1.Drug treatment status and research progress on triple-negative breast cancer
Practical Oncology Journal 2015;(1):89-92
Triple negative breast cancer ( TNBC) is defined by the lack of expressions of the estrogen re-ceptor(ER)、progesterone receptor(PR)and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2).Although it is sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy ,it lacks of appropriate targeted therapy and endocrine therapy .It performs characteristics of the strong invasion ,high risk of recurrence and poor prognosis .So in recent years ,triple negative breast cancer gets more and more attention from international oncology community .In-depth study of triple nega-tive breast cancer will help the prevention ,early diagnosis ,judge the progress of the disease and improve progno-sis.TNBC drug treatment and relevant research progress are reviewed in the present article .

Objective To evaluate the influence of precise liver resection techniques on intestinal permeability in the diseases needing liver resection.Methods Eighty-seven patients needing liver resection were randomized to receive the precise liver resection (n =58,PLR group) or the conventional liver resection (n =29,CLR group).D-lactate and and endotoxin in abdominal fluid were detected in all the patients.The abdominal fluid bacteria cultures were performed.Results The postoperative hospitalization time,the needed time of blood routine,temperature,and oppetite resuming were significantly shorter in PLR group than those in CLR group (t ≥7.36,P < 0.01) ; The postoperative abdominal effusion was significantly less in PLR group than that of CLR group(t ≥ 14.17,P <0.01).The abdominal fluid concentrations of D-lactate and endotoxin in operation or at 1d after operation were significantly higher than those at 5d after operation in both groups(t ≥10.41,P <0.01).Those parameters decreased significantly at 2d after operation,returned to the normal level at 3d after operation in PLR group,and those parameters were significantly lower in PLR group than those in CLR group at the same time phase after postoperative 2 or 3 days (t ≥9.23,P <0.01) ; Those parameters began to drop at 3d after operation,returned to the normal level at 5d after operation in CLR group.The positive rate of abdominal fluid bacteria cultures was significantly lower in PLR group than that in CLR group(13/29) (x2 =23.51,P < 0.01).Conclusions The precise liver resection techniques had an important influence on intestinal permeability in the diseases needing liver resection.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of low molecular weight heparin or tranexamic acid in the rabbits with hypercoagulation induced by impact injury and intravenous infusion of the endotoxin. Methods Combination of impact injury and endotoxin was created by strike on rabbit chest with type BIM-Ⅱ biological impact machine and injection of endotoxin via vein.Thirty-two male New Zealand rabbits were divided into four groups in a completely random design as follows:impact injury combined with endotoxin without treatment group(control group),treatment with low molecular weight heparin(L group),treatment with tranexamic acid(TA group),and treatment with low molecular weight heparin and tranexamie acid(L+TA group).The changes of interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were observed by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;changes of antithrombin-Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)activity,tissue factor(TF)and tissue factor pathway inhibitors(TFPI)were detected by the chromogenic substrate method chromozym P:the content of fibrinogen was observed by coagulation analyzer.The lung and kidney were removed from the experimental animals at 24 hours post impact injury forhistopathologic observation. Results In the control group,the activity of AT-Ⅲ was decreased obviously.while the content of fibrinogen and the activity of TF and TFPl were increased,with formation of the thrombosis in the kidney after injection of PLS.Compared with control group,the activity of TF and the content of IL-1β and IL-6 were reduced but the TFPI was increased in the L group,which resulted in a decrease of TF/TFPI ratio.with decrease of formation of the micro-thrombosis in the organs.The content of IL-1β and IL-6 in the TA group were reduced,which was still higher than that in tIle L group.In the TA group.the activity of IF and TFPI Was lower than that in the L group and control group,with higher TF/TFPI ratio than the L group.The frequency of thrombosis increased in pulmonary artery and other important organs.The content of IL-1β and IL-6 in the L+TA group wag lower than that in the L group.In the L+TA group.the activity ofTF was lower than that inthe L group and control group,but the activity of TFPI was higher than that in the L group and control group.with lower TF/TFPI ratio than the L group.There found no increase of thrombus in the pulmonary arterial and other important organs. Conclusions Besides anticoagulation function,the low molecular weight heparin can inhibit the inflanunation reaction,reduce the release of TF and attenuate the coagulation reaction.On the basis of treatment with low molecular weight heparin,application of the tranexamic acid will not lead to the formation of thrombus,but the only use of the tranexamic acid would have the contrary results.The rtsults of the study provide a theoretical and experimental basis for clinical diagnosis and prevention of hypercoagulation induced by injury and infection.

In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics parameters of SPIO-shRNA dual functional molecular probe and observed the main organ distribution by MRI in vivo. Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups and injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe, respectively. The blood samples were collected to analyze the pharmacokinetic parameters by measuring the iron content at 30 minutes before and after the injection. Twenty-four Kun Ming (KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group was injected intravenously with physiological saline 200 µL per mouse via the tail vein, the other 3 groups were injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe. MRI observation was performed in 24 hours, and the liver, spleen, kidney, brain and muscle were collected for iron quantification with Prussian blue staining to determine distribution of the SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in the main organ in vivo. Our results suggest that the molecular probe blood half-life is more than 3 hours. The data of MRI suggest the probe was distributed in liver and spleen, and the MRI signal was reduced with the increase in probe's doses (P < 0.05). The results of Prussian blue staining confirmed the results of MRI. Most of the probe could escape the phagocytosis of mononuclear phagocyte system. Our data provide the pharmacokinetic and distribution of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in organs. Meanwhile, it suggests the choice of the time and dose of probe for MR imaging of tumor in vivo.
