急性乙型肝炎患者pDCs上CD86表达变化及意义

目的 探讨外周血浆细胞样树突状细胞(pDCs)在急性乙型肝炎(AHB）患者临床转归中的变化及作用。方法 纳入2015年6月至2017年5月收治的急性乙型肝炎(AHB组)患者40例， 给予退黄、降酶、保肝等药物，并加用恩替卡韦0．5 mg空腹口服，1次/d。另纳入健康体检者26例为健康对照组（ HC组）。HC组于体检当天、AHB组于治疗前及治疗后6周采集外周静脉全血，采用ELISA法检测2组血浆HBV DNA、HBsAg、HbeAg及肝功能指标水平，并应用流式细胞仪检测pDCs的频数及其功能分子CD86的表达水平。结果 治疗6周后，AHB组临床症状显著缓解，血清学指标和乙型肝炎标志物水平显著下降（P<0.01）。治疗6周后，AHB组HBV DNA转阴率为82.5%，HBsAg清除率为72.5%，HBeAg血清学转换率为75.0%，与治疗前比较差异均有统计学意义（P<0.01）, HC组pDCs频数显著高于AHB组治疗前。AHB组治疗后CD86+pDCs显著高于治疗前。HC组CD86ABC显著低于AHB组治疗前。结论 在急性乙型肝炎患者外周血pDCs的数量降低。急性乙型肝炎患者在治疗后CD86+pDCs增多。急性乙型肝炎患者pDCs上CD86表达上调。     

旋覆代赭汤对反流性食管炎大鼠模型TLR4/NF-κB的影响

目的观察旋覆代赭汤对反流性食管炎(RE)模型大鼠食管黏膜与脂多糖(LPS)、Toll样受体4(TLR4)、核因子κB(NF-κB)表达的影响。方法将60只雄性Wistar大鼠按随机数字表法分为正常对照组、模型组、旋覆代赭汤组(简称中药组,9.89 g/kg)、西药(奥美拉唑+莫沙比利,2.58 mg/kg)组,每组15只。除正常对照组外大鼠采用“4.2 mm幽门夹+2/3胃底结扎术”制备酸碱混合反流RE大鼠模型。术后第7天予相应药物干预,持续干预14天。利用光学显微镜观察大鼠食管下段黏膜组织形态学变化;应用ELISA法检测定外周血中LPS含量;采用Western Blot法与RT-PCR法检测食管黏膜组织中TLR4、NF-κB蛋白和基因表达。结果与正常对照组比较,模型组大鼠食管黏膜镜下损伤最为严重,食管黏膜呈炎性改变,可见急慢性炎细胞浸润,病理积分和外周血中LPS含量升高(P<0.05),食管组织中TLR4、NF-κB蛋白和基因表达升高(P<0.05)。与模型组比较,中药组、西药组病理积分和外周血中LPS含量降低(P<0.05),食管组织中TLR4、NF-κB蛋白和基因表达亦明显降低(P<0.05)。结论旋覆代赭汤能够减轻RE模型大鼠食管黏膜的损伤,抑制TLR4、NF-κB的表达,促进食管黏膜损伤的恢复。     

结外NK/T细胞淋巴瘤患者鼻腔菌群失调与预后的关系

目的 探讨鼻腔菌群失调与结外NK/T细胞淋巴瘤（extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma，ENKTCL）预后的相关性。方法 回顾性分析244例初治ENKTCL患者的临床资料及鼻拭子培养结果，根据是否存在鼻腔菌群失调将患者分为菌群正常组（n=114）和菌群失调组（n=130），并分析菌群失调与患者临床病理特征、治疗效果及预后的关系。结果  菌群失调组患者共培养出409株优势菌株，以金黄色葡萄球菌、草绿色链球菌、表皮葡萄球菌及铜绿假单胞菌为主。菌群失调组患者的乳酸脱氢酶升高比例高于菌群正常组（P=0.044），预后评分PINK≥1的中危或高危患者比例亦高于菌群正常组（P=0.003）。治疗结束时，菌群失调组患者的完全缓解率显著低于菌群正常组（45.5% vs 61.4%，P<0.05），5年无疾病进展生存率亦低于菌群正常组（48.4% vs 63.9%，P=0.048）。亚组分析显示，早期及PINK低危患者中，菌群失调与否与患者的无疾病进展生存期有关（P=0.022， 0.011）。结论 鼻腔菌群失调与ENKTCL患者预后密切相关，针对鼻腔菌群失调的措施可能进一步改善ENKTCL的治疗效果及预后。     

