Objective: The antitumor mechanism of Pleurotes sapidus on 4 kinds of tumor cell lines was studied. The active components of its ethanol extracts were studied. Methods:Using techniques of cell culture in vitro, phytochemical methods, FACS and RT-PCR, expressions of p53 and fas gene of four tumor cell lines treated with Pleurotas sapidu were analysed. Results:The apoptosis rates were remarkably increased after treated by ethanol extracts (0.1g/ml) and water extracts (0.1g/ml) for 12 h and 24 h respectively. The expression of P53 protein in the groups of ethanol and water extracts were significantly increased, and the gene expressions of p53 and fas were aslo highly up-regulated. Conclusion:The antitumor effect of Pleurotas sapidus on tumor cell lines in vitro is evident, and its mechanisms are probably associated with the regulation of apoptosis by inducing the gene expressions related to apoptosis.

Objective To explore the regulatory effects of HTLV-1 ( human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 ) Tax protein on the expression of HMGB 1 ( high mobility group box 1 ) gene in T cells .Methods Total RNA and protein were extracted from Tax +-T cells ( TaxP ) , Tax--T cells ( TaxN ) and Jurkat cells which were stably transfected with pCMV-Tax and pCMV-Neo, respectively.Then, the expression levels of HMGB1 mRNA and protein in different CD 4+T cells were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blot (WB).By using liposome-mediated method, pGL3-HMGB1-luc reporter genes and pGL3-neo-luc were tran-siently transfected into TaxP and TaxN cells and the basal transcriptional activity was observed in different T cells.Additionally, pCMV-Tax and pGL3-HMGB1-luc reporter genes were also co-transfected into Jurkat cells and the regulatory effects of Tax protein on HMGB 1 gene was detected .The chromatin immunoprecipi-tation (ChIP) assay was used to identify HMGB1 genomic sites directly targeted by Tax .Results The ex-pression levels of HMGB1 mRNA and protein in Tax+-T cells ( TaxP) were higher than those in Tax--T cells (TaxN).The transcription regulation trends for HMGB1 gene in TaxN and TaxP cells were similar but not identical in diverse T cells.pHLuc3 (containing -504-+83 HMGB1) showed the highest transcriptional ac-tivity of HMGB1 gene in both TaxP and TaxN cells , but HMGB1 transcriptional activity of pHLuc 6 in TaxP cells was significantly stronger than that in TaxN cells .Luciferase assays also showed that Tax protein promo-ted the transcription of HMGB1 gene in a dose-dependent manner .The ChIP assay further confirmed that Tax protein enriched at the HMGB1 region of -1163--1043.Conclusion The region of nt -504--383 is essen-tial for the basal promoter activity of -1163-+83 HMGB1 gene originated from pHLuc 6 reporter plasmid , and Tax protein enriched probably at the HMGB 1 site of -1163--1043 enhances HMGB1 transcription.

Objective To observe the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) for circumscribed choroidal hemangioma (CCH).Methods A retrospective observational case series study was performed.Seventeen eyes of 17 patients were diagnosed with CCH and then underwent PDT based on ICGA image in Xuzhou Municipal Hospital from August,2010 to May,2018.The size of the treatment spot was decided according to ICGA images.The period of mean follow-up visit ranged from 6 to 36 months,with an average of (23.3± 1 1.8) months.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),sub-retinal fluid (SRF) and central retinal thickness (CRT) based on optical coherence tomography (OCT),the tumor diameter based on ICGA and the tumor thickness based on coloured doppler imaging (CDI) before and after treatment were analyzed.Results Sixteen cases received only one PDT session,one case had ever received PDT and another case had ever received focal laser photocoagulation.The mean BCVA (LogMAR) was 0.99±0.52,1.09±0.50,0.97±0.53,0.81±0.66,0.79±0.69,and the mean CRT was (440.76±281.34),(329.18± 175.02),(274.24± 169.55),(271.53 ± 150.00),(291.06 ± 201.41)μm before PDT,at 1 week,1 month,3 months and the last visit after treatment,with significant differences among the follow-up time (F =6.965,P =0.006;F =8.784,P =0.002).The decimal visual acuity was increased by at least 2 lines in 9 eyes (52.9%),fluctuated within 2 lines in 7 eyes (41.2%),while decreased by at least 2 lines in one eye (5.9%).SRF of all patients was involved in macular area.The absolute absorption of SRF was found in 7 eyes (41.2%) and partial absorption in 8 eyes (47.1%) at 3 months follow-up visit.In the last follow-up visit,the absolute absorption of SRF was found in 12 eyes (70.6%),partial absorption was found in 3 eyes (17.6%) and 2 eyes (11.8%) underwent no change.On FFA and ICGA,the decrease of tumor size was found in 15 patients,while the others underwent no change.All patients underwent less enhanced hyperfluorescent after treatment.The mean tumor height was (3.80± 1.13)mm before PDT and (3.42± 1.14)mm on the last visit,with a significant difference between them (t=4.101,P=0.010).Conclusions PDT with verteporfin for CCH can promote the improvement of visual acuity,the absorption of SRF,the anatomical reposition of the retina and the decrease of tumor size.The majority of patients can get therapeutic effect after one PDT session.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate th e effectiveness ,safety and economy of albu min-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX)in the treatment of breast cancer by using rapid health technology assessment (HTA),and to provide evidence-based reference for drug selection. METHODS :Retrieved from PubMed ,the Cochrane Library ,CNKI,Wangfang database and other databases ,systematic evaluation/Meta-analysis,HTA and pharmacoeconomic studies about nab-PTX in the treatment of breast cancer were included ;the conclusions were classified and analyzed by using descriptive analysis. RESULTS :A total of 5 systematic reviews/Meta-analysis , 8 pharmacoeconomic studies were included in this study. Compared with conventional taxanes ,nab-PTX increased pathological complete response (pCR)rate [OR =1.39,95%CI(1.16,1.67),P<0.001] and event-free survival (EFS)[HR=0.69,95%CI(0.57, 0.85),P<0.001] in neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC)-treated breast cancer patients. However ,there were no significant differences in overall survival (OS),progression-free survival (PFS),objective response rate (ORR)and disease control rate (DCR)in metastatic breast cancer (MBC)patients between 2 groups. In the terms of safety ,nab-PTX increased the incidence of grade 3-4 sensory neuropathy [OR =1.89,95%CI(1.36,2.61),P<0.001] in MBC patients ,and increased the incidence of neutropenia [OR = 1.52,95%CI(1.23,1.88,P<0.001],sensory neuropathy [OR = 2.17,95%CI(1.38,3.40),P<0.001],rash [OR =1.46,95%CI mei1213@163.com (1.18,1.80),P<0.001] and fatigue [OR =1.28,95%CI(1.04, 1.56), P=0.02] in NAC -treated breast cancer patients.Pharmacoeconomic studies showed that nab-PTX could improve the quality adjusted lif e years of MBC patients compared with traditional taxanes ,and it was a economical option. CONCLUSIONS:Nab-PTX enhances pCR in NAC-treated breast cancer patients ,but has no significant advantage in the effectiveness of MBC patients ,and increases the occurrence of ADR. Nab-PTX may have a cost-utility advantage over conventional taxanes for MBC.
