慢性肾衰竭血清瘦素、胰岛素样生长因子—1水平及意义瘦素(Leptin)是近几年来发现的一种由脂肪细胞产生的蛋白,它对调节机体食欲、体重和器官的能量消耗有重要作用。
肾脏是瘦素清除的主要器官,同时瘦素又可对肾脏直接发挥作用。
瘦素是慢性肾功能不全(CRF)时体内聚积的毒素之一,它与胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)共同作用于慢性肾功能衰竭患者的营养状况。
本文主要探讨慢性肾功能衰竭(CRF)血清瘦素和IGF-1的水平及意义。
一瘦素研究概况1994年hzang等首次鉴定并克隆出了人的肥胖基因,其与小鼠具有高度同源性,同时发现该基因编码的一种含167个酸的蛋白,分子量为16KD,为ob基因的表达产物,被命名为瘦(Leptin)[1]。
瘦素的生理功能包括:感受机营养状态[2],进而抑制食物摄入:刺激或维持能量消耗;影响生殖泌系统;作为一种代谢激素促进一系列代谢过程,如胰岛素释放、糖的解作用、转运等。
瘦素缺乏或瘦素受体缺陷可导胖和垂体功能异常。
二 RCF患者血浆瘦素的变化及影响因素近期的研究认为肾功能衰竭患者同肥胖患者一样,血浆瘦素水平常明显高于正常。
由于瘦素分子量是16KD,可能通过肾小球滤过,假设人的瘦素清肾脏,那么有人做了这方面的研究,KumarS等测定了不同程度能损伤患者的主动脉和肾静脉血浆瘦素水平,发现瘦素的清除在与肾功能有关,同时连续测量通过肾脏的不同浓度和肾血流比率,计算出肾脏瘦素的净排出率为480ng/min,同时也发现在中度肾损伤患者肾脏没有瘦素清除[3],另外监测到尿的瘦素水平低也表明在肾脏降解。
人体处于炎症状态时常常会表现食欲下降,有人用CRP(反应蛋白)增高代表机体存在炎症,研究发现尿毒症患者CRP瘦素确有相关关系,CRP高的患者往往血浆瘦素水平也高。
同时调查蛋白质摄入情况发现,CRP高的患者蛋白质摄入明显低于CRP正常患者。
提示炎症所致的食欲下降与它引起的瘦素增高有关[4]。
三瘦素水平相对增高对CRF病人的影响瘦素对慢性肾衰患者的不利影响可能不止是对机体营养状态的,瘦素增高交感神经兴奋性可能参与了慢性肾衰患者的血压异常,并且因为瘦素无法有效清除而致血压难以控制;慢性肾衰患者高瘦素血症与高胰岛素血症可能互为因果,互相促进;可能导致高脂血症。

抗肿瘤肽的研究及应用Anticancer Peptides: Research and ApplicationAbstract: Anticancer peptides are a promising class of therapeutic molecules that have gained increasing attention in the field of cancer treatment due to their selectivity and potency against cancer cells. In this article, we discuss the latest research and applications of anticancer peptides, including their sources, mechanisms of action, and promising preclinical and clinical data. We also examine the challenges and opportunities facing the field of anticancer peptides.Keywords: anticancer peptides, cancer therapy, peptide drugs, mechanism of action, preclinical research, clinical trials. IntroductionCancer is a major global health challenge, and traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery have limitations due to their nonspecific nature and adverse side effects. Anticancer peptides, on the other hand, are a promising class of therapeutic molecules that have shown to be selective and effective against cancer cells with less toxicity. In this review, we discuss the latest research on anticancer peptides, including their sources, mechanisms of action, and promising preclinical and clinical data.Sources of Anticancer PeptidesAnticancer peptides can be found in a variety of sources, includingthe natural defense systems of animals, plants, and microbes, as well as designed peptides based on natural sequences. For example, the amphibian-derived peptide dermaseptin has been shown to exhibit potent anticancer activity through disruption of cancer cell membranes. Similarly, plant-derived peptides such as thionins and cyclotides have shown cytotoxic activity against cancer cells dueto their ability to penetrate the cell membrane. Microbial peptides such as lacticin 3147, designed based on bacterial lantibiotic peptides, have also demonstrated anticancer activity through multiple mechanisms of action.Mechanisms of ActionAnticancer peptides exert their cytotoxic effects through multiple mechanisms of action, including apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, and senescence. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death mechanism that is activated when a cell is damaged, stressed, or infected. Anticancer peptides can induce apoptosis in cancer cells through various molecular pathways, such as mitochondrial pathway, death receptor pathway, and caspase-independent pathway. Autophagy is a process by which cells recycle damaged or unwanted cellular components through lysosomal degradation. Anticancer peptides such as tachyplesin can induce autophagy in cancer cells, leadingto their death. Necrosis is an uncontrolled form of cell death that occurs after severe cellular trauma or stress. Anticancer peptides can also induce necrosis in cancer cells through their ability to disrupt cell membranes. Senescence is a cellular state of irreversible growth arrest that can prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. Anticancer peptides such as p28 can induce senescence in cancer cells, leading to their growth arrest.Preclinical and Clinical DataPreclinical research on anticancer peptides has shown promising results in vitro and in animal models. For example, the amphibian-derived peptide caerin has shown potent anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines in vitro and reduced tumor growth in mouse xenograft models. Similarly, the microbial peptide lacticin 3147 has shown selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells in vitro and improved survival in mouse models of breast cancer. In addition, several natural and designed peptides have been found to have synergistic effects when combined with conventional chemotherapy drugs.Several anticancer peptides have also advanced to clinical trials, with some showing promising results. For example, the octapeptide d(KLAKLAK)2, which induces apoptosis in cancer cells, has been tested in phase I and phase II clinical trials for treatment of various types of cancer, including glioblastoma and multiple myeloma. Similarly, the cyclic peptide tasidotin has been tested in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with promising results.Challenges and OpportunitiesDespite the promise of anticancer peptides, several challenges remain in their development and application. One challenge is the optimization of peptide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including their stability, bioavailability, and selective targeting of cancer cells over normal cells. Another challenge is the high costof peptide production and purification, which can limit their accessibility and affordability. Furthermore, a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance to anticancer peptidesis needed to select patients who are most likely to benefit from these therapies.In conclusion, anticancer peptides represent a promising class of therapeutic molecules for the treatment of cancer, with multiple mechanisms of action and potential for combination therapy. While several peptides have shown promising preclinical and clinical results, further research is needed to optimize their efficacy and safety for widespread clinical application.参考文献:1.

