1.Effect of alternariol monomethyl ether on the lipid peroxidation in the epithelia of fetal esophagus and stomach
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
The effect of Alternariol Monomethyl Ether (AME), a suspected carcinogen in human being, on the lipid peroxidation in the epithelia of fetal esophagus and stomach was studied. The epithelia of esophagus and stomach of human fetus induced labor with water-bag were treated with AME. Lipid peroxides were measured by thiobarbituric acid test for malondialdehyde (MDA). There was a positive correlation between the values of MDA levels and AME dosaeges. It demonstrated that the lipid peroxdation could be initiated with AME. Lipid peroxidation levels were increased following treatment time elongating. The values of MDA levels in esophagus were higher than those in stomach, which were treated with the same dosaege of AME. It showed that AME had an organ selectivity. These results indicate that AME may be one of genetoxic etiological factors of esophageal carcinoma in Linxian county.

A platinum-based doublet with a third-generation agent represents the standard first-line treatment for advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with good performance status (PS). Traditional chemotherapy provides response rates of 20 %-40 % and a median survival of 8-10 months. In an attempt to improve its outcome, alternative schedules have been proposed, namely sequential, alternating, and maintenance therapy. Sequential chemotherapy with a platinum-based doublet followed by a single agent is feasible in patients with good PS; The use of sequential single agents is an option for elderly and frail patients unsuitable for a platinum-based combination. Based on trials published so far, it is unlikely that an alternating chemotherapy strategy will be proved superior to standard chemotherapy in patients with good PS.Consolidation chemotherapy may provide additional benefit for patients achieving disease control after standard first-line chemotherapy.

Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and TLR7 in primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) of different pathological types in children. Methods Renal expressions of TLR4 and TLR7 were amined and analyzed retrospectively in renal biopsy specimens from 110 PNS patients and 21 healthy controls by immunohisto-chemical method. According to the renal pathologic classification of PNS, the TLR4 and TLR7 expression levels in PNS of dif-ferent types were compared. Results Compared with the renal tissue of healthy controls, the expression level of TLR4 on renal tissue of PNS patients was significantly increased (P<0.01). Among MN, MsPGN and FSGS, the highest expression of TLR4 was observed in MCD (P<0.01). Compared with the renal tissue of healthy controls, the expression level of TLR7 in re-nal tissue of PNS patients was also significantly increased (P<0.01). Among MCD, MN and FSGS, the highest expression of TLR7 was observed in MsPGN (P<0.01). Conclusions TLR4 and TLR7 expression levels are increased in renal tissue of PNS patients and the expression levels may be correlated with renal pathological types.
