Partial response occurred in almost two thirds of GIST patients treated with Glivec. However, complete response (CR) after Glivec therapy was sporadically reported. Here we illustrated advanced GIST patients with CR after Glivec treatment. METHODS: Between January 2001 and June 2005, 42 advanced GIST patients were treated with Glivec. Patients were administered 400 mg of Glivec in 100-mg capsules, taken orally daily with food. The response of the tumor to Glivec was evaluated after one month, three months, and every three months thereafter or whenever medical need was indicated. Each tumor of patients was investigated for mutations of kit or PDGFRA. RESULTS: The median follow-up time of the 42 ad-vanced GIST patients treated with Glivec was 16.9 months (range, 1.0- 47.0 months). Overall, 3 patients had complete response CR (7.1%), 26 partial response (67.8%), 5 stationary disease (11.9%), and 3 progressive disease (11.9%). The median duration of Glivec administration for the three patients was 36 months (range, 23-36 months). The median time to CR after Glivec treatment was 20 months (range, 9-26 months). Deletion and insertion mutations of c-kit exon 11 and insertion mutation of c-kit exon 9 were found in two cases and one case, respectively. CONCLUSION: Complete response (CR) can be achieved in selected advanced GIST patients treated with Glivec. The median time to CR after Glivec treatment was 20 months. Deletion and insertion mutations of kit exon 11 and insertion mutation of kit exon 9 contribute to the genetic features in these selected cases.展开更多

These tumors rarely give extra-abdominal metastases. However, their clinical outcome is potentially adverse. In some rare cases, co- existance of GISTs with other malignancies has been reported. Here we present a case of a 74-year old male with GIST, which was managed by surgical resection. Fourteen months later, the patient presented with liver metastases and imatinib mesylated was administered. During treatment, the patient reported skeletal pain and plane X-rays revealed osteolytic bone lesions. Further investigation revealed the presence of multiple myeloma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the co-existence of multiple myeloma (MM) with GIST.展开更多

METHODS: Clinical data and computed tomography (CT) images were retrospectively reviewed in 17 GIST patients who were treated with imatinib mesylate from October 2002 to October 2006. Apart from using size measurement for evaluation of tumor response [Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria], patterns of CT changes during treatment were evaluated and correlated with clinical data. RESULTS: There were eight non-responders and nine responders. Five patterns of CT change during treatment were found: focal progression (FP), generalized progression (GP), generalized cystic change (GC), new cystic lesion (NC) and new solid lesion (NS). At the end of study, all non-responders showed GP, whereas responders showed cystic change (GC and NC) and response according to RECIST criteria. Overall survival was significantly better in patients with cystic change or response within the RECIST criteria compared with GP patients (P = 0.0271). CONCLUSION: Various patterns of CT change in patients with GIST who responded to imatinib mesylate were demonstrated, and might determine the prognosis of the disease. A combination of RECIST criteria and pattern of CT change are proposed for response evaluation in GIST.展开更多

Nafamostat mesylate (NM) is an anticoagulant commonly used (mainly in Japan) during CRRT in patients with high bleeding risk. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacokinetics of NM during CRRT. Patients undergoing CRRT therapy and using NM as the anticoagulant in the intensive care unit were enrolled in the study. Blood was collected from the CRRT circuit just after blood removal, just before and after the membrane for CRRT, and from the filtrates after the membrane. NM concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. NM was detected in the intracorporeal circulation during CRRT in some cases, and liver enzymes were severely elevated in almost all of the cases. Coagulation time was prolonged even before the initiation of NM administration in these cases and may be associated with liver damage. This study suggests that NM dosage should take into account liver damage assessed by elevated liver enzymes.展开更多

In this study, we determined the effect of sunitinib, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on the primary human colonic fibroblasts. Methods: Cell cycle analysis and cell proliferation assays were performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of sunitinib in vitro. Western-blot analysis was performed to evaluate variations in the levels of phosphorylated plateletderived growth factor receptor β (PDGFR-β), Akt, and ERK proteins. Co-injection of SW620 cells and colonic fibreblasts in nude mice was employed to test anti-growth efficacy in vivo. Results: Sunitinib was found to effectively inhibit the growth of primary colonic fibroblasts. Low-dose sunitinib blocked the PDGF-BB-induced cell proliferation and PDGFR-β signaling. Co-injection of SW620 cells and colonic fibroblasts in nude mice generated greater tumor volumes than single injection of SW620 cells. Sunitinib treatment inhibited the SW620 cell+colonic fibroblast tumor growth more effectively than treatment of 5-fluorouracil. Conclusions: Sunitinib mesylate inhibited the proliferation of primary human colonic fibroblasts through target-inhibited PDGFR signaling in vitro and in vivo.展开更多

文摘Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors, which represent approximately 1% of the neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract. These tumors rarely give extra-abdominal metastases. However, their clinical outcome is potentially adverse. In some rare cases, co- existance of GISTs with other malignancies has been reported. Here we present a case of a 74-year old male with GIST, which was managed by surgical resection. Fourteen months later, the patient presented with liver metastases and imatinib mesylated was administered. During treatment, the patient reported skeletal pain and plane X-rays revealed osteolytic bone lesions. Further investigation revealed the presence of multiple myeloma.

