Objective To investigate the protective effects of antitumor necrosis factor-α antibody （TNF-αAb） on lung injury after cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB） and their mechanisms. Methods Forty healthy New Zealand white rabbits，weighting 2.0-2.5 kg，male or female，were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rabbits in each group. In groupⅠ，the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion. In group Ⅱ，the rabbits received CPB and pulmonary arterial perfusion with TNF-αAb. In group Ⅲ，the rabbits received CPB only. In group Ⅳ，the rabbits only received sham surgery. Neutrophils count，TNF-α and malondialdehyde （MDA） concentrations of the blood samples from the left and right atrium as well as oxygenation index were examined before and after CPB in the 4 groups. Pathological and ultrastructural changes of the lung tissues were observed under light and electron microscopes. Lung water content，TNF-α mRNA and apoptoticindex of the lung tissues were measured at different time points. Results Compared with group Ⅳ，after CPB，the rabbitsin group Ⅰ to group Ⅲ showed significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count，TNF-α and MDA（P＜0.05），higherTNF-α mRNA expression，apoptosis index and water content of the lung tissues （P＜0.05），and significantly lower oxyg-enation index （P＜0.05） as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with group Ⅱ，after CPB，the rabbits in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ had significantly higher blood concentrations of TNF-α （5 minutes after aortic declamping，220.43±16.44 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml，P＜0.05；249.99±14.09 pg/ml vs.185.27±11.78 pg/ml，P＜0.05），significantly higher apoptosis index （at the time of CPB termination，60.7‰±13.09‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰，P＜0.05；59.6‰±7.74‰ vs. 37.9‰±7.78‰，P＜0.05），significantly higher blood levels of neutrophils count and MDA （P＜0.05），significantly higher TNF-α mRNA expression and water content of the lung tissues （P＜0.05），and significantly loweroxygenation index （P＜0.05） as well as considerable pathomorphological changes in the lung tissues. Compared with groupⅠ，rabbits in group Ⅲ had significantly higher above parameters （P＜0.05） but lower oxygenation index （P＜0.05） only at 30 minutes after the start of CPB. Conclusion Pulmonary artery perfusion with TNF-αAb can significantly attenuate inflammatory lung injury and apoptosis of the lung tissues during CPB.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk of myocarditis caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). MethodsThe adverse reaction (ADR) reports on myocarditis caused by atelizumab, duvalizumab, pabolizumab, and navulizumab were downloaded from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2022. The relevant analysis was conducted on the gender, age, medication dosage, and occurrence time of ICI related myocarditis patients. ResultsA total of 1 892 reports of myocarditis induced by ICI were included. The proportion of myocarditis caused by ICI was higher in males than in females (1.9∶1). The incidence of myocarditis in patients with basic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and in the age group 65-75 was relatively high. The incidence of myocarditis caused by navulizumab was high within 30 days with the use of conventional doses, and that of the other three drugs were high within 31 to 90 days. And the incidence of myocarditis is higher when used in combination than when used alone. ConclusionDifferent varieties of ICI can lead to the occurrence of myocarditis, and male, elderly, underlying diseases, and combination therapy may be risk factors for myocarditis caused by ICI.
Objective To investigate the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of natural medicine artemisinin and its derivatives. Methods The pertinent domestic and overseas literatures of recent years were reviewed and summarized. Results Artemisinin and its derivatives have unique structure, high efficiency with low toxicity. The pharmacological effects include anti-malaria, anti-tumor, immune function regulation, anti-bacterial, anti-fetation, anti-fibrosis, heat-clearing and detoxicating, etc. Conclusion Artemisinin and its derivatives play pharmacological effects in different ways, and have a good foreground in the application.
ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of lignans-1inhibiting the proliferation of human gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. MethodsThe morphological changes of the cells were observed by the inverted phase contrast microscope. The cell surviving ratio was determined by methylthiazoly tetrazolium (MTT) assay after lignans-1 added to the cells at different concentrations on human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line in vitro, and half maximal (50%) inhibitory concentration (IC50) values were calculated. The cell cycle phase distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry. The expressions of apoptosis associated proteins of Caspase3, Bcl-2 and Bax were determined by Western blot. ResultsMorphological examination showed that lignans-1 could destroy the SGC-7901 cells with the increasing concentration of lignans-1. The inhibitory effect of lignans-1 on SGC-7901 cell was associated with time-and dose-dependent manner at the different concentration (2.5-20 μg/mL), P < 0.05. The IC50 of lignans-1 on the SGC-7901 cells was 4.19 μg/mL. The rate of the apoptosis cells and G2/M phase cells raised significantly after 48 hours' treatment with lignans-1, as same as the expression of Caspase3 and Bax (P < 0.05). G0/G1 phase cells and Bcl-2 decreased significantly with the increasing concentration of lignans-1 (P < 0.05). ConclusionsThe lignans-1 could inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells and induce apoptosis by arresting cells at G2/M phase in vitro. The mechanism is associated with activation of Caspase3 and Bax and inhibition of Bcl-2.
Objective To provide an overview of the main anti-tumor mechanisms of attenuated Salmonella typhimurium（ST） and explore potential reasons for the limited clinical application of attenuated ST. Methods The literatures related to clinical and basic research on attenuated ST tumor treatment and virulence at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed and the relevant mechanisms of attenuated ST tumor treatment were summarized. And then, analyses were made regarding the failure of clinical application experiments of attenuated ST based on the characteristics of attenuated ST and the human immune microenvironment. Results Attenuated ST could inhibit the growth of primary tumors and reduce the metastasis of secondary tumor due to its effect of tumor-targeting, its property of facultative anaerobic and its characteristic of being able to carry plasmids. On the other hand, the toxicity of wild strains to hosts had been reduced through biotechnology. In terms of clinical application, the anti-tumor effect of attenuated ST was far lower than expected due to excessive detoxification of ST, the elimination effect of foreign substances by the human immune system, and the inactivation effect of various proteases in the body. Conclusion As an emerging bacterial mediated anti-tumor therapy, attenuated ST will provide a new treatment option for precise treatment of cancer patients once its clinical application problems are solved.
We compared the sensitivities of human embryo conjtmctival fihroblasts(HECF)and rabbit conjunctival fibroblasts(RCF)m five anlineoplasties in vitro.When the concentration of vincrismum and doxorubicin was 0.001~10mg/L.5-FU was 1~1000mg/L and cisplatin was 0.01~10mg/L,the sensitivities of HECF to tile drugs were lower than that of RCF (Plt;0.01).while the difference of the sensitivilics be;ween HECF and RCF to VP-16 was not significant (P＜0.05). The results suggested that the selection of therapeutic agents for intraocular proliferative disease wilh'hunmn conjunctiva fihroblasts may be more valuable than that with RCF. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:223-225）
ObjectiveTo recognize the latest research progress of immunotherapy for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). MethodThe domestic and international literature on immunotherapy for AGC in recent years were retrieved and reviewed. ResultsThe immunotherapy for AGC mainly focused on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), cellular immunity, and antitumor vaccines. The most immunotherapy researched was ICIs, especially for programmed death protein-1 / programmed death protein ligand 1, cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen 4, and lymphocyte activating gene 3. The cellular immunotherapy and tumor vaccine therapy were less relatively. Although immunotherapy alone did not have a particularly good effect, its therapeutic effect was not inferior to that of chemotherapy alone and the incidence of adverse reactions was lower. Moreover, most studies had concluded that the use of immunotherapy in combination with other therapy had shown a good clinical efficacy, especially in combination with anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 antibody, and chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting Claudin 18.2 site had promising results in the AGC. ConclusionsWith the development of immunotherapy research, the strategies of immunotherapy for AGC are also constantly improving. Precision medicine is important in the process of immunotherapy. Targeted screening suitable patients and adopting precise treatment can further benefit the survival of patients with AGC.
