Objective:To evaluate efficacy and safety of multiple-dose tropisetron plus dexamethasone (DXM) versus palonosetron plus DXM for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. (CINV) in patients received multiple day-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Methods:Cancer patients who were receiving multiday-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy were randomly assigned to AB or BA groups. A randomized, cross self-control ed method was applied. Patients in AB group received palonosetron (0.25 mg) 30 min before chemotherapy on day 1 and 3 or additional day 5 in the first cycle;and with tropisetron (5 mg) 30 min before chemotherapy on day 1, 2, and 3, or sup-plementary days (day 4 and 5) in the second cycle. Patients in BA group were treated with tropisetron in the first cycle and with palonosetron in the second cycle. Tropisetron and palonosetron were administered with DXM (10 mg) on day 1, followed by additional doses (5 mg) on days 2 to 5. Palonosetron group comprised patients in the AB group in the first cycle and BA group in the second cycle, whereas tropisetron group included patients in the AB group in the second cycle and BA group in the first cycle. Efficacy and safety of tropisetron versus palonosetron in preventing CINV were evaluated. Results:Ninety-one patients were included in analyses. At day 3, 4, and 5, incidence rates of nausea in the palonosetron group reached 28.6%, 30.8%, and 24.2%, respectively, and those of the tropisetron group totaled 42.8%, 47.3%, and 39.6%, respectively (P<0.05). At day 4, 5, and 6, incidence rates of vomiting in the palonosetron group measured 28.6%, 18.7%, and 5.5%, respectively, and those of the tropisetron group reached 42.9%, 34.1%, and 14.3%, respectively (P<0.05). From day 4 to day 5, day 6 to day 7, and day 1 to day 7, the palonosetron group yielded significantly lower incidence rates of nausea and vomiting than tropisetron group (P<0.05). Rate of rescue treatment in the palonosetron group was lower than that in tropisetron group (13.2%vs. 24.2%, P=0.057). No statistical difference in toxicities was observed between the two groups. Conclusion:Palonosetron plus DXM features better efficacy than that of tropisetron plus DXM against delayed CINV induced by multiple day-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy, which was well tolerated in the two treatments.

BACKGROUNDAt present, it has been known that the bronchogenic artery participates in the blood supply of primary bronchogenic carcinoma, but there is controversy about the blood supply from pulmonary artery in primary bronchogenic carcinoma. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between the blood supply from pulmonary artery and pathological characteristis of patients with primary bronchogenic carcinoma.

METHODSThe pulmonary arteries in 43 surgical samples of bronchogenic carcinoma were marked, then the iopromide was used to selective pulmonary arteriography in digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The relationship between tumor with blood supply from pulmonary artery and the pathologic characteristics was observed.

RESULTSThere were 34 samples with blood supply from pulmonary artery ( 79.07%) , and 9 samples without blood supply from pulmonary artery (20.93%). The development rate of peripheral lung cancer (100.00%) was significantly higher than that of central lung cancer (64.00%) (P < 0.01) . The development rate of squamous cell carcinoma (91.30%) was remarkably higher than that of adenocarcinoma (61.11%) (P < 0.05). The development rate of poorly differentiated lung cancer (95.00%) was remarkably higher than that of well and moderately differentiated lung cancer (65.22%) (P < 0.05). There was a positive relationship between the tumor size and the development rate (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSIn primary bronchogenic carcinoma, the pulmonary artery blood supply exists in most of tumors. There is relationship between the blood supply from pulmonary artery and general type, histopathology, cell differentiation and tumor size of lung cancer. The blood supply from pulmonary artery doesn't relate to tumor stage.

Interferon (IFN)-mediated pathways are a crucial part of the cellular response against viral infection. Type III IFNs, which include IFN-λ1, 2 and 3, mediate antiviral responses similar to Type I IFNs via a distinct receptor complex. IFN-λ1 is more effective than the other two members. Transcription of IFN-λ1 requires activation of IRF3/7 and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), similar to the transcriptional mechanism of Type I IFNs. Using reporter assays, we discovered that viral infection induced both IFN-λ1 promoter activity and that of the 3'-untranslated region (UTR), indicating that IFN-λ1 expression is also regulated at the post-transcriptional level. After analysis with microRNA (miRNA) prediction programs and 3'UTR targeting site assays, the miRNA-548 family, including miR-548b-5p, miR-548c-5p, miR-548i, miR-548j, and miR-548n, was identified to target the 3'UTR of IFN-λ1. Further study demonstrated that miRNA-548 mimics down-regulated the expression of IFN-λ1. In contrast, their inhibitors, the complementary RNAs, enhanced the expression of IFN-λ1 and IFN-stimulated genes. Furthermore, miRNA-548 mimics promoted infection by enterovirus-71 (EV71) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), whereas their inhibitors significantly suppressed the replication of EV71 and VSV. Endogenous miRNA-548 levels were suppressed during viral infection. In conclusion, our results suggest that miRNA-548 regulates host antiviral response via direct targeting of IFN-λ1, which may offer a potential candidate for antiviral therapy.

Objective:To investigate the molecular biological mechanism of Bw07 allele and its transferase alteration carried by a proband of ABw07 subtype.Methods:A 2-year-old male child was selected as the research object. The peripheral blood of the proband and his parents was identified for ABO blood type by the test tube method, and the ABO subgroup PCR-SSP detection and ABO gene sequencing were performed on the three individuals to determine their blood type genotypes. Finally, the effect of the p.Arg352Gln mutation on Bw07 transferase was verified by virtual mutation, DUET structure prediction, molecular dynamics analysis, and in vitro cellular experiments.Results:The serological phenotypes of the proband and his mother were ABw and Bw, respectively, while his father was normal A. The ABO subgroup PCR-SSP assay identified the three genotypes as Bw07/A, Bw07/O, and A/A, respectively.Sanger sequencing further verified that the proband and his mother carried the Bw07 gene, and virtual mutation showed that the intermolecular forces were weakened by the R352Q mutation. DUET predicted that this p.Arg352Gln mutation could affect the thermodynamic stability of Bw07 transferase. Molecular dynamics analysis confirmed that the alteration of thermodynamic stability was mainly related to the appearance of large fluctuations in the amino acid backbone atoms in the 125-133, 193-198 and 336-354 regions, and in vitro cellular experiments further verified the weakened antigen synthesis of Bw07 transferase.Conclusion:The formation of the ABw07 phenotype is associated with the mutation of the highly conserved Arg352 to Gln in Bw07 transferase.
