RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of 5,10-methylenetetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism on the adverse reactions in patients with osteosarcoma after the first high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) treatment. METHODS A prospective study was conducted to include 53 patients with osteosarcoma treated with HD-MTX at the first admission in General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command. The dose of MTX was evaluated according to the polymorphism of rs1801133 in the METHFR gene and demographic factors, then whole pharmaceutical monitoring was conducted. The data on liver toxicity, renal toxicity, hematological toxicity, and gastrointestinal reaction were collected after the first chemotherapy cycle. Single factor analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between MTX dose, 24 h blood drug concentration, and rs1801133 locus genotype with four adverse reactions. RESULTS The MTX dosage in patients with CC wild type was significantly higher than that in TT mutant type (7.97 g/m2 vs. 6.98 g/m2, P=0.030), but this difference did not affect the 0 h and 24 h blood drug concentrations of MTX. The above four adverse reactions were not related to the dose of MTX. The results of binary Logistic regression analysis showed that carrying one T allele increased the risk of developing hematological toxicity by 4.13 times(95% confidence interval:1.35-12.62,P=0.013). When 24 h plasma concentration threshold of MTX was set to 2.65 µmol/L, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting liver function damage were 53.33% and 86.96%, respectively; when the threshold was set to 7.28 μmol/L, the sensitivity and specificity of predicting renal damage were 100% and 81.63%. CONCLUSIONS The polymorphism of the rs1801133 in the MTHFR gene is associated with hematological toxicity of MTX. Patients who take HD-MTX for the first time and carry the T allele have a high risk of hematological toxicity. The 24 h plasma concentration of MTX is related to liver toxicity and renal toxicity. In addition, monitoring the 24 h blood drug concentration can predict liver and renal toxicity, and take early intervention.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the function of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) in safflower flavonoid, especially hydroxysafflower yellow A (HSYA) biosynthesis. Methods SDRs involved in HSYA biosynthesis pathway were screened based on safflower transcriptome database and metabolome database. The expression pattern was analyzed by qRT-PCR. The overexpression vector was constructed by seamless cloning technology, then genetically transformed to the Yunnan Weishan safflower strain by Agrobacterium gv3101. The transgenic T2 generation plants were positively verified, and the gene expression of corolla SDRs was analyzed. The content of secondary metabolites was assayed by UPLC-Q-TOF/MS. Results Three SDRs genes named CtSDR1, CtSDR2 and CtSDR3 involved in HSYA biosynthesis pathway were screened. Their expression in safflower from high to low was corolla > leaf > stem > root. The expression level in corolla increased gradually with corolla development. qRT-PCR analysis of corolla with positive verification of genome insertion sequence showed that the transcription level of CtSDR3 in corolla of T2 positive plants increased by 2~3 times compared with the blank control group, and the content of secondary metabolite HSYA increased by 7.1%~16.6% (P< 0.05). Conclusion CtSDR3 may be involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, especially HSYA, in safflower. It provides the support data for explaining the function of CtSDR3 in HSYA biosynthesis pathway.

RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of clinical pharmacist in individualized treatment for osteosarcoma patients with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). METHODS: An osteosarcoma patient was admitted to our hospital and then suffered from PJI after operation. Clinical pharmacist adjusted the initial anti-infection plan and carried out pharmaceutical care according to the results of patients’ etiology and drug sensitivity. According to the PK-PD principle, combined with the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), the dose of antibiotics was adjusted. With the occurrence of ADR, the antibiotic therapeutic regimen was adjusted again. RESULTS: The patient was administrated cefotiam for empiric therapy initially after the diagnosis of PJI. After obtaining the results of etiology and drug sensitivity, the clinical pharmacist suggested that vancomycin sensitive to penicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis should be used for targeted anti-infection treatment. After adjusting the dosage according to the steady-state valley concentration, the patient had slight liver function damage, accompanied with chest tightness and shortness of breath. After analysis, the clinical pharmacist considered the adverse drug reactions related to vancomycin, and again suggested that the patient should be treated with teicoplanin. After the doctor adopted the treatment plan recommended by the clinical pharmacist, PJI of the patient was effectively controlled, and the adverse reaction symptoms disappeared. The patient was effectively cured for PJI and discharged eventually. During the treatment period, the clinical pharmacist also carried out medication education for the drugs used by the patient. CONCLUSIONS: Clinical pharmacist should master the principle of antibiotic drug PK-PD theory and evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of anti-infective drugs dynamically based on the guidance of TDM, so as to develop individualized anti-infection therapeutic regimen for osteosarcoma patient with PJI, improve the effect of clinical treatment and guarantee the safety of drug use.

