1.Research progress of Alectinib in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer
Practical Oncology Journal 2016;30(1):75-79
Recently,targeted therapy plays an important role in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer.Crizotinib,the first generation of anaplastic lymphoma kinase( ALK) tyrosine kinase inhibitor,has been ap-proved for the treatment of ALK-rearranged NSCLC in the US since 2011.However,the crizotinib therapy is ef-fective only in the early stage of treatment.After a long time treatment,therapy resistance will follow because of the emerging second mutation of the tumor cell.In recent years,as the second generation of anaplastic lymphoma kinase tyrosine kinase inhibitor, alectinib has been approved in Japan for the treatment of ALK -rearranged NSCLC patients.Thus,research progress of Alectinib for NSCLC therapy is summarized in this article.

The DNA copy-number variant (CNV) is a kind of segments of DNA ranging from 1 kb to 3 Mb that is present in a variable number of copies.CNVs widely distribute across the human genome,and dramatically increases genetic diversity.In recent years,researches have found that most CNVs are closely related to complex diseases.If a cancer gene is directly encompassed or overlapped by a CNV,it may lead to activation of oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor genes,and finally results in tumorigenesis.CNVs can affect gene expression,phenotype differences and phenotypic adaptations by changing gene dosages and gene activities,and then sequentially lead to tumor or any other genetic dieases.Investigating CNVs is apparently helpful for studing chromosome recombination,genomic evolution,gene expression and the pathogenesis of multiple complex diseases especially tumor.

Objective To investigate the role of estrogen in spontaneous repair of osteochondral defect,so as to provide guidance for the application of estrogen in tissue engineering.Methods Seventytwo healthy adult female SD rats (4-month-old) were assigned to negative control group (group A,n =24),ovariectomized group (group B,n =24) and ovariectomized + estrogen treatment group (group C,n =24) according to the random number table.Rats in group C were intraperitoneally injected 0.1 mg/kg estradiol benzoate once per week after operation.An osteochondral defect model (diameter:2 mm,height:1.5 mm) was established in femoral trochlea of rats 4 weeks after operation.At 2,10 and 20 weeks after the modeling,8 rats from each group were sacrificed.Femoral condyles were collected to measure bone volume fraction (BVF),number of bone trabeculae (Tb.N),trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp) in the osteochondral defect area by micro-CT scanning.Morphological changes were observed by HE staining,histomorphological changes and cartilage regeneration by safranine O-fast green staining,osteoclast count by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining,distribution of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) by immunohistochemistry and expressions of osteoprotegerin (OPG),receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and MMP-9 by real-time-PCR.Results Compared to group B,increased BVF and Tb.N and decreased Tb.Sp were observed in groups A and C at each time point.More bone matrix formations were observed in groups A and C than in group B at 2 weeks,cysts (also known as cystic cavities) in regenerated subchondral bone and cracks in subchondral bone plate were observed in group B at 10 and 20 weeks,and proliferation of osteoclasts was active within lesions in group B at 10 and 20 weeks.Compared to group B,lowered levels of RANKL and MMP-9 (P < 0.05) and significantly increased level of OPG (P < 0.01) were observed in groups A and C at each time point,and osteoclast count in groups A and C was lowered at 10 and 20 weeks (P<0.05).No regeneration of cartilage layer was observed in all groups.Conclusions Excessive proliferation of osteoclasts results in formation of cystic cavities and cracks.Estrogen improves the speed and quality of bone repair by regulating activities of osteoblasts and osteoclasts,so it can be used to treat osteochondral defect in tissue engineering.
5.Advances of programmed death ligand 1 and its inhibitor in non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(8):628-630
Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1 ),which is highly expressed in NSCLC,can be divided into two categories:membrane PD-L1 and soluble PD-L1 .PD-L1 participates in tumor immune escape through combining with its receptor.PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors have entered the phase Ⅰ studies and showed a good application prospect.It is also found that the sensitivity of PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitors is strongly associated with the expression of PD-L1 in tumor.Therefore,PD-L1 can be used as a biomarker to pre-dict its curative effect.

Objective To discuss the technical keypoints of the second-phase diaplasis treatment after Hartmann operation. Methods Twenty-one cases of the second-phase diaplasis operation of Hartmann operation in this hospital from January 2003 to December 2007 were analysed retrospectively. Results In this group, stapler technique was used in 15 cases, anastomotic ring was used in 3 cases, and one-layer suture was used in 3 cases. The time of these operations was between 118 min and 240 min (mean 164 min). Neither stomal leak nor stomal stenosis occurred, acute ileus occurred in 2 cases, and both recovered after the treatments of gastrointestinal decompression, inhibition of secretion digestive juice and reoperation. Acute retension of urine occurred in 1 case after urine catheter removed. The symptoms disappeared after excises of bladder function. These cases were followed up for 3-36 months (mean 20 months). All the patients recovered to normal function of defecation. Conclusion The technical keypoints of the second-phase diaplasis treatment after Hartmann operation are how to find and liberate the end of the distal colon. It will affect the prognosis and the occurrence of complications after this operation.

[Objective]To investigate the method of anterior transsternal approach for the patients with upper thoracic spine diseases and the clinic results.[Method]Six cases upper thoracic spinal diseases,1 case of C7/T1 grade V dislocation,1 case of T1、2 TB,2 cases of upper thoracic tumor,1 case of T2 fracture and 1 case of T2、3 disc prolapse,were treated with the anterior transsternal approach operation since Oct.2001.The lesions areas were exposed via partial or complete sternotomy.The relative articles were reviewed.[Result]The average follow-up was 12.4 months(range from 6 to 22 months,except the died one).The case of C7/T1 grade V dislocation died of respiratory tract obstruction and one case of malignant schwannoma recurred 6 months post-operation.Good results were obtained in the other 4 cases.No operative complication happened in all cases.[Conclusion]While the transthoracic lateral approach cannot expose the upper thoracic spine clearly,the anterior cervical approach cannot expose the T2、3 clearly also.The anterior transsternal approach can provide a safe access to the lesions located on the upper thoracic spine above T4.

Objective To study the preventive role of lysine, proline and calcium ascorbate on experimental osteoporosis in ovariectomized rats. Methods Ninety 6-9-month-old female rats were divided randomly into 9 groups: lysine hydrochloride low dose (LL) and high dose(LH) groups, proline low dose(PL) and high dose(PH) groups, calcium ascorbate low dose(CL) and high dose(CH) groups, calcium gluconate(CG) group, model(MOD) and SHAM groups. All groups except SHAM group were bilaterally ovariectomiged. At the 4 th, 8 th, and 12 th week, blood samples were collected for biochemical examination including the levels of ACP, ALP, Ca and P. Results Compared with SHAM and MOD groups, body weight of LL group increased most. Additionally, LL and LH promoted the activity of ACP and ALP〔(2.250?1.297)U/L and (300.3?136.9)U/L,P
