Objective:To explore the relationship between expressions of guococorticoid receptor(GR)? and ? mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC) of patients with polymyositis/dermatomyositis(PM/DM) and the glucocorticoid(GC) efficacy.Methods:Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to semiquantite the expressions of GR? and ? mRNA in PBMC of 18 cases of PM/DM patients sensitive to GC,10 cases of PM/DM patients resistant to GC and 20 cases of health blood donors.The levels of cortisol in sera of PM/DM patients and of health donors were detected using radioimmunoassay.Results:There was no significant difference in the levels of seral cortisol among PM/DM patients sensitive to GC, resistant to GC and the health donors.The expressions of GR? mRNA in PBMC from PM/DM patients either sensitive to GC or resistant to GC were significantly lower those that of the normal control. Moreover,the expression of GR? mRNA in PBMC of PM/DM patients resistant to GC was significantly lower than that of patients sensitive to GC. While the expression of GR? mRNA in PBMC of PM/DM patients was significantly higher than that of the normal control,there was no significant difference of the expression of GR? mRNA between PM/DM patients sensitive and resistant to GC.Conclusion:The lower expression of GR? mRNA in PM/DM patients may be related to resistance to GC therapy,whereas there is no significant role of the expression level of GR? mRNA.

BACKGROUND: Ovariectomized animals usually are employed for the study of women osteoporosis while little is known about theenergy balance of ovariectomized animals. Many previous studies showed that soy isoflavone could decrease the hyperlipemia resulted by high-fat feed, and how about the effect of soy isoflavone on the energy metabolism in ovariectomized animals?OBJECTIVE: To explore the pathologic effect of soy extract and its active components on the energy metabolism in ovariectomized rats so as to provide adequate evidences for the primary rehabilitation and prevention of type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus, disturbance of lipid metabolism as well as hypertension and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease.DESIGN: A randomized and controlled trial with the experimental animals as subjects.SETTING: Laboratory of Cell and Biochemistry in a university.MATERIALS: Ninety Wistar rats (SFP grade, license code: scxk11-00-006) were randomized into 9 groups: normal group, sham group,model group, estrogen group, high-dose soy flavone group, low-dose soy flavone group, high-dose soy extract group, low-dose soy extract group and soy polysaccharide group, with 10 rats in each group.INTERVENTION: Except the rats in normal group and sham group,the bilateral ovaries of other rats were all removed. From one week after operation, body weight and daily food intake were detected once a week.Six weeks later, the rats were killed to calculate the forage transformation efficiency, measure body length, work out the body mass index (BMI),and separate the abdominal fat and weight.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Effect of soy extract on the abdominal fat accumulation of ovariectomized rats. ②Effect of soy extract on food intake of ovariectomized rats. ③Effect of soy extract on forage transformation efficiency of ovariectomized rats.RESULTS: After ovariectomy, the food intake, body weight and BMI all raised, and the forage transformation efficiency increased, with abdominal fat accumulation. The changes of energy metabolism induced by ovariectomy were all weakened at different degrees in estrogen group, soy extract group and soy flavone group, while no influenced was found in soy polysaccharide group.CONCLUSION: The ovariectomized rats can be used as animal model of the climacteric fat women. The soy extract, with the effective component of flavonoid, can reduce the pathologic changes such as the increase of food intake, body weight and forage transformation efficiency induced by ovariectomy.

Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is one of the most important targeted drugs for lung cancer patients carrying EGFR sensitive mutations.However,almost all patients that are effective to this treatment will eventually develop secondary resistance to EGFR-TKI.The most accepted mechanisms of resistance mainly include T790M mutation,MET amplification,PIK3CA mutation,down-regulation of PTEN expression and activation of Fas-transcription factor-κB.Recent years,many new drugs are developed to overcome this resistance.Although most of drugs are in the stages of cell or animal experiment,some new drugs get positive clinical results.

EGFR-TKI plays an important role in the treatment of non-small-cell lung cancer. However, some researchers find that there are still some patients with primary or acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. The present known mechanisms of acquired drug resistance finally lead to the re-activation EGFR downstream signa-ling pathways. Liver X receptor agonist has inhibition function to several critical steps of EGFR downstream sig-naling pathways PI3K-Akt-NF-κB,which makes it possible to overcome the drug resistance.
