METHODS Morphological changes in human esophageal carcinoma Eca 109 cells after treated with 5 fluorouracil (5 FU) were observed under light and electron microscope. Expression of ICE in the tumor cells exposed to 5 FU was examined by the immunocytochemical method. RESULTS The cells treated with 5 FU displayed disappearance of nucleoli, chromatin gathering under nuclear envelope, karyorrhexis, budding and the formation of apoptotic bodies. The expression of ICE was negative in control cells, and 5 FU could induce the ICE expression in Eca 109 cells undergoing apoptosis. The number and the staining intensity of positive cells increased with the extension of action time. CONCLUSION 5 FU may induce apoptosis in human esophageal carcinoma Eca 109 cells; ICE gene may be involved in the regulation of 5 FU induced apoptosis; and ICE protein may mediate apoptosis induced by 5 FU.展开更多

The resulting copolymers were characterized by IR, ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR and GPC. The molecular weight （Mn） of the copolymer with molar feed ratio of 10：90 （ATMC：DTC） was 9300 and the polydispersity was 1.31, while the Mn increased to 14300 and polydispersity of 1.25 with the feed ratio of 50：50.
