Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2014;29(4):299-302
Objective To investigate the correlation of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism and serum tamoxifen (TAM) and its active metabolites (4-hydroxy tamoxifen,4-OH-TAM) in terms of prognosis of breast cancer patients.Methods The oral mucosas and serum were obtained from 200 breast cancer patients receiving oral TAM from Jan 2008 to Oct 2010.Real-time RT-PCR was used to determine CYP2D6* 10 gene polymorphism.The relationship between CYP2D6* 10 gene polymorphism and clinicopathological features and prognosis was assessed by Chi-square test and Cox proportional model.Serum TAM and 4-OH-TAM concentration were determined by liquid chromatography-trap mass spectrometry (LC-MS).Results Of 200 breast cancer patients,CYP2D6 * 10/* 10 homozygotes were found in 94 cases (47%),CYP2D6 wt/wt wild type in 48 cases (24%) and CYP2D6 wt/* 10 heterozygote in 58 cases (29%).The concentration of serum 4-OH-TAM in patients with CYP2D6 wt/wt wild type and wt/* 10 heterozygote was significantly higher than that in patients with CYP2D6 * 10/ * 10 homozygote (F =4.31,P =0.01).CYP2D6 gene polymorphism was not related to clinicopathological features (P > 0.05).Logrank test showed that patient's disease-free survival with mutational CYP2D6 (mean,47.2 months) was significantly shorter than that in patients without mutational CYP2D6 (mean,51.2 months) (P =0.018).Cox proportional model showed that CYP2D6 genotype was related to disease-free survival (HR =2.755,95%CI:1.230 ~6.173,P =0.014).Conclusions CYP2D6 *10/* 10 genotype is related to curative effect of TAM on breast cancer patients,detection of CYP2D6 * 10/* 10 genotype helps improve the choice of TAM therapy.

Methods 15 518 subjects in 7 200 families aged 18~65 yrs were randomly selected from 3 cities and 3 counties by multi-stage stratified random cluster sampling.They were assessed for DSMⅢ-R diagnoses by face to face interview with Composite International Diagnostic Interview(CIDI-1.0). Results There were 13 359 subjects had finished the survey,and the response rate was 86.09%.The 2-week,12-month and lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders were 2.22%,4.60% and 7.21% regulated by Liaoning provincial population in 2000,and1.91%,3.97%and6.32% regulated by countrywide population in 2000.The major disorders were specific phobia and agoraphobia,and their lifetime prevalence were 3.80% and 3.04%,respectively.The people with higher prevalence were females,aged 25~55,with lower educational and economic level. Conclusion Anxiety disorders become a serious public health problem in Liaoning province.Prevention measures should be taken among people with high risk.
4.Molecular quantification for quality control of Jinqian Baihuashe in Jinlong Capsule
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2023;57(9):2771-2776
The quality control of Chinese patent medicines containing animal-derived crude drugs is relatively difficult, because the effective constituents of most animal-derived crude drugs remain unknown. Even if there are relevant methods, they are usually qualitative, and quantitative indicators are either lacking or have poor specificity. This paper has proposed to use molecular quantitative technology to control the quality of Chinese patent medicines containing animal-derived crude drugs. In this study, a molecular quantitative method based on fluorescence quantitative PCR was established for the determination of Jinqian Baihua She in Jinlong Capsule. The method has good specificity, sensitivity, and repeatability. There is a good linear relationship between the content of DNA fragments and the CT (cycle threshold) value. The content of the

Objective To explore impact of high pulmonary blood flow on the content and metabolism of collagen in rats.Methods Thirty-two male SD rats were randomly divided into shunt group and control group.Rats in shunt group were subjected to an abdominal aorta-inferior vena cava shunt to create an animal model of high pulmonary blood flow.In control group,rats experienced the same expe-rimental processes except the shunting procedure.After 4 and 11 weeks of experiment,these changes of pulmonaryartery collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-13)and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1) protein expression of rat were investigated by immunohistochemistry.Results After 4 weeks and 11 weeks of shunt,the collagen Ⅰ,collagen Ⅲ,MMP-13 and TIMP-1 of pulmonary artery in rats of shunt group increased significantly compared with those of control group,respectively(all P

Aim To study the role of TNF-α/NF-κB signaling in matrix metalloproteinase ( MMP)-9 expres-sion induced by lipopolysaccharide ( LPS ) in airway epithelial cells, and to investigate the effects of lenti-virus mediated RNAi targeting a disintegrin and metal-loproteinase 17 ( ADAM17 ) gene on MMP-9 expression induced by LPS. Methods The ADAM17 siRNA ex-pression vector was constructed, and packaged to re-combinant lentivirus in 293T cells. The HBE4-E6/E7 cells were pretreated for 30 min by NF-κB inhibitor ( PDTC) and a recombinant human TNFR p75-Fc fu-sion protein ( Etanercept) , or infected by the recombi-nant lentivirus for 72 h, and then stimulated for 24 h by LPS or TNF-α. The release of TNF-α was detected by ELISA. The mRNA and protein levels of MMP-9 were analyzed respectively by RT-PCR and Western blot. NF-κB activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Results LPS and TNF-α signifi-cantly increased MMP-9 mRNA and protein expressions and the activation of NF-κB in HBE4-E6/E7 cells ( P<0. 05 ) . Etanercept and PDTC significantly inhibited MMP-9 expression and the activation of NF-κB induced by LPS ( P<0. 05 ) . Lentivirus mediated RNAi targe-ting ADAM17 significantly decreased TNF-α produc-tion, inhibited MMP-9 mRNA and protein expressions and the activation of NF-κB induced by LPS in HBE4-E6/E7 cells ( P <0. 05 ) . Lentivirus mediated RNAi targeting ADAM17 did not inhibit MMP-9 mRNA and protein expressions and the activation of NF-κB in-duced by TNF-α ( P>0. 05 ) . And PDTC significantly inhibited MMP-9 mRNA and protein expressions and the activation of NF-κB induced by TNF-α ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusions TNF-α/NF-κB signaling partic-ipates in the regulation of MMP-9 expression induced by LPS in airway epithelial cells, and lentivirus-media-ted RNAi targeting ADAM17 plays an important role in that signaling pathway upstream by regulating TNF-αrelease.

Based on hydroxyapatite (HAP), a kind of antimicrobial ceramic, i.e. hydroxyapatite loading Ag+ ions (HAP-Ag), is prepared in a wet chemical process with the addition of AgNO3. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the HAP-Ag is mainly composed of nitrate-apatite, which is formed by the substitution of Ca2+ with Ag+. The antimicrobial effects of the HAP-Ag and its resistibility against the acrobic Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are tested respectively through the spread plate method. The results show that HAP-Ag is capable of inhibiting the growths of E.coli and S.aureus.
