Development in the last 20 years of anti-HER2 targeted therapy for breast cancer / 中华外科杂志

Since trastuzumab was listed and approved for breast cancer in 2002, China has entered a new epoch of targeted therapy. Over the past 20 years, anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) targeted therapy for breast cancer in China has experienced the era of single-target, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, double-target and anti-HER2 plus antibody-drug conjugate. Advancement in the anti-HER2 targeted therapy is continuously changing the treatment mode of patients with HER2 positive status and even HER2 low expression, significantly improved their prognosis. In the past 20 years, Chinese scholars have participated in international clinical researches, completed a series of registration studies of imported drugs, developed new drugs with proprietary intellectual property rights, enriched the evidence of clinical research on HER2-targeted therapy, and formed a treatment system with both international standards and Chinese characteristics. In particular, the formulation of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Guidelines and the Chinese expert consensus on anti-HER2 targeted treatment in breast cancer are the concentrated embodiments of Chinese wisdom.

A real-world study on the efficacy and safety analysis of paclitaxel liposome in advanced breast cancer / 中华肿瘤杂志

Objective: To explore the application and efficacy of paclitaxel liposome in the treatment of advanced breast cancer among Chinese population in the real world. Methods: The clinical characteristics of patients with advanced breast cancer who received paclitaxel liposome as salvage treatment from January 1, 2016 to August 31, 2019 in 11 hospitals were collected and retrospectively analyzed. The primary outcome was progression free survival (PFS), and the secondary outcome included objective response rate (ORR) and safety. The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier analysis and the Cox regression model were used for the multivariate analysis. Results: Among 647 patients with advanced breast cancer who received paclitaxel liposome, the first-line treatment accounted for 43.3% (280/647), the second-line treatment accounted for 27.7% (179/647), and the third-line and above treatment accounted for 29.1% (188/647). The median dose of first-line and second-line treatment was 260 mg per cycle, and 240 mg in third line and above treatment. The median period of paclitaxel liposome alone and combined chemotherapy or targeted therapy is 4 cycles and 6 cycles, respectively. In the whole group, 167 patients (25.8%) were treated with paclitaxel liposome combined with capecitabine±trastuzumab (TX±H), 123 patients (19.0%) were treated with paclitaxel liposome alone (T), and 119 patients (18.4%) were treated with paclitaxel liposome combined with platinum ± trastuzumab (TP±H), 108 patients (16.7%) were treated with paclitaxel liposome combined with trastuzumab ± pertuzumab (TH±P). The median PFS of first-line and second-line patients (5.5 and 5.5 months, respectively) were longer than that of patients treated with third line and above (4.9 months, P<0.05); The ORR of the first line, second line, third line and above patients were 46.7%, 36.8% and 28.2%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that event-free survival (EFS) and the number of treatment lines were independent prognostic factors for PFS. The common adverse events were myelosuppression, gastrointestinal reactions, hand foot syndrome and abnormal liver function. Conclusion: Paclitaxel liposomes is widely used and has promising efficacy in multi-subtype advanced breast cancer.

The protective effects and underlying mechanisms of dapagliflozin on diabetes-induced testicular dysfunction / 亚洲男科学杂志(英文版)

Male diabetic individuals present a marked impairment in fertility; however, knowledge regarding the pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic strategies is unsatisfactory. The new hypoglycemic drug dapagliflozin has shown certain benefits, such as decreasing the risk of cardiovascular and renal events in patients with diabetes. Even so, until now, the effects and underlying mechanisms of dapagliflozin on diabetic male infertility have awaited clarification. Here, we found that dapagliflozin lowered blood glucose levels, alleviated seminiferous tubule destruction, and increased sperm concentrations and motility in leptin receptor-deficient diabetic db/db mice. Moreover, the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) antagonist exendin (9-39) had no effect on glucose levels but reversed the protective effects of dapagliflozin on testicular structure and sperm quality in db/db mice. We also found that dapagliflozin inhibited the testicular apoptotic process by upregulating the expression of the antiapoptotic protein B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) and X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and inhibiting oxidative stress by enhancing the antioxidant status, including total antioxidant capacity, total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity, as well as decreasing the level of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). Exendin (9-39) administration partially reversed these effects. Furthermore, dapagliflozin upregulated the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level in plasma and GLP-1R expression by promoting AKT8 virus oncogene cellular homolog (Akt) phosphorylation in testicular tissue. Exendin (9-39) partially inhibited Akt phosphorylation. These results suggest that dapagliflozin protects against diabetes-induced spermatogenic dysfunction via activation of the GLP-1R/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway. Our results indicate the potential effects of dapagliflozin against diabetes-induced spermatogenic dysfunction.

