ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the role of Akt signaling pathway in the regulation of breast cancer bone metastasis induced pain behavior in rat.Methods:Model rats were randomly divided into three groups:Model group,Model+GSK690693 group and Model+ Saline group.On PID 13,14 and 21,Model+GSK690693 group rats were intrathecally injected with GSK690693,a specific inhibitor of Akt.Model+Saline group were injected with saline instead.The pain related behaviors were respectively recorded on PID 0,7,14 and 21.The expression ofp-Akt in DRG used for western bloting were examed on PID 21.Results:After the injection of Akt specific inhibitor GSK690693 by intrathecal,In the Model+GSK690693 group,the threshold value of mechanical contraction reflex was increased,the spontaneous pain behavior and the expression of p-Akt in DRG decreased.On PID 14 d and 21 d,the pain behavior of rats in Model+GSK690693 group was significantly different from that of Model+Saline group and Model group (P＜0.01);On PID 21 d,There was significant statistical significance (P＜0.01) on the expression of p-Akt and Model in the ipsilateral Model+GSK690693 of DRG group,which was statistically significant (P＜0.05) compared with the Model+Saline group.Conclusion:Intrathecal injection of Akt specific inhibitor GSK690693 inhibits rat pain related behaviors induced by bone metastasis in rat breast cancer.
ABSTRACT
Through several years of exploration in Shanghai Chongming region, the team from Chongming Branch of Xinhua Hospital has established the initial multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment model of cancer pain, which includes the department of oncology, anesthesiology, pain, rehabilitation, psychology and so forth. By means of medical informationization, they take cancer pain management as the starting point and have initially real-ized a new model of the real-time assessment and treatment of cancer pain, which has helped patients effectively reduce the physical and psychological suffering, improved the quality of life, developed a healthy self-manage-ment of patients, and has reference significance to palliative care.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between the plasma IL-6,ACE level and DVH parameters radiation pneumonitis,and to evaluate its clinical value on the prediction of radiation pneumonitis.Methods 60 patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with unresectable or unwilling to surgical resection routinely received three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy.Before radiotherapy,radiotherapy beginning 1 week,2 weeks,3 weeks,4 weeks,5 weeks,6 weeks,8 weeks and 12 weeks,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect IL-6 and ACE content.The evaluation of radiation pneumonitis was accordance with the RTOG acute radiation pneumonitis grading standards.The patients with radiation pneumonitis were included in observation group,otherwise as control group.IL-6,ACE and DVH parameters in two groups were analyzed.The DVH parameters includes V20,V20,MLD and NTP.Results Among all the 60 patients,16 cases were diagnosed as radiation pneumonitis,among whom 5 cases occurred in radiotherapy,10 cases occurred within one month after radiotherapy,1 case occurred in two months after radiotherapy,including the 11 cases of grade Ⅱ and the other 5 cases of grade Ⅲ.In the observation group and the control group,expression level of the IL-6 had statistical significance before and after radiotherapy,ACE had significant difference in 2rd,3rd,4th,5th,6th week after radiotherapy (all P ＜ 0.05).V20,V30 and MLD differences were statistically significant between the observation group and control group [(46.2±4.5) ％ vs (30.5±7.5) ％,(37.5±5.6) ％ vs (20.5±5.6) ％,(20.4±2.3) Gy vs (15.5±3.5) Gy,(25.2±8.2) ％ vs (9.9±4.5) ％,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusion Plasma IL-6,ACE levels,V20,V30,the MLD,and NTP are related to the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis.
