Apoptosis is an important means to regulate cell proliferation and maintain homeostasis. Recent researches have shown that the B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) family not only plays a dominant role in the regulation of normal cell apoptosis, but also plays a crucial role in the formation of tumor genesis, progression and subsequent drug resistance mediated by the escape mode of apoptosis. The phenomenon that BCL-2 family antagonized the apoptosis induced by antitumor drugs and then acquired drug resistance has been reported in the clinical treatment of hematologic lymphatic system tumors, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer and other diseases. Thus, specific inhibitors targeting anti-apoptotic members of the BCL-2 family have emerged with the development of research. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the regulation of apoptosis mediated by BCL-2 family and the drug resistance mediated by BCL-2 family. Meanwhile, we summarized the research advances of BCL-2 family specific inhibitors to provide new strategy for solving the problems on tumor therapeutic resistance and for finding new therapeutic targets in the future.
ObjectiveTo introduce economic evaluation methods for anticancer-drugs with basket trial design, and to provide references for related research and decision-making. MethodsA case analysis was conducted on economic evaluation methods for anticancer-drugs with basket trial design, which was issued by Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) in the Economic Guidance Report. Moreover, both the advantages and disadvantages of the methods were analyzed in accordance with the characteristics of basket trials. ResultsPooled analysis and tumor-specific analysis were two methods frequently employed in the case analysis. However, great uncertainties were available in both of them. The uncertainty of the former was mainly reflected in the heterogeneity of the targeted population, while the uncertainty of the latter was mainly shown in the insufficient sample size of the subgroup. ConclusionCurrently, economic evaluation methods for anticancer-drugs with basket trial design are immature. Thus, researchers are required to explore the methods of innovation evaluation with lower uncertainty; reimbursement decision-makers should fully consider the uncertainty of evaluation results and enterprises should collect the real-world data for the demands of evaluation to promote the reasonable allocation of healthcare resources in China.

ObjectivesTo systematically review the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for arrhythmia caused by anthracycline drugs.MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine for arrhythmia caused by anthracycline drugs from inception to October 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by Revman 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 4 RCTs involving 312 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: the incidence of tachycardia in the Wenxin granule treatment group was lower than that in the control group (RR=0.35, 95%CI 0.18 to 0.67, P=0.002). Baoxinkang was more effective than antioxidant western medicine in protecting myocardial SOD activity (RR=2.25, 95%CI 1.74 to 2.76, P<0.000 01). But there was no significant difference between two groups on the incidence of atrial premature beats (RR=0.40, 95%CI 0.15 to 1.08,P=0.07), premature ventricular contractions (RR=0.56, 95%CI 0.23 to 1.34, P=0.19) and atrial fibrillation (RR=0.41, 95%CI 0.11 to 1.53, P=0.18). In addition, there was no significant difference between Wenxin granules and amiodarone in treating arrhythmia induced by anthracycline. The addition of Wenxin granules on the basis of anthracycline antitumor chemotherapy regimens was not effective in delaying disease progression compared with anthracycline alone. Wenxin granules could not change the SOD level of breast cancer patients with cardiotoxicity caused by anthracycline chemotherapy, compared with chemotherapy and basic treatment.ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that Wenxin granules can prevent and reduce anthracycline-induced tachycardia, but its efficacy in improving the overall efficiency, preventing and reducing atrial premature beats, premature ventricular contractions, atrial fibrillation, and SOD levels are unclear. Baoxinkang can protect myocardial SOD activity. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk of myocarditis caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). MethodsThe adverse reaction (ADR) reports on myocarditis caused by atelizumab, duvalizumab, pabolizumab, and navulizumab were downloaded from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2022. The relevant analysis was conducted on the gender, age, medication dosage, and occurrence time of ICI related myocarditis patients. ResultsA total of 1 892 reports of myocarditis induced by ICI were included. The proportion of myocarditis caused by ICI was higher in males than in females (1.9∶1). The incidence of myocarditis in patients with basic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease, and in the age group 65-75 was relatively high. The incidence of myocarditis caused by navulizumab was high within 30 days with the use of conventional doses, and that of the other three drugs were high within 31 to 90 days. And the incidence of myocarditis is higher when used in combination than when used alone. ConclusionDifferent varieties of ICI can lead to the occurrence of myocarditis, and male, elderly, underlying diseases, and combination therapy may be risk factors for myocarditis caused by ICI.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the characteristics, main contents, key elements and techniques of global drug value assessment tools, especially for those developed for antineoplastic agents, and to provide reference for the establishment of the first value assessment tool for antineoplastic agents in China.MethodsDatabases including MEDLINE, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data and 19 relevant websites of institutions and societies were searched from inception to October 31st, 2018 to identify all the drug value assessment tools worldwide. Two independent reviewers screened the literatures, extracted the data and cross-checked them according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A qualitative analysis was conducted to describe the characteristics of these drug value assessment tools, including the publishing organization, year of publication, country, applicable type of disease and drug category, result display, and etc. Key elements and techniques in terms of evaluation dimensions, sources and levels of evidence, methods and procedures to form the tool were compared.ResultsA total of 12 English drug value assessment tools were included, which were published in 2010 to 2018 exclusively from Europe and North America. The applicable types of diseases and drug categories are not identical. The target users and stakeholders of each tool were slightly different. Evaluation dimensions, sources and levels of evidence, methods and procedures to form the tool were vital issues in value evaluation for drugs.ConclusionsThe structures of existing drug value assessment tools were almost the identical. However, there is no consensus on value definitions, evaluation dimensions, sources of evidence and result display. Methods and procedures to form the tool are not well described. It is urgent to explore and develop a value-oriented, focused and feasible drug assessment tool for antineoplastic agents in order to satisfy the strategic requirements of value-based post-marketing drug reevaluation.
We compared the sensitivities of human embryo conjtmctival fihroblasts(HECF)and rabbit conjunctival fibroblasts(RCF)m five anlineoplasties in vitro.When the concentration of vincrismum and doxorubicin was 0.001~10mg/L.5-FU was 1~1000mg/L and cisplatin was 0.01~10mg/L,the sensitivities of HECF to tile drugs were lower than that of RCF (Plt;0.01).while the difference of the sensitivilics be;ween HECF and RCF to VP-16 was not significant (P＜0.05). The results suggested that the selection of therapeutic agents for intraocular proliferative disease wilh'hunmn conjunctiva fihroblasts may be more valuable than that with RCF. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1994,10:223-225）