Anticancer peptides: from design to clinic.Chemotherapy. 2017; 62(1): 1-13.Optimization of Peptide Pharmacokinetics and PharmacodynamicsOne of the major obstacles in the development of anticancer peptides is the optimization of their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Peptides are generally less stable and have shorter half-lives than small molecule drugs, which can result in lower bioavailability and poorer pharmacokinetic properties. Peptide stability can be improved through modifications such as cyclization, amino acid substitutions, and the addition of chemical groups such as acetylation or amidation. Peptide bioavailability can be improved through formulations such as liposomes, nanoparticles, or conjugation to other molecules. In addition, selective targeting of cancer cells over normal cells can be achieved through conjugation to tumor-targeting peptides or antibodies.Cost of Peptide Production and PurificationAnother challenge in the development of anticancer peptides is the high cost of peptide production and purification. Peptide synthesis is often complex and time-consuming, requiring multiple steps and specialized equipment. In addition, peptide purification can also be challenging, as peptides can be difficult to separate from impurities. Strategies to reduce the cost of peptide production and purification include developing simplified synthesis methods or producing peptides using recombinant technologies, such as expression in bacteria or yeast.Mechanisms of Action and ResistanceA better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance to anticancer peptides is needed to optimize their efficacy and select patients who are most likely to benefit from these therapies. While the mechanisms of action of many anticancer peptides have been studied extensively, the mechanisms of resistance are less well understood. Mechanisms of resistance can include alterations in cellular uptake or efflux of peptides, changes in peptide binding or recognition by cancer cells, and activation of cellular defense mechanisms such as the unfolded protein response or autophagy.Clinical Testing of Anticancer PeptidesDespite these challenges, several anticancer peptides have advanced to clinical testing, with some showing promising results. The octapeptide d(KLAKLAK)2 has been tested in phase I and phase II clinical trials for treatment of various types of cancer, including glioblastoma and multiple myeloma, and has shown encouraging results. The cyclic peptide tasidotin has been tested in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with promising results. In addition, several other peptides are currently in clinical trials, including AMP-514, a designed antimicrobial peptide with anticancer activity.ConclusionAnticancer peptides are a promising class of therapeutic molecules for the treatment of cancer, with multiple mechanisms of action and potential for combination therapy. While several peptides have shown promising preclinical and clinical results, further research isneeded to optimize their efficacy and safety for widespread clinical application. Optimization of peptide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, reduction of the cost of peptide production and purification, and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance will be crucial for the successful development of anticancer peptides as a new class of cancertherapies.Optimization of Peptide Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:Peptide drugs, including anticancer peptides, face several challenges in terms of their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Peptides are rapidly cleared from the bloodstream and can be rapidly degraded by enzymes, leading to a shorter half-life and lower bioavailability. This makes it difficult to achieve effective concentrations of the drug at the site of action within the body. To overcome these challenges, researchers have developed a range of strategies to enhance the pharmacological properties of peptides. For instance, cyclization or other chemical modifications can promote peptide stability, and conjugation to other molecules such as nanoparticles or polymers or coupling with tumor targeting peptides or antibodies can improve peptide distribution and drug efficacy. However, the optimization process still requires extensive preclinical testing and careful balancing of efficacy, toxicity and pharmacokinetics.Cost of Peptide Production and Purification:The cost of producing and purifying peptides can be prohibitive, particularly for rare or complex sequences of amino acids. Traditional synthetic