RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Prostate cancer is a common urology malignant in males, ranking second globally. The disease is especially severe when diagnosed alongside hypertension. MKI67 is an established marker of neoplastic cell proliferation in humans, but the significance of its prognostic value in patients with prostate cancer and hypertension requires further research. METHODS: In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated 296 hypertensive prostate cancer patients between March 2, 2012, and November 1, 2015. We used Cox regression models and prediction analysis to assess overall survival. Furthermore, we created a nomogram and verified its accuracy using a calibration curve. RESULTS: Of all participants, 101 (34.12%) died. Our multi-factor analysis revealed that MKI67 expression was associated with an increased hazard ratio of death (> fivefold) (Hazard Ratio 5.829, 95% CI 3.349-10.138, p value < 0.01) and progression (twofold) (HR 2.059, 95% CI 1.368-3.102, p value < 0.01). Our Lasso analysis model displayed that several factors, including heart failure, smoking, ACS, serum albumin, Gealson score, prognostic nutritional index, MKI67 expression, surgery, and stage were high risks of prostate cancer. To ensure each covariate's contribution to cancer prognosis, we created a Cox model nomogram, which accurately predicted the risk of death (C-statistic of 0.8289) and had a proper calibration plot for risk assessment. CONCLUSION: MKI67 expression predicts poor outcomes for overall mortality in prostate cancer and hypertension patients. Additionally, our cross-validated multivariate score, which includes MKI67, demonstrated accuracy efficacy of predicting prognosis.
RESUMO
The endophytic fungus strain 0248, isolated from garlic, was identified as Trichoderma brevicompactum based on morphological characteristics and the nucleotide sequences of ITS1-5.8S- ITS2 and tef1. The bioactive compound T2 was isolated from the culture extracts of this fungus by bioactivity-guided fractionation and identified as 4ß-acetoxy-12,13- epoxy-Δ(9)-trichothecene (trichodermin) by spectral analysis and mass spectrometry. Trichodermin has a marked inhibitory activity on Rhizoctonia solani, with an EC50 of 0.25 µg mL(-1). Strong inhibition by trichodermin was also found for Botrytis cinerea, with an EC50 of 2.02 µg mL(-1). However, a relatively poor inhibitory effect was observed for trichodermin against Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (EC50 = 25.60 µg mL(-1)). Compared with the positive control Carbendazim, trichodermin showed a strong antifungal activity on the above phytopathogens. There is little known about endophytes from garlic. This paper studied in detail the identification of endophytic T. brevicompactum from garlic and the characterization of its active metabolite trichodermin.
