乳腺癌21基因检测的研究进展

乳腺癌是一类具有异质性的肿瘤，不同患者的治疗方法和疗效都不相同。尽管目前仍在努力为激素受体（hormone receptor，HR）阳性（+）、人表皮生长因子受体2（human epidermal growth factor receptor 2,HER-2）阴性（-）、淋巴结（axillary lymph node，ALN）阴性（-）的早期乳腺癌患者寻找合适的治疗方法，但其术后是否需要化疗仍然是肿瘤科医生面临的一个难题。以往治疗主要依赖于经典的组织病理学和免疫组织化学技术，随着精准医疗时代的到来，我们需要更定量的诊断方法和合理的个体化治疗。虽然化疗可降低疾病复发风险并提高生存率，但它带来的不良反应事件会降低患者的生活质量，尤其低复发风险（recurrence risk,RS)有可能超过化疗益处。21基因检测不仅可以预测这类早期乳腺癌化疗疗效及评估预后，还可提供精准的个体化治疗方案指导用药，为患者增添信心。本文就乳腺癌21基因检测的研究进展进行综述。     

Studies on the chemical constituents of the roots of Rhododendron molle G. don

Summary The compounds from the root ofRhododendron molle G. Don were isolated, purified by various chromatographic techniques, and their structures were identified according to the physical and chemical features and spectral data. Three compounds were separated from the root ofRhododendron molle G. Don and identified as Rhodojaponin-III,taraxerol, β-sitosterol for the first time.

The synthesis and antiallergy activity of 1-(aryloxy)-4-(4-arylpiperazinyl)-2-butanol derivatives

A series of 1-(aryloxy)-4-(4-arylpiperazinyl)-2-butanol derivatives were prepared and evaluated for antiallergy activity in the passive foot anaphylaxis (PFA) assay in rats. Twenty-seven derivatives had activity equal to or greater than the parent, alpha-(phenoxymethyl)-4-phenyl-1-piperazinepropanol. Six derivatives that possessed greater activity in the PFA than the parent compound were then tested in the guinea pig anaphylaxis (GPA) assay. Five of the derivatives were more potent than the parent (PD50 = 40 mg/kg) in the GPA with alpha-[(4-fluorophenoxy)methyl]-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-piperazinepropan ol (PD50 = 3 mg/kg) having the greatest potency.     

应用心肌分层应变及做功技术评估长期腹膜透析尿毒症患者左心室功能

［摘要］目的： 利用心肌分层应变及心肌做功技术对长期腹膜透析的尿毒症患者的左心室功能进行研究,评估其在长期腹膜透析下的心功能变化。方法: 选择长期规律进行腹膜透析且经常规超声心动图检查提示左心室射血分数(left ventricular ejection fraction,LVEF)正常的尿毒症患者14例,测量其常规二维超声心动图参数,利用二维斑点追踪及心肌分层应变技术测量左心室整体纵向收缩期峰值应变(global longitudinal peak systolic strain,GLS)及内膜层、肌层和心外膜层3层心肌的纵向收缩期峰值应变(longitudinal peak systolic strain,LS),并结合血压得出左心室心肌整体做功参数,共同评估左心室心肌功能,随访5年并比较腹膜透析5年前后相关数据变化。结果: 规律腹膜透析5年后,尿毒症患者LVEF改变无统计学差异;GLS在四腔心切面明显减低(P=0.018),并从心内膜减低至心外膜(LS心内膜层 P=0.029,LS肌层 P=0.017,LS心外膜层 P=0.004);心肌整体做功参数以整体无用功(GWW)升高为主(P=0.048),整体有用功(GCW)、整体做功指数(GWI)及整体做功效率(GWE)无统计学差异。结论: 长期规律腹膜透析5年的尿毒症患者,其左心室整体心肌功能尚保持稳定,但局部心肌收缩功能进一步受损,主要体现在后间隔和侧壁的各层心肌,心肌做功以GWW升高为主。     

