Genome-wide analysis identify novel germline genetic variations in ADCY1 influencing platinum-based chemotherapy response in non-small cell lung cancer

To explore the pharmacogenomic markers that affect the platinum-based chemotherapy response in non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), we performed a two-cohort of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including 34 for WES-based and 433 for microarray-based analyses, as well as two independent validation cohorts. After integrating the results of two studies, the genetic variations related to the platinum-based chemotherapy response were further determined by fine-mapping in 838 samples, and their potential functional impact were investigated by eQTL analysis and in vitro cell experiments. We found that a total of 68 variations were significant at P < 1 × 10-3 in cohort 1 discovery stage, of which 3 SNPs were verified in 262 independent samples. A total of 541 SNPs were significant at P < 1 × 10-4 in cohort 2 discovery stage, of which 8 SNPs were verified in 347 independent samples. Comparing the validated SNPs in two GWAS, ADCY1 gene was verified in both independent studies. The results of fine-mapping showed that the G allele carriers of ADCY1 rs2280496 and C allele carriers of rs189178649 were more likely to be resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy. In conclusion, our study found that rs2280496 and rs189178649 in ADCY1 gene were associated the sensitivity of platinum-based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Establishment and application of networked full-coverage multi-disciplinary team management mode under hospital administrative guidance / 中华医院管理杂志

Multi-disciplinary team(MDT)mode is regarded as the key to standardized diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. The model, however, encounters such roadblocks in the current form of MDT organization, as costly clinical resources and time consumption, low efficiency, poor management of participating experts in MDT, and lack of enforceability of the therapeutic decisions made. This paper summarized the practical MDT experiences of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. It introduced the construction of an intranet-based MDT system covering a large proportion of newly diagnosed malignant tumor patients, and the practices and achievements of such MDT management system under hospital administrative guidance. The authors proposed to use reporting ratio as the main assessment indicator in promoting MDT, and that to define the performance, responsibilities and rights in MDT practice. These measures aim at to upgrading individual behaviors of doctors to organizational behaviors of hospitals, and providing cancer patients with more standardized, comprehensive and personalized diagnosis and treatment decisions.

Effect of calmodulin and its mutants on binding to Na1.2 IQ / 浙江大学学报·医学版

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of calmodulin (CaM) and its mutants on binding to voltage-gated Na channel isoleucine-glutamine domain (Na1.2 IQ).@*METHODS@#The cDNA of Na1.2 IQ was constructed by PCR technique, CaM mutants CaM, CaM and CaM were constructed with Quickchange site-directed mutagenesis kit (QIAGEN). The binding of Na1.2 IQ to CaM and CaM mutants under calcium and calcium free conditions were detected by pull-down assay.@*RESULTS@#Na1.2 IQ and CaM were bound to each other at different calcium concentrations, while GST alone did not bind to CaM. The binding affinity of CaM and Na1.2 IQ at [Ca]-free was greater than that at 100 nmol/L [Ca] ( < 0.05). In the absence of calcium, the binding amount of CaM wild-type to Na1.2 IQ was greater than that of its mutant, and the binding affinity of CaM to Na1.2 IQ was the weakest among the three mutants ( < 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The binding ability of CaM and CaM mutants to Na1.2 IQ is Ca-dependent. This study has revealed a new mechanism of Na1.2 regulated by CaM, which would be useful for the study of ion channel related diseases.

