Efficacy of utidelone plus capecitabine versus capecitabine for heavily pretreated, anthracycline- and taxane-refractory metastatic breast cancer: final analysis of overall survival in a phase III randomised controlled trial. Ann Oncol 2020; 32:218-228. [PMID: 33188874 DOI: 10.1016/j.annonc.2020.10.600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/31/2020] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary analysis of the phase III trial BG01-1323L demonstrated that utidelone plus capecitabine significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall response rate (ORR) versus capecitabine alone in heavily-pretreated patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Here, we report the final overall survival (OS) analysis and updates of other endpoints. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 405 patients were randomised 2:1 to receive utidelone (30 mg/m2 IV daily, days 1-5, over 90 min) plus capecitabine (1000 mg/m2 orally b.i.d., days 1-14) or capecitabine alone (1250 mg/m2 orally b.i.d., days 1-14) every 21 days. The secondary endpoint, OS, was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit approach at a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 after the prespecified 310 death events had been reached. Exploratory analyses of the primary endpoint, PFS, and the secondary endpoint, ORR, were also done. Safety was analysed in patients who had at least one dose of study drug. RESULTS At the final OS analysis, the median duration of follow-up was 19.6 months in the utidelone plus capecitabine group and 15.4 months in the capecitabine alone group. In the intention-to-treat population, 313 deaths had occurred at data cut-off, 203 of 270 patients in the combination group and 110 of 135 in the monotherapy group. Median OS in the combination group was 19.8 months compared with 16.0 months in the monotherapy group [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.75, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.59-0.94, P = 0.0142]. The updated analysis of PFS and ORR showed that the combination therapy remained superior to monotherapy. Safety results were similar to those previously reported with respect to incidence, severity and specificity. No late-emerging toxicities or new safety concerns occurred. CONCLUSIONS For heavily-pretreated, anthracycline- and taxane-resistant MBC patients, utidelone plus capecitabine significantly improved OS versus capecitabine alone. These results support the use of utidelone plus capecitabine as a novel therapeutic regimen for patients with MBC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and prognostic factors in patients with presacral recurrent rectal cancer (PRRC). Methods: PRRC was defined as recurrence of rectal cancer after radical surgery involving posteriorly the presacral soft tissue, the sacrum/coccyx, and/or sacral nerve root. The diagnosis is confirmed with clinical symptoms (pain of pelvis/back/lower limb, bloody stools, increased frequency of defecation, and abnormal secretions), physical examination of perineal or pelvic masses, radiological findings, colonoscopy with histopathological biopsy, and the evaluation by multi-disciplinary team (MDT). Inclusion criteria: (1) primary rectal cancer undergoing radical surgery without distant metastasis; (2) PRRC was diagnosed; (3) complete inpatient, outpatient and follow-up data. According to the above criteria, clinical data of 72 patients with PRRC in Peking University People's Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinicopathological features and follow-up data were summarized. Cox proportional hazard models was used to analyze the prognostic factors of PRRC. Results: Among 72 patients, 45 were male and 27 were female with a male-to-female ratio of 1.7:1.0. The median age at recurrence was 58 (34 to 83) years and the median interval from surgery to recurrence was 2.0 (0.2 to 17.0) years. The main symptom was pain in 48.6% (35/72) of patients. In addition, gastrointestinal symptoms were found in 25.0% (18/72) of patients. The presacral recurrent sites were presacral fascia in 36 (50.0%) patients, lower sacrum (S3~S5 or coccyx) in 25 (34.7%) patients, and higher sacrum (S1~S2) in 11 (15.3%) patients. Forty-seven (65.3%) patients underwent radical surgery (abdominal resection, abdominoperineal resection, sacrectomy, abdominosacral resection), 12 (16.7%) underwent non-radical surgery (colostomy, cytoreductive surgery), and 13 (18.1%) did not undergo any surgery but only receive palliative chemoradiotherapy and nutritional support treatment. Thirty-three (45.8%) patients received radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, capecitabine, irinotecan, etc.). All the patients received follow-up, and the median follow-up time was 19 (2 to 72) months. The median overall survival time was 14 (1 to 65) months. The 1- and 3-year overall survival rates were 67.1% and 32.0%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that age at recurrence (P=0.031) and radical resection (P<0.001) were associated with prognosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that radical resection was independent factor of good prognosis (RR=0.140, 95%CI: 0.061-0.322, P<0.001). Conclusions: Patients tend to develop presacral recurrent rectal cancer within 2 years after primary surgery. The main symptom is pain. Patients undergoing radical resection have a relatively good prognosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the efficacy and prognosis of three surgical methods for presacral recurrent rectal cancer (PRRC). