药理学研究中的动物模型

药理学研究中的动物模型药理学是研究药物对生物系统的作用、药物相互作用及其在人体内的代谢和排泄等方面的科学。
而动物模型则是药理学研究的重要手段之一,是在药理学研究中广泛应用的实验方法。
本文将探讨动物模型在药理学研究中的运用以及存在的问题。
一、动物模型在药理学研究中的运用1.药效学研究药物剂量-反应关系是药一个药物治疗效果的关键参数。
通过对动物模型进行药效学研究,可以帮助研究者确定药物的剂量和给药方法,及其对特定疾病产生的治疗作用。
2.药代动力学研究药代动力学研究涉及药物在生物体内的吸收、分布、代谢及排泄等过程。
通过使用动物模型,研究者可以更好地理解人体内药物相互作用的机制,以及药物在体内的代谢及排泄吸收规律。
3.毒理学研究另外,动物模型也广泛应用于毒理学研究方面。
通过使用动物模型,研究者可以评估药物的毒性,并为药物的临床使用提供指导。
二、动物模型存在的问题1.模型转化性能的问题研究者对动物模型的应用需要深刻认识到动物模型本身具有的局限性。
动物模型无法完全反映人体内部各种细微变化的复杂性,因此,能否将动物的结果转化为人体的治疗方案存疑。
2.道德问题另外,动物模型研究也存在一定的道德问题。
因为动物在实验中往往会受到一定程度的折磨,所以必须确保实验的道德可接受,避免动物受到过度转化。
3.统计学意义上的问题最后,动物模型的应用还可能存在统计学意义上的问题,研究者必须严格控制实验中的各种环境因素,以确保研究结果的可靠性。
三、结语总体来说,动物模型在药理学研究中扮演着重要的角色。
尽管存在一些问题,但研究者仍需要认真对待这种研究方法,尽力避免它的局限性,改善其缺陷,并为临床应用提供可靠的依据。
同时,必须通过科学的伦理道德评估来确保研究过程的公正公平。
只有慎重对待,才能更好地补充人类已知的药理学知识,为发现从动物实验中发现的新药物奠定基础。

RESULTS.Of the49eligible patients,45(92%)had squamous histology and4(6%) had adenocarcinoma.Forty-seven patients(96%)completed external beam radi-ation plus at least2courses of chemotherapy,whereas34patients(69%)were able to complete external beam radiation,EB,and at least2courses of chemotherapy. The estimated survival rate at12months was49%,with an estimated median survival of11months.Life-threatening toxicity or treatment-related death oc-curred in12(24%)and5(10%)cases,respectively.Treatment-related esophageal fistulas occurred in6cases(12%overall,14%of patients starting EB)at0.5–6.2 months from thefirst day of brachytherapy,leading to death in3cases. CONCLUSIONS.In this study,severe toxicity,including treatment-relatedfistulas, occurred within7months of brachytherapy.Based on the12%incidence of fistulas,the authors continue to urge caution in employing EB,particularly when used in conjunction with chemotherapy.Cancer2000;88:988–95.©2000American Cancer Society.KEYWORDS:esophageal carcinoma,brachytherapy,chemoradiation.R adiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy is considered the standard nonsurgical treatment for cancer of the esophagus.A prospective randomized trial(Radiation Therapy Oncology Group [RTOG]8501,Southwest Oncology Group[SWOG]8598,North Cen-tral Cooperative Tumor Group[NCCTG]88-40-51)demonstrated a statistically significant survival advantage for radiation and concur-988©2000American Cancer Societyrent chemotherapy compared with radiation therapy alone.1Following chemoradiation,3-year survival rates were30%,compared with0%with radiation alone.Nevertheless,locoregional tumor control re-mained a major problem,with25%of patients having persistence and20%recurrence of locoregional dis-ease following combined modality treatment.In view of the suboptimal locoregional tumor con-trol,intensification of the radiation dose was thought to be reasonable.Esophageal brachytherapy(EB)was proposed as a“boost”to the primary tumor,allowing relative sparing of the surrounding normal tissues. Several retrospective studies had suggested that EB combined with external beam radiation offered im-proved local control and relief from dysphagia com-pared with historical controls treated with external beam radiation only.2–4Few data were available re-garding the outcome of chemoradiation followed by an intracavitary EB boost.The purpose of RTOG9207was to assess the fea-sibility,toxicity,and efficacy of external beam radia-tion and EB with concurrent chemotherapy.A prelim-inary report concluded that the study was feasible; 70%of patients were able to complete external beam radiation,EB,and at least2courses of chemotherapy.5 The estimated survival rate at12months was48%,with an estimated11-month median survival rate. However,the development of6fistulas in the35pa-tients starting EB was of concern.A follow-up report was deemed important to determine whether there were other unexpected late toxicities.METHODSPatient SelectionAll patients had histologically confirmed squamous cell or adenocarcinoma of the thoracic esophagus measuring10cm or less in length.The esophageal primary tumor had to be clinically limited to the esophagus,with or without the presence of involved regional lymph nodes,i.e.,T1–2,NX–1,M0according to the1983International Union Against Cancer (UICC)clinical staging system(Table1).To be en-rolled,a patient had to have a Karnofsky performance status(KPS)of60or greater,a white blood cell count ofՆ4.0ϫ109cells per liter and plateletsՆ150ϫ109 cells per liter,total serum bilirubinՅ1.5mg%,and serum creatinineՅ1.5mg%and/or creatinine clear-anceՆ65cc/minute.There had to have been no his-tory of prior malignancy other than nonmelanoma cancers of the skin or in situ cervical carcinoma, within5years of entrance to the study.The study protocol was approved by the National Institutes of Health and the Investigational Review Boards at all the participating institutions.All patients gave informed written consent.Ineligibility criteria included cervical esophageal tumors(upper tumor borderϽ18cm from the incisor teeth),extension of tumor to within1cm of gastro-esophageal junction,radiologic or clinical evidence of lymph node metastases to supraclavicular or more distant lymph node groups,and invasion of the tra-cheobronchial tree proven by bronchoscopy. Pretreatment EvaluationsThe following were required within4weeks preced-ing registration:complete medical history and physi-cal examination;complete blood count;biochemical screening profile including alkaline phosphatase,total bilirubin,and creatinine;chest radiography;a barium contrast esophagogram including the proximal stom-ach;abdominal and thoracic computed tomography (CT)scan;and esophageal endoscopy with biopsy. Bronchoscopy was required for all patients with pri-mary tumors situated less than29cm from