Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2009;9(6):380-382
Objective To investigate the effects of mirtazapine in combination with gemcitabine on food intake,body weight and tumor growth of human pancreatic carcinoma xenografts in nude mice.Methods 24 subcutaneous pancreatic cancer xenograft nude mice were randomly divided into control group,gemcitabine group(receiving 100 mg/kg gemcitabine i.P.on days 1,4,7 and 10 after operation)and combination group (gemcitabine as above and mirtazapine,10 mg·kg~(-1)·d~(-1),orally feeding for 21 days),with 8 mice in each group. All mice were sacrificed at day 21.Food intake,body weight and tumor size were compared among three groups.Results Gemcitabine group showed significant anti-tumor effects,but adverse effects such as decreasing food intake and body weight Was also noted. On days 21,there Was no significant difference in tumor size between combination group and gemcitabine group.The tumor inhibition rates of the two groups were 69.13%and 71.60%respectively(P>0.05).The food intake of mice and body weight[(3.12±0.11)g and(14.68±0.42)g]in combination group were slightly greater than these of gemcitabine group[(2.96±0.14)g and(14.38±0.61)g,P>0.05],but these parameters were significantly lowerthan those of control group[(4.65±0.13)g and(17.46±0.52)g,P<0.05].Conclusions Gemcitabine chemotherapy showed significant anti-tumor effects. Mirtazapine cannot significantly enhance the anti.tumor effect of gemcitabine. However,mirtazapine could alleviate adverse events of gemcitabine to some extent.

Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2008;8(4):227-229
Objective To investigate the effect of different antidepressants (mirtazapine and fluoxetine) on food intake, body weight, tumor growth in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer. Methods A subcutaneous xenograft mouse model of human pancreatic cancer SW1990 was established. The tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into saline solution control group, mirtazapine group, fluoxetine group, with 7 mice in each group. All mice were treated once daily with saline solution, mirtazapine (10mg·kg-1·d-1), fluoxetine (10mg· kg-1·d-1), orally by using metal garage feeding needles for 42 days. Tumor size, body weight, food intake were investigated. Results There was no significant difference in tumor size in the three groups. From the 2nd week, the food intake of mice in the mirtazapine group significantly increased compared with other two groups; the body weight of mice in the mirtazapine group at the 4th week was (16.00±1.41) g, which was higher than those in other two groups (P<0.05); from the 3rd week, the food intake of mice in the fluoxetine group significantly decreased compared with control group, and the body weight also decreased significantly from the 6th week (P<0.05) ; at the 6th week, the food intake of mice in the control, mirtazapine and fluoxetine groups were (3.54±0.13)g, (4.19±0.16)g and (3.34±0.13)g, and the body weight were (13.71±1.11)g, (14.86±1.68)g and (12.57±1.51)g, respectively. Conclusions Mirtazapine was better than fluoxetine in increasing food intake and alleviating body decreasing on a pancreatic cancer mouse model. However, there was no significant effect on the pancreatic tumor growth.
3.Experimental study of zinc finger protein A20 inhibiting oxidized low density lipoprotein induced migration in smooth muscle cell
Journal of Chinese Physician 2010;12(5):577-580
Objective To investigate the possible mechanisms of ox-LDL on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) with and without exogenous zinc finger protein A20 gene. Methods VSMC were trans-fected with plamid containing A20 gene and incubated with ox-LDL. TLR4 and LOX-1 mRNA expression were measured by RT-PCR. Results After VSMC incubated with ox-LDL, the expression of LOX-1 and TLR-4 mRNA reached a higher level. However, when VSMC were transfected with plasmid containing A20 gene, the NF-kB nuclear translocation and the ability of migration reduced to normal level. Conclusions ox-LDL can significantly activate NF-kB signaling system and enhance migration in VSMC. The activation may induce the inflammatory response in arterial wall, the migration of VSMC to the intima, and triggering the process of atherosclerosis. Transfecting plasmid containing A20 gene significantly inhibited the activation of NF-kB and the ability of migration of VSMC. A20 effects might be through inhibiting NF-kB signaling. Meanwhile, A20 blocked the development of atherosclerosis.

Objective:
To investigate the trend in mortality of malignant tumors in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City from 2017 to 2022, so as to provide insights into formulation of the malignant tumor control strategy.
Methods:
Data on mortality of malignant tumors in Xiaoshan District from 2017 to 2022 were collected through Hangzhou Municipal Chronic Disease Monitoring Management System, and the cause of death composition ratio and crude mortality were calculated. The mortality of malignant tumors was standardized by the population of the sixth National Population Census in China in 2010. The trend in mortality of malignant tumors were evaluated with average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results:
There were 13 301 malignant tumor deaths reported in Xiaoshan District from 2017 to 2022, accounting for 31.26% of the total cause of death and ranking the first among the causes of death. The crude mortality was 186.36/105 and standardized mortality was 106.63/105. There was no significant trend in the crude mortality of malignant tumors in Xiaoshan District from 2017 to 2022 (P>0.05), while the standardized mortality showed a tendency towards a decline (AAPC=-1.409%, P<0.05). The crude and standardized mortality of malignant tumors were higher in men than in women (241.40/105 vs. 133.37/105; 132.66/105 vs. 79.35/105; both P<0.05). There was no obvious trend in the crude mortality of malignant tumors in men (P>0.05), and the standardized mortality showed a tendency towards a decline (AAPC=-3.017%, P<0.05). While there was no obvious trend in the crude and standardized mortality of malignant tumors in women (P>0.05). The crude mortality of malignant tumors showed a tendency towards a decline among residents at ages of 15 to 44 years and 65 years and older (AAPC=-3.933% and -2.413%, both P<0.05). The crude mortality of malignant tumors was higher in men than in women among residents at ages of 0 to 14 years, 45 to 64 years and 65 years and older (all P<0.05). The five most common causes of death included lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer, accounting for 66.96% of all malignant tumors. The crude mortality of colorectal cancer from 2017 to 2022 showed a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=2.815%, P<0.05).
Conclusions
The standardized mortality of malignant tumors showed a tendency towards a decline in Xiaoshan District from 2017 to 2022. Management of malignant tumors should be given a high priority among men at ages of 45 years and older, and lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer and pancreatic cancer were leading causes of death.
