Objective: To observe the effect of a novel targeted agent enzastaurin alone or in combination with gefitinib on ge-fitinib-resistant human non-small cell lung cancer cells to explore the rational drug combination. Methods: CCK-8 assay was used to measure the cell proliferation. Combination index ( CI) was calculated by Chou-Talalay method to assess the efficacy of the combination therapy. The flow cytometry (FCM) was used to analyze the change in the cell cycle. Results:In 72h, the IC50 value of gefitinib and enzastaurin for the lung cancer NCI-H460 cells was 6. 99μmol·L-1 (95%CI:3. 55-13. 79μmol·L-1 ) and 7. 25μmol·L-1 (95%CI:4. 77-1. 02 μmol·L-1), respectively. The inhibition effect on the cell proliferation was stronger in the combination treatment than that in the monotherapy (P<0. 05), and the simultaneous treatment showed the most significant inhibition effect (P<0. 01). The IC50 value of gefitinib for H460 cells in the simultaneous administration group, the sequential administration group with gefitinib used first and the sequential administration group with enzastaurin used first was 0.006 μmol·L-1(95%CI:0.002-0.020μmol·L-1), 0.02μmol·L-1(95%CI:0.011-0.037 μmol·L-1) and 0.085 μmol·L-1(95% CI:0.042-0.170μmol·L-1, respectively. The CI of the simultaneous administration group was lower than one when the gefitinib concentration was above 0. 05μmol·L-1 . The cell cycle distribution result indicated that the simultaneous administration group had significantly increased G0/G1 proportion (P<0. 05) and induced cell cycle arrest at G1 phase. Conclusion:Protein kinase C inhibitor enzastaurin combined with EGFR inhibitor gefitinib shows a synergistic effect, suggesting that the combination treatment of the two drugs might be a new strategy for the follow-up therapy of gefitinib-resistant non-small cell lung cancer.

The fused gene (PTH-HSA) of parathyroid hormone (PTH) gene and Human Serum Albumin(HSA) gene was amplified without linker by Overlapping PCR technology. The spliced gene was clone into Pichia pastoris secretory vector pPIC9K. With the help of promoter AOX1 and mat ? signal peptide, the PTH-HSA gene was designed to secretory expression.Linearized by restriction enzyme SalI, The recombinant plasmid pPIC9K/PTH-HSA was transformed into Pichia pastoris KM71 by electroporation. The recombinant strains which were identified by G418 and PCR analysis were induced by methanol to express protein PTH-HSA. The target protein was expressed in fermentation supernatant. Western blot analysis of the fusion protein showed that the expressed fusion protein PTH-HSA had the antigenicity of HSA.adenylate cyclase assay proved that the fused protein exhibited the bioactivity to stimulate cAMP synthesis The specific activity of broth was about 318IU/ml.

Objective To compare the effect of thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery with conventional thoracic surgery on esophageal cancer and its influence on pulmonary function. Methods Ninety?four patients with esophageal cancer treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College from March 2010 to March 2016 were selected and were divided into the control group ( 54 cases) and the study group ( 40 cases) according to operation methods. The control group received traditional thoracotomy. The study group received thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery. The operation and pulmonary function indexes were compared. Results The operation time of the patients in the study group was significantly longer than that in the control group ( (218. 1±35. 8) min vs. (192. 3±40. 1) min,t=3. 23,P<0. 05). Intraoperative blood loss of the patients in the study group was significantly less than that in the control group ( (286. 4±83. 5) ml vs. (343. 7 ±96. 7) ml,t=3. 01,P<0. 05) . The number of lymph nodes cleared of the patients was significantly higher in the study group ( (18.0±5.4) node vs. (15.5±4.6) node,t=2.42,P<0.05).Thoracic drainage of the patients in the study group was significantly less than that in the control group ( (650. 3±61. 3) ml vs. (1153. 5 ±133. 7) ml,t=22. 12,P<0. 05). Chest tube pull out time in the study group was significantly earlier than that in the control group ( (5. 1±1. 3) d vs. (8. 0±1. 8) d,t=8. 65,P<0. 05). First exhaust time in the study group was significantly earlier than that in the control group ( (33. 2±6. 7) h vs. (40. 7±7. 3) h,t=5. 10,P<0. 05). Hospital stay in the study group was significantly shorter than that in the control group ( ( 13. 8 ± 2. 8 ) d vs. (18. 2± 3. 6) d, t=6. 42, P<0. 05) . Postoperative complications occurred in 4 cases in the study group, accounting for 10%, significantly lower than that in the control group, 15 cases, 27. 8%, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=4. 50,P<0. 05) . VC,FEV1 and MVV in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( VC:( 81. 5 ± 15. 6 )% vs. ( 42. 3 ± 8. 1 )%;FEV1: ( 85. 7 ± 9. 1 )% vs. ( 43. 6 ±6. 8)%;MVV:(76. 0±8. 9)% vs. (48. 3±7. 6)%,t=15. 83,25. 68,16. 24,P<0. 05). 3?year survival rate of the study group and the control group were 45. 0% (18/40) and 44. 4% (24/54),respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2 = 0. 01, P> 0. 05 ) . Conclusion Thoracoscopic and laparoscopic surgery for esophageal cancer has the advantages of small trauma,rapid recovery and low incidence of complications and obvious protective effect on pulmonary function. It is safe and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the performance of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based rapid detection of methicillin‐resistant S .aureus (MRSA) from the respiratory specimens of ICU patients in comparison with conventional sputum culture . Methods We collected 3 respiratory specimens from each patient simultaneously for bacterial culture ,fungal culture and PCR‐based detection of MRSA .The performance of the established PCR method was compared with the results of sputum culture in terms of sensitivity ,specificity ,positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) .Results The sensitivity , specificity ,PPV and NPV of PCR assay were 88 .9% ,73 .6% ,36 .4% ,and 97 .5% ,respectively ,which were lower than the reported results of PCR assay with nasal swabs .Conclusions The utility of PCR assay for active screening of MRSA from respiratory specimens still needs further supportive data .However ,PCR assay is somewhat informative in excluding MRSA infection or colonization because of its high NPV .
