攀登鱼藤异黄酮脂质体有较好的物理性能及抗乳腺癌细胞的增殖活性

三阴性乳腺癌是指雌激素受体(ER )、孕激素受体(PR )和人表皮生长因子受体(HER-2)均为阴性的一类乳腺癌,具有肿瘤体积大、分化低、转移率和复发率高等特点,发病率占乳腺癌总数的15%~25%[1-3],并且呈现出较高的致死率[4-5]。

乳腺癌的治疗方式主要包括乳房切除、化疗、放疗以及联合疗法等[6]。

与其他乳腺癌相比,三阴性乳腺癌易发生远处转移且无靶向治疗药物,主要依赖化疗方法[7-9],但总体预后较差,5年存活率低于30%[3],且存在较高的复发风险[10]。

慢性肾衰竭血清瘦素、胰岛素样生长因子—1水平及意义

慢性肾衰竭血清瘦素、胰岛素样生长因子—1水平及意义

慢性肾衰竭血清瘦素、胰岛素样生长因子—1水平及意义瘦素(Leptin)是近几年来发现的一种由脂肪细胞产生的蛋白,它对调节机体食欲、体重和器官的能量消耗有重要作用。

肾脏是瘦素清除的主要器官,同时瘦素又可对肾脏直接发挥作用。

瘦素是慢性肾功能不全(CRF)时体内聚积的毒素之一,它与胰岛素样生长因子-1(IGF-1)共同作用于慢性肾功能衰竭患者的营养状况。

本文主要探讨慢性肾功能衰竭(CRF)血清瘦素和IGF-1的水平及意义。

一瘦素研究概况1994年hzang等首次鉴定并克隆出了人的肥胖基因,其与小鼠具有高度同源性,同时发现该基因编码的一种含167个酸的蛋白,分子量为16KD,为ob基因的表达产物,被命名为瘦(Leptin)[1]。

瘦素的生理功能包括:感受机营养状态[2],进而抑制食物摄入:刺激或维持能量消耗;影响生殖泌系统;作为一种代谢激素促进一系列代谢过程,如胰岛素释放、糖的解作用、转运等。

瘦素缺乏或瘦素受体缺陷可导胖和垂体功能异常。

二 RCF患者血浆瘦素的变化及影响因素近期的研究认为肾功能衰竭患者同肥胖患者一样,血浆瘦素水平常明显高于正常。

由于瘦素分子量是16KD,可能通过肾小球滤过,假设人的瘦素清肾脏,那么有人做了这方面的研究,KumarS等测定了不同程度能损伤患者的主动脉和肾静脉血浆瘦素水平,发现瘦素的清除在与肾功能有关,同时连续测量通过肾脏的不同浓度和肾血流比率,计算出肾脏瘦素的净排出率为480ng/min,同时也发现在中度肾损伤患者肾脏没有瘦素清除[3],另外监测到尿的瘦素水平低也表明在肾脏降解。

人体处于炎症状态时常常会表现食欲下降,有人用CRP(反应蛋白)增高代表机体存在炎症,研究发现尿毒症患者CRP瘦素确有相关关系,CRP高的患者往往血浆瘦素水平也高。

同时调查蛋白质摄入情况发现,CRP高的患者蛋白质摄入明显低于CRP正常患者。

提示炎症所致的食欲下降与它引起的瘦素增高有关[4]。

三瘦素水平相对增高对CRF病人的影响瘦素对慢性肾衰患者的不利影响可能不止是对机体营养状态的,瘦素增高交感神经兴奋性可能参与了慢性肾衰患者的血压异常,并且因为瘦素无法有效清除而致血压难以控制;慢性肾衰患者高瘦素血症与高胰岛素血症可能互为因果,互相促进;可能导致高脂血症。

