Objective To investigate the effects of glutamine (Gln) on proliferation and survival of small cell lung cancer H446 cells, and further to explore the potential mechanism. Methods The proliferation of H446 cells was detected at different time points (0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h) by CCK-8 assay in Gln (+) group and Gln (-) group, and an optimal time was selected. Under the optimal time, Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, CellTiter-Glo? assay kit and flow cytometer were used to detect cell survival, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Gln (-) group was used as the control group, under the condition of Gln deficiency, cellular ATP, cell proliferation and survival were detected after adding oxaloacetic acid (OAA) or dimethyl-α-ketoglutarate (DM-αKG). Gln (-) group was used as the control group, cellular ROS, cell proliferation, colony and survival were detected after treated with ROS scavenger N- acetyl cysteine (NAC). With different concentrations (0, 2, 5, 10 μmol/L) of glutaminase inhibitor BPTES, the optimal concentration was selected through the colony assay. The cellular ATP and ROS levels and cell proliferation were detected under the optimal concentration. H446 cells were treated with bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) ethyl sulfide (BPTES), ROS inducer hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or the combination of them, and cell survival ratio was compared between two groups. Results The proliferation levels of H446 cells at 24, 48, which were decreased most significantly in 72 h in Gln (-) group. When 72 h was used as the optimal time, the cell survival ratio and ATP level were decreased, and the ROS level was increased, in Gln (-) group compared with those of Gln (+) group (P<0.05). There was a higher survival ratio in H446 cells in Gln (-)+OAA group and Gln (-)+DM-αKG group than that of Gln (-) group (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in cell proliferation and ATP levels between Gln (-) group, Gln (-)+OAA group and Gln (-)+DM-αKG group. The ROS level was reduced, the cell proliferation, colony level and survival ratio were increased in Gln (-)+NAC group compared with those of Gln (-) group (P<0.05). Cloning assay showed that 10μmol/L was the optional concentration. Under this concentration, the proliferation and ATP level were decreased in Gln(+)+BPTES group (P<0.05), and cellular ROS level was up-regulated compared with Gln(+) group. The survival ratio was significantly lower in BPTES+H 2O2 group compared with BPTES (+) group or H2O2 (+) group. Conclusion Glutamine deficiency inhibits the proliferation and survival ratio of H446 cells through enhancing ROS level. BPTES and H2O2 show synergistically inhibitory effect on the survival of H446 cells.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of nephrotic syndrome induced by sunitinib, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang data, PubMed, Web of Science and Medline, case report about sunitinib-induced nephrotic syndrome were collected from the inception to Oct. 30th, 2022. Those case reports were analyzed statistically in terms of gender, age, primary disease, drug use, clinical manifestations, treatment and outcome. RESULTS A total of 15 pieces of literature were collected and 17 patients were involved, including 10 males and 7 females. The average age of patients was (59.35±15.72) years. Among 17 patients, there were 10 patients with renal cell carcinoma and 7 patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, all of whom received evidence-based medication; the dosage of sunitinib in 15 cases was recorded, and all of them were within the recommended range of the instructions; 9 patients received combined therapy; the time from sunitinib application to the occurrence of nephrotic syndrome was 21 days-52 months, of which 11 cases were ≤2 years. The clinical manifestations in 13 patients were described, including edema, oliguria, foamy urine, weight gain, fatigue, dyspnea on exertion, etc. Eight patients had other adverse reactions induced by sunitinib before suffering from nephrotic syndrome, including new hypertension or worsening of original hypertension, and hand-foot syndrome. Renal biopsy mainly manifested as thrombotic microangiopathy, focal segmental glomerular sclerosis and immune complex glomerulonephritis. Sunitinib withdrawal or dosage reduction was adopted in all patients, and they were given symptomatic treatment such as glucocorticoids and antihypertensive agents. Symptoms of 16 patients were improved, and renal function of one patient deteriorated and hemodialysis was started. Sunitinib was re-challenged in 6 patients, elevated creatinine and substantial proteinuria recurred in 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS In clinical use of sunitinib, it is advisable to periodically monitor renal function. In case of deterioration of renal function, albuminuria, edema, etc., relevant examinations should be implemented in time, and symptomatic intervention should be taken as soon as possible. Besides, we should be alert to the recurrence of nephrotic syndrome after sunitinib rechallenge.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical characteristics of liraglutide-induced pancreatitis, and to provide reference for clinical rational drug use. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, VIP, Wanfang database, PubMed, Web of Science and Medline, case reports about liraglutide-induced pancreatitis were collected from the inception to December 31st, 2022. Demographic characteristics, drug use, clinical manifestations, intervention and outcome were analyzed using descriptive statistical method. RESULTS A total of 17 pieces of literature were collected and 17 patients were involved, including 7 males and 10 females. The patients aged from 25 to 75 years. All 17 patients had drug indications, including 14 cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus, 3 cases of obesity or overweight. Among 17 patients, liraglutide was used alone in 5 cases, and combined with other drugs in 12 cases. Time from liraglutide administration to pancreatitis occurrence ranged from 1 day to 11 months after medication in 17 patients, with 14 cases less than 6 months. The clinical manifestations mainly included abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, etc. After the diagnosis of pancreatitis, liraglutide discontinuation occurred in 16 patients; 1 case did not receive any other interventions and the other 15 cases were managed with symptomatic supportive treatment; the symptoms of all 16 patients resolved; however, 2 patients suffered from second episode of severe pancreatitis several weeks after liraglutide discontinuation, pancreatitis recurred after liraglutide rechallenge in 1 case. The results of correlation evaluation showed that 1 case was “positive”, 4 cases were “possible”, and the remaining patients were “very likely”. CONCLUSIONS Liraglutide-induced pancreatitis mainly occurred within 6 months after drug administration. The majority of liraglutide-induced pancreatitis cases are mild to moderate, but there are also severe and even fatal cases. It is advisable to periodically monitor the level of pancreatic enzymes and closely observe patients’ clinical mani-festations. In case of suspected liraglutide-induced pancreatitis,drug withdrawal and symptomatic treatment should be taken immediately.