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Case inclusion criteria: (1) primary rectal cancer without distant metastasis and undergoing radical surgery; (2) patients undergoing radical surgery after the diagnosis of PRRC; (3) complete inpatient, outpatient and follow-up data. Clinical data of 47 patients meeting the above criteria who underwent operation at the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, The Peking University People's Hospital from January 2008 to December 2017 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively. Of the 47 patients, 31 were male and 16 were female; the mean age was 57 years old; 9 (19.1%) were low differentiation or signet ring cell carcinoma, 38 (80.9%) were medium differentiation; 19 (40.4%) received neoadjuvant therapy. According to operative procedure, 22 patients were in the abdominal/abdominoperineal resection group, 15 in the sacrectomy group and 10 in the abdominosacral resection group. The operative data, postoperative data and prognosis were compared among the three groups. Survival curve was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank test was used to compare survival difference among three groups. Results: There were no significant differences in baseline data among three groups (all P>0.05). All the 47 patients completed the radical resection successfully. The mean operation time was (4.7±2.1) hours, the median intraoperative blood loss was 600 ml, and the median postoperative hospitalization time was 17 days. Fifteen cases (31.9%) had perioperative complications, of which 3 cases were grade III-IV. There was no perioperative death. The mean operative time was (7.4±1.6) hours in the abdominosacral resection group, (4.9±1.6) hours in the abdominal/abdominoperineal resection group, and (3.0±1.1) hours in the sacroectomy group, with a significant difference (F=25.071, P<0.001). There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospitalization days and perioperative complications among the three groups (all P>0.05). The median follow-up period of all the patients was 24 months, 12 cases (25.5%) developed postoperative dysfunction. The incidence of postoperative dysfunction in the abdominosacral resection group was 5/10, which was higher than 4/15 in the sacrectomy group and 3/22 (13.6%) in the abdominoperineal resection group with statistically significant difference (χ(2)=9.307, P=0.010). The 1-year and 3-year overall survival rates were 86.1% and 40.2% respectively. The 1-year overall survival rates were 86.0%, 86.7% and 83.3%, and the 3-year overall survival rates were 33.2%, 40.0% and 62.5% in the abdominal/abdominoperineal resection group, sacrectomy group and abdominosacral resection group, respectively, whose difference was not statistically significant (χ(2)=0.222, P=0.895). Conclusions: Abdominal/abdominoperineal resection, sacrectomy and abdominosacral resection are all effective for PRRC. Intraoperative function protection should be concerned for patients undergoing abdominosacral resection.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the effects of pyrroloquinoline quinine (PQQ) on the mitochondrial function and cell survival of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under oxidative stress, and to explore its mechanism. Methods: BMSCs of rats were cultured in vitro with Dulbecco's minimum essential medium/F12 medium containing fetal bovine serum in the volume fraction of 10% (hereinafter referred to as normal medium). The rat BMSCs of third to fifth passages in logarithmic growth phase were selected for the following experiments. (1) The cells were divided into normal control group, normal control+ PQQ group, hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) alone group, and H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group. The cells in normal control group were cultured in normal medium for 24 hours; the cells in normal control+ PQQ group were cultured in normal medium containing 100 μmol/L PQQ for 24 hours; the cells in H(2)O(2) alone group were cultured in normal medium containing 200 μmol/L H(2)O(2) for 24 hours; the cells in