approaches to peptide synthesis are slow andrequire expensive reagents, while biological methods rely on recombinant protein technology, which has its own limitations. To reduce costs, researchers are exploring alternative routes to peptide synthesis, such as incorporating modifications at the genetic level or using innovative methods such as microfluidics or solid-phase peptide synthesis. Purification of peptides from crude mixtures also presents challenges in terms of optimizing the purity and yield of the final product, with some purification techniques being expensive and time-consuming.Mechanisms of Action and Resistance:The mechanisms of action of anticancer peptides can be complex and varied, and some peptides may exert multiple functions, such as inhibiting tumor cell growth or inducing apoptosis. Understanding the specific mechanisms of action for a given peptide is essential for its clinical development, as well as the identification of potential resistance pathways. Some cancer cells are known to be resistant to some peptide drugs due to changes in cellular uptake or efflux, altered peptide binding or recognition, or activation of cellular defense mechanisms. Researchers are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of resistance to gain deeper insights into how to circumvent these issues.Clinical Testing of Anticancer Peptides:Clinical trials play a critical role in the development of anticancer peptides. Phase I trials are typically used to evaluate the safety and toxicity of a peptide, while Phase II and III trials assess efficacy and drug performance under more realistic treatment scenarios.The clinical testing process for peptides is especially important, given that peptides are a relatively new therapeutic modality and require unique strategies for optimization of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Strategies such as combination therapy are also under investigation to enhance the efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance. In addition, researchers are also exploring different cancer indications, including rare or orphan diseases, to identify new opportunities for the development of anticancer peptides. Overall, anticancer peptides hold huge promise as a new class of cancer therapies with multiple mechanisms of action and potential for combination therapy. While challenges still exist in terms of optimizing peptide pharmacokinetics, reducing costs, and developing a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance, clinical trials are underway, suggesting that these peptides may offer a new and promising approach to fighting cancer in the future.。

Most patients with pancreatic cancer are unable to receive surgery due to the advanced stage. Although chemotherapy regimens based on gemcitabine and fluorouracil have prolonged the survival time of patients to some extent,some patients cannot tolerate chemotherapy and hence lose the opportunity for treatment. With the advent of the era of precision medicine, molecular-targeted therapy has exhibited an excellent therapeutic efficacy and has thus become one of the most important treatment techniques for tumors; however, due to the high heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer and its complicated tumor microenvironment, molecular-targeted therapy for pancreatic cancer has not achieved notable results. Therefore, it is imperative to seek new therapeutic targets and medications to overcome this issue. This article reviews the latest advances in the research on molecular-targeted therapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer based on common molecular targets and tumor immunity-related therapeutic targets, in order to provide new treatment strategies for patients with pancreatic cancer.Key words:Pancreatic Neoplasms; Molecular Targeted Therapy; ImmunotherapyResearch funding:Natural Science Foundation of Hunan Province of China (2020JJ8084)胰腺癌是一种起病隐匿、进展迅速、疗效及预后极差的恶性肿瘤,大多数患者确诊时已经属于晚期。

