    Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 elicits therapeutic effects in solid tumors that are coupled with the inhibition of cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in tumor cells. Aim: This study was designed to investigate the role of COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide in cell growth and apoptosis of the cultured human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Methods: We performed the MTT assay, flow cytometric analysis and cell morphology study to evaluate growth inhibition and cell apoptosis upon the action of nimesulide alone or along with doxorubicin, a common agent for the treatment of human hepatocellular carcinoma. Results: Our results showed that the treatment of HepG2 cells with more than 50 Β΅M of nimesulide suppressed COX-2 enzyme activity because of reduced PGE2 production, and then induced growth inhibition and cell apoptosis despite no alterations of COX-2 protein expression. Importantly, the combination of 50 Β΅M or 100 Β΅M of nimesulide and low concentrations (5 Β΅M to 20 Β΅M) of doxorubicin resulted in enhanced cell growth inhibition, apoptosis induction and reduced VEGF production. Conclusion: These data suggest synergistic and/or additive effects of COX-2 inhibitors and chemotherapeutic agents, and may provide the rational for clinical studies of COX-2 inhibitors on the treatment or chemoprevention of human hepatocellular carcinoma.Π£Π³Π½Π΅Ρ‚Π΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅ циклооксигСназы-2 (Π¦ΠžΠ“-2) ΠΎΠΊΠ°Π·Ρ‹Π²Π°Π΅Ρ‚ тСрапСвтичСский эффСкт ΠΏΡ€ΠΈ Π»Π΅Ρ‡Π΅Π½ΠΈΠΈ Π±ΠΎΠ»ΡŒΠ½Ρ‹Ρ… с солидными опухолями ΠΈ сопровоТдаСтся сниТСниСм ΠΏΡ€ΠΎΠ»ΠΈΡ„Π΅Ρ€Π°Ρ†ΠΈΠΈ ΠΎΠΏΡƒΡ…ΠΎΠ»Π΅Π²Ρ‹Ρ… ΠΊΠ»Π΅Ρ‚ΠΎΠΊ ΠΈ ΠΈΠ½Π΄ΡƒΠΊΡ†ΠΈΠ΅ΠΉ Π°ΠΏΠΎΠΏΡ‚ΠΎΠ·Π°.

    The Periodic Instability of Diameter of ZnO Nanowires via a Self-oscillatory Mechanism

    Get PDF
    ZnO nanowires with a periodic instability of diameter were successfully prepared by a thermal physical vapor deposition method. The morphology of ZnO nanowires was investigated by SEM. SEM shows ZnO possess periodic bead-like structure. The instability only appears when the diameter of ZnO nanowires is small. The kinetics and mechanism of Instability was discussed at length. The appearance of the instability is due to negative feed-back mechanism under certain experimental conditions (crystallization temperature, vapor supersaturation, etc)