CBX7 Rejuvenates Late Passage Dental Pulp Stem Cells by Maintaining Stemness and Pro-angiogenic Ability

BACKGROUND@#Ever-growing tissue regeneration causes pressing need for large population of stem cells. However, extensive cell expansion eventually leads to impaired regenerative potentials. In this study, chromobox protein homolog 7 (CBX7) was overexpressed to rejuvenate late passage dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs-P9). @*METHODS@#The recruitment of copper ions (Cu2+ )-activated hypoxia-inducible factor-1a (HIF-1a) to the CBX7 gene promoter was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Functions subsequent to Cu2+ -induced or recombinant overexpression of CBX7 on proliferation, multipotency, odontoblastic differentiation and angiogenesis were investigated in vitro, while murine subcutaneous transplantation model was used to further detect the effects of Cu2+ -induced CBX7 overexpression in vivo. @*RESULTS@#Our data displayed that CBX7 overexpression maintain proliferation and multipotency of DPSCs-P9 almost as strong as those of DPSCs-P3. Both gene level of odontoblast-lineage markers and calcium precipitation were nearly the same between CBX7 overexpressed DPSCs-P9 and normal DPSCs-P3. Moreover, we also found upregulated expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in DPSCs-P9 with CBX7 overexpression, which increased the number of capillary-like structures and migrating co-cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells as well. These findings indicate CBX7 as an effective factor to rejuvenate late passage stem cells insusceptible to cell expansion. Cu2+ has been proved to achieve CBX7 overexpression in DPSCs through the initiation of HIF-1a-CBX7 cascade. Under Cu2+ stimulation since P3, DPSCs-P9 exhibited ameliorated regenerative potential both in vitro and in vivo. @*CONCLUSION@#Long-term stimulation of Cu2+ to overexpress CBX7 could be a new strategy to manufacture large population of self-renewing stem cells.

The nucleocapsid protein of rice stripe virus in cell nuclei of vector insect regulates viral replication

Rice stripe virus (RSV) transmitted by the small brown planthopper causes severe rice yield losses in Asian countries. Although viral nuclear entry promotes viral replication in host cells, whether this phenomenon occurs in vector cells remains unknown. Therefore, in this study, we systematically evaluated the presence and roles of RSV in the nuclei of vector insect cells. We observed that the nucleocapsid protein (NP) and viral genomic RNAs were partially transported into vector cell nuclei by utilizing the importin α nuclear transport system. When blocking NP nuclear localization, cytoplasmic RSV accumulation significantly increased. In the vector cell nuclei, NP bound the transcription factor YY1 and affected its positive regulation to FAIM. Subsequently, decreased FAIM expression triggered an antiviral caspase-dependent apoptotic reaction. Our results reveal that viral nuclear entry induces completely different immune effects in vector and host cells, providing new insights into the balance between viral load and the immunity pressure in vector insects.

Clinical analysis of 14 cases of niacin deficiency / 中华全科医师杂志

The clinical data of 14 patients with niacin deficiency diagnosed and treated in Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College from 2012 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 11 males and 3 females aged 26-65 years. The etiological factors were alcoholism in 8 cases, gastrointestinal disease in 3 cases, medication history in 1 case, and unknown etiology in 2 cases.Patients had typical skin lesions, 1 case also had both digestive system and nervous system symptoms, and 3 cases had combined digestive system symptoms and 2 cases had neurological symptoms. All patients were systematically treated with oral nicotinamide and vitamin B complex, and also with topical drugs; and they all improved after 14-52 days of treatment. During regular follow-up, 2 cases of alcoholics and 1 case with diarrhea had recurrence. It is suggested that the typical clinical triad of niacin deficiency is uncommon, and the diagnosis is based on the medical history, clinical manifestations and relevant laboratory test, and the treatment with nicotinamide and vitamin B complex is usually effective; alcoholism is the main cause in male patients and is prone to recurrence.

Diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography for pancreatic cystic lesions / 中华胰腺病杂志

