The patient only received epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor antibody (Cetuximab) plus recombinant human endostatin (Endostar). Anti-tumor activity was assessed by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computer tomography (PET/CT) at baseline and then every 4 wk. The case illustrates that 18FDG-PET/CT could make an early prediction of the response to Cetuximab plus Endostar in such clinical situations. 18FDG-PET/CT is a useful molecular imaging modality to evaluate the biological response advanced hepatic metastasis and peritoneal carcinomatosis to Cetuximab plus Endostar in patients after remnant gastric cancer resection.展开更多

Results: All the 117 cases of patients were evaluated according to relevant standards, and there were 12 cases of complete remission (CR), 30 cases of partial remission (PR), 58 cases of stable disease (SD), 17 cases of progressive disease (PD). The response rate (RR) was 35.8%, disease control rate (DCR) was 85.4%. Conclusion: The protocol of Endostar combined with chemotherapy could improve the quality of life of patients with malignances, it also has the advantage of low toxicity. Considering the time span of the study, the long-term efficacy remains to be observed.展开更多

Methods: A total of 30 C57 rats were selected, and the monoplast suspension of Lewis lung cancer was injected into the left axilla to prepare the subcutaneous transplanted tumor models in the axilla of right upper limb. The models were randomly divided into Groups A, B, and C. Medication was conducted when the tumor grew to 400 mm3. Group A was the control group without any interventional treatment. Group B was injected with Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. Group C was given the injection of Endostar 5 mg.kg-1.d combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin 5 mg.kg-1.d for 10 d. All the rats in three groups were executed the day after the 10-d medication and the tumor was taken off for measurement of volume and mass changes and calculation of antitumor rate, after which the vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) concentration in rats' plasma was determined by ELISA. The tumor tissues were cut for the preparation of conventional biopsies. After hematoxylin-eosin staining, the pathologic histology was examined to observe the structures of tumor tissues, VEGF score and microvessel density(MVD) in each group. Results: The volume and mass of tumor in Groups B and C were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05) while the tumor volume and mass in Group C were significantly lower than Group B(P < 0.05). The antitumor rate in Group C was significantly higher than Group B(P < 0.05), but the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level in Group C were significantly lower than Groups A and B(P < 0.05). In Group B, the tumor VEGF score, MVD and plasma VEGF level were significantly lower than Group A(P < 0.05). The microscopic image of Group C showed that its number of active tumor cells and the blood capillary around tumor was significantly smaller than that of Groups A and B, and meanwhile atrophy and liquefactive necrosis were seen in local tumor. Conclusions: Endostar injection combined with intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin is effective in reducing tumor VEGF score and MVD of transplanted tumor tissues in rats with Lewis lung cancer to obstruct the nutrient supply of tumor cells and kill tumor cells, so that the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and metastasis can be achieved with a remarkable effect.展开更多

Aiming at offering experimental evidences for anti-angiogenesis therapy, we transplanted the eutopic endometrium from patient with endometriosis into the severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) mice, to evaluate the effect of the endostatin on the growth and angiogenesis of the established endometriosis lesions in SCID mice model. Methods Eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis was transplanted into the SCID mice. The mice were randomized into treatment (n= 10) and control groups (n=10). Two weeks after the implantation of endometrium fragment, the treatment group was injected with recombinant human endostatin YH-16 into the peritoneal cavity (2 mg·kg^-1·d^-1), whereas the control group received equivalent volume of PBS (200 μl/d). The volume of endometriotic lesions in SCID mice was measured every three days, and all the treatment lasted for 14 days. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine microvessel density (MVD) and the expression of VEGF. The results were analyzed by t test and X^2 test to value the treating effect. Results Compared with the control group, growth of endometriosis lesion was reduced in the mice treated with YH-16. Statistically significant differences in the volume and weight of the ectopic lesions were observed between the treatment and the control groups (P〈0.05). Microscopical examination showed that after being treated with YH-16, the volume of the endometrial tissues decreased, the glands depauperated, and the glandular epithelium partially degenerated. Necrotic debris was observed in the endometrial stroma. MVD and expression of VEGF in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P〈0.05).Conclusions Recombinant human endostatin affects the maintenance and growth of endometriotic tissues by inhibiting angiogenesis and reducing the expression of VEGF in ectopic lesion. The angiostatic agent may be promising as a therapy for endometriosis.展开更多

文摘Objective Medulloblastoma(MB)is the most common primary central nervous system malignancy in children.Nonetheless,there is no standard treatment for recurrent MB.The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical value and toxicity of recombinant human endostatin injection(Endostar~?)combined with craniospinal radiotherapy for the treatment of recurrent MB in children.Methods This study retrospectively analyzed 13 patients with recurrent MB aged 5–18 years.Endostar?7.5 mg/m~2/d was synchronized during craniospinal radiotherapy for 7 children with a portable micro uniform speed infusion pump.Endostar~?was applied 3 days prior to the initiation of radiotherapy.The drug was in continuous use for 7 days.Similarly,the withdrawal of the drug took place over 7 days.This represented a cycle.During radiotherapy,the application was repeated until the end of radiotherapy(experimental group).In the other 6 cases,only craniospinal radiotherapy was used(control group).Results The complete remission rate was 71.4%in the experimental group and 16.7%in the control group.The median progression-free survival(PFS)was 14 months(95%CI:0.0–29.60)and 19 months(95%CI:0.0–39.53)in the experimental and control groups,respectively.The median overall survival(OS)was 19 months(95%CI:0.0–38.20)and 23 months(95%CI:2.47–43.53)in the experimental and control groups,respectively.The most common adverse events included grade 1 thrombocytopenia(7.7%),grade 3 neutropenia(38.5%),and grade 1 anemia(30.8%).Conclusion Endostar~?synchronizing craniospinal radiotherapy significantly improved the complete response rate of children with recurrent MB.It did not increase the side effects of radiation therapy.However,it did not improve the PFS or OS.
文摘In order to investigate the inhibitory effects of Endostar(rh-endostatin,YH-16)in combination with radiotherapy on lung adenocarcinoma A549 in mice and the interaction mechanisms of combined therapy,the transplantation tumor models of A549 lung adenocarcinoma were established.When the largest diameter of tumor reached 1.0cm,all nude mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:Endostar group,radiotherapy group,radiotherapy plus Endostar(combined treatment)group,and control group(n=6 in each group).The largest d...