胸腺瘤术后辅助放疗的现状及进展

手术切除是胸腺瘤最重要的治疗手段,然而,术后辅助放疗的作用一直存在不同争议。二维放疗时代多数获益不明显,精准放疗技术已使肿瘤放疗发生了较大的变化,胸腺瘤术后放疗价值也可能在改变。目前,放疗在手术切缘阳性或无法行手术切除者的作用是肯定的;在完整手术切除者中,Masaoka-Koga分期Ⅰ期患者无需术后辅助放疗,Ⅱ期患者术后辅助放疗作用争议较大,如果放疗宜考虑Ⅱb期、大体积、B2/B3型等因素;Ⅲ期术后辅助放疗也存在争议,但是多数结果倾向行术后放疗。术后辅助放疗宜采用精准放疗技术,照射范围建议瘤床三维外扩0.5 cm,肿瘤累及的纵隔胸膜及沿纵隔胸膜前后、头脚方向0.5～1.0 cm,肺侧纵隔胸膜为0.5 cm以内,以及肿瘤周血管壁和部分血管间隙,避免包括过多的正常组织。剂量在完全切除时为45~50Gy,非完全切除为54~60Gy或稍高,可能会使放疗获益增加和风险下降。质子、重离子等新型放疗技术的应用可获得剂量学方面的优势,是否能转化为临床获益还需进一步探究。

目的：探讨 circRNA_001569 通过 miR-145/HBXIP 轴在乳腺癌细胞增殖、侵袭、迁移中发挥的作用。方法:收集2016年1月至2019年1月期间衡水市人民医院收治的30例乳腺癌患者的癌组织和癌旁组织。qPCR检测circRNA_001569在乳腺癌组织、癌旁组织以及细胞系中的表达。生物信息学工具预测miR-145的靶基因，RNA免疫沉淀（RNA immunoprecipitation，RIP）和双荧光素酶报告基因实验检测 miR-145 或靶基因之间的相互作用 ；向乳 腺 癌 MDA-MB-231 和 MCF-7细胞中转染si-circRNA_001569、miR-145 mimics或miR-145 inhibitor，建立基因过表达或沉默的细胞模型，qPCR和Western blotting分别检测转染对相关基因和蛋白表达的影响，CCK-8法、Transwell实验检测转染对细胞增殖、侵袭和迁移的影响。结果:在乳腺癌组织和乳腺癌细胞中，circRNA_001569 和 HBXIP 均呈高表达、miR-145 呈低表达。RIP 分析和双荧光素酶实验证实了 miR-145 与circRNA_001569和HBXIP之间的靶向关系；circRNA_001569或HBXIP过表达促进MDA-MB-231和MCF-7细胞的增殖、侵袭和迁移（均 P<0.01），而 miR-145 过表达起相反的作用（均 P<0.01）。结论:circRNA_001569 可能通过下调 miR-145 的表达、上调HBXIP的表达从而促进乳腺癌细胞的增殖、侵袭和迁移。     

基于TGF-β1/p38MAPK/FN信号通路的放射性食管炎发病机制的研究

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis mechanism of radiation esophagitis from the perspective of mucosal regeneration and to determine whether it is associated with TGF-β1/p38MAPKs/FN signaling pathway. Methods The pathological analysis of esophageal specimens was performed by HE staining method. The expression of FN and TGF-β1 genes were observed by real time-PCR method, and the expression of tissue proteins TGF-β1, p38 and FN were detected by Western blot. Results The weights, food intakes and water intakes at the first week after the occurrence of radiation esophagitis were significantly decreased (P<0.05) and recovered at the fourth week. The esophageal mucosa was destructed at the first and second weeks, and the regeneration occurred in the fourth weeks; TGF-β1 and p38MAPK protein expression increased first and then decreased, while FN protein expression decreased first and then increased. Conclusion The TGF-β1/p38MAPK/FN signaling pathway may be involved in the process of mucosal repair. © 2020, CHINA RESEARCH ON PREVENTION AND TREATMENT. All rights reserved.     

