METHODS: A surgical orthotopic implantation (SOI) model was established by suturing small pieces of SW1990 pancreatic carcinoma into the tail of pancreas in nude male mice. Mice then received either single therapy (n = 24) or combined therapy (n = 32). Mice receiving single therapy were randomly divided into control group, G100 group receiving 100 mg/kg gemcitabine IP on d O, 3, 6 and 9 after transplantation, and T30 group receiving 30 mg/kg TNP-470 s.c on alternate days for 8 wk. Mice receiving combined therapy were randomly divided into control group, T15 group, G50 group and combination group (TNP-470 30 mg/kg and gemcitabine 50 mg/kg). Animals were killed 8 wk after transplantation. Transplanted tumors, liver, lymph node and peritoneum were removed. Weight of transplanted tumors, the T/C rate (the rate of mean treated tumor weight to mean control tumor weight), change of body weight, metastasis rate, and 9-wk survival rate were investigated. Tumor samples were taken from the control group, T30 group, G100 group and combination group. PCNA index (PI) and microvessel density (MVD) were investigated by immunohistochemical staining for PCNA and factor VIII, respectively. RESULTS: There was a significant inhibitory effect on primary tumor growth of pancreatic carcinoma in G100 group, compared to T30 group, whereas tumor metastasis was significantly inhibited in T30 group compared to G100 group. There was no significant improvement in survival rate in these two groups. No significant inhibitory effect on tumor growth and metastasis in T15 group and G50 group. However, significant anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects were observed in the combination group with a significant improvement in survival rate. The inhibitory effect on tumor growth in combination group enhanced 2 times in comparison with G50 group and 5 times in comparison with T15 group. Moreover, 25% of the animals hearing tumors were cured by the combination therapy. The levels of MVD and PI were 14.50±5.93 and 0.41±0.02,12.38±1.60 and 0.30±0.07, 7.13±2.99 and 0.37±0.03, and 5.21±1.23 and 0.23±0.02 respectively in the control group, G100 group, T30 group and combination group. A significant inhibitory effect on PI level and MVD level was observed in G100 group and T30 group respectively whereas both MVD and PI levels were significantly inhibited in the combination group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Antiangiogenic therapy shows significant anti-tumor and anti-metastatic effects, and is helpful to reduce the dosage of cytotoxic drugs and the side effects. These effects are related to the antiangiogenic effect of TNP-470 and cytotoxic effect of gemcitabine.展开更多

A chaotification theorem for discrete Lagrange systems is established. The controlled systems are proved to be chaotic in the sense of Devaney. In particular, the systems corresponding to the original systems and designed controllers are only required to satisfy, some mild assumptions.展开更多

Under layer control, the log data from several wells （or all wells） in the study area and seismic trace data adjacent to the wells are input to a network with multiple inputs and outputs and are integratedly trained to obtain an adaptive weight function of the entire study area. Integrated nonlinear mapping relationships are built and updated by the lateral and vertical geologic variations of the reservoirs. Therefore, the inversion process and its inversion results can be constrained and controlled and a stable seismic inversion section with high resolution with velocity inversion, impedance inversion, and density inversion sections, can be gained. Good geologic effects have been obtained in model computation tests and real data processing, which verified that this method has high precision, good practicality, and can be used for quantitative reservoir analysis.展开更多
