Colorectal cancer(CRC)ranks the third in incidence and mortality rate among human tumors. Tumor relapse,me?tastasis and drug resistance remain the main obstacle to the success of CRC treatments. Compared to traditional chemotherapy ,target therapy seems to treat tumors in more precise and rational fashion with good response and often less toxic side-effect. Although target agents provide hope for more effective therapy,recent clinical studies have shown only modest benefit from target therapy similar to tra?ditional chemotherapy. Primary and secondary resistance to target agents is still observed and contributes to CRC treatment failure. The review summarizes research progress in the mechanism of drug resistance to target therapy in CRC treatment.

Objective:To explore the effect of different doses of lidocaine on recovery quality of patients with iodine-deficiency goiter after general anesthesia resection.Methods:Using a prospective design, 108 patients who underwent iodine-deficiency goiter resection in Yantai Yeda Hospital from April 2018 to April 2020 were selected as the research subjects. The patients were divided into control group (normal saline), lidocaine group A (1 mg/kg) and lidocaine group B (2 mg/kg) by random number table method, 36 cases in each group. The corresponding dose of lidocaine or the equivalent dose of normal saline was pumped into the vein after anesthesia induction and intubation for 30 minutes. The changes in the diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and blood glucose (GLU) levels of the three groups were observed before administration, immediately after the operation, immediately after opening the eyes, immediately after extubation, and 10 minutes after extubation; at the same time, arousal and restlessness score (RS), sedation score (Ramsay), visual analogue score (VAS) and adverse reactions(coughing, nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression) occurrence were recorded.Results:At the moment of eye opening, immediately after extubation and 10 minutes after extubation, DBP (mmHg: 77.26 ± 4.85, 73.45 ± 4.37, 70.94 ± 4.45, 83.53 ± 6.19, 77.86 ± 5.33, 74.14 ± 5.20, 73.86 ± 5.73, 68.41 ± 5.16, 63.09 ± 5.24), SBP (mmHg: 129.17 ± 6.54, 121.25 ± 6.07, 116.24 ± 5.86, 137.48 ± 6.62, 129.53 ± 6.38, 123.07 ± 6.25, 125.65 ± 6.13, 117.48 ± 6.09, 108.17 ± 6.04), GLU level (mmol/L: 5.83 ± 0.36, 5.37 ± 0.29, 5.12 ± 0.26, 6.69 ± 0.34, 5.84 ± 0.30, 5.57 ± 0.27, 5.61 ± 0.32, 5.25 ± 0.31, 4.97 ± 0.28) of lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were significantly lower than those of control group, the difference were statistically significant ( F=17.520, 25.755, 36.034, 41.028, 45.525, 74.330, 10.397, 49.756, 52.348, P < 0.05); among them, the DBP, SBP and GLU levels of lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were lower than those of control group, and lidocaine group B was lower than lidocaine group A ( P < 0.05). The RS and VAS of lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were significantly lower than those of control group, and Ramsay was higher than that of control group ( P < 0.05); and the RS and VAS of lidocaine group B were lower than those of lidocaine group A, the Ramsay was higher than that of lidocaine group A ( P < 0.05). The incidence of coughing, nausea and vomiting in lidocaine group A and lidocaine group B were lower than those in the control group ( P < 0.05); and there was no respiratory depression in the three groups. Conclusions:Thrity minutes after induction of anesthesia, continuous pumping of 2 mg/kg lidocaine can maintain blood pressure and GLU of patients undergoing general anesthesia for iodine-deficiency goiter, and effectively reduce restlessness, pain and adverse reactions during the recovery period. It is a satisfactory dose for thyroid surgery patients to wake up and comfortably.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of bevacizumab ,an anti-human vascular endothelial growth factor monoclonal antibody,on pulmonary dissemination of colorectal cancer. METHODS A metastatic colorectal cancer mouse model was established. Mice were randomly divided into two groups(n=8). The mice in experimental group were administered ip with bevacizumab at the dosage of 5 mg · kg-1,and those in control group were given isotype IgG at the same dosage. The antibodies were administered on 2 d before initiation of model establishment and 2 d after that,then once every 5 d for 4 weeks,for a total of 7 times. Liver and lung metastases were determined by histopathological examination. The chemokine receptor C-X-C receptor 4(CXCR4)and its ligand C-X-C ligand 12(CXCL12)mRNA expression in the lung were detected by quantitative RT-PCR. Human colon cancer cells HCT116 were treated with bevacizumab(5 mg·L-1)for 24 h. The expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1(VEGFR1)and CXCR4/7 protein as well as CXCR3/4/7 mRNA were examined by Western blotting and quantitative RT-PCR respectively. RESULTS The number of mice(2/8) with liver metastases was reduced,while the number of mice(8/8) with lung metastases increased in experimental group compared with isotype IgG-treated group(6/8 and 2/8 respectively,P<0.05). The mRNA expression level of CXCR4 and CXCL12 in lung tissue was significantly up-regulated in bevacizumab-treated group com?pared with control group(P<0.05). The mRNA and protein expression level of CXCR4 and CXCR7 was dramatically increased in HCT116 cells treated with bevacizumab(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Bevacizumab can potentially promote lung metastases of colorectal cancer,which may be related to up-regulation of CXCR4 and CXCL12 expression.

Objective To explore the effect of DR on the expression of inhibitory neurotransmitter ,γ-aminobutyric acid ( GABA) and brain derived neurotrophic factor ( BDNF) in the primary visual cortex of young cats .Methods Totally 6 cats were wsed in this study . Nissl staining was used for cortical layer identification and cell counting . Immunohistochemical techniques were utilized to label GABA-and BDNF-positive neurons .Sections were observed under an Olympus light microscope and photographed with a digital camera .The cell density and absorbance of immunoreactivity were measured with Image-Pro Express 6.0 softwares .Results Our results showed that the mean density of Nissl-stained neurons in the primary visual cortex ( V1) of the DR group showed no significant difference from that of the control group . However , the mean density of GABA-immunoreactive neurons in each cortical layer of V 1 in DR cats was significantly higher than that in control cats .The mean immunoreactive intensity of GABA-positive neurons , as indicated by the average absorbance , increased significantly in DR cats relative to control ones . Accompanied with the elevation of GABA expression, DR enhanced BDNF expression in V1, as indicated by an increased mean density of BDNF-positive neurons and BDNF-immunoreactive average absorbance in DR cats relative to controls .Conclusion These results indicate that dietary restriction leads to a concurrent expression upregulation of GABA and BDNF , which may likely compensate for brain functional degradation during senescence and thus delay aging process .