Anatomical changes and imaging manifestations of childhood developmental dysplasia of the hip / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Developmental dysplasia of the hip is a common hip developmental deformity in children. Clinical treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip differs in different periods. Early treatment has better efficacy, fewer complications, and better long-term prognosis. It can reduce the recurrence rate, reduce economic pressure, and improve the quality of life. Therefore, early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip is becoming more and more important clinically. OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress of anatomical changes and imaging manifestations of developmental dysplasia of the hip. METHODS: “DDH, Anatomy, X-ray Radiography, CT, MRI, Ultrasound” were used as English search terms. “Developmental hip dysplasia; anatomy; X-ray photography; CT; MRI, ultrasound” were used as Chinese search terms. The authors searched English databases such as PubMed and Springerlink, and Chinese databases such as Wanfang and CNKI from January 1990 to December 2019. Irrelevant and repetitive articles were excluded, and finally 55 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Imaging diagnosis as a non-invasive examination method has become the preferred examination method for the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip, and its anatomical changes are more conducive to clinical imaging diagnosis. Routine X-ray examination can be used for rapid screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip. MRI helps to distinguish the early signal changes of soft tissue structure and bony structure. Three-dimensional CT can evaluate the acetabular bone structure changes from multiple angles, excluding the obstruction caused by posture factors. Ultrasonography is more sensitive to fluid and can also perform early screening of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Thus, different imaging examinations have their advantages and complement each other to improve the early diagnosis rate of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Feasibility of robotic surgical system in radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer after liver transplantation / 中华胃肠外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility and safety of robotic surgical system for radical gastrectomy after liver transplantation.@*METHODS@#A 65-year-old male patient with gastric cancer after liver transplantation underwent radical distal subtotal gastrectomy using Da Vinci surgical system at the General Surgery Department of Southwest Hospital Affiliated to the Army Military Medical University on October 23,2018. The placement of Trocars was arranged using five-hole method. No metastatic tumors were found during intraperitoneal exploration and the first hepatic hilum was found to be wrapped with omentum majus. The tumor located at gastric antrum near the lesser curvature. Then the first and the second station lymph nodes were dissected successively. Distal gastrectomy, Billroth II and Brown anastomosis were performed. The anatomical changes of upper abdomen and gastric lymph reflux after liver transplantation were analyzed.@*RESULTS@#Radical distal gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy was successfully performed under the whole robotic surgical system. The operative time was 315 minutes,and blood loss was 145 ml. A total of 19 lymph nodes were dissected, of which 11 were metastatic lymph nodes. The operative difficulty was to separate the adhesion around the hepatic hilum precisely so as to avoid the damage of hepatic surface, as well as the colon hepatic flexure and duodenum which were closely adhered to hepatic hilum. Meanwhile,it was necessary to pay attention to protetion for the common bile duct and portal vein. The endoscopic wrist joint of the robot surgical system was flexible and delicate, which had obvious advantages in the process of anatomical separation of the adhesions among organs and adhesions around denuded common hepatic artery without normal vascular sheath. Semi-liquid diet was provided on the third day after operation. The immunosuppressants were resumed on the third day after operation. The patient was discharged on the 7th day postoperatively without any complications. There were no abdominal bleeding, incision infection,anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis and other complications. Two months after operation, the patients diet and daily life is normal.@*CONCLUSION@#The robotic surgical system is safe and feasible for gastric cancer surgery after liver transplantation.

Pharmacogenetic Correlates of Antipsychotic-Induced Weight Gain in the Chinese Population / 神经科学通报·英文版

Antipsychotic-induced weight gain (AIWG) is a common adverse effect of this treatment, particularly with second-generation antipsychotics, and it is a major health problem around the world. We aimed to review the progress of pharmacogenetic studies on AIWG in the Chinese population to compare the results for Chinese with other ethnic populations, identify the limitations and problems of current studies, and provide future research directions in China. Both English and Chinese electronic databases were searched to identify eligible studies. We determined that > 25 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in 19 genes have been investigated in association with AIWG in Chinese patients over the past few decades. HTR2C rs3813929 is the most frequently studied single-nucleotide polymorphism, and it seems to be the most strongly associated with AIWG in the Chinese population. However, many genes that have been reported to be associated with AIWG in other ethnic populations have not been included in Chinese studies. To explain the pharmacogenetic reasons for AIWG in the Chinese population, genome-wide association studies and multiple-center, standard, unified, and large samples are needed.

