MGMT蛋白的表达与乳腺癌预后关系初探

目的:探讨MGMT蛋白在乳腺癌中的表达及其与乳腺癌预后的关系。方法:应用免疫组化法检测135例乳腺癌患者MGMT蛋白的表达,并探讨其与乳腺癌临床特征及预后的关系。结果:135例乳腺癌中MGMT蛋白总阳性率为84.4 %(114/135),但存在异质性。MGMT蛋白的阳性表达与患者年龄、月经状态、原发肿瘤大小、淋巴结转移情况及肿瘤的临床分期无明显相关性(P>0.05),与生存期无明显相关性(P>0.05),但与ER状况相关(P<0.025)。结论:MGMT蛋白的表达不能作为乳腺癌的一个预后指标。     

A lipophilic free radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis (2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN) enhances caspase-dependent apoptosis induced by hyperthermia.

PURPOSE: A free radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis (2-amidinopropane) dehydrochloride (AAPH), was previously found to enhance apoptosis by hyperthermia. Here, but more lipophilic free radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis (2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile) (AMVN) was investigated for its effects as a possible heat sensitizer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Human myelogenous monocytic leukaemia U937 cells were treated with hyperthermia combined with a various concentration of AMVN for investigating its ability to induce apoptosis and various parameters to identify the pathway. RESULTS: Combined treatment of hyperthermia and AMVN induced DNA fragmentation markedly, while hyperthermia or AMVN alone induced marginal DNA fragmentation. Fractions of cells showed low mitochondrial membrane potential and increased superoxide production after the combined treatment. Experiments using various caspase inhibitors and a fluorogenic monitor of caspase 3 activities indicated that caspase acts both up- and down-stream of mitochondria. CONCLUSIONS: AMVN is suggested to be a potential heat sensitizer effective at a lower concentration than AAPH. The possible mechanism is discussed.     

ATP-dependent para-aminohippurate transport by apical multidrug resistance protein MRP2

BACKGROUND: Para-aminohippurate (PAH), a widely used model substrate for organic anion transport in proximal tubule epithelia, was investigated as a substrate for the apical multidrug resistance protein MRP2 (symbol ABCC2). This ATP-dependent export pump for anionic conjugates and additional amphiphilic anions was cloned recently and localized to the apical membrane of proximal tubules in human and rat kidney. METHODS: Membrane vesicles from HEK-MRP2 cells containing recombinant human MRP2 and from control vector-transfected HEK-Co cells were incubated with various concentrations of [3H]PAH, and the net ATP-dependent transport into inside-out vesicles was determined. Comparative studies were performed with membrane vesicles containing recombinant human MRP1. RESULTS: Transport rates at 10 micromol/L PAH were 21.9 +/- 1.9 and 1.6 +/- 0.4 pmol x mg protein-1 x min-1 (means +/- SEM, N = 10) with membrane vesicles from HEK-MRP2 and HEK-Co cells, respectively. The Km value for PAH was 880 micromol/L. The high-affinity substrate leukotriene C4 and the inhibitor of MRP-mediated transport, MK571, inhibited MRP2-mediated transport of PAH (100 nmol/L) with IC50 values of 3.3 and 4.0 micromol/L, respectively. The nephrotoxic mycotoxin ochratoxin A inhibited MRP2-mediated PAH transport with an IC50 value of 58 micromol/L. Ochratoxin A was itself a substrate for MRP2. CONCLUSIONS: PAH is a good substrate for the ATP-dependent export pump MRP2. The localization and function of MRP2 indicate that this unidirectional transport protein contributes to the secretion of PAH and other amphiphilic anions into the lumen of kidney proximal tubules.

鼻咽分泌物中β2微球蛋白测定的临床意义

To study its clinical significance, beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-MG) in nasopharyngeal secretion was examined using radioimmunoassasy methods in 73 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), 30 with chronic nasopharyngitis and 30 normal control subjects. In 31 NPC patients, the examination was repeated before and after radiotherapy. The average concentrations of beta 2-MG were 4.87 +/- 2.51 mg/L in NPC group, 1.05 +/- 0.64 mg/L in chronic nasopharygitis group, and 0.85 +/- 0.32 mg/L in the control. The beta 2-MG concentration was higher in the NPC patients than in both chronic pharyngitis patients and normal subjects (P < 0.01). The concentration was lowered down in NPC patients after radiotherapy, and remained high when the treatment failed to control the condition. It seems that beta 2-MG level in nasopharyngeal secretion is closely related to the prognosis and recurrence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.     

对41例儿童旋毛虫病的临床观察

为了解儿童旋毛虫病的临床特征，对１９９２～１９９５年就诊的４１例儿童旋毛虫病进行分析。结果表明，患儿来自河南６个地区，主要因食猪肉馅饺子、烤羊肉串或食涮猪肉而感染。冬季为本病的高发季节。患儿平均年龄为８．８岁，男女之比为２．７１。长期发热和嗜酸性粒细胞增多为本病的主要表现，仅少数患儿有肌痛、胃肠道症状和皮疹。眼睑水肿仅见于发病早期。血清学检查对诊断本病有重要意义。预防本病的关键措施是加强肉检和改变不良的饮食习惯。
