To study the clinical and pathological characteristics and prognostic factors of primary breast diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PBDLBCL). Methods: Clinical and pathological data of 62 patients with PBDLBCL from January 2006 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for univariate analysis and the Cox regression model for multivari-ate analysis. Results: The 62 patients analyzed included women aged 26-71 years, with a median age of 47 years. Patients were fol-lowed up from 6 to 105 months; the 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 71.0%, and 5-year OS rate was 51.0%. The univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences in the clinical stage, lactic acid dehydrogenase level, International Prognostic Index score, Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression, and chemotherapy regimen at 3 and 5 years associated with OS rates. The multivariate analysis showed that Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression was an independent prognostic factor of OS. Conclusions: Comprehensive treatment with chemo-therapy and radiotherapy is appropriate for PBDLBCL. Myc/Bcl-2 protein expression is an independent adverse prognostic factor for PB-DLBCL.

Objective:To investigate the synergistic antitumor effect of pyrotinib in combination with 5-fluorouracil(5-Fu)on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2)positive breast cancer cells and its underlying molecular mechanism. Methods:HER2 positive breast cancer cells were screened by Western blotting.HER2 positive SKBR-3 and BT474 cells were treated with pyrotinib and 5-Fu individually or in combination for the following experiments.MTT assay was used to assess the effect of different drugs on the proliferation of the treated cells,and the combination index(CI)values were calculated using Combidrug software.Colony formation assay was used to evaluate the effect of different drugs on the colony-forming ability of the treated cells.FCM assay was used to analyze the effect of different drugs on the apoptosis rate and cell cycle of the treated cells.Western blotting was used to examine the effect of different drugs on the expression levels of proteins in the proliferation-and apoptosis-related signaling pathways.SKBR-3-cell-based tumor xenograft model was established using BALB/c nude mice.After treatment with pyrotinib and 5-Fu individually or in combination,the growth profiles of the xenograft tumors were recorded and the expression levels of proteins in the proliferation-and apoptosis-related signaling pathways were examined in the tumor tissues. Results:HER2 positive breast cancer cell lines SKBR-3 and BT474 were selected for further experiments after screening.The proliferation SKBR-3 and BT474 cells could be inhibited after treatment with pyrotinib and 5-Fu individually or in combination(all P<0.05).Compared with pyrotinib or 5-Fu single drug treatment,pyrotinib in combination with 5-Fu had higher inhibition rate on the proliferation of SKBR-3 and BT474 cells with a Cl value of<1,indicating the synergistic effect of pyrotinib and 5-Fu.In addition,in contrast to pyrotinib or 5-Fu single drug treatment,there was a further decrease in the number of colonies formed,increase in apoptosis rate,and increase in the percentage of G0/G,cells in SKBR-3 and BT474 cells after treatment with pyrotinib in combination with 5-Fu(all P<0.01).Animal experiment results showed that the growth rate of xenograft tumors in mice treated with pyrotinib in combination with 5-Fu was significantly slower than that of the single-drug treated mice(P<0.05).Western blotting analysis showed that the expression levels of HER2,HER4,AKT and phosphorylated ERK were significantly decreased after treatment with pyrotinib in combination with 5-Fu both in vitro and in vivo(all P<0.01),indicative of the blockage of proliferation-related signaling pathways.Meanwhile,analysis of the apoptosis-related proteins revealed a decrease in the expression levels of caspase 3,poly ADP-ribose polymerase(PARP),and Bcl-2(all P<0.01),while an increase in the expression levels of cleaved-caspase 3,cleaved-PARP,and p21(all P<0.01). Conclusion:Pyrotinib and 5-Fu had synergistical antitumor effect on HER2 positive breast cancer cells,and the underlying mechanism may be related to the blockage of proliferation-associated signaling pathways and the induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of total flavonoids of Jasminum nudiflorum (TFJN) on pancreatic islet function in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) model mice and its possible mechanism. METHODS: Totally 10 Kunming mice were included in blank group and given normal diet. Other 75 mice were included in model group and given high-lipid and high-glucose diet for 4 weeks combined with streptozotocin once via sublingual vein to induce T2DM model. After modeling, the mice were randomly divided into model group, metformin hydrochloride group (positive control, 350 mg/kg), TFJN low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (100, 200, 400 mg/kg, by crude drug), with 10 mice in each group. Blank group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically; administration groups were given relevant medicine intragastrically; once a day, for consecutive 6 weeks. The level of fasting dynamic blood glucose was measured after modeling (before medication) and 2, 4, 6 weeks after medication. The histomorphological characteristics of pancreatic tissue were observed by HE staining. The contents of serum insulin (INS), insulin cell antibody (IAA), TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, CRP, leptin (LP) and adiponectin (ADPN) were measured by ELISA. RESULTS: Compared with blank group, islet atrophy, blurred boundary, insufficient cytoplasm and smaller volume of pancreatic tissue were observed in model group. The fasting dynamic blood glucose level (at different time points after medication), the contents of IAA, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, CRP and LP were increased significantly, while the contents of INS and ADPN were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, above symptoms of pancreatic tissue in administration groups were relieved, and the fasting dynamic blood glucose level (2, 4, 6 weeks after administration in metform in hydrochloride group, 4, 6 weeks after administration in TFJN groups), the contents of IAA, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, CRP and LP were decreased signifi- cantly, while the contents of INS and ADPN were increased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: TFJN can repair the damaged pancreas of mice with T2DM, reduce the level of blood glucose, and improve the sensitivity of the body to insulin, the mechanism of which may be associated with reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors.
