METHODS Three factors--the time needed for photosensitizer and cell incubation, the photosensitizer concentration (PhoC) and the exposure dose (ExpD)--were examined with different levels of these factors. Optical density (OD) was used as a measure of CCK-8 in the experiment, and was converted to the rate of cell survival. The separate effect of each factor on the photodynamic action was studied, and the interactions were investigated. The effects of different incubation times and PhoC levels on the fluorescence intensity (FI) of the intracellular photosensitizer were determined, and the mechanisms of these factors leading to the therapeutic effects of PDT discussed. RESULTS An increase in the photosensitizer and cell incubation time, an increase of PhoC, and enhancement of the ExpD, produced a corresponding decrease in the rate of Panc-1 cell survival after PDT (P 〈 0.05). PDT achieved its maximum lethal effects 16 h after starting the incubation, with a PhoC of 10 mg/L and an ExpD of 20 J/cm2; at these levels a synergistic interaction between PhoC and the ExpD occurred, decreasing the cell survival rate (P 〈 0.05). Neither simple administration of photosensitizer without ExpD (0 J/cm2) or illumination in the absence of PhoC (0 mg/L) affected the rate of cell survival (P 〉 0.05). With an increase of PhoC and lengthening of the incubation time, the FI of the intracellular photosensitizer accordingly increased (P 〈 0.05), and attained its maximum value at a PhoC of 10 mg/L and 36 h after the incubation. With an increase of PhoC, the FI of the photosensitizer, hematoporphyrin, in the solution increased progressively at first and then decreased (fluorescence quenching). CONCLUSION PDT with the photosensitizer hematoporphyrin has clear lethal effects on the human pancreatic cancer cell line Panc-1, but the presence of a photosensitizer and laser irradiation by themselves do not have independent lethal effects. The three influencing factors--the time for photosensitizer and cell incuba- tion, PhoC and ExpD--correlate positively with the PDT response, within certain limits. Beyond these limits, the PDT response does not significantly increase. The main mechanism of the PDT response lies in the effect of these factors on the level of the intracellular photosensitizer and the fluorescence quenching of the photosensitizer. A synergistic effect exists between PhoC and ExpD.展开更多

Methods Female Balb/C-nu-nu nude mice (or female T739 mice) were narcotized by sodium pentobarbital at a dosage of 60 mg/ kg. The stylet of the 24# venous retention needles was bent in a 5° to 7° angle at a distance of 15 mm from the needlepoint to form a circle with 2.61 mm to 3.66 mm radius when the stylet is rotated. The pipe casing was lubricated with liquid paraffin, and inserted into the bladder cavity. The drift angle stylet was inserted into the pipe casing slowly, rotated for five times, and then pulled out. A cell 6 suspension (0.1 mL) of approximately lx10 T24 cells (or BTT cells) was then injected imme&ately. Results A total of 60 T739 mice and 60 Balb/C-nu-nu nude mice were inoculated with BTT cells and T24 cells, respectively. The bladder tumor incidence and the average survival time of the tumor-bearing mice were 100% and (26.69±9.24) d and 100% and (34.59±9.8) d for the T739 mice and Balb/C-nu-nu nude mice, respectively. Conclusions Using the drift angle stylet to injure the mucous membrane of the urinary bladder can establish a stable bladder transplantable tumor model in mice.展开更多

Methods: Twenty-four cases of advanced NSCLC (stage Ill-IV) patients were treated with A regimen (DDP 35 mg/m^2 d1-3; GEM 1250 mg/m^2 d1, 8 ). The other 31 cases were treated with B (GEM 1250 mg/m^2 d1,8; NVB 25 mg/m^2 d1, 8 ). Repeat every 3 weeks for 6 courses. Results: In A regimen group, the overall response rate was 45.8% (CR + PR = 11), median response time was 5.5 months, median survival time was 11 months and 1-year survival rate was 41.7%. In B regimen group, the overall response rate was 48.4% (CR + PR = 15) and median response time, survival time and 1-year survival rate were respectively 6.5 and 10 months and 41.9%. The major toxicities were nausea/vomiting, myelosuppression in A regimen group, myelosuppression and phlebitis in B regimen group, respectively. Conclusion: A regimen and B regimen for advanced NSCLC have similar response rate (P 〉 0.05). B regimen, a two-drug combination without a platinum drug is of less toxicity and more safety than A regimen, a three-drug platinum-based regimen and is recommended to be a regimen in the first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC.展开更多
