Chinese Journal of Medical Library and Information Science 2016;25(3):35-39
Objective To provide the reference for early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer by detecting its metastasis-related genes.Methods Breast cancer metastasis-related genes were searched from PubMed-covered papers with their conception matched according to the MetaMap.A gene-gene matrix was generated using data a-nalysis software.An interaction network of breast cancer metastasis-related genes was established using Ucinet 6 and its related indexes were analyzed.Results tp53, thra, erbb2, esr1, cdh1, egfr, nr4al and cd69 were the core genes for breast cancer metastasis.Conclusion Co-word analysis can show breast cancer metastasis-related genes. However, the role of cd69 in breast cancer metastasis remains unclear and is thus necessary to be further confirmed.

Objective To investigate the interaction between dermal papilla cells and hair follicle epithelial cells,to understand the regulation of hair follicle growth cycle, and to find out the pathway of hair follicle reconsitution in vitro and in vivo. Method Human dermal papilla cells and hair follicle epithelial cells were cultured in the same or separated compartments.The cells were counted in different phases and the cell growth pattern was observed. Results The two kinds of cells could stimulate the proliferation each other.Human hair follicle epithelial cells could induce dermal papilla cells to aggregate and form dermal papilla- like structure. Conclusion There is a mutual interaction between the epithelial cells and dermal cells of the hair follicle.The growth and development of hair follicle is regulated by the interaction of these cells.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ibuprofen for closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants.Methods The related literatures till December 31st,2011 in Cochrane Library,PubMed,EMBASE,Ovid,Springer,China Academic Journal Full-text Database,Wanfang Database,VIP Database and China Biological Medical Literature Database were searched.The inclusion criteria were:(1) the subject of the research was preterm infants with birth weight less than 2500 g and/or gestational age less than 37 weeks; (2) randomized or semirandomized controlled trial; (3) the intervention group received oral ibuprofen,while the control group received oral placebos / intravenous indomethacin or ibuprofen; (4) the main outcome was the failure rate of PDA closure; (5) hemodynamic changes with PDA were detected by ultrasonography.Meta-analysis was performed by Review Manager 4.22 software.Results Eleven randomized controlled trials were included,among which,three were high quality reports.Meta-analysis showed lower failure rate of PDA closure in subjects received oral ibuprofen than in those received placebos orally (RR =0.22,95 % CI:0.14-0.35),while the number of infants required operative closure of PDA decreased significantly (RR =0.16,95% CI:0.03-0.86).Further analysis showed the effect of oral ibuprofen was similar to intravenous indomethacin (RR =0.93,95 % CI:0.57-1.53),but better than intravenous ibuprofen (RR=0.42,95%CI:0.26-0.67).However,oral ibuprofen did not reduced the ratio of patients required operation compared with intravenous indomethacin or ibuprofen (RR=0.58,95%CI:0.24-1.41).The incidence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage was higher in oral ibuprofen group than that in placebos(RR=1.99,95%CI:1.13-3.50).The serum level of creatine was lower in oral ibuprofen group than in intravenous indomethacin or ibuprofen group (weighted average=-19.10,95% CI:-25.12-12.31).Compared with intravenous indomethcin group,less necrotizing enterocolitis cases were identified in oral ibuprofen group,but no statistical significance was found (RR=0.57,95% CI:0.30-1.09).No long-term outcome was reported in any selected literature.Conclusions Oral ibuprofen for PDA closure in preterm infants appears to be as effective as intravenous or indomethacin,and more effective than intraveous ibuproten.Oral ibuproten represents better safety.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a lethal malignancy characterized by rapid growth, early metastatic spread, and unfavorable survival outcomes. Optimizing treatment for patients with SCLC has been the focus for investigators. The emergence of precision medi-cine and personalized treatment brought significant breakthroughs into SCLC treatment and changed the therapeutic model. The de-velopment of molecular bioinformatics increased our understanding of complex molecular mechanisms of SCLC, and novel targets for personalized treatment have been developed. Clinical trials testing these targets are ongoing, which show the potential of personal-ized treatment for SCLC.

Telomeres are protective caps located at the ends of human chromosomes. Telomeres shorten with each successive cell di-vision in normal human cells, whereas they are continuously elongated by human telomerase in over 85%of tumors. This simple and attractive difference steers the development of anticancer drugs targeting telomeres and telomerase. Many promising current telo-mere/telomerase-targeting agents, such as GRN163L and GV1001, showed good therapeutic effect both in preclinical studies and phaseⅠ/Ⅱclinical trials. These agents have even entered phaseⅢclinical trials in patients with various tumors. Most therapeutics are more effective when used in combination with standard chemotherapies. Moreover, pharmacological interference with tumor-cell telomere biology to reduce telomere length and/or telomere stability could enhance the effectiveness and safety of radiotherapy. Therapeutics targeting telomere/telomerase may play a key role in radiotherapy in the era of personalized medicine in the future.

Aim To investigate endoplasmic reticulum stress ( ERS)-mediated high-fat diet and palmitic acid-induced insulin resistance ( IR) in skeletal muscle and interventional effects of fenofibrate both in vivo and in vitro tests. Methods Female SD rats were randomly subjected to a standard control diet ( SCD) or high-fat diet ( HFD) for 20 weeks, then the HFD group was di-vided into high-fat-diet group and high-fat-diet group treated with fenofibrate ( HFD +FF, 30 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) for another 8 weeks. The changes of IR and ex-pression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α( PPARα) , glucose regulated protein 78 ( GRP78 ) and transcription factors GADD153 ( CHOP ) were as-sessed respectively. C2C12 myotubes were divided into normal control group ( NC ) , model group ( palmitic acid, PA) , postive control drug group ( tunicamycin, TM) and treatment group ( fenofibric acid, FA+PA) , the expressions of GRP78 and CHOP were assessed re-spectively. Insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt was also analyzed to detect changes of insulin sensitivi-ty in C2 C12 . Results The high-fat diet induced obvi-ous IR and upregulated ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP in skeletal muscle of rats, and these responses were attenuated by treatment with fenofibrate. Incuba-tion of myotubes with palmitic acid or tunicamycin sig-nificantly increased expression of ERS markers GRP78 and CHOP. Meanwhile, insulin-stimulated phosphoryl-ation of Akt was inhibited obviously. Pre-incubation with FA markedly inverted PA-induced ERS and insu-lin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt. Conclusion Fenofibrate ( fenofibric acid) has obvious effects of IR on skeletal muscle tissues and cells, which may be re-lated with reduced expression of GRP78 and CHOP in ERS.