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs).Methods:Clinical data of 211 patients with PCLs, who underwent EUS at least once and were pathologically confirmed in First Affiliated of Naval Medical University from January 2011 to December 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. EUS imaging characteristics, biochemical analysis of cystic fluid and pathological data were recorded. The pathological diagnosis results of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and mucinous cystic neoplasms were included in the mucinous lesion group, while pancreatic pseudocyst, serous cystic neoplasms, solid pseudopapillary neoplasms and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were included as non-mucinous lesions group; those with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, adenocarcinoma or with atypical or cancer cells were included as malignant lesion group, and the else were included as benign lesions group. The level of CEA in cyst fluid between mucinous and non-mucinous lesions and the level of amylase in cyst fluid between benign and malignant lesion groups were compared, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by drawing receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), which was used to analyze the differential diagnosis efficiency of cyst fluid CEA and amylase test indexes. The basic characteristics and EUS imaging characteristics, and the diagnostic efficiency of EUS and liquid-based cytology and histopathology between benign and malignant lesions were studied and analyzed.Results:Among the 211 PCL patients, cyst fluid was obtained in 201 patients, of which 188 patients (93.5%) underwent cytological examination, and 33 patients were diagnosed with an accuracy rate of 17.6%; 41 cases were obtained for histological examination, and 23 cases were confirmed, with an accuracy rate of 56.1%. Among all confirmed cases, 45 cases had benign lesions, including 22 cases of mucinous lesions and 23 cases of non-mucinous lesions, with the cyst fluid CEA of 1458.16(19.80, 1500.00), 4.4(0.50, 341.14)ng/ml respectively, and the difference of cyst fluid CEA level between mucinous and non-mucinous lesions was statistically significant( P<0.05). The cyst fluid CEA<10.15 ng/ml could be used to diagnose non-mucinous PCLs with the sensitivity of 89.5%(95% CI0.686-0.981), and the specificity of 66.7%(95% CI0.438-0.837). The cyst fluid amylase levels in benign and malignant lesions were 379.00(50.00, 18405.50), 42.00(13.50, 340.00)U/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The cyst fluid amylase>747.50 U/L might help to identify benign PCLs with the sensitivity of 91.7%(95% CI0.646-0.996), and the specificity of 48.0%(95% CI0.300-0.665). EUS showed that the proportion of cyst wall thickening, main duct dilatation and cystic solid components in patients with malignant lesions was significantly higher than that in patients with benign lesions, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in the proportion of cyst wall nodules and cystic septum between the two groups. The accuracy of EUS combined with liquid-based cytology or histopathology in malignant lesions was over 80%. Conclusions:The cyst fluid CEA level can help to differentiate non-mucinous PCLs from mucinous PCLs, and the cystic amylase level could be useful to identify the benign and malignant PCLs. EUS combined with cytology or histology had high diagnostic value for malignant or potentially malignant PCLs, and EUS-FNA examination can be recommended as soon as possible for those with high-risk factors.

Cold thinking on ten hot issues in the treatment of early breast cancer / 中华外科杂志

With the development of new strategies like target therapy and immunotherapy, early breast cancer treatment has become more standardized, and the interval of disease free survival has been extended. Although guidelines and expert consensus have provided supports for clinical decision making, there are still some controversial issues in clinical practice, attributing to different treatment concepts, product indications and accessibility. These controversial issues would eventually affect the treatment of early breast cancer. This year in 2021, the approval of new indications of drugs like abemaciclib and the popularity of dual anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 targeted drugs have promoted the change of treatment modalities for different types of early breast cancer. To this end, ten hot topics of early breast cancer are summarized according to their different molecular typing and treatment stages for discussion.

Effect of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of IgA nephropathy based on propensity score matching / 中华肾脏病杂志

Objective:To investigate the effects of hyperuricemia on the prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) using propensity score matching (PSM) method.Methods:IgAN patients proven by biopsy were included. PSM was used to match patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis, and Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of hyperuricemia on IgAN prognosis. Primary outcome events were defined as death, or end-stage renal disease (dialysis, transplantation), or a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) greater than 40%. Renal outcome was defined as end-stage renal disease (dialysis, transplantation), or a decrease in eGFR greater than 40%.Results:A total of 1 454 IgAN patients were included in this study, including 850 females and 604 males. Uric acid level was (368.26±92.87) μmol/L in the males, and (277.23±92.71) μmol/L in the females. The median follow-up time was 85.00(56.10, 106.33) months. During the follow-up period, a total of 134 patients reached the primary outcome events, including 5 deaths, 24 dialysis patients, 5 kidney transplant patients, and 100 patients with eGFR decreased by more than 40%. After 1∶1 matching, 131 males and 159 females in the hyperuricemia group were successfully matched with 131 males and 159 females in the normal uric acid group, and there was no significant statistical difference in each parameter in baseline between the hyperuricemia group and normal uric acid group after matching. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that either before or after matching, the incidence of primary outcome events in male or female patients with hyperuricemia was higher than those with normal uric acid, but there was no statistically significant difference in incidence of primary outcome events between female hyperuricemia group and female normal uric acid group after matching (Log-rank test, χ2=3.586, P=0.058). Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that, in the pre-match fully adjusted model, the hazard ratio ( HR) of entering primary outcome events was 2.29-fold (95% CI 1.27-4.11, P=0.006) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.85-fold (95% CI 1.01-3.37, P=0.045) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the post-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering primary outcome events was 2.41-fold (95% CI 1.18-4.93, P=0.016) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.83-fold (95% CI 0.91-3.67, P=0.091) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the pre-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering renal outcome events was 2.68-fold (95% CI 1.47-4.88, P=0.001) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.81-fold (95% CI 0.99-3.33, P=0.056) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. In the post-match fully adjusted model, the HR of entering renal outcome events was 2.89-fold (95% CI 1.36-6.15, P=0.006) for men with hyperuricemia and 1.81-fold (95% CI 0.88-3.72, P=0.106) for women with hyperuricemia compared with those with normal uric acid. Conclusion:Hyperuricemia may be associated with IgAN progression, and it has a more significant effect on male IgAN patients.

