DNA damage repair gene mutations are prevalent in advanced prostate cancer. Among these, mutations in homologous recombination repair genes could impair the ability of cell to restore the DNA double-strand break, which can be exploited by Poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors through synthetic lethality and result in cell death. The phase Ⅲ study " PROfound" showed that the PAPR inhibitor Olaparib could significantly improve the survival of patients with homologous recombination repair gene mutations compared with novel hormone agents, starting the era of targeted, precise and individualized treatment based on genetic profile detection for prostate cancer treatment.

Dioscin is the main raw material for the synthesis of steroid hormone drugs. Currently, the direct acid hydrolysis is the mainly industrial production method for dioscin. However, the use of strong acid can not only destroy the structure of dioscin resulting in very low yield, but also produce a large amount of waste water and residues, which seriously pollute the environment. So the clean production of dioscin is the urgent demand of water conservation and environmental protection. In the paper, the recent research pro-gresses in the clean production technology and process of dioscin were summarized, and the advantages and problems were discussed in order to provide reference for the improvement and application of the new technology and process.

Objective To investigate the role of autophagy in radiation-induced death response of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Methods MTT method was used to detect cell viability of CNE-2 cells in different time after irradiation.Clonogenic survival assay was used to evaluate the effect of autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine phosphate) and autophagy inductor (rapamycin) on radiosensitivity of nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry.The expressions of LC3 and P62 were measured with Western blot.Cell ultrastructural analysis was performed under an electron microscope.Results Irradiation with 10 Gy induced a massive accumulation of autophagosomes accompanied with up-regulation of LC3-Ⅱ expression in CNE-2 cells.Compared with radiation alone,chloroquine phosphate (CDP) enhanced radiosensitivity significantly by decreasing cell viability (F =25.88,P < 0.05),autophagic ratio (F =105.15,P < 0.05),and LC3-Ⅱ protein level(F =231.68,P <0.05),while up-regulating the expression of P62 (F =117.52,P < 0.05).Inhibition of autophagy increased radiation-induced apoptosis (F =143.72,P < 0.05).Rapamycin (RAPA) also significantly decreased cell viability,but increased autophagic ratio and LC3-Ⅱ protein level while down-regulated the expression of P62.Induction of autophagy increased radiation-induced apoptosis(F =167.32,P < 0.05).Conclusions Blockage of autophagy with CDP could enhance radiosensitivity in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells,suggesting that inhibition of autophagy could be used as an adjuvant treatment to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To compare the myocardial protective effects of isoflurane versus sevoflurane in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ ) of both sexes, aged 40-55 yr, weighing 55-94 kg, scheduled for elective OPCABG, were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): isoflurane group ( group Ⅰ) and sevoflurane group ( group S). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, sufentanil and vecuronium. Patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane or sevoflurane and infusion of sufentanil and vecuronium. In group Ⅰ, the initial end-tidal concentration of isoflurane was 1.2%. In group S, the initial end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was 1.7 %. BIS value was maintained at 40-50 by adjusting the end-tidal concentration of isoflurane or sevoflurane. The central venous blood samples were collected immediately before skin incision, at the end of surgery, 2 and 24 h after surgery for determination of plasma creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) activity and cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI) concentration. The adverse cardiovascular events were recorded. Results The incidences of ventricular premature beat, tachycardia, bradycardia, ventricular fibrillation and S-T segment elevation ( >0.1 mV) during surgery and the plasma CK-MB activity and cTnI concentration after surgery were significantly higher in group S than in group Ⅰ ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Isoflurane has better myocardial protective effect than sevoflurane in patients undergoing OPCABG.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of isotretinoin erythromycin gel, a gel containing isotretinoin (0.05%) and erythromycin (2%), versus adapalene gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris. Methods A multicenter, randomized, open, parallel-controlled clinical study was conducted. A total of 192 patients with mild to moderate (Grade Ⅰ -Ⅲ ) acne vulgaris were enrolled in this study according to the grading criteria for acne severity in guidelines for the treatment of acne in China. Efficacy analysis was carried out in 169 patients and safety analysis in 190 patients. The patients were classified into trial group (n = 86) and control group (n = 83 ) to be treated with isotretinoin erythromycin gel or adapalene gel once a night for 6 weeks. Patients were evaluated at the baseline, on week 2, 4 and 6 during the treatment for the count of comedones (both open and closed), inflammatory papules and pustules, severity of acne and local or general adverse effects. Results After the start of treatment, the response rate gradually increased and severity of acne decreased in both groups. On week 6, the total response rate was 51.16% in the trial group and 40.96% in the control group (P > 0.05), while a greater reduction in the count of pustules and inflammatory lesions was observed on week 4 and 6 in the trial group with a lower severity grade of acne compared with the control group (P < 0.05 or 0.01 ). Adverse reactions were similar in both groups and manifested as tolerable local irritation. Conclusions The efficacy of isotretinoin erythromycin gel is similar to that of adapalene gel in the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris, however, isotretinoin erythromycin gel seems superior to adapalene gel in reducing inflammatory lesions and rapidly improving severity of acne vulgaris.