抗肿瘤肽的研究及应用

抗肿瘤肽的研究及应用

抗肿瘤肽的研究及应用Anticancer Peptides: Research and ApplicationAbstract: Anticancer peptides are a promising class of therapeutic molecules that have gained increasing attention in the field of cancer treatment due to their selectivity and potency against cancer cells. In this article, we discuss the latest research and applications of anticancer peptides, including their sources, mechanisms of action, and promising preclinical and clinical data. We also examine the challenges and opportunities facing the field of anticancer peptides.Keywords: anticancer peptides, cancer therapy, peptide drugs, mechanism of action, preclinical research, clinical trials. IntroductionCancer is a major global health challenge, and traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery have limitations due to their nonspecific nature and adverse side effects. Anticancer peptides, on the other hand, are a promising class of therapeutic molecules that have shown to be selective and effective against cancer cells with less toxicity. In this review, we discuss the latest research on anticancer peptides, including their sources, mechanisms of action, and promising preclinical and clinical data.Sources of Anticancer PeptidesAnticancer peptides can be found in a variety of sources, includingthe natural defense systems of animals, plants, and microbes, as well as designed peptides based on natural sequences. For example, the amphibian-derived peptide dermaseptin has been shown to exhibit potent anticancer activity through disruption of cancer cell membranes. Similarly, plant-derived peptides such as thionins and cyclotides have shown cytotoxic activity against cancer cells dueto their ability to penetrate the cell membrane. Microbial peptides such as lacticin 3147, designed based on bacterial lantibiotic peptides, have also demonstrated anticancer activity through multiple mechanisms of action.Mechanisms of ActionAnticancer peptides exert their cytotoxic effects through multiple mechanisms of action, including apoptosis, autophagy, necrosis, and senescence. Apoptosis is a programmed cell death mechanism that is activated when a cell is damaged, stressed, or infected. Anticancer peptides can induce apoptosis in cancer cells through various molecular pathways, such as mitochondrial pathway, death receptor pathway, and caspase-independent pathway. Autophagy is a process by which cells recycle damaged or unwanted cellular components through lysosomal degradation. Anticancer peptides such as tachyplesin can induce autophagy in cancer cells, leadingto their death. Necrosis is an uncontrolled form of cell death that occurs after severe cellular trauma or stress. Anticancer peptides can also induce necrosis in cancer cells through their ability to disrupt cell membranes. Senescence is a cellular state of irreversible growth arrest that can prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. Anticancer peptides such as p28 can induce senescence in cancer cells, leading to their growth arrest.Preclinical and Clinical DataPreclinical research on anticancer peptides has shown promising results in vitro and in animal models. For example, the amphibian-derived peptide caerin has shown potent anticancer activity against various cancer cell lines in vitro and reduced tumor growth in mouse xenograft models. Similarly, the microbial peptide lacticin 3147 has shown selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells in vitro and improved survival in mouse models of breast cancer. In addition, several natural and designed peptides have been found to have synergistic effects when combined with conventional chemotherapy drugs.Several anticancer peptides have also advanced to clinical trials, with some showing promising results. For example, the octapeptide d(KLAKLAK)2, which induces apoptosis in cancer cells, has been tested in phase I and phase II clinical trials for treatment of various types of cancer, including glioblastoma and multiple myeloma. Similarly, the cyclic peptide tasidotin has been tested in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with promising results.Challenges and OpportunitiesDespite the promise of anticancer peptides, several challenges remain in their development and application. One challenge is the optimization of peptide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, including their stability, bioavailability, and selective targeting of cancer cells over normal cells. Another challenge is the high costof peptide production and purification, which can limit their accessibility and affordability. Furthermore, a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance to anticancer peptidesis needed to select patients who are most likely to benefit from these therapies.In conclusion, anticancer peptides represent a promising class of therapeutic molecules for the treatment of cancer, with multiple mechanisms of action and potential for combination therapy. While several peptides have shown promising preclinical and clinical results, further research is needed to optimize their efficacy and safety for widespread clinical application.参考文献:1.

