1.Possible mechanism and significance of rare p53 mutation in Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2017;44(11):522-526
In 2014, The Cancer Genome Atlas firstly classified gastric cancer into four types according to genotype. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) positive gastric cancer or EBV-associated gastric cancer (EBVaGC) is attracting attention because it is a possibly suitable group for immunotherapy. Among the mutations observed in tumors, such as gastric cancer, p53 mutations are the most frequent. In particular, it occurs more frequently in EBVaGC than in EBV-negative gastric cancer (EBVnGC). Meanwhile, EBV infection is considered as an early event of tumorigenesis. The interactions between wild-type p53 proteins and BZLF1 (Z) proteins are essential in maintaining the latent state of EBV infection and promoting early replication. In the latter stages of replication, wild-type p53 proteins are degraded through the ubiquitination of some viral molecules. These findings may indicate the importance of wild-type p53 genes in EBVaGC formation. Inflammatory responses induced by EBV infection, tumor with a large number of lymphocyte infiltration, genome high mutation, and PD-L1 amplification make it possible to become the appropriate group of immunotherapy, which also illustrate that the important role of immune microenvironment during tumor progression. In EBVnGC, extremely high levels of p53 mutation were observed because of several associated factors, and the p53 protein encoded by the mutant p53 gene lost its antitumor function after tumorigenesis. In this review, the possible mechanisms of rare p53 mutation in EBVaGC are summarized.

Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2017;23(4):420-423
Objective To analyze the risk factors and distribution of pathogenic bacteria of urinary tract infection (UTI) patients with spi-nal cord injury (SCI). Methods A total of 452 patients with SCI collected from December, 2015 to June, 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Results 104 cases (23.1%) were diagnosed as UTI. 119 strains were identified, including 96 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (80.7%) and 22 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (19.3%). Female, invasive operation, depressed lower limb muscle strength, neurogenic bladder and pre-vention of antibacterial agents use were considered to be the main risk infection factors. The invasive operation included indwelling urethral catheterization, intermittent catheterization and other transurethral operation. The incidence rate of UTI in patients with SCI who also accept-ed indwelling catheter was 100.0%. Conclusion Gram-negative bacteria is the dominated pathogenic bacteria in SCI patients with UTI. It should be noticed the characteristics of pathogen, which both may have the high drug resistance rate and high separation rate, to select exact-ly antimicrobial agents to control the spread and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, patients with underlying diseases, inva-sive operation and lower strength should be monitored targeted.

To study the antiarrhythmic effect of the newly developed alpha/beta-blocker TJ0711, a variety of animal models of arrhythmia were induced by CaCl2, ouabain and ischemia/reperfusion. Glass microelectrode technique was used to observe action potentials of right ventricular papillary muscle of guinea pig. The onset time of arrhythmia induced by CaCl2 was significantly prolonged by TJ0711 at 0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg x kg(-1) doses. TJ0711 (1.5 and 3 mg x kg(-1)) can significantly shorten the ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) duration, the incidence of VF and mortality were significantly reduced. On ischemia-reperfusion-induced arrhythmic model, TJ0711 (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg x kg(-1)) can significantly reduce the ventricular premature contraction (PVC), VT, VF incidence, mortality, arrhythmia score with a dose-dependent manner. At the same time, rats serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) activities decreased significantly by TJ0711 (1 and 2 mg x kg(-1)). Ouabain could cause arrhythmia in guinea pigs, when TJ0711 (0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg x kg(-1)) was given, the doses of ouabain inducing a variety of arrhythmia PVC, VT, VF, cardiac arrest (CA) were significantly increased with a dose-dependent manner. In the TJ0711 0.1-30 micromol x L(-1) concentration range, guinea pig right ventricular papillary muscle action potential RP (rest potential), APA (action potential amplitude) and V(max) (maximum velocity of depolarization) were not significantly affected. APD20, APD50 and APD90 had a shortening trend but no statistical difference with the increase of TJ0711 concentration. TJ0711 has antiarrhythmic effect on the sympathetic nerve excitement and myocardial cell high calcium animal arrhythmia model. Myocardial action potential zero phase conduction velocity and resting membrane potential were not inhibited by TJ0711. APD20, APD50 and APD90 were shortened by TJ0711 at high concentration. Its antiarrhythmic action mechanism may be besides the action of blocking beta1 receptor, may also have a strong selective blocking action on alpha1 receptor and reducing intracellular calcium concentration.
