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.

3.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.Vasovagal syncope and serotonergic system
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(2):145-148
The role of serotonergic system in vasovagal syncope (VVS) has been more concerned.Serotonin is a kind of neurotransmitter which is widely distributed in central nervous system.There are kinds of serotonergic receptors on postsynaptic membrane,among which 5-HT1A receptors participate in the mechanism of central blood pressure depression and promote the release of hormones such as prolactin and adrenocorticotrophic hormone.Acute administration of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during head-up tilt test (HUT) blocks the reuptake of serotonin in the synapse space and thus increases stimulation of the serotonin receptors,which induces syncope episode.Long-term administration of SSRIs downregulates the postsynaptic serotonergic receptors,thus it weakens the reaction to the rapid change of serotonin concentration, which results in rapid depression of sympathic nerves and prevention of syncope episode.These demonstrate that central serotonergic system may participate in the pathogenesis of VVS and SSRIs are important for the diagnosis and treatment of VVS.
7.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.

The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2010;26(1):8-10
Objective To analyse the cognitive dysfunction early after non-cardiac surgery in elderly. MethodsEighteen elderly patients undergoing selective non-cardiac surgery were investigated. General anesthesia was used in 11 patients and combined epidural-spinal anesthesia in 7 cases. The operations involved orthopedic, thoracic, abdominal and urologic surgeries. The patients were premedicated with phynoharbital 0. 1g and scopolamine 0. 3mg. Results All patients suffered from typical POCD that occurred during 1 to 3 days after operation. The symptoms were more severe at night. The patients with POCD were treated effectively with intravenous injection of midozolam and muscle injection of haloperidol in 15 cases. The symptoms of POCD were attenuated by injection of pethidine in 2 cases. One case had to be given intravenous infusion of propofol continually for 16 hours. All patients were cured without psychological complications before discharge Conclusion POCD is a common complication in the elderly and should be treated actively.

10.Suppressive effect of adenovirus-mediated RNA interference on angiotensinⅡreceptor subtypes mRNA expression in mice brainstem
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2008;27(6):462-465
Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects of RNA silencing via adenovirusmediated angiotensin Ⅱ receptor subtypes shRNA(Ad-ATlaR-shRNA and Ad-ATlbR-shRNA)in mice brainstem nucleus tractus solitarius(NTS)in vivo. Methods C57BL mice were used as animal model.The microinjection into the nucleus of NTS was adopted.Two groups of male C57BL mice(n =7,n=8)were selected.After 10 days of microinjection,mice were killed and their brain tissue were fixed and sectioned.The levels of ATlaR mRNA and ATlbR mRNA at both sides of NTS were examined by in situ hybridization. Results The expression of ATlaR mRNA was significantly inhibited from 1.81/μCi/mg to 0.71μCi/mg[(61.6±6.8)%,P<0.01]by Ad-ATlaR-shRNA.Meanwhile,ATlbR mRNA expression was consistent at both sides,with no significant difference(P>0.05)after Ad-ATlaR-shRNA microinjection.ATlbR mRNA expression at the side with AdATlbR-shRNA injection was significantly inhibited from 10.28/μCi/mg to 4.97μCi/mg[(51.6±5.2)%,P<0.01]by Ad-ATlbR-shRNA.Meanwhile,ATlaR mRNA probe were consistent at both sides,with no significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusions The results show that both AdATlaR-shRNA and Ad-ATlbR-shRNA inhibit the corresponding receptor mRNA expression,and there is no cross-action for each other.
