The results indicated that in the concentration of 10 μmol·L -1 the lead compound CAPE possessed anticancer activities against human HL 60, Bel 7402, and Hela cell lines, and two other compounds possessed potent anticancer activities against Bel 7402 and Hela cell lines.展开更多

METHODS:Twenty-four patients with metastatic or locally advanced HCC in a normal or a fibrotic liver were given systemic chemotherapy(epirubicin,cis- platin and 5-fluorouracil or epirubicin,cisplatin and capecitabine regimens).Tumor response,time to pro- gression,survival,and toxicity were evaluated. RESULTS:There were 7 women and 17 men,mean age 54±10 years;18 patients had a normal liver and 6 had a fibrotic liver(F1/F2 on biopsy).Mean tumor size was 14 cm,5 patients had portal vein thrombosis and 7 had metastasis.Patients received a median of 4 chemotherapy sessions.Overall tolerance was good. There were 5 partial responses(objective response rate =22%),and tumor control rate was 52%.Second line surgical resection was possible in two patients.Median survival was 11 mo,and 1-and 2-year overall survival rates were 50%±10%and 32%±11%,respectively. CONCLUSION:In patients with HCC in a non-cirrhotic liver,chemotherapy was well tolerated and associated with an objective response rate of 22%,including two patients who underwent secondary surgical resection.展开更多

METHODS Fuji apple extracts were tested for their anti-LS^174T-pro-liferative activities, for their effect on expression of PCNA, and ability to induce apoptosis in a LS-174T cell line. RESULTS Apple extracts inhibited LS-174T cellular proliferation in a concentration and time dependent manner. The apple extracts equivalent to a concentration of 50 mg/ml inhibited the proliferation of the LS-174T cells by 34.5±1.2% after 48 h and 47.5±1.8% after 72 h respectively. Apple extracts inhibited PCNA expression and induced apoptosis of the LS-174T cells at concentrations above 12.5mg/ml. CONCLUSION Apple extracts can inhibit PCNA expression and induction of apoptosis in LS-174T cells which may contribute to their inhibitio-ry effect on cellular proliferation.展开更多

A two-phase extraction technique was used to carry out the PIT separation process. The effects of buffer, temperature and protein on the separation were investigated. Feasible disassembly conditions were also discussed. The final purity of taxol can reach 95% or higher.展开更多

Methods A total of 2 491 patients with different kinds of cancers were enrolled in the study, in which 18 kinds of different anticancer drugs were used. A computer soft was used to get charts. ResultsThe total evaluability rate was 82.7% （2 060/2 491）. Among all agents, the efficiency rates of 5-Fu, MMC, DDP, BLM and CBP were higher than the efficiency rates of others. The response rate range of different cancer in vitro sensitivity by using MTT assay in double layer agarose were from 9.2% （biliary duct） to 37.5% （malignant lymphoma）. For colon and rectum cancer, 5-Fu, DDP, MMC and BLM were more sensitive than other anti-tumor agents. For breast carcinomas, ACTD and DDP were more sensitive. For gastric cancer, 5-Fu, DDP and BLM were more sensitive. For leukemia, VM-26 and HHRT were more sensitive. ACM was more sensitive to kidney and MXT and BLM were more sensitive to pancreas cancer. For Lung cancer, DDP and EPI were more sensitive. Mean true positive rate, mean true negative rate, mean sensitivity, mean specificity and mean accuracy were 44% , 92% , 72% , 77% , and 76% , respectively. Conclusion Chemosensitivity tesing using the MTT assay in a double layer agarose was a very useful reference to chem- therapy.展开更多
