[Summary] A selection of 528 unrelated subjects were enrolled(198 males, 330 females) with the mean age of(52. 23 ± 13. 41) years old. According to body mass index, 253 persons belonged to the normal weight group and 275 persons overweight/ obesity group. A total of 10 SNPs in CIDEB and CIDEC genes were detected. SHEsis online were used to get the haplotypes of these two genes. The relationship between above SNPs and obesity were analyzed under additive inheritance pattern. The main effects and interaction on obesity induced by two genes’ haplotypes were analyzed by logistic regression. rs2144493 in CIDEB gene was associated with obesity, C was a protective alleles, OR (95% CI) equals 0. 722(0. 525-0. 992). CCTT haplotype of CIDEB gene carriers and GCG haplotype of CIDEC gene carriers were more prone to obesity or overweight, there was an interaction between the haplotypes of 2 genes. CIDEB, CIDEC haplotypes may play independent and interactive roles in causing obesity.

Objective To analyze the factors affecting the efficacy of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in node-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods 480 patients with stage N_1-N_2 NSCLC after radical surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Of them, 267 patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 121 received PORT. All patients were grouped based on the N stage, tumor size and lymph node positive ratio (the percentage of positive lymph nodes from the detected lymph nodes, LNPR). Group 1 included patients with tumor size ≤3 cm and LNPR ≤33%, group 2 was tumor size > 3 cm or LNPR > 33%, and group 3 was tumor size > 3 cm and LNPR > 33%. The endpoints were the local recurrence free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier method and Cox's proportional hazards regression model were used for the statistic analyses. Results PORT improved the overall survival only in patients with N_2 disease. Both tumor size and LNPR significantly influenced the efficacy of PORT. The 5-year LRFS for patients with vs. without PORT in the group 1, 2 and 3 were 55% vs. 60% (χ~2 = 0.03,P-0.869), 42% vs. 50% (χ~2 =0.31,P=0.547),and 62% vs. 52% (χ~2=4.25,P=0.036), respectively;and the corresponding OS were 22% vs. 50% (χ~2 = 1.65 ,P =0. 199), 26% vs. 22% (χ~2= 0. 13,P=0.786) and 42% vs. 16% (χ~2= 15.33,P=0.000), respectively. Conclusions Tumor size and LNPR significantly impact the efficacy of PORT . For patients with stage N_2 NSCLC , PORT could improve local recurrence free survival and overall survival when tumor size > 3 cm and LNPR >33%.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a key transcription factor on hypoxia responses in mammalian tissues. HIF-1 plays as a positive factor in solid tumor and leads to hypoxia-driven responses that enhance its downstream gene expression for tumor growth and survival. LXY6099 was obtained by the structural modification and optimization of manassantin A (MA) as a high potent HIF-1 inhibitor. Antitumor activity of LXY6099 was observed in this study. LXY6099 with an IC50 value of 2.46 x 10(-10) mol x L(-1) showed more sensitive inhibition activity to HIF-1 than that of MA detected by reporter gene assay (> 100 folds). It showed strong inhibition on the growth of human solid tumor cell lines. Furthermore, LXY6099 exhibited significant antitumor activity against established human tumor xenografts in nu/nu mice with treatment of MX-1 breast cancer. Thus, LXY6099 as a novel HIF-1 inhibitor could be further developed into anti-cancer agents.

Objective To investigate the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and genotyping of the main β-lactamases in China. Methods A total of 645 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates were collected from 28 hospitals in 16 cities in China from July 2006 to July 2007. The susceptibilities to 11 kinds of antimicrobial agents were detected by agar dilution or Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method. The genotypes of β-lactamases including TEM, SHV, CTX-M and OXA of all the strains were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequence analysis. Results The resistance rates of 645 Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates to antimicrobial agents were high, except those to amikacin and meropenem were lower than 30 %. Two hundred and seventy-five (42. 64 % ) strains were carbapenem and (or) meropenem-nonsusceptible Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Three hundred and sixty-eight (57.05 %) strains were multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 20 (3. 10%) strains were pandrug-resistant. The genotyping results of β-lactamases were as follows: 51 stains produced OXA-10 group β-lactamases, 37 were CARB type, 36 were TEM, 35 were PER, 11 were CTX-M, 9 were VEB, 5 were SHV, 24 were metallo-β-lactamases positive and 1 was GES. None of genotypes of plasmidmediated AmpC enzyme and other carbapenemases were detected. CTX-M-13, CTX-M-14,CTX-M-15, CTX-M-3 of extended spetrum β-lactamese were detected in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Conclusions The situation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistances is severe in China. OXA-10 and PSE-1 are the most common genotypes of β-lactamases. The β-lactamases genotyping is different between carbapenem-nonsusceptible and carbapenem-susceptible strains.

Aim To investigate the anti-tumor effects of FS-108 an Hsp90 inhibitor, on oncogene addicted EBC-1 and A375 cells. Methods SRB assay was performed to investigate cell proliferation. Immunoblot was conducted to investigate the specific proteins. FACS was conducted to test cell cycle distribution and apoptosis. Transwell assay was conducted to investigate cell motility. Results FS-108 significantly suppressed cell proliferation of EBC-1 and A375 cancer cells with IC50 at 25. 53 nmol · L-1 and 30. 02 nmol · L-1 re-spectively. FS-108 treatment triggered the degradation of key client proteins such as c-Met and B-Raf and thereby reduced their downstream AKT and ERK signa-ling pathways. The FACS analysis results demonstrated that FS-108 treatment induced G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis significantly. Furthermore, FS-108 inhibited the migration of EBC-1 and A375 cells. Conclusion As a potent Hsp90 inhibitor, FS-108 can inhibit onco-gene addicted cancer cells proliferation through induc-tion of G2/M phase arrest and apoptosis.
