OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Ru'ai Shuhou Recipe (RSR), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on 5-year recurrence rate after mastectomy in breast cancer. METHODS: A total of 300 patients with breast cancer were divided into two groups: treatment group and control group. The patients in the treatment group were treated with Western medicine and RSR, and the patients in the control group were treated only with Western medicine (the same as the treatment group). In the two groups, the 5-year recurrence rates after mastectomy in breast cancer were investigated. RESULTS: Thirty-four breast cancer patients were lost to five-year follow-up during the course of investigation, and 266 breast cancer patients went through the evaluation. The 5-year recurrence rate after mastectomy in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The recurrence rate after mastectomy was influenced by positive lymph node, primary breast tumor size, clinical stage, and patients' health status. There was significant difference in the 5-year recurrence rates between the two groups (P<0.05) under the following conditions, such as the positive lymph nodes more than four, the primary breast tumor larger than two centimeters, and in the clinical stage II and III, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive/progesterone receptor (PR)-positive and ER-negative/PR-negative. The recurrence rate was not associated with the operation method and age distribution. CONCLUSION: RSR can reduce the 5-year recurrence rate after mastectomy in breast cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of three small compounds, namely sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC), levamisole (LMS) and imiquimod (Imi), on the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of the candidate antigen PA0833 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( Pa) and analyze the underlying mechanisms. Methods:PA0833 was formulated with aluminum adjuvant and the above small compounds, respectively. BALB/c mice were immunized with these vaccines intramuscularly on days 0, 14 and 21. Serum samples were collected and the levels of PA0833-specific IgG were measured by ELISA. The protective efficacy of these vaccines was evaluated by assessment of survival rates, body weights, clinical scores, inflammatory factors, and histopathological changes after infecting the immunized mice with Pa PAO1 strains. Besides, the mice were injected with DTC intramuscularly for seven consecutive days to analyze the mechanism of DTC in enhancing immune response using transcriptome sequencing and flow cytometry. Results:All these small compounds were capable of effectively enhancing the immunogenicity of PA0833 formulated with aluminum adjuvant, reducing bacterial loads in lung tissues, inhibiting the secretion of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, and improving mouse survival rates upon Pa infection. DTC was more effective than the other two compounds. Transcriptome sequencing identified 121 up-regulated genes and 18 down-regulated genes in DTC-treated group as compared with PBS control group. These differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in immune pathways, with a strong activation of the IL-17 pathway. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated significant activation of dendritic cells and proliferation of Th17 cells in splenocytes in DTC-treated group as compared with PBS control group. Conclusions:All three small compounds are able of effectively enhance antigen immunogenicity with DTC being the most effective, indicating that DTC can be used as a novel adjuvant in vaccine development.