the inci-sors.Bone scan was required only if the serum alkaline phosphatase was above normal or the patient had complaints of new bone pain.Swallowing was graded according to the scale in Table2.TABLE11983TNM Staging SystemT0No evidence of primary tumorT1InvolvesՅ5cm lengthNo obstructionNot circumferentialConfined to esophageal wallT2InvolvesϾ5cm lengthObstructionCircumferentialConfined to esophageal wallT3Extra esophageal spreadNX Regional lymph nodes cannot be assessed N0No regional lymph node metastasisN1Regional lymph node metastasisM0No distant metastasisM1Distant metastasisTABLE2Grading of Swallowing StatusGrade1No dysphagia—able to eat any solidsGrade2Mild dysphagia—semisolids and liquidsGrade3Moderate dysphagia—able to take liquids only Grade4Complete obstruction—unable to take even liquidsBrachytherapy and Concurrent Chemotherapy for Carcinoma of the Esophagus/Gaspar et al.989Radiation TherapyExternal beamMegavoltage radiation therapy units were used,with a minimum source-to-axis distance of80cm.The radi-ation therapyfield extended at least5cm above and below the tumor,with at least a2cm lateral margin. The radiation therapyfield included the supraclavic-ular fossae if the tumor originated above the level of the carina.Multifield techniques were used to limit the maximum dose to the spinal cord toՅ45grays(Gy).Radiation treatments were delivered5days a week at2Gy per fraction.The initial anterior-posterior par-allel-opposedfields received30Gy.The off-cordfields received20Gy.The total dose was50Gy in25frac-tions over5weeks.All doses were calculated without correction for inhomogeneity of tissue.The dose gra-dient within the volume of tissue treated was not to vary more than10%.BrachytherapyThe EB could be either low-dose-rate(LDR)or high-dose-rate(HDR)iridium-192,although institutions were required to declare themselves HDR or LDR for the entire duration of the study.The ranges of accept-able dose rates for HDR and LDR were0.2–5.0Gy/ minute and0.5–1.0Gy/hour,respectively.The HDR brachytherapy treatment consisted ini-tially of15Gy in3fractions of5Gy during Weeks8,9, and10.The HDR dose was specified at a1cm depth from the middwell position.Equal dwell times were to be used.Center-to-center separations of the dwell po-sitions of the stepping source was to be no more than 1cm.HDR fractions were6–8days apart,given con-currently with the5-fluorouracil(5-FU)in Week8, 24–48hours after starting the5-FU infusion of the third cycle of chemotherapy.Following the observa-tion of severalfistulas in the HDR group,the HDR brachytherapy dose was reduced in December1994to 10Gy in2fractions of5Gy,1week apart in Weeks8 and9.The LDR group received20Gy during Week8, given concurrently with the5-FU infusion of the third cycle of chemotherapy.The LDR dose was specified1 cm from the midsource position.In December1994 the LDR alternative was discontinued,having accrued only19patients in2.5years.The HDR and LDR brachytherapy were delivered with a10–12French applicator(external diameter, 4–6mm),inserted transnasally or transorally.Only single channel applicators were allowed.The active treatment length,i.e.,the distance from the proximal and distal HDR dwell positions or LDR source posi-tions,was the pretreatment esophageal tumor length plus a1cm proximal and distal margin.Given that the protocol only allowed primary tumors up to10cm in length,the maximum active treatment length was12 cm.The esophageal tumor length was determined from the CT scans,barium swallow,and endoscopy findings,taking the longest of the three available de-terminations.Prior to enrolling patients,each radia-tion facility had to submit a“dummy”case,which was reviewed by the Physics Committee of the RTOG to assure correct applicator type and size,radioactive source,and dosimetry.Following the identification of an unexpectedly high rate of esophagealfistulas,the radiation therapy study chairs(L.E.G.and A.H.)reviewed the pretreat-ment CT scans,brachytherapy simulationfilms,and dosimetry data to determine potential contributing factors.Chemotherapy5-FU1000mg per square meter of body-surface area per day was administered as a continuous intravenous infusion for thefirst4days of Weeks1,5,8,and11. Cisplatin75mg per square meter was given at a rate of 1mg per minute on thefirst day of each course.The dose of5-FU was reduced by25%if severe stomatitis or diarrhea developed.The dose of cisplatin was not reduced for transient changes in renal function but was reduced by25%or50%if the granulocyte count fell below3.0ϫ109cells per liter or1.0ϫ109cells per liter,respectively,or a platelet count below75ϫ109 cells per liter or50ϫ109cells per liter.If the renal function did not return to normal by the time of the next scheduled dose of cisplatin,the cisplatin was discontinued.Follow-UpPatients were seen3months posttherapy and then at minimum follow-up intervals of6months.Barium swallow;CT scan of the chest and abdomen;chest X-ray;complete blood count;serum biochemistry;his-tory;and physical examination including assessment of KPS,weight,and swallowing status were to be done at each visit.Endoscopy was required1–3months following completion of therapy.Posttreatment biop-sies were required only if suspicious areas were iden-tified at endoscopy.Patients with no evidence of tumor upon barium swallow,CT,and endoscopy were considered re-sponders to therapy.Those with histologically con-firmed tumor posttreatment were considered to have experienced failure of therapy.There was no defini-990CANCER March1,2000/Volume88/Number5tion of partial or complete response for this clinical trial.Data Collection and Statistical AnalysisThe