Function and regulatory mechanism of androgen receptor variant 7 in castration resistant prostate cancer / 中华泌尿外科杂志

Androgen receptor (AR) plays a key regulatory role in the development of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), and the level of constitutive active variants represented by androgen receptor variant 7 (AR-V7) is increasing during the progress of CRPC, which can be used as a molecular marker of disease progress and prognosis of patients with CRPC. It is an important target to overcome castration resistance and improve the quality of life and survival of patients. In this paper, the function of AR-V7 and its molecular regulation mechanism in CRPC are reviewed. The research shows that the generation of AR-V7 is related to the structural rearrangement of AR gene, gene amplification and the selective splicing of AR gene transcripts, and it is affected by the coordinated regulation of multiple signal pathway molecules such as TGF-β; AR-V7 changes the transport and nuclear localization mechanism of AR protein, and further affects the transcriptional expression of downstream target genes. AR-V7 antagonizes AR activity and blocks the differentiation process driven by AR and androgen, and inhibits the expression of tumor suppressor genes to stimulate the proliferation of tumor cells, thus promoting the progress of Pca. Related targeting studies have revealed AR-V7 targets and CRPC treatment strategies. Currently, they mainly focus on AR-V7 protein degradation, mRNA expression inhibition and N-terminal domain targeting intervention. With the development of in-depth research, the molecular mechanism of AR-V7 in the progress of Pca will be gradually clarified, which will certainly play a greater role in the prevention and treatment of CRPC.

Impact of Clinical Pharmacist Intervention on Reasonable Use Rate of Antihypertensive Drugs in Medical Orders / 中国药师

Objective:To explore the impact of clinical pharmacists involved in the treatment team on the reasonable drug use rate in medical orders. Methods:Totally 782 medical records including hypertension and 1-3 kinds of hypertension associated diseases in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2011 were used as the pre-intervention group, and 1 061 ones with the same conditions from September 2012 to August 2013 were used as the post-intervention group. The patients of the two groups were divided into 8 dis-ease subgroups, clinical pharmacists performed timely intervention on the medical orders in the post-intervention group, and the rational drug use rate between the two groups was compared. Results:In hypertension, hypertension associated coronary heart disease, hyper-tension with heart failure and hypertension with diabetes subgroups,the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant(P0. 05). After the medical records in the 8 sub-groups were aggregated, the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant( P<0. 01). Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should involve in the clinical treatment to intervene irrational drug use,which can signifi-cantly improve the medical record rationality, avoid the health risks as much as possible and ensure the medication safety and treatment effectiveness for patients.

Prognostic significance of bone marrow examination during induction chemotherapy for B acute lymphoblastic leukemia / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

Objective To explore the prognostic significance of bone marrow examination at different time points by using different methods during induction therapy.Methods From Feb.2004 to Jan.2013,268 newly diagnosed (B acute lymphoblastic leukemia,B-ALL) pediatric patients in Peking University People's Hospital,were enrolled for the study.In this study,the overall survival (OS) ratio and event-free survival(EFS) ratio of patients with different bone marrow morphology on day 8 and day 15 were analyzed.Based on different cut off value of minimal residual disease (MRD) on day 15 and end-of-induction,the OS ratio and EFS ratio of the higher patients and the lower patients were compared.Results Patients with M1,M2 or M3 marrows on day 8 had no significant difference in OS ratio (P =0.372) or EFS ratio (P =0.393).When it came to day 15,patients with M1,M2 or M3 marrows had no significant difference in OS ratio (P =0.050) or EFS ratio (P =0.324).Patients with MRD ＞ 10.00％ on day 15 had lower OS ratio than those with MRD ≤ 10.00％,and it had significant difference(P =0.022).But there was no significant difference in EFS ratio (P =0.191).As for MRD on the end-of-induction,when using the MRD level of 0.0l ％,0.10％,1.00％ as cut-off values,the lower group of end-of-induction MRD was significantly associated with a higher probability of OS ratio and it had significant differences(P =0.018,0.006,0.002),and it showed the same results at EFS ratio (P =0.002,0.000,0.000).Conclusions The bone marrow morphology on day 8 and day 15 during induction therapy had no prognostic significance.The MRD of day 15 had prognostic significance when using 10.00％ as the cut off value.The critical value of MRD on the end-of-induction MRD should be 0.01％ for the prognosis.

Objectives To compare the efficacy and adverse effects of combining all-trans retinoic acid and arsenic triox-ide with or without anthracyclines on the treatment of childhood acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients. Methods The retrospective study included 46 children as newly diagnosed APL from January 1st, 2001 to December 31st , 2012. Efficacy and adverse effects for different induction therapies and in high and low white blood cell (WBC) count subgroups were studied. Results In the non antharcycline containing group, 2 patients died during remission induction, and in the antharcycline containing group none of the patients died. No statistical difference was observed between the antharcycline containing group and the non antharcycline containing group in complete remission, the length of time to achieve molecular complete remission and minimal residual disease quantitative analysis at the end of the induction. The mean duration of high WBC count subgroup in the anthar-cycline containing group was shortened than that of the non antharcycline containing group (P<0.05). The recovery time of the abnormal coagulation was found similar between these two groups. Conclusions The use of antharcycline in induction therapy could shorten the duration of high WBC count and reduced the WBC count peak , thus reduces the risk of early death.

Effects of the Combination of Shenmai Injection and Aminophylline on Diaphragmatic Function in Rabbits / 中药新药与临床药理

Objective: Effects of Shenmai injection and aminophylline alone or in combination on transdiaphragmatic pressure and electrical activity of diaphragm were observed, so as to evaluate their effecfs on diaphragmatic fatigue. Methods: The diaphramatic fatique (DiF) model was estab- lished by stimulating bilateral phrenic nerves for 40 minutes. The animals were allocated to three groups: Shenmai group (2mL/kg, N=7), aminophylline group (20mg/kg, N=7) and combi- nation group (Shenmai injection 2mL/kg+aminophylline 20mg/kg, N=7) The transdi- aphragmatic pressure (Pdi) and diaphragmatic electromyogram (EMGdi) were recorded before and after treatment. EMGdi was analysed by computer and then the high/low frequency ratio (H/L) and the central frequency (Fc) were caculated. The diaphragm evoked potential (DEP) was record- ed simutaneously. All data was analysed by analysis of variance and q test. Results: Pdi, H/L, Fc and amplitude of DEP were markedly increased after the treatment with aminophyline and Shen- mai injection alone (Compared with DiF. P

Effects of neostigmine on the transdiaphragmatic pressure and diaphragm evoked potential in rabbit / 中国药理学通报

Experiments were performed on spontaneously breathing rabbits anesthetized with urethan. The diaphragmatic fatigue (DiF) was reproduced by the phrenic nerve stimulation (30 Hz, 10 V,0. 2 ms). The transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) and diaphragm evoked potential (DEP) were measured before injury and after injury 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. Pdimax and the amplitude of DEP obviously decreased and the latency of DEP obviously delayed after injury 30min. The amplitude of Pdi and DEP were quickly promoted by introvenous injection of neostig-mine after DiF. The latency of DEP was partially recovered by introvenous injection of neostig-mine. It is concluded that neostigmine can improve the generation of the fatigued diaphragm. and promote its recovery.
