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.Determination of the antibacterial agent content of compound dexamethasone acetate cream and its antibacterial effect evaluation
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2016;36(4):186-188
Objective To establish a HPLC method to determine the antiseptics in compound dexamethasone acetate cream and evaluate the usage rationality of antimicrobial preservatives. Methods The content of ethyl hydroxybenzoate was calculated by external standard with HPLC.The effectiveness of antimicrobial preservatives was measured according to the preservative effectiveness test in ChP(2015edition) by inoculating 5 kinds of test microorganisms including Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli,Staphylococcusaureus,Candida albicans and Aspergillusniger.Results The linear ranges of ethyl hydroxybenzoate was 6.63-132.6 μg/mL ( r =0.999 7 ) .The average recoveries was 99.2%.The samples from different batche had different antimicrobial effectiveness due to the content of ethyl hydroxybenzoate.Conclusion The described method can be used in the determination of the preservatives of ethyl hydroxybenzoate in compound dexamethasone acetate cream.At present the use of antibacterial agent is arbitrary, it is necessary to strengthen research and supervision.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(27):2104-2107
Objective To interview the work feelings of the Middle youth patients with peritoneal dialysis. Methods Using the purposive sampling method, 11 patients were interviewed, and analyzed the content of the interview. After the interview, data were transcribed and extracted the keywords. Results Eight keywords were extracted, the patients had four positive feelings:self-perceived burden relived;more social support; more glad, negative feelings relived; peritoneal dialysis could be sure. 4 negative themes were extracted:tedious;had economic pressure;lack of self-realization;could not take the family burden. Conclusions Work can improve the living conditions of middle youth patients with peritoneal dialysis. More patients should be encouraged to return to work.
4.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.

6.The diagnostic and prognostic value of chromogranin A and synaptophysin in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Chinese Journal of Digestion 2012;32(1):29-32
Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of chromogranin A (CgA) and synaptophysin (Syn) in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET).MethodsThe data of sixty-six GEP-NET patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were collected between Jan.2003 and May 2009.The expression of CgA and Syn in the tissue of GEP-NET was detected by immunohistochemistry, and its association with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of GEP-NET were analyzed.Results In these 66 patients,the positive rate of Syn (87.9%,58/66) was higher than that of CgA (71.3%,47/66,x2 =5.63,P=0.02).CgA and Syn were simultaneously expressed in 64.6% patients (42/66).In the tissues of GEP-NET,the expression of CgA was related with lymph node metastasis and TNM stages,not related with patients' gender,age,tumor location,function,degree of differentiation,tumor size,infiltration and distant metastasis. Syn was not related with all the above clinicopathological parameters.Three-year survival rate in CgA negative group (47%) was significantly lower than that in positive group (78%,x2 =0.00,P=0.01).ConclusionsSyn was more sensitive than CgA in the diagnosis of GEP-NET.CgA in some extent indicates the prognosis of GEP-NET.
7.Molecular mechanism of G2 phase cell cycle arrest in tumor cells
Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(3):186-189
The formation and progression of tumor is inseparable from the changes of cell cycle regulatory proteins.The G2-M period block effect of tumor cells is especially important in slowing the growth of tumor and improving the curative effect.DNA damage receptor,signal transduction factor and effectors are the classical pathways to mediate G2 phase arrest of tumor cells,and have the potential to be new targets for tumor therapy.
8.Evaluation of Efficacy of Biofeedback Therapy on Chronic Constipation

10.Effects of Levocarnitine Adjunctive Therapy on Serum Nutritional Index and Inflammatory Factor Level in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients
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.