study endpoints were1)patient tolerance of the proposed treatment in terms of life-threatening acute esophagitis and latefistula,2)the percentage of pa-tients receiving at least75%of the treatment,3)local control and patterns of failure,and4)survival.In RTOG8501,a study of50Gy external beam radiation and concurrent chemotherapy in which the entry criteria were similar to RTOG92-07,life-threat-ening esophageal toxicity occurred in5%of patients. The life-threatening toxicity of RTOG92-07was not expected to be above10%.The1-year local control rate was expected to be approximately56%,similar to the local control found in RTOG8501with chemora-diation.A sample of50patients for each dose rate(LDR and HDR)was planned.With this sample size,the lower bound of the95%1-sided confidence interval would be1)65%for an hypothesized feasibility of75% of patients receiving the designated protocol treat-ment;2)44%for an hypothesized local control at1 year of56%;and3)39%for an hypothesized1-year survival of51%.Hypothesized rates for feasibility,lo-cal control,and survival were derived from the RTOG 8501data base.The target accrual for each dose rate was55patients,allowing for an additional10%of the required sample to guard against ineligible cases or cases that could not be evaluated.Interim reports with statistical analyses,including toxicities,were prepared every6months.It was pre-determined that if the accrual for a particular dose rate was less than12patients per year,further patient accrual to that dose rate was to be terminated. RESULTSDemographic DataBetween June1992and February1995,56patients were entered on the HDR option and19patients onthe LDR option.Because accrual was much slower than expected for the LDR arm,new patient entries to the LDR arm were discontinued as of December1994. Fifty-six patients were entered to the HDR alternative, although7patients were later deemed ineligible for the following reasons:primary tumor extension to the gastroesophageal-esophageal junction(3patients), suspected tumor involvement of the celiac lymph nodes(2patients),primary tumor involving the cervi-cal esophagus(1patient),and KPSϽ60(1patient).

(2pa-tients),or unidentified reason (5patients).Of the ini-tial 49eligible patients,24(49%)finished the external beam radiation therapy,chemotherapy,and brachy-therapy as per protocol.Survival and Sites of FailureThe median follow-up for 13patients alive at the time of analysis was 29months.With a median follow-up of 10months for the 49eligible patients,36deaths have been reported.The 1-year survival rate was estimated to be 49%,with a 95%confidence interval of 34–63%.The estimated survival rates at 2and 3years were 31%and 29%,respectively.Figure 1is the survival curve with log-transformed 95%confidence intervals and censoring marks for the 49eligible patients.Information regarding tumor response and first site of failure was available in all 49eligible patients (Tables 4and 5).Persistent disease was found in 26%of patients;complete response was seen in 74%.Of the 74%with initial complete response,locoregional fail-ure occurred at the time of first relapse in 37%:29%with local failure alone,and 8%with combined local and distant failure.The final local persistence or re-currence rate was 63%:13patients (26%)with persis-tence,and 18patients (37%)with initial complete response followed by local recurrence.Therefore,local control was ultimately 37%.Tumor response and siteof first failure in the chemoradiation patients on RTOG 85-01is also presented in Tables 4and plete response and locoregional control rates appear com-parable between the two studies.Treatment ToxicitySevere toxicity (RTOG Grade 3)was documented in 29(59%)of the patients,mostly in the form of hemato-logic or gastrointestinal side effects.Life-threatening (RTOG Grade 4)or fatal toxicity was seen in 12(24%)and 5(10%)of patients,respectively.Toxicities are summarized in Table 6.Life-threatening esophageal strictures occurred in three patients.Esophageal fistulas,thought to be treatment-related rather than tumor-related,occurred in six patients,leading to death in three.All patients with fistula had endoscopy and attempted biopsy at the time of fistula or had autopsy at death.The fistulas were considered treatment-related only if biopsy or autopsy found no local tumor persistence or recur-rence.The fistula was aortoesophageal in one patient,in the esophageal-bronchotracheal tree in three pa-tients,and esophageal-mediastinal in two.A compar-ison of the pretreatment studies and brachytherapy simulation films with the postfistula studies suggested that the fistulas occurred in the region of the brachy-therapy.Fistulas occurred in patients with primary tumors in both the middle and lower esophagus (Ta-ble 7).However,of the six fistualas,only two were not in the region of the carina,and only one was intheFIGURE 1.A Kaplan–Meier survival curve for patients in

