1.Association of multidrug resistance gene MDR1 C3435T polymorphism with tumor incidence and treatment outcome
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(2):86-89
Multidrug resistance gene MDR1 C3435T polymorphism influences tumor incidence and treatment outcome. Carcinogenic substances are easier to accumulate in tissue for T allele patients, so TT genotype patients are more likely to develop into breast neoplasms, stomach neoplasms and colorectal neoplasms.Besides, the chemotherapy treatment outcome for patients with both C3435T TT genotype and wild-type KRAS is the best. However, due to ethnic, regional and sample differences, the relationship between C3435T polymorphism and stomach neoplasms 、colorectal neoplasms is still unclear.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes in the fibrinolytic system during and after open heart surgery performed with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and the effect of epsilon-aminocaproic acid (EACA) on fibrinolysis, postoperative blood loss and transfusion requirements.Methods Forty patients (24 males, 16 females) aged 17-43 yr undergoing valve replacement with CPB were randomized to receive EACA 200 mg?kg-1 (group A) or normal saline (group B) added to the priming solution. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular morphine 0.2 mg?kg-1 and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.2 mg ? kg, fentanyl 10 ?g?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT = 10 ml?kg-1 , RR = 10-12 bpm, I:E = 1:2) after tracheal intubation. Blood samples were taken before skin incision (baseline) , 8 and 30 min on CPB, 10 min after protamine administration and 2 h after operation for determination of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity, plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) activity, plasmin (Plm) activity and D-dimer. The amount of blood drained from chest and bank blood infused within 24 h after operation were recorded.Results (1) Group B (control group): PAI activity was maintained stable perioperatively. The t-PA activity and t-PA/PAI ratio increased significantly during operation but returned to the baseline value 2 h after operation. D-dimer level also significantly increased during and after operation. The Plm activity increased significantly at 8h on CPB and 10 min after protamine administration compared to the baseline value. (2) The t-PA activity and t-PA /PAI ratio were significantly lower in group A than in group B. The D-dimer level and Plm activity were also significantly lower in group A than in group B during and after operation. The amount of blood loss and bank blood infused within 24 h after operation was 40% and 37% less than that in group B.Conclusion Fibrinolytic system is activated during CPB as shown by the increase in plasminogen and t-PA/PAI ratio. EACA is effective in reducing postoperative blood loss and blood transfusion through inhibition of the activation of fibrinolytic system.

Objective:To investigate the serum hepcidin level and risk factors associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and foot ulcer in type 2 diabetic patients.Methods:From January 2019 to June 2019, 70 patients with type 2 diabetes in Department of Endocrinology of Xiangya Third Hospital were selected, including 21 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes (DM group), 23 patients with lower extremity vascular disease (PAD group) and 26 patients with foot ulcer (DF group). Serum hepcidin was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The serum levels of hepcidin in different groups were compared, and the correlation between diabetic lower extremity vascular disease and foot ulcer was analyzed.Results:⑴ The hemoglobin, albumin, triglycerides and total cholesterol were significantly lower in DF group compared with PAD and DM groups ( P<0.05), while the DF group patients were with higher white blood cell (WBC) count and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) than patients in PAD and DM groups ( P<0.05). DF group also showed significantly higher WBC, hs-CRP and neutrophil ratio level (NEUT%) than DM group ( P<0.05). The inflammatory indicators of WBC, hs-CRP and NEUT% showed no significant difference between DM group and PAD group ( P>0.05). ⑵ The levels of hepcidin in DF and PAD groups were higher than those in DM group, while that in DF group were higher than those in PAD group ( P<0.05); Hepcidin was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure, WBC count, NEUT% and ferritin ( P<0.05), and negatively correlated with hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, albumin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D ( P<0.05). ⑶ Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elevated hepcidin level was an independent risk factor for diabetic foot ulcer [ OR=1.755, 95% CI: 1.063-2.897, P=0.028]. Conclusions:The fluctuation of serum hepcidin level in diabetic patients is related to the stimulation of inflammation, the degree of anemia and the nutritional status, which means it might be an early indicator of inflammation in diabetic patients with peripheral arterial disease. Moreover, the increase of hepcidin is an independent risk factor for diabetic foot ulcers in our study.

Objective To characterize the expressions of androgen receptor (AR) and estrogen receptor (ER) in penis skin of patients with congenital hypospadias. Methods Dorsal prepuce, ventral prepuce, and urethral plate were harvested from 30 patients with congenital hypospadias. The expressions of AR and ER in epidermal cells and dermal fibroblasts were assessed respectively by automated immunohistochemistry. Image Pro plus 6.0 was used to analyze the optical density (OD) value of AR and ER in different parts of epidermal cells and dermal fibroblasts. Results AR and ER were located mainly in nucleis of the squamous basal cells and prickle cells, and were also found in nucleis of subcutaneous fibroblast cells. The expression of AR was lower in epidermis of urethral plate than that of dorsal prepuce and ventral prepuce (P<0.05), but no significant difference was detected in dermal fibroblasts. The expression of ER was higher in epidermis of dorsal prepuce than that of urethral plate and ventral prepuce (P<0.05). The dermal expression of ER in fibroblast cells was increased successively in dorsal prepuce, ventral prepuce and urethral plate (P<0.05). Conclusion Lower expression of AR in urethral plate may contribute the development of hypospadias. Disorder of ER in dermal fibroblast cells of prepuce may play an important role in hypospadias.

Aim To investigate the effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG)on the sensitivity of leukemia multi-drug resistant K562/ADMcells to adriamycin by inhib-iting glycolytic pathway as well as its molecular mecha-nisms.Methods The leukemia drug-resistant K562/ADM cells and parental K562 cells were used as the target cell models.The cell proliferating activity was assessed with an MTT colorimetric assay,and the gly-colysis including glucose consumption,lactate export, and hexokinase activity was determined by glucose, lactic acid and hexokinase (HK)testing kits.The ex-pression and phosphorylation of mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)and glucose transporter-4 (GLUT-4)expression were analyzed by western blot.Results K562/ADM drug-resistant cells possessed higher HK activity,GLUT-4 expression level and aerobic glycolic ability than K562 sensitive cells. 2-DG treatment markedly inhibited HK activity,glucose consumption, and lactate export both in K562 cells and K562/ADM cells,and suppressed the proliferation of the two cells in a time-and concentration-dependent manner.Low concentration of 2-DG or adriamycin could increase the expression and phosphorylation of mTOR.However, the co-administration of 2-DG and adriamycin markedly counteracted adriamycin-mediated enhancement of mTOR expression and phosphorylation and down-regu-lated GLUT-4 expression in K562/ADM cells,and 2-DG dramatically improved the sensitivity of K562/ADM cells to cytotoxicity.Conclusion 2-DG inhibits the proliferation of drug-resistant K562/ADM cells and en-hances the sensitivity to adriamycin by blocking aerobic glycolysis pathway through inhibiting hexokinase activi-ty,counteracting adriamycin-stimulated increased ex-pression and phosphorylation of mTOR and downregu-lating GLUT-4 expression.
