ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To investigate the composition-activity relationship of the antioxidant active component in essential oil of Lavandula angustifolia from Xinjiang. METHODS ：Antioxidant activity of essential oil of L. angustifolia was evaluated with 1，1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH）free radicals scavenging method. GC-MS combined with retention index were adopted to qualitatively analyze the compounds. The relationship of chemical components with antioxidant activity of essential oil of L. angustifolia was analyzed by principal component analysis （PCA） and partial least squares analyses （PLS）. The variable importance in projection （VIP＞1）was used to screen the components which had great contribution to the elimination of DPPH free radical. RESULTS ：The IC 50 values of essential oil in 9 batches of L. angustifolia from 3 different varieties was 4.82-9.88 mg/mL，IC50 of France blue was 6.66-8.58 mg/mL，IC50 of H- 701 and Xinxun- 4 were 4.82-7.73 mg/mL and 9.55-9.88 mg/mL，respectively. A total of 40 chemical components were identified of essentil oil in 9 batches of L. angustifolia . Results of PCA analysis showed that accumulative variance contribution rate of former 2 main components was 81.8％；9 batches of samples were divided into 3 regions， and different varieties were classified into one category ；the characteristic variable components of the essential oil of French blue samples were lavandulyl acetate corresponding to peak 32 and trans- β-ocimene corresponding to peak 9；the characteristic variable components of the essential oil of H- 701 samples were linalool corresponding to peak 16，linalyl acetate corresponding to peak 30 and terpinen- 4-ol corresponding to peak 21；the characteristic variable components of the essential oil of Xinxun- 4 samples were eucalyptol corresponding to peak 8，camphor corresponding to peak 18 and 2-borneol corresponding to peak 20. The compound with the greatest antioxidant activity was linalool corresponding to peak 16 （VIP＝2.940 0），followed by terpenein- 4-ol corresponding to peak 21（VIP＝2.863 1），caryophyllene corresponding to peak 35（VIP＝2.570 8）and eucalyptol corresponding to peak 8（VIP＝2.115 8）. CONCLUSIONS ：The essential oil of L. angustifolia has certain antioxidant activity ，and H- 701 sample has higher antioxidant activity. Linalool corresponding to peak 16 is the most important component of essential oil of L. angustifolia in eliminating DPPH free radical.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the prognostic factors of patients with unresectable liver metastasis colorectal cancer after failed conversion chemotherapy.@*METHODS@#A retrospective, case-controlled study was performed. Study subjects were 105 patients who were diagnosed with synchronous liver metastasis colorectal cancer after failed chemotherapy (metastasis evaluated as unresectable after the conversion chemotherapy) at Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University from January 2012 to December 2015. Overall survival(OS) was retrospectively analyzed using Kaplan-Meier method. Log-rank test was used to compare survival among groups. Univariate and multivariate analysis was conducted for prognosis using Cox regression model.@*RESULTS@#Of 105 cases,70 were male and 35 were female with median age of 60 years old. Twenty-one patients had right colon cancer, 41 had left colon cancer, 42 had rectal cancer and 1 had synchronous cancers(sigmoid colon and rectum). One hundred and two (97.1%) patients were cT3-4 and 90 patients were cN+ (imaging diagnosis). Eighty-nine (84.8%) patients were loaded with 2 or more liver metastases with the median maximum diameter of 48.3 mm. The patients were followed up for 3 to 43 months from the day of diagnosis. The median OS was 11 months (interquartile range, 8-18). The median OS of patients with cN0, cN1 and cN2 stage was 17, 13 and 10 months, respectively(P=0.026). The median OS of patients with single lesion, 2-3 lesions, 4-10 lesions and more than 10 lesions was 15, 15, 17 and 9 months, respectively (P=0.002). OS of patients with maximum diameter of liver metastatic lesion ≤ 50 mm, 51-100 mm and >100 mm was 15, 10 and 8 months, respectively(P=0.003). The median OS of patients with chemotherapy response of partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) was 17, 14 and 8 months, respectively(P<0.001). OS was 17 months in patients receiving second line chemotherapy and was 10 months in those without second line chemotherapy (P<0.001). OS in patients undergoing primary tumor resection was 13 month and in those without primary tumor resection was 9 months; the difference was not significant (P=0.060). Multivariate analysis showed that cN2(HR=2.115, 95%CI:1.089-4.109, P=0.027), the maximum diameter of liver metastatic lesion more than 100 mm (HR=3.112, 95%CI:1.455-6.657, P=0.003), chemotherapy response of PD (HR=4.435, 95%CI:2.506-7.533,P<0.001) and without second line chemotherapy(HR=4.432,95%CI:2.186-8.986, P=0.010) were independent prognostic factors.@*CONCLUSIONS@#For patients with unresectable liver metastasis from colorectal cancer after failed conversion chemotherapy, prognostic factors include cN2, the maximum diameter of liver metastatic lesion, chemotherapy response and second line chemotherapy. Whether the resection of primary tumor can prolong OS further study.