RESUMEN
Insertional mutagenesis is a widely used method to determine the function(s) of a gene. To study the function(s) of the gene nsdAmgh in Streptomyces roseoflavus, a homologous recombination vector pSRNA2500 was structured in this paper. The recombination donor vector was then transformed into Strempomyces roseoflavus strain Men-myco-93-63 by conjugative transfer. The transformants were subjected to selection under the pressure of high temperature and appropriate antibiotics. As a result, several disrupted mutants of nsdAmgh gene, with a phenotype of Am(s)Km(r), were isolated and verified using PCR and Dot-blotting and Southern blotting hybridization methods. Functional analysis showed that the disrupted mutants of nsdAmgh had a two-fold higher inhibition against Verticillium dahlia Kleb than that of the wild strain Men-myco-93-63, which all will provide a new study route for future research about positive and negative regulator in Men-myco-93-63.

RESUMEN
Objective To elucidate the expression of gankyrin in human gastric cancer cells and it's role in nimesulide induced apoptosis. Methods Four human gastric cancer cell lines including MKN28 (well differentiated), AGS (poorly differentiated), MKN45 (poorly differentiated), and SGC7901(moderately differentiated) were cultured and treated with nimesulide. Nimesulide induced growth inhibition and apoptosis of the cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, and confirmed by flow cytometry. The expressions of gankyrin gene and protein were further assessed by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Results Gankyrin mRNA and protein were detected in all four human gastric cancer cell lines. The proliferations of AGS and SGC7901 cell lines were significantly suppressed by nimesulide in a time-dose dependent manner. When treated with 400 μmol/L of nimesulide for 48 hours, the significant apoptosis was found in AGS cells (23.30%±2.50%) and SGC7901 cells (16.80%±1.55% ) in comparison with controls (0.57%±0.19% and 0.88%± 0.17%, respectively, all P values <0.01). Apoptosis of AGS cells induced by nimesulide was accompanied by a considerably decreased gankyrin expression that was more significant at 24 hours (0.0035±0.0014) and 36 hours (0.0980±0.0160) in comparison with controls (0.4690±0.1190, all P values<0.01). Conclusion Gankyrin expresses in human gastric cancer cell lines and may be involved in nimesulide induced apoptosis of AGS cells.

RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the combined inhibition effect and the potential mechanism of rapamycin (mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor) and PD98059 (mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitor) on mouse colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods S-ICR mice were subcutaneously injected with 20 mg/kg of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride in the nape for 20 weeks to induce CRC. From the 16th week, the mice were treated with alone or combined injection with 0.25 mg/kg rapamycin and 2.5 mg/kg PD98059. The drugs were administered for 8 weeks. Subsequently, the animals were sacrificed and dissected, the tumor sizes were measured, and the tumors were harvested for pathological assay. Furthermore, the phosphorylation of mTOR, p70S6K, and 4E-BPl proteins was detected by using immunohistoehemistry. Results The mice treated with rapamycin (44. 44 %) or PD 98059 (either alone (38.89%) or combination treatment (6.67%) were significantly less likely to develop cancer compared with mice receiving none of them (77.78%, P<0. 05). The average size of tumors was (6.15±2. 192), (8.85±3. 983), (2.917±0. 191), (16.36±6.855) mm3 respectively (P<0.05).The anti-cancer effect of the combination treatment was substantially significant. The proteins of phospho-mTOR, phospho-p70s6K and phospho-4E-BPl were significantly down-regulated after treatments (all P values < ,0.05). Conclusions Combined treatment was more effective than single-drug treatments of rapamycin or PD98059 alone for the prevention and treatment of mouse CRC. The mTOR signal pathway might be involved in the inhibitory mechanism.