HSV-1 H129-Derived Anterograde Neural Circuit Tracers: Improvements, Production, and Applications / 神经科学通报·英文版

Anterograde viral tracers are powerful and essential tools for dissecting the output targets of a brain region of interest. They have been developed from herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) strain H129 (H129), and have been successfully applied to map diverse neural circuits. Initially, the anterograde polysynaptic tracer H129-G4 was used by many groups. We then developed the first monosynaptic tracer, H129-dTK-tdT, which was highly successful, yet improvements are needed. Now, by inserting another tdTomato expression cassette into the H129-dTK-tdT genome, we have created H129-dTK-T2, an updated version of H129-dTK-tdT that has improved labeling intensity. To help scientists produce and apply our H129-derived viral tracers, here we provide the protocol describing our detailed and standardized procedures. Commonly-encountered technical problems and their solutions are also discussed in detail. Broadly, the dissemination of this protocol will greatly support scientists to apply these viral tracers on a large scale.

Development of guidelines and clinical practice for breast cancer / 中华外科杂志

In the past two decades, with the introduction of NCCN guidelines, the establishment of a standardized diagnosis and treatment system for breast cancer had begun. The Chinese version of the NCCN guidelines, which combines international standards and Chinese characteristics, was then developed to guide clinical practice. Since 2011, Chinese experts have entered St. Gallen International Expert Consensus Group, and to introduce the latest therapy concepts. On this basis, the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology has developed guidelines for diagnosis and treatment in line with product accessibility and expert opinions to help clinicians choose the best treatment option. The latest Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology Breast Cancer Guideline will further contribute to the establishment of a standardized diagnosis and treatment system for breast cancer.

The present situation and future of real world research in diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer / 中华外科杂志

Real-world study is increasingly becoming an important source of evidence for changing clinical practice, especially for clinical problems that can't be randomized. In recent years, real-world research in the field of breast cancer has gradually became a boom. Existing research results have begun to assist in the epidemiological analysis of breast cancer, promote the approval of rare diseases diagnosis and indication, and promote the analysis of real-world treatment status and evaluation of curative effects. Chinese scholars have also established databases and carried out relevant real-world research, providing real-world evidence for clinical practice in China. But domestic research is still in its infancy. The number of real-world research literature published by domestic scholars is relatively small, and there is a lack of pragmatic randomized clinical trial and real-world research for decision-making. In the future, we need to take advantage of the abundant diagnosis and treatment resources, further improve the database, and carry out real-world study on drug development based on population data in China.

Analysis on Reentry Situation of HBsAg Single Reagent Reactive Blood Donors in Anhui Province / 中国实验血液学杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To analyze the reentry situation of HBsAg single reagent reactive blood donors in Anhui province, and to verify the rationality and effectiveness of reentry strategy of blood donors in Anhui province.@*METHODS@#Shielded blood donors who were HBsAg single reagent reactive might voluntarily apply for returning to the team of blood donors after the shield of 6 months. Blood bankstaff that shielded those donors should draw blood and conduct screening tests. Samples from donors who were HBsAg negative should be delivered to Anhui Blood Center to conduct the reentry detections. Shielded blood donors were allowed to return to the team if the results of HBsAg test, neutralization test, HBcAb test and nucleic acid test were negative.@*RESULTS@#109 person-portions of samples for returning to team from September 2013 to December 2016 were delivered to Anhui Blood Center. After reentry tests, 60 of them were negative, 8 cases were positive, while 41 cases were undetermined, and the qualified rate was 55.05%.25 negative donors were from Hefei, 20 of them donated blood again and were negative.@*CONCLUSION@#The shielding and reentry strategy of blood donors with HBsAg single reagent reactive in Anhui province is rational and effective. However, there are still some deficiencies in trace of donors and information transmission, which needs to be further improved.
