RESUMO
OBJECTIVE To promote the standardization and integrity of the informed consent form for clinical trials of registered anti-tumor drugs， and to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the subjects. METHODS The ethical review resolutions of clinical trial projects of registered anti-tumor drugs that were initially reviewed by the Ethics Committee of our hospital from July 1st， 2020 to July 1st， 2022 were summarized to statistically analyze the problematic items according to the “Quality Analysis Form of Informed Consent” prepared by our hospital. RESULTS Of the 316 clinical trials of registered anti- tumor drugs that were initially reviewed， 257 （81.3%） had problems with the contents of informed consent form， mainly domestic multi-center trials and phase Ⅲ trials. The main problems included the vague notification of the test fee bearer （68.5%）， the incomplete notification of the test content （59.1%）， the insufficient notification of rights and interests and risks （58.4%）， the insufficient notification of personal information protection （56.0%）， and the nonstandard expression of the informed consent form （52.5%）. CONCLUSIONS There is still a gap between the informed consent form of the clinical trials of registered anti-tumor drugs in our hospital and the requirements of the new version of Good Clinical Practice for Drugs （GCP）. The parties involved in the test can take a number of measures to improve the standardization and integrity of the informed consent form， and the research team should design the informed consent form in strict accordance with the requirements of the new GCP and pay attention to the comprehensive notification about the test. The Ethics Committee can provide the sponsor and researcher with the template of informed consent form and the key points of writing， continue to strengthen the examination ability， improve the examination quality， and effectively protect the safety and interests of the subjects.

RESUMO
Platinum anti-tumor drugs are currently the most widely used first-line chemotherapeutic drugs in clinical practice, and their curative effects are remarkable. However, the problems of platinum drug resistance in non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and others seriously limit effectiveness and clinical application of platinum drugs. The occurrence of platinum drug resistance is caused by many factors. At present, the resistance mechanism of platinum drugs mainly includes the following aspects: decreasing the accumulation of platinum in cells, increasing the inactivation of platinum in cells, repairing DNA damage and tumor cell apoptosis inactivation. This article reviews the drug resistance mechanism and coping strategy of platinum anti-tumor drugs, providing ideas for the development of platinum anti-tumor drugs and references for overcoming clinical platinum drug resistance.

In clinical use ，histopathological diagnosis should be made clear ， and drugs with specific targets should be used after gene detection and strictly follow the indications.
RESUMO
Exosomes are naturally nanometer-sized (40-100 nm) vesicles that contribute to the communication among the cells through the proteins, lipids and RNA which they carried. Exosomes derived at different physiological conditions play different role, which therefore can be widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Besides, exosomes as the natural nanomaterials have the unique advantage in drug delivery system. Although the intrinsic advantages of exosomes have evoked a surge of interest, improvements in standardized isolation techniques with high efficiency and robust yield are still a huge challenge. Here, we provide an overview of the isolation and the application of exosomes in drug delivery system.
RESUMO
Cytotoxic anti-tumor drugs are characterized by narrow therapeutic indexes, severe toxicity and great difference in the effects of individualized therapies, while studies of pharmacogenomics (PGx) can provide biomarkers for predicting the efficacy and toxicity of chemotherapy drugs. PGx biomarkers play an important role in predicting the safety, toxicity and effects of drugs in the treatment of tumors. By identifying specific polymorphisms of PGx biomarkers, physicians could select and customize medication regimens based on the patient's genetic profile. This review focuses on the germline PGx biomarkers that are currently used for guiding therapeutic decisions and have potential clinical application values, including thiopurine S-methyltransferase and thiopurine, NUDT15 and thiopurine, UGT1A1 and irinotecan, DPYD and fluorouracil, CYP2D6 and tamoxifen, and TPMP and cisplatin.
RESUMO
Cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction(CTRCD)is receiving more attention.Risk factors assessment before cancer therapy,cardiac function monitoring during and after cancer therapy,and early detection and treatment of myocardial injury are key to preventing clinical heart failure.The incidence and severity of cardiotoxicity can be reduced by measures such as reducing drug dose,adjusting administration route,and using low toxic drugs.Cardioprotective agents including anti-heart failure drugs and dexrazoxane are important for the prevention and treatment of CTRCD.Patients with advanced heart failure may also benefit from mechanical treatments including cardiac resynchronization therapy and mechanically-assisted ventricular devices.This article reviews the recent advances in the prevention and treatment of CTRCD.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide the new idea for clinical pharmacists providing pharmaceutical care in oncology depart-ment. METHODS:Applying the principles and methods of clinical pathway,the pharmaceutical care of anti-tumor drugs could be divided into before medication,during medication,after medication and patient education,according to the sequence of taking med-icine. On the basis of evidence-based medicine,the care contents of each unit were established,and the pharmaceutical care path-way (PCP) was formed. During chemotherapy duration for a breast cancer metastasis patient with liver function injury,clinical pharmacists conducted pharmaceutical care for drug pretreatment,ADR monitoring and disposal,patient education,as well as put forward the proposal of drug treatment as supplementing calcium,adjusting the dose of epirubicin and paclitaxel targeting on PCP of zoledronic acid,epirubicin and paclitaxel. RESULTS:Physicians adopted the pharmacist’s recommendations. The patient suf-fered from joint and muscle pain during chemotherapy,and the symptom was relieved after symptomatic treatment by celecoxib;chest and back discomfort was relieved significantly after chemotherapy,and the disease condition kept stable. The patient was dis-charged from the hospital. CONCLUSIONS:PCP focus on the time,content and countermeasures of pharmaceutical care,the pro-gram and treatment results of pharmaceutical care,and promote standardization,formalization,simplification and procedure of pharmaceutical care. Clinical pharmacists conduct individualized pharmaceutical care rapidly targeting on PCP so as to deepen the communication of clinical pharmacists with physicians,nurses and patients,and promote the development of pharmaceutical care smoothly.
RESUMO
@#Thioredoxin reductase(TrxR)is a seleniferous homodimeric flavoenzyme, which is ubiquitously expressed in all cells and plays a crucial role in the redox regulation of numerous celluar signaling pathways involved in cell survival and proliferation. TrxR maintains cellular redox equilibrium. Recent researches have illuminated that TrxR overexpressed in many tumors, is closely associated with the evolution, progression and apoptosis of tumor. TrxR contains a reactive and solvent accessible selenocysteine residue which is located on a flexible C-terminal arm of the protein. This selenocysteine is essentially involved in the catalytic cycle of TrxR and thus represents an attractive binding site for inhibitors. The TrxR inhibitors as novel target-drug in cancer therapy have been extensively studied and elucidated. This article summarized the latest progress in TrxR inhibitors according to the binding capacity of TrxR and substrate.

