Objective To investigate the expression of thanatos-associated protein-8 (THAP-8) in ovarian cancer tissue,and explore its clinical significance.Methods A total of 86 patients with ovarian cancer were enrolled.The gene and protein expression of THAP-8 of the ovarian cancer tissue and adjacent tissue were detected by fluorescent quantitation polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry.Results The gene expressions of THAP-8 of ovarian cancer tissue and adjacent tissue were 0.304 ± 0.104 and 0.615 ± 0.152.The protein expressions of THAP-8 in ovarian cancer tissue and adjacent tissue were 30.16 ± 12.34 and 67.34 ± 22.37.The gene and protein expressions of THAP-8 in ovarian cancer tissue were significantly lower than those in adjacent tissue (P＜ 0.01).The gene and protein expressions of THAP-8 in the low and middle degree of tumor differentiation of ovarian cancer tissue were significantly lower than those of the high degree of tumor differentiation of ovarian cancer tissue (0.216 ±0.085 vs.0.457 ±0.124 and 24.22 ± 9.21 vs.46.24 ± 17.52,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The gene and protein expressions of THAP-8 in lymph node metastasis of ovarian cancer tissue were significantly lower than those of no lymph node metastasis of ovarian cancer tissue (0.247 ± 0.087 vs.0.476 ± 0.133 and 23.44 ± 8.57 vs.49.60 ± 18.35,P ＜ 0.01 or ＜0.05).The gene and protein expressions of THAP-8 in clinical TNM pathologic Ⅲ,Ⅳ stage of ovarian cancer tissue were significantly lower than those of Ⅰ,Ⅱ stage of ovarian cancer tissue (0.232 ± 0.114 vs.0.424 ±0.125 and 25.64 ±8.12 vs.44.78 ± 16.84,P ＜0.05).Conclusions The downregulation-expression of THAP-8 has a closed relationship with the development of ovarian cancer.The THAP-8 might be used as a potential marker to assess the degree of rumor grade and prognosis in ovarian cancer.

Purpose:The phase I study was conducted to evaluate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and toxicity of weekly administered docetaxel combined with cisplatin in patients with non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ). The other objective was to measure the pharmacokinetic/dynamics (PK/PD).Methods:In the dose escalation study, 15 patients with unresectable and metastatic untreated NSCLC with performance status(0-1) were enrolled. Escalating doses of D 25 mg/m 2 (30 mg/m 2, 35 mg/m 2, 40 mg/m 2) on day 1, 8, 15 were given as a 30 min iv infusions and C 75 mg/m 2 30 min iv infusion after D on day 1 and the cycle was repeated every 4 weeks. Blood samples were drawn on day 1 and 15 in the first cycle to measure the PK. Dose limiting toxicity(DLT) was based on Cycle 1 and defined as any Grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity not declining to Grade 2 or less within 4 days or any Grade 4 toxicity. Results:Chemotherapy was repeated for at least two cyc1es every 28 days. All patients were assessable for toxicities. Although grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred, there were no significant modifications of chemotherapy schedule. One patient developed an infection (DLT). Non-hematological toxicities, including nausea/vomiting, a1opecia, fluid intension and asthenia were tolerable. Based on these data, the MTD has not yet reached up to dose level of docetaxel of 40mg/m 2 weekly given in combination with cisplatin 75mg/m 2 every 4 weeks at the fixed dose. The exposure to docetaxel after Ⅳ administration on day 1 in combination with cisplatin and on day 15 without cisplatin , increased proportional to the dose for the range 25 to 40 mg/m 2, as measured by Cmax and AUC. No statistically significant difference between clearance values was shown for the 4 dose levels. The pharmacokinetics of docetaxel was not influenced by the coadministration of cisplatin on day 1 as compared to day 15, as the CmaxN, AUCN and CL were not statistically significantly different on both days. Fourteen patients were eva1uab1e for response, five cases achieved partial response, and thus the overall response was 35.7%. 1, 2, and 3 year survivals were 73%, 27%, and 20%, respectively. Weekly administration of docetaxel at 35mg/m 2 (days 1, 8, l5) combined with cisplatin 75mg/m 2 (day 1) is recommended for phase Ⅱ studies. Conclusions:Using the weekly schedule, toxicity was mainly manifested by non-hematologic profile and was well tolerated. A phase Ⅱ study is currently ongoing with docetaxel 35mg/m 2 as the suggested dosage.

Purpose:To study the efficacy and safety of docetaxel administrated weekly plus cisplatin in the treatment for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:Thirty-six patients with stage ⅢB,stage Ⅳ not treated previously by chemotherapy,or recurrenct after operation NSCLC received intravenous infusions of docetaxel at 35mg/m 2 three consecutive weeks,followed by a week of rest;and intravenous infusions of cisplatin at 75 mg/m 2 every four weeks. Results:There were 12 partial responses for an objective response rate of 33 %. The median survival was 11.5 months (range 4-27 months),and the 1-year survival was 50%. Hematologic toxicities,which were mild,included grade Ⅲ/Ⅳ neutropenia in 22%. The common nonhematologic toxicities included grade 2-3 nausea and vomiting (39%) and grade 2-3 asthenia (36%). Conclusions:Consecutive weekly administrations of docetaxel for 3 weeks plus cisplatin produce minimal myelosuppression and shows activity in the treatment of patients without previous chemtherapy with advanced NSCLC.