RESUMEN
A method was developed for the determination of furocoumarin compounds(psoralen, oxypeucedanin, imperatorin, isoimperatorin) in traditional Chinese medicine samples by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction(DLLME) coupled with high performance liquid chromatography and the relation of sample solution volume, sediment phase volume with enrichment factors was deducted. Some important parameters that influenced the extraction efficiency were optimized: 50 μL carbon tetrachloride and 300 μL acetonitrile were rapidly injected into 1.5 mL sample solution containing 2.5%(w/V) NaCl. After centrifugation at 3500 r/min for 3 min, the sedimented CCl_4 phase was pumped and recorded the volume, then dissolved with methanol and injected into the HPLC for analysis. Under the optimum conditions, a good linear relationship was obtained in the range of 0.006 6.00 mg/L of both psoralen and oxypeucedanin and 0.006-12.0 mg/L of both imperatorin and isoimperatorin. The limits of detection were 1.0-3.0 μg/L(S/N=3). The relative standard deviations were 2.3%-5.4%(n=5). The enrichment factors ranged from 12.6 to 38.5 folds. The average recoveries ranged from 97.5% to 114.8%. The four kinds of furocoumarin compounds in Radix Angelicae dahuricae and Yuanhu Zhitong tablet were determined by the proposed method with satisfactory results.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the correlation of tumor growth and endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) entering blood induced by surgical injury in tumor bearing nude mice. Methods Forty-two tumor bearing nude mice were randomly divided into seven groups (n=6): non-surgical injury groups (1 d and 30 d), anesthetic group, surgical injury groups (24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 30 d after surgery). Blood samples and xenograft tumor tissues were taken from anesthetic group 24 h after anaesthesia and surgical injury groups 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 30 d after surgery. EPC levels in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry, serum VEGF levels were determined by ELISA, microvessel density (MVD) and expression of VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The levels of EPC in 24 h post-surgery group, 48 h post-surgery group and 72 h post-surgery group were significantly higher than that in non-surgical injury 1 d group (P<0.05). The levels of VEGF in 24 h post-surgery group, 48 h post-surgery group, 72 h post-surgery group and anesthetic group were significantly higher than that in non-surgical injury 1 d group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in MVD among groups (P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that serum VEGF levels were related to EPC levels in peripheral blood (r=0.695 6, P<0.01), while EPC levels in peripheral blood were not related to MVD (r=0.221 4, P>0.05), and serum VEGF levels had no correlation with MVD (r=0.224 9, P>0.05). Conclusion Surgical injury has no obvious influence on xenograft tumor growth.
RESUMEN
Objective To elucidate the effect of clavulanic acid (CLA) in suppressing the antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) to metronidazole (MZ) and its mechanism. Methods All Hp strains were isolated from biopsy specimens taken endoscopically and random amplified polymorphic DNA assay (RAPD) was used to certificate the distinct origin of these strains. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of CLA and MZ aganst Hp were determined by using agar dilution procedure and Epailometer test (E-test). The effect of CLA on the morphology of Hp was examined by transmission electron microscopy. Fluorescein-C6-aminopenicillanic acid (FLU-C6-APA) competition assay was used to detect the binding between CLA and penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). Results Eleven strains were isolated. In vitro CLA could decrease the MIC of MZ resistant(1.442±0.459 vs 0.376±0.288, P=0.0077), but not affect the MIC for MZ sensitive strains significantly (P>0.05). Exposure to CLA resulted in morphological changes of Hp, including cell wall disintegration and cell lysis. Furthermore, CLA inhibited the binding of FLU-C6-APA to PBPs(30.5-33.5×103). Conclusions CLA suppresses the antibiotic resistance of Hp to MZ through its binding with PBPs which results in the morphology changes of Hp.
