Methods 35 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were collected as the research objects.CTCs density were enriched through gradient centrifugation and negative-immunomagnetic methods, then the cells were detected by chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization combined with immunofluorescence tests to identify CTCs. The clinical characters were recorded and the data were statistically analyzed. Results All the patients were detected CTC positive. The number of CTC was (4.1±2.5).The patients were divided into 2 groups.Group Ⅰ included patients whose CTCs were <5,and others were included in group Ⅱ.The difference between number of group I and group Ⅱ had significant significance(P=0.001); Metastasis had nothing to do with patients' sex and age(P=0.581,0.531); The number of CTCs was related to metastasis and prognosis(P=0.024,0.01),and there was significant statistic significance between group I and group Ⅱ. Conclusion The number of CTCs was related to tumor metastasis.The tumor may be more prone to occur metastasis and may had worse prognosis,and the patients may had shorter life time when the number of CTCs was≥5.
Chemotherapeutic targeting of cancer-induced immunosuppressive cells: an update research
JIANG Qi, QIAN Qijun
2015, 33(2): 163-166,182. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-0111.2015.02.019
Abstract:
Cancer-induced immunosuppressive cells play an important immunosuppressive role during the tumor development process, and the development and progression of tumors are always accompanied with abnormal accumulation of cancer-induced immunosuppressive cells. Regulatory T lymphocytes (Treg) and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are major components of these inhibitory cellular networks, and they can inhibit antitumor immune response through multiple mechanisms. Recent studies have provided evidence that beyond their direct cytotoxic or cytostatic effects on cancer cells, some conventional chemotherapeutic drugs and agents used in targeted therapies can promote the elimination or inactivation of suppressive Tregs or MDSCs, resulting in enhanced anti-tumor immunity. Hence, chemotherapeutics, used as a preconditioning regimen and combined with subsequent immunotherapy, can promote anti-tumor immune response. Anticancer chemoimmunotherapy strategy will change the recognization of the role for conventional chemotherapy in anticancer treatment, and it will be helpful to optimize the chemotherapy strategies more reasonably.

Abstract:
Objective To explore the working pattern for endocrinology clinical pharmacists participating in clinical drug treatment. Methods By participating in the treatment for a patient with diabetes and hyperprolactinemia and analyzing the causes of poor glycemic control and hyperprolactinemia, clinical pharmacists proposed therapeutic regimen. Results The long-term psychotropic medication may be one of the reasons why blood glucose of the patient was unsatisfactorily controlled. The patient with hyperprolactinemia may be associated with her longstanding use of paliperidone. The patient was recommended to consult a psychiatrist and switch to an alternative medication which does not cause hyperprolactinemia. Conclusion The active participation of clinical pharmacists during clinical drug therapy could improve the medication rationality and compliance of patients with drugs.

Excel was used to carry out classification and statistics for the information of drug shortages combined with the explanations that the supplier failed to supply to summarize the external cause and internal cause of drug shortages in medical institutions. Results In 2012, the dispensing department received a total of 46862 plans, and 1423 items were badly-needed drugs.The drug shortage rate was 3.0%. 643 times of drug shortages were caused by external causes which accountedfor 45.2% of all the shortages; 780 times of the drug shortages were caused by internal causes which accounted for 54.8%. Price inversion accounted for 40.7% in the external causes that lead to the drug shortages, and it was the top of the external causes for drug shortages. The low-priced small varieties and generic drugs accounted for 71.2% of drug shortages caused by external causes; in the internal causes of drug shortages, the inventory control accounted for 45.0%, ranked the first. Conclusion The scientific and reasonable drug price, the improvement of bidding policy, the joint effort of all parties of drug supply chain, and the enhancement of the early warning and management of the badly-needed drugs can reduce drug shortage.
