Abstract:Objective
To study the effects of the cotreatment of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and Smac over-expression on proliferation and apoptosis of hepatocellular carcinoma cells,SMMC-7721,and provide an experimental basis for the Smac-based tumor gene therapy and the development of cadmium as the antihepatoma drug.Methods SMMC-7721 were divided into five groups,which were control,pcDNA3.1+,pcDNA3.1+-hSmac,single CdCl2-treated and CdCl2 plus Smac groups respectively. The cells in control group had no transfection or CdCl2 treatment,while those in pcDNA3.1+ and pcDNA3.1+-hSmac groups were transfected with null vector pcDNA3.1+ or pcDNA3.1+-hSmac respectively through lipofectamine-mediated method,and those in CdCl2-treated groups were exposed to CdCl2 at the concentration of 10,20 and 30  μmol·L-1 respectively,and those in CdCl2 plus Smac groups were transfected with pcDNA3.1+-hSmac firstly,and then treated with CdCl2 after transfection for 24 h.MTT assay was used to determine the effect of Smac over-expression and CdCl2 on proliferation,and both AO/EB fluorescence staining and FCM with Annexin Ⅴ and PI double-staining methods for apoptosis.Results The  MTT results showed that compared with control group,except for  the null-vector pcDNA3.1+ group,the inhibitory rates in the rest groups were increased significantly (P<0.01 or P<0.001).In  single CdCl2-treated groups,the inhibitory rate was increased with the increasing of treatment doses,whereas,each Smac coupled group presented significantly higher inhibitory rate than the corresponding single CdCl2-treated group (P<0.001).AO/EB staining manifested that the  cells in control group were in good condition,while those in pcDNA3.1+-hSmac,30  μmol·L-1 CdCl2 treatment,and CdCl2 plus Smac groups appeared the  morphological changes of apoptosis,especially in the last group.Furthermore,the results acquired by FCM showed that the apoptotic rate in pcDNA3.1+-hSmac group was increased significantly when compared with control and pcDNA3.1+ groups respectively (P<0.001).However,the apoptotic rate in CdCl2 pluse Smac group was the highest,which was significantly higher than that in single 30  μmol·L-1 CdCl2-treated group (P<0.001).Conclusion CdCl2 has cytotoxicity to SMMC-7721 cells.It could inhibit cellular proliferation in a dose-dependent manner,and induce apoptosis.Smac over-expression  could inhibit cellular proliferation and slightly induce apoptosis independently.

Objective To compare the anesthetic effects between sufentanil based total intravenous anesthesia and epidural anesthesia with ropivacaine in conserving operation for breast cancer. Methods Thirty-eight ambulatory adult female patients in ASA ⅠorⅡphysical statuses scheduled for breast operation were randomly divided into two groups. Nineteen cases adopted sufentanil based total intravenous anesthesia (sufontanil group)and others were treated with ropivacaine based  epidural anesthesia(ropivacaine group). The systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),heart rate (HR ),respiratory rate (RR),tidal volume (TV),oxyhemoglobin saturation (SpO2),pH,partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2)were detected  before anesthesia (t0),15 min after anesthesia (t1),the beginning of operation (t2), 1 h after anesthesia (t3),the end point of operation (t4).The application of ephedrine and atropine and the revive time were recorded. Results① Comparison in each group:compared with t0,SBP  at t1,t2,t3 and t4 points were decreased significantly(P<0.05);and DBP  at t1,t2 and t3 time points were decreased(P<0.05) in two groups. In ropivacaine group,HR showed a decline trend  at t1,t2 and t3 time pints compared with  t0 (P<0.05);and in sufentanil group,HR showed a decline trend at t1 and t3 compared with  t0 (P<0.05). Both in two groups,compared with t0,SpO2  showed no significant difference at four time points. At t3 and t4 time points,PaO2 was increased significantly(P<0.05),while pH was decreased(P<0.05). At t2 and t2 time points,PaO2 were increased significantly in ropivacaine group(P<0.05),and PaCO2 were increased significantly in two groups at t1,t2,t3 and t4 time points(P<0.05). Compared with t0,TV were increased at t2,t3 and  t4 in two groups,and TV was also increased in sufentanil group at t1,while RR were decreased significantly at t1,t2,t3 and t4 time points in two groups(P<0.05). ②Compared with  ropivacaine group: higher SBP and PaO2 were found in sufentanil group at t2 time point (P<0.05),and HR were also increased in sufentanil group at t2 and t3 time points. The rate of HuoNa’s levy in ropivacaine group was higher than that in sufentanil group. Other indexes were not significantly different. Conclusion  The two anesthesia methods have a similar blood gas analysis results;compared with epidural anesthesia with ropivacaine,sufentanil based total intravenous anesthesia shows a lower rate of complication and tiny homodynamic changes. Sufentanil can be used in breast conserving operation for breast cancer safely.