brachytherapy,or 12%(6of 49)for all study patients (Figure 2).The interval from first brachytherapy to diagnosis of esophageal fistula ranged from 0.5to 6.2months,with a median of 3.9months.Five of the 6patients developing fistulas re-ceived a brachytherapy dose of 15Gy.The other pa-tient received just 1fraction of 5Gy and developed a fistula within 0.5months.None of the 10patients treated after the reduction of brachytherapy dose from 15Gy to 10Gy have developed fistulas.No correlation was found between the develop-ment of fistula and the location of the primary tumor,brachytherapy active length,or applicator diameter (4mm vs.6mm).DISCUSSIONEB has long been advocated as a radiation therapy technique enabling irradiation of locoregional disease to a high dose with relative sparing of the surrounding normal tissues,potentially increasing tumor control while minimizing acute and chronic toxicity.6–9Com-pared with external beam radiation with dose escala-tion,other possible advantages include increased speed of relief of dysphagia,shortening of treatment time,and patient convenience.10Several retrospective studies 2,4,11–14and two pro-spective studies 15,16comparing external beam radia-tion therapy with or without a brachytherapy boost claim improved survival,local control,and swallowing ability,favoring patients treated with high-,interme-diate-,or low-dose rate brachytherapy.Concurrent chemotherapy was not an established therapy during the years that many of these studies were conducted.Chemoradiation is now considered standard therapy for patients with carcinoma of the thoracic esopha-gus.1Previous studies claiming that brachytherapy has benefits are now of questionable relevance if chemotherapy was not included in the treatment reg-imen.Prior to this report,there were few published re-sults of external beam radiation,brachytherapy boost,and concurrent chemotherapy for meaningful num-bers of patients.17,18Only one of the two published reports was in full manuscript form.18Several reports of brachytherapy boost following concurrent chemoradiation have appeared since the publication of the preliminary results of RTOG 9207.19–21Table

Concurrent Chemotherapy for Carcinoma of the Esophagus/Gaspar et al.993rect comparison among these clinical series is ham-pered by the differences in staging,response end-points,and duration of follow-up.For example,the 37%local control observed in RTOG9207is much lower than the73–80%reported in the other series. This difference in local control may be explained by the requirement for esophagoscopy1–3months fol-lowing completion of therapy in RTOG9207.Differ-ences in treatment regimens,i.e.,differences in the outer diameter of the EB applicator,or sequencing of brachytherapy,may also account for the observed dif-ferences in esophageal toxicity.For example,to deliver 10Gy to a10cm active length,the dose at the appli-cator surface for a0.6cm catheter and a1.0cm cath-eter would be36.6Gy and21.4Gy,respectively.RTOG9207documented treatment-related esopha-gealfistulas in12%of the patients;by comparison,none were reported in several other brachytherapy series.17–21 Compared with the experience of Montravadi18and Cal-ais,19RTOG9207called for1)more courses of chemo-therapy,2)chemotherapy concurrent with brachyther-apy,3)a smaller outer diameter of the EB applicator,and 4)a higher brachytherapy dose(initially15Gy in3frac-tions).The lack offistula formation in the10patients treated on RTOG9207following a reduction of HDR dose(10Gy in2fractions)suggests that the brachyther-apy dose was a contributing factor.Tables4and5,in which response rate and sites of first failure are tabulated for RTOG9207and RTOG 8501,suggest little benefit for brachytherapy boost over external beam radiation plus chemotherapy alone.A direct comparison of tumor response and local control between RTOG8501and RTOG9207is difficult because response was assessed without en-doscopy in RTOG8501.Despite the high risk offistula identified in the preliminary report of RTOG9207,there is a wide vari-ation in the reported indications,treatment regimens, and dosimetry for brachytherapy in the treatment of carcinoma of the esophagus.20–22Therefore,the American Brachytherapy Society(ABS)developed guidelines to encourage consistent,safe treatment policies for the use of brachytherapy in the definitive treatment of patients with this disease.23The ABS guidelines recommend a maximum HDR brachyther-apy dose of10Gy in2weekly fractions of5Gy each, utilizing an EB applicator with an external diameter of 6–10mm.The ABS recommended that brachytherapy not be given concurrently with chemotherapy.This recommendation was based on the reported lack of fistulas in patients treated with chemoradiation fol-lowed by a brachytherapy boost.18,19Compared with these other clinical series,RTOG9207also utilized more cycles of chemotherapy.TABLE8Clinical Results of External Beam Radiation,Brachytherapy Boost,and Concurrent ChemotherapyStaar et al.17Montravadi et al.18RTOG9207No.of patients324050Pathology NS

tumor response,local control,or patient survival rates,there are no plans to take this treatment regimen to the Phase III setting.Pending the results of other prospective studies,extreme cau-tion is urged in the use of external beam radiation, brachytherapy boost,and concurrent chemotherapy as utilized in this study.REFERENCES1.Al-Sarraf M,Martz K,Herskovic A,Leichman L,Brincle JS,Vaitkevicius

All rights reserved.1.IntroductionGefitinib and erlotinib are oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs).Gefitinib has been reported to be effective in limited populations such as never smokers,Asians,and patients with adenocarcinoma,and is particularly effective in patients with EGFR mutations [1–3].Erlotinib,which has a sim-ilar quinazoline frame to gefitinib,is the first EGFR-TKI shown to provide survival benefit in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)[4]:the BR.21trial revealed significantly longer sur-vival times among patients who received erlotinib compared with a placebo group [4].In addition,these two EGFR-TKIs have been found to occasionally induce a particularly significant response in EGFR-mutant patients.However,despite this documented efficacy,most cancer clones acquire resistance to these particular com-pounds over time [5].Previous studies have demonstrated that amplified MET