Renal cancer is a common malignant tumor in urology, with complicated pathogenesis and no obvious clinical symptoms. Metastatic renal cancer accounts for 20%-30% of the newly diagnosed renal cancer. The 5-year survival rate for metastatic patients is less than 10%.At present, the main non-surgical treatment means of mRCC include cytokines and targeted drug therapy, and immunotherapy has also become a research hotspot of mRCC. The current status and research progress of mRCC therapy were reviewed. The medical treatment methods of metastatic renal cancer, such as receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors; immunotherapies, such as immunosuppressants for PD-1/PD-L1 were also discussed.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of amiodarone in preventing reperfusion ventricular fibrillation (RVF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Methods:This study searched the databases of CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Knowledge and PubMed, and searched the related research of amiodarone to prevent RVF in cardiac surgery patients, the time was until December 2019. Meta analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 software according to established standards.Results:The study included six studies (incorporating 514 patients). According to different intervention methods, 514 patients were divided into three groups, 196 in the amiodarone group, 153 in the lidocaine group, and 165 in the placebo group. The incidence of RVF was significantly lower in the amiodarone group than in the control group ( RR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47-0.86, P=0.003, I2=49%), but there was no significant difference between the amiodarone group and the lidocaine group( RR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.48-2.22, P=0.94, I2=74%). Compared with the control group, amiodarone reduced the defibrillation frequency of RVF, but the difference was not statistically significant ( RR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.68-1.20, P=0.48, I2=0). There was no difference in the number of defibrillation of RVF between the lidocaine group and the amiodarone groups ( RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.90-2.52, P=0.12, I2=38%). Conclusion:Compared with the control group, amiodarone can significantly reduce the incidence of RVF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

The therapy of removing beat and toxic,strengthening the body to cultivate the fundamental is the mainstream of treating cancer in traditional Chinese medicine up to now,and the therapy of warming yang has been rarely involved.While the pathogenesis of tumor is spleen and kidney yang deficiency in root,and phlegm,stasis,and poison entangled with each other at the secondary position; the main therapeutical principle of tumor is simultaneous application of purging-tonifying therapy while focusing on protecting yang.The author believes that the treatment of cancer should pay attention to the whole concept,especially warming yang for patients with advanced tumors.The therapy of warming yang is an effective way to get rid of phlegm and blood stasis.Patients after radiotherapy and chemotherapy should be paid more attention to warming yang.

Objective To explore the protective role and mechanisms of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) on advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs)-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes. Methods The H9C2 cells were selected in this study and divided into blank control group,RSA control group,and groups treated with indicated concentrations of AOPPs with or without GLP-1,and AOPPs +GLP-1+LY294002 for 24 hours respectively. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The ROS level was detected by DCFH-DA fluorescent probe. The cell apoptosis was tested by fluorescent staining and flow cytometry. The expression of p-Akt,p-Bad,Bcl-2,Bax,and active-caspase-3 proteins were evaluated by Western blot. Results GLP-1 attenuated AOPPs-induced cytotoxicity[(0.929±0.083) vs (1.409±0.099),P<0.01],decreased AOPPs-induced ROS[(47.817±0.878)% vs (25.413±2.597)%,P<0.01] and apoptosis[(15.773±3.130)% vs (9.715±0.757)%,P<0.01]. GLP-1 improved AOPPs-induced phosphorylation of Akt and Bad,increased the expression of Bcl-2,and decreased the expression of Bax and the activation of caspase-3. Conclusion GLP-1 protects cardiomyocytes against AOPP-induced apoptosis,predominantly via the PI3K/Akt/Bad pathway.

