Objective To investigate the effects of cimetidine on the red cell immune function and interleukin-2(IL-2) in rats with obstructive jaundice. Methods Sixty SD rats were divided into bile duct ligation(BDL) group, cimetidine therapy (BDLC) group and sham operation(SO) group respectively. The red cell immue function and serum IL-2 level were determined with the red cell yeast-rosttes test and radioimmunoassay respectively. Results The red blood cell C3b receptor rosette rate(RBC-C3bRR), the red blood cell immune complex rosette rate(RICR), the red blood cell C3b receptor rosette-forming excited rate(RFER) and serum IL-2 level were significantly lower in BDL group as compared with SO group, the red blood cell C3b receptor rosette-forming inhibitory rate(RFIR) in BDL group was higher than that of SO group. After 7 days’ cimetidine therapy RBCC3bRR, RICR, RFER and IL-2 became higher than those of BDL group, but RFIR was lower than that of BDL group. Conclusion Supplemental cimetidine can significantly enhance the impaired red cell immune function and IL-2 production in rats with obstructive jaundice.
Objective To investigate the protection effects of cimetidine for the immune function of patients underwent cardiac operation under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Methods From Jan. 2004 to Jan. 2005, thirty patients suffered from rheumatic cardiac valvular disease received cardiac valve replacement in our hospital, and were divided into cimetidine group and control group.The effects of cimetidine on cellular immune, fluid immune and erythrocytic immune were observed 1d before operation, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14d after operation. Results After operation,CD3,CD4,CD4/CD8, NK cell activity, Interleukin-2(IL-2), RBC-C3bRR and RBC-ICR in cimetidine group were significantly higher than those in the control group(Plt;0.01). In cimetidine group,those index began to recover on the postoperative 3 to 5 days, and return to normal level on the postoperative 7 days (Pgt;0.05). In control group, 7 and 14 days respectively. Conclusion The protective effects of cimetidine on immune function of openheart operative patients are significant.
摘要:目的:探讨复方丹参加西咪替丁治疗过敏性紫癜(HSP)临床疗效。方法:60例患儿随机分为对照组和治疗组各30例。对照组常规治疗,治疗组加用复方丹参和西咪替丁治疗。结果:治疗组总有效率为90.0%,明显高于对照组53.3%,且治疗组紫癜性肾炎(HSPN)发生率(10.0%)明显低于对照组(36.7%),Plt;0.01。结论:复方丹参加西咪替丁能提高HSP患儿疗效,减少肾损害,促进患儿病情康复。
Objective To summarize the advancement on Lewis-Selectin metastasis pathway and anti-tumor treatment of cimetidine in colorectal cancer.Methods Domestic and international publications involving Lewis-Selectin metastasis pathway and antitumor role of cimetidine in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results The expression of sialyl Lewis X (sLeX) was most significant in Lewis-Selectin metastasis pathway in colorectal cancer. Cancer cells could interact with E-selectin and P-selectin of activated vascular endothelial cells by sLeX ligand on the cell surface, thereby prompting invasion and metastasis. Cimetidine could inhibit the growth of tumor, improve immune response of the host to tumor cell, inhibit angiogenesis of tumor and metastasis. The curative effect of cimetidine on colorectal cancer patients with positive sLeX expression was better than that with negative sLeX expression. Conclusion Lewis-Selectin metastasis pathway is one of the important metastasis pathway in colorectal cancer. Cimetidine can prevent metastasis of colorectal cancer by blocking sLeX expression.
