Research Progress of Multi-target CAR-T Cell Therapy for Cancer / 肿瘤防治研究

Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) is a kind of adoptive cell immunotherapy, in which T cells are genetically modified to exert targeted killing effect on tumors. CAR-T cell therapy has shown remarkable antitumor efficacy for the treatment of tumors, especially for hematological malignancies, but is less effective in solid tumors. Single-target CAR-T is prone to off-target effect during application, and there is a risk of relapse or more refractory treatment. The development of double-target or multi-target CAR-T is expected to extend the antigen coverage of target cells, effectively avoids antigen escape and prevents tumor recurrence, and prolongs the survival time of patients. This article reviews the advances of multi-target chimeric antigen receptor T cell, and discusses the prospect of its development.

The comparison of bacterial resistance surveillance between sterile body fluid and non-sterile body fluid / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To compare the distribution and drug resistance of isolates between sterile body fluid and non‐sterile body fluid in the hospital in 2014 .Methods By adopting the retrospective analysis method ,we used BD phoenixTM 100 to conduct bacteria identification and drug susceptibility testing ,the Whonet5 .6 software and SPSS19 .0 software to statistically analysize the drug re‐sistance of the bacteria .Results E .coli ranked the top in sterile body fluid isolates(43% ) while the highest rate in non‐sterile body fluid was P .aeruginosa .E .coli(21% ) .Isolates from sterile body fluid had lower drug resistance rate to 11 kinds of antibacterials such as ampicillin ,chloramphenicol ,ciprofloxacin and aztreonam than the strains isolated from non‐sterile body fluid(P<0 .05) .S . aureus ,isolated from sterile body fluid ,had lower drug resistance rate to 6 kinds of antibacterials such as amikacin ,amoxicillin/cla‐vulanicacid ,ciprofloxacin than the strains isolated from non‐sterile body fluid .P .aeruginosa ,isolated from sterile body fluid ,had lower drug resistance rate to aztreonam than the srains isolated from non‐sterile body fluid .K .pneumoniae ,isolated from sterile body fluid ,had lower drug resistance rate to 6 kinds of antibacterials such as ampicillin/sulbactam ,sulfamethoxazole ,chlorampheni‐col than the strains isolated from non‐sterile body fluid(P<0 .05) .Conclusion There is significant difference between sterile body fluid and sterile body fluid in strain distribution and drug resistance ,so it is vital to enhance the bacterial resistance surveillance of sterile body fluid .

Research progress of in vivo animal models of prostate cancer / 中国实验动物学报

Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in men and related studies have achieved great breakthrough in recent years.But because of the lack of effective in vivo animal models, the process to translate basic research into clinical application has been severely hampered.Patient derived prostate tumor xenograft ( PDPTX) model is an ideal animal model in which freshly isolated tumor tissues from patients were inoculated into immunodeficient mice.This model can duplicate the heterogeneity of primary tumor in a better way and keep the tumor complexity at molecular, genetic and pathological levels.Particularly, the PDPTX model, in which the isolated tumor tissue is inoculated under the renal capsule, is even better, because it solves the clrawbacks of traditional subcutaneous inoculation model.In traditional mod-els, the success rate is low, it’s not easy for lower grade tumor to form xenograft, and it’s not easy to reconstruct metasta-sis, etc.PDPTX provides a more ideal in vivo model for prostate cancer studies.It has irreplaceable advantages, especially in target therapy, new drug screening and individualized tumor treatment.