onco-gene and secondary EGFR T790M mutations are most commonly responsible for resistance to gefitinib and erlotinib [6,7].Indeed,several previous studies showed that secondary EGFR T790M muta-tion and MET amplification occurred in nearly half and 20%of lung∗Corresponding author.Tel.:+81722523021;fax:+81722511372.E-mail address:kazu.taizo@ (K.Asami).cancer specimens that had become resistant to EGFR-TKIs,respec-tively [8–11].In addition,the majority of patients who showed secondary resistance had EGFR mutations such as exon 19dele-tion mutations or L858R point mutation,which have been found to be sensitive to EGFR-TKIs [12,13].Several reports have demonstrated clinical benefits when administering erlotinib to NSCLC patients following failure of gefi-tinib [14–18];in contrast,one previous report has suggested that no erlotinib-derived clinical benefit can be expected in patients who failed gefitinib [19].However,reports thus far have all had small sample sizes,and clear findings regarding efficacy of erlotinib in patients who failed gefitinib have yet to be obtained.Consequently,whether or not erlotinib is useful in these patients remains contro-versial.We hypothesize that tumor clones may require exposure to gefi-tinib treatment with a positive response for a specific duration to acquire secondary common resistance to EGFR-TKIs.Even if a patient experiences tumor progression on gefitinib therapy,sub-sequent erlotinib therapy may nevertheless still be able to inhibit progression,provided the tumor clones did not acquire secondary resistance.As such,in positive-responder patients with confirmed progression within a specific duration of gefitinib treatment,some tumor clones may remain sensitive to erlotinib,and therefore these patients may still experience survival benefit with erlotinib treat-ment.0169-5002/$–see front matter © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.doi:10.1016/j.lungcan.2010.12.014212K.Asami et al./Lung Cancer73 (2011) 211–216Here,we conducted a retrospective study primarily aimed at assessing overall survival(OS)of patients who received erlotinib therapy after failure with gefitinib.We also attempted to charac-terize the clinical features of patients who benefited from erlotinib treatment.2.Patients and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed records for patients with histopathologically diagnosed lung adenocarcinoma who received erlotinib after experiencing progression on gefitinib at Kinki-chuo Chest Medical Center between December2008and October2009. Responses were evaluated based on patient records and radio-graphic studies,such as chest roentgenograms and computed tomographic(CT)and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scans. We examined EGFR mutation status using the PCR-invader method with paraffin sections of biopsy specimens from patients.Time to progression(TTP)with gefitinib was defined as the period from initiation of gefitinib therapy to the date when dis-ease progression was confirmed.Overall survival was defined as the period from initiation of erlotinib therapy to the date of death or last follow-up.Disease control rate(DCR)was defined as com-plete response(CR)plus partial response(PR)plus stable disease (SD).Evaluation of response to gefitinib and erlotinib therapy by CT scan was performed according to the response evaluation crite-ria in solid tumors(RECIST).Stable disease plus progressive disease (PD)with prior gefitinib treatment was defined as“non-PR.”Categorical outcomes,including DCRs,were compared using the 2test,and survival distribution was estimating using the Kaplan–Meier method.Overall survival and progression-free sur-vival(PFS)were compared with regard to demographic factors such as gender,performance status,EGFR mutation status,response to gefitinib,TTP with gefitinib,and toxicity grade of skin rash,which may be associated with survival,using the log-rank test.Values were considered statistically significant for p<0.05.A multivariate Cox-proportional-hazards model was used to determine the clini-cal variables which influenced OS.Statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS software ver.11.0for Windows(IBM,Chicago,IL, USA).3.Results3.1.Patient characteristicsForty-two patients with lung adenocarcinoma were reviewed in the present study.All patients became refractory to gefitinib dur-ing the course of treatment and were subsequently switched to erlotinib therapy.Patient characteristics are described in detail in Table1.Thirty patients(71%)had received1or2regimens before Table1Patient characteristics.Number(%)Median age,years(range)65(31–85) SexMale13(31)Female29(69)Smoking historyNever28(67)Former/current14(33)ECOG score0–124(57)2–418(43)Cancer stageIIIB8(19)IV34(81) Number of previous treatments with erlotinib1–230a(71)3≤12(29) EGFR mutationExon19deletion mutation14(33)L858R14(33)Exon18point mutation1(2)Wild13(32)TTP with gefitinib treatment,months(range)8.1(0.9–40.7) <1229(69)≤1213(31)Response to gefitinibCR0(0)PR22(53)SD17(40)PD3(7)EGFR,epidermal growth factor receptor;TTP,time to progression;CR,complete response;PR,partial response;SD,stable disease;PD,progressive disease;ECOG, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group.a Two patients received gefitinib asfirst-line treatment.initiation of erlotinib and2(7%)had received gefitinib asfirst-line treatment.EGFR mutations were detected in29(69%)patients:14(33%) had exon19deletions,14(33%)had L858R mutations,and1(2%) had an exon18point mutation.The median TTP with gefitinib treatment was8.1months.Thirteen(31%)patients had TTPs of12 months or more,while29(69%)had TTPs of less than12months.