H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group were pre-incubated with normal medium containing 100 μmol/L PQQ for 2 hours, and then with H(2)O(2) added to the concentration of 200 μmol/L and cultured for 24 hours. The cell morphology of each group was observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope, and the cell survival rate was detected by cell count kit 8 method. (2) Five batches of cells were collected, and the cells of each batch were divided into normal control group, H(2)O(2) alone group, and H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group. The cells in each group received the same treatment as that in the corresponding group of experiment (1). After 24 hours of culture, one batch of cells was collected for apoptosis detection by flow cytometry, and the apoptosis rate was calculated. One batch of cells was subjected to mitochondrial membrane potential assay and JC-1 fluorescent staining observation using the JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential detection kit and the inverted phase contrast fluorescence microscope, respectively. One batch of cells was collected for mitochondrial morphology observation under the transmission electron microscope. One batch of cells was subjected to catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity assay by CAT activity assay kit and SOD activity assay kit, respectively. One batch of cells was subjected to Western blotting for determination of protein level of Epac1, adenine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), phosphorylated AMPK, cysteinyl aspartate-specific proteinase 3 (caspase-3), and cleaved caspase-3, and the phosphorylation level of AMPK and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio were calculated. Six replicates were measured in each group for each index except for morphological observation. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and independent sample equal variance t test. Results: (1) After 24 hours of culture, compared with those in normal control group (the cell survival rate was set to 100.0%), there was an increase in cell vacuole and a decrease in cell number in H(2)O(2) alone group, and the cell survival rate was significantly reduced to (74.3±2.9)% (t=6.39, P<0.01). Compared with those in H(2)O(2) alone group, the cell morphology of H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group was significantly improved, and the cell survival rate was significantly increased to (116.9±4.2)% (t=6.92, P<0.01); the cell survival rate in normal control+ PQQ group was (101.2±1.1)%, close to that of control group (t=1.06, P>0.05). (2) After 24 hours of culture, compared with (13.6±1.0)% in normal control group, the apoptosis rate of cells in H(2)O(2) alone group was significantly increased to (37.1±2.0)% (t=10.57, P<0.01). Compared with that in H(2)O(2) alone group, the apoptosis rate of cells in H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group was significantly declined to (17.0±0.7)% (t=9.49, P<0.01). (3) After 24 hours of culture, compared with those in normal control group, the mitochondrial membrane potential of cells in H(2)O(2) alone group was depolarized, the JC-1 fluorescent dye mainly existed in the cytoplasm in the form of monomer, which emitted green fluorescence, and a significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential was shown (t=4.18, P<0.01). Compared with those in H(2)O(2) alone group, the mitochondrial membrane potential of cells in H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group was increased to normal level (t=4.43, P<0.01), and the JC-1 fluorescent dye accumulated in mitochondria following the polarized mitochondrial membrane potential and emitted red fluorescence. (4) After 24 hours of culture, compared with that in normal control group, the mitochondrial structure of cells in H(2)O(2) alone group was disordered, with disappeared mitochondrial cristae and decreased mitochondrial matrix density. Compared with that in H(2)O(2) alone group, the mitochondrial structure of cells in H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group was regular and intact, with clearly visible mitochondrial cristae and increased mitochondrial matrix density. (5) After 24 hours of culture, compared with those in normal control group, the CAT activity of cells in H(2)O(2) alone group was significantly increased (t=4.54, P<0.05), and the SOD activity was significantly decreased (t=3.93, P<0.05). Compared with those in H(2)O(2) alone group, the CAT activity of cells in H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group was obviously increased (t=8.65, P<0.01), while there was no significant change in the SOD activity (t=0.72, P>0.05). (6) After 24 hours of culture, compared with those in normal control group, the protein expression of Epac1 of cells in H(2)O(2) alone group was significantly