RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Artemisinin (ART) and its derivatives are important antimalaria agents and have received increased attention due to their broad biomedical effects, such as anticancer and anti-inflammation activities. Recently, ruthenium-derived complexes have attracted considerable attention as their anticancer potentials were observed in preclinical and clinical studies. METHODS: To explore an innovative approach in colorectal cancer (CRC) management, we synthesized ruthenium-dihydroartemisinin complex (D-Ru), a novel metal-based artemisinin derivative molecule, and investigated its anticancer, anti-inflammation, and adaptive immune regulatory properties. RESULTS: Compared with its parent compound, ART, D-Ru showed stronger antiproliferative effects on the human CRC cell lines HCT-116 and HT-29. The cancer cell inhibition of D-Ru comprised G1 cell cycle arrest via the downregulation of cyclin A and the induction of apoptosis. ART and D-Ru downregulated the expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1ß, IL-6, and IL-8. Although ART and D-Ru did not suppress Treg cell differentiation, they significantly inhibited Th1 and Th17 cell differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrated that D-Ru, a novel ruthenium complexation of ART, remarkably enhanced its parent compound's anticancer action, while the anti-inflammatory potential was not compromised. The molecular mechanisms of action of D-Ru include inhibition of cancer cell growth via cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, and anti-inflammation via regulation of adaptive immunity.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Gastroparesis is a syndrome characterized by delayed gastric emptying with associated symptoms. It was reported that the symptoms of diabetic gastroparesis had been greatly improved by transpyloric stent placement. However, the use of stents in benign conditions is considered to be contraindicated because of the increasing risk of complications, such as stent migration, reflux, perforation, bleeding, and, most importantly, new strictures caused by stent-induced tissue hyperplasia. While temporary placement of a self-expanding metallic stent (SEMC) can drastically reduce the risk of complications, few reports are available on the treatment of refractory PSG by temporary transpyloric stent. Does it have a long-term clinical effect after the stent being retrieved? CASE PRESENTATION: After accepting partial resection of the lesser curvature in another hospital, a patient developed refractory gastroparesis. The symptoms hadn't been improved after long-term drug therapy and balloon dilation therapy. Four months after surgery, a fully covered SEMC was placed by endoscopy in our hospital. Gastroparesis had been greatly improved. Two weeks later, the transpyloric stent was retrieved and the patient didn't show recurrent symptoms. Follow-ups were arranged at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year respectively, and there was no evidence of recurrence was found. CONCLUSIONS: This case indicates that temporary transpyloric SEMC is a safe, effective and less invasive alternative for post-surgical gastroparesis patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Dachengqi Decoction (大承气汤, DCQD) on morphological changes in the network of enteric nerve-interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs)-smooth muscle cells (SMC) of enteric deep muscular plexuses (DMP) in the rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). METHODS: One hundred Wistar rats of both sexes weighing 200 to 250 g were randomly divided into the control group, MODS group, and DCQD group. The morphologic changes of enteric nerve-ICC-SMC network in the DMP of intestine was observed using c-Kit and vesicular acetylcholine transporter/neuronal nitric oxide synthase immunohistochemical double-staining with whole-mount preparation technique, confocal laser scanning microscopy, and electron microscopy. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, the distribution and densities of cholinergic/nitrergic nerves and ICC in the DMP (ICC-DMP) of intestine in the MODS group were significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the network of cholinergic nerve-ICC-SMC was disrupted; and the ultrastructural features of ICC-DMP, enteric nerve, and SMC were severely damaged. After treatment with DCQD, the damage in the network of enteric nerve-ICC-SMC was significantly recovered. Compared with the MODS group, the distribution and densities of cholinergic/nitrergic nerves and ICC-DMP in the DCQD group were significantly increased (P<0.01); and the ultrastructural features of ICC-DMP, enteric nerve, smooth muscle cells were significantly recovered. CONCLUSIONS: DCQD can improve the gastrointestinal motility in MODS. The mechanism may be related to the effect of repairing the damages in the network of enteric nerve-ICC-SMC.

RESUMO

In order to examine the effects of Da-Cheng-Qi-Tang (DCQT) on gastrointestinal motility functions after abdominal surgery in humans, 33 patients with abdominal surgeries and 36 patients with cholecystectomies were divided into the DCQT and the control groups at random. Electrogastrography (EGG) and gastroduodenojejunal manometry was performed and the levels of plasma motilin were measured by radioimmunoassay. The results were as follows: (1) on the day of surgery, the ratio of EGG normal frequency in the DCQT group was higher than in the control group (P=0.0016); (2) the power of EGG in the DCQT group was higher than in the control group on the second and third days after surgeries (P=0.0011 and P=0.0215, respectively); (3) the percentage of normal bowel peristalsis was significantly higher in the DCQT group than in the control group (P<0.01); and (4) in the DCQT group, the plasma motilin level reached its peak earlier than in the control group. Our results suggest that DCQT can increase plasma motilin, enhance gastrointestinal motility, improve gastric dysrythmia, and reduce gastroparesis after abdominal surgery.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To establish a quantitative method for determination of cirsilineol in Herba Artemisiae Scopariae collected in Autumn. METHOD: Sample was extracted with methanol, and cleaned up with polyamide column. ODS column was used with methanol-acetonitrile-0.5% acetic acid solution (24:19:57) as mobile phase. Detection wavelength was 347 nm. RESULT: Cirsilineol in sample solution was well separated. Linearity of cirsilineol was good (r = 0.9998) in range of 0.1-0.8 microgram. The average recovery was 101.3%, RSD of repeatability was 3.04%. CONCLUSION: This method can be used for quality control of Herba Artemisiae Scopariae collected in autumn and its preparations.