Methods The incidence of lung infection and distribution characteristics of pathogens were statistically analyzed in the 208 patients with advanced lung cancer admitted to Anqing First People ’s Hospital between March 2019 and December 2021. The drug resis⁃tance of pathogens to antibiotics was analyzed by Kirby-Bauer (K-B) method. The risk factors of lung infection were analyzed by multivariate logistic stepwise regression analysis, and the prediction model for lung infection was constructed based on their regression coefficients. The pre⁃dictive efficiency of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Hosmer-Lemeshow test. Results In the 208 patients with advanced lung cancer, there were 49 cases (23.56%) with lung infection. There were 37 strains of Gram-negative bacte⁃ria (60.66%), 20 strains of Gram-positive bacteria (32.79%) and 4 strains of fungi (6.56%). The drug resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumoniae was low to imipenem, and drug resistance of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococ⁃cus aureus was low to vancomycin and ampicillin. The results of logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that diabetes, hypoproteinemia, KPS score <80 points, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were independent risk factors of lung infection in patients with advanced lung cancer (P <0.05). The prediction model for lung infection was as follows: P =1/1+exp (-2.686+1.566 χdiabetes +1.838 χhypoproteinemia +1.336χKPS score +1.236 χradio⁃therapy+0.874 χchemotherapy ). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the prediction model was 0.817 (P =0.529 in Hosmer-Lemeshow test). Conclu⁃sions The main pathogen of lung infection is Gram-negative bacteria in patients with advanced lung cancer. Diabetes, hypoproteinemia, KPS score <80 points, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are independent risk factors of lung infection. The prediction model for lung infection of ad⁃vanced lung cancer constructed based on the above factors has high predictive efficiency.[Key words ] Advanced lung cancer; Lung infection; Pathogen; Risk factors; Prediction model基金项目:安徽省科学技术厅基金项目(编号:201904a07020016)作者单位:246003 安徽安庆 安庆市第一人民医院检验科通信作者:李小月,***************本文引用格式:王亚平,李小月.晚期肺癌患者肺部感染病原菌特征及预测模型构建和验证[J ].安徽医学,2023,44(4):388-393.DOI :10.3969/j.issn.1000-0399.2023.04.006第 44 卷第 4 期 2023 年4 月388安徽医学Anhui Medical Journal第 44 卷第 4 期2023 年4 月安徽医学Anhui Medical Journal肺癌可分为非小细胞肺癌和小细胞肺癌,肺癌中晚期患者已出现癌细胞扩散或病灶转移[1],可采用化学治疗(简称化疗)和放射治疗(简称放疗)治疗方式,但伴随副作用较强[2]。

)是常见的运动障碍疾病,是一种表现有运动症状(运动迟缓㊁震颤㊁肌强直㊁步态异常)和非运动症状(胃肠功能紊乱㊁认知障碍㊁精神障碍㊁睡眠障碍和感觉障碍)的神经退行性疾病,其病因尚不完全清楚,亦缺乏根治手段㊂近年来, 肠-脑轴 这一概念的提出给包括P D 在内的神经疾病发病机制的探究提供了新思路㊂研究P D 与肠道系统相互联系的途径与其靶点,是丰富P D 研究的重点㊂2型糖尿病(t y pe 2d i a b e t e s m e l l i t u s ,T 2D M )是P D 发病的危险因素,且两者均与淀粉样多肽经过非正常折叠成纤维并随后聚集成淀粉样沉积有关[1]㊂因此,可以假设糖代谢异常可能是P D 的重要机制之一㊂P D 模型研究[2]表明,降糖药物胰高血糖素样肽-1(g l u c a g o n -l i k e p e p t i d e -1,G L P -1)受体激动剂具有神经保护作用㊂其中G L P -1,不只是一种可促进胰岛素信号传导㊁调节血糖水平且抑制食欲的肠促胰岛素激素[3],还是 肠-脑轴 的重要介质之一[4]㊂本文就G L P -1在P D肠-脑轴 中的作用进行综述,进一步探讨G L P -1与P D 的关系,以期为P D 的诊治提供新思路和依据㊂1 P D 的肠-脑轴 在大脑㊁肠道和肠道菌群存在着1种尚未被完全了解的交流系统,即 肠-脑轴 ㊂基于此轴,肠道菌群的改变被证明与一些神经疾病有关,如对P D 来说,肠道菌群的改变就是其突出的特征之一㊂1.1 病理联系 作为P D 黑质中形成的标志性聚集物,α-突触核蛋白(α-s y n u c l e i n ,α-s yn )不只在大脑中表达,且在肠道中也有表达[5];甚至其在肠道中的聚集比在大脑中病理形成更早[6]㊂B r a a k 等[7]提出,P D 是起源于中枢神经系统以外的病理模型㊂在该模型中,α-s yn 的错误折叠起自肠道,并通过迷走神经以朊病毒样的行为方式传至大脑[8]㊂且α-s yn 增加在P D 患者前驱阶段和早期无发病阶段的肠上皮中被发现[9]㊂可见,肠道中出现异常的α-s yn 发生在中枢神经退行性变的临床症状出现前㊂这表明,肠道可能是P D 发生的起源场所㊂虽然B r a a k 的观点备受争议,但中枢神经系统外α-s y n 错误折叠和聚集仍是P D 发病机制的经典假说,同时也是P D 肠-脑轴 的病理基础㊂1.2 肠道中介 细菌及其代谢产物除影响免疫系统外,还影响神经系统㊂F r i e d l a n d 等[10]提出了1个新的术语 m a p r a n o s i s 来描述微生物群相关的蛋白质病和神经炎症的过程( -o s i s )㊂尽管目前还未完全明确影响P D 的肠道菌群,但P D 的肠道状态和健康的肠道状态存在差异㊂临床研究[11]显示,P D 患者肠道出现异常改变,既有肠黏膜通透性增加㊁炎症迹象和受到细菌入侵,同时也有异常肠道菌群组成㊂在过表达α-s yn 小鼠大脑中小胶质细胞的激活和α-s yn 的病理形成及这些小鼠运动缺陷的产生都需肠道菌群参与,说明肠道菌群是P D 的危险因素[12]㊂P D 肠道菌群含有外膜脂多糖(l i p o p o l y s a c c h a r i d e s ,L P S )的细菌之相对丰度增加,而产生短链脂肪酸㊃558㊃‘临床荟萃“ 2023年9月20日第38卷第9期 C l i n i c a l F o c u s ,S e pt e m b e r 20,2023,V o l 38,N o .9(s h o r t-c h a i n f a t t y a c i d s,S C F A)的细菌之相对丰度降低,这是因为含有L P S的细菌与免疫激活和炎症有关,而产生S C F A的细菌与可能存在的抗炎性质有关[13]㊂一方面,L P S等促炎细菌成分激活小胶质细胞引发神经退行性变[14],暴露在L P S的全身效应随肠道屏障缺损(即肠道高渗透性)而增加,这是P D 的1个特征;另一方面,菌群的代谢产物S C F A与神经炎症的减轻㊁神经退行性变的减少和运动功能的改善有一定关系,在P D患者中这些菌群相对丰度往往减少[15]㊂位于肠道里的细菌代谢产物S C F A在P D的 肠-脑轴 假说中也发挥重要作用㊂S C F A的受体既存在于免疫细胞上,也存在于大脑细胞上,这为S C F A介导的 肠-脑轴 提供了物质联系[16]㊂目前,1个探索程度相对较低的机制就是S C F A对神经系统的影响㊂研究[17]发现,S C F A可引起G L P-1分泌,且对P D有神经保护作用㊂以上均提示,肠道菌群及其代谢产物对P D的产生有不可忽视的影响㊂2G L P-1在P D 肠-脑轴 中的作用肠-脑轴 与内分泌激素的产生与释放相关㊂研究[18]表明,T2D M是P D的危险因素,且胰岛素抵抗可能存在于大脑中,是神经退行性疾病的常见特征㊂作为与糖尿病相关的内分泌激素,G L P-1是肠促胰素信号系统成员之一,目前对其研究较为热门,其作用机制的研究最为深入也最为复杂㊂大量研究已证实,G L P-1广泛参与了P D的发生发展㊂可见,G L P-1可能在P D的 肠-脑轴 中发挥了重要作用㊂2.1 G L P-1受体在神经系统的分布 G L P-1作用于外周组织中的G L P-1受体(g l u c a g o n-l i k e p e p t i d e-1r e c e p t o r,G L P-1R)㊂这种受体遍布肠道㊁胃部㊁胰腺㊁心脏㊁肾脏㊁骨骼㊁血管和脂肪细胞[19]㊂G L P-1R 也广泛分布于中枢神经系统中,如与P D相关的黑质,其中也包括表达酪氨酸羟化酶(t y r o s i n e h y d r o x y l a s e,T H)的多巴胺能神经元[20],且神经元周围的小胶质细胞和星形胶质细胞也可表达G L P-1R[21],这些为G L P-1与神经退行性变的关系提供了物质基础㊂2.2肠道菌群对G L P-1的作用内源性G L P-1是由肠道L细胞产生㊂L细胞的数量沿胃肠道的纵轴逐渐增加;结肠腔内有大量肠道菌群,L细胞在其中比例最高,L细胞由于与肠道菌群直接接触而受到刺激㊂由此可见,肠道L细胞分泌的G L P-1受肠道菌群的影响;同时,其也受到细菌产生的S C F A影响㊂S C F A通过与L细胞上的跨膜游离脂肪酸受体(f r e e f a t t y a c i d r e c e p t o r2,F F A