessels on chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane. The results show that fusion protein AS-ES was expressed successfully in E. coli, and the expressed protein,which was renatured and purified, had immuno-reactivity to anti-AS and anti-ES in Western blotting and angiogenesis inhibition activity.

Effect of melatonin on blood pressure and aortic relaxation and contraction activity from hypertensive rats / 中国药理学通报

AIM To observe the hypotensive effect of melatonin (MT) on two-kidney one-clip renal hypertensive (2K1C) rats and to explore its aortic mechanism. METHODS 2K1C rats were obtained by narrowing the left kidney artery; systolic blood pressure was measured by use of tail-cuff method; vascular actions of MT were measured using isolated blood vessel method. RESULTS MT reduced blood pressure of 2K1C rat significantly 〔(23.45?2.40) kPa versus (19.81?2.78) kPa, P
