ABSTRACT
As the third generation platinum antitumor drug with independent intellectual property rights,a number of basic and clinical research shows lobaplatin can effectively inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer cell lines including triple-negative breast cancer in vivo.Compared with the cisplatinbased regimens,lobaplatin-based regimens have similar efficacy,and better safety profile.It becomes the new treatment option of metastatic breast cancer,and remains to be further study to optimize clinical rational drug use.
ABSTRACT
Objective Recent.studies have found a strong association of insulin resistance, which might occur during ischemia reperfusion in vitro in the experimental dogs, with disturbed function of cardiomyocytes. Obvious acute insulin resistance, along with glucose dysmetabolism in the reperfused cardiomyocytes, was furher observed in the study performed with ischemia-reperfused ventric- ular myocytes of rats. We tried to investigate preliminarily the molecular mechanisms of insulin resistance in the cardiomyocytes after ischemia reperfusion. Methods An experimental model of insulin-stimulated ischemia reperfusion (SI/R) was created by isolating cardiomyocytes from adult rats. Glucose uptake of the cardiomyoctyes was evaluated with isotope-labeling technique. Glucose trans- porter 4 (GLUT4) translocation induced by insulin was investigated with Western blot analysis, and the intracellular level of free Ca2+ ([Ca2+]I) was measured quantitatively with Ca2+ indicator Fura-2. Results Insulin can stimulated glucose uptake by cardiomyo- cytes, indicating that these cells were insulin-sensitive. Cardiomyocytes were demonstrated notable acute insulin resistmce during reperfusion. Insulin-stimulated GLUT4 translocation in the cardiomyocytes 15 minutes after reperfusion was 72.2% of that in the con- trol group(P<0.05), in which the GLUT4 content in plasma membrane remained unchanged. The finding suggested that a disturbed GLUT4 translocation might happen in the cardiomyocytes during insulin-stimulated ischemia-reperfusion. Calcium overload was identi- fied in the cardiomyocytes with ischemia reperfusion. At 15 minutes of reperfusion, [Ca2+]I was significantly higher in the reperfused cardiomyocytes than that in the control cardiomyocytes[(318.66±23.06)vs(130.70±0.82) nmol/L, P<0.05], and kept at a higher level [(177.79±17.46) nmol/L] at 60 minutes of reperfusion (P<0.05, vs control). Partial correlation analysis revealed a negative correlation of[Ca2+]I with insulin-induced ghcose uptake in the cardiomyoctyes (r = -0.557,P=0.006). Conclusion Disturbed GLUT4 translocation and decreased intrinsic activity may be important molecular mechanisms for the development of insulin resistance in the cardiomyocytes of rat during insulin-simulated ischemia reperfusion,. [Ca2+]I overload may account for the de- creased intrinsic activity d GLUT4.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between perioperative serum thyroid hormone changes and heart dysfunction in patients undergone cardiac valve replacement. Methods The serum concentrations of free tri- iodothyronine (),free thyroxine (),total total reverse and thyroid-stimulating hor- mone (TSH) in 20 patients undergone routine rheumatic mitral valve replacement were determined by radioim- munoassay at preoperation, the end of myocardial ischemia, and 2,6,12,24 and 48h postoperation, respectively. The alteration hormones above mentioned were comparatively analysed of the normal heart function group (group I,n = 14) and heart dysfunction group (group I ,n=6) after surgery. ResultsIn comparing group I with group I , the more severe the chronic congestive heart failure, the lower the thyroid hormone level before operation;and subse- quently both progressively lowered T3 level and acute heart dysfunction emerged after operation. The decreased extent of serum thyroid hormone was closely parallel to the severity of heart dysfunction. GonclusionPerioperatively, de- creased serum FT3 and TT3 concentrations are at least an important humoral factor aggravating heart dysfunction, and the patients with preoperative low T3 should be considered as high-risk valvular surgical cases.