decreased (t=4.67, P<0.01), while the AMPK phosphorylation level and the cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio were significantly increased (t=7.88, 3.62, P<0.01). Compared with those in H(2)O(2) alone group, the protein expression of Epac1 and the AMPK phosphorylation level of cells in H(2)O(2)+ PQQ group were both significantly increased (t=4.34, 16.37, P<0.01), while the cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio was significantly declined (t=3.17, P<0.05). Conclusions: Pretreatment with PQQ can improve the mitochondrial function, reduce cell apoptosis rate, and enhance cell survival rate of rat BMSCs under oxidative stress, which may be related to the up-regulation of Epac1 protein expression, activation of AMPK signaling pathway, and down-regulation of cleaved caspase-3 protein level.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of two procedures in the treatment of hemorrhoid: the procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) and stapled transanal rectal resection (STARR). Methods: A retrospective cohort research was conducted. Clinical data of 263 patients undergoing the first elective surgery for grade IV hemorrhoids by the same team of surgeons at our department from January 2015 to December 2016 were analyzed retrospectively, while those had other anorectal diseases, emergency surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, tumor and incomplete clinical data were excluded. PPH was performed in 129 patients and STARR was performed in 134 patients. PPH procedure: a circular purse 2-0 string suture was made at 4 cm above the dentate line; in accordance with the standard protocol, the PPH circular stapling devicewas introduced; the suture was closed, and a pull-through followed; the traction was continued; the stapler was fired; the prolapsed mucosa and submucosa were removed. STARR procedure: 3-5 needles were sutured in the anterior rectal mucosa, protecting the posterior wall mucosa; with the help of a finger the PPH stapler was inserted into the vaginal lumen; the sutures were hooked from both sides of the stapler to maintain traction; according to the disease condition, the suturewas tightened appropriately; stapler was screwed and activated; the anterior wall mucosa was removed; the joint of the both ends of anastomosis was cut; the posterior wall mucosa was removed as well. The short-term efficacy, surgical safety and prognosis of the two groups were compared. Results: There were 67 males (51.9%) in the PPH group and 57 (42.5%) males in the STARR group. The median age of the two groups was 51.0 (22.0, 80.0) years and 49.0 (24.0, 74.0) years, respectively. There were no significant differences in the baseline data between the two groups (all P>0.05). No significant differences in the intraoperative bleeding, length of hospital stay, postoperative analgesic drug use, postoperative bleeding, postoperative infection, etc. were found between two groups (all P>0.05). As compared to PPH group, STAAR group had longer operation time and higher hospitalization cost with significant differences [(44.0±19.3) minutes vs. (26.3±8.5) minutes, t=9.701, P=0.001; (11 047±473) yuan vs. (7674±309) yuan, t=32.826, P=0.001]. One case in STAAR group developed rectovaginal fistula. The median follow-up period of the whole group was 40 (33, 52) months. A total of 108 cases in STARR group and 114 cases in PPH group completed the follow-up. The 3-year disease-relapse rate was 0 in STARR group and 4.2% in PPH group (P=0.042). Conclusion: STARR procedure can improve the prognosis in the treatment of grade IV hemorrhoid, but attention should be paid to the development of complications.

Abstract
Hollow core-shell structured TS-1@S-1 zeolite (HCS-TS) was prepared successfully for the first time, which exhibited excellent activity in the epoxidation of alkenes. Combining TEM, UV-vis, UV-Raman, pyridine-IR, solid-state MAS NMR, XPS and so on characterization, the improvement in the catalytic performance of hollow core-shell structured TS-1@S-1 zeolite was credited to the newly formed superior active sites: defective Ti(OSi)3(OH) species in HCS-TS and six-coordinated titanium active species in uncalcined HCS-TS (HCS-TSP). Interestingly, these two different titanium active species in the samples could be constructed through calcination or not in the same synthesis process. A possible formation mechanism was investigated in detail; it indicated that the hollowing treatment of TS-1 in the first step was conducive to the construction of the new superior active sites in the samples, and there was a synergistic effect on the formation of these active sites between TPAOH and TEOS in the second step of the synthesis process. This strategy is feasible to enhance the catalytic performance of TS-1, and is suitable for the synthesis of TS-1 on an industrial scale.