Among patients who achieved PR with gefitinib,one achieved PR and15patients achieved SD with erlotinib therapy.Patients who achieved PR with gefitinib showed higher DCRs with erlotinib than patients who had non-PR with gefitinib(16[73%]of22vs.9[45%] of20),albeit without statistical significance(p=0.07).In addi-tion,EGFR mutation status was not found to be associated with response to erlotinib;in terms of DCR,no significant difference was noted between EGFR-mutant patients(18/29)and EGFR non-mutant patients group(7/13)(62%vs.54%,p=0.616).Time to progression with prior administration of gefitinib was not found to be associated with achieving a response with subse-quent erlotinib.Details regarding response to erlotinib categorized by TTP with gefitinib are shown in Table3.DCR among patients experiencing progression after less than12months of gefitinib therapy was18/29(62%).In contrast,DCR among patients with TTPs of12months or more was7/13(54%).No statistical significant difference in DCR was noted between these two groups accord-ing to TTP with prior administration of gefitinib(p=0.62).Of the 24patients who achieved SD with erlotinib therapy,10showed improvement in target lesions which had been exacerbated during gefitinib treatment;all10were EGFR-mutant patients(4L858R, 5exon19deletion mutations,and1exon18point mutation),and TTPs with gefitinib were all less than12months.Of the two patients who received gefitinib asfirst-line treatment,one had an EGFR L858R mutation and showed responses to gefitinib and subsequent erlotinib of PR and SD,respectively.While this particular patient showed a relatively long TTP(39.5months)with gefitinib,disease progression was confirmed4months after initiation of erlotinib therapy,and OS was58.6months.The other patient who received gefitinib asfirst-line treatment had EGFR-wild type,and responses to both gefitinib and subsequent erlotinib treatment were PD.TTP and OS in this patient were3and7.4months,respectively.A second biopsy of the progressed lesions was performed in three patients after gefitinib therapy failed.While exon19deletion mutations of the same pattern as noted in thefirst biopsy specimen for primary diagnosis were also detected on this second biopsy, we noted no EGFR T790M mutations.Of note,however,was the fact that imagingfindings for lesions after erlotinib therapy were improved on the second biopsy(Table3).3.3.SurvivalMedian OS and median progression-free survival(PFS)were 7.1months(95%confidence interval[CI]:4.4–9.8months)and3.4 months(95%CI:1.1–5.7months),respectively(Fig.1).Multivariate analysis of prognostic factors was performed using a Cox propor-tional hazards model to determine which clinical variables were most strongly associated with OS(Table4).Response to gefitinibTable4Multivariate analysis of prognostic variables for OS by use of a Cox proportional-hazards model.Multivariate analysisp a Hazard ratio95%CISex0.51 1.350.55–3.31 ECOG score0.190.580.25–1.31 EGFR mutation0.78 1.130.48–2.70 Response to gefitinib0.0050.230.80–0.64 TTP of gefitinib0.050.340.12–1.01 Grade of skin rash0.290.640.27–1.47EGFR,epidermal growth factor receptor;TTP,time to progression;CI,confidence interval;ECOG,Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group;PR,partial response.Response to gefitinib was the only independent prognostic factor.TTP with gefitinib showed borderline significance.Variables were compared as paired categories:sex(female vs.male),ECOG score(0–1vs.2–4),response to gefitinib(PR vs.non-PR),TTP of gefitinib(<12months vs.≥12months),grade of skin rash(3vs.1–2).a p<0.05was considered significant.214K.Asami et al./Lung Cancer73 (2011) 211–216Fig.1.Kaplan–Meier plot of survival time with erlotinib.(A)Overall survival rates and(B)progression-free survival rates of42patients.MST:median survival time; mPFS:median progression-free survival.was found to be the only independent prognostic factor(hazard ratio=0.23;95%CI:0.08–0.64,p=0.005),and time to progression with gefitinib showed borderline significance(hazard ratio=0.34; 95%CI:0.12–1.01,p=0.05).Kaplan–Meier curves of survival time according to response to prior gefitinib therapy are shown in Fig.2.Patients who achieved PR while receiving gefitinib therapy showed significantly longer OS(p=0.014).However,no significant difference was noted in PFS between patients with PR for gefitinib and those with non-PR(4.7 months[95%CI:2.9–6.5months]vs.1.8months[95%CI:1.4–2.2 months];p=0.122).Time to progression with gefitinib showed a borderline significant impact on survival with erlotinib therapy. However,among patients who achieved PR with gefitinib,TTP with gefitinib therapy was strongly correlated with survival time. Kaplan–Meier curves of survival time for patients who achieved PR with gefitinib stratified according to TTP are shown in Fig.3. Patients with TTPs of less than12months with gefitinib ther-apy were found to have significantly longer OS(10.3months[95% CI:7.0–13.6months]vs.6.4months[95%CI:2.6–10.2months]; p=0.04)and longer PFS(6.4months[95%CI:3.6–9.2months]vs.3.4 months[95%CI:1.2–5.6months];p=0.19)than patients with TTPs of12months or more.However,no statistically significant differ-ence was noted between the two groups in terms of PFS(p=0.19).Fig.2.Kaplan–Meier plot of survival time with erlotinib.