Studies on Toxicity of Nitroquine-Dapsone Compound and Therapeutic Effects of Folic or Folinic Acid on Toxicated Animals

The toxic effects of nitroquine-dapsone compound(NQD)in mice and dogs were studied.The therapeutic index of NQDin mice is 1911,the greatest among the 6 antimalarials tested.Thetoxic effects of NQD(50 mg/kg/day for 3 days per os)and nitro-quine in dogs were manifested by injuries on the adrenal cortexand intestinal epithelium.When folic acid(4 mg/kg/day for 4 days)or calcium leucovorinum(0.3 mg/kg/day for 4 days)were usedconcomitantly with NQD,the death rate and the incidence of dia-rrhea in the toxicated dogs were greatly reduced,the injury on theintestinal epithelium was much milder,and the goblet cells weremuch more numerous than those without treatment.The results suggestthat folic acid and calcium leucovorinum can protect the undifferen-tiated cells in the intestinal crypts from being injured by NQD.     

江汉平原鼠间流行性出血热感染研究

为了解湖北省江汉平原流行性出血热（ＥＨＦ）疫区鼠间感染状况，采用挖洞法捕鼠，鉴定鼠种、性别和年龄，检查有无皮肤破伤，检测ＥＨＦＶ抗原抗体。结果，黑线姬鼠和褐家鼠占所捕鼠的６９．７％和２３．６％，其ＥＨＦＶ感染率分别为２１．８％和３０．９％。鼠间ＥＨＦＶ感染，成年鼠显著高于亚成年鼠和幼年鼠，感染率分别为４０．８％、１７．０％和１２．４％；皮肤破伤鼠感染率４５．９％，显著高于非皮肤破伤鼠的１３．９％。感染鼠以窝为单位具有明显的窝聚集性，而感染鼠窝在地理空间上则随机分布。感染鼠血清分型，黑线姬鼠以野鼠型为主，少数为未定型；褐家鼠以家鼠型为主，亦有少数未定型。这表明，江汉平原ＥＨＦ疫区是以黑线姬鼠和褐家鼠为主要宿主动物的家野混合型疫区；年龄、皮肤破伤和密切接触是该疫区鼠间ＥＨＦＶ传播的重要因素。     

人前列腺癌细胞PC-3M亚系u-PAR基因与蛋白质表达

为研究与人前列腺癌细胞（PC-3M）侵袭能力相关的靶分子，采用有限稀释法分离单克隆细胞株，并应用单层细胞侵袭等实验鉴定各亚系的体外侵袭能力；借助RT-PCR和免疫组化的方法，分别在转录和翻译水平检测5株侵袭能力不同的PC-3M亚系尿激酶型纤溶酶原激活物受体（u-PAR)的表达。结果显示，高侵袭亚系-u-PAR基因mRNA的表达和蛋白质水平均明显高于低侵袭亚系，提示；PC-3M亚系u-PAR的高表达与其较强的侵袭能力密切相关，而u-PAR可能是抑制高侵袭亚系侵袭效应的一个重要靶分子。

Gingival crevicular fluid levels of SLIT3 are increased in periodontal disease

This study aims to investigate the levels of SLIT3 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of healthy and periodontal disease subjects, and their correlations to periodontal disease. A total of 45 periodontal patients and 45 periodontally healthy volunteers were enrolled. The clinical parameters, radiographic bone loss and the levels of SLIT3, receptor activator of NF‐κB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in GCF were measured. The prevalences of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia in subgingival plaque were also analyzed. The expression of SLIT3 and RANKL was detected in the periodontium of experimental periodontitis in rats and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced mouse macrophage. The total amounts and concentrations of SLIT3 and RANKL were significantly higher in periodontitis than those in healthy, while the level of OPG was significantly lower (p < .05). Significant positive correlations were observed between the level of GCF SLIT3 and clinical attachment level and radiographic bone loss (p < .05). There existed a significant positive correlation between SLIT3 and RANKL (p < .05). Increased expression of SLIT3 and RANKL was observed in the periodontium of periodontal rats. SLIT3 expression was induced by LPS stimulation in macrophages. These results suggest that SLIT3 may act as a diagnostic indicator of periodontal disease and should be further investigated.     

