简介:目的探讨榄香烯对人喉癌Hep-2细胞生长的影响和作用机制.方法用四甲基偶氮唑盐法(methylthiazolyltetrazoliumassay,MTT)测定榄香烯对喉癌细胞的抑制作用;以透射电镜来观察其形态学变化;采用DNA末端标记法(terminaldeoxynucleotidy1transferasemediateddeoxyuridinetriphosphatenickendlabelingmethod,TUNEL)研究细胞凋亡数;用免疫组化分析bcl-2蛋白在Hep-2细胞中的表达.结果榄香烯明显抑制Hep-2细胞的生长;透射电镜观察到染色质浓缩,沿着核膜排列,形成不同形状和大小的块状;DNA末端标记法说明,凋亡细胞数随药物浓度的提高逐渐增高;免疫组化结果提示榄香烯能使Hep-2细胞bcl-2蛋白表达降低.结论榄香烯能够抑制喉癌细胞的生长,其抑制作用与细胞凋亡有关,作用机制可能与bcl-2表达降低有关.

简介:目的调查视网膜母细胞瘤(retinoblastoma,RB)患儿家长的心理健康状况。方法采用国际通用的焦虑自评量表和抑郁自评量表对121名患儿家长进行问卷调查,以国内常模作为对照。采用SAS8.0统计软件对数据进行t检验和方差分析。结果RB患儿家长的焦虑标准分(53.80±10.42)和抑郁标准分(58.90±10.89)均高于国内常模(P均〈0.0001)。双眼RB患儿家长的焦虑标准分(58.19±10.57)和抑郁标准分(62.46±11.84)明显高于单眼RB组(焦虑和抑郁值分别为51.73±9.77,57.22±10.09,P值分别为0.0083,0.0423)。患儿所处的治疗阶段不同,家长文化程度不同,家庭经济状况不同,家长的焦虑和抑郁程度也不同。结论RB患儿家长的焦虑、抑郁水平明显高于国内正常人群,提示对RB患儿家长进行心理疏导的必要性。
