Purpose To detect the expression of FOXO3 in lung cancer specimens and lung cancer stem cell, for diagnosis and treat-ment of lung cancer. Methods Immunohistochemistry, semi-quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect FOXO3 protein expression in clinical specimens of lung cancer. PCR and Western blot verified FOXO3 mRNA and protein expression of lung cancer cells. Results Immunohistochemistry showed that the FOXO3 was significantly lower expressed in lung cancer tissues and the corre-sponding lung cancer stem cells;Detection of FOXO3 mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot showed both had significantly lower expression;as progression of the disease, there was a clear decreasing trend, in which negative expression rate of FOXO3 protein accounted for 66. 7% in all patients;at the same times, the rate of the expression gradually decreased with loss of differentiation and metastasis of the tumor. Conclusions FOXO3 shows low expression in lung tissue and lung cancer stem cells, while it is closely relat-ed to the degree of malignancy and lung cancer metastasis, which may be a new target for the treatment.

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) in metastatic colon cancer undergoing first-line chemotherapy with FOLFOX.Methods: Data were collected from a retrospective survey of 158 consecutive metastatic colon cancer patients who had undergone FOLFOX chemotherapy.The clinicopathological characteristics and chemotherapy features of the patients were analyzed as potential prognostic factors.The patients were stratified by the decreased level of CIN to three groups: large decreased level (the number of neutrophil decreased more than 1.0×109 compared with that before chemotherapy),small decreased level (the number of neutrophil decreased less than 1.0×109 compared with that before chemotherapy) and the absence of neutropenia.Results: According to a multivariate COX model, decreased level of CIN was a independent prognostic factor of colon cancer patients.Hazard ratios of death were 0.687 (95% CI: 0.381-0.812, P=0.016) for patients with large decreased level of CIN and 0.817 (95% CI: 0.527-0.939,P=0.027) for those with small decreased level of CIN compared with those of absent neutropenia patients.Median overall survival was 12.9 months (95% CI: 10.4-15.4) for patients without neutropenia (A) compared with 20.8 months (95% CI: 18.3-23.1) for patients with large-decreased level of CIN (L) and with 17.3 months (95% CI: 16.2-18.8) for those with small-decreased level of CIN (S vs.L, P=0.018;L vs.A, P=0.009;S vs.A, P=0.011).Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that the decreased level of CIN is a predictor of prognosis in patients with metastatic colon cancer undergoing FOLFOX chemotherapy.Patients who have experienced large decreased level of CIN haave longer survival time than small decreased level of CIN or absent patients.To monitor CIN decreased level timely and adjust chemotherapy drug dose may help improve the prognosis.

Objective:To study the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb761) on metabolism of aflatoxin B_1(AFB_1) in Wistar rats. Methods:Seventy one Wistar rats were divided into three groups at random: group A (AFB_1 group), group B (AFB_1+EGb761 group), and group C (control group). The rats in groups A and B were given AFB_1(intraperitoneal injection, 100-200 μg/ kg body weight, 1-3 times/week). The rats in group B were fed the food containing EGb761 while the rats in groups A and C were given normal food. Blood samples were collected and liver biopsy was performed on the 14th, 28th and 42nd week. All the rats were sacrificed at the 64th week. The incidence of hepatoma was observed. The hepatic phase Ⅰ drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP450 and phase Ⅱ enzyme GST were detected by spectrometry. The serum AFB_1-lysine adduct was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The expression of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) was measured by immunohistochemistry. Results:The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (26.92% vs 76.00%,P<0.001). No hepatocellular carcinoma developed in group C. EGb761 had no effects on the activities of CYP450 and GST in rat liver tissues. The level of AFB_1-lysine adduct reached the peak (4 356.01 pg/mg albumin) at the 14th week in group A. EGb761 significantly inhibited the formation of AFB_1-lysine adducts in serum by 13.07% at the 14th week (P=0.033), and 73.63% at the 42nd week (P=0.002). The expression of 8-OHdG protein in rat liver tissues in group B was significantly lower than that in group A at the 28th, 42nd, and 64th week (P<0.05). Conclusion:The main mechanism underlying the effect of EGb761 in blocking hepatogenesis induced by AFB_1 may not be fully related with its influence on the activity of liver phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolizing enzymes. EGb761 inhibites the production of AFB_1-lysine addcuts, decreases the expression of 8-OHdG protein, and finally alleviates the DNA oxidative injury, which may be one of the mechanisms for the effects of EGb761 in inhibiting or delaying hepatogenesis induced by AFB_1.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze intervention effect of Drug Rational Usage Guidelines System(DRUGS)on antibacterial agents use in department of obstetrics and gynecology in our hospital. METHODS:The application of antibacterial agents in depart-ment of obstetrics and gynecology in our hospital during Jan.-May(before intervention)and Jun.-Nov. 2012(after intervention)were extracted in respects of drug name,preoperative medication duration,perioperative additional condition,postoperative drug with-drawal time,drug combination,usage and dosage,average hospitalization stay,hospitalization cost. The intervention effects were analyzed. RESULTS:After intervention,the type of antibacterial agents were more in line with national regulations;the proportion of type Ⅰ incision surgery without antibacterial agents increased from 57.8% to 75.2%;the prophylactic application of antibacteri-al agents in type Ⅱ incision surgery within 0.5-2 h increased from 80.2% to 97.0%. The rate of reasonable antibacterial selection, drug combination,usage and dosage increased from 76.9%,64.9%,71.3% to 89.3%,84.6%,90.2%,respectively. The average hospitalization stay and antibacterial cost per capita decreased significantly. There was statistical significance among above indica-tors before and after intervention(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:DRUGS effectively change irrational use of antibacterial agents in department of obstetrics and gynecology,which provide a new method for the management of antibacterial agents.
