1.Advance in chimeric antigen receptor-T cell immunotherapy for multiple myeloma
Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2023;36(10):1256-1262
In recent years,considerable progress has been made in the treatment of multiple myeloma(MM).However,despite the current improved prognosis of this malignancy,it always ends in relapse and therefore new therapeutic approaches are urgently needed to overcome it.The chimeric antigen receptor(CAR)-T cells targeting B cell maturation antigen(BCMA),cluster of differentiation 19(CD19),cluster of differentiation 38(CD38) and kappa light chains have been evaluated,and have achieved remarkable results in clinical trials.However,even when MM is treated with CAR-T cell therapy,most patients eventually relapse,which is the greatest limitation of this therapy.This paperreviewedthe research progress,limitations and optimization of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in the treatment of MM.
2.Mechanisms of drug resistance to gefifinib and erlotinib
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(10):734-736
Gefitinib and erlotinib are the first generation of targeted therapeutic agents approved for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Despite a dramatic initial response, most patients subsequently and ultimately become resistant to the drugs. Recent studies have proposed various mechanisms of such resistance, some of which related to a second mutation in epidermal growth factor receptor, aberrant activation of other tyrosine kinase receptors, bypassing signal pathways and constitutive activation of downstream signal molecules. Other researches also associated the drug resistance to internalization of epidermal growth factor receptor and changes in tumor microenvironment. Furture studies need to focus on overcoming or reversing resistance to the drugs and developing new targeted therapeutic agents.

China Pharmacist 2015;(11):1914-1915,1921
Objective:To explore the effects of levocarnitine adjunctive therapy on serum nutritional index and inflammatory factor level in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Methods:Totally 62 patients with hemodialysis were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 31 cases in each. The observation group was treated with 1g levocarnitine injection with intravenous in-jection after the dialysis, and the control group was treated with 0. 9% physiological saline injection with the same volume after the di-alysis. After 3-month treatment, the nutritional indices including Hb, Alb, TC, TG, LDL-C and HDL-C and the change in inflamma-tory factors including C-reactive protein (CRP), IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α of the patients in the two groups were studied and compared. Results:After the treatment, the level of Hb and Alb was improved in the observation group (P<0. 05), while the level of TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C had no significant change (P>0. 05). All of the indices showed no significant change in the control group (P>0. 05). After the treatment, the level of Hb and Alb in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0. 05). After the treatment, the level of CRP, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α was reduced in the observation group (P<0.05), while the control group had no significant changes in the indices (P>0. 05). All of the indices in the observation group was better than those in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Levocarnitine used in the treatment of patients with hemodialysis can effectively improve the nutritional status and inflammatory factors level without obvious effects on lipid metabolism, which is very important for the reduction of complication and the improvement of life quality, and worthy of clinical promotion.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(32):5883-5888
BACKGROUND:Induced pluripotent stem cel s can bypass the ethical issues of embryonic stem cel s, and become the hotspot of stem cel research. OBJECTIVE:To explore the research progress and problems of induced pluripotent stem cel s. METHODS:A retrospective analysis on the findings, research progress and problems of induced pluripotent stem cel s in recent years was performed. The Thomson Reuters Web of Science was searched for the articles related to the induced pluripotent stem cel s and p53 gene. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have conducted a lot of researches on induced pluripotent stem cel s. For example, a Japanese group is establishing the stem cel bank to provide a basis for the treatment of retinal diseases. However, the safety issues of induced pluripotent stem cel s need to be solved before routine cel treatment application, in which the functional research of related p53 gene is one of the essential concerns. The other member of p53 gene, p73 gene, also participates in the generation and differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cel s, and the in-depth studies are needed. The finding of p53 gene function wil promote the in-depth development of regenerative medicine and translational medicine.
