Objective: To analyze the relative factors of bone marrow suppression after chemotherapy with different-dose carboplatin and paclitaxel (TC) on the patients with ovarian cancer.
Methods: Sixty-two patients with ovarian cancer admitted in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January 2002 to December 2007, using TC regimen, a total of 196 cycles of chemotherapy, were divided into two groups by the doses of carboplatin [area under concentration-time curve (AUC) 4 - 6 for low-dose, AUC > 6 - 7 for hight-dose, the carboplatin dose calculated with AUC] or by the doses of paclitaxel (135- < 150 mg/m(2) low-dose, 150 - 175 mg/m(2) hight-dose). After each TC cycle, the routine blood was test to determine the graduation of the marrow suppression, and then the correlation factors were analyzed with logistic regression.
Results: (1) The occurrence rate of bone marrow suppression: there were 159 cycles (81.1%) grade 0-II bone marrow suppression, while 37 cycles (18.9%) of grade III-IV. (2) Factors related to bone marrow suppression: the results shown that there were not related to bone marrow suppression, which incluced cellular differentiation, tumor type, height, weight and paclitaxel dose (P > 0.05). While, the different cycle, age, the later stages of tumor, serum creatinine concentration, endogenous creatinine clearance rate, AUC values were the relative factors of bone marrow suppression (P = 0.000, 0.000, 0.018, 0.033, 0.001, 0.000). Seven variables were conducted into the logistic regression and the results shown that the different cycles, the age, AUC grades were independent risk factors (P = 0.030, 0.043, 0.009). (3) When low-dose of paclitaxel was given, the occurrence of bone marrow suppression was related to the carboplatin dose AUC. The higher AUC values for carboplatin were chosen, the higher of severe bone marrow suppression would happen. (4/14 vs 0, P = 0.015). When the dose of high grade of paclitaxel was given, the occurrence of bone marrow suppression in cases with hight-dose carboplatin was statistically significant than that in cases treated with low-dose carboplatin [45.7% (16/35) vs 13.7% (17/124), P = 0.000].
Conclusions: The independent risk factors of myelosuppression after chemotherapy with TC regime on the patients with ovarian cancer including the cycles, age and AUC values. The carboplatin dose calculating with AUC is related to the occurrence of bone marrow suppression, the higher AUC values for carboplatin would chosen, the higher of severe bone marrow suppression would be happen.

Background: Arginase-1 (Arg1) expressing tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) may create an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), which is a significant challenge for cancer immunotherapy. We previously reported the existence of Arg1-specific memory T cells among peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and described that Arg-1-based immune modulatory vaccines (IMVs) control tumor growth and alter the M1/M2 macrophage ratio in murine models of cancer. In the present study, we investigated how Arg1-specific T cells can directly target TAMs and influence their polarization.

Nonunion is a significant complication in fracture management for surgeons. Salvianolic acid A (SAA), derived from the traditional Chinese plant Salviae miltiorrhizae Bunge (Danshen), exhibits notable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Although studies have demonstrated its ability to promote osteogenic differentiation, the exact mechanism of action remains unclear.

Background: RANKL and SCLEROSTIN antibodies have provided a strong effective choice for treating osteoporosis in the past years, which suggested novel molecular target identification and therapeutic strategies development are important for the treatment of osteoporosis. The therapeutic effect of verapamil, a drug previously used for cardiovascular diseases, on diabetes was due to the inhibition of TXNIP expression, which has also been reported as a target in mice osteoporosis. Whether verapamil-inhibited TXNIP expression is related to osteoporosis and how it works on the molecular level is worthy to be explored.

To directly examine the interplay between mutant p53 or Mdm2 and wild type p53 in gene occupancy and expression, an integrated RNA-seq and ChIP-seq analysis was performed in vivo using isogenically matched mouse strains. Response to radiation was used as an endpoint to place findings in a biologically relevant context. Unexpectedly, mutant p53 and Mdm2 only inhibit a subset of wild type p53-mediated gene expression.

Background: Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory bone disease that seriously affects the health of dental implants. Pyroptosis plays an important role in peri-implantitis and inhibition of pyroptosis may point out a new direction for treating the disease. The long non-coding RNA Negative Regulator of Interferon Response (lncRNA NRIR) is closely related to peri-implantitis and may be involved in the process of pyroptosis.