R2)结合发挥促分泌作用㊂L细胞中的法尼醇X受体(f a r n e s o i d Xr e c e p t o r, F X R)的激活通过减少F F A R2的表达和信号传导以减少S C F A诱导的G L P-1分泌;相反,S C F A诱导G L P-1分泌在敲除F X R小鼠中增强[17]㊂这提示,肠内分泌系统可能是调节G L P-1水平的主要调节位点,即对F X R的拮抗作用可能增强G L P-1的分泌㊂利用这种方法可增加G L P-1的产生,进而获得治疗益处㊂如前所述,P D肠道的特征是产生S C F A细菌丰度减低[15],这引起了各项研究对P D肠道G L P-1分泌的关注㊂因此,有研究[22]表明,与食用相同餐食的对照组相比,P D组餐后G L P-1水平较低㊂说明P D患者G L P-1分泌可能存在障碍,且这种障碍可能是由于产生S C F A的细菌较少所致㊂可以说,肠道菌群可通过G L P-1来影响大脑功能,即形成了 肠-脑轴 的联系㊂2.3 G L P-1对P D的作用 T2D M是P D的危险因素[1],G L P-1R激动剂能降低T2D M患者血糖[23]㊂这提示,G L P-1的稳态失调可能是P D的潜在机制㊂因此,存在将G L P-1信号的增强用于预防神经退行性病变的可能㊂研究[2]发现,G L P-1R激动剂恢复了合成多巴胺的限速酶T H在黑质的表达,还能进一步降低作为脂质过氧化产物和氧化应激标志物的4-羟基壬烯醛的产生[24],提高了神经营养因子,如神经胶质细胞系来源的神经营养因子和脑源性的神经营养因子的合成[25],并阻止体内T H阳性纹状体和中脑多巴胺能神经元中α-s y n[2,25]的积累㊂目前,已有研究进一步证明G L P-1R信号增强带来有益作用的机制㊂有研究[26]表明,G L P-1通过抑制核因子κB (n u c l e a r f a c t o rk a p p a-B,N F-κB)信号传导以发挥抗炎作用;而所对应的炎症正是在含有L P S的细菌的相对丰度增加和肠道屏障功能障碍下发生的㊂G L P-1R的激活通过调节细胞内线粒体活性氧(r e a c t i v e o x y g e n s p e c i e s,R O S)抑制P D的氧化应激(o x i d a t i v e s t r e s s,O S)㊂G L P-1R的激活增强了丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶(t h r e o n i n e k i n a s e,A k t)的磷酸化并诱导转录因子环磷酸腺苷(c y c l i c a d e n o s i n e m o n

前列腺癌新辅助化疗进展发布时间:2021-09-07T05:44:11.471Z 来源:《科学与技术》2021年5月第13期作者:梁鹏陈飞飞田志崇胡俊超[导读] 根治性前列腺切除术(RP)是前列腺癌患者的重要治疗手段,梁鹏陈飞飞田志崇胡俊超华北理工大学附属医院河北省唐山市 063000摘要:根治性前列腺切除术(RP)是前列腺癌患者的重要治疗手段,但是前列腺患者术前分期困难重重,为了使得更多病人能在RP中获益,新辅助治疗的地位也在越来越高。
其中,以多西他赛为基础的新辅助化疗手段值得我们关注。
关键词:前列腺癌;根治性前列腺切除术(RP);新辅助治疗;新辅助化疗;多西他赛前列腺癌是最常被诊断出的癌症之一,由于与发达国家相比,我国早期发现和筛查相关的诊断活动较差,故前列腺癌并不是我们诊断最常见的癌症类型,但可能包括逐步实施前列腺特异性抗原筛查和改进的活检技术又或日益西化的生活方式的影响,前列腺癌在我国的发病率及病死率正逐步上升【1】。
总体而言,高危和局部进展期的前列腺癌是威胁患者生命的主要原因,这部分患者在初诊时比例可达20%-30%【2】。
前列腺癌根治性切除术是低危局限性前列腺癌患者的最佳治疗方式,随着近些年来的研究,指南逐渐将手术适应症放宽到中-低危前列腺癌,甚至于已有研究者在转移性前列腺癌中实施包括手术在内的综合性治疗。
但随之而来的,是手术失败、放疗失败、生化复发率高等问题【3,4】,故许多学者开始对前列腺癌的新辅助治疗进行了探索。
前列腺癌新辅助包括辅助内分泌治疗(neoad-juvanthormonaltherapy,NHT)、新辅助化疗(neoadjuvantchemotherapy,NCT)以及两者的结合,其中NHT研究占了大多数。
然而,目前欧洲泌尿外科学会的指南不推荐在根治性切除术前进行新辅助内分泌治疗(证据等级别strong),美国国家综合癌症网络也不建议患者接受除临床试验以外的新辅助内分泌治疗。

Methods After A549 and HCC-1833 cells were treated with a concentration gradient of α-Hederin for 24 and 48 h, the OD 450nm was detected by using CCK8 assays, and the IC 50 was calculated. The A549 and HCC-1833 cells were divided into the blank control and α-Hederin groups in accordance with IC 50 values. Cell proliferation was detected by EdU assays, and cell cycle transformation and cell apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. Cell mobility was detected by using Transwell and scratch assays. SREBP1 and FASN protein expression levels were detected through Western blot analysis, and cell lipid accumulation was detected via oil red O staining. Results The survival rate of lung cancer cells decreased significantly with the increase of α-Hederin concentration, and the IC 50 values of A549 and HCC-1833 cells at 48 h were 15 and 25 μg/ml, respectively. Compared with the blank control group, cells proliferation and migration were significantly inhibited, cells were blocked in the G 1/S phase, the apoptosis rate increased, and the protein expression and lipid accumulation of SREBP1/FASN significantly reduced after α-Hederin treatment. Conclusion α-Hederin can inhibit the proliferation and migration, G 1/S phase transition and induce the apoptosis of NSCLC cells and hinder the malignant progression of NSCLC by downregulating the expression of SREBP1 and FASN and reducing the accumulation of cell lipids.

Besides this,leptin is also produced by fat under proinflammatory cytokine action,its increase having been reported in the acute phase reaction of sepsis. Leptin increases by the action of endotoxin or cytokines,and has been involved in the anorexia of infection.3–6Weight loss is frequently observed in advanced cancer.7,8Decreased food intake,hypermetabolism, and acute phase response with metabolic disturbances, partly due to host-derived and tumour substances, including various cytokines,are considered important wasting factors.9–12Since anorexia and hypermetab-olism frequently play a role in the development of cancer cachexia,it has been hypothesized that increased leptin secretion could be involved in its pathogenesis.There is evidence that ob gene expression may be up-regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF 13and IL-1,14which are also involved in the pathophysiology of cancer cachexia.However, Simons et al.15reported low or undetectable circulating leptin concentrations in patients with lung cancer andFrom the1Servicio de Medicina Interna,2Seccio´n de Oncologı´aMe´dica,3Servicio de Laboratorio,Hospital Universitario deCanarias,Tenerife,SpainCorrespondence to:Marı´a Remedios