(A)Overall survival rates and(B)progression-free survival rates stratified by response to prior gefitinib.Non-PR is defined as SD plus PD with gefitinib therapy.In addition,we found that skin rash was not predictive of sur-vival with erlotinib therapy.All patients in the present study were affected by rash of some grade while receiving erlotinib.The degree of skin rash toxicity due to erlotinib exceeded the grade noted dur-ing gefitinib treatment in32patients.Seven patients required dose reduction of erlotinib due to grade3skin ing a Cox propor-tional hazard model,we determined that skin rash grade had no impact on survival(hazard ratio=0.64[95%CI:0.27–1.47];p=0.29).4.DiscussionHere,we investigated survival potential in patients receiv-ing erlotinib after failure of gefitinib,focusing on response and TTP with gefitinib.Ourfindings suggest that administration of erlotinib subsequent to gefitinib may exert survival benefit in for-mer gefitinib-positive responders.Further,among those former responders,most with TTP<12months may not yet have sec-ondary resistance to EGFR-TKIs.Ourfindings suggest little chance for patients to achieve a high response with erlotinib therapy after experiencing progression with gefitinib therapy.This observation may be due to these two EGFR TKIs sharing the same mechanism of EGFR blockade or to cross resistance[5].Our retrospective study showed that response achieved with prior administration of gefitinib was the only prognostic factor for subsequent erlotinib therapy after experiencing progression on gefitinib therapy.In particular,among patients who achieved PR with gefitinib,patients with TTPs of less than12months with gefitinib therapy were found to have significantly longer OS thanK.Asami et al./Lung Cancer73 (2011) 211–216215Fig.3.Kaplan–Meier plot of survival time for patients who achieve PR with gefitinib.(A)Overall survival rates and(B)progression-free survival rates stratified by TTP with gefitinib.patients with TTPs of12months or more.In addition,most of these patients showed some degree of improvement in imagefind-ings after subsequent erlotinib therapy.We noted no EGFR T790M mutations in any of three patients who underwent a second biopsy of their progressed lesions after failure with gefitinib therapy.We therefore supposed that most patients with TTP<12months may have not yet acquired the EGFR T790M mutation.However,we only investigated the presence of a secondary EGFR T790M mutation in three patients in the present study.Validation of this hypothesis will require collection of more molecular information from patients who are no longer responsive to gefitinib in the future.Shepherd et al.demonstrated that TTP was2.6months in NSCLC patients who had previously been treated with docetaxel therapy [20].We observed that PFS was3.4months in patients with TTP≥12 months who achieved PR in our study,a duration which appears improved over that demonstrated by Shepherd et al.Given these findings,we posited that,regardless of duration of gefitinib ther-apy,subsequent erlotinib may be able to prolong PFS compared to chemotherapy with cytotoxic agent provided the patients demon-strated a positive response with gefitinib.However,given that our results were obtained in a retrospective study with an extremely small sample population,a prospective study is warranted to clar-ify whether or not erlotinib administered subsequent to gefitinib can elicit greater survival benefit in gefitinib-positive responders than chemotherapy with cytotoxic agents.We noted here that treatment with erlotinib following gefitinib resulted in more toxic grades of skin rash in patients,findings which suggest that erlotinib may have greater biological activity than gefitinib.Several other investigators have also suggested based on their ownfindings that erlotinib may have higher biological activity than gefitinib.Costa et al.showed that differing efficacy between gefitinib and erlotinib was due to differences in commonly admin-istered dosages between the two drugs[21].Gefitinib(250mg per day)is typically administered at one third of its maximum-tolerated dose,whereas erlotinib(150mg per day)is administered at its maximum tolerated dose.In vitro data showed that the mean concentration of gefitinib was0.24g/ml at the300-mg daily dose and1.1g/ml at1000mg/day.In contrast,median concentration of erlotinib at150mg/day was1.26g/ml.These previousfindings suggest that erlotinib(150mg/day)has a higher biological dose of EGFR inhibition than gefitinib(250mg/day).Recent studies have demonstrated that the increased biological activity of EGFR-TKIs is associated with control of tumor clones. Yoshimasu et al.reported observing a dose-response relationship between inhibition rates and gefitinib concentration[22].Clarke et al.reported that high-dose erlotinib was effective in controlling leptomeningeal metastases progression while receiving standard erlotinib therapy in EGFR-mutant patients[23].These authors demonstrated that a weekly1200-mg dose of erlotinib controlled leptomeningeal metastases in a patient who was no longer respon-sive to a standard daily dose of erlotinib(150mg).Ourfindings here suggest that a treatment duration of12 months of gefitinib therapy may be the borderline period for tumor clones to attain resistance to EGFR-TKIs.However,speculation as to whether or not previously EGFR-TKI-sensitive clones gradually grow resistant to EGFR-TKIs has not been resolved.Further studies are necessary to validate ourfindings.In conclusion,gefitinib responders may achieve survival ben-efits from erlotinib therapy after experiencing progression with gefitinib.Among patients who have been receiving gefitinib ther-apy for less than12months,tumor clones may not yet have acquired a secondary mutation.However,further studies are needed to clarify precisely how tumor clones attain such secondary resistance to EGFR-TKIs.Conflicts of interest statementNone declared.AcknowledgementsWe are grateful to the staff of Kinki-Chuo Chest Medical Cen-ter for their helpful comments.We are especially indebted to Dr. Masahiko Ando of Kyoto University for support on statistical anal-yses.References[1]Moscatello DK,Holgado-Madruga M,et al.Frequent expression of a mutantepidermal growth factor receptor in multiple human tumors.Cancer Res 1995;55(23):5536–9.[2]Janne PA,Engelman JA,et al.Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations innon-small-cell lung cancer:implications for treatment and tumor biology.J Clin Oncol2005;23(14):3227–34.[3]Baselga J,Arteaga CL.Critical update and emerging trends in epidermal growthfactor receptor targeting in cancer.J Clin Oncol2005;23(11):2445–59.[4]Pao W,Miller V,Zakowski M,et al.EGF receptor gene mutations are commonin lung cancers from“never smokers”and are associated with sensitivity of tumors to gefitinib and erlotinib.Proc Natl Acad Sci2004;101:13306–11.