Association between tumor necrosis factor-α gene polymorphisms and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in Chinese Han population: evidence from two center case-control study and a meta-analysis

Objectives: The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) gene, which plays crucial roles in tumorigenesis, is reported to be an independent marker for cancer. This study aims to examine the association between the TNF-α G308A polymorphism and DLBCL risk based on the two center case-control studies and meta-analysis. Methods: In the current study, we performed a two centers case-control study to investigate the effect of the TNF-α G308A polymorphism on DLBCL risk in Chinese Han population. A meta-analysis including 10 published datasets along with current dataset, including 111 comparisons containing 34,041 cases and 42,730 controls were enrolled, was next performed to further confirm the association after literature search was conducted and relevant studies were identified from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. Results: The TNF-α -308A allele was associated with a significantly increased DLBCL risk in the two independent patient case-control studies and additionally for pooled analysis from the two sets (P<0.05 for both). The result of meta-analysis further demonstrated that the A allele of -308A was significantly correlated with DLBCL risk under the allelic model (OR=1.35, 95% CI=1.27-1.44) without heterogeneity by fixed-effects model analysis (Q=17.30, P=0.139). Moreover, sensitivity analysis supported the robustness of this meta-analysis. Conclusion: This study suggested that -308A polymorphism may be associated with the susceptibility of DLBCL in a Chinese population. The further meta-analysis provides additional evidence supporting the above result that the risk allele of the -308A polymorphism may increase DLBCL risk.     

胃癌原发灶不同区域HER2的表达及其临床意义

目的 探讨胃癌手术标本不同区域人类表皮生长因子受体2（HER2）的异质性及其临床意义,分析原发灶HER2表达与胃癌临床病理特征的关系。方法 收集2004至2012年胃癌根治手术标本70例,采用免疫组织化学（IHC）对每例胃癌3个不同区域的组织蜡块进行HER2蛋白表达检测,利用荧光原位杂交（FISH）检测HER2蛋白为2+的所有组织蜡块,参照2011年版的《胃癌HER2检测指南》中的判读标准将检测结果进行比较。结果70例胃癌手术标本3个不同区域HER2有差异表达11例（4例1+,4例2+,3例3+）,无差异表达59例（56例0,1例2+,2例3+）,结合FISH检测结果,HER2表达分别为63.6%（7/11）与5.1%（3/59）,两者比较差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）;胃癌HER2表达与肿瘤Lauren分型及分化程度有关（均P＜0.05）。结论胃癌原发灶不同区域HER2表达存在明显异质性,多区域取材检测有助于全面可靠评估HER2表达,对于FISH检测无基因扩增的HER2蛋白为2+的患者应选取肿瘤其他部位再次进行FISH检测。     

Klotho与心血管疾病的关系及其生物学机制

Klotho是重要的内源性多效蛋白,参与衰老和钙磷代谢等病理生理过程,与心血管疾病密切相关。近期的临床研究发现低水平的Klotho与更多的心血管危险因素关联,并能预测心血管疾病的发病风险和不良预后;基础研究也表明Klotho在维持血管稳态和正常心功能中发挥了至关重要的作用。Klotho可以促进一氧化氮(NO)的生成,抑制炎症因子和黏附分子的表达,介导抗氧化、抗凋亡、抗衰老的生物学效应,延缓动脉粥样硬化及血管钙化,并抑制心肌肥厚和纤维化。Klotho或可作为一个新的干预靶点,为心血管疾病的防治提供新的思路。文章就Klotho与心血管疾病的关系及其潜在的生物学机制做一综述。     

接受选择性淋巴结照射的食管鳞癌患者预后和失败模式的分析

目的探讨接受选择性淋巴结照射(ENI)的食管鳞癌患者预后和失败模式。方法回顾性分析2005年1月至2012年12月河北医科大学第四医院收治的179例符合入组条件的食管鳞癌患者,分析肿瘤局部相关因素预测患者预后的价值,分析影响患者近期疗效、预后的影响因素,并对影响患者总生存率(OS)、无进展生存率(PFS)和复发的指标分别进行单因素和多因素分析。结果全组患者1、3、5年OS和PFS分别为77.1%、40.1%、26.0%和62.6%、30.6%、20.3%。多因素分析结果显示声音嘶哑、cN分期、cTNM分期、GTV-横径(GTV-D)和GTV-体积/长度(GTV-V/L)为影响患者OS的独立性影响因素(P<0.05);声音嘶哑、cTNM分期和近期疗效为影响患者PFS的独立性影响因素(P<0.05)。全组有75例(41.9%)患者出现复发,61例(34.1%)远处转移,其中19例(10.6%)为合并复发和远处转移。75例复发患者中64例(85.3%)患者为单纯食管复发,4例(5.3%)为单纯淋巴结复发,另7例(9.3%)患者为食管合并淋巴结复发。治疗后达完全缓解(CR)的63例患者中有18例患者出现复发,其中仅有2例患者出现淋巴结复发;logistic多因素分析结果显示患者周边组织/器官受侵、GTV-D和近期疗效为影响患者复发的独立性影响因素(P<0.05)。结论食管鳞癌患者接受ENI确实可行,其失败主要模式仍为食管复发;治疗前声音嘶哑、GTV-D和GTV-V/L较大、临床分期较晚和近期疗效不佳为患者预后较差的指标;肿瘤周边组织受侵、GTV-D和近期疗效是影响患者失败的独立性因素。
