title: [Experimental study on the antitumor effects of extracts from roots of Actinidia indochinensis in carcinoma cell lines].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe rhe effects of extracts from roots of Actinidia indochinensis on the growth inhibition in carcinoma cell lines.
  
  
  METHODS
  The growth inhibition was analyzed by MTT, cell colony and cell growth curve measurement in the stomach carcinoma SGC7901, lymphocytic leukemia L1210, lymphoid neoplasm P338D1, tumor of cervix uteri Hela, hepar carcinoma hele 7404, melanoma B16 and mouse neuroblastoma x rat glioma hybrid NG108-15 cells lines.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The growth of all tumor cells were inhibited by extracts from roots of Actinidia indochinensis in all cell lines.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results showed that extracts from roots of Actinidia indochinensis possessed the role of antitumors in cell culture.
