There are three kinds of molecular targeted antitumor drugs: inhibitors of membrane?associated therapeutic targets, inhibitors of intracellular signaling pathways, and immunomodulators. Inhibitors of membrane?associated therapeutic targets include epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRIs), KIT and BCR?ABL inhibitors, antiangiogenic agents and multikinase inhibitors. Inhibitors of intracellular signals include inhibitors of the RAS?RAF?MEK?ERK pathway, PI3K?AKT?mTOR pathway and Hedgehog signaling pathway. Inhibitors of cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated?antigen(CTLA) and programmed death 1 (PD?1) belong to immunomodulatory agents. Cutaneous adverse effects of different molecular targeted antitumor drugs share some common features, but also differ from each other. Most of the side effects are dose?dependent and reversible. Management strategies should be adjusted according to the severity of skin eruptions. Dose tapering and even discontinuation of antitumor drugs are necessary for very severe cases, but for mild ones, symptomatic treatment might be enough. This article reviews cutaneous adverse reactions to molecular targeted therapy as well as their prevention and management.

Objective:To study the effect of Longman Ampelopsis grossedentata on the level of serum lipid. Methods:The exper-imental rats were given high-fat diet during the experiment. The rats were randomly divided into the model group, high dose group (37. 80 g·kg-1), medium dose group (12. 60 g·kg-1), low dose group (6. 30 g·kg-1) and lipid-lowering drug group (180 mg· kg-1 ) . All the groups were administrated continuously for 30 days, and the effect on body weight, serum TC, TG and HDL-C were measured. Results:Compared with that of the model group, the increase of body weight in the other groups was not significant ( P>0. 05), and all the rats had no obvious poisoning symptom. TC and TG were higher after the high-fat diet administration than those be-fore the experiment in the model group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). After the 30-day treatment, the levels of TC and TG in the high-dose group were significantly decreased compared with those of the model group (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion:Longman Ampelopsis grossedentata shows assistant therapeutic effect on serum lipid.

Objective To investigate the roles of fiberoptic bronchoscopy in diagnosis and treatment for infants with refractory and persistent wheezing. Methods From Jun. 2012 to Dec. 2013, 52 hospitalized children with age between four 4 months and 1 year old were recruited for ifberoptic bronchoscopy, who had been wheezing for at least four weeks and treated ineffectively with conventional anti-inlfammatory agents:budesonide and compound ipratropium bromide solution. Then, the pathogenesis of refractory and persistent wheezing was summarized based on clinical features, detection of CT imaging of three-dimensional airway reconstruction and cardiac CT, results of bronchoscopy inspection, and bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid culture. Results Among the 52 cases, 40 were with ground glass-like changes (76.92%) in pulmonary spiral CT testing, 4 with mosaic perfusion syndrome (7.69%), 8 with segmental pulmonary consolidation (15.38%), 8 with obstructive pulmonary emphysema (15.38%), and 1 with left primary bronchial foreign body. In addition, through bronchofibroscopy, there were 52 cases with imlfammation (100%),3 with tracheal stenosis (5.77%), 3 with left and/or right main bronchus stenosis of the external pressure, 18 with bronchomalacia(34.62%), 2 cases with foreign body (3.84%), one in trachea (1.92%), the other in left main bronchus (1.92%), 10 with bronchial mucus plug (19.23%), and 8 (15.38%) with congenital airway malformations (including 3 at tracheal bronchus, 1 at left upper lobe bronchial stenosis and 1 at bronchial Bridge). The culture of bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid were conducted for all patients. The positive rate of bronchoalveolar lavage lfuid was 9.62%(5/52 cases), including 2 cases with tip Escherichia coli, 2 with Haemophilus inlfuenzae, and 1 with Acinetobacter baumannii. Conclusions First, infection is the primary cause of refractory and persistent wheezing, which is persistent in airway resulted from multi-drug resistant bacteriua. Second, refractory and persistent wheezing is often caused by multi-factors including infection, congenital airway malformations, the endogenous and exogenous foreign body, cardiovascular malformation, etc. These factors often lead to dififcult wheezing control. The last, the diagnosis rate of the refractory and persistent wheezing can be improved by combination of ifberoptic bronchoscopy and lung spiral CT.