Objective To discuss the technique and clinical efficacy of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of vertebral malignant lesion.Methods PVP was performed in 13 patients (15 vertibrae) including metastasis in 11 and primary tumor in 2 cases,thoracic vertebrae involved in 6 cases and lumbar vertebrae involved in 7 cases.13 cases aged between 45 and 73,median age 59 years.Under C-arm fluoroscopic or CT monitoring,needle the puncture of the vertebral body was performed through the pedicle of vertebral arch using 11~13G,15 cm long needle.Omnipaque was injected into the vertebral body to understand the information of large drain veins,then 3~7 ml of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement mixture(with the ratio of powder/contrast agent as 3GA9552GA9551 )was injected.The patients were followed up for 6~12 months.Results The successful rate of puncture was 100%.76.9%(10/13) of patients get better in symptoms in 3 days after operation,pain relieved in 6 months was 69.2%(9/13),in one year was 54.5%(6/11).In followed up period,CT showed the PMMA distribution was good,the vertebral body had no compression,the patients had no serious complications.Conclusion PVP is an effective and safe method for malignant lesion of vertebral body in anti-pain,preventing the compression vertebral body and secondary paraplegia.

Objective To study CGRP,Ang Ⅱ and ET in healthy offsprings from different families history of essential hypertension. Methods Sixty healthy offsprings with or without a family history of essential hypertension were recruited and divided into two groups: (1) 30 from family with either one parent of essential hypertension; (2) 30 from family with both parents of essential hypertension; (3) control group,30 subjects from family with parents negative history.The levels of plasma CGRP,Ang Ⅱ and ET were determined by radioimmunoassay. Results The plasma levels of CGRP,Ang Ⅱ in one parent group were(28.3?10.4 pg/mL),(52.5?11.1 pg/mL) and (37.7?14.7 pg/mL),(58.4?9.1 pg/mL) in both parents group,which were increased significantly as compared with those in the control group (CGRP 19.9?10.5 pg/mL,Ang Ⅱ 45.3?9.9 pg/mL,P

Mechanicalventilation in newborns can be divided into invasive mechanical ventilation and non-invasive me-chanical ventilation. In order to reduce invasive ventilation-induced lung injury, more and more non-invasive ventilation patterns have been used clinically. Early application of nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) has become the main mode of non-invasive ventilation in many neonatal intensive care units (NICU). At the same time, the combination with selective pulmonary surfactant can reduce the incidence of chronic lung disease. This article reviews the use and prospect of non-invasive respiratory support modes which include continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and bi-level CPAP mode (BiPAP) such as SiPAP and NIPPV. Some modes which are in the research stage were also reviewed including synchronized nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation, neurally adjusted ventilatory assist and non-invasive high-frequency oscillatory ventilation.

Objective To investigate the changes of cerebral regional glucose metabolism and regional homogeneity (ReHo) and their relation in patients with major depression disorder (MDD) using 18F-FDG PET/CT and functional MRI (fMRI).Methods A total of 18 MDD patients (6 males,12 females,age:(33.00±7.59) years) and 17 healthy controls (6 males,11 females,age:(34.59±8.96) years) underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and fMRI.The changes of glucose metabolism on PET and ReHo on fMRI were analyzed individually by SPM and ReHo fMRI 1.0 software.Pearson correlation analysis was used.Results Compared with the glucose metabolism of control subjects,those of MDD patients decreased in the bilateral superior,middle and inferior frontal gyri,bilateral superior and middle temporal gyri,bilateral anterior cingulate cortices,bilateral putamina and caudate nuclei and the left pallidum.Meanwhile the glucose metabolism increased in the bilateral hippocampi and the left thalamus.The ReHo in MDD patients decreased in bilateral superior and middle frontal gyri,left pallidum,bilateral putamina,left anterior cingulate cortex,whereas increased ReHo was found in right hippocampus and right thalamus.The SUV of bilateral superior,middle and inferior frontal gyri,bilateral superior and middle temporal gyri,bilateral putamina,left caudate,left pallidum,left anterior cingulate cortex,bilateral hippocampi and bilateral thalami were correlated with ReHo (r =0.51-0.83,all P＜0.05).However,no correlation was found between the SUV and ReHo in right caudate and anterior cingulate cortex (r=0.41,0.37; both P＞0.05).Conclusion There may be relative characteristic models of abnormal cerebral metabolism and cerebral dysfunction impairment in MDD patients,and the changes of cerebral regional glucose metabolism may be correlated with the changes of ReHo.