文摘Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract.GISTs may coexist with different types of cancer,either synchronous or metachronous (1).Most GISTs develop in a sporadic fashion,but familial occurrence,such as neurofibromatosis and Carney-triad,has also been reported (2).The overall frequency of second tumors in different series varied from 4.5% to 33%.The most frequent types of GIST-associated cancers were gastrointestinal carcinomas (47%),lymphoma/leukemia (7%),carcinomas of prostate (9%),breast (7%),kidney (6%),lung (5%),female genital tract (5%),carcinoid tumors (3%),soft tissue and bone sarcomas (3%),malignant melanoma (2%) and seminoma (1%) (1,3-5).
文摘Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the preferred dialysis modality in critical care settings for patients with hemodynamic instability. Nafamostat mesylate (NM) is an anticoagulant commonly used (mainly in Japan) during CRRT in patients with high bleeding risk. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacokinetics of NM during CRRT. Patients undergoing CRRT therapy and using NM as the anticoagulant in the intensive care unit were enrolled in the study. Blood was collected from the CRRT circuit just after blood removal, just before and after the membrane for CRRT, and from the filtrates after the membrane. NM concentrations were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. NM was detected in the intracorporeal circulation during CRRT in some cases, and liver enzymes were severely elevated in almost all of the cases. Coagulation time was prolonged even before the initiation of NM administration in these cases and may be associated with liver damage. This study suggests that NM dosage should take into account liver damage assessed by elevated liver enzymes.

文摘A simple and straightforward method for the determination of dolasetron mesylate(DM) in aqueous solution was developed based on the fluorescence quenching of 3-Mercaptopropionic acid(MPA) capped Cd S quantum dots(QDs).The structure,morphology,and optical properties of synthesized QDs were characterized by using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy,fluorescence spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and dynamic light scattering(DLS) measurements.Under the optimum conditions,the MPA-Cd S QDs fluorescence probe offered good sensitivity and selectivity for detecting DM.The probe provided a highly specific selectivity and a linear detection of DM in the range of 2–40 μg/m L with detection limit(LOD) 1.512 μg/m L.The common excipients did not interfere in the proposed method.The fluorescence quenching mechanism of Cd S QDs is also discussed.The developed sensor was applied to the quantification of DM in urine and human serum sample with satisfactory results.

文摘Objective: Cancer stromal fibroblasts are important members of the cancer microenvironment. In this study, we determined the effect of sunitinib, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on the primary human colonic fibroblasts. Methods: Cell cycle analysis and cell proliferation assays were performed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of sunitinib in vitro. Western-blot analysis was performed to evaluate variations in the levels of phosphorylated plateletderived growth factor receptor β (PDGFR-β), Akt, and ERK proteins. Co-injection of SW620 cells and colonic fibreblasts in nude mice was employed to test anti-growth efficacy in vivo. Results: Sunitinib was found to effectively inhibit the growth of primary colonic fibroblasts. Low-dose sunitinib blocked the PDGF-BB-induced cell proliferation and PDGFR-β signaling. Co-injection of SW620 cells and colonic fibroblasts in nude mice generated greater tumor volumes than single injection of SW620 cells. Sunitinib treatment inhibited the SW620 cell+colonic fibroblast tumor growth more effectively than treatment of 5-fluorouracil. Conclusions: Sunitinib mesylate inhibited the proliferation of primary human colonic fibroblasts through target-inhibited PDGFR signaling in vitro and in vivo.

文摘The structures of solid dosage forms determine their release behaviors and are critical attributes for the design and evaluation of the solid dosage forms.Here,the 3D structures of doxazosin mesylate sustained-release tablets were parallelly assessed by micro-computed tomography(micro-CT).There were no significant differences observed in the release profiles between the RLD and the generic formulation in the conventional dissolution,but the generic preparation released slightly faster in media with ethanol during an alcohol-induced dose-dumping test.With their 3D structures obtained via micro-CT determination,the unique release behaviors of both RLD and the generic were investigated to reveal the effects of internal fine structure on the release kinetics.The structural parameters for both preparations were similar in conventional dissolution test,while the dissolutions in ethanol media showed some distinctions between RLD and generic preparations due to their static and dynamic structures.Furthermore,the findings revealed that the presence of ethanol accelerated dissolution and induced changes in internal structure of both RLD and generic preparations.Moreover,structure parameters like volume and area of outer contour,remaining solid volume and cavity volumewere not equivalent between the two formulations in 40%ethanol.In conclusion,the structure data obtained from this study provided valuable insights into the diverse release behaviors observed in various modified-release formulations in drug development and quality control.
