摘要 目的：研究乳腺癌患者新辅助化疗（NAC）后达到腋窝淋巴结病理完全缓解（pathologic complete response of axillary,apCR）的远期生存以及影响远期生存的相关因素分析。方法：回顾性分析哈尔滨医科大学附属肿瘤医院乳腺外科624例乳腺癌患者的住院资料,采用Kaplan-Meier生存分析以及COX回归分析的统计学分析方法,分析乳腺癌患者新辅助化疗后腋窝状态与无病生存（DFS）和总生存（OS）的关系及影响apCR预后的因素。结果：apCR与非apCR患者比较DFS（P=0.013）和OS（P=0.037）差异具有统计学意义,apCR患者的预后与年龄、肿瘤大小、肿瘤受体状态、HER-2、ki67状态、分子分型等因素无相关性。结论：与非apCR患者相比,乳腺癌患者新辅助化疗后apCR患者预后更好,但apCR患者预后良好的因素仍需进一步临床试验分析。     

Progress of Gastric Cancer Surgery in the era of Precision Medicine

With the development of genomics, the update of modern imaging technology and the advent of artificial intelligence and big data, the surgical treatment of gastric cancer has gradually stepped into precision medicine. Precision surgery treatment of gastric cancer is based on accurate molecular typing and staging using modern molecular diagnostic technology and imaging, and the formulation of precise and individualized surgical treatment plans, with the concept of minimally invasive and accelerated rehabilitation surgery running through it. For intermediate-stage gastric cancer, we have adopted a comprehensive treatment approach including traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Utilize artificial intelligence and big data technology to improve the standardization and interconnectivity of specialty data and realize the transformation of evidence-based medicine. Promoting the standardization, standardization and individualization of gastric cancer surgical treatment, providing patients with precise diagnosis and treatment, and further improving patients'' prognosis are the opportunities and challenges in the development of gastric cancer surgery.     

Predictive markers of safety and immunogenicity of adjuvanted vaccines

Vaccination represents one of the greatest public health triumphs; in part due to the effect of adjuvants that have been included in vaccine preparations to boost the immune responses through different mechanisms. Although a variety of novel adjuvants have been under development, only a limited number have been approved by regulatory authorities for human vaccines. This report reflects the conclusions of a group of scientists from academia, regulatory agencies and industry who attended a conference on the current state of the art in the adjuvant field. Held at the U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) in Rockville, Maryland, USA, from 18 to 19 April 2013 and organized by the International Association for Biologicals (IABS), the conference focused particularly on the future development of effective adjuvants and adjuvanted vaccines and on overcoming major hurdles, such as safety and immunogenicity assessment, as well as regulatory scrutiny. More information on the conference output can be found on the IABS website, http://www.iabs.org/.     

MDR1 mRNA expression and MDR1 gene variants as predictors of response to chemotherapy in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia: a meta-analysis

Abstract

Data from 30 pharmacogenomic studies that investigated MDR1 mRNA expression or gene variants (C3435T, G2677TA, C1236T) and response to therapy in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) were synthesized. Anthracycline-based regimens were mainly used. MDR1 mRNA overexpression was associated with poor response to therapy [odds ratio (OR)?=?2.49 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.38–4.50]. The gene variants were not associated with response to treatment; the generalized ORs, a genetic model-free approach, for the variants C3435T, G2677TA and C1236T were OR_G?=?0.86 (95% CI 0.55–1.37), OR_G?=?0.97 (95% CI 0.58–1.64) and OR_G?=?1.17 (95% CI 0.75--1.83), respectively. There is indication that MDR1 mRNA expression may be considered as a potential marker for response to chemotherapy in AML patients.     

Impact of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy on Hsp27 protein expression in serum of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis

Despite the strong rationale for combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, thermotolerance and chemoresistance might result from heat shock protein overexpression. The aim of the present study was thus to determine whether the heat shock protein 27 (Hsp27), a potential factor in resistance to treatment, could have a higher level in serum from patients under this combined therapy. Patients receiving CRS plus HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis (group 1), patients with cancer or a history of cancer undergoing abdominal surgery (group 2), and patients without malignancies undergoing abdominal surgery (group 3) were included. Hsp27 serum levels were determined before and at different times following CRS and HIPEC using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In group 1 (n = 25), the high Hsp27 levels, observed at the end of surgery compared with before (p < 0.0001), decreased during HIPEC, but remained significantly higher than before surgery (p < 0.0005). In groups 2 (n = 11) and 3 (n = 15), surgery did not significantly increase Hsp27 levels. A targeted molecular strategy, inhibiting Hsp27 expression in tumor tissue, could significantly reduce resistance to the combined CRS plus HIPEC treatment. This approach should be further assessed in a clinical phase I trial.

Targeting HMGB1-mediated autophagy as a novel therapeutic strategy for osteosarcoma

Autophagy is a catabolic process critical to maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to cytotoxic insult. Autophagy is recognized as “programmed cell survival” in contrast to apoptosis or programmed cell death. Upregulation of autophagy has been observed in many types of cancers and has been demonstrated to both promote and inhibit antitumor drug resistance depending to a large extent on the nature and duration of the treatment-induced metabolic stress as well as the tumor type. Cisplatin, doxorubicin and methotrexate are commonly used anticancer drugs in osteosarcoma, the most common form of childhood and adolescent cancer. Our recent study demonstrated that high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1)-mediated autophagy is a significant contributor to drug resistance in osteosarcoma cells. Inhibition of both HMGB1 and autophagy increase the drug sensitivity of osteosarcoma cells in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the ULK1-FIP200 complex is required for the interaction between HMGB1 and BECN1, which then promotes BECN1-PtdIns3KC3 complex formation during autophagy. Thus, these findings provide a novel mechanism of osteosarcoma resistance to therapy facilitated by HMGB1-mediated autophagy and provide a new target for the control of drug-resistant osteosarcoma patients.

Combined effects of avasimibe immunotherapy,doxorubicin chemotherapy,and metal–organic frameworks nanoparticles on breast cancer

CD8⁺ T cells play a vital role in cancer immunotherapy and can be shaped by metabolism. Avasimibe is an acyl coenzyme A-cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor, which has been clinically verified safe in other phase Ⅲ clinical trials. It can potentiate the killing function of CD8⁺ T cells by modulating cholesterol metabolism. Doxorubicin (DOX) is an anticancer drug widely used in many cancers to induce tumor cell apoptosis. Unfortunately, DOX also can induce toxic and side effects in many organs, compromising its usage and efficacy. Herein, we report the combinational usage of avasimibe and a safe pH sensitive nano-drug delivery system composing of DOX and metal–organic frameworks nanoparticles (MNPs). Our findings demonstrated that DOX–MNPs treatment inhibited tumor growth with good safety profile and avasimibe treatment combined DOX–MNPs treatment exhibited a better efficacy than monotherapies in 4T1 breast cancer therapy.
