1.Drug therapy of renal cell carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(6):464-466
Immunochemotherapy is still the primary drug therapy of renal cell carcinoma(RCC), and chemotherapy is effective too. The combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin is the standard regimen now. How-ever, emerge of targeted therapeutic agents has altered the treatment of RCC. Multitargeted tyrosine kinase in-hibitor, such as sunitinib and sorafenib, and mammalian target of rapamycin (roTOR) inhibitors( temsiroll-mus), and anti-tumor monoclonal antibody, such as bevacizumab, have already become the first line election.

Purpose: To observe the efficacy and the side effects of oxaliplatin( OXA) in combination with vinorelbine (VRB) in the treatment of drug resistant non-small-cell lung cancer( NSCLC) . Methodii: Thirty-five patients with drug resistant lung cancer were treated by OXA + VRB. OXA 100 mg/m2, VRB 25 mg/m , on d 1, which were given by bronchial arteries injection, and VRB 25mg/m2 was given by venous injection on d 8. One cycle was given every 3 weeks and total six cycles was given. Results: There was 1 patient who showed completed remission( CR), 14 patients showed partial remission( PR), 13 patients showed stable disease( SD) and 7 patients showed progress disease( PD) after the sixth cycle. The response rate was 42. 9%. The major toxicities were peripheral sensory neuropathy and leukopenia. Conclusions: The regimen of OXA plus VRB is effective on drug resistant and advanced NSCLC and the side effects are tolerable. There is higher response rate and lower neurotoxicity when the medicines are given by arterial injection than by venous injection.

Objective To observe the effects of recombinant human interleukin 11(rhIL-11) on proliferation, migration and invasion of A549 cells, and the mechanism thereof. Methods Final concentrations of 0, 10, 20, 50 and 100μg/L rhIL-11 were added into pulmonary adenocarcinoma A549 cells. The cell proliferation was detected by MTT. The wound-healing, transwell migration assay were used to validate the capability of the migration and invasion of A549 cells. Matrix metallopro-teinases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 protein expressions were revealed by Western blot assay. Results The proliferation of A549 cells was not significantly changed by rhIL-11. The cell capability to migrate and invade was significantly increased 24 h af-ter treatment with rhIL-11 (P<0.05). The expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly un-regulated, and which were increased with the increased concentrations of rhIL-11 (P<0.05). Conclusion rhIL-11 can promote the migra-tion and invasion of A549 cells, and the up-regulation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression might be one of the mechanisms.

Objective To explore the correlation of atheroselerosis progression and the expression of platelet derived endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in rabbits. Methods A total of 24 male New Zealand white rabbits were used in this study. Six of the animals were fed with normal food (control group). Eighteen rabbits were fed with cholesterol-rich food (1 g/d) for 12 weeks to establish the atherosclerosis model. Among 18 models, 6 rabbits were executed immediately and their aorta and platelet samples were collected for further analysis (model group), 6 rabbits were orally administered with pravastatin (10 rag/d) for additional 12 weeks (treated group), and the remaining 6 rabbits were left untreated until the end of the study (untreated group). The control, treated and untreated animals were then killed, and the aorta and platelet samples were collected for eNOS expression analysis (RT-PCR). Results The aorta samples in model and untreated group exhibited rough intima and a lot of longitudinal fatty streaks, which indicated that atherosclerosis models were established successfully. While in treated group, the degree of atherosclerosis was decreased. The average percent of thickness of fatty streaks or atheroselerotic plaques relative to the whole thickness of vessel walls was 0. 04±0. 02, 0. 82±0. 16, 0. 33±0. 18,0. 77±0. 14 in control, model, treated and untreated group, respectively. The thickness of fatty streaks or atherosclerotic plaques was significantly increased in the model and untreated groups and decreased in treated group compared with the control group (both P<0. 05). The expressions of platelet derived eNOS/mRNA were 1. 02± 0. 28, 0. 41± 0. 27, 1.00 ± 0. 77, 0. 40±0. 29 in control, model, treated and untreated group, respectively. The expression of eNOS/mRNA was markedly decreased in model group and untreated group compared with the control group, but was increased in treated group compared with untreated and model groups (F=3. 544, P = 0. 024). Conclusions There is a negative correlation between eNOS expression and atherosclerosis development, which suggests that the reversal effect of pravastatin on atheroselerosis progression and plaque formation may relate to the expression of platelet derived eNOS.

Objective:
To investigate the relationship between the expression of mucin 1 and collagen Ⅳ and the clinical characteristics in invasive breast cancer by using the quantum dots immunofluorescence imaging technique.
Methods:
The expressions of mucin 1 and collagen Ⅳ were detected simultaneously by quantum dots immunofluorescence imaging technique in 94 cases of breast cancer from July 2007 to July 2010 in Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University. The correlation of mucin 1 and collagen Ⅳ quantitative parameters with clinicopathological features and the prognosis were also analyzed.
Results:
The positive rates of mucin 1 in human breast cancer tissues marked by quantum dots immunofluorescence imaging technique and immunohistochemistry were 73.4 % (69/94) and 69.1 % (65/94), the positive rates of collagen Ⅳ were 53.2 % (50/94) and 47.9 % (45/94), and the differences were not statistically significant (both
