Survival and Outcomes of Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myeloma Patients Stratified by Transplant Status 2007-2018: Retrospective Analysis from the Canadian Myeloma Research Group Database

BackgroundConsiderable progress has been made in therapeutic options for multiple myeloma (MM). Understanding the current landscape of MM treatment options and associated outcomes in the real world is important in providing key insights into clinical and knowledge gaps which could be targeted for further optimization.MethodsThe Canadian Myeloma Research Group Database (CMRG-DB) is a prospectively maintained disease-specific database with >7000 patients. The objective of this study was to describe the trends in the treatment landscape and outcomes including early mortality, time to next treatment, and overall survival (OS) in each line of treatment stratified by autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) receipt among newly-diagnosed MM patients in Canada between 2007 and 2018.ResultsA total of 5154 patients were identified among which 3030 patients (58.8%) received an upfront ASCT and 2124 (41.2%) did not. At diagnosis, the median age was 64 years and 58.6% were males. Bortezomib and lenalidomide were most frequently used (>50%) in first and second-line treatment respectively among both the ASCT and non-ASCT cohort. The median OS was 122.0 months (95% Cl 115.0-135.0 months) and 54.3 months (95% CI 50.8-58.8 months) for the ASCT and non-ASCT cohort respectively with an incremental decrease in OS in each subsequent line of treatment.ConclusionWe present the largest study to date in the Canadian landscape showing the characteristics, therapy usage, and outcomes among MM patients. This information will be critical in benchmarking current outcomes and provide key insight into areas of unmet needs and gaps for improvement of MM patients nationally.     

Cardioprotective effects of sinomenine in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model

BackgroundIschemia reperfusion (I/R) play an imperative role in the expansion of cardiovascular disease. Sinomenine (SM) has been exhibited to possess antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anticarcinogenic properties. The aim of the study was scrutinized the cardioprotective effect of SM against I/R injury in rat.MethodsRat were randomly divided into normal control (NC), I/R control and I/R + SM (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg), respectively. Ventricular arrhythmias, body weight and heart weight were estimated. Antioxidant, inflammatory cytokines, inflammatory mediators and plasmin system indicator were accessed.ResultsPre-treated SM group rats exhibited the reduction in the duration and incidence of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular ectopic beat (VEB) and ventricular tachycardia along with suppression of arrhythmia score during the ischemia (30 and 120 min). SM treated rats significantly (P < 0.001) altered the level of antioxidant parameters. SM treatment significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the level of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB), creatine kinase (CK) and troponin I (Tnl). SM treated rats significantly (P < 0.001) repressed the tissue factor (TF), thromboxane B2 (TXB2), plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) and plasma fibrinogen (Fbg) and inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory mediators.ConclusionOur result clearly indicated that SM plays anti-arrhythmia effect in I/R injury in the rats via alteration of oxidative stress and inflammatory reaction.     

"肾脑相济"电针对阿尔茨海默病模型小鼠行为学及IL-1β、TNF-α表达的影响

目的观察"肾脑相济"电针对阿尔茨海默病(AD)模型小鼠行为学和大脑皮质炎性因子白细胞介素-1β(IL-1b)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)表达的影响,探究"肾脑相济"电针疗法治疗阿尔茨海默病的作用机理。方法将7月龄雄性SAMP8小鼠随机分成模型组、西药组和电针组,每组6只;将SAMR1小鼠作为对照组。西药组给予盐酸多?哌齐灌胃,电针组电针百会、肾俞和三阴交。采用Morris水迷宫观察小鼠行为学,应用免疫组化法、Western Blot法测定大脑皮质区IL-1b、TNF-α的阳性细胞数和蛋白表达。结果与对照组比较,模型组小鼠学习记忆能力明显下降,IL-1b、TNF-α的表达升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);与模型组比较,西药组和电针组小鼠学习记忆能力增强,IL-1b、TNF-α的表达降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);与西药组比较,电针组小鼠学习记忆能力及IL-1b、TNF-α的表达变化不明显,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论"肾脑相济"电针疗法可以改善SAMP8模型小鼠的学习和记忆能力,降低大脑皮质区IL-1b、TNF-α的含量,从而对阿尔茨海默病达到治疗效果。
