1.The research progress on NAMPT in malignant tumors
Practical Oncology Journal 2016;30(2):158-161
Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase( NAMPT) is the rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes the first step in Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide( NAD) biosynthesis and regulates biological processes such as metab-olism,growth and apoptosis of cells.In the past few years,a large number of studies have found that expression level of NAMPT is increased in a variety of malignancies,which is associated with the progression and treatment of malig-nant tumors.The research of the mechanism of NAMPT in malignant tumors and molecule inhibitors of the NAMPT have brought new hope and prospect for the treatment of malignant tumors.This article makes a brief review of NAMPT research status in malignant tumors.

Objective To investigate the standard supplement of a certain dose of vitamin D for blood pressure control in pa-tients with essential hypertension.Methods 100 cases of patients with essential hypertension were randomly divided into 2 groups voluntarily,50 cases in each group.One group were set as control group,in which patients underwent a standard treatment.The other group was experimental group,in which 25 μg/d vitamin D was administrated in addition to standard treatment.Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25 (OH)D]concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and patients were followed up for one year to observe the situation of blood pressure controll.Mean and variable coefficient(CV)of systolic and dias-tolic blood pressure were calculated and compared between groups.Results In experiment group,the serum 25 (OH)D concentra-tion was (110.3±24.5)μg/L,systolic pressure was (144±16)mm Hg,variable coefficient of systolic pressure(CV1)was 11.1%, diastolic pressure was (87±9)mm Hg,variable coefficient of diastolic pressure(CV2)was 10.3%.While in control group,the 25 (OH)D concentration was (30.1±14.9)μg/L,systolic pressure was (145 ±26)mm Hg,CV1 was 17.9%,diastolic pressure was (87±10)mm Hg,CV2 was 12.4%.Serum 25(OH)D concentration and CV1 were statistically different between the two groups(P<0.01),CV2 was not statistically different(P >0.05).Conclusion Administrate quantitative vitamin D in addition to standard treat-ment is helpful for systolic pressure control in patients with essential hypertension but is meaningless for diastolic pressure control.

Objective To summarize our experience on the diagnosis and treatment of gastric smooth muscle tumor.MethodThe clinical data of 34 cases with gastric smooth muscle tumor were analyzed retrospectively.ResultLeiomyosarcomas were ≥5 cm in diameter in 68% of all cases, and ≥10 cm in 50%. Most leiomyosarcomas were located in the fundus and corpus of the stomach (94%). Some patients of gastric leiomyosarcoma have the triad of epigastric pain, mass, and bleeding. Gastroscopy examination often reveals a mass lying submucously. Total or partial gastrectomy was performed for all patients based on tumor size and locus. The 3, 5, 10-year′s survival rate were 87%, 52% and 26% respectively. Conclusion Most gastric leiomyosarcomas are characteristic of local invasiveness, postoperative survival is often favourable.

Objective To investigate the structural changes in specific serum N-glycans in pancreatic cancer patients and to identify the specific serum maker of pancreatic cancer.Methods The pancreatic cancer patients who visited the Third Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from June 201 1 to December 2013 were assigned to preoperative serum group (123 cases)and postoperative serum group (78 cases);healthy controls whose serum samples were collected in the Physical Examination Center were selected as control serum group (271 cases).DNA sequencer-aided fluorophore-assisted carbohydrate electrophoresis (DSA-FACE)was used to analyze serum N -glycans and compare them between the three groups.Results The serum N-glycan profiles in pancreatic cancer patients were identified by DSA-FACE.The results indicated that N-glycan peak 8 in preoperative serum group was significantly lower than those in control serum group (t=2.735,P<0.05)and postoperative serum group (P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between the postoperative serum group and control serum group.Conclusion N-glycan peak 8 can be considered as a serum marker of pancreatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis induced by adenovirus mediated PML growth suppressor in SGC-7901 gastric cancer cells. Methods Human full-length PML cDNA was cloned into shuttle plasmid pSGCMV, the constructed plasmid containing PML gene was co-transfected into 293 cells together with backbone plasmid pPE3 to obtain recombinant adenovirus Ad-pml. Ad-pml was used to infect SGC-7901 cells. The expression of p53 and bcl-2 in SGC-7901 cells and qualitative, quantitative index of cell apoptosis were detected with MTT, flow cytometry and immunohistochemical method. Results The growth of SGC-7901 cells was inhibited and the apoptosis rate was increased by adenovirus mediated PML in a MOI- dependent manner. The expression of p53 protein was increased and that of bcl-2 protein was unchanged in SGC-7901 cells after treated with adenovirus mediated PML. Conclusions Adenovirus mediated PML exerts its cytotoxic effect on SGC-7901 cells by inducing apoptosis. The increase of p53 protein expression is the mechanism inducing gastric cancer cell apoptosis.

Objective To study the CT findings of pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Methods The CT examinations of 12 patients with pathologically proven pulmonary MALT lymphoma were reviewed retrospectively. Evaluated imaging findings included number, distribution,shape, attenuation and other associated findings of each lesion were evaluated. Results Thirty-two pulmonary lesions, including consolidations, masses, nodules and lesions with ground glass attenuation,were identified in 12 patients. Multiple lesions were founded in 10 of 12 patients and solitary lesion in 2 patients. Multiple lesions found in one lung in 2 patients, and multiple lesions found in both lungs in 8 patients. Ten cases demonstrated 21 consolidation lesions with air bronchogram, and one of the ten cases demonstrated two lesions with airway dilatation. Three cases demonstrated 5 masses or nodular lesions, 3 of these 5 lesions showed air bronchogram. Two cases demonstrated 6 ground glass attenuation lesions. One case showed mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy. Conclusion Pulmonary MALT lymphoma usually appears as multiple bilateral consolidations, masses, nodules with air bronchogram or lesions with groundglass attenuation at CT imaging. The imaging findings described above and with an indolent clinical course may suggest the diagnosis of pulmonary MALT lymphoma.