Anticancer peptides: from design to clinic.Chemotherapy. 2017; 62(1): 1-13.Optimization of Peptide Pharmacokinetics and PharmacodynamicsOne of the major obstacles in the development of anticancer peptides is the optimization of their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Peptides are generally less stable and have shorter half-lives than small molecule drugs, which can result in lower bioavailability and poorer pharmacokinetic properties. Peptide stability can be improved through modifications such as cyclization, amino acid substitutions, and the addition of chemical groups such as acetylation or amidation. Peptide bioavailability can be improved through formulations such as liposomes, nanoparticles, or conjugation to other molecules. In addition, selective targeting of cancer cells over normal cells can be achieved through conjugation to tumor-targeting peptides or antibodies.Cost of Peptide Production and PurificationAnother challenge in the development of anticancer peptides is the high cost of peptide production and purification. Peptide synthesis is often complex and time-consuming, requiring multiple steps and specialized equipment. In addition, peptide purification can also be challenging, as peptides can be difficult to separate from impurities. Strategies to reduce the cost of peptide production and purification include developing simplified synthesis methods or producing peptides using recombinant technologies, such as expression in bacteria or yeast.Mechanisms of Action and ResistanceA better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance to anticancer peptides is needed to optimize their efficacy and select patients who are most likely to benefit from these therapies. While the mechanisms of action of many anticancer peptides have been studied extensively, the mechanisms of resistance are less well understood. Mechanisms of resistance can include alterations in cellular uptake or efflux of peptides, changes in peptide binding or recognition by cancer cells, and activation of cellular defense mechanisms such as the unfolded protein response or autophagy.Clinical Testing of Anticancer PeptidesDespite these challenges, several anticancer peptides have advanced to clinical testing, with some showing promising results. The octapeptide d(KLAKLAK)2 has been tested in phase I and phase II clinical trials for treatment of various types of cancer, including glioblastoma and multiple myeloma, and has shown encouraging results. The cyclic peptide tasidotin has been tested in phase III clinical trials for the treatment of ovarian cancer, with promising results. In addition, several other peptides are currently in clinical trials, including AMP-514, a designed antimicrobial peptide with anticancer activity.ConclusionAnticancer peptides are a promising class of therapeutic molecules for the treatment of cancer, with multiple mechanisms of action and potential for combination therapy. While several peptides have shown promising preclinical and clinical results, further research isneeded to optimize their efficacy and safety for widespread clinical application. Optimization of peptide pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, reduction of the cost of peptide production and purification, and a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance will be crucial for the successful development of anticancer peptides as a new class of cancertherapies.Optimization of Peptide Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics:Peptide drugs, including anticancer peptides, face several challenges in terms of their pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Peptides are rapidly cleared from the bloodstream and can be rapidly degraded by enzymes, leading to a shorter half-life and lower bioavailability. This makes it difficult to achieve effective concentrations of the drug at the site of action within the body. To overcome these challenges, researchers have developed a range of strategies to enhance the pharmacological properties of peptides. For instance, cyclization or other chemical modifications can promote peptide stability, and conjugation to other molecules such as nanoparticles or polymers or coupling with tumor targeting peptides or antibodies can improve peptide distribution and drug efficacy. However, the optimization process still requires extensive preclinical testing and careful balancing of efficacy, toxicity and pharmacokinetics.Cost of Peptide Production and Purification:The cost of producing and purifying peptides can be prohibitive, particularly for rare or complex sequences of amino acids. Traditional synthetic approaches to peptide synthesis are slow andrequire expensive reagents, while biological methods rely on recombinant protein technology, which has its own limitations. To reduce costs, researchers are exploring alternative routes to peptide synthesis, such as incorporating modifications at the genetic level or using innovative methods such as microfluidics or solid-phase peptide synthesis. Purification of peptides from crude mixtures also presents challenges in terms of optimizing the purity and yield of the final product, with some purification techniques being expensive and time-consuming.Mechanisms of Action and Resistance:The mechanisms of action of anticancer peptides can be complex and varied, and some peptides may exert multiple functions, such as inhibiting tumor cell growth or inducing apoptosis. Understanding the specific mechanisms of action for a given peptide is essential for its clinical development, as well as the identification of potential resistance pathways. Some cancer cells are known to be resistant to some peptide drugs due to changes in cellular uptake or efflux, altered peptide binding or recognition, or activation of cellular defense mechanisms. Researchers are currently investigating the molecular mechanisms of resistance to gain deeper insights into how to circumvent these issues.Clinical Testing of Anticancer Peptides:Clinical trials play a critical role in the development of anticancer peptides. Phase I trials are typically used to evaluate the safety and toxicity of a peptide, while Phase II and III trials assess efficacy and drug performance under more realistic treatment scenarios.The clinical testing process for peptides is especially important, given that peptides are a relatively new therapeutic modality and require unique strategies for optimization of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Strategies such as combination therapy are also under investigation to enhance the efficacy and reduce the risk of resistance. In addition, researchers are also exploring different cancer indications, including rare or orphan diseases, to identify new opportunities for the development of anticancer peptides. Overall, anticancer peptides hold huge promise as a new class of cancer therapies with multiple mechanisms of action and potential for combination therapy. While challenges still exist in terms of optimizing peptide pharmacokinetics, reducing costs, and developing a better understanding of the mechanisms of action and resistance, clinical trials are underway, suggesting that these peptides may offer a new and promising approach to fighting cancer in the future.。

