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 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.

OBJECTIVE:To provide evidence for rational use and clinical monitoring of Alprostadil lipid-micro injection (Li-po-PGE1). METHODS:Adult inpatients receiving Lipo-PGE1 from hospital information system(HIS)of 159 hospitals were select-ed as research subject. Based on frequency statistics,population,clinical diagnosis,and average daily dose of Lipo-PGE1 were all studied. RESULTS:A total of 71687 adult inpatients were included,and the male was more than female,mostly aged 61-75. The hospitalization duration was 8-14 d(45.01%),most of patients were recovered(68.20%). Lipo-PGE1 was wildly used in the clin-ic,and was used for 871 kinds of clinical diseases in total;top 3 diseases were cerebral infarction(9.06%),non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (8.65%) and chronic ischemic heart disease (8.08%). The average daily dose of different diseases and different hospitals were significantly different,mostly≤12.5μg. CONCLUSIONS:As adjuvant drug,medical institutions and related super-vision departments should formulate reasonable monitoring index and strengthen medication guidance and evaluation of Lipo-PGE1.

Objective To evaluate the effect of polysaccharide nucleic acid fraction of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG-PSN) on peripheral blood CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells in patients with condyloma acuminatum (CA).Methods Forty-two patients with first onset of CA were randomly assigned to receive either injection of BCG-PSN (0.35 mg every other day for 3 months) after fulguration (combination group,26 patients),or fulguration only (fulguration group,16 patients).Venous blood samples were obtained from all the patients at the initial visit and three months after the beginning of treatment,as well as from 30 healthy checkup examinees.The percentage of peripheral Treg cells in CD4+ T lymphocytes was determined by flow cytometry.The recurrence of CA was evaluated during the three months after the beginning of treatment.Results The percentage of peripheral Treg cells in CD4+ T lymphocytes was significantly higher in patients with CA than in the controls (8.31% ± 1.24% vs.5.15% ± 0.72%,P < 0.01),and in patients with clinical recurrence of CA than in those without (9.34% ± 0.72% vs.7.45% ± 0.85%,P < 0.01).The recurrence rate was significantly lower in the combination group than in the fulguration group (30.77% vs.68.75%,P < 0.05).After three months of treatment,the combination group showed lower percentage of Treg cells in CD4+ T cells compared with the fulguration group (5.87% ± 1.05% vs.6.60% ± 0.75%,P < 0.05).Conclusions The percentage of Treg cells has a close relationship with the progression of CA,i.e.,the higher the percentage,the more frequent the relapse.BCG-PSN may enhance the antiviral immune response in patients with CA and improve their prognosis by reducing the number of Treg cells.

Objective To compare the difficult degree,differences in gastric pouch volume,the complications,and postoperative weight loss effect of two gastric pouch practices in laparoscopic gastric bypass for bariatrics.Methods We retrospectively analyzed laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in 76 bariatrics cases from May 2010 to May 2012.Two methods were used to create gastric pouch,among which 39 cases were operated with the dissection landmark method (called dissection),and 37 cases with bougie airbags 30 ml (called the bougie).Parameters were compared between the 2 groups including operation time for gastric pouch,the amount of staple cartridges,intraoperative complications,blood loss,and postoperative excess weight loss percentage (EWL %),the postoperative bleeding,obstruction,fistula and other complications.Results All patients were followed up for more than one month.The dissection group used longer time in creating gastric pouch than that in the bougie group [(58 ± 27) min,(42 ±21) min,P < 0.01].The number of staple cartridges used were significantly different between the two groups [(6.2 ±3.0),(4.3 ± 2.0),P < 0.01].There were 10 cases of complications in the dissection group (26%),and 3 cases in the bougie group (8%) (P <0.05).One month after the surgery,one each patient had transient hematochezia.There was no gastric pouch-related complications in the two groups postoperation.There was no difference in excess weight loss (P > 0.05).Conclusions The two methods can achieve the same effect on excess weight loss.The bougie method used less time in creating the gastric pouch,less consumable materials,and less complications occurred in creating gastric pouch.
