As2O3处理前后K562细胞基因表达变化的基因芯片检测

目的应用基因芯片研究三氧化二砷(As2O3)处理前后K562细胞基因表达的变化.方法提取As2O3处理前后K562细胞的总RNA,纯化为mRNA后再反转录为cDNA.cDNA经限制性内切酶Sau3AI切割后,cDNA片段分别用Cy3和Cy5标记,与自制的包含348个基因片段的胎盘库芯片杂交.结果杂交结果经扫描和软件分析,发现了11个差异表达的基因片段,其中有3个基因片段与细胞凋亡密切相关.结论我们构建的胎盘库基因芯片可以成功地用于研究药物作用前后基因表达的变化.     

南岳毛尖抑制小鼠移植性S_(180)生长作用的初步研究

本研究用南岳毛尖(一级绿茶)浸泡液灌胃处理皮下移植S_(180)的Babl/c小白鼠,观察其抑瘤效果。结果表明该绿茶可明显抑制肿瘤的生长,瘤重明显轻于对照组(P<0.05);空泡变性瘤细胞数、瘤块内坏死灶数明显多于对照组(P<0.001);瘤细胞核分裂数明显少于对照组(P<0.005),对瘤细胞有较好的杀灭作用。该研究证明南岳毛尖是一种天然防癌抗癌物质,对干预肿瘤的发生和发展有重要意义。     

Therapeutic Evaluation on Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Treated by Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine──Clinical Analysis of 56 Cases

Objective: In comparison with chemotherapy, to evaluate therapeutic effects on advanced pancreatic cancer treated by integrative Chinese and western medicine (ICWM) therapies. Methods: Based on the retrospective study of 56 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, life table was applied to the analysis of patients' survival rate and Xz test to the comparison of therapeutic response between ICWM and chemotherapy groups. Results: The results showed that 1-year survival rate in the ICWM group was 55. 37%±3.24%; 2-year survival rate 34. 61%±16. 31%; 3-year survival rate 25. 96%±24. 64%; 5-year survival rate 25. 96%±24.64%; and median survival period 16. 3 months. However 1-year survival rate in the chemotherapy group was 21. 95%±27. 54% ; 2-year survival rate 7. 31%±27. 54% ; 3-year survival rate 0 % ; and median survival period 7. 5 months. The therapeutic effects between two groups were significantly different (P=0. 004). Further analysis suggested that the reduction of cancer mass in the ICWM grou     

三氧化二砷持续区域肝动脉灌注治疗肝癌的临床研究

目的探讨三氧化二砷（As2O3）注射液单药连续区域动脉灌注化疗原发性肝癌的临床疗效。方法55例手术不能切除的非晚期原发性肝癌患者,随机分为两组：（1）As2O3治疗组26例：患者采用经股动脉肝动脉碘油栓塞后埋置皮下化疗泵,予以连续区域灌注As2O3化疗,20mg/d,每天1次,共7d,间隔4周重复,共5疗程。（2）对照组29例：采用经股动脉肝动脉栓塞化疗（TACE）,2次TACE15例,3次TACE14例。结果As2O3治疗组总有效率为34.6%（9/26）、肿瘤复发率为15.4%（4/26）、1年生存率为80.7%（21/26）;TACE组分别是31.0%（9/29）、37.9%（11/29）、51.7%（15/29）。统计学分析表明,两组的总有效率差异无统计学意义,P〉0.05;肿瘤复发率和1年生存率差异有统计学意义,P〈0.05。As2O3治疗组较对照组不良反应轻微,未见不可逆不良反应。结论经股动脉肝动脉碘油栓塞后埋置皮下化疗泵予以连续区域灌注As2O3化疗用于治疗原发性肝癌不良反应轻微、疗效确切,具有一定的临床应用前景。     

A multi-institutional survey of the quality of life after treatment for uterine cervical cancer: a comparison between radical radiotherapy and surgery in Japan

This study aimed to research the post-treatment quality of life (QOL) between radiotherapy (RT)- and operation (OP)-treated early cervical cancer survivors, using separate questionnaires for physicians and patients. We administered an observational questionnaire to patients aged 20–70 years old with Stages IB1–IIB cervical cancer who had undergone RT or OP and without recurrence as outpatients for ≥6 months after treatment. We divided 100 registered patients equally into two treatment groups (n = 50 each). The average age was 53 and 44 years in the RT and OP groups, respectively. The RT group included 34 and 66% Stage I and II patients, respectively, whereas the OP group included 66 and 34% Stage I and II patients, respectively. The OP group included 58% of patients with postoperative RT. Combination chemotherapy was performed in 84 and 48% of patients in the RT and OP groups, respectively. On the physicians’ questionnaire, we observed significant differences in bone marrow suppression (RT) and leg edema (OP). On the patients’ questionnaire, significantly more patients had dysuria and leg edema in the OP group than in the RT group, and severe (Score 4–5) leg edema was significantly higher in the post-operative RT group than in the OP only group. The frequency of sexual intercourse decreased after treatment in both groups. On the patients’ questionnaire, there were no significant differences between the two groups regarding sexual activity. These findings are useful to patients and physicians for shared decision-making in treatment choices. The guidance of everyday life and health information including sexual life after treatment is important.

Patterns of response and relapse in chemotherapy of extensive squamous carcinoma of the lung

Summary In a large study of combination chemotherapy for patients with extensive squamous carcinoma of the lung, 44 of 247 patients (18%) achieved>50% regression of tumor mass. The likelihood of response was significantly (and independently) higher for females and for fully ambulatory patients. Bone and liver were the most commonly involved metastatic sites, with documented involvement pretreatment in 32 and 16% of patients, respectively. Recurrence in the ipsilateral hemithorax after radiation therapy was the only clinical evidence of disease in 24% of the patients. There were no significant differences in response rate by individual metastatic sites, or for single compared to multiple sites. The median time to response was 4 weeks, with response noted by 8 weeks in 74%.Clinically evident relapse has occurred in 39. Among these, the primary site was the only clinical site of failure in 14, of whom 7 never received radiation therapy. The brain was the only site of initial failure in 6, only 1 of whom had preexisting evidence of brain involvement. Failure in a single area of previously evident disease or the brain accounted for 74% of recurrences in the responding group. These observations suggest that sequential, planned radiation therapy to sites of previous clinical involvement, together with prophylactic whole-brain radiation, may be of benefit in the drug-responsive subpopulation of patients with extensive disease.
