Adipocytes secreted leptin is a pro-tumor factor for survival of multiple myeloma under chemotherapy.

Accumulating evidences have shown that adipokines secreted from adipocytes contributes to tumor development, especially leptin. However, underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the effect of leptin on development and chemoresistance in multiple myeloma cells and the potential mechanism.

[Efficacy and safety of rh-endostatin combined with chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for advanced NSCLC: a meta-analysis review].

Background And Objective: In recent years, there has been a large number of studies and reports about the efficacy and safety of recombinant human endostatin (rh-endostatin), an anti-angiogenic drug, in treatment of advanced lung cancer. Authentic assessment of rh-endostatin treatment in lung cancer is important. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of rh-endostatin combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

[Effects of rh-endostar in combination with radiotherapy on rats with lung cancer].

Background And Objective: Radiation sensitivity is closely related to tissue oxygen, and rh-endostatin can induce the high level of oxygen content in tumor by "normalizing" tumor angiogenesis which is associated with radiotherapy sensitivity. The aim of this study is to observe the effect of combination of radiotherapy with rh-endostatin in the rats with lung cancer.

Methods: Immediate lewis cancerous ascetic injection method was used to make rats tumors bearing model, then the rats was divided into four groups randomly: group A was treated with saline; group B was treated with rh-endostatin; group C was treated with irradiation and group D was treated with rh-endostatin and irradiation.
