Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) has impressive clinical efficacy in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer. However,there are still some patients with primary resistance to TKI.And most patients who initially respond to treatment eventually develop resistance to these drugs,which the main molecular mechanisms are T790M and MET amplification.The new targeted therapies and combination drugs to overcome drug resistance is the subject of clinical research.

Objective To explore the short-term influences of conventional internal medical treatment combined with escitalopram on cognitive function and cardiac function in elderly patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) complicated with depression disorder.Methods A total of 97 patients with CHF complicated with depression disorder in Chongqing Ninth People's Hospital,from October 2014 to October 2015,were selected and randomly divided into the antidepressant group and control group.Both groups were undergoing conventional internal medical treatment.Additionally,patients in the antidepressant group were administrated with escitalopram,while patients in the control group were treated with placebo.The degree of depression and anxiety and cognitive function were assessed by using 24-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-24),14-item Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA-14) and Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) scale,and the plasma level of NT-proBNP,left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured before and after 6-week treatment.Results After 6-week treatment,the HAMD-24 and HAMA-14 scores and plasma level of NT-proBNP in antidepressant group were lower than those in the control group,while the attention score and LVEF were greater than those in the control group,there were statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After 6-week treatment,no statistically significant difference was found in other observed indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclnsion For elderly patients with chronic heart failure complicated with depression disorder,it is indicated that escitalopram could not only relieve their anxiety and depression,but also improve their cardiac function and attention.

The oligometastasic stage is an intermediate state with mild biological invasion,in which spread may be limited to specific organs and polymetastases do not occour.The number of metastatic tumors is limited less than five.Local therapy such as radiotherapy,surgery and radiofrequency ablation for the relapsed sites could thus improve patients survival.The expression of miR-200 family characterizes oligometastasis(es).Correct understanding and familiarization with treatment of oligometastasis may change the traditional therapeutic strategy of advanced tumors,and some advanced cancer patients may achieve curable results.

Background:
MicroRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in neuropathic pain (NP) by targeting mRNAs. This study aims to analyze the regulatory function and mechanism of miR-382-5p/dual specificity phosphatase-1 (DUSP1) axis in NP.
Methods:
We utilized rats with chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve as the NP model. The levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 were reduced by intrathecal injection of lentiviral interference vectors targeting miR-382-5p and DUSP1. The mRNA levels of miR-382-5p and DUSP1 in the dorsal root ganglions (DRGs) were measured by RT-qPCR assay. The pain behavior was evaluated by mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity. The expression levels of interleukin-6 (IL)-6, IL-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α in the DRGs were analyzed by ELISA assay. The targeting relationship between miR-382-5p and DUSP1 was verified by DLR assay and RIP assay.
Results:
Compared to the Sham group, the CCI rats exhibited higher levels of miR-382-5p and lower levels of DUSP1. Overexpression of miR-382-5p significantly decreased DUSP1 levels. Reducing miR-382-5p levels can lower the mechanical nociceptive sensitivity and thermal nociceptive sensitivity of CCI rats and inhibit the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors. Reduced miR-382-5p levels decreased NP in CCI rats. DUSP1 is the target of miR-382-5p, and down-regulation of DUSP1 reverses the inhibitory effect of reduced miR-382-5p levels on NP.
Conclusions
Down-regulation of miR-382-5p inhibits the over-activation of pro-inflammatory factors by targeting and regulating the expression of DUPS1, thereby alleviating NP.

Objective:To optimize the different salt preparation processes of salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus and compare the differences among different salt products.Methods:Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) characteristic chromatogram of Psoraleae Fructus was established. By using the comprehensive scoring method, the total content of psoralen and isopsoralen and the peak area of the characteristic chromatogram were used as the evaluation index to optimize the four different processing technologies, including "stir-frying with salt-water", "steaming with salt-water", "spraying with salt-water" and "microwaving with salt-water". Meanwhile, entropy weight TOPSIS method, clustering analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA) and other chemical pattern recognition methods were used to compare the quality difference of different salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus.Results:The optimized "stir-frying with salt-water" process of salt-processed Psoralea Fructus was 170 ℃ for 13 min, "steaming with salt-water" process for 1 h, "spraying with salt-water" process for 110 ℃ for 13 min and "microwaving with salt-water" process for 105 s microwave heating. TOPSIS comprehensive evaluation results of entropy weight showed that the quality of different salt products of Psoraleae Fructus ranked as product of stir-frying with salt-water > product of stir-frying with green salt-water > product of spraying with salt-water > product of microwaving with salt-water > product of steaming with salt-water; HCA results showed that different salt products of Psoraleae Fructus could be polymerized into two categories, between which product of stir-frying with salt-water and product of stir-frying with green salt-water were polymerized into one category; product of spraying with salt-water, product of microwaving with salt-water and product of steaming with salt-water were another category; the results of PCA showed that different salt products of Psoraleae Fructus could be clustered into 4 categories, among which product of stir-frying with salt-water, product of stir-frying with green salt-water and product of spraying with salt-water were clustered into the same category respectively, and product of microwaving with salt-water and product of steaming with salt-water were clustered into the same category.Conclusion:The chemical composition of Psoraleae Fructus processed by different salting methods is different. The results of this study can provide reference for processing optimization of salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus and identification of different salt products.