药理学研究中的动物模型优化

药理学研究中的动物模型优化药理学研究中的动物模型是衡量药物疗效和安全性的一种重要工具。
然而,传统的动物模型存在一些缺陷,包括代谢差异、物种间变异和伦理限制等问题。
因此,如何优化动物模型,提高其预测药物效果的准确性和可靠性,成为了药理学研究的一个重要课题。
一、借鉴人类疾病特征设计动物模型传统的动物模型往往采用小鼠或大鼠,但其代谢和疾病模式与人类存在差异。
因此,优化动物模型的首要任务是借鉴人类疾病特征,设计与之相符合的动物模型。
例如,在研究癌症新药时,可以使用转基因小鼠模型,将人类癌细胞移植到小鼠体内,以更真实地模拟人类肿瘤环境。
二、利用基因编辑技术构建精准遗传动物模型近年来,基因编辑技术的迅猛发展为动物模型的优化提供了新的途径。
通过利用CRISPR/Cas9等基因编辑技术,可以精确改变动物基因组,构建与人类疾病具有高度相似性的动物模型。
例如,可以通过编辑小鼠基因,使其表达人类特定基因突变,以模拟人类遗传疾病。
三、采用体外细胞模型辅助动物模型研究除了传统的动物模型,体外细胞模型在药理学研究中发挥着越来越重要的作用。
通过使用基因编辑技术构建人类来源的细胞系,可以模拟人类疾病的特征,进行高通量筛选和药物效果评估。
优化动物模型时,可以借助体外细胞模型的结果指导动物实验的设计,提高动物模型的选择性和预测能力。
四、结合计算机模拟优化动物模型计算机模拟在药理学研究中也扮演着重要角色。
通过建立数学模型,模拟药物在动物体内的药代动力学和药效学过程,可以更好地理解药物在体内的作用机制。
此外,计算机模拟还可以帮助设计动物实验的方案,减少动物数量,节约研究成本并提高实验效率。
五、权衡优化动物模型的可行性和代表性在优化动物模型时,需要权衡其可行性和代表性。
确保动物模型的可行性,即能够满足实验目的,操作方便且可重复,保证实验结果的准确性。
同时,要保证动物模型的代表性,即模型能够准确反映人类疾病的特征,提高药物研究的可靠性。
综上所述,优化动物模型在药理学研究中具有重要的意义。

使用路由器过滤数据包可以 有效地阻止罪犯进入内部网 络,但罪犯有可能绕过过滤 器。整个内部网络容易受到 来自Internet的入侵。
可以使内部网络与外部网络完全隔 离。可以监视外部主机的连接企图, 并使用启发式分析,确定是否有罪 犯要闯入网络。防火墙系统中还存 有可疑活动的详细报告,管理人员 可以利用该报告调查有潜在危险的 Internet主机,并采取预防措施。

8.1 计算机网络安全
计算机网络安全是指通过采取各种技术的和管理的 措施,确保网络数据的可用性、完整性和保密性,其目 的是确保经过网络传输和交换的数据不会发生增加、修 改、丢失和泄漏等 。
8.1.1 网络系统安全概述
计算机安全基础
1. 什么是计算机安全 国际标准化组织ISO对计算机安全作了如下定义:计算机 安全是指为保护数据处理系统而采取的技术的和管理的安 全措施,保护计算机硬件、软件和数据不会因偶然或故意 的原因而遭到破坏、更改和泄密。
8.2.3 远程监控(RMON) RMON分为嵌入式和分布式两种:
嵌入式RMON 当RMON嵌入到网络设备(如集线器)之中时,它的作用效率
更高、经济上更划算,可以一次监控所有连通的局域网网段。

PKI(Public Key Infrastructure,意为“公钥基础设 PKI技术就是利用公钥理论和技术施建”立)的提供信息安全服务的基础设施, 是CA认证、数字证书、数字签名以及相关安全应用组件模块的集合。
CA(Certificate Authority)认证技术
在电子商务中,必须从技术上保证在交易过程中能够实现:身份认证、 安全传输、不可否认性、数据一致性。CA证书认证技术采用了加密 传输和数字签名技术,能够实现上述要求。

功能多,应用灵活。能够提供许多 报告、统计和监控的手段,以控制 网络的运行;提供有益的内部网络 功能,如存储频繁访问页,设置拒 绝与缺乏商业价值的站点建立连接
编址 方式
要求所有的内部主机都要有
正确分配的地址。这些地址 在Internet上都是可见的,可 以被Internet上的系统访问
允许内部网络使用任何寻址模式, 因为能够与Internet实现真正通信的 唯一系统就是应用层防火墙。这就 使管理员可以不受任何约束地对其 内部网络进行灵活的编址
