Target therapy is a major progress in treatment of advanced colorectal cancer. Cetuximab and bevacizumab are the most widely used target agents in colorectal cancer, which target against EGFR and VEGF respectively. The addition of target agent to chemotherapy improve efficacy and prolong survival in the first line setting, as well as in the second line setting. The increased respectability of liver metastases from colorectal cancer is of great importance, k-ras gene mutation is a definite predictor of cetuximab, however, there is no clear predictor for bevacizumab.

High resolution melting ( HRM) analysis is a real-time PCR based technique which can detect DNA sequence polymorphism .Immediately after routine PCR with saturated fluorescent dye , melting transition of the amplicon was monitored and fluorescence was collected .According to the different melting curve, single base differences can be distinguished .HRM is a low -cost, single -step, closed -tube, accurate and rapid method , which has aroused general concern .Rapid and sensitive detection of the clinical pathogens is critical to diagnosis of infectious diseases .However , clinical research on application of HRM in infectious disease pathogen identification and drug resistance , especially melting curve analysis based bedside technology integration will provide strong support for the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases.

The development of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies (anti-EGFR McAbs) marked a significant milestone in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) treatment. The addition of anti-EGFR McAb can greatly improve quality of life of mCRC patients and mCRC prognosis and markedly increases the overall survival rate from 6 months to nearly 30 months. KRAS and NRAS mutations contribute to the primary resistance to anti-EGFR therapy and can serve as well-established predictive markers for pa-tient selection. Apart from the RAS family, other molecular alteration in EGFR signaling pathway may also compromise the efficacy of anti-EGFR treatment. In addition, patients who responded to anti-EGFR treatment eventually develop acquired drug resistance within 13 and 18 months. In this review, the mechanisms underlying the primary and secondary resistance to anti-EGFR therapy are summa-rized, and a possible strategy to circumvent drug resistance is proposed. We hope this review can provide compelling evidence, deeper insights, and reasonable guidance to facilitate the precise molecular targeted therapy of mCRC.

Objective To explore the effect of formaldehyde on learning and memory and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the cerebral tissues. Methods 40 ICR mice were randomly divided into four gropes: A-control group (NS was added into water bottle), B, C, D-three formaldehyde dose groups (0.1, 0.2, 0.4% formaldehyde solution were added into water bottles). After 30 days of treatment, the ability of learning and memory were evaluated by Morris watermaze test and step-down test and the activity of SOD in the cerebral tissues was determined. Results In the Morris watermaze test (the fifth day), escapelaten latence in group C[ (29.23?5.56)s] and D[ (37.36?7.39)s] were significantly longer than group A[ (21.65?5.81)s](P

The addition of HER2-targeted therapy has markedly improved the survival and prognosis of patients with advanced gastric cancer. Inhibiting the HER2 signaling pathway has become the backbone treatment for advanced HER2-positive gastric cancer in the first-line setting. TOGA trial established trastuzumab in combination with cisplatin and 5-flurouracil as the standard first-line treat-ment. In the post-TOGA era, combinations of trastuzumab with other chemotherapy agents were proven to be effective as both the second-line treatment and the conversion treatment. Such combinations are promising in the neoadjuvant treatment for locally ad-vanced gastric cancer. Research focuses on the development of novel anti-HER2 agents in combination with agents targeting against other signal pathways. Real-time monitoring of the gene expression profile is the key to discovering the mechanism of trastuzumab re-sistance. The preliminary results of existing clinical trials have shown potential to overcome resistance to trastuzumab. In this review, we summarized the treatment advancement for HER2 positive gastric cancer and the direction for future development, thereby provid-ing guidance on clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of dosage-escalated sorafenib in pa-tients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Methods Twelve male patients and 4 female patients with median age of 53 (37-71 years) were included in this study. They were with refractory meta-static renal-clear-cell carcinoma and received sorafenib from 800 mg/d to 1200mg/d or 1800 mg/d gradually until intolerable or disease progression occurred. Overall response rate, toxicity and progres-sion free survival (PFS) were recorded and analyzed. Results The median follow-up was 11 months (9-16 months). The overall rate of objective response and disease control rate were 44%(7/16)and 81%(13/16), respectively. Serious adverse effects (≥Grade Ⅲ) included hand-foot skin reaction (25%, 4/16), mucositis (19%, 3/16), diarrhea (19%, 3/16), hypertension (12%, 2/16) and my-elosuppression (12%, 2/16). PFS for high risk patient was 9.2 months at the end of this study. Conclusions The dosage-escalated sorafenib could obtain a high response rate and prolong PFS of high-risk patients. The toxicities are tolerable for metastatic renal cell carcinoma patients treated with sorafenib.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of sorafenib as first line treatment in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