Objecfive To investigate the effects of treatment for cerebrovascular disorder patients with heparin and low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) on serum PAPP-A concentrations and provide the basis for evaluating the clinical significance of PAPP-A in the following study.Methods Forty cases with cerebrovascular disease from Qilu Hospital from November 2009 to May 2010 were collected in this study.Blood samples were taken before and after drug administration.All cases were divided into four groups according to situation of medication.Group A consisted of 10 patients who received subcutaneous LMWH anticoagulation therapy, and blood samples were collected before LMWH injection, three hours after subcutaneous LMWH anticoagulation therapy in the first day, the second day and the seventh day and 24 hours after the last injection. Group B consisted of 10 patients who did not receive LMWH therapy, and blood samples were collected immediately after admission, the first day, the second day and the seventh day after admission. Group C consisted of 10 patients with percutaneous carotid intervention who received intravenous heparin at the beginning of stenting, and blood samples were collected from the arterial sheath just before angiography and heparin administration, and at 3, 5, 15, 40 and 100 min after heparin administration. Group D consisted of 10 patients who received carotid angiography but LMWH-free therapy,and blood samples were collected from the arterial sheath just before and after angiography. Serum PAPP-A concentrations were analyzed by ELISA to evaluate the differences of intra-groups and differences at different time points of inter-groups. Results In group A, PAPP-A concentrations were time dependent and elevated gradually from 12. 36 (9. 90-14. 32) mIU/L before LMWH injection to 21.80 (23.50-19.73) mIU/L at the seventh day after injection (M=38. 72, P < 0.01 ). In group C, there was a rapid increase of PAPP-A concentration from 12. 86 ( 9. 67-14. 05 ) mIU/L to 51.56 ( 44. 20-66. 00 ) mIU/L within 5 min after intravenous heparin injection (M=46. 06, P <0. 01 ). The PAPP-A concentration of one week after LMWH administration in group A was 21.80 (23.50-19.73) mIU/L, significantly higher than that in group B [11.81 (9. 21-12. 89) mIU/L] (U<0. O01, P<0.01). The PAPP-A concentration at 15 min after heparin administration in group C was 43.70 (37.70-54. 30) mIU/L, significantly higher than that after angiography in group D [14. 18 (11.25-15. 86) mIU/L] ( U<0. 001, P <0. 01 ). The peak level of blood PAPP-A after subcutaneous LMWH injection was significantly lower than that after intravenous heparin injection. The concentrations in group A and C were 21.80 ( 23.50-19. 73 ) and 51.56 (44. 20-66. 00) mIU/L respectively, and had a significant difference ( U=0. 999, P < 0. 01 ) . Conclusions Both intravenous heparin and subcutaneous LMWH administration induce an increase in serum PAPP-A concentration. The effect of drug should be considered when PAPP-A is selected as an evaluation indicator.

Objective To investigate the role of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) on migration and invasion of lung cancer cell by upregulating matrix metalloproteinase-9 through nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway.Methods A549 cell line were overexpressed ILK and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) confirmed by cell transfection,siRNA interference,cell scratch test,real-time quantitative PCR and Western Blot.Results Over-expression of ILK stimulated MMP-9 expression in lung cancer cells(P < 0.01).The addition of MMP-9 inhibitor doxycycline and anti-MMP-9 neutralizing antibody significantly impaired the wound healing capacity of ILK-transfected cells(P < 0.01),as well as by in vitro matrigel invasion assay (P < 0.01).In addition,overexpression ILK induced phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-κB subunit p65.Upregulation of MMP-9 was severely abolished by either BAY 11-7028,a specific NF-κB inhibitor,or siRNA targeted to NF-κB p65 in ILK over-expression cells.Conclusion The finding indicate that over-expression of ILK can promote the migration and invasion of lung cancer cell,and upregulate MMP-9 through the NF-κB pathway.

Objective To observe curative effects of augmentation fixation technique injected with PMMA through lateral holes of dynamical hip screw (DHS) in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture of senile osteoporotic patients. Methods From January 2006 to December 2007,15 senile osteoporotic inpatients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with augmentation technique injected with PMMA to the femoral head through central channel and lateral holes of DHS. Clinical data about function of hip joint and complications early after operation were observed. All patients were followed up till fractures were healed, when the hip joint function was evaluated according to Harris standarch. Results Surgical trauma indices such as operation time and bleeding volume of augmentation technique were the same as those of merely DHS fixation. All the patients could safely do hip flexion and extension exercises in the bed and completely sit up by bedside 2-3 days after operation. Six patients could do walking exercise with aid one week after operation, with no complications relating to staying in bed or to PMMA during per-operation period. All fractures were healed 3-6 months after operation, without complications like fixation loosening, cut or destruction of femoral head during postoperative follow-up period. Six months after operation, 14 patients recovered viability to normal. According to Harris standards, the results were excellent in four patients, good in 10 and fair in one, with average Harris score of 83 points. Conclusions The augmentation fixation technique injected with PMMA through lateral holes of DHS has advantages of better DHS anchoring ability in femoral heads, less surgical trauma, reliable fixation and early functional exercise and is suitable for senile osteoporotic patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
