Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2014;(11):1131-1136
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of lobaplatin combined with docetaxel in the treatment of the recurrent ovarian carcinoma. Methods: We collected 31 patients who diagnosed as recurrent ovarian carcinoma according to the histopathology or cytology from Tumor Hospital of Hunan Province from January 2011 to January 2013. The patients received cisplatin-based chemotherapy or carboplatin-based chemotherapy before the combined chemotherapy of docetaxel and lobaplatin. For patients with the recurrence, they received a treatment at a dose of 80 mg/m2 for docetaxel on day 1 and a dose of 30 mg/m2 for lobaplatin on day 2, which lasted for 21 days as a treatment cycle. hTe patients received 6-cycletreatment at most. Results: A total of 153 cycles of chemotherapy were given to 31 patients, with a median of 4 (2–6) cycles. Three patients showed complete response, 11 partial response, 2 stable disease, and 15 progressive disease. hTe objective response rate (ORR) was 45.16% (95% CI, 26.61%–63.72%), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 51.63% (95% CI, 32.98%–70.25%). The median progression-free survival was 7 months (95% CI, 4.27–9.73 months). For the toxic and side effects among the 31 patients, the numbers of the grade 3, grade 2, and grade 1 leukopenia were 1, 8, and 13, respectively. Meanwhile, 18 were grade 1–2 neutropenia, 17 grade 1–2 anemia, and 2 grade 1 thrombocytopenia. At the same time, alimentary canal reaction followed by nausea and vomiting was relatively modest and could be controlled. hTe serious damage of hepatic-renal function was not found. Conclusion: The chemotherapy of lobaplatin combined with docetaxel is effective on recurrent and refractory ovarian cancer with low side effects, which has advantages over the second-line chemotherapy protocols.

4.Prevention and treatment of complications after radiofrequency ablation for hepatic tumors in high-risk locations
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2017;33(4):647-650
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been widely used in the treatment of malignant hepatic tumors and has achieved satisfactory effects.Complications after RFA have been taken seriously and the risk of the development of complications is closely associated with tumor location.It is a great challenge for physicians to perform RFA for hepatic tumors in high-risk locations due to related difficulties and risks.This article reviews the complications after RFA for hepatic tumors in high-risk locations and analyzes related control strategies.

Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2008;35(1):29-34
NOK is a newly identified receptor protein-tyrosine kinase (PRTK) molecule that can promote tumorigenesis and metastasis. Previous data showed that NOK could activate the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) pathway in stable BaF3 cells. But how does NOK activate PI3K in cells remains unknown. It was showed that NOK physically interacted with the PI3K downstream effector Akt and enhanced its activation in human embryo kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells. Deletion mapping indicated that protein kinase B (Akt) was able to directly contact with the kinase domain of NOK. Inactivating the Akt kinase domain significantly reduced the intermolecular interaction between NOK and Akt, while constitutively active mutant of Akt apparently had a stronger interaction with NOK. NOK did not have an additive effect on insulin-mediated Akt activation. Overall, the results indicate that NOK might complex with Akt and directly activate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To study the HBsAg specific CTL activities activated by dendritic cells derived from human monocytes on the HepG2/S target cells, and further to probe into the anti HBV effect of HBsAg DC (dendritic cell) vaccine. Methods DCs are proliferated from human peripheral blood monocytes by adding GM CSF and IL 4 and then HBsAg specific CTL are activated by DCs pulsed by HBsAg; The target cell line (HepG2/S) expressing HBsAg was set up by transfecting recombinated plasmid with HBV/S gene (PLXSN/S) into HepG2/S cell line; HBsAg specific CTL and HepG2/S target cells were cocultured in 96 well flat bottomed microtiter plates for 48 hours at 37 ?C in 5% CO 2, and then HBsAg specific CTL activities activated by DCs pulsed by HBsAg were detected by counting the number of killed target cells. Results HBsAg specific CTL activated by dendritic cells derived from human monocytes could produce strong killing effect on the target cells HepG2/S cells. It's specific CTL activities were 3.8%, 69.5% and 85.1% in different concentration (0 ?g/L,50 ?g/L and 100 ?g/L) respectively. While, it had no killing effect on the HepG2 cells, so the HBsAg specific killing effect was specific. Conclusions The result shows that HBsAg specific CTL activated by dendritic cells derived from human monocytes has strong killing effect on the HBV.

Objective To analyze and monitor the distribution of EBSLs-producing E.coli in our hospital and its resistance to commonly used antibacterial drugs.Methods The drug sensitivity test results of E.coli cultured in our hospital from 2008 to 2011 were continuously observed and performed the summary and the descriptive analysis.Results The detection rate of EBSLs-produ-cing E.coli during these 4 years was more than 50%.The generation rate of ESBLs-producing E.coli from the pharyngeal swab samples was the highest.The drug resistance of EBSLs-producing E.coli was mostly higher than that of non-EBSLs-producing E. coli,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).EBSLs-producing E.Coli showed the multi-drug resistant phenomenon. But the resistance rate of EBSLs-producing E.Coli to some antimicrobial drugs had the decreasing tendency year by year.Conclusion The drug-resistance situation of ESBLs-producing E.Coli is serious.The diceovered carbapenems-resistance ESBLs-producing E. Coli should cause the concern.The antibacterial drugs with increased drug-resistance rate should be replaced by the antibacterial drugs with the gradually decreased drug resistance rate.Strengthening the bacterial drug resistance minitoring can timely discover the change trend of clinically isolated bacteria and has the improtant significance to provide reference for clinically empirical medica-tion.
