1.RET targeted treatment of medullary thyroid carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(10):764-767
Medullary thyroid carcinoma(MTC), which includes sporadic type and hereditary type, is a kind of malignant tumor in thyroid parafollicular cells. MTC is the common clinical character of the multiple en-docrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2), including MEN 2A and MEN 2B, and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma(FMTC). The RET gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, its mutations and polymorphisms can induce acti-vation of the BET tyrosine kinase domain via different signal pathways resulting the genesis of MTC. RET has been used as a target for MTC molecular therapy. However, a clinically useful therapeutic option for treating pa-tients with RET-associated cancer is still not available.

Objective: Our aim was to discuss the pathological characteristics and immunophenotype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in Shenyang. Methods: Histopathological observation was performed with immunohistochemical methods (SP method). We used 10 antibodies as B,T markers to analyze 76 cases of NHL according to the new WHO classification. Results: The B-NHL was more prevalent than the T-NHL. In B-NHL, the Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma (DLBL) was the most common, next was the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma (+/-monocytoid B-cells) and lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL). In T-NHL, the peripheral T cell lymphoma unspecificly accounted most. The positivity rates of CD79a in B-NHL were 100% and its cross-reactivity was 0. The straining rates of polyclonal CD3 with T cell were 88% and CD3 only reacted with 5% of B-NHL. Conclusion: The NHL in Shenyang was marked by the most common DLBL and peripheral T cell lymphoma, unspecificly. The rates of monocytoid lymphoma and LPL were higher. The CD79a and CD3 were antibodies of B-cell and T-cell markers with high sensitivity and specificity, respectively.

Objective To explore more suitable calculation method of the insulin dosage in insulin hypoglycemia-growth hormone stimulation test(insulin tolerance test, ITT). Methods Fifty-six subjects suspected of growth hormone deficiency were divided into primary and secondary onset groups. All the patients took oral glucose tolerance test and ITT. Homeostasis model of assessment for insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index ( ISI), area under insulin curve ( AUCINS ) and the area under glucose curve ( AUCPG ) were calculated. The insulin dosages during ITT between two groups were compared and the main factors influencing the insulin dosage were analyzed. Results There was no difference in the insulin dosage during ITT between primary and secondary groups. The actual dosage of insulin in this cohort study revealed a significant difference from the initial insulin dosage recommended by the guideline. Multiple linear regression analysis found that AUCINS and body mass index were the independent factors affecting the insulin dosage. Then the optimized coefficient of ITT ( γ) were found. Conclusion The insulin dosage used in our study was inconsistent with the guidelines-recommended ones. In order to make ITT more efficient and safer, a more optimized calculation method to improve the successful rate of insulin-induced hypoglycemia in ITT is proposed.
