RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of paclitaxel with low-dose cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil continuous infusion in the treatment of advanced gastric carcinoma. METHODS: The patients were treated with paclitaxel liposome 60 mg/m(2) i.v. gtt on d1, 8, 15, DDP 15 mg×m(-2)×d(-1) by i.v. gtt on d1-5, 5-Fu 500 mg×m(-2)×d(-1) by civ for 120 h, administered every 21 days. RESULTS: Out of the whole group, 3 cases achieved CR, 29 cases achieved PR with an ORR of 54.2% and median TTP of 7.1 months. Out of 40 cases in the primary treatment, 3 cases achieved CR, 22 cases achieved PR with an ORR of 62.5% and median TTP of 7.6 months. Out of 20 evaluable retreated cases, no case achieved CR, 7 cases achieved PR with an ORR of 36.8% and median TTP 6.3 months. The main toxicities were hematological toxicities, nausea and vomiting of grade I-II. CONCLUSION: The combination regimen of paclitaxel, low-dose cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil is effective and well tolerated for patients with advanced gastric carcinoma, especially for primary treatment cases. It is worthy of further study.

OBJECTIVE: To construct the HPV16 L1 prokaryotic expression plasmid and to optimize its expression. METHODS: A pair of primers was designed according to plasmid sequences of pGEX-KG and the HPV16L1 genes published by GeneBank. The DNA fragment of 1500 bp was amplified by PCR from the HPV recombinant plasmid with HPV16L1 gene, then cloned into pGEX-KG and transformed into the host E.coli strain JM109. The pGEX-KG-HPV16L1 plasmid was taken and transformed into BL21(DE3) for expression. Induced by IPTG at 37 degree, the expression product of HPV16L1 gene was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. RESULTS: HPV16L1 fusion protein was expressed successfully in the form of inclusion bodies. The molecular weight was 83 kD. Meanwhile, the optimum condition of HPV16L1 fusion protein expression was induced with 1.0 mmol*L(-1) IPTG for 4 h. The fusion protein reacted specifically with antibodies against HPV16L1. CONCLUSION: The prokaryotic expression vector of HPV16L1 gene has been constructed and expressed in E.coli successfully.