Alema´n,Servicio de MedicinaInterna,Hospital Universitario de Canarias,C/Ofra s/n,Univer-sidad de La Laguna,38320Tenerife,Spain.Tel:(922)678684;Fax:(922)653808;E-mail mraleman@comtf.esReceived3August2001;received in revised form17May2002;accepted for publication10June20021043–4666/02/$-see front matter 2002Elsevier Science Ltd.All rights reserved.KEY WORDS:lung cancer/malnutrition/acute phase reaction/cytokine/leptinCYTOKINE,Vol.19,No.1(7July),2002:pp21–2621weight loss,although these investigators did not examine the relationship with the inflammatory response.Wallace et al.16found that circulating leptin concentrations in gastrointestinal cancer patients were not related to inflammatory response,suggesting that cancer cachexia is not due to a dysregulation of leptin production.Moreover,Lopez Soriano et al.17found that anorexia was not related to leptin changes in experimental cancer.Our objective is to analyse the relation of serum leptin levels with the nutritional status and the inflam-matory response(acute phase reaction)in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.RESULTSThe distribution by stage was:6III A non surgical, 30III B and40IV.The histological distribution was37 (48.7%)adenocarcinoma,22(28.9%)epidermoid and 17(22.4%)large cell carcinoma.Regarding status performance assessment,19(25%)had a Karnofsky of 90%,36(47%)a Karnofsky of80%,and21(27,6%)a Karnofsky of70%.Serum LDH levels were also raised in patients compared with controls(P<0.001).Thirty three patients(43.4%)reported anorexia, 30(23%)had lost at least5%of the body weight(27% of them had lost10%or more)and in12(15.8%) patients the BMI was under20kg/m2.Serum leptin, cholesterol and total lymphocyte count were all lower in patients regarding controls(P<0,001).However,we did notfind significant differences regarding serum albumin levels(Table1).Proinflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF- ,sTNF-RII,sIL-2R and IL-12,antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10,other acute phase reactants as 1antitrypsin, ferritin,CRP and platelets and immune IFN- were all significantly raised in lung cancer patients compared with controls whereas IL-2was decreased(Table1). Leptin,nutritional status and acute phase reaction High serum leptin levels were related with a better status of nutrition,assessed by serum albumin levels, body fat mass,BMI,serum leptin levels and subjective nutritional score.Moreover,we observed a very close, and highly significant,correlation between serum leptin levels and fat mass assessed by bioimpedance (Spearman,rho=0.800,P<0.001)(Table2).We also observed a close relationship,between the nutritional status with the performance status(Karnofsky index): the worse the nutritional status the worse the perform-ance status(serum albumin:P=0.017,fat mass:P=0.015,serum leptin:P=0.015,BMI:P=0.019and SNS:P=0.021).We found a negative relation between serum leptin levels and PCR, 1antitrypsin,platelet count,serum ferritin and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, sTNF-RII and sIL-2R.So,the status of nutrition was worse and the leptin levels were lower in parallel with a more intense acute phase

proimmune lymphocyte cytokines IFN- and IL-2.Survival analysisThe median survival of the whole group was 198days.Patients with higher serum LDH levels,lower Karnofsky index and a more impaired nutritionalstatus (lower BMI,serum albumin and leptin levels (Fig.1),and worse subjective nutritional score)had a shorter survival,analysed by Kaplan and Meyer curves (Table 3).Patients with an enhanced acute phase response also showed an impaired prognosis.Excluding TNF ,all proinflammatory cytokines IL-6,sTNF-RII,sIL-2R and IL-12,were related to a worse prognosis.On the contrary,proimmune cytokines IFN- ,IL-2,were related to a better prognosis.Multivariate analysis (Cox regression analysis with covariates)showed that raised serum levels of sTNF-RII, 1antitrypsin,LDH and platelets were all survival factors with independent prognostic value,whereas all the nutritional variables,including serum leptin levels,and Karnofsky index were displaced by the acute phase reactants.DISCUSSIONPatients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer frequently su ffer anorexia,weight loss and malnutri-tion leading to a low BMI,low fat mass and serum leptin levels,all of them factors associated with a worse prognosis.The Karnofsky index is another well known prognostic factor in patients with cancer.Moreover,we observed a close relationship between the performance status and the nutritionalstatus,Figure 1.Decreased serum leptin levels are related to shortersurvival.However at multivariate analysis acute phase reaction (proinflam-matory cytokines)provide a better