Besides this,leptin is also produced by fat under proinflammatory cytokine action,its increase having been reported in the acute phase reaction of sepsis. Leptin increases by the action of endotoxin or cytokines,and has been involved in the anorexia of infection.3–6Weight loss is frequently observed in advanced cancer.7,8Decreased food intake,hypermetabolism, and acute phase response with metabolic disturbances, partly due to host-derived and tumour substances, including various cytokines,are considered important wasting factors.9–12Since anorexia and hypermetab-olism frequently play a role in the development of cancer cachexia,it has been hypothesized that increased leptin secretion could be involved in its pathogenesis.There is evidence that ob gene expression may be up-regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF 13and IL-1,14which are also involved in the pathophysiology of cancer cachexia.However, Simons et al.15reported low or undetectable circulating leptin concentrations in patients with lung cancer andFrom the1Servicio de Medicina Interna,2Seccio´n de Oncologı´aMe´dica,3Servicio de Laboratorio,Hospital Universitario deCanarias,Tenerife,SpainCorrespondence to:Marı´a Remedios Alema´n,Servicio de MedicinaInterna,Hospital Universitario de Canarias,C/Ofra s/n,Univer-sidad de La Laguna,38320Tenerife,Spain.Tel:(922)678684;Fax:(922)653808;E-mail mraleman@comtf.esReceived3August2001;received in revised form17May2002;accepted for publication10June20021043–4666/02/$-see front matter 2002Elsevier Science Ltd.All rights reserved.KEY WORDS:lung cancer/malnutrition/acute phase reaction/cytokine/leptinCYTOKINE,Vol.19,No.1(7July),2002:pp21–2621weight loss,although these investigators did not examine the relationship with the inflammatory response.Wallace et al.16found that circulating leptin concentrations in gastrointestinal cancer patients were not related to inflammatory response,suggesting that cancer cachexia is not due to a dysregulation of leptin production.Moreover,Lopez Soriano et al.17found that anorexia was not related to leptin changes in experimental cancer.Our objective is to analyse the relation of serum leptin levels with the nutritional status and the inflam-matory response(acute phase reaction)in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.RESULTSThe distribution by stage was:6III A non surgical, 30III B and40IV.The histological distribution was37 (48.7%)adenocarcinoma,22(28.9%)epidermoid and 17(22.4%)large cell carcinoma.Regarding status performance assessment,19(25%)had a Karnofsky of 90%,36(47%)a Karnofsky of80%,and21(27,6%)a Karnofsky of70%.Serum LDH levels were also raised in patients compared with controls(P<0.001).Thirty three patients(43.4%)reported anorexia, 30(23%)had lost at least5%of the body weight(27% of them had lost10%or more)and in12(15.8%) patients the BMI was under20kg/m2.Serum leptin, cholesterol and total lymphocyte count were all lower in patients regarding controls(P<0,001).However,we did notfind significant differences regarding serum albumin levels(Table1).Proinflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF- ,sTNF-RII,sIL-2R and IL-12,antiinflammatory cytokine IL-10,other acute phase reactants as 1antitrypsin, ferritin,CRP and platelets and immune IFN- were all significantly raised in lung cancer patients compared with controls whereas IL-2was decreased(Table1). Leptin,nutritional status and acute phase reaction High serum leptin levels were related with a better status of nutrition,assessed by serum albumin levels, body fat mass,BMI,serum leptin levels and subjective nutritional score.Moreover,we observed a very close, and highly significant,correlation between serum leptin levels and fat mass assessed by bioimpedance (Spearman,rho=0.800,P<0.001)(Table2).We also observed a close relationship,between the nutritional status with the performance status(Karnofsky index): the worse the nutritional status the worse the perform-ance status(serum albumin:P=0.017,fat mass:P=0.015,serum leptin:P=0.015,BMI:P=0.019and SNS:P=0.021).We found a negative relation between serum leptin levels and PCR, 1antitrypsin,platelet count,serum ferritin and the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, sTNF-RII and sIL-2R.So,the status of nutrition was worse and the leptin levels were lower in parallel with a more intense acute phase response(Table2).On the TABLE 1.Nutritional status,leptin,LDH,acute phase response and cytokines levels in patients and controlsPatientsX EE(x)ControlsX EE(x)P(UMW)General

