1.Evidence-based medicine and individualization treatment in the combined therapy of tumor
Cancer Research and Clinic 2008;20(3):145-147
Malignant tumor is one of the principle diseases which threatens the health of human being, and its incidence rate has been dramatically increased in recent years.Modern medical model has transformed from biomedical model to the model of "biology-psychology-society",from experience-based medicine to evidence-based medicine (EBM).At the same time,individualization is also one of important principles of tumor combined therapy.EBM and individualization treatment are not to opposed to each other but to complement each other. This article expounded the relationship of EBM and individualization treatment in tumor therapy,and showed that both of these two principles must be grasped arid carried out in clinical work.

Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1995;0(02):-
Biochemotherapy refers to the combination of biotherapy and chemotherapy,and it has been rapidly developed since its emergence.Biochemotherapy has brought both new therapies and new therapeutic ideas for the treatment of malignant tumors.In this article,we reviewed the recent advances in tumor biochemotherapies,including expansion of the indications,retaining of therapy even when tumor progressed(unique to biochemotherapy),and reversal of chemotherapy resistance by targeted therapy,the predicting response to tumor biochemotherapy,recent clinical trials of immunotherapy-based chemotherapy,and evaluation criteria for assessment of biochemotherapy response,and so on.

Objective To generate cytokine induced killer (CIK) by inducing lymphocytes cells from peripheral blood in vitro , and to study the phenotype and biological activities of CIK. Methods Lymphocytes cells were isolated fresh from peripheral blood of healthy donors by Ficoll Hypaque density centrifugation, and the cells obtained were resuspended in RPMI medium consisting of 10% fetal calf serum at 37℃, 5%CO 2 for 2h. On day 0, the nonadherent cells were activated with IFN ? (1 000U/ml) and the following days were stimulated with CD3mAb (3 75?g/ml) and rhIL 2 (600U/ml). Phenotype of CIK were analysed by FACS. The proliferation of CIK was tested using 3 H Thymidine, and the killing experiment using MTT tests. Results The proliferation peak of CIK was at day 20, and declined at day 30. The percentages of the cytotoxicity of CIK cells for stomach cancer cell line MGC803 and liver cancer cell line Bel7402 was 65 45%?5 68% and 68 37%?3 93% respectively. CIK cells expressed the phenotypes of CD3CD56, CD3, CD54, CD28CD54, CD11a, HLA DR and CD28. Conclusion IFN ?, CD3mAb and rhIL 2 can induce strong proliferation of peripheral lymphocytes to produce CIK cells expressing the phenotype of CD3CD56, CD3, CD54, CD28CD54, CD11a, HLA DR, CD28, which have strong cytotoxicity on tumor cells.

In recent years, more and more people has suffered from cancer which are causing more and more death. According to evidence-based medicine, the individualized therapy and normalized therapy are important principles of tumor therapy now.In order to improve the quality and effect of tumor therapy, produce qualified oncology physicians, it is important to emphasis the training of oncologist physicians. This article, gives some advices in enhance the level of oncology physicians.

Objective To investigate dynamic changes of the p53 gene and its protein during occurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer and explore the relationship between p53 mutation and survival of the patients. Methods p53 gene (exon 5-9) was examined by PCR, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and automated sequencing. Results p53 alterations were found in exons 5 through 9 in 26 of the 41 patients (63%). Of the 26 patients, 6 had the alterations in the liver metastatic lesions but not in the original colorectal lesion. The other 20 had the alterations in both of the primary colorectal and hepatic metastatic lesions. Meanwhile, an additional mutation in the metastatic lesions was found in 3 cases. The analysis about the survival revealed that the patients with mutant p53 in the metastatic lesions had a longer survival as compared with those with wild type p53. Conclusion In the process of liver metastasis of the colorectal cancer, p53 mutations mainly start in the primary colorectal lesion and then is kept and brought into the liver. It also might start from metastatic lesion in a few cases. For the patients who had liver metastasis of colorectal cancer and underwent hepatectomy, the survival is longer in mutant p53 group than in wild type p53 group.

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a common soft tissue sarcoma, which shows a strong predilection for distant metastases. Due to its limited response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy , poor prognosis is generally observed. A patient with MFH, who developed pulmonary metastases, postoperatively took ZD1839, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, because it was found that there was EGFR expression on the surface of the tumor cells. After a course of treatment (28 days), the pulmonary metastases disappeared, and the patient enjoyed a complete remission.

Objective To assess functional affinity of humanized anti-HBsAg Fab in order to provide theoretical basis for the radioimmunotherapy of liver cancer bearing HBV. Methods With cognizance of the advantages of solid phase method in time consumption and convenience, we assessed the functional affinity of engineered anti-HBsAg Fab with non-competitive ELISA method. After a series of trials affirming the best concentration and the best time of HBsAg to cover the plate and the proper binding time of Fab to HBsAg to reach an equilibrium, we plotted the OD standard curve of the binding reaction of Fab and HBsAg using four grades of concentration of HBsAg and a series of consistency of Fab. We got the consistency of Fab at OD50% through the standard curve, and then calculated the affinity by Law of Mass Action. Results The affinity of anti-HBsAg Fab is between 10 7 -10 8 M -1 , which was only smaller by 10 times than that of anti-HBsAg IgG. Conclusion The Fab which we constructed in our lab, can strongly bind to the target antigen, thus providing a theoretical basis for its clinical use.

Objective To compare two assay methods, namely immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), in the detection of Her-2/neu status in mammary cancer tissues. Methods In 20 samples IHC technique was applied to detect the Her-2 protein in the cytomembrane of mammary cancer, and FISH was used to assess the amplification of Her-2/neu gene, and SPSS 10.0 software was employed to analyze the relationship between the two methods. Results The coincident rate of two methods was 85%, therefore there was a significant positive correlation between the two techniques (?~2=80.00, P=0.00). Conclusion The two assay methods, IHC and FISH showed a good coincidence in the detection of Her-2/neu status in mammary cancer tissues.
