Objective:To select suitable chemotherapy for cervical cancer patients by ATP-tumor chemosensitivity assay.
Methods:Seventy-two hospitalized patients with cervical cancer between July 2007 and October 2009 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into a trial group (n=35) and a control group(n=37). ATP-TCA was used to detect the sensitivity of 35 samples of cervical cancer in the trial group to 6 combined chemotherapy regimens. The chemotherapy regimen in the trial group was confirmed by the results of susceptibility testing and that in the control group was confirmed by clinical experience. One-year recurrence rate and 3-year survival rate of two groups were compared after 3 year follow-up.
Results:ATP-TCA was measured in 32 of the 35 patients in the trial group. The sensitive patients for paclitaxel+carboplatin, paclitaxel+oxaliplatin, bleomycin+ifosfamide+cisplatin, bleomycin+vincristine+cisplatin, fluorouracil+cisplatin, and gemcitabine+cisplatin were 20, 18, 17, 18, 17, and 21, respectively. There was no significant difference in the 1-year recurrence between the two groups (P>0.05), while the 3-year survivors in the trial group were more than those in the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion:ATP-TCA method is good for patients with cervical cancer because it is sensitive, effective, and individualized.

AIM: To investigate that nicotine inhibits HMGB1 expression and release in RAW264.7 cells.METHODS: (1) RAW264.7 cells were cultured in 6 wells plate, treated with 250 μg/L LPS and 1 μmol/L or 10 μmol/L nicotine, in which the cells treated with or without 250 μg/L LPS were regarded as nicotine 1 group (N1), nicotine 2 group (N2), LPS group (LPS) and control group (C), respectively. HMGB1 protein in the cell culture media and in cell nuclear was examined by Western blotting and the cellular HMGB1 mRNA level was detected by RT-PCR. (2) Transfected with antisense RNA or sense RNA of α~7 subunit-containing nicotinic receptor (α~7nAChR), RAW264.7 cells were treated with 250 μg/L LPS and 10 μmol/L nicotine, HMGB1 protein in the culture media was also tested by Western blotting.RESULTS: (1) HMGB1 mRNA level in C group was low (1 659.20±121.05) and no significant statistical difference among groups of N1, N2 and LPS was observed (P>0.05). (2) Higher HMGB1 accumulation in the cell culture media was detected in LPS group (445.34±28.52) than that in C group. Compared to LPS group, both N1 and N2 groups distinctly attenuated HMGB1 accumulation in culture media (P<0.05). (3) Nuclear HMGB1 accumulation was lower in LPS group than that in C group, and two different nicotine concentrations markedly increased the nuclear HMGB1 accumulation compared to LPS group (P<0.05). (4) No significant difference of HMGB1 levels in culture media between antisense RNA group and LPS group was observed (P>0.05). In sense RNA group, however, HMGB1 level was observably reduced compared to antisense group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that nicotine dramatically inhibits RAW264.7 cell nuclear HMGB1 translocation and extracellular release, and this effect relies on α~7nAch receptor expression.