RESUMO
Telomerase can inhibit the shortening of telomere and stimulate continuous cell proliferation to form tumor.The activity of telomerase can be prohibited by G-quadruplex formed by the single chain in G-rich field of telomere 3' end, resulting in tumor cell apoptosis.Ligands which can induce the formation or stabilize the structure of G-quadruplex in G-rich field of oncogene exhibit antitumor function. Nowadays it becomes the core concern of chemists and biologists to screen and structurally design the compounds targeting G-quadruplex.This paper summarized the discoveries in the G-quadruplex-targeted telomerase inhibitors in recent years.
RESUMO
Objective: To design and synthesize conjugates of polyglutamic acid and gemcitabine with different amino acids as linkers, and through changing the structure to control the release of free drug and improve antitumor activity. Methods: First, the amino acid esters formed with 3′-OH or 5′-OH of gemcitabine were synthesized, and then the free amino groups of amino acid esters were conjugated with the carboxyl groups in polyglutamic acid to obtain the object conjugate of polyglutamic acid and gemcitabine with different amino acids as linkers. The content of gemcitabine in the conjugates was determined by UV. The release rate of free drug from the conjugates was determined by HPLC. Results and Conclusion: 11 novel conjugates were synthesized with gemcitabine content of 25%-30%. In vitro drug release experiment results revealed that gemcitabine could be released from the conjugates steadily. Conjugates with different amino acids as linkers exhibited different drug release rate. PG-Ala-3′-Gem can release 50% of gemcitabine in 4 h, but PG-Val-3′-Gem and PG-Ala-5′-Gem only can release 30.3% or 43.5% of gemcitabine in 48 h,respectively. The drug release rate in blood is faster than that in water solution.

RESUMO
AIM Fas system plays an important role in the mechanism of immune escape and counterattack of colon cancer cells. This study was to investigate the influence of anti-tumor drugs on Fas, Fas ligand expressions on colon cancer cells. METHODS MTT method was used to get the inhibition concentration 50%(IC_ 50 ) of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), mitomycin (MMC), cisplatin (CP) to SW480. The concentrations of anti-tumor drugs were 0, 0.5 IC_ 50 , IC_ 50 , 2 IC_ 50 , respectively. Immmunocytochemical staining and flow cytometry analysis were used to detect the expression rates of Fas and FasL on SW480 cells before and after 5-Fu, MMC, CP treatments. In situ hybridyzation was used to observe Fas, FasL mRNA in SW480 cells before and after treatments. RESULTS IC_ 50 of 5-Fu, MMC, CP to SW480 were 11.70, 3.12, 3.40 mg?L -1 , respectively. Both immmunocytochemical staining and flow cytometry analysis found that without drug treatments SW480 expressed high FasL and low Fas, after the treatment of 5-Fu, Fas expression rates on SW480 increased but FasL remained unchanged; both Fas and FasL increased after the treatment of MMC or CP. In situ hybridization showed that after the treatment of 5-Fu and Fas mRNA on SW480 increased while FasL mRNA remained unchanged; both Fas mRNA and FasL increased after the treatment of MMC or CP. CONCLUSION Anti-tumor drugs can change the expression of Fas system on SW480 cells in different ways. MMC and CP can increase the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to apoptosis signals; at the same time, they possibly facilitate immune escape of tumor cells. However, 5-Fu does not have influence on immune escape of colon cancer cells. The target point is at the level of transcription or above it.-
