Chinese Journal of General Surgery 2014;29(4):299-302
Objective To investigate the correlation of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism and serum tamoxifen (TAM) and its active metabolites (4-hydroxy tamoxifen,4-OH-TAM) in terms of prognosis of breast cancer patients.Methods The oral mucosas and serum were obtained from 200 breast cancer patients receiving oral TAM from Jan 2008 to Oct 2010.Real-time RT-PCR was used to determine CYP2D6* 10 gene polymorphism.The relationship between CYP2D6* 10 gene polymorphism and clinicopathological features and prognosis was assessed by Chi-square test and Cox proportional model.Serum TAM and 4-OH-TAM concentration were determined by liquid chromatography-trap mass spectrometry (LC-MS).Results Of 200 breast cancer patients,CYP2D6 * 10/* 10 homozygotes were found in 94 cases (47%),CYP2D6 wt/wt wild type in 48 cases (24%) and CYP2D6 wt/* 10 heterozygote in 58 cases (29%).The concentration of serum 4-OH-TAM in patients with CYP2D6 wt/wt wild type and wt/* 10 heterozygote was significantly higher than that in patients with CYP2D6 * 10/ * 10 homozygote (F =4.31,P =0.01).CYP2D6 gene polymorphism was not related to clinicopathological features (P > 0.05).Logrank test showed that patient's disease-free survival with mutational CYP2D6 (mean,47.2 months) was significantly shorter than that in patients without mutational CYP2D6 (mean,51.2 months) (P =0.018).Cox proportional model showed that CYP2D6 genotype was related to disease-free survival (HR =2.755,95%CI:1.230 ~6.173,P =0.014).Conclusions CYP2D6 *10/* 10 genotype is related to curative effect of TAM on breast cancer patients,detection of CYP2D6 * 10/* 10 genotype helps improve the choice of TAM therapy.

Objective To investigate the effects of simvastatin on the expression of lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) or Glucose in U937 macrophages, and explore the role of NF-κB in modulating of LOX-1 expression. Methods U937 macrophages were treated with PMA to induce differentiation, which were co-cultured with 50 mg/L ox-LDL or/and 25 mmol/L glucose. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) and simvastatin (1 μmol/L or 10 μmol/L) were used to treat cells. The expression of LOX-1 protein and NF-κB ac- tivity were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology. The expression of LOX-1 mRNA was measured by RT-PCR. Results The expression of LOX-1 was up regulated by ox-LDL, glucose and combination of both. The inhibitor of NF-κB PDTC suppressed this up-regulation. Simvastatin suppressed the expression of LOX-1 induced by ox-LDL, and showed a significant effect in the higher concentration. There was no significant effect of simvastatin on the expression of LOX-1 induced by glucose. The variation of NF-κB activity was similar to that of LOX-1 expression. Conclusion Simvas- tatin suppressed the expression of LOX-1 induced by ox-LDL, while no significant effect on the expression of LOX-1 in- duced by glucose. The expression and regulation of LOX-1 were related with NF-κB pathway.

Objective To explore the clinical value of tissue synchronization imaging(TSI) in assessment of the characteristics of myocardium asynchrony in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy(ICM). Methods Thirty-eight patients with ICM were divided into two groups: 26 patients without left bundle branch block(LBBB) in group A, and 12 patients with LBBB in group B. The control group consisted of 26 normal healthy subjects. According to 2D color,the characteristics of myocardium motion in each group were compared by TSI. The time for reaching systolic velocity peak(Ts) and early diastole velicity peak(Te) were measured separately in 12 segments. Standard deviations of Ts(Ts-SD) and Te(Te-SD) as well as difference of Ts(Ts max-min) and Te(Te max-min) of all 12 segments were calculated. The myocardium synchronization were assessed in each group. Results ①91.8% segments in the control group showed normal, with only 8.2% segments were slightly prolonged. TSI of all the ICM patients showed an obvious uneven chroma distribution from green to yellow and then to red. There were far more yellow or red segments than in the control group. ②Ts-SD.Ts max-min of LV 12 segments were significantly prolonged in all ICM groups compared with that in the control group ( P <0. 05). Systolic asynchrony was more obvious in group B than in group A. ③Te-SD,Te max-min of LV 12 segments were significantly prolonged in ICM groups than in the control group ( P < 0. 05). Diastolic asynchrony was more obvious in group B than in group A( P < 0. 05). ④Compared with that in the control group, postsystolic shortening(PSS) was common in patients with ICM. 32. 4% segments of group A were detected PSS.and 56. 0% segments of group B were detected PSS. Conclusions Left ventricular systolic and diastolic mechanical asynchrony is obvious in patients with ICM and PSS is common among them. Systolic and diastolic mechanical asynchrony is more severe in ICM patients with LBBB. TSI is the optimal means to evaluate the characteristics of asynchronous myocardial contraction.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of electroacupuncture and diet adjusting on insulin resistance in rats with nutrition obesity, and the role of electroacupuncture and diet adjusting in the treatment of obesity. METHODS: Obesity was induced in rats by high-fat diet. Rats with nutrition obesity were randomly divided into high-fat diet (HD) group, high-fat diet plus electroacupuncture (HA) group, normal diet (ND) group and normal diet plus electroacupuncture (NA) group, with another group of SD rats as normal control (NC). After 15 days, all the rats' body weight and length were measured, the Lee's index was calculated, and the levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), free fatty acid (FFA), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were detected. RESULTS: Compared with the HD group, food intake, body weight and viscera fat weight of the rats with nutrition obesity in the HA group and the NA group were markedly reduced (P<0.05). The levels of blood serum TC, FFA and IR index in the NA group were obviously lower than those in the HD group (P<0.01). The levels of TNF-alpha and FINS in the NA group were lower than those in the HD group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Electroacupuncture plus diet adjusting can decrease the levels of serum TNF-alpha and FINS of the obesity rats, and improve the state of insulin resistance.

Objective To explore the relationship between dipeptidyl peptidaseⅡ(DPPⅡ) and the pathogenesis of congenital cataract.Methods Eighty SCR rats with congenital cataract were randomly divided into four groups:8,10,12 and 14 weeks groups(n=20).Normal Wistar rats at each age were used as control groups.Immunohistochemical experiments using the streptavidin-biotin immunoper-oxidase method were used to observe the immunoreactivity changes of DPPⅡ in lens in SCR rats at different time(8,10,12,14 weeks).Results The immunoreactivities of DPPⅡ in the lens epithelial cells and fibres of cataractous lenses of all ages were higher than those in control groups.At the 12th and 14th week,immunoreactive staining of DPPⅡwas found to extend into the perinuclear region.Conclusion The immunoreactivity of DPPⅡ is enhanced in cataractous rat lenses.DPPⅡ may be participated in the proteolytic modification of lens proteins during cataractogenesis.
