1.Ezrin protein and its importance in tumor
Cancer Research and Clinic 2006;0(09):-
Ezrin protein function as molecular linker between the actin-cytoskeleton and the plasma membrane,which involves in the formation of microvilli and the maintenance of cello-morphology, movement, adhereance as well as survival, intimate studies of its structure and function have been done. At present many studies indicate that Ezrin involves in the tumor development and tumor metastasis,relate to prognosis. To study Ezrin protein in tumor will provide us other way and standard for diagnose and treatment of tumor and prognostic evaluation.

Objective To observe the effecacy of modified CHOP regimen in the initial treatment of non-Hodgkin' slymphoma (NHL) patients with low Karnofsky score.Methods Twenty initial treatment NHI.patients with low Karnofsky score were randomly allocated into treatment group and control group,respectively treated with modified and standard CHOP regimen.Results Of 13 cases in treatment group,12 pacients'Karnofsky score were over 60.1 was still below 60,overall response (OR) rate was 92.3 % (12/13).while in control group,3 patients' Karnofsky score were over 60,4 were still below 60.OR rate was 100 % (7/7),rate of marrow toxicity was 57.1 % (4/7).There were no significantly difference for OR rates (P =0.4515),but for improving Karnofsky score there were significantly difference (P =0.0149).Conclusion Modified CHOP regimen can improve Karnofsky score of NHL patients with low Karnofsky score,benefical for further treatment and reducing hospitalization cost.