cancer /23probably reflecting the effect of muscle and other protein loss on performance.It is unclear whether leptin acts as an acute phase reactant,leading to anorexia and malnutrition,or if it is only a simple marker of fat mass in cancer associated malnutrition.Different studies have shown that leptin concentrations are increased during cytokine-induced inflammatory response in sepsis patients,3–6suggesting that raised leptin levels may be related to anorexia. However in many common diseases leading to cachexia,in which there is also an inflammatory status caused by raised proinflammatory cytokines,serum leptin levels are decreased.This is the case of wasting associated to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)in which,despite an increase of TNF ,there are low leptin levels which keep a relation with decreased fat mass,18,19or chronic heart failure cachexia,in which serum TNF and IL-1levels are increased but leptin ones are decreased.20,21Also,in chronic inflammatory bowel disease and in wasting AIDS low or normal serum leptin levels have been reported despite an increase of sTNF-RII.22,23 Our results are in accordance with last studios. Serum leptin levels were lower in patients than in controls and,more decreased in the malnourished patients(as expected the relation was especially close with fat mass),despite an increase of proinflammatory cytokines and acute phase reactants.In advanced lung cancer patients we found that acute phase reactants as CRP,ferritin and 1antitrypsin,the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF- ,sTNF-RII,sIL-2R,IL-12,the antiinflammatory IL-10and the proimmune IFN- were all raised,together with,an impaired nutritional status and low serum leptin levels.On the contrary, IL-2,a proimmune cytokine,was decreased,perhaps pointing to a depressed T cell immune response.More-over,the increased acute phase response and cytokine levels were related to an impaired status of nutrition including decreased serum leptin levels.So,the increase of acute phase reactants related to lower serum leptin levels and worse nutritional and performance status, suggest a stress-type malnutrition.Our results do not support the hypothesis that high serum leptin levels,produced by a intense acute phase reaction,could be involved in anorexia and cachexia associated to cancer.Moreover,serum leptin levels were not higher in patients with anorexia,and weight loss was associated with low serum leptin concentrations.These results are similar to the reports of Simons et al.(1997)15and Brown et al.(2001)24in lung cancer,and Wallace et al.(1998)16in gastro-intestinal cancer and Mantovani et al.(2000)25in pancreas cancer,in which leptin concentrations were not elevated in weight-loosing cancer patients.Although the median survival of the whole group is only198days,by survival analysis we found that the status of nutrition,including leptin,the performance status and the acute phase reaction,were related to prognosis.However,in the multivariate analysis the performance status was displaced by the status of nutrition and this one by the acute phase reaction, indicating that all of them are related,providing similar information about survival,and reinforcing the importance of acute phase reaction and stress malnutrition in the evolution of advanced lung cancer.As conclusion,serum leptin levels are not raised in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer,and its production is not induced by the inflammatory response.Moreover,concentrations of leptin seem appropriate for the amount of body fat.Therefore,it would appear that cancer anorexia and cachexia are due to stress malnutrition and they are not caused by a dysregulation of leptin production.Perhaps in advanced malnutrition serum leptin levels are more dependent on to fat mass than on cytokine effect. MATERIALS AND METHODSPatientsBetween January1997and November1999we studied 76patients(67males and9females),with a median age of 62.5years(range36–75)recently diagnosed of non-small cell lung cancer,in advanced(non-surgical)stage,and before chemotherapy treatment.Patients were not included if brain metastasis were present,or if a poor performance status (Karnofsky index less than70%),or if any other chronic disease producing malnutrition was present.The control group was composed of30healthy subjects(26males and4 females)with a median age of58.5years(range38–75).All patients had been diagnosed by histological or cytological means.Status performance was assessed by the Karfnosky