Effect of iron on the proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cells in vitro
To investigate the effect of iron on the cell proliferation of lung adenocarcinoma cell, A549 cells were respectively treated with chloride ferric (FeCl3) and/or deferoxamine (DFO) at different concentrations, the viable cell number and cell viability were analyzed in each group at 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, respectively. After A549 cells were respectively treated with FeCl3 at different concentrations, the viable cell...

Transcription factors and target genes relationship based method reveals potential thermal injury related genes
Thermal injury to the skin can induce local and systemic perturbations that are costly in terms of human suffering as well as in strains on the health care system. We used the GSE8056 microarray data to identify potential genes related to burn wound to construct a regulation network. In the network, some of transcription factors (TFs) and target genes have been proved that are related to burn wound in previous study. We...

An in vivo study on the diuretic activity of Holarrhena antidysenterica
Holarrhena antidysenterica is used as diuretic in traditional medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the crude extract of H. antidysentrica seeds (Ha.Cr) and its fractions, n-hexane (Ha.Hx), n-butanol (Ha.Bu) and aqueous (Ha.Aq), for their diuretic effect in Wistar rats and to investigate whether the activity is concentrated in any of the fractions. Wistar rats kept on fasting for 24 h with...

Protective effect of Naoshuning in a rat brain ischemia-reperfusion damage model
To evaluate the protective effects of Naoshuning Chinese traditional medicine on the brain ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats and explore the possible mechanism of IR injury, rats were divided into 4 groups: sham-operation group, model group as negative control group, Naoshuning group as treatment group and ginaton group as positive control group. The brain IR model was established in rats. Reperfusion was carried...

Curative effects by different chemotherapeutic measures pertaining to Methotrexate on unruptured ectopic pregnancy
The aim of this study was to investigate curative effects by different chemotherapeutic measures involving the use of Methotrexate (MTX) on unruptured ectopic pregnancy. Between January 2001 and April 2004, a total of 164 patients with unruptured ectopic pregnancy were treated. They were randomly divided into four groups. In Group I, 50 mg/m2 of MTX was administered 3 times every...

Effect of Xingnaojing on somatostain and arginine vasopressin in rats with vascular dementia
To explore the effect of Xingnaojing on the somatostain and arginine vasopressin in a rat vascular dementia model, a total of 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham group (S), vascular dementia group (VD) and Xingnaojing group (XNJ). The memory was measured by Morris water maze test before operation and before and after Xingnaojing treatment. Treatment was performed for 15 days, and...

Effects of Citrus aurantium extract on spermatogenic cell density, antioxidant activity and testosterone level in male mice
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Citrus aurantium extract on sperm characteristics, spermatogenic cell density, antioxidant activity and testosterone level of male mice. Twenty-eight adult male Balb/C mice were divided into four groups; each having seven mice. Two milliliter distilled water, C. aurantium extract with low concentration (0.01 mg/kg), medium concentration (0.02...

Bevacizumab in combination with taxotere, carboplatin and herceptin (TCH) chemotherapy for targeted therapy of advanced-stage breast cancer: A case study
A 45-year-old woman visited our department due to enlargement and ulceration of the right breast. Core needle biopsy and pathological examination revealed invasive ductal carcinoma of right breast (grade II). Immunohistochemistry showed that tissues were negative for estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), but positive for epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (Her-2) (+++) and vascular endothelial...

Investigation of the pharmacokinetics of a novel sustained release metformin hydrochloride suspension with ion exchange resin as carriers in beagle dogs
A novel metformin hydrochloride sustained-release suspension containing ion exchange resin as carriers have been reported in a previous study. In the present study, the pharmacokinetics of this sustained-release suspension in beagle dogs was investigated. A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established to detect the amount of metformin hydrochloride in vivo. The pharmacokinetics parameters of...