Abstract
We have studied the low temperature electrical transport properties of La x Sr1-x CuO2 thin films grown by oxide molecular beam epitaxy on (1 1 0) GdScO3 and TbScO3 substrates. The transmission electron microscopy measurements and the x-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the epitaxy of the obtained films and the study of their normal state transport properties, removing the ambiguity regarding the truly conducting layer, allowed to highlight the presence of a robust hidden Fermi liquid charge transport in the low temperature properties of infinite layer electron doped cuprate superconductors. These results are in agreement with recent observations performed in other p and n doped cuprate materials and point toward a general description of the superconducting and normal state properties in these compounds.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients in endometrial cancer with bone metastases. Methods: A retrospective review of medical records was performed to analyze patients with endometrial cancer who developed bone metastases at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from January 2004 to December 2017, including patients with bone metastases at the diagnosis of endometrial cancer and at recurrence of endometrial cancer. The patient's clinicopathological features, bone metastasis characteristics, treatment process and prognoses were also analyzed. Results: The incidence of bone metastasis of endometrial cancer in PUMCH from 2004 to 2017 was 0.57% (14/2 458). (1) General clinical pathological features: the median age of the 7 patients with bone metastases diagnosed at the time of initial diagnosis was 50 years old, and the main pathological type was endometrioid carcinoma (n=5). The median age of the other 7 patients was 57 years old, with no significant difference comparing to the former groups (P=0.559). (2) The majority site of bone metastasis in endometrial cancer were discovered in pelvic bones, followed by the tibia. (3) Treatment: according to the staging of endometrial cancer, a comprehensive treatment based on surgery was performed, and one patient with isolated bone metastases underwent resection of bone metastasis. (4) Prognosis: nine out of the 14 patients died during the follow-up period. The median over all survival time was 25.5 months (range: 7.7-258.0 months). The median survival of population after diagnosis of bone metastases was 15.0 months (range: 3.0-51.0 months). The survival rate of endometrial cancer at 1-year after diagnosis of bone metastasis was 71.4%. The 2-year survival rate was 40.8%. (5) No independent prognostic factors affecting survival was found (P>0.05). Conclusions: The incidence of bone metastasis in endometrial cancer is less than 1%. Bone metastasis could occur at the diagnosis of endometrial cancer or recurrence of endometrial cancer. Bone metastasis suggests a poor prognosis. There is no standard follow-up and treatment protocols so that individualized treatment is needed.

Abstract
1. Limiting the growth of adipose tissue in chickens is a major issue in the poultry industry. In chickens, de novo synthesis of lipids occurs primarily in the liver. Thus, it is necessary to understand how fatty acid accumulation in the liver is controlled. The miR-33 is an intronic microRNA (miRNA) of the chicken sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 2 (SREBF2), which is a master switch in activating many genes involved in the uptake and synthesis of cholesterol, triglycerides, fatty acids and phospholipids. 2. In the current study, the genes CROT and HADHB known to encode enzymes critical for fatty acid oxidation were predicted to be potential targets of miR-33 in chickens via the miRNA target prediction programs 'miRanda' and 'TargetScan'. Co-transfection and dual-luciferase reporter assays showed that the expression of luciferase reporter gene linked to the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR) of the chicken CROT and HADHB mRNA was down-regulated by overexpression of the chicken miR-33 (P < 0.05). This down-regulation was completely abolished when the predicted miR-33 target sites in the CROT and HADHB 3'UTR were mutated. 3. Transfecting miR-33 mimics into the LMH cells led to a decrease in the mRNA expression of CROT and HADHB (P < 0.01), and this transfection had a similar effect on the proteins (P < 0.05). In contrast, the expression of CROT in primary chicken hepatocytes was up-regulated after transfection with the miR-33 inhibitor LNA-anti-miR-33 (P < 0.05). 4. Using quantitative RT-PCR, it was shown that the expression of miR-33 was increased in the chicken liver from day 0 to day 49 of age, whereas the CROT and HADHB mRNA levels decreased during the same period. 5. These findings support the conclusion that miR-33 might play an important role in lipid metabolism in the chicken liver by negatively regulating the expression of the CROT and HADHB genes, which encode enzymes critical for lipid oxidation.

Abstract
Removal of damaged mitochondria is orchestrated by a pathway involving the PINK1 kinase and the PARKIN ubiquitin ligase. Ubiquitin chains assembled by PARKIN on the mitochondrial outer membrane recruit autophagy cargo receptors in complexes with TBK1 protein kinase. While TBK1 is known to phosphorylate cargo receptors to promote ubiquitin binding, it is unknown whether TBK1 phosphorylates other proteins to promote mitophagy. Using global quantitative proteomics, we identified S72 in RAB7A, a RAB previously linked with mitophagy, as a dynamic target of TBK1 upon mitochondrial depolarization. TBK1 directly phosphorylates RAB7AS72, but not several other RABs known to be phosphorylated on the homologous residue by LRRK2, in vitro, and this modification requires PARKIN activity in vivo. Interaction proteomics using nonphosphorylatable and phosphomimetic RAB7A mutants revealed loss of association of RAB7AS72E with RAB GDP dissociation inhibitor and increased association with the DENN domain-containing heterodimer FLCN-FNIP1. FLCN-FNIP1 is recruited to damaged mitochondria, and this process is inhibited in cells expressing RAB7AS72A. Moreover, nonphosphorylatable RAB7A failed to support efficient mitophagy, as well as recruitment of ATG9A-positive vesicles to damaged mitochondria. These data reveal a novel function for TBK1 in mitophagy, which parallels that of LRRK2-mediated phosphorylation of the homologous site in distinct RABs to control membrane trafficking.