proimmune lymphocyte cytokines IFN- and IL-2.Survival analysisThe median survival of the whole group was 198days.Patients with higher serum LDH levels,lower Karnofsky index and a more impaired nutritionalstatus (lower BMI,serum albumin and leptin levels (Fig.1),and worse subjective nutritional score)had a shorter survival,analysed by Kaplan and Meyer curves (Table 3).Patients with an enhanced acute phase response also showed an impaired prognosis.Excluding TNF ,all proinflammatory cytokines IL-6,sTNF-RII,sIL-2R and IL-12,were related to a worse prognosis.On the contrary,proimmune cytokines IFN- ,IL-2,were related to a better prognosis.Multivariate analysis (Cox regression analysis with covariates)showed that raised serum levels of sTNF-RII, 1antitrypsin,LDH and platelets were all survival factors with independent prognostic value,whereas all the nutritional variables,including serum leptin levels,and Karnofsky index were displaced by the acute phase reactants.DISCUSSIONPatients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer frequently su ffer anorexia,weight loss and malnutri-tion leading to a low BMI,low fat mass and serum leptin levels,all of them factors associated with a worse prognosis.The Karnofsky index is another well known prognostic factor in patients with cancer.Moreover,we observed a close relationship between the performance status and the nutritionalstatus,Figure 1.Decreased serum leptin levels are related to shortersurvival.However at multivariate analysis acute phase reaction (proinflam-matory cytokines)provide a better information about prognosis.TABLE 3.Survival in advanced non-small lung cancer patients.Univariate and multivariate analysisUnivariate analysisMultivariate analysis (Cox regression)Log rank

