Microtubule inhibitor has been a hot area of anticancer drugs research.Microtubule inhibitor exert an anti-tumor effect by promoting or inhibiting the microtubule aggregation to break the dynamic balance of microtubule,hindering the spindle forma-tion of tumor cells,and then blocking the process of cell divi-sion.Mitotic catastrophe is a cell death phenomenon that is caused by abnormal cell division and damage of spindle structure in cell mitosis phase.In recent years more and more attention has been paid to mitotic catastrophe cell death because it has
been confirmed clinically that microtubule inhibitors can induce mitotic catastrophe death of tumor cells.This paper reviews the latest research progress of microtubule inhibitors,and discusses the molecular mechanisms of mitotic catastrophe cell death tumor cells induced by microtubule inhibitors.

BACKGROUND:Multimodal analgesia provides sufficient analgesia in renal recipients and appears to be associated with the recovery of renal function after transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of multimodal analgesia with dezocine on postoperative immunity after renal transplantation, and discuss the appropriate analgesic drugs and methods for patients with renal transplantation. METHODS:Forty patients undergoing renal transplantation were randomly divided into two groups. They al received general anesthesia combined with epidural blockage. Control group received intramuscular injection of analgesic drugs when needed, while dezocine group received multimodal analgesia:preemptive anaIgesia with dezocine+patient-control ed epidural analgesia. The heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and saturation of blood oxygen were detected before anesthesia, 12, 24, 48 hours after transplantation. T lymphocyte subsets, interleukin-2, interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels in venous blood were measured before anesthesia, 12, 24, 48 hours after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with before anesthesia, the CD4+, CD8+cellsubset counts, CD4+/CD8+ratio, the levels of interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 were decreased significantly (P<0.05), and the levels of interleukin were significantly increased after transplantation in the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative CD4+cellsubset counts, the levels of interleukin-2 and interleukin-6 were significantly lower at 12 hours after transplantation than that before anesthesia (P<0.05), then recovered to normal levels at 24 hours in dezocine group. The postoperative CD8+cellsubset counts, CD8+and CD4+/CD8+ratio were not changed before and after transplantation in the dezocine group. The levels of interleukin-10 in the dezocine group were significantly increased at 48 hours after transplantation compared with before anesthesia (P<0.05), which was stil lower than that in control group (P<0.05). Multimodal analgesia with dezocine can effectively protect the immune system, promote short-term turnover of renal function, and prolong graft survival for patients with renal transplantation.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS)after low anterior resection of rectal cancer (Dixon).Methods:This retrospective study was conducted in Peking University First Hospital and Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Shanxi Provice from Jan 2012 to Jun 2019. A cohort of 504 patients with rectal cancer was enrolled in the study. All the patients underwent anterior resection. The relationship between clinical-pathological data were analyzed retrospectively. Univariate analysis using χ 2 test. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influencing factors of LARS, and the Nomogram method was used to score each factors. Results:Univariate analysis showed that BMI≥28 kg/m 2(χ 2=9.450, P=0.002), the distance from the lower edge of the tumors to the anus <6 cm (χ 2=12.070, P=0.001), high ligation of the inferior mesenteric artery (IMA) (χ 2=8.279, P=0.004), preoperative neoadjuvant therapy (χ 2=11.230, P=0.001), postoperative anastomotic leakage (χ 2=11.840, P=0.001) were associated with severe LARS.Multivariate analysis showed that the distance from the lower edge of the tumors to the anus <6 cm ( OR=1.861, 95% CI: 1.289-2.688, P=0.001), BMI≥28 kg/m 2 ( OR=1.747, 95% CI: 1.022-2.987, P=0.041), high IMA ligation ( OR=1.688, 95% CI: 1.157-2.463, P=0.007), preoperative neoadjuvant therapy ( OR=2.719, 95% CI: 1.343-5.505, P=0.005) were independent risk factors for LARS. Nomogram model showed that the total factor ranged from 2 to 212, and the corresponding risk rate ranged from 30% to 80%. The patients with higher score have greater risk for severe LARS. The area under the predictive power curve of Nomogram model (AUC) was 0.749 (95% CI: 0.705-0.793, P<0.001). Conclusion:Lower tumor location, obesity, preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, high IMA ligation and postoperative anastomotic leakage increase the risk of severe LARS.

Objective: To analyze the clinical features in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) combining left ventricular apical aneurysm (LVAA) . Methods: A total of 1194 HCM patients treated in our hospital from 2007-01 to 2013-01 were studied. There were 23 (1.93%) patients combining with LVAA including 19 male and 4 female; coronary artery disease (CAD) was excluded and the patients received echocardiography and coronary angiography (CAG) examinations. Results: There were 21/23 LVAA patients having left mid-ventricular obstruction and 7 of them combining simultaneous left ventricular outflow obstruction.The average pressure gradient in those 21 patients was (56.8 ± 12.9) mmHg and the rest 2 patients suffered from apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.The mean maximum thickness of left ventricular wall was (21.8 ± 6.3) mm and the dimension of left ventricle was (39.4 ± 5.2) mm. Electrocardiography showed that 3 patients had paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia;CAG indicated that 6 patients combined with coronary artery muscular bridge at left anterior descending (LAD) artery. The patients were followed-up for (2.7 ± 1.3) years and adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 5 patients during that period. Conclusion: HCM combining LVAA was most frequently happened in patients with left mid-ventricular hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, some of them combining simultaneous left ventricular outflow obstruction and had the higher occurrence rate of adverse cardiovascular events. Early and accurate diagnosis is very important for guiding clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the role and its mechanism of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Methods Sixty male C57BL/6J mice aged 9-11 weeks were randomly divided into sham operation group, PSCI group, and infliximab group. A PSCI model was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion. The infliximab group was given infliximab intraperitoneally (10 mg/kg, twice a week), and the PSCI group was injected with an equal volume of normal saline. Water maze and light-dark transition tests were used to evaluate cognitive impairment. Western blot analysis was used to detect hippocampal TNF-α and interleukin-18 ( IL-18 ). The levels of kynurenine and tryptophan in hippocampus were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), and the changes of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity (the ratio of kynurenine to tryptophan) were evaluated. Results Morris water maze experiment shows that the escape latency of mice was significantly prolonged in the PSCI group, the target quadrant stay time was significantly shortened, and the number of crossing target quadrants was significantly reduced compared with the sham operation group (all P < 0. 05). The escape latency of the infliximab group was significantly shorter than that of the PSCI group, the target quadrant stay time was significantly prolonged, and the number of crossings increased significantly ( all P < 0. 05 ). Light-dark transition test shows that the latency of the mice was significantly shortened and the number of errors was significantly increased in the PSCI group (all P < 0. 05). The latency of the infliximab group was significantly prolonged compared with the PSCI group, and the number of errors was significantly reduced (all P < 0. 05). Compared with the sham operation group, the levels of TNF-α and IL-18 in the mouse hippocampus of the PSCI group were significantly increased (all P < 0. 05), and the kynurenine/tryptophan ratio was significantly increased (P < 0. 05); the level of TNF-α in hippocampus and the ratio of kynurenine/ tryptophan in the infliximab group were significantly lower than those in the PSCI group (all P < 0. 05). Conclusion TNF-α inhibitor infliximab can alleviate PSCI in mice by reducing IDO activity.
