Objective:To investigate the value of serum miR-143 level combined with MRI in predicting the early response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 85 patients with pathologically confirmed cervical cancer underwent conventional MRI, intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI), and dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) before CCRT. The biopsy tissues and serum samples were collected. The differential expression of miRNA in the biopsy tissues was determined by microarray chip. The expression level of miR-143 in the serum samples was analyzed by qRT-PCR. All patients were divided into the non-residual and residual tumor groups according to post-treatment MRI. Pre-treatment clinical factors, MRI parameters and miR-143 between two groups were statistically analyzed by the univariate and multivariate analyses. The optimal thresholds and predictive performance for post-treatment incidence of residual tumors were estimated by drawing the ROC curve.Results:At one month after CCRT, there were 52 patients in the non-residual tumor group and 33 patients in the residual tumor group. In the residual tumor group, pre-treatment FIGO staging, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), D and V e were significantly higher (all P<0.05), whereas K trans value was significantly lower ( P<0.001) when compared to those in the non-residual tumor group. The miRNA array analysis showed that there were 16 miRNAs with differential expression levels between two groups (all P<0.05). Among them, the increase of miR-143 was the most significant in the residual tumor group. Compared with the residual tumor group, the expression level of serum miR-143 was significantly down-regulated in the non-residual tumor group ( P=0.002). Compared with the SiHa cells, the expression level of miR-143 in the SiHa-R cells was significantly up-regulated ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that only miR-143, D, K trans and V e were the independent prognostic factors. The combination of multi-parametric MRI and miR-143 exhibited the highest predictive performance (AUC=0.975), with a sensitivity of 84.8% and a specificity of 96.2%. Conclusion:The combination of multi-parametric MRI with miR-143 further improves the predictive performance for residual tumors after CCRT, which contributes to the personalized treatment of cervical cancer.

Objective:The clinical characteristics of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma-diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCNSL-DLBCL) and the effects of different treatment schemes on their survival and prognosis were analyzed retrospectively.Methods:A total of 49 patients with PCNSL-DLBCL who presented at the Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from July 2014 to December 2020 were included, and their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into four groups: the MTX group, the R-CDOP group, the BTKi-R-MTX group, and the RLZT group. The median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated, and the survival prognosis was compared by univariate and multivariate prognostic analysis.Results:The median OS time of the MTX group, the R-CDOP group, the BTKi-R-MTX group, and the RLZT group was 16.5 months, 4.5 months, 42 months, and not reached, respectively ( P<0.001) . The median PFS time of the MTX group, the R-CDOP group, the BTKi-R-MTX group, and the RLZT group was 7 months, 1.5 months, 20 months, and 5 months, respectively ( P=0.005) . Multivariate prognostic analysis showed that double expressor lymphoma, IESLG risk grade, and different treatment methods were the prognostic factors of PCNSL-DLBCL. Conclusion:The survival and prognosis of PCNSL-DLBCL are affected by different treatment schemes. The role of CD20 monoclonal antibody in the treatment of PCNSL-DLBCL is still controversial. The treatment scheme containing BTKi has great potential for PCNSL-DLBCL. RLZT scheme has a good prospect for elderly patients who cannot tolerate high-dose chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for content determination of paclitaxel in malignant ascites of tumor patients. METHODS:LC-MS/MS method was adopted. Using vindoline as internal standard,the content of paclitaxel in ascites of tumor patients was determined. The separation was performed on Zorbax SB-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of aqueous solution (containing 0.1% formic acid and 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate)-acetonitrile(40 ∶ 60,V/V)at the flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. the column temperature was 30 ℃,and sample size was 5 μL. The ion source was electrospray ion source,and the detection mode was multiple ion monitoring positive ion mode. MS parameters were set as following as dry gas temperature 350 ℃,dry gas flow rate 10 L/min,capillary voltage 4 000 V. Quantitative determination was operated in the multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode, with the ion transitions m/z 876.5→308.0 for paclitaxel and m/z 457.3→188.1 for the internal standard. The fragment voltage/ collision energy for paclitaxel and the internal standard were 250 V/30 eV,and 150 V/20 eV,respectively. RESULTS:The linear range of paclitaxel were 25-2 500 ng/mL(r2=0.996 5,n=7). The lowest limit of quantitation was 25 ng/mL. RSDs of inter-day and intra-day precision tests were 0.61% -3.62%(n=5,3). Accuracies were 95.34% -98.76%(n=5,3). RSDs of extraction recovery were 3.19%-3.72%(n=3). CV of matrix effect were 1.52%-2.93%(n=3). RE of stability tests were lower than 3%(n= 3). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and suitable for the content determination of paclitaxel in malignant ascites of tumor patients.

