1.Mechanism of NLRC5 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(2):157-160
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common malignant lymphoma in China,which mostly starting from the lymph nodes.The studies find that the expression of NLRC5,member of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor (NLR) family,is evident in the lymphoid cells,which is likely to be an important basis for lymphocyte tumorigenesis.NLRC5 can block the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB),a core component of signal transduction pathway,and affect the development of tumor.While continuing activation of NF-κB is a necessary condition for DLBCL cell survival.Therefore,NLRC5 is likely to inhibit excessive inflammation,thereby inhibiting the function of DLBCL,which promises to be a new target for immunotherapy treatment of DLBCL.

Objective To investigate the changes of uveoscleral pathway by an I1 receptor agonist,moxonidine,and with pretreatment of antagonists topical administration,and to study the mechanism that moxonidine improves uveoscleral outflow.Methods Moxonidine was administered unilaterally and topically to rabbits and with pretreatment of the antagonists,namely,prazosin,yohimbine and efaroxan.FITC-BSA,a tracer agent,was injected into the anterior chamber after moxonidine treatment or with pretreatment of the antagonists.Frozen sections were undertaken at different time points between 2 to 10 h.Fluorescence intensity was observed in the sites of uveoscleral pathway in the sections by fluorescence microscopy.Results Bilateral fluorescence intensity treated with moxonidine was more intense than that with placebo,and the most intense regions of fluorescence were ciliary body and superchoroidal space.Fluorescence intensity by prazosin pretreatment was not significantly different compared to that by moxonidine,while yohimbine and efaroxan pretreatment decreased the intensity compared with moxonidine(P

Objective To appraise therapeutic effects of tubeimoside on herpes simplex keratitis of rabbits. Methods HSV-1 (SM_(44) strain) is recovered on monolayers of BHK-21 cell cultures, then rabbit model of HSK was established after inoculation. After 0.2g/L Tu topically given, all eyes are examined by using slit-lamp-microscopy, and corneal samples were observed for ocular changes under transmission and scanning electromicroscope. (Results )Differences were significant in the three groups of corneal involvement scores. 0.2g/L Tu can obviously reduce corneal involvement area, and can also help to rehabilitate affected corneal epithelial cells. Conclusion Tu agent is able to cure experimental HSK to a certain degree, however, is less effective on HSK than acyclovir.

Objective:To investigate the impacts of gantry rotation angle errors, monitor unit (MU) errors, collimator and multi-leaf collimator (MLC) position errors upon the γ passing rate of dose verification in volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).Methods:Ten patients with rectal cancer and 10 patients with uterine tumors were selected. The operating errors of accelerator parameters were introduced during the VMAT execution. By comparing the γ passing rates during dose verification between the simulating and original plans, the impact and sensitivity of the operating errors of each accelerator parameter on γ passing rate were analyzed.Results:When the γ criteria were set as 3%/3 mm, 3%/2 mm and 2%/2 mm, the γ passing rate decreasing gradient was less than 7.0% after the introduction of gantry rotation angle, MU and collimator position errors, respectively. However, after the reverse, opposite, and co-directional motion errors of the MLC blades on both sides were introduced, the γ passing rate decreasing was less than 19.13 %, 18.53%, 0.19 %; 19.87%, 20.01%, 0.42 % and 23.11%, 23.45%, 0.65 % for absolute dose verification, respectively.Conclusion:During VMAT, the reverse and opposite motion errors of MLC blades exert more significant effect on the γ passing rate compared with the gantry rotation angle errors, MU errors, collimator position errors and co-directional motion errors of the MLC blades. When the γ criteria of 3%/3 mm, 3%/2 mm and 2%/2 mm are adopted, the impact of accelerator operating errors upon the γ passing rate is strengthened in sequence. Therefore, when performing dose verification for a specific patient, appropriate γ criteria should be chosen and absolute dose verification should be taken as the reference index to evaluate the consistency between the calculated and measured dose distribution.
