1.Recent advances on treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2012;21(5):312-314
Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare malignancy with peculiar clinical and biologic features,aggressive course,and unsatisfactory outcome.the particular microenvironment of this malignancy,and sanctuary sites where tumor cells grow undisturbed, strongly affects treatment efficacy. The execution of prospective trials is also difficult because of the rarity of the tumor and the impaired general condition and poor performance status of patients. Chemotherapy is indispensable for the treatment of PCNSL. High-dose methotrexate is the most effctive drug.PCNSL is sensitive to irradiation,but responses to radiotherapy alone are short-lived. MTX-based chemotherapy followed by whole-brain radiotherapy prolonged survival but is associated with delayed neurotoxicity especially in patients older than 60 years. A new approach is attempted to treat PCNSL with chemotherapy alone with defered radiotherapy in old patients with similar survival rencenfly. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation HDC/ASCT yielded promising results for recurent PCNSL.Clinical investigation with Temozolomide or rituximab have been reported.Further studies with these new drugs are needed.

China Medical Equipment 2016;13(10):68-71
Objective:To study the effect and influence factor analysis of DLBCL patient with early stage who receive radiotherapy after chemotherapy.Methods: 374 cases of patients with DLBCL was selected from January 2010 to December 2015 in our hospital. By random number table method, the patients were divided into CHOP group (n=104), R-CHOP+RT group (n=93), R-CHOP group (n=80), CHOP+RT group (n=97). CHOP chemotherapy was given to all patients, 180 patients received radiotherapy after chemotherapy, and 169 patients received rituximab. Survival rates were compared between the 4 groups.Results: The survival rate of R-CHOP group in 12 months, 24 months, 50 months and 100 months were lower than R-CHOP+RT group, but the difference was not statistically significant in twelfth months(x2=2.02,P>0.05). The differences of 24 months, 50 months and 100 months were statistically significant (x2=4.08,x2=4.03,x2=8.79;P<0.05); The survival rate of CHOP group was 12 months and 24 months was higher than CHOP+RT group which the difference was not statistically significant (x2=1.05,x2=0.22;P>0.05); The survival rate of CHOP group in 50 months and 100th months was lower than CHOP+RT, but the difference was no significant difference (x2=1.62,x2=0.03;P>0.05). Smoking index, whether the use of rituximab, the age associated with the survival of patients, the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion: Early DLBCL patients with R-CHOP and radiotherapy combined treatment can be effective in patients with survival, while the use of rituximab chemotherapy, in addition to smoking on the prognosis of patients with serious adverse effects.

Objective To investigate the effects of inducible hypothermia on expressions of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma coactivator-1 (PGC-1) and small heterodimer partner (SHP) in rat model of hemorrhagic shock.Methods SD rats were randomly (random number) divided into three groups:control (C),normothermia (N) and hypothermia (H).Exsanguination was carried out in rats by continuously drawing out venous blood (25 mL/kg) over 15 minutes to establish hemorrhagic shock model.Then,rectal temperatures of rats were maintained by body surface cooling to 32℃ in H group and by body surface warming to 38℃ in N group,respectively.After a shock period of 60 minutes,rats received the infusion of whole blood of their own and lactated Ringer's solution (1 ∶ 2) treatment for 60 min.Rats were warmed to 38℃ by body surface warming and monitored for 3 h after resuscitation.Hematocrit (Hct),base excess (BE),lactate (Lac),and glucose (Glu) were recorded before modeling and after different lengths of hemorrhagic shock period (HSP).The expressions of PGC-1 mRNA and SHP mRNA and the levels of their protein in liver were tested by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting,respectively.Results The H group had lower lactate levels and higher BElevels than the N group [(6.3±2.1) vs.(10.4±1.5) and (-4.7±2.5) vs.(-9.0±3.2)] (P< 0.05).At 72 hours after modeling,there were four survivors in the N group and seven survivors in the H group (P < 0.05,Log Rank).The expressions of PGC-1 mRNA and SHP mRNA increased in N group.Hypothermia resuscitation down-regulated PGC-1 mRNA expression,meanwhile,increased expression of SHP mRNA.Both Hypothermia and Normothermia resuscitation increased SHP protein levels,but decreased PGC-1 protein levels.Conclusions Inducible hypothermia ameliorated acidosis and energy metabolism imbalance through adaptive regulation in PGC-1 and SHP.

Trypanosoma is a human parasite severely affecting poor tropical areas.However,current frontline drugs for Trypanosoma treatment have severe side-effects with decreased effectiveness.Based on the fact that aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase is a bonafide drug target for several microorganisms,including bacteria and fungi,it is plausible that it may also be effective target of Trypanosoma.The Trypanosoma brucei leucyl-tRNA synthetase(tbLeuRS)was cloned,expressed and purified to develop an in vitro enzymatic assay system.The assay conditions were further optimized for the effective screening of tbLeuRS inhibitors thus establishing an anti-Trypanosoma drug screening system targeting tbLeuRS.The results indicated that this system can be employed for the effective screening of anti-Trypanosoma drugs with satisfactory specificity.In addition,this system can also be used for compound optimization,as well as IC50 testing.Using this system a series of compounds are identified that are effective Trypanosoma inhibitors without toxicity to human cells.Therefore,targeting tbLeuRS may represent a new venue for the development of anti-Trypanosoma drugs.
