1.Resistance mechanisms of trastuzumab and treatment strategies in patients with breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(4):274-277
In the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) overexpressing breast cancer,some patients have drug resistance to trastuzumab.Potential mechanisms of resistance to trastuzumab include impaired access of trastuzumab to Her-2 ; alternative signaling from insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R),hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR) and so on; aberrant downstream signaling caused by loss of phosphatase and tensin homologs deleted from chromosome 10 (PTEN);phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic alpha polypeptide gene (PIK3CA) mutation; over-expression of heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) and CD44. Additionally,potential strategies for overcoming resistance to trastuzumab include using new targeted medicines,such as pertuzumab,lapatinib and trastuzumab-DM1.

Objective To discuss the clinical treatment of unstable dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint with clavicle hook plates. Methods From April 2005 to October 2007, 19 cases of unstable dislo-cation of stemoclavicular joint were treated with open reduction and internal fixation by clavicle hook plates. There were 17 cases of Grade type Ⅲ and 2 cases of Grade type Ⅱ. After open reduction and internal fixation, all patients received arthroplasty and repair of eostoclavicular and sternoclavicular ligaments. Results None had intraoperative injury to nerves and blood vessels. Follow-ups from 6 to 24 (mean, 8) months showed 16 excellent cases, 2 good cases and 1 fair case by Roekwood criteria, the good to excellent rate being 94.7%. The healing duration lasted 3 to 6 (averaging 4) weeks. No infection, sliding or loosening of internal fixation, nonunion or re-dislocation was found postoperatively. Conclusion The clavicle hook plate is an effective and advanced surgical treatment of sternoclavieular joint injuries, because its easy and mini-invasive operation can provide sturdy fixation and lead to good functional recovery.

Objective To investigate the effect of therapeutic dual-plasmid HBV DNA vaccine on specific humoral and cellular immunity in cancrivorous monkey (Macaca fascicularis). Methods The eukaryotic expression plasmids encoding human IL-2 and IFN-? fusion protein (pFP) were constructed to enhance the cellular immunity of therapeutic HBV DNA vaccine (pS2.S) encoding HBV envelope middle protein in the form of dual-plasmid (pS2.S+pFP). Thirty cancrivorous monkeys were randomly divided into 5 groups (6 each) with sex rotio of 1∶1, namely the dual-plasmid DNA vaccine group in high dosage (2000?g/kg), medium dosage (660?g/kg), low dosage (200?g/kg), and EP-mediated pFP (330?g/kg) or PBS administration groups as the controls. The monkeys were vaccinated repeatedly with the dual-plasmid HBV DNA vaccine, and then the immune responses including level of serum anti-HBs and number of IFN-? secreting T-cells induced by HBsAg were examined by means of enzyme-linked immunosobent assay (ELISA) and enzyme-linked immunosobent spot assay (ELISPOT) respectively. Results Ten weeks after immunization of HBV DNA vaccine, various levels of serum anti-HBs was detected in all the monkeys of three different dose groups. Sixteen weeks after administration of EP-mediated HBV DNA vaccine, the positive HBsAg-specific INF-? T cell responses was found in 3, 2 and 3 out of 3 monkeys, respectively in the high, medium and low losage groups, and HBsAg-specific INF-? T cell responses were positive in all the animals with the respective cell count of 30.0?13.5 SFCs/3?105 PBMCs, 30.7?26.3 SFCs/3?105 PBMCs and 17.7?6.4 SFCs/3?105 PBMCs in each corresponding group at the 29th week. However, HBsAg-specific INF-? T cell responses were negative in the pFP and PBS group at the same time. Conclusion Electroporation-mediated vaccination of the HBV DNA vaccine can effectively induce both humoral and cellular HBsAg-specific immune responses in cancrivorous monkeys.

Objective To find a novel operative modality with sphincter preservation in the treatment of middle and low rectal carcinoma. Methods Pull through lower resection was performed on 28 rectal cancer patients. The distance between the anal verge and the lower margin of the tumor was 6~8cm(20 patients) or 8~10cm(8 patients), including 8 patients in Dukes A stage, 16 Dukes B and 4 Dukes C. The resected line from tumor distal margin was 2cm, 3cm, and 4cm, respectively. Results There was no operative death, anastomotic fistula or anastomotic stenosis in these cases. Mean follow up period was 30 months. Local recurrence was found in two cases (7.1%) 18 months after the operation, and 26 cases were cancer free till the end of the follow up. Defecation was satisfactorily controlled 8~12 weeks after the operation. Conclusions Pull through Welch procedure could meet the criterion of the radical resection of rectal carcinoma,and keep the internal and external sphincter muscles intact in the superior lower anterior resection. The normal defecationcan can maintain after the operation due to the preservation of internal and external sphincter muscles.