cancer /23probably reflecting the effect of muscle and other protein loss on performance.It is unclear whether leptin acts as an acute phase reactant,leading to anorexia and malnutrition,or if it is only a simple marker of fat mass in cancer associated malnutrition.Different studies have shown that leptin concentrations are increased during cytokine-induced inflammatory response in sepsis patients,3–6suggesting that raised leptin levels may be related to anorexia. However in many common diseases leading to cachexia,in which there is also an inflammatory status caused by raised proinflammatory cytokines,serum leptin levels are decreased.This is the case of wasting associated to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)in which,despite an increase of TNF ,there are low leptin levels which keep a relation with decreased fat mass,18,19or chronic heart failure cachexia,in which serum TNF and IL-1levels are increased but leptin ones are decreased.20,21Also,in chronic inflammatory bowel disease and in wasting AIDS low or normal serum leptin levels have been reported despite an increase of sTNF-RII.22,23 Our results are in accordance with last studios. Serum leptin levels were lower in patients than in controls and,more decreased in the malnourished patients(as expected the relation was especially close with fat mass),despite an increase of proinflammatory cytokines and acute phase reactants.In advanced lung cancer patients we found that acute phase reactants as CRP,ferritin and 1antitrypsin,the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF- ,sTNF-RII,sIL-2R,IL-12,the antiinflammatory IL-10and the proimmune IFN- were all raised,together with,an impaired nutritional status and low serum leptin levels.On the contrary, IL-2,a proimmune cytokine,was decreased,perhaps pointing to a depressed T cell immune response.More-over,the increased acute phase response and cytokine levels were related to an impaired status of nutrition including decreased serum leptin levels.So,the increase of acute phase reactants related to lower serum leptin levels and worse nutritional and performance status, suggest a stress-type malnutrition.Our results do not support the hypothesis that high serum leptin levels,produced by a intense acute phase reaction,could be involved in anorexia and cachexia associated to cancer.Moreover,serum leptin levels were not higher in patients with anorexia,and weight loss was associated with low serum leptin concentrations.These results are similar to the reports of Simons et al.(1997)15and Brown et al.(2001)24in lung cancer,and Wallace et al.(1998)16in gastro-intestinal cancer and Mantovani et al.(2000)25in pancreas cancer,in which leptin concentrations were not elevated in weight-loosing cancer patients.Although the median survival of the whole group is only198days,by survival analysis we found that the status of nutrition,including leptin,the performance status and the acute phase reaction,were related to prognosis.However,in the multivariate analysis the performance status was displaced by the status of nutrition and this one by the acute phase reaction, indicating that all of them are related,providing similar information about survival,and reinforcing the importance of acute phase reaction and stress malnutrition in the evolution of advanced lung cancer.As conclusion,serum leptin levels are not raised in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer,and its production is not induced by the inflammatory response.Moreover,concentrations of leptin seem appropriate for the amount of body fat.Therefore,it would appear that cancer anorexia and cachexia are due to stress malnutrition and they are not caused by a dysregulation of leptin production.Perhaps in advanced malnutrition serum leptin levels are more dependent on to fat mass than on cytokine effect. MATERIALS AND METHODSPatientsBetween January1997and November1999we studied 76patients(67males and9females),with a median age of 62.5years(range36–75)recently diagnosed of non-small cell lung cancer,in advanced(non-surgical)stage,and before chemotherapy treatment.Patients were not included if brain metastasis were present,or if a poor performance status (Karnofsky index less than70%),or if any other chronic disease producing malnutrition was present.The control group was composed of30healthy subjects(26males and4 females)with a median age of58.5years(range38–75).All patients had been diagnosed by histological or cytological means.Status performance was assessed by the Karfnosky scale26.The TNM classification27was assessed by chest