Objective:To evaluate the effect of melatonin preconditioning on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods:Forty-eight SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 10-12 weeks, weighing 200-230 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: control group (Con group), NAFLD group, NAFLD + hepatic I/R group (NAFLD+ HIR group), and NAFLD + hepatic I/R + melatonin treatment group (NAFLD+ HIR+ MT group). The NAFLD model was developed by a high-fat and high-glucose diet (10% glucose, 10% fat) for 8 consecutive weeks in NAFLD, NAFLD+ HIR and NAFLD+ HIR+ M groups, and rats were fed with common chow and freely drank water in the other groups.Melatonin 10 mg/kg was given intragastrically daily for 2 consecutive weeks before developing the model in group NAFLD+ HIR+ MT.The model of liver I/R injury was developed by clipping the hepatic artery and portal vein for 20 min, opening for 5 min, and re-clamping for 20 min followed by restoration of perfusion.Blood samples from inferior vena cava were collected and liver tissues were obtained at 6 h of reperfusion to detect serum levels of insulin, blood glucose, free fatty acid (FFA), triglyceride (TG), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST) and ferritin, and insulin resistance index was calculated.The levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), reactive oxygen species (ROS) and Fe 2+ in liver tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the pathological changes of liver tissues were examined with a light microscope after hematoxylin-eosin staining.The expression of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3), long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthase 4 (ACSL4) and glutathione peptide peroxidase 4 (GPX4) was detected by Western blot. Results:Compared with Con group, the levels of serum FFA, TG, ALT, AST and ferritin and insulin resistance index were significantly increased, the levels of ROS and Fe 2+ in liver tissues were increased, the levels of GSH-Px and SOD were decreased, the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 was up-regulated, and the expression of Nrf2 and GPX4 was down-regulated in NAFLD group ( P<0.05). Compared with NAFLD group, the serum levels of FFA, TG, ALT, AST and ferritin and insulin resistance index were significantly increased, the levels of ROS and Fe 2+ were decreased, the levels of GSH-Px and SOD were increased, the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 was up-regulated, and the expression of Nrf2 and GPX4 was down-regulated in NAFLD+ HIR group ( P<0.05). Compared with NAFLD+ HIR group, the serum levels of FFA, TG, ALT, AST and ferritin and insulin resistance index were significantly increased, the levels of ROS and Fe 2+ were decreased, the levels of GSH-Px and SOD were increased, the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 was down-regulated, and the expression of Nrf2 and GPX4 was up-regulated in NAFLD+ HIR+ MT group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Melatonin preconditioning can alleviate hepatic I/R injury in rats with NAFLD, and the mechanism may be related to activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway, reduction of lipid peroxidation and inhibition of ferroptosis.

Progress of discoidin domain receptor 2 in tumors / 肿瘤研究与临床

Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2), a tyrosine kinase receptor belonging to DDRs family, is associated with progression of various cancers. Studies have indicated that DDR2 expression is upregulated in various cancer tissues, which could promote tumors proliferation, invasion, and metastases. Furthermore, patients with high DDR2 expression showed poor 5-year overall survival rate. In addition, DDR2 point mutation can enhance the sensitivity of tumor cells to small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor dasatinib, which suggests that DDR2 mutation may be a promising target for cancer therapy.

Objective To observe Shenci capsule's effect on immunologic function and hematological tox-icity of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.Methods 60 cases of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer were chosen and divided into the therapy group and the control group randomly with 30 cases in each group respectively. While patients in the control group were administered simple GP chemotherapy regime, patients in the therapy group were administered Shenci capsule treatment orally in addition to the therapy in the control group.Comparisons were made of the variations in the subgroup of T lymphocyte(including the absolute val-ue of CD3+cell,the absolute value of CD4+cell,the absolute value of CD8+cell and CD4+/CD8+ratio)of hematology before and after chemotherapy between the two groups of patients. Results No significant discrepancy was found in the comparison of the absolute value of CD3+cell,the absolute value of CD4+cell,the absolute value of CD8+cell and CD4+/CD8+ratio before the chemotherapy between the two groups(P > 0.05)and the absolute value of CD3+cell,and the absolute value of CD4+cell of both groups decreased significantly after the chemotherapy(P<0.05), especially in the control group(P < 0.05). The hematological toxicity of the therapy group was lower than that in the control group(P < 0.05)after the chemotherapy. Conclusion Shenci capsule was capable of enhancing the body immunity in advanced non-small cell lung cancer and alleviating hematological toxicity.

Survival analysis of 256 patients with oral cancer / 中国肿瘤临床

Objective:To analyze survival in patients with advanced oral cancer from prospective clinical trials. Methods:From 2008 to 2010, 256 patients with oral cancer at clinical stage III/IVA were randomly categorized into two groups. Patients in the experi-mental group received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, surgery, and post-operative radiation, and patients in the control group underwent surgery and post-operative radiation. All patients were routinely followed-up after treatments. Survival was analyzed using Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test, and differences were considered statistically significant at P value lower than 0.05. Results: Each group was composed of 128 patients. With the median follow-up period of 60 months, the 5-year overall survival rate was 61.7%and the disease-free survival rate was 53.9%. The overall survival rate (P=0.350) and the disease-free survival rate (P=0.160) were not sig-nificantly different between the experimental and control groups. Patients with positive pathological response to neo-adjuvant chemo-therapy exhibited significantly improved overall survival (P＜0.05). Conclusion:Radical surgery should be emphasized to improve the prognosis of oral cancer. Functional reconstruction could also improve the quality of life and survival of patients. Despite that neo-adju-vant chemotherapy could not improve the survival of patients with advanced oral cancer in entirety, it could benefit patients exhibiting positive treatment responses.

Fifteen cases of juvenile ossifying fibroma of the jaw / 中国肿瘤临床

Objective:To analyze the clinical manifestations, radiographic features, and pathological classification of the juvenile ossifying fibroma (JOF) of the jaws and discuss its clinical management and prognosis. Methods: From January 2005 to December 2014, 15 patients with JOF who underwent surgery were retrospectively investigated with regard to clinical and radiologic data. On the basis of the standards of the World Health Organization in 2005, JOF was divided into juvenile psammomatoid ossifying fibroma (JPOF) and juvenile trabecular ossifying fibroma (JTOF). Results:Among the 15 patients, 10 were female and 5 were male. Patient age ranged from 7 years old to 18 years old with a mean of 10.93 years old. Nine cases were located in the mandible and 6 in the maxilla. The clinical manifestation was painless swelling of the jaw, but 20%of the cases showed jaw swelling with pain. Various JOF radiolog-ic appearances, such as radiolucent, mixed radiopaque-radiolucent, or ground-glass pattern, were observed. Ten of the 15 patients were JTOF and 5 were JPOF With regard to treatment, 4 patients underwent conservative surgery, 3 patients lived with tumors, and 11 pa-tients underwent radical surgery during the follow-up period; no lesion recurrence occurred. Nine patients underwent reconstruction, that is, 5 cases with fibula flap graft, 3 cases with free iliac graft, and 1 case with costal cartilage graft. Conclusion:JOF is a rare form of benign fibro-osseous lesions and occurs in adolescents. Mandible and maxilla are two of the most common locations. Early diagnosis and treatment and strict clinical and radiological follow-up is important in the clinic because of the aggressiveness and high recurrence rate of JOF. Operation time and treatment options should be selected according to the patients' specific situation.
