CD44基因多态性与宫颈癌及非小细胞肺癌的相关性

背景与目的：CD44分子是众多肿瘤细胞的标志分子，其表达水平与肿瘤细胞的恶性程度有关。该研究探讨CD44基因中的单核苷酸多态性（single nucleotide polymorphism，SNP）位点与云南汉族人群宫颈癌和非小细胞肺癌（nonsmall cell lung cancer，NSCLC）易感性的相关性。方法：选取了CD44基因中的两个SNP位点rs13347和rs8193，采用TagMan基因分型的方法，分析这两个多态性位点在497例宫颈癌患者和500例健康对照个体以及483例NSCLC患者和471例健康对照个体中的分布特征，并分析CD44基因中的多态性位点与云南汉族人群宫颈癌和NSCLC的相关性。结果：rs13347和rs8193位点等位基因和基因型在宫颈癌组和对照组中的分布频率的差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。而在NSCLC组和对照组的比较中：rs13347和rs8193位点等位基因在NSCLC组和对照组中的分布频率的差异有统计学意义（P=0.020和P=0.004）；这两个位点基因型在NSCLC组和对照组中分布频率的差异有统计学意义（P=0.027和P=0.020）；其中rs13347位点等位基因C在NSCLC组中的分布频率显著高于对照组，可能是NSCLC发生的风险因素（OR=1.250，95% CI：1.035～1.509），rs8193位点等位基因C在对照组中的分布频率显著高于NSCLC组，可能是NSCLC发生的保护性因素（OR=0.768，95%CI：0.641～0.921）。单倍型分析结果显示，rs13347C-rs8193T和rs13347T-rs8193C在NSCLC组和对照组中的分布频率差异有统计学意义（P=0.003和0.022）；该结果说明单倍型rs13347C-rs8193T可能是云南汉族人群NSCLC发生的风险性因素（OR=1.316，95%CI：1.096～1.579）。结论：CD44基因中的两个SNP位点rs13347和rs8193可能与云南汉族人群宫颈癌发病风险无关，而可能与云南汉族人群NSCLC具有相关性。     

Safety of Combined Yttrium-90 Radioembolization and Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Immunotherapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

PurposeTo investigate the safety of yttrium-90 radioembolization in combination with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Materials and MethodsThis single-center retrospective study included 26 consecutive patients with HCC who received checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy within 90 days of radioembolization from April 2015 to May 2018. Patients had preserved liver function (Child-Pugh scores A–B7) and either advanced HCC due to macrovascular invasion or limited extrahepatic disease (21 patients) or aggressive intermediate stage HCC that resulted in earlier incorporation of systemic immunotherapy (5 patients). Clinical documentation, laboratory results, and imaging results at 1- and 3-month follow-up intervals were reviewed to assess treatment-related adverse events and treatment responses.ResultsThe median follow-up period after radioembolization was 7.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.6–11.8). There were no early (30-day) mortality or grades 3/4 hepatobiliary or immunotherapy-related toxicities. Delayed grades 3/4 hepatobiliary toxicities (1–3 months) occurred in 2 patients in the setting of HCC disease progression. One patient developed pneumonitis. The median overall survival from first immunotherapy was 17.2 months (95% CI, 10.9–23.4). The median overall survival from first radioembolization was 16.5 months (95% CI, 6.6–26.4). From first radioembolization, time to tumor progression was 5.7 months (95% CI, 4.2–7.2), and progression-free survival was 5.7 months (95% CI, 4.3–7.1).ConclusionsRadioembolization combined with checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy in cases of HCC appears to be safe and causes limited treatment-related toxicity. Future prospective studies are needed to identify the optimal combination treatment protocols and evaluate the efficacy of combination therapy.     

