ABSTRACT

Purpose To investigate the prevalence of EG-FR mutation in circulating cell-free DNA in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients of Yunnan province and its relationship with clinical pathological characteristics,which can provide foundations for individualized targeted therapy of lung cancer in this area.Methods Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) was used to detect the EGFR exon 18,19,20 and 21 mutation in circulating cell-free DNA.The relationship between EGFR mutation and clinical characteristics were further analyzed.Results 93 patients (25.5%) harbored circulating EG-FR mutations among 364 patients.The mutation rates of EGFR 18 G719X,19del,20 S768I,T790M,20ins were 3.2% (3/93),2.2% (2/93)and3.2% (3/93)respectively.EGFR21 L858R and L861Q mutation rates were 26.9% (25/93) and 1.1% (1/93),respectively.Three patients (3.2%,3/93)harbored G719X + S768I double mutation,four patients (4.3%,4/93) harbored 19Del + T790M mutations.19Del +L858R,L858R + S768I,and S768I + T790M mutation rates were 1.1% (1/93),1.1% (1/93) and 2.2% (2/93) respectively.Conclusion The EGFR mutation rate of female and adenocarcinoma patients is higher in patients with stage Ⅲ B-ⅣNSCLC in Yunnan area.19Del is the major mutation type and double exon mutation is an obvious characteristic in NSCLC patients of Yunnan province.EGFR mutation detection in circulating cell-free DNA by ARMS method is feasible to screen patients receiving EGFR-TKIs treatment.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze the infection of human parvovirus B19, human bocavirus (HBoV) and human parvovirus 4 (PARV4) in blood samples among patients with liver disease in Nanjing by molecular detection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Nested PCR assays were designed and validated to detect B19, HBoV and PARV4, respectively. The assays were used to screen three parvoviruses in blood samples from 95 patients with different liver disease in Nanjing. The parvovirus infection was analyzed statistically.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The detection limits were 10 copies of genomic DNA equivalents per reaction for each assays and the good specificity were observed. The frequency of B19 and HBoV were 2/95 (2.1%) and 9/95 (9.5%) in blood samples respectively. No PARV4 was detected. HBoV was detected in 3/5 patients with drug-induced hepatitis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Both B19 and HBoV infection were detected in blood from patients with liver disease.</p>

ABSTRACT

A transient four-plasmid cotransfection system was used to construct avian influenza A (H5N1) pseudotyped viral particle (H5N1Pp) by incorporating hemagglutinin (HA) protein and neuraminidase (NA) protein from H5N1 avian influenza virus onto Murine leukemia virus pseudotyped viral particles, the transmission electron microscopy, infectivity titer assay, hemagglutination assay, neutralization assay of H5N1Pp were studied. We established a pseudotyped H5N1 viral particle at a high titer of 10(8) Pp/mL, the morphology,the hemagglutination activity and neutralization specificity of H5N1Pp is simililar to wild H5N1 virus. The research result sets a platform for studying this virus, including its receptors, the functional analysis of HA and NA, neutralizing antibodies and anti-H5N1 drug development.

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the correlation of radiation pneumonitis (RP) with standardized uptake value (SUV) for fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) in lung cancer patients treated with radiation therapy.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fourty patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) received FDG PET-CT before and after radiotherapy. The average SUV of the lung tissue irradiated with a dose of < or = 5 Gy, 5.1 approximately 15 Gy, 15.1 approximately 35 Gy, 35.1 approximately 60 Gy, >60 Gy were measured. The correlation between SUV and RP was analyzed by comparing the SUV in the patients with RP and without. The SUV ratio of the irradiated lung tissue to that of the non-irradiated lung tissue (L/B) was also calculated.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Of the 40 patients, 8 developed RP, including 6 cases of grade 2 and 2 cases of grade 3. The SUV of irradiated lung tissues with a dose of 35.1 approximately 60 Gy was significantly correlated with RP. When SUV > or =1, the RP incidence rate was 41.7% versus 20.0% in the whole group, with a statistically significant difference. (chi2 = 3.96, P < 0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of SUV in predicting RP was 62.5% and 78.1%, respectively. When the value of L/B > or = 2.5, the RP incidence rate was 40.7% in this group versus 20.0% in the whole group, with a statistical significance (chi(2) = 4.92, P < 0.05). If taking L/B > or = 2.5 as a threshold value, the sensitivity and specificity in predicting RP was 72.7% and 90.9%, respectively. No statistically significant difference was found in predicting radiation pneumonitis between SUV > or =1 and L/B > or = 2.5 (chi2 = 0.002, P > 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The standardized uptake value (SUV) and the SUV ratio of the irradiated lung tissue to that of the non-irradiated lung tissue (L/B) for FDG PET-CT are positively correlated with radiation pneumonitis, and clinicians may use it to predict the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis.</p>

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of nifedipine of therapeutic dosage on the plasma membrane functional integrity and osmosensitive calcium influx in human sperm in vitro.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Sperm samples were aseptically obtained from 10 healthy fertile men by masturbation and prepared by swim-up technique to produce a spermatozoal solution of high motility. The solution was then incubated with nifedipine of 20, 100 and 20 x 10(3) ng/ml respectively at 37 degrees C in vitro. The hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) test was done to assess the sperm function. Intracellular calcium concentration was measured by fluorescent probe fura-2/AM before and after sperm medium dilution in distilled water.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The 20 x 103 ng/ml group showed significantly lower HOS scores than the control (P < 0.01). The 20, 100 and 20 x 10(3) ng/ml groups all showed significantly lower Ca2+ fluorescence D-value than the control (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Nifedipine can modify plasma membrane functional integrity and inhibit osmosensitive calcium influx in human sperm and affect male fertility in vitro in therapeutic dose.</p>
