Long-term survival of a case with multiple liver metastases from duodenal gastrointestinal stromal tumor drastically reduced by the treatment with imatinib and hepatectomy

Constitutive activation of KIT receptor tyrosine kinase is a critical factor in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors （GISTs）. But there is little information on whether combination of imatinib mesylate （IM） and surgical treatment can prolong survival in the cases with unresectable multiple liver metastases. We report a case of postoperative recurrence of GIST treated by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor IN and surgical treatment. The initial complete response （CR） to treatment continued for 18 mo, but single liver metastasis showed regrowth in the left hepatic lobe during IN treatment. After partial resection of the recurrent tumor, postoperative course was uneventful and the patient has survived without recurrence for 24 too. Currently, imatinib is the first- line therapy for non-resectable GISTs, but a single agent therapy often leads to tumor resistance. Even if tolerance to imatinib occurs, a combination of imatinib and surgical treatment can prolong survival in some cases as reported here. However, further studies on a large number of cases of recurrent GIST are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of IN treatment combined with surgery.

Related factors of dilated cardiomyopathy

Objective To investigate the etiology and relative factors of dilated cardiomyopathy （DCM） in Chinese patients. Methods A case-control study was conducted to compare 233 patients with DCM in high-incidence areas （case group） and 150 patients with stable angina pectoris （control group）. Life styles and history of diseases information was collected by questionaire; human anti-myocardial antibody lgG （AMA- IgG）, human Coxsackie B virus IgG （CBV- IgG） and human adenovirus antibody IgG （ADV- IgG） were measured with ELISA. General chemical and toxicological indicators in drink water from high and low prevalence areas and serum trace elements also were compared. Results 1） Compared with the control group, the case group had more farmers （P 〈 0.01）, with low average incomes （P 〈 0.01 ）, higher alcohol consumption （P 〈 0.01） and higher incidence of the history of myocarditis （P 〈 0.01）. 2） AMA-IgG, CBV-IgG and ADV-IgG levels were low and the positive rates ofAMA-IgG, CBV-IgG and ADV-IgG of patients with DCM were respectively 7.78%, 6.67% and 6.67%, no statistical significance comparing with those in the control group. 3） The content of iron （1.36±2.18 vs 0.39±0.67 rag/L, P〈0.05） and manganese （0.38±0.35 vs 0.15±0.14, P〈0.01） in drinking water of high-incidence areas was significantly higher than that in low-incidence areas. 4） The content of serum iron （69.1±57.8 vs 20.0±17.5 umol/L, P〈0.01 ） and copper （25.7±4.2 vs 19.7±4.5 umol/L, P〈0.01） in the case group evidently exceeded the normal range and obviously higher than that in the control group. Conclusions 1） The incidence of some DCM is related with low incomes, high alcohol consumption and myoearditis. 2） These data do not support that DCM is related with persistent virus infection and autoimmunization; 3） Iron and manganese contents exceeding standards in drinking water and the high content of serum iron and copper is comparatively related with the incidence of DCM.

A tribute to Dr.Frank I Tovey on his 90th birthday

This paper pays a tribute to Dr.Frank I Tovey on his 90th birthday which happens on September 1,2011,and briefly describes the major findings in his research career and contributions as follows.The geographical prevalence of duodenal ulceration is related to staple diets.Unrefined wheat and maize,soya,certain pulses and millets are associated with a low prevalence while refined wheat,maize and rice,yams,cassava and green banana with a high prevalence.Predominant foodstuffs from low prevalence areas are ulceroprotective in rat peptic ulcer models.The protective activity lies in the lipid fraction present in these foodstuffs.The lipid fraction also promotes ulcer healing,is active both orally and intramuscularly and is ulceroprotective against nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs).The phospholipids and phytosterols present in the lipid have been identified to be responsible for this protective activity.The combination of phospholipids and phytosterols may be of value in the prevention and treatment of duodenal ulceration and protection against the ulcerogenic effect of NSAIDs.

Charlson comorbidity index helps predict the risk of mortality for patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy

Our intent is to examine the predictive role of Charlson comorbidity index （CCI） on mortality of patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy （DN）. Based on the CCI score, the severity of comorbidity was categorized into three grades： mild, with CCI scores of 1-2; moderate, with CCI scores of 3-4; and severe, with CCI scores 〉5. Factors influencing mortality and differences between groups stratified by CCI were determined by logistical regression analysis and one-way analysis of variance （ANOVA）. The impact of CCI on mortality was assessed by the Kaplan- Meier analysis. A total of 533 patients with type 2 DN were enrolled in this study, all of them had comorbidity （CCI score 〉1）, and 44.7% （238/533） died. The mortality increased with CCI scores： 21.0% （50/238） patients with CCI scores of 1-2, 56.7% （135/238） patients with CCI scores of 3-4, and 22.3% （53/238） patients with CCI scores 〉5. Logistical regression analysis showed that CCI scores, hemoglobin, and serum albumin were the potential predictors of mortality （P〈0.05）. One-way ANOVA analysis showed that DN patients with higher CCI scores had lower levels of hemoglobulin, higher levels of serum creatinine, and higher mortality rates than those with lower CCI scores. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that survival time decreased when the CCI scores and mortality rates went up. In con- clusion, CCI provides a simple, readily applicable, and valid method for classifying comorbidities and predicting the mortality of type 2 DN. An increased awareness of the potential comorbidities in type 2 DN patients may provide insights into this complicated disease and improve the outcomes by identifying and treating patients earlier and more effectively.

Survival rate:an indicator of the management of acquired immune deficiency syndrome using Traditional Chinese Medicine

Complementary and alternative medicine,including Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM),has been used as therapy against acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) for almost 30 years. Based on evaluation indicators for AIDS treatment using TCM,we discuss why the survival rate(which has been used widely in Western Medicine) should be adopted as a new important indicator of TCM treatment for AIDS. We advise that further prospective or retrospective cohort studies should be carried out to confirm this hypothesis.
