Objective To investigate the value of detecting peripheral blood epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in predicting the therapeutic efficacy of advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Methods A total of 150 patients with stage ⅢA-Ⅳ non-small cell lung cancer diagnosed in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from October 2013 to February 2015 were collected. The peripheral blood EGFR gene was detected by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). The relationship between the mutation rate and the clinicopathological features of patients was observed, and 80 patients were selected into the follow-up treatment according to the inclusion criteria. Forty patients (all 19 or 21 exon mutations) in group A with EGFR gene mutation were treated with gefitinib orally. Forty patients with wild type EGFR gene in group B underwent 4 cycles of NP regimen. Efficacy and progression-free survival were evaluated in both groups. Results The mutation rate of EGFR gene was 33.3 % (50 cases), of which 29 were exon 19, 18 were exon 21 and 3 were exon 18 and 20. The mutation rate of EGFR gene was higher in female, adenocarcinoma and non-smoker (all P<0.05). Among the 80 patients who received follow-up treatment, the effective rate [67.5%(27/40) vs. 32.5 % (13/40)] and disease control rate [85.0 % (34/40) vs. 65.0 % (26/40)] in group A were significantly higher than those in group B, and the median PFS was prolonged (9.00 months vs. 4.25 months),the differences were statistically significant (χ2=9.800, P=0.002;χ2=4.267, P=0.039;χ2= 15.792, P<0.001). Conclusion The detection of peripheral blood EGFR mutation can be used to predict the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on Toll-like receptor 4 ( TLR4)/myeloid differentiation factor 88 ( MyD88)/nuclear factor Kappa B ( NF-κB) signaling pathway in the pe-ripheral blood mononuclear cells of elderly patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing lower extremity surger-y. Methods Forty elderly patients of both sexes with type 2 diabetes mellitus, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18. 5-27. 9 kg/m2 , of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, with New York Heart Association Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing lower extremity surgery with tourniquets under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) by using a random number table method: control group ( group C) and dexmedetomidine group ( group D) . Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was applied. Dexmedetomidine was infused over 15 min in a dose of 1μg/kg after induction of anesthesia, fol-lowed by a continuous infusion of 0. 5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 until the end of surgery in group D, while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group C. Before using the the tourniquet and at 15 min, 1 h and 24 h after loosing the tourniquet, arterial blood samples were collected for determi-nation of the expression of TLR4, NF-κB and MyD88 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and concentra-tions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha ( TNF-α) , interleukin-1β ( IL-1β) , cardiac troponin I ( cTnI ) and creatine kinase-MB ( CK-MB) in plasma. Results Compared with group C, the expression of TLR4, NF-κB and MyD88 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was significantly down-regulated, and the concentra-tions of TNF-α, IL-1β, cTnI and CK-MB in plasma were decreased at each time point after loosing the tourniquet in group D ( P<0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces myo-cardial damage may be related to inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway and reducing systemic inflammatory responses in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus undergoing lower extremity surgery.
