In in vivo study, nude mice bearing NCI-H1299 xenograft were administrated with PEITC (50 mg/kg, ip) and Gefitinib (50 mg/kg, ig) for 15 days, the PEITC-Gefitinib combination treatment resulted in a significant synergistic reduction in tumor growth, and significantly induced both ER stress and Mcl-1 degradation in tumor tissues. In conclusion, we explored the prospect of PEITC in improving the efficacy of targeted drug therapy and demonstrated the synergistic effects and underlined mechanisms of PEITC combined with Gefitinib in NSCLC cells treatment. This study provided useful information for developing novel therapy strategies by combination treatment of PEITC with targeted drugs. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.OBJECTIVES We assessed the incidence, risk factors and adverse birth outcomes associated with elevated liver enzymes and low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. DESIGN A retrospective population-based cohort study. SETTING Canada (excluding Quebec), 2012/13-2015/16. POPULATION Mothers with a singleton hospital live birth or stillbirth at ≥24 weeks gestation (N=1,078,323). METHODS HELLP syndrome was identified using ICD-10-CA diagnostic code from delivery hospitalization data. We used logistic regression to identify independent risk factors for HELLP syndrome by obtaining adjusted odds ratios (AOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and to assess the associations with adverse outcomes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Adverse maternal (e.g., eclampsia) and fetal/neonatal outcomes (e.g., intraventricular hemorrhage, perinatal death). RESULTS The incidence of HELLP syndrome was 2.5 per 1,000 singleton deliveries (n=2,663). Risk factors included age ≥35 years, rural residence, nulliparity, parity ≥4, pre-pregnancy and gestational hypertension and diabetes