Objective To observe the effect of ephedrine on the expression of eotaxin in human bronchial epithelial cells (16HBE) stimulated by tumor necrosis factor‐α(TNF‐α) and to explore the mechanism of Chinese medicine ephedra in treating asthma .Methods The in vitro cultured 16HBE were randomly divided into the control group ,TNF‐αstimulation group(TNF‐α20 ng/mL) and TNF‐αplus ephedrine group (TNF‐α20 ng/mL plus ephedrine 300 μg/mL) .Three complex holes in each group were set to culture for 18 h ,the eotaxin mRNA expression was measured by real time fluorescent quantified PCR and protein level was detected by immunocytochemical stain and Western blot .The eotaxin concentration in cells culture supernatant was quantified by ELISA .Results Compared with the the control group ,the expression level of eotaxin mRNA and protein ,and the concentration of eotaxin in cell culture supernatant in the TNF‐α stimulation group were increased obviously ,there being statisticaly significant difference between them(P<0 .01);however ,all above these parameters in the TNF‐αplus ephedrine group showed decreased obvi‐ously as compared with the TNF‐αgroup ,the difference between them was statistically significant (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Ephed‐rine can inhibit the expression and secretion of eotaxin in TNF‐α induced 16HBE inflammatory model ,which may be one of the mechanisms of Chinese medicine ephedra in treating asthma .

AIM:Todetecttheeffectofspironolactoneonhyperthyroxine-inducedatrialremodeling.METH-ODS:New Zealand rabbits were divided into control group ( C ) , hyperthyroxine group ( H ) and spironolactone group ( S) .Thyroxin was given to the rabbits in group H and group S by intraperitoneal injection for 4 weeks , and then spirono-lactone was given in group S by gavage for 2 weeks.Atrial fibrillation (AF) was induced by burststimulation after ad-ministration.The inducing rate of AF and atrial effective refractory period ( AERP) were tested by intra-cardiac electro-physiologic instrument.The expression of AF-related Ca2+channel (Cav1.2), K+channels (Kv1.5 and Kv4.3) and con-nexins (Cx40 and Cx43) at mRNA and protein levels was detected by real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot.RESULTS:Spironolactone reduced the inducing rate of AF .No significant difference of AERP between group H and group S was observed (P>0.05).Compared with group H, the protein expression of Cav1.2 was significant increased in group S (P<0.05).The expression of Kv1.5 at mRNA and protein levels in group S was significantly lower than that in group H (P<0.05), while the protein expression of Kv4.3 in group S was significantly decreased compared with group H (P<0.05).The mRNA expression of Cx43 in group S was significantly decreased compared with group H (P<0.01), whereas the protein expression of Cx 40 in group H was significantly higher than that in group S ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLU-SION:Spironolactone attenuates the hyperthyroxine-induced atrial remodeling in rabbits , and reduces the susceptibility of the myocardium to AF .

BACKGROUND:Previous research has demonstrated human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(HMSCs)differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells;however,biological characteristics and differentiation mechanism remain unclear,and differentiation system remains immature.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility of hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)and epidermal growth factor(EGF)to induce the differentiation of HMSCs into hepatocyte-like cells.METHODS:HMSC5 were obtained from patients with esophageal cancer and were separated by density gradient centrifugation combined with attachment method.The phenotypes of MSCs were identified by flow cytometry.The third-passage HMSCs were divided into four groups:HGF(adding 20 μg/L HGF),EGF(adding 20 μg/L EGF),HGF+EGF,and blank control groups.Morphology was observed using inverted microscope.At days 7 and 14 after induction,α-fetoprotein and albumin mRNA expressions were detected using RT-PCR assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The HMSCs did not express hematopoietic cell CD34 and CD35,but strongly expressed β1-integrin CD29 and matrix receptor CD44.HMSCs changed from long fusiform shape to polygon or similar round shape in the HGF,EGF,and HGF+EGF groups.At days 7 and 14 after induction,α-fetoprotein and albumin mRNA expressions were positive.However,polygon cells were not observed in the blank control group,and α-fetoprotein and albumin mRNA expressions were negative.This suggested that HGF,EGF,and HGF+EGF could induce the differentiation of HMSCs into hepatocyte-like cells;however,their differentiation ability still needs to be further semi-quantitatively analyzed using immunohistochemical staining.
