The aim of this study was to determine whether the addition of perioperative rh-endostatin to chemotherapy could improve the probability of distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS) and overall survival(OS) in patients newly diagnosed with non-metastatic conventional osteosarcoma.Methods: This was a controlled non-randomized clinical study that included 388 patients without clinically detectable metastatic disease enrolled from January 2008 to April 2012. The control treatment group had 272 patients; 180 were male and 92, female,with a median age of 17 years. The treatment group had 58 patients; 36 were male and 22, female, with a median age of 16 years.The control group received preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. The treatment group received 4 cycles of rh-endostatin perioperatively in addition to chemotherapy as per the control group. Patients were followed up from 6-101 months with a median follow-up period of 50.2 months.Results: The 5-year DMFS of the control group(61%) was significantly lower than that of the rh-endostatin group(79%)(P = 0.013). The 5-year OS of the control group(74%) was significantly lower than that of the rh-endostatin treatment group(87%)(P = 0.029). No difference in adverse drug reactions was found between these 2 groups.Conclusions: The addition of perioperative rh-endostatin to chemotherapy could significantly improve the DMFS and OS of patients with non-metastatic osteosarcoma.展开更多

We also investigated the reversal effect of Huaier aqueous extract in reversing cisplatin resistance in human lung adenocarcinoma A549/DDP cells. Methods: We treated A549 cells with Huaier aqueous extract and the combination of Huaier aqueous extract and DDP or rh-Endostatin for 24 h, 36 h and 48 h. And then we calculated the inhibition rate through MTT approach and detected the apoptosis rate by flow cytometry. We also treated A549 and A549/DDP cells with DDP, Huaier aqueous extract, DDP and Huaier aqueous extract for 72 h, respectively. Results: Huaier aqueous extract can inhibit the growth of A549 cells and the inhibition rate improved with the increase of the concentration. The inhibition rate of the combination of rh-Endostatin and 4 mg/mL of Huaier aqueous extract in three time points and the combination of rh-Endostatin and 2 mg/mL of Huaier aqueous extract in the time point of 48 h on the growth of A549 cells all improved(P < 0.005). The inhibition rate of the combination of DDP and Huaier aqueous extract with the concentration of 2 mg/mL or 4 mg/mL on the growth of A549 cells all improved(P < 0.005). The combination of Huaier aqueous extract and DDP and the combination of Huaier aqueous extract with rh-Endostatin and DDP can improve the inhibition on the growth of A549 cells(P < 0.005). Conclusion: Huaier aqueous extract has the inhibition and apoptosis-inducing effects on the A549 cells. And the combination of Huaier aqueous extract and rh-Endostatin or DDP has the synergistic effects on the inhibition of A549 cells. The combination of Huaier aqueous extract with rh-Endostatin and DDP has the synergistic effects on the inhibition of A549 cells. Huaier aqueous extract can reverse the cisplatin resistance in human lung adenocarcinoma A549/DDP cells.展开更多

Methods： Nude mice were randomized into 4 groups, blank control group [did not burden tumor, normalsaline （NS） 100 μL/d], drug control group （did not burden tumor, rh-endostatin 400 μg/d）, model group （mice burdened tumor, NS 100 μL/d） and treatment group （mice burdened tumor, rh-endostatin 400 μg/d）, administration was given during d1-d28. The volume of tumor and the weight of mouse were measured before and after administration. The expression of CD34, MMP-2, MMP-9, HIF-la and VEGF in myocardium and tumor were detected by immunohistochemistry. The structure of vasculature was observed by immunoenzymatic double staining with CD34 and Masson. Results： The tumor volume increase of treatment group （48.18 mm3） was less than the model group （113.80 mm3）, the change of weight was not significant among the four groups. After treated with endotar, the expression of MMP-9 and VEGF in tumor were obviously down-regulated, but the same results was not found in MMP-2, HIF-la of tumor. MVD in tumor of treatment group decreased significantly compared with model group. Proportion of tumor vessels covered by collagen in treatment group increased compared with model group. However, MVD and microvasculature in myocardium did not change significantly. Conclusion： Rh-endostatin can decrease the expression of MMP-9, VEGF and MVD to inhibit growth of tumor and normalize micrangium in tumor but cannot weaken MMPs and MVD of mature micrangium in myocardium.展开更多

The control group was treated with chemotherapy regime FOLFOX4(Oxaliplatin + Fluorouracil + Calcium Levofolinate), the test group was treated by Endostar combined with FOLFOX4 scheme.Results The response rates were 53.3% in test group and 36.7% in control group respectively(P < 0.05), the disease control rate were 83.3% and 73.3%(P < 0.05). The median progression-free survival in test group and control group were 7.3 months versus 5.3 months(P < 0.05) and median overall survival were 11.6 months versus 9.3 months(P < 0.05). Among 27 cases of liver metastases were sub group analysis, difference on the test group and the control group response rate(RR) and disease control rate(DCR) had statistical significance(P < 0.05), but difference on progression free survival(PFS) and overall survival(OS) had no statistical significance(P > 0.05). The major toxicities were myelosuppression, gastrointestinal symptoms, neurotoxicity, most in grade I-II. After chemotherapy, quality of life(QOL) of patients were more improved than before treatment. After treatment the carcino embryonie antigen(CEA) and caner antigent 199(CA199) levels decreased obviously, furthermore, the test group decreased more obviously than the control group. Conclusion Rh-endostatin combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer is safer and effective, and also improves PFS.展开更多