scale26.The TNM classification27was assessed by chest and upper abdominal CT scan,and a bone radionuclide scan,and was used for sstaging.Serum lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) levels were also used as an index of tumour bulk. Nutritional assessmentWeight and height were recorded at admittance,with further calculation of body mass index(BMI)as weight/ height2.Anorexia and weight loss were also recorded with further calculation of weight lost percentage as:weight lost/(current weight+lost weight) 100.Subjective nutritional assessment included examination of the muscle masses of the upper and lower limbs and of the temporal muscle,defining two degrees of atrophy(severe, moderate),and absence of atrophy.We assigned2.1and 0points to each category,respectively.Bichat’s fat and subcutaneous fat atrophy,recorded by physical examination were classified in the same way.Thus,we have defined a subjective nutritional score(SNS)based on the sum of the assigned points,the poorest value being10,and0the best one,as previously reported.28The fat mass and fat-free mass24/Alema´n et al.CYTOKINE,Vol.19,No.1(7July,2002:21–26)were assessed by bioelectric impedance.We also determined serum of cholesterol,lymphocytes and serum albumin levels. Acute phase proteins,cytokines and leptin assessmentBlood samples were obtained at0800h in fasting con-ditions and serum was frozen at 40 C for further deter-mination.Assays performed were:serum leptin levels by Inmunoradiometric Assay(IRMA),CRP by Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay(FPIA)(Diagnostic Division Abbott),IL-6,TNF- and sIL-2R by chemiluminescent immunometric assay(Diagnostic Products Corporation), IFN- ,IL-2and IL-12by immunoenzymatic assay (Immunotech),IL-10by enzyme immunometric assay in a microplate format(Diagnostic Products Corporation), sTNF-R by Enzyme Amplified Sensitivity Immunoassay (EASIA)performed on microtiter plate(Biosource).All the assays were of high standard quality with very low cross reactivity,i.e.very high specificity.We also determined cholesterol,albumin,ferritin and 1antitrypsin.The same analysis were performed to30healthy controls. Statistical analysisAs most variables,especially leptin,cytokines and CRP, did notfit the normal distribution,as assessed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,we have performed non parametric tests as Mann Withney U,Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation.Patients were followed until death.Survival curves were plotted by the method of Kaplan and Meier and log rank test were performed for differences in survival.Multivariate analysis(Cox regression with covariate survival analysis)was performed in order to discern which parameters yield inde-pendent predictive value on survival.For the multivariate analysis the cut-offpoints were selected according to those which showed a better significance regarding survival with the Kaplan and Meier analysis.REFERENCES1.Zhang Y,Proenca R,Maffei M,Barone M,Leopold L, Friedman JM(1994)Positional cloning of the mouse obese gene and its human homologue.Nature372:425–432.2.Considine RV,Sinha MK,Heiman ML,Kriauciunas A, Stephens TW,Nyce MR,Ohannesian JP,Marco CC,McKee LJ, Bauer TL,Caro JF(1996)Serum immunoreactive-leptin concen-trations in normal-weight and obese humans.N Engl J Med 334:292–295.3.Carlson GL,Saeed M,Little RA,Irving MH(1999)Serum leptin concentrations and their relation to metabolic abnormalities in human sepsis.Am J Physiol276:658–662.4.Arnalich F,Lo´pez J,Codoceo R,Jime´nez M,Madero R, Montiel C(1999)Relationship of plasma leptin to plasma cytokines and human survivalin sepsis and septic shock.J Infect Dis180: 908–911.5.Papathanassoglou ED,Moynihan JA,Ackerman MH, Mantzoros CS(2001)Serum leptin levels are higher but are not independently associated with severity or mortality in the multiple organ dysfunction/systemic inflammatory response syndrome:a matched case control and a longitudinal study.Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)54:225–233.6.Moses AG,Dowidar N,Holloway B,Waddell I,Fearon KC,Ross JA(2001)Leptin and its relation to weight loss,ob gene expression and the acute-phase response in surgical patients.Br J Surg88:588–593.7.De Wys WD,Begg C,Lavin PT,C q bband PR,Bennet JM, Bertino JR,Cohen MH,Douglass HO,Engstrom PF,Exdinli EZ, Horton J,Johnson GJ,Moertel CG,Oken MM,Perlia C,Rosebaum C,Sivertein MN,Skeel RT,Sponzo RW,Tormey DC(1980) Prognostic effect of weight loss prior to chemotherapy in cancer patients.Am J Med69:491–497.8.Daly JM,Cech AC(1996)Nutrition and neoplasia.In Fischer JE(ed.)Nutrition and Metabolism in the Surgical Patient.
