Practical Oncology Journal 2014;(4):377-381
Chemotherapy is one of the three most common treatment modalities for cancer .However , chemotherapy as current firstline therapy induces significant side effects and limited efficacy ,leading to multidrug resistance and fast recurrence challenging the patient survival rate .Drug metabolizing enzymes ( DMEs) and efflux transporters promote the metabolism,clearance,and detoxification of chemotherapeutic agents .Nuclear receptors, especially pregnane X receptor (PXR,NR112)and constitutive androstane activated receptor (CAR,NR113),reg-ulate the expressions of target genes that could encode phase I DMEs ,phase II DMEs,and efflux transporters in the development of multidrug resistance ( MDR) during chemotherapy .Recent studies have revealed that PXR and CAR play pivotal roles in MDR of various human carcinomas .And their expressve levels or activation statuses could predict the risk of drug resistance in the patients subjected to chemotherapy .Accordingly ,PXR/CAR antag-onists,combining with existing chemotherapeutics that activate PXR /CAR,are promising options that could over-come MDR in cancer.

BACKGROUND:Short-segment pedicle screw technology has been extensively used in the treatment and repair of thoracolumbar burst fractures in the clinic. However, it requires further investigations whether bone graft through unilateral pedicle channel has superiority. <br> OBJECTIVE:To observe the perioperative effects on thoracolumbar burst fractures posterior by bone graft through unilateral pedicle channel with short pedicle screw segment fixation. <br> METHODS:Clinical data of 57 cases of thoracolumbar burst fractures without neurological symptoms treated by short segment pedicle screw internal fixation therapeutic method at the Department of Orthopedics, The First People’s Hospital of Yinchuan City from January 2009 to December 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. According to therapeutic methods, they were divided into three groups:pedicle screw fixation through injured vertebrae (n=21), unilateral pedicle screw fixation with vertebrae pedicle screw (n=19), and the short segment pedicle screw fixation with unilateral pedicle screw fixation and bone graft through pedicle channel (n=17). We observed the changes in operation time, the blood loss volume in operation, postoperative drainage blood (at the period of removing the drainage tube), injured vertebrae height’s ratio, the Cobb’s angel of injured vertebrae sagittal plane, vertebral canal encroachment rate and visual analog scale. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The unilateral pedicle screw fixation and bone graft by pedicle channel could prolong operation time and increase postoperative drainage blood volume (P<0.05). (2) Three operation methods improved vertebral body height. (3)There were no significant differences in Cobb’s angle postoperation among the three groups (P>0.05). These data suggested that the bone graft through pedicle channel was not the factors to improve the spine kyphosis. (4) Bone graft by pedical channel improved vertebrae channel value. (5) Bone graft through pedicle channel combined with screw implantation could improve pain after treatment. These findings indicated that the therapeutic technology of short pedicle screw fixation on thoracolumbar vertebral burst fracture with unilateral pedicle fixation and bone graft through pedicle channel is a safe reliable operation method.

【Objective】To study the effect of the specific p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase(p38 MAPK) inhibitor SB203580 on apoptosis of cerebellar granule neurons induced by low potassium.【Methods】Apoptosis was induced by switching the cultured cerebellar granule neurons from a culture medium containing K+ 25 mmol*L-1 to a medium containing K+ 5 mmol*L-1 (cLK).Fragmentation of DNA was analyzed using agarose gel eletrophoresis.SAPK/JNK activity was measured by SAPK/JNK assay kit.【Results】Low potassium resulted in apoptosis as characterized by morphological and biochemical features,but the specific p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 improved the survival of cerebellar granule neurons cultured in cLK medium by blocking apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner.The expression and phosphorylation of c-Jun increased and the activity of c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase (JNK) elevated when cerebellar granule neurons were cultured in cLK medium.But when the cerebellar granule neurons cultured in cLK medium were exposed to 25 μmol*L-1 SB203580,the expression and phosphorylation of c-Jun and the activity of JNK were both decreased evidently.【Conclusions】These results indicate that SB203580 inhibits the activation of JNK and phosphorylation of c-Jun,and therefore protects granule neurons from apoptosis induced by low potassium.
