乳癌根治术中复合静脉麻醉与硬膜外麻醉的比较

通过对６０例不同麻醉下实施乳癌根治术病例的临床观察，比较其在术中呼吸循环等方面的变化，结果表明，硬膜外麻醉用于乳癌手术，对呼吸循环有一定的影响，易出现阻滞不全；而气管内插管复合静脉麻醉则具有呼吸，循环稳定的优点，亦易达到满意的麻醉效果。     

The protective effect of thiola against the genotoxic action of benzo(a)pyrene

Summary The protective effect of Thiola against the genotoxicity, induced by benzo(a)pyrene, in vitro and in vivo, was investigated. By association of Thiola to benzo(a)pyrene a significant decrease of the numerical and structural chromosome aberrations and a reduction of the incidence of c-mitoses has been obtained in human diploid cells, i.e. human embryonic lung fibroblasts of the cell-line ICP-23, and C₅₆Bl/6 mouse bone marrow cells.     

Inhibition of sensitized leukocyte's in vitro reactivity by circulating immune complexes in prostate cancer

Summary Circulating immune complexes in the sera of patients with confirmed histological diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate, were found to interfere in the sensitized leukocyte's in vitro reactivity to prostate cancer associated antigen as evaluated by tube leukocyte adherence inhibition assay, thereby suggesting an inhibitory role of such serum factors in host's anti tumor cell mediated immune responses.4 November 1986     

Is chlamydial heat shock protein 60 a risk factor for oncogenesis?

Heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) plays an important role in the protein folding of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Most of the papers published on chlamydial HSP60 concern its role in immune response during infection. In the last decade, exposure to Chlamydia trachomatis has been consistently associated with the development of cervical and ovarian cancer. Moreover, it has been suggested that chlamydial HSP60 may have an anti-apoptotic effect during persistent infection. We hypothesize that the accumulation of exogenous chlamydial HSP60 in the cytoplasm of actively replicating eukaryotic cells may interfere with the regulation of the apoptotic pathway. The concomitant expression of viral oncoproteins and/or the presence of mutations may lead to the ability to survive apoptotic stimuli, loss of replicative senescence, uncontrolled proliferation and, finally neoplastic transformation.Received 15 August 2004; received after revision 1 October 2004; accepted 7 October 2004     

Increased mitochondrial palmitoylcarnitine/carnitine countertransport by flavone causes oxidative stress and apoptosis in colon cancer cells

Cancer cell metabolism is characterized by limited oxidative phosphorylation in order to minimize oxidative stress. We have previously shown that the flavonoid flavone in HT-29 colon cancer cells increases the uptake of pyruvate or lactate into mitochondria, which is followed by an increase in O₂^−.. production that finally leads to apoptosis. Similarly, a supply of palmitoylcarnitine in combination with carnitine induces apoptosis in HT-29 cells by increasing the mitochondrial respiration rate. Here we show that flavone-induced apoptosis is increased more than twofold in the presence of palmitoylcarnitine due to increased mitochondrial fatty acid transport and the subsequent metabolic generation of O₂^−. in mitochondria is the initiating factor for the execution of apoptosis.

Genetic analysis of the kinome and phosphatome in cancer

Protein phosphorylation is a well-characterized biochemical process for reversible regulation of protein activity. Protein kinases and protein phosphatases are the key complementary players in this process, and through their coordinated activity cell homeostasis is tightly controlled. If these enzymes display aberrant activity, cells may undergo unrestrained growth, thus giving rise to complex diseases such as cancer. The technological platform gathered during the Human Genome Project recently allowed the systematic identifi cation of the genetic alterations present in the kinase (the kinome) and the phosphatase (the phosphatome) gene families. These studies suggest that most if not all human tumors carry genetic alterations in at least one phosphatase or kinase gene. Here we integrate the biochemical knowledge on the properties of these molecules with the information collected through their systematic genetic analysis in cancer. We also analyze why the molecular profi ling of the kinome and phosphatome in individual cancers is revolutionizing basic and clinical oncology.Received 13 May 2005; received after revision 30 May 2005; accepted 22 June 2005