Abstract
Ferritin, an iron storage and regulation protein, has been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD); however, it has not been investigated in preclinical AD, detected by neocortical amyloid-β load (NAL), before cognitive impairment. Cross-sectional analyses were carried out for plasma and serum ferritin in participants in the Kerr Anglican Retirement Village Initiative in Aging Health cohort. Subjects were aged 65-90 years and were categorized into high and low NAL groups via positron emission tomography using a standard uptake value ratio cutoff=1.35. Ferritin was significantly elevated in participants with high NAL compared with those with low NAL, adjusted for covariates age, sex, apolipoprotein E ɛ4 carriage and levels of C-reactive protein (an inflammation marker). Ferritin was also observed to correlate positively with NAL. A receiver operating characteristic curve based on a logistic regression of the same covariates, the base model, distinguished high from low NAL (area under the curve (AUC)=0.766), but was outperformed when plasma ferritin was added to the base model (AUC=0.810), such that at 75% sensitivity, the specificity increased from 62 to 71% on adding ferritin to the base model, indicating that ferritin is a statistically significant additional predictor of NAL over and above the base model. However, ferritin's contribution alone is relatively minor compared with the base model. The current findings suggest that impaired iron mobilization is an early event in AD pathogenesis. Observations from the present study highlight ferritin's potential to contribute to a blood biomarker panel for preclinical AD.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the influence on compliance of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) in patients with allergic rhinitis by We-Media management.Method:One hundred and eighty patients of allergic rhinitis were randomly divided into We-Media management group (Group A 90 cases) and telephone management group (Group B 90 cases). All of patients were treated with SLIT. In the group A, the doctor-patient WeChat and/or QQ group were formed. The specific duty doctor acted as group leader, made monthly plans, sent SLIT related knowledge more than 3 times a week and assessed patient reported outcomes. In the group B, the patients were conductd on-the-spot demonstration and explanation and followed up by telephone once three month. The statistical analysises were made on the rates and reason of dropouts on the first, third, sixth, ninth, twelfth post-treatment months in two groups.Result:The rates of dropouts in group A and group B were 13.3%(12/90) and 32.2%(29/90) respectively in the first year. The statistical difference were noticeable between group A and group B(P=0.003). Most dropouts were happened in the first 3 months, group A 41.7%(5/12) and group B 51.7%(15/29) respectively. It had no statistically significant(P=0.558). Two major reasons of dropouts were no improvement of symptoms and lack of confidence.Conclusion:Percentage of dropouts in SLIT patients through telephone management was comparatively high, which can be significantly improved by We-Media management. We-Media management has more advantage,especially during long-term follow-up.

Abstract
AIM The application of complete mesocolic excision (CME) in colon cancer is controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to compare the safety, quality and effect of CME with non-complete mesocolic excision (NCME) in patients with colon cancer. METHOD We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect, the Cochrane Library and Scopus to identify studies comparing CME with NCME in colon cancer. We focused on three study outcome areas: safety (operation time, blood loss, complications, mortality); quality (large bowel length, distance from the tumour to the high vascular tie, area of mesentery, total lymph nodes); and effect (long-term survival). RESULTS A total of 8586 patients from 12 studies were included in the meta-analysis. CME was associated with greater intra-operative blood loss [weighted mean difference (WMD) 79.87, 95% CI: 65.88-93.86], more postoperative surgical complications (relative risk 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08-1.40), longer large bowel resection (WMD 47.06, 95% CI: 10.49-83.62), greater distance from the tumour to the high vascular tie (WMD 17.51, 95% CI: 15.16-19.87), larger area of mesentery (WMD 36.09, 95% CI: 18.06-54.13) and more lymph nodes (WMD 6.13, 95% CI: 1.97-10.28) than NCME. CME also had positive effects on 5-year survival [hazard ratio (HR) 0.33, 95% CI: 0.13-0.81], 3-year survival (HR 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39-0.86) and 3-year survival for Stage III disease (HR 0.69, 95% CI: 0.60-0.80) compared with NCME. CONCLUSION Limited evidence suggests that CME is a more effective strategy for improving specimen quality and survival but with a higher complication rate.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-Paclitaxel), a novel solvent-free taxane-based regimen, was hypothesized to have enhanced drug transport to tumors, shorter infusion schedules and no need for premedication. The value of nab-Paclitaxel in neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) for breast cancer remains uncertain. We performed a meta-analysis to assess efficacy and toxicity of nab-Paclitaxel compared to conventional taxane regimens (paclitaxel, docetaxel) within randomized clinical trials.
