1.Adverse reactions of the new generation of tumor immunotherapy and its management strategy
Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(6):460-463
In recent years,tumor immunotherapy has attracted more attention because of its remarkable curative effect in patients with advanced cancer,but often accompanied by immune related adverse events.Understanding the immune related adverse reaction rate,possible mechanism and adverse reaction evaluation criteria and treatment principle of the immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Ipilimumab,Nivolumab and Pembrolizumab,has important significance for the treatment of malignant tumor.
2.Skin toxicities of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(10):784-787
Skin toxicities are the most common adverse effects of epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors(EGFRI).It can result in significant physical and psyehological discomfort,and even leads to interruption or dose modification,and consequently affect the curative effect. Nowadays this adverse effect has attracted lot of attention.It is proposed that clinical management and treatment measures for skin toxicities should be further studied to improve the patients life quality,and guarantee the continuity and best curative effect of the treatment.But more researches on the pathogenesis and its prognostic significance are still expected.
3.Astrocyte elevated gene 1 in malignant tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(5):341-344
Recent studies suggest that astrocyte elevated gene 1 ( AEG-1 ) is almost highly expressed in all types of malignant solid tumors and correlates with poor prognosis,which becomes a prognostic marker for many kinds of tumors.As a strongly basic protein,AEG-1 possesses a transmembrane domain and multiplenuclear localization signals.It is present in the cell membrane,cytoplasm and nucleus.As an oncogene,AEG-1 palys an important role in a virety of malignant biological behaviors of cancer,which range from cell proliferation,apoptosis,migration,adhesion,invasion to tumor angiogenesis and chemotherapy resistance.Its critical role in tumor genesis and progression has made it a potential therapeutic target.
4.Research development of triple-negative breast cancer chemotherapy
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(1):27-31
Triple-negative breast cancer ( TNBC ) is a subtype of breast cancer,and it is characterized by an aggressive clinical course with a poor prognosis.Treatment for TNBC has attracted much attention in recent years,however,there is no standard treatment for TNBC in clinical setting.The pCR rates of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in TNBC ranges from 12% to 48% in the current published data,and it is higher than that in other types of breast cancer,however,the fluctuating range of the TNBC ’s pCR is large in literature.Although the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy for early TNBC is controversial,the regimen without anthracyclines is reported to be suitable for early TNBC patients.Standard cytotoxic agents including taxanes and anthracyclines are still the main choices for TNBC salvage treatment,and the combination with gemcitabine or capecitabine may improve the overall survival.Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a new molecular target for TNBC in ongoing studies.Further research on the target-inhibitors such as BSI-201and Olaparib will provide more effective choices to clinical treatment.
5.Application of cytokine-induced killer ceils in tumor therapy
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(2):102-105
Cytokine-induced killer(CIK)cells are characterized by rapid proliferation, high and broad anti-tumor activities and mild toxicities. Some clinical trials demonstrate that the infusion of a large amount of CIK cells enhances the auto-immune of function in patient, which might help to clean up the remaining tumor cells and minor metastatic tumors and delay the recurrence of tumor with improved curative effects.
6.Clinical Application of the Alginate Microglobe Particles in Partial Splenic Embolization for Hypersplenism in Cirrhosis
Journal of Practical Radiology 1991;0(03):-
Objective To elevate the efficacy and complications of partial splenic embolization(PSE) using the alginate microglobe(AMG) as embolic material for hypersplenism in cirrhosis.Methods 42 patients with hypersplenism and cirrhosis were treated by PSE,AMG of 250~450 ?m were injected into the arteries of inferior splenic pole,the embolization degree was ranging from 40% to 70%.Results 42 times of embolization were performed in 42 patients,after operation, 35 patients had fever and lasted for 3~15 d,38 patients had abdominal pain,of them, 27 patients needed treatment with analgesic.Treatable a little hydrothorax appeared in 6 ,and no serious complication occurred.WBC and PLT counts were increased 24 hour later(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) through a straight incision and keyhole minimally invasive craniotomy. Methods According to the location of the hematoma revealed by preoperative CT scans, a straight skin incision was made 4~5 cm in length, and then a keyhole craniotomy 2 cm in diameter was performed. The underlying cortex was incised the hematoma was exposed and removed under microscope. Results The hematomas were thoroughly cleared in 17 cases. The clearance rate was 90% in 18 cases and 80% in 4 cases. Re-hemorrhage occurred in 2 cases after operation. A total of 35 cases was followed for 0.5~3 years (mean, 2.1 years). The quality of life was assessed by activity of daily living (ADL) classification, which revealed 9 cases of grade 1, 12 cases of grade 2, 9 cases of grade 3, 4 cases of grade 4, and 1 case of grade 5 at the 6th postoperative month. The mortality of this series was 10.3% (4/39). Conclusions Straight incision keyhole minimally invasive craniotomy is a rapid, effective, and safe technique for the removal of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage. The method herein provides an effective decompression of hematoma, with low recurrence rate and good prognosis compared with conventional surgery.

NDUFS3 is an essential subunit of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex Ⅰ ) and plays a critical role in the mitochondrial typeⅠ respiration chain.Mutations in this gene are shown to cause neurodegenerative disease such as Leigh syndrome (subacute necrotizing encephalopathy).In recent years,many evidences show that the expression of NDUFS3 proteins are lower in many cancerous cells compared to the corresponding normal cells.It comes to the conclusion that NDUFS3 may play a role in the tumorigenesis.

The incidence of thyroid carcinoma is associated with a variety of factors.Radiation is the clear risk factor,the relationship between iodine intake and thyroid carcinoma remains controversial.Researches show that the genetic and epigenetic changes of many signaling pathways are the key of molecular pathogenetic mechanism of thyroid carcinoma.In addition,thyroid stimulating hormone,body mass index and chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis are also associated with thyroid carcinoma.

The uptake of oral administered drugs primarily occurs in the small intestine,which also has the capability to metabolize drugs.Both phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolic enzymes were expressed in the intestinal mucosa,and cytochromes P450(CYP450s) are the principle enzymes attributed to the biotransformation of drugs.CYP3A and CYP2C are the most abundant subfamilies,accounting for approximately 80% and 16% of total CYP450s in the intestine.Compared to the liver,the expression and activity of CYP450 enzymes in the intestine was susceptible to inducers or inhibitors,leading to drug-drug interaction.This article reviews the expression of CYP enzymes in small intestine and the role of the gut wall in CYP-mediated xenobiotic metabolism.Possible drug-drug interactions due to induction or inhibition of CYP enzymes in the small intestine are also addressed.
