Article Abstract

Andrographolide (Andro) derivatives can interfere with a variety of enzymes. To increase the cancer cell absorption of Andro and to enhance the therapeutic effect of breast cancer, nitro group substituted boron dipyrromethene (NBDP) was used as the carrier of Andro. Two NBDP based assemblies (NBDP-Andro and nano NBDPAndro@PEG) were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods. The affinity of Andro with NBDP enhanced the emission of NBDP. The interaction of the compounds with lipase was also studied. NBDP-Andro can bind with lipase and form new species with an emission at 360 nm. Results demonstrate that the Andro of NBDP-Andro drives the interaction of compounds with protein (BSA) and lipase by inter-molecular forces. The large red shift emission at 611 nm of the NBDPAndro@PEG is observed and discussed. Also, the MTT assay confirms that Nano NBDPAndro@PEG can enhance the inhibition rate of the proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Therefore, nitro substituted BODIPY can be a carrier of andrographolide for cancer treatment.

Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has revolutionized one of the standard most efficient treatments for EGFR mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Osimertinib, a third-generation EGFR-TKI, is currently one of most efficient treatments in clinical practice. However, it has a potentially fatal side effect: interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Background: Patients with transplant-ineligible relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) have limited treatment options and poor outcomes.

Methods: This phase III study (NCT04236141) evaluated the efficacy and safety of polatuzumab vedotin plus bendamustine and rituximab (Pola+BR) versus BR in Chinese patients with transplant-ineligible R/R DLBCL to support regulatory submission in China. Patients were randomized 2:1 to receive Pola+BR or placebo+BR.

Background: This study investigated the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors of ablative treatment in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).

Methods: Retrospective data were collected from HCC patients who underwent ablation between January 2016 and December 2019. The baseline clinicopathological characteristics and long-term outcomes, such as overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), were compared between those with and without DM.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to determine the need for lymph node resection during surgical treatment in patients with stage IA non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Materials And Methods: A total of 1428 patients diagnosed with cT1N0M0 1 A stage NSCLC who underwent surgery were divided into two groups: lymphadenectomy (n = 1324) and nonlymphadenectomy (n = 104). The effects of lymph node resection on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and on clinicopathological factors that affected the prognosis of the patients were investigated.