Comparison of clinical efficacy between proximal gastrectomy with double tract reconstruction and total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction for proximal gastric cancer / 中华胃肠外科杂志

Objective@#To compare the clinical efficacy of proximal gastrectomy with double tract reconstruction (PG-DT) and total gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction (TG-RY) for proximal gastric cancer.@*Methods@#The retrospective study was conducted. Clinicopathological data of 132 patients with proximal gastric cancer confirmed by pathology who underwent PG-DT (n=51) or TG-RY (n=81) by the same surgeon team in Southwest Hospital of Army Military Medical University between January 2006 and December 2016 were collected. Patients with preoperative neoadjuvant therapy, non-R0 resection and non-adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology were excluded. Observation indicators included intraoperative (operation time and blood loss); postoperative (time to flatus, hospital stay, total complications, metastasis of lymph nodes around distal side of stomach from cases undergoing TG-RY), follow-up (long-term hemoglobin level, incidence of anemia, and survival) parameters. Survival analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Log-rank test was used to compare survival difference between two groups.@*Results@#No statistically significant differences were found between two groups in the baseline data, including age, gender, BMI, hemoglobin level before operation, postoperative TNM stage, tumor size and histological differentiation between two groups (all P>0.05). There were no significant differences between PG-DT and TG-RY in intraoperative blood loss [200 (200) ml vs. 200 (195) ml, Z=-1.860, P=0.063], time to flatus [(2.7±1.0) days vs. (2.6±1.1) days, t=0.225, P=0.823], postoperative hospital stay [10(3) days vs. 10 (4) days, Z=-0.449, P=0.654] and morbidity of perioperative complications [5.9% (3/51) vs. 8.6% (7/81), χ2=0.081, P=0.775]. Compared with the TG-RY group, PG-DT group had longer total operative time [294 (97) minutes vs. 255 (71) minutes, Z=–3.148, P=0.002]. The hemoglobin data of 42 patients with PG-DT and 56 patients with TG-RY were collected 1 year after operation. The incidence of anemia in PG-DT group was lower than that of TG-RY group [64.2%(27/42) vs. 82.1% (46/56), χ2=4.072, P=0.045], and PG-DT group had higher level of hemoglobin than TG-RY group [(114.4±16.3) g/L vs. (106.6±15.0) g/L, t=2.435, P=0.017]. There were 4 cases (4/81, 4.9%) with metastasis of lymph nodes around distal side of stomach in TG-RY group. All of these 4 tumors were T4 in depth and were more than 5 cm in diameter. The median follow-up period was 26 (1 to 110) months. One-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 93.2%, 65.3% and 55.0% in PG-DT group, and 85.8%, 63.8% and 47.2% in TG-RY group, respectively without significant difference (χ2=0.890, P=0.345).@*Conclusions@#Compared with TG-RY, PG-DT has the same safety and feasibility for proximal gastric cancer. Although the operative time is a little longer than TG-RY, PG-DT has advantages in improving the postoperative hemoglobin level.

Preliminary Research for the Effect of Growth Hormone Releasing Peptide on Myocardial Cell Apoptosis in Heart Failure Rats / 中国循环杂志

To explore the effect of growth hormone releasing peptide (GHRP) on myocardial cell apoptosis in heart failure (HF) rats. Methods: Rat's HF model was established by the ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery induced ischemia. 40 male SD rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: Normal control group, Sham operation group, HF group and GHRP treated HF group. n=10 in each group and the rats were fed for 4 weeks after the operation. Cardiac function was examined and myocardial cell morphology was observed; protein expressions of Smac/DIABL0 and Bcl-2 were measured by Western blot analysis; cell apoptosis was evaluated by FCM technique. The differences for above parameters were compared among groups to explore the effect of GHRP on myocardial cell apoptosis in HF rats. Results: Compared with HF group, GHRP treated HF group showed the less heart dilation, higher LVEF, lighter pathological changes in myocardial cells and decreased protein expression of Smac/DIABL0, all P<0.05. Bcl-2 level was lower in HF group than the other 3 groups, P<0.05. Compare with Normal control group, GHRP treated HF group had elevated Bcl-2 level, all P<0.05. Myocardial cell apoptosis index was different between HF group and GHRP treated HF group, P<0.05. Conclusion: The effect of GHRP on anti-HF should be via inhibiting myocardial cell apoptosis; the mechanism may partly be through promoting Bcl-2 protein expression and depressing Smac/DIABLO mediated mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.