Increasing Egg Consumption at Breakfast Is Associated with Increased Usual Nutrient Intakes: A Modeling Analysis Using NHANES and the USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program School Breakfast Guidelines

The objective of the current modeling analysis was three-fold: (1) to examine usual nutrient intakes in children when eggs are added into dietary patterns that typically do not contain eggs; (2) to examine usual nutrient intakes with the addition of eggs in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) school breakfast; and (3) to examine nutrient adequacy when eggs are included in routine breakfast patterns and with the addition of eggs to the CACFP school breakfast program. Dietary recall data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2016 (children aged 1–18 years-old; n = 9254; CACFP n = 159) were used in the analysis. The usual intakes of pantothenic acid, riboflavin, selenium, and vitamin D increased ≥10 percent (relative to the baseline values) with the addition of one egg at breakfast. The usual intakes of protein and vitamin A at breakfast were also increased by more than 10 percent compared to the baseline values with the addition of two eggs. Similar outcomes were observed with the addition of eggs to the CACFP school breakfast. The percent of children above the adequate intake for total choline increased to 43.6 and 57.8% with one and two eggs, respectively, compared to 22.6% at the baseline. The addition of eggs at breakfast can contribute to nutrient intakes and overall dietary adequacy and play a role in public health initiatives aimed at increasing the intake of under-consumed nutrients and nutrients of concern.     

黄芪抗肿瘤药理作用机制与临床应用研究进展

扶正、祛邪是中医治疗肿瘤的两大治则。近年来免疫治疗在肿瘤领域中取得了突破性进展,与中医“养正积自除”的理念有异曲同工之处。黄芪是扶正类的代表药物,有扶正祛邪、利水消肿、活血通络之效,被广泛应用于肿瘤疾病的治疗。黄芪主要通过黄芪多糖、黄芪皂苷等活性成分发挥抗肿瘤作用,其作用机制包括增强机体免疫功能,诱导肿瘤细胞凋亡,干扰肿瘤细胞周期,抑制细胞增殖,抑制肿瘤细胞迁移、侵袭和血管生成,逆转肿瘤细胞耐药等。黄芪桂枝五物汤、黄芪建中汤、补中益气汤等以黄芪为主药的经方以及黄芪注射液、参芪扶正注射液、贞芪扶正胶囊、康艾注射液等中成药常被用来治疗肿瘤及其并发症。在肿瘤疾病的不同阶段、不同兼证中,黄芪的用量及配伍也常随之改变。     

Donor genetic variants as risk factors for thrombosis after liver transplantation: A genome-wide association study

Thrombosis after liver transplantation substantially impairs graft- and patient survival. Inevitably, heritable disorders of coagulation originating in the donor liver are transmitted by transplantation. We hypothesized that genetic variants in donor thrombophilia genes are associated with increased risk of posttransplant thrombosis. We genotyped 775 donors for adult recipients and 310 donors for pediatric recipients transplanted between 1993 and 2018. We determined the association between known donor thrombophilia gene variants and recipient posttransplant thrombosis. In addition, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and meta-analyzed 1085 liver transplantations. In our donor cohort, known thrombosis risk loci were not associated with posttransplant thrombosis, suggesting that it is unnecessary to exclude liver donors based on thrombosis-susceptible polymorphisms. By performing a meta-GWAS from children and adults, we identified 280 variants in 55 loci at suggestive genetic significance threshold. Downstream prioritization strategies identified biologically plausible candidate genes, among which were AK4 (rs11208611-T, p = 4.22 × 10⁻⁰⁵) which encodes a protein that regulates cellular ATP levels and concurrent activation of AMPK and mTOR, and RGS5 (rs10917696-C, p = 2.62 × 10⁻⁰⁵) which is involved in vascular development. We provide evidence that common genetic variants in the donor, but not previously known thrombophilia-related variants, are associated with increased risk of thrombosis after liver transplantation.
