1.COX-2 and its inhibitors in lung cancer drug resistance
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):203-205
COX-2 is the inducible form of cyclooxygenase,which is overexpressed in non-small cell lung cancer,especially in the adenocarcinoma,and is involved in the production of lung cancer drug resistance, reducing the sensitivities of tumor cells to chemotherapy drugs. COX-2 inhibitors have the effects of antitumor and prevention of tumor formation. Therefore,in order to reverse the drug resistance of tumor cells,improve the sur-vival rate and the prognosis of patients with tumor,the application of COX-2 inhibitors as adjuvant chemotherapy and combined with chemotherapy drugs has become a new direction in the treatment of lung cancer.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of hydrogen-rich saline given during reperfusion on global cerebral ischeraia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Seventy-two adult male SD rats,aged 2.0-2.5 months,weighing 260-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 24 each):sham operation group (group S),group I/R and hydrogen-rich saline group (group H).In groups I/R and H cerebral I/R was induced by occlusion of 4 vessels( cauterization of bilateral carotid arteries and 15 min occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries).In group H intraperitoneal 0.6 mmol/L hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was injected at 6 h of reperfusion,while equal volume of normal saline was injected instead of hydrogen-rich saline.Eighteen rats of each group were sacririced at 24 h of reperfusion,and then the hippocampi were removed for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6)contents,and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity and activated caspase-3 expression.Another six rats of each group were sacrificed at 72 h of reperfusion,and then brain tissues were removed for microscopic examination and counting the number of uninjured pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 region.ResultsCompared with S group,the contents of MDA,TNF-α,IL-6 and NF-κB activity were significantly increased,activated caspase-3 expression was significantly up-regulated,uninjured pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 region were significantly decreased in I/R group( P < 0.05).Hydrogen-rich saline given during reperfusion attenuated the above-mentioned I/R-induced changes( P < 0.05 ).The histologic damage of the hippocampal CA1 region was significantly slighter in group H than group I/R.ConclusionHydrogen-rich saline given during reperfusion can reduce global cerebral I/R injury in rats through inhibition of lipid peroxidation,inflammatory response and apoptosis.

Objective To analyse the clinical characteristics,therapeutic modalities and prognosis of pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma(LCNEC). Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with pulmonary LCNEC confirmed by surgery were retrospectively reviewed. Results No case was correctely diagnosed before surgery.The immunohistochemical amalysis of the specimens revealed the characters of endocrine carcinoma.Twelve cases received adjuvant chemotherapy of platinum agents,but recurrence or metastasis was found in 8 of them several months after surgery.The median survival time was 19 months.The 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rate were 85.7%(12/14),21.4%(3/14) and not more than 14.3%(2/14),respectively.The statistical analysis showed that the stage,lymph node metastasis and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may have impacts on the prognosis of pulmonary LCNEC. Conclusion Pulmonary LCNEC is a carcinoma with poor prognosis,high tendency of invasion and metastasis.The stage of disease,lymph node metastasis,and adjuvant chemotherapy may be related to the prognosis.

Orobanche caerulescens is an important medicinal resource in Orobanchaceae. The present study aims to establish methods for determination of acteoside, crenatoside, and total phenylethanoid glycosides in O. caerulescens, and determine the content in 15 samples to evaluate the resource utilization of this medicinal plant. The content of acteoside and crenatoside were quantitatively determined by HPLC, while total phenylpropanoid glycosides was estimated by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. According to the results, the content of acteoside was the highest in O. caerulescens, followed by crenatoside. The contents of acteoside, crenatoside, and total phenylethanoid glycosides were between 1.15% - 15.60%, 0.83% - 4.47%, and 6.78% - 27.43%, respectively, which had significant differences. The acquisition time has great influence on the content of main components of O. caerulescens. The content of phenylethanoid glycosides is higher in the samples which were collected at the flowering stage. The two determination methods were proved to be simple, accurate and reliable, and can be used to evaluate the quality and resource utilization of O. caerulescens.