Operating time was compared among 4 groups.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the open group, laparoscopic group had shorter operation time [(138.8±69.2) min vs. (173.3±74.5) min, P=0.001], less intraoperative bleeding [30 ml vs. 125 ml, P=0.000], faster recovery to postoperative first flatus [(3.2±1.1) d vs. (3.8±1.1) d, P=0.000] and resumption of oral intake [(3.9±1.5) d vs. (4.7±1.5) d, P=0.000], and a shorter hospital stay [(8.1±2.3) d vs. (10.0±2.6) d, P=0.001]. The operation time of laparoscopic group A, B, C and D was (181.0±81.2) min, (124.7±57.8) min, (126.9±67.9) min and (123.4±51.8) min respectively, and the difference was statistically significant(F=7.188, P=0.001). Median follow-up time of 226 patients was 32 months(5 to 104 months). In laparoscopic group, 136 cases(86.1%) received follow-up, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival were 98.7%, 90.7% and 72.8% respectively. In the open group, 59 cases (86.8%) received follow-up, and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival were 98.3%, 87.1% and 83.1%, respectively. The survival between two groups were not significantly different(P=0.164).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Laparoscopic surgery removing gastric GIST with a maximal diameter of less than 10 cm is safe and feasible. The learning curve of laparoscopic gastric GIST surgery is about 40 cases.</p>

Clinical analysis of methylprednisolone combined with entecavir in treatment of hepatitis B virus related early stage liver failure / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To observe the curative effect of methylprednisolone combined with entecavir in treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) related early stage liver failure.Methods One hundred and twenty-six patients with HBV related early stage liver failure were divided into treatment group (68 cases) and control group (58 cases) by random digits table method.The patients in 2 groups were given conventional hepatinica treatment and entecavir antiviral treatment,but the patients in treatment group were added methylprednisolone and pantoprazole.The alanine aminotransferase (ALT),total bilirubin (TBil),albumin,prothrombin time (PT),HBV-DNA,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interleukin (IL)-6 levels were compared between 2 groups,and the adverse reaction of methylprednisolone was observed.Results The ALT,TBil,PT and albumin levels after the first,second,fourth,sixth and eighth week of treatment in treatment group were significantly better than those in control group,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).There was no statistical difference in HBV-DNA between 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The TNF-α and IL-6 levels after the first and second week of treatment in treatment group were (4.13 ± 1.25) and (1.98 ± 0.67) p g/L,(3.21 ± 0.75)and (1.23 ± 0.29) μ g/L,and in control groups were (5.89 ± 1.78) and (3.67 ± 0.87)μ g/L,(4.12 ± 0.88) and (2.68 ± 0.81) μ g/L.The TNF-α and IL-6 levels in treatment group were significantly lower than those in control group,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The effective rate in treatment group (79.41％,54168) was significantly higher than that in control group (51.72％,30/58),the fatality rate in treatment group (2.94％,2/68) was significantly lower than that in control group (24.14％,14/58),and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The adverse reaction of methylprednisolone in treatment group was not found.Conclusion The methylprednisolone combined with entecavir can improve liver function and survival rate in patients with HBV related early stage liver failure,and adverse reaction of methylprednisolone is rare.

Utrasound-based molecular imaging in carotid atherosclerotic plaque / 国际脑血管病杂志

Ultrasound-based molecular imaging technique is a role in positioning based on the conventional ultrasonic detection technology in combination with the targeted ultrasound contrast agent.It is a new technology to detect the changes of target tissue molecular level in vivo state.This article reviews the principles of ultrasound-based molecular imaging and its application in the evaluations of early inflammatory response,neovascularization,and vulnerable plaque in carotid atherosclerosis.