Methods: A systematic search was performed using the medical subject heading (MeSH) terms ''breast neoplasms'', as well as (1) breast cancer; AND (2) nab-Paclitaxel OR nanoparticle paclitaxel; AND (3) neoadjuvant OR preoperative OR primary systemic in both Pubmed databases and proceedings of oncologic meetings including ASCO, ESMO and SABCS. Pooled rates of pathological complete response(pCR), odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed-effect or random-effect model to determine the effect of neoadjuvant nab-paclitaxel.
Results: Twenty-one studies with 2357 patients were included, 3 of which (GeparSepto[1], ETNA[2], Showa trial[3]) were randomized clinical trials. The aggregate pCR rate (ypT0/is ypN0) was 32% (95% CI 25-38%) in unselected breast cancer patients and was 14%(95% CI 11-17%), 41%(95% CI 38-45%), 54%(95% CI 43-66%) in hormone receptor-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-), triple negative breast cancer(TNBC), HER2+ patients, respectively. Within the HER2+ population, pCR rate was 61%(95% CI 47-74%) for HR- and 40%(95% CI 28-52%) for HR+ tumors. Regarding randomized clinical trials, the probability of achieving pCR was significantly higher in the nab-paclitaxel group than in the conventional taxanes group (OR=1.383, 95%CI 1.141-1.676, p=0.001). A funnel plot of the effect size for each randomized trial against the precision showed no asymmetry, which indicating no potential publication bias. In the safety analysis (GeparSepto[1], ETNA[2]), hematological toxic effects were generally equivalent in nab-paclitaxel and paclitaxel group. For non-hematological toxic effects, all grades and grade≥ 3 peripheral sensory neuropathy occurred more frequently with nab-paclitaxel compared to paclitaxel (all grades, OR=2.090, 95%CI 1.016-4.302, p=0.045; grade≥ 3, OR=3.766, 95%CI 2.324-6.100, p<0.001). Hypersensitivity was more common with paclitaxel than nab-paclitaxel at any grade and grade≥ 3. Other non-hematological toxic effects did not significantly differ between two groups.
Conclusion: nab-Paclitaxel is an effective antitumor drug in NST of breast cancer, especially for TNBC and HER2+ tumors, in terms of pCR. Exchange of nab-Paclitaxel for conventional taxanes could significantly improve pCR rate with reasonable toxicities.

Abstract
Objective: To compare the clinical and histological features and prognosis of patients with ovarian cancer from different genetic background, and to make further understanding of the genetic model of BRCA genes used pedigree analysis. Methods: There were 71 patients from 67 independent families enrolled in our study from Apr. 2000 to Jun. 2009 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. All exons of BRCA1/2 genes were analyzed using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC) followed by direct sequencing, and clinical features of patients were compared by statistical analysis. Pedigree analysis of two families with BRCA genes mutation were performed. Results: The mutation rate of BRCA genes was 28% (20/71). The frequency of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutation was 23% (16/71) and 6% (4/71), respectively (P=0.004). Histology types of patients with and without BRCA genes mutation were different. The onset age between patients with and without BRCA genes mutation was similar (52.6 versus 54.6 years old, P=0.393), and tend to be early-onset breast or ovarian cancer in high-risk group. There was no significant difference of platinum-resistant rate, disease free survival and overall survival rate between patients with and without BRCA genes mutation (all P>0.05). According to the pedigree analysis, up to 100% of female offspring inherited pathogenic mutations, and male offspring could be a mutation carrier. Conclusions: The genetic screening and clinical intervention should be performed as early as possible for the members from families at risk of hereditary ovarian cancer. Genetic consulting is important for patients with high-grade papillary serous adenocarcinoma of ovary. It is still unknown that whether the patients with BRCA gene mutations have better prognosis than sporadic ones, and further perspective, randomized controlled trial is still needed.