and upper abdominal CT scan,and a bone radionuclide scan,and was used for sstaging.Serum lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) levels were also used as an index of tumour bulk. Nutritional assessmentWeight and height were recorded at admittance,with further calculation of body mass index(BMI)as weight/ height2.Anorexia and weight loss were also recorded with further calculation of weight lost percentage as:weight lost/(current weight+lost weight) 100.Subjective nutritional assessment included examination of the muscle masses of the upper and lower limbs and of the temporal muscle,defining two degrees of atrophy(severe, moderate),and absence of atrophy.We assigned2.1and 0points to each category,respectively.Bichat’s fat and subcutaneous fat atrophy,recorded by physical examination were classified in the same way.Thus,we have defined a subjective nutritional score(SNS)based on the sum of the assigned points,the poorest value being10,and0the best one,as previously reported.28The fat mass and fat-free mass24/Alema´n et al.CYTOKINE,Vol.19,No.1(7July,2002:21–26)were assessed by bioelectric impedance.We also determined serum of cholesterol,lymphocytes and serum albumin levels. Acute phase proteins,cytokines and leptin assessmentBlood samples were obtained at0800h in fasting con-ditions and serum was frozen at 40 C for further deter-mination.Assays performed were:serum leptin levels by Inmunoradiometric Assay(IRMA),CRP by Fluorescence Polarization Immunoassay(FPIA)(Diagnostic Division Abbott),IL-6,TNF- and sIL-2R by chemiluminescent immunometric assay(Diagnostic Products Corporation), IFN- ,IL-2and IL-12by immunoenzymatic assay (Immunotech),IL-10by enzyme immunometric assay in a microplate format(Diagnostic Products Corporation), sTNF-R by Enzyme Amplified Sensitivity Immunoassay (EASIA)performed on microtiter plate(Biosource).All the assays were of high standard quality with very low cross reactivity,i.e.very high specificity.We also determined cholesterol,albumin,ferritin and 1antitrypsin.The same analysis were performed to30healthy controls. Statistical analysisAs most variables,especially leptin,cytokines and CRP, did notfit the normal distribution,as assessed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test,we have performed non parametric tests as Mann Withney U,Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman correlation.Patients were followed until death.Survival curves were plotted by the method of Kaplan and Meier and log rank test were performed for differences in survival.Multivariate analysis(Cox regression with covariate survival analysis)was performed in order to discern which parameters yield inde-pendent predictive value on survival.For the multivariate analysis the cut-offpoints were selected according to those which showed a better significance regarding survival with the Kaplan and Meier analysis.REFERENCES1.Zhang Y,Proenca R,Maffei M,Barone M,Leopold L, Friedman JM(1994)Positional cloning of the mouse obese gene and its human homologue.Nature372:425–432.2.Considine RV,Sinha MK,Heiman ML,Kriauciunas A, Stephens TW,Nyce MR,Ohannesian JP,Marco CC,McKee LJ, Bauer TL,Caro JF(1996)Serum immunoreactive-leptin concen-trations in normal-weight and obese humans.N Engl J Med 334:292–295.3.Carlson GL,Saeed M,Little RA,Irving MH(1999)Serum leptin concentrations and their relation to metabolic abnormalities in human sepsis.Am J Physiol276:658–662.4.Arnalich F,Lo´pez J,Codoceo R,Jime´nez M,Madero R, Montiel C(1999)Relationship of plasma leptin to plasma cytokines and human survivalin sepsis and septic shock.J Infect Dis180: 908–911.5.Papathanassoglou ED,Moynihan JA,Ackerman MH, Mantzoros CS(2001)Serum leptin levels are higher but are not independently associated with severity or mortality in the multiple organ dysfunction/systemic inflammatory response syndrome:a matched case control and a longitudinal study.Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)54:225–233.6.Moses AG,Dowidar N,Holloway B,Waddell I,Fearon KC,Ross JA(2001)Leptin and its relation to weight loss,ob gene expression and the acute-phase response in surgical patients.Br J Surg88:588–593.7.De Wys WD,Begg C,Lavin PT,C q bband PR,Bennet JM, Bertino JR,Cohen MH,Douglass HO,Engstrom PF,Exdinli EZ, Horton J,Johnson GJ,Moertel CG,Oken MM,Perlia C,Rosebaum C,Sivertein MN,Skeel RT,Sponzo RW,Tormey DC(1980) Prognostic effect of weight loss prior to chemotherapy in cancer patients.Am J Med69:491–497.8.Daly JM,Cech AC(1996)Nutrition and neoplasia.In Fischer JE(ed.)Nutrition and Metabolism in the Surgical Patient.
