矮化壮苗防病剂在草坪上的应用

草坪是城市园林化的重要组成部分。随着草坪业的迅速发展，草坪管理上的养护强度和养护成本，成了突出的问题。草坪的地上部有横向生长与纵向生长之分。横向生长是指草坪水平方向的扩展，这对提高草坪的覆盖度以及恢复性起着必不可少的作用；纵向生长是指草坪垂直方向的拔...

Growth inhibition of high-intensity focused ultrasound on hepatic cancer in vivo

AIM： To investigate the damaging effect of high-intensity focused ultrasound （HIFU） on cancer cells and the inhibitory effect on tumor growth. METHODS： Hurine H22 hepatic cancer cells were treated with HIFU at the same intensity for different lengths of time and at different intensities for the same length oftime in vitro, the dead cancer cells were determined by trypan blue staining. Two groups of cancer cells treated with HIFU at the lowest and highest intensity were inoculated into mice. Tumor masses were removed and weighed after 2 wk, tumor growth in each group was confirmed pathologically.RESULTS： The death rate of cancer cells treated with HIFU at 1 000 W/cm^2 for 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 s was 3.11±1.21%, 13.37±2.56%, 38.84±3.68%, 47.22±5.76%,87.55±7.32%, and 94.33±8.11%, respectively. A positive relationship between the death rates of cancer cells and the length of HIFU treatment time was found （r = 0.96,P〈0.01）. The death rate of cancer cells treated with HIFU at the intensity of 100, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1 000 W/cm^2 for 8 s was 26.31±3.26%, 31.00±3.87%, 41.97±5.86%,72.23±8.12%, 94.90±8.67%, and 99.30±9.18%, respectively. A positive relationship between the death rates of cancer cells and the intensities of HIFU treatment was confirmed （r= 0.98, P〈0.01）. The cancer cells treated with HIFU at 1 000 W/cm^2 for 8 s were inoculated intomice ed into. The tumor inhibitory rate was 90.35% compared to the control （P〈0.01）. In the experimental group inoculated with the cancer cells treated with HIFU at 1 000 W/cm^2 for 0.5 s, the tumor inhibitory rate was 22.9% （P〈0.01）. By pathological examination, tumor growth was confirmed in 8 out of 14 mice （57.14%, 8/14） inoculated with the cancer cells treated with HIFU at 1 000 W/cm^2 for 8 s, which was significantly lower than that in the control （100%, 15/15, P〈O.05）.CONCLUSION： HIFU is effective on killing or damage of H22 hepatic cancer cells in vitro and on inhibiting tumor growth in mice ex vivo.

Perilla oil and exercise decrease expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α,plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and highly sensitive C-reactive protein in patients with hyperlipidemia

OBJECTIVE:To verify the effects of perilla oil on the regulation of blood lipid levels in patients with hyperlipidemia.METHODS:Blood was taken from patients prior to and 8 weeks following treatment with perilla oil.Different ways to test for indexes which correlate to hyperlipidemia were performed.Some indexes,which correlate with inflammation and injury to endothelial cells,were tested using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays.RESULTS:Serum lipid levels [triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)] changed significantly after 56 days of treatment.Differences were noted as early as 28 days after treatment began(P<0.05).Treatment with perilla oil showed statistically significant recovery levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C) after 28 and 56 days of treatment.Plasma lipids levels were significantly lower after 56 days of treatment(P<0.05).Perilla oil reduced blood lipid levels in patients,and the regulation of cell signaling factor levels had no adverse effects on patients' liver or kidney function,or blood routine examinations.CONCLUSION:Perilla oil treatment is safe in clinical use,can regulate blood lipid levels and protects the function of endothelial cells.
