Blood prolidase (PLD), monoamine oxidase (MAO) and plasminogen (PLG) in silicotic rats after treatment with tetradrine-PVNO or tetradrine-QOHP were measured. The values obtained were compared with the untreated silicotic rats. It was found that the silicotic rats that received tetradrine-PVNO showed significant increase in PLD and decrease in PLG, but no significant change in MAO. The PLD in plasma of silicotic rats that received tetradrine-QOHP were elevated significantly, but PLG and MAO did not change appreciably. These findings suggest that the combined use of tetradrine-PVNO and tetradrine-QOHP can accelerate the degradation of collagen in silicotic rats展开更多

The method combines surface infrared, satellite infrared and ultraviolet channels. The width of the infrared channels is 0.01 cm-1, less than Lorentz half-width at the earth's surface, rather than the present width, because these channels can obtain information about variations in the ozone profile below the profile main-peak. The numerical experiments show that the method has a satisfactory precision in determining total ozone content, just about I percent error, and vertical distribution from the earth to 65 km space. In addition, some semi-analysis functions lor calculating backscattered ultraviolet and a relaxation equation are described in this paper.展开更多

The results showed that two combined treatment groups had more coordinative inhibition on aortic and coronary atherosclerotic lesions, as well as on platelet aggregation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and lipid peroxidation than that of single dose of PGE2. It was revealed that the coordinative mechanism might be closely related to the synergistic inhibitory function of above-metioned drugs on endothelial permeability, platelet aggregation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and lipid peroxidation.展开更多

In order to increase the therapeutical effect, we modified some steps of Rosenberg's approach a. cold digestion with collagenase at 4C for 24 hours; b. sedimentation instead of centrifugation; c. elimination of tumor cells before the cultivation procedure. Compared with the original approach, the proliferation, activity and cytotoxicity of TILs obtained by the modified procedure were much improved. TILs' expansion-old was greater than that with the original approach. Cytotoxicity against rumor cells was more potent. Increased TILs' subsets were CD3 and CD8 cells. Meanwhile, we took tumor cells from tumor tissues to test their in vitro chemosensitivities to different drugs in order to select highly sensitive antitumor drugs for treatment of cases with advanced tumors. According to the design of using highly active TILs and highly sensitive drugs (H & H therapy), preliminary clinical results of 50 cases showed higher response rates than those in treatment with TIL / IL2, LAK / 1L2 and TIL+IL2+CTX. Less toxic side effects were observed in 14 patients.展开更多
