Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2011;29(10):619-622
ObjectiveTo retrospectively investigate the incidence,outcome and risk factors of HBV reactivation in HBsAg-positive a patients with gastric carcinoma during cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy.Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 2,538 patients with gastric carcinoma who received adjuvant chemotherapy from January 2005 to December 2010.Among these patients,146 HBsAg-positive patients were analyzed for the HBV reactivation in this study.The HBV serology and biochemical tests of the 146 patients were performed.The data were analyzed by chisquare test.Results Among 146 HBsAg-positive patients with gastric carcinoma,43 patients (29.5%) developed hepatitis,of which 29 (19.9%) were related to HBV reactivation.Univariate analysis showed that age ≥51 years (P=0.029) and abnormal liver uhrasonography findings such as fatty liver or early cirrhotic changes (P=0.031) were associated with HBV reactivation.However,gender,HBeAg positive status and the use of corticosteroids were not related with HBV reactivation.Conclusions HBV reactivation occurs in a significant proportion of HBsAg-positive patients with gastric carcinoma during adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy.Once hepatitis developed,most patients could not finish the chemotherapy as planned despite lamivudine treatment.Therefore,HBsAg-positive gastric carcinoma patients should initiate prophylactic antiviral treatment before chemotherapy.

Objective To examine the white matter microstructure alternations in the patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with diffusion weighted imaging.Methods 19 patients with GAD and 20 matched healthy controls were assessed using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and exponential apparent diffusion coefficient (eADC) in the regions of interests (ROIs) approach.The ROIs were the white matter of bilateral cingulate and bilateral hippocampus.Results Significantly increased ADC values were found in GAD patients (0.78±0.02,0.79±0.03) with respect to normal controls in the right and left anterior cingulate white matter.Significantly decreased eADC values were found in GAD patients (0.46±0.01,0.45±0.01) in the right and left anterior cingulate white matter.Conclusion Diffuse cingulate white matter alterations on DWI in GAD denote the disruption of white matter integrity.

In 2015 , policy reforms on centralized drug purchasing system have been released one by one , and the quality of medicines has been highly valued .Centralized drug purchasing system distinguishes different qualities of drugs mainly through bidding grouping , in order to achieve “uality priority”.However , there are yet some existing problems in group bidding policy at present , such as lack of a unified hierarchy , no scientific indicators and so on , which inevitably weaken the leading role of centralized purchasing policy over the quality of medicines .This paper , focuses on the study of group bidding , and the existing main problems are found through the statistical analysis of rel-evant policies introduced in different provinces .Finally, it explores some optimization strategies for “Group Bidding”which is of paramount importance .

AIM: To investigate the effect of FAK - related non - kinase ( FRNK) on the expression of membrane - type matrix metalloproteinase -1 ( MT1 - MMP) in hepatic stellate cells ( HSC). METHODS:FRNK were trans-fected into HSCs by cationic liposome method. The protein levels of FRNK in HSC were assayed by Western blotting. The levels of MT1 - MMP were determined by RT - PCR for mRNA and by Western blotting for protein, respectively. RESULTS: The up -regulated expression of FRNK protein was observed and it was at 48 h after transfection that the FRNK protein content was the highest ( P < 0.05 ). The expressions of MT1 - MMP mRNA and protein were also up - regulated by the transfection of FRNK, and it was at 48 h after transfection that the MT1 - MMP protein content was significantly increased. CONCLUSION: The mRNA and protein of FRNK were over - expressed in HSC transfected with the gene of FRNK. The inhibitory effect of FRNK on the collagen synthesis in HSC may be through the up - regulation of MT1 - MMP.

Objective To investigate the effects of tyrosol and farnesol on the transcription profiling of C.albicans biofilm by microarray analysis.Methods The standard strain of C.albicans,SC5314 were cultured into four groups (tyrosol treated,farnesol treated,tyrosol and farnesol co-treated,and untreated control).The cell suspensions of SC5314 were prepared and dispensed into polystyrene flasks to form biofilm.Then,the biofilms were collected at 6 h and 24 h respectively after culturing.RNA samples were extracted and synthesized into cDNA through reverse transcription.The genome arrays were scanned with a confocal LuxScanTM scanner and the images were then analyzed by using LuxScanTM 3.0 software (both from CapitalBio).Bioinformatics analysis of the data was carried out by comparatively analyzing S.cerevisiae gene in KEGG gene database.Results The cDNA microarray data showed that tyrosol and farnesol regulated biofilm formation by regulating the genes associated with biofilm formation such as hypha genes and yeast genes.Tyrosol positively regulated gene expression of C.albicans biofilm,while farnesol played negative role.There were striking differences in gene expression patterns between tyrosol or farnesol treated groups and the control.Tyrosol had no antagonistic effect to farnesol.Bioinformatics analysis showed that the differential gene expression was involved in biological process,molecular function process and cell component formation.These genes regulated the C.albicans biofilm formation by encoding proteins involved in the biological metabolism.Conclusion Tyrosol and farnesol influenced the formation of C.albicans biofilm through regulating gene expression which showed differences at different phases of biofilm formation.

Background and purpose:Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays an important role in metabolism of folate and DNA methylation. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphism and chemotherapy side effects in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods:A total of 100 patients with advanced NSCLC conifrmed by pathology were included into this study in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from Jun. 2007 to May. 2009. All patients received the combined chemotherapy of platinum drug and gemcitabine. MTHFR genotypes were determined by allele-specific-PCR technology. Results:In the 100 cases, genotype frequency of MTHFR C677T T/T, T/C and C/C were 20%, 44%and 36%, respectively. Compared with patients of T/T and T/C genotype, patients of C/C genotype were correlated with decreased rate of thrombocytopenia to chemotherapy (P=0.039). No signiifcant differences were observed concerning gastrointestinal toxicity. Conclusion:MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism can be used to predict the adverse reactions to platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Objectives: To study the changes of blood levels of soluble semaphorin 4D (sSema4D) and matrix metalloproteinases-14 (MMP-14);to explore the correlation between sSema4D and ventricular remodeling in patients of dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.
Methods: Our research included in 2 groups:Dilated cardiomyopathy group, n=86 patients and Control group, n=32 healthy subjects. Blood levels of sSema4D, MMP14, Pro-BNP and hs-CRP were examined by ELISA. Left atrial diameter (LAD), right ventricular diameter (RVD), ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were measured by echocardiography. Correlation analysis between blood levels of sSema4D, MMP-14 and the parameters for left ventricular remodeling was conducted.
Results: Blood levels of sSema4D and MMP14 were different between 2 groups, P<0.005. In Dilated cardiomyopathy group, sSema4D level was positively related to MMP-14 and LVEDD (r=0.462, P=0.001 and r=0.643, P<0.001) respectively.
Conclusion: Serum level of sSema4D might be related to ventricular remodeling in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy which could be used as risk factor for predicting the prognosis of heart failure in relevant patients.