SAMHD1通过调控p27表达抑制肝细胞癌细胞增殖的研究

背景与目的：不育α基序结构域和组氨酸/天冬氨酸残基双联体结构域包涵蛋白1（sterile alpha motif and histidine/aspartic acid domain-containing protein 1，SAMHD1）具有抑制多种肿瘤细胞生长的作用，但其调节肝细胞癌（hepatocellular carcinoma，HCC）细胞增殖的作用及机制尚未见报道。探究SAMHD1调控p27的表达对HCC细胞Huh7的增殖、凋亡和细胞周期的影响。方法：首先通过蛋白质印迹法（Western blot）检测正常肝细胞和不同类型HCC细胞中SAMHD1的表达情况。利用基因修饰技术构建过表达SAMHD1、dNTP酶活性位点突变体（SAMHD1-D207N）和磷酸化位点突变体（SAMHD1-T592E）的重组质粒，然后利用四甲基偶氮唑蓝（methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium，MTT）法检测过表达SAMHD1及其突变体或siRNA干扰沉默SAMHD1对HCC细胞增殖的影响，采用流式细胞术检测细胞周期与细胞凋亡情况。在癌症基因组图谱（The Cancer Genome Atlas，TCGA）数据库中分析SAMHD1和p27表达的相关性。结果：HCC细胞中SAMHD1表达上调，过表达SAMHD1、SAMHD1-D207N和SAMHD1-T592E可以抑制Huh7细胞增殖，细胞周期停滞在G ₁ /G ₀ 期；相反，干扰SAMHD1后细胞增殖加快，细胞周期停滞在G ₂ /M期。机制研究表明，SAMHD1上调细胞周期蛋白激酶抑制因子p27的表达。在HCC组织中，p27的表达与SAMHD1表达呈正相关。结论：过表达SAMHD1可以上调p27的表达，导致细胞周期停滞在G ₁ /G ₀ 期，从而抑制HCC细胞增殖，这种抑制作用不依赖于其dNTP酶活性和磷酸化修饰。     

Borderline or locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A single center experience on the FOLFIRINOX induction regimen

IntroductionThis study aimed to determine the impact of FOLFIRINOX neoadjuvant therapy on patients with non-metastatic borderline/locally advanced (BL/LA) pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), in current practice.Material and methodsFrom 2010 to 2017, 258 patients with BL/LA PDAC from a single high-volume institution received FOLFIRINOX neoadjuvant treatment.ResultsThe 258 patients received a median number of 6 cycles of FOLFIRINOX (range, 3–16); 98 (38%) patients underwent curative surgery, and 160 (62%) continued medical treatment. A venous resection was performed in 57 patients (58%), and an arterial resection in 12 (12%). The postoperative 30- and 90-day mortality rates were 6.1% and 8.2%, respectively. Adjuvant chemotherapy was performed in 57 patients (59%). The median overall survival (OS) in patients who did (n = 98) or did not (n = 160) undergo surgical resection were 39 months and 19 months, respectively (P < 0.001). In resected patients, the ASA 3 score (P < 0.01), venous resection (P < 0.01), hemorrhage (P < 0.01), and R1 margin status (P = 0.03) were found to negatively influence the OS. The median OS was significantly higher in patients who did not require a venous resection (not reached vs. 26.5 months, P < 0.001).ConclusionsNeoadjuvant FOLFIRINOX provided a survival benefit in BL/LA PDAC patients, particularly in those who did not ultimately require venous resection.     

Rociletinib (CO-1686) enhanced the efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents in ABCG2-overexpressing cancer cells in vitro and in vivo

Overexpression of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2) in cancer cells is known to cause multidrug resistance (MDR), which severely limits the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy. Currently, there is no FDA-approved MDR modulator for clinical use. In this study, rociletinib (CO-1686), a mutant-selective epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), was found to significantly improve the efficacy of ABCG2 substrate chemotherapeutic agents in the transporter-overexpressing cancer cells in vitro and in MDR tumor xenografts in nude mice, without incurring additional toxicity. Mechanistic studies revealed that in ABCG2-overexpressing cancer cells, rociletinib inhibited ABCG2-mediated drug efflux and increased intracellular accumulation of ABCG2 probe substrates. Moreover, rociletinib, inhibited the ATPase activity, and competed with [¹²⁵I] iodoarylazidoprazosin (IAAP) photolabeling of ABCG2. However, ABCG2 expression at mRNA and protein levels was not altered in the ABCG2-overexpressing cells after treatment with rociletinib. In addition, rociletinib did not inhibit EGFR downstream signaling and phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK). Our results collectively showed that rociletinib reversed ABCG2-mediated MDR by inhibiting ABCG2 efflux function, thus increasing the cellular accumulation of the transporter substrate anticancer drugs. The findings advocated the combination use of rociletinib and other chemotherapeutic drugs in cancer patients with ABCG2-overexpressing MDR tumors.