OBJECTIVE:To investiga te the effects of MEK/ERK pathway specific inhibitor PD 98059 combined with paclitaxel on the proliferation and apoptosis of human gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (SRCC)cells. METHODS :Using human SRCC KATO Ⅲ cells as object ,CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell proliferation after treated with paclitaxel ,PD98059 and two drug combination for 48 h,and the proliferation rate was calculated. Flow cytometry ,Western blotting and Transwell assay were used to detect the cell proliferation ,the expression of apoptosis related protein (Cleaved-caspase-3)and cell migration after treated with paclitaxel,PD98059 and two drug combination for 48 or 24 h. RESULTS :After treated with paclitaxel (1 μg/mL),PD98059(5, 20,40 μmol/L)and two drug combination (1 μg/mL+5,20,40 μmol/L),the proliferation rate of cells was increased significantly in administration groups ,and the combination groups were significantly higher than paclitaxel and PD 98059 alone groups (P< 0.05). After treated with paclitaxel (1 μg/mL),PD98059(5,20,40 μmol/L)and two drug combination (1 μg/mL+40 μmol/L), early and late apoptosis rate ,the protein expression of Cleaved-caspase- 3 were significantly increased in paclitaxel group and combination group ;combination group was significantly higher than paclitaxel and PD 98059 alone group (P<0.05). The number of migrated cells in administration groups were reduced significantly ,and the combination group was significantly lower than paclitaxel and PD 98059 alone group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS :Paclitaxel and PD 98059 can inhibit the proliferation and migration of human SRCC KATO Ⅲ cells,paclitaxel can also promote the apoptosis and the expression of apoptosis related protein,which may be related to the inhibition of MEK/ERK pathway. The effect of the combination of the two drugs is better than paclitaxel or PD 98059 alone.

Objective:To explore the pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of congenital factor Ⅶ (FⅦ) deficiency.Methods:Clinical data of 43 patients with congenital FⅦ deficiency diagnosed from April 1999 to September 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 27 females and 16 males. Median age was 16 (1-70) years. Family history was found in 6 cases. There were 29 (67.4%) cases with bleeding symptoms, most common of which were mucocutaneous bleeding (13 cases, 30.2%) , oral bleeding (13 cases, 30.2%) , and epistaxis (9 cases, 20.9%) . Menorrhagia occurred in 11 cases (47.6% of female patients who were in fertile age) . Laboratory findings were characterized by significantly prolonged prothrombin time (PT) , normal partial thromboplastin time (APTT) , and decreased FⅦ activity (FⅦ∶C) . Ten cases received gene mutation analysis and 3 new mutations were found. Fourteen cases (32.6%) were treated with prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) , 12 (27.9%) with fresh frozen plasma (FFP) , and 3 (7.0%) with human recombinant activated FⅦ (rFⅦa) . Twenty cases (46.5%) with no or mild bleeding symptoms did not receive any replacement therapy. Previous bleeding symptoms recurred in 5 patients (11.6%) , 8 females still had heavy menstrual bleeding, and 9 patients (20.9%) were lost to follow-up.Conclusion:Most patients with congenital FⅦ deficiency have mild or no bleeding symptoms, but have a tendency to excessive bleeding after surgery or trauma. There is no significant correlation between FⅦ∶C and severity of bleeding symptoms. Prophylaxis should be applied in patients with severe bleeding symptoms and rFⅦa is the first choice. Gene mutation test is significant for screening, diagnosis, and prognosis prediction of the disease.