肠道菌群与恶性肿瘤的研究进展

人类微生物群是由寄生在人体上皮屏障的细菌和其他微生物组成的，其中大部分位于肠道内，与宿主之间形成共生的关系。机体肠道微生物的组成虽然受到年龄、饮食、生活方式等因素的影响，但在正常生理情况下是相对稳定的。近年来，肠道菌群与恶性肿瘤的关系越来越受到重视。肠道菌群不但能够维持局部稳态，还能调节机体代谢、炎症和免疫等生理过程。有研究表明，微生物群，特别是肠道菌群能够显著调节机体对癌症治疗的反应性以及机体对毒副反应的敏感性。检查肠道菌群中各菌种之间的比例可作为筛查恶性肿瘤的新方法。本文将综述微生物群具有影响肿瘤的发生发展、抗肿瘤治疗疗效以及药物不良反应的证据，以及其中所涉及的微生物种类，从而为恶性肿瘤精准治疗提供证据。     

中医药调控IL-1治疗肿瘤机制的研究进展

炎症已成为影响肿瘤细胞增殖转移的第七大因素,而白细胞介素-1(IL-1)是炎性微环境的重要因子之一。中医药在治疗肿瘤时具有多途径、多靶点的优势,同时炎性微环境致病特点与现代中医学"癌毒"的理论相吻合。查阅近年中医药调控IL-1家族分子治疗肿瘤机制的文献,对其进行梳理,并做出概括及评价,从中医药主要调控IL-1α、IL-1β和IL-18因子治疗肿瘤展开综述,为中医药更系统化治疗肿瘤提供参考。

乳腺炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤的研究进展

炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤（inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor，IMT）作为一种低度恶性潜能的间叶组织来源的肿瘤，病因及发病机制不明。主要见于儿童和青少年,最常见的部位是肺、肠系膜、网膜，发生于乳腺的比较罕见，且往往单发。乳腺炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤的临床症状及影像学特点均不典型，术前易造成误诊，本文复习国内外文献报道的乳腺炎性肌纤维母细胞瘤，从发病机制、临床表现、影像学特征、病理学特征、鉴别诊断、治疗及预后等方面作一系统综述。     

原发癌灶定位与甲状腺微小癌颈侧区淋巴结转移关系研究

目的 探究原发灶定位与甲状腺乳头状微小癌（PTMC）颈侧区淋巴结转移的关系，评估超声检查预测颈侧区淋巴结转移的准确率。方法 回顾性分析2014年1月至2015年12月天津医科大学肿瘤医院收治的134例PTMC病人的临床资料，均行中央区淋巴结清扫+改良颈侧区淋巴结清扫。依据超声定位分组，分析癌灶位置与颈侧区淋巴结转移的关系。结果 颈侧各分区淋巴结转移发生率分别为：Ⅱ区30.6%、Ⅲ区50.7%、Ⅳ区57.5%、Ⅴ区11.3%。癌灶位于中上极者颈侧区淋巴结转移发生率高于癌灶位于下极者（89.7% vs. 75.7%，P=0.038），靠近外侧者较内侧者更易出现颈侧区淋巴结转移（93.7% vs. 81.4%，P=0.049）。超声检查判定Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ区淋巴结转移的敏感度分别为43.9%、85.3%、85.7%、14.3%；特异度为91.4%、57.6%、35.1%、99.1%。超声预测Ⅲ、Ⅳ区淋巴结转移敏感度较高，Ⅱ、Ⅴ区淋巴结转移特异度较高。结论 癌灶位置与甲状腺微小癌颈侧区淋巴结转移密切相关，超声可为临床确定颈侧区淋巴结的清扫范围提供依据。     

Oligometastatic prostate cancer: Reality or figment of imagination?

The term “oligometastatic prostate cancer” refers to a heterogeneous group of disease states currently defined solely on the basis of clinical features. Oligorecurrent disease, de novo oligometastases, and oligoprogressive disease likely have unique biologic underpinnings and natural histories. Evidence suggesting the existence of a subset of patients who harbor prostate cancer with limited metastatic potential currently includes disparate and overwhelmingly retrospective reports. Nevertheless, emerging prospective data have corroborated the “better-than-expected,” retrospectively observed outcomes, particularly in the setting of oligorecurrent prostate cancer. Improved functional imaging with prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeted strategies may enhance the identification of patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer in the short term. In the long term, refinement of the oligometastatic case definition likely will require biologic risk-stratification schemes. To determine optimal treatment strategies and identify patients most likely to benefit from metastasis-directed therapy, future efforts should focus on conducting high-quality, prospective trials with much-needed molecular correlative studies.
