2.Advances of immune checkpoint blockades in the treatment of digestive cancers
Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(1):63-66
Immune checkpoint blockade is a hot spot in treatment of cancers recently,and their effi-cacy in digestive cancer cannot been ignored.Nivolumab is superior to sorafenib in the terms of prolonging survival period for the patients with advanced live cancer.The effective rate of Pembrolizumab for advanced PD-L1 positive expression esophageal cancer can reach 30%.Nevertheless,Ipilumumab shows no significant efficacy in advanced pancreatic carcinoma.More researches are on the way,such as Avelumab in advanced gastric cancer,and Pembrolizumab in advanced esophageal squamous carcinoma.
3.Efficacy evaluation criteria for immunotherapy in solid tumors
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(11):848-851
Immunotherapy has become an important therapy for solid tumors,which is in addition to surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and targeted therapy.However immune treatment mechanism is different from those previous treatment.The effect of immunotherapies is on the immune system and not directly on the tumor.The kinetics of immunotherapy is characterized by a cellular immune response followed by potential changes in tumor burden and survival period.They are not captured by the traditional World Health Organiza-tion (WHO)or the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).New immune-related response criteria are defined which more comprehensively capture all response patters and gradually applied in clinical practice.

International Eye Science 2014;(9):1615-1617
To evaluate the clinical efficacy of corneal lamellar debridement combined with sutureless amniotic membrane transplantation for the treatment of superficial fungal keratitis.
●METHODS:Totally 22 cases (22 eyes) with superficial fungal keratitis were referred to our hospital from April 2012 to October 2013. The patients with persistent cornea ulcer after treatment of local and systemic antifungal drugs underwent corneal lamellar debridement combined with sutureless amniotic membrane transplantation, and the recipient bed was covered with an amniotic membrane using fibrin sealant during the operation. All patients were still given topical antifungal therapy for 1 -2mo after operation. The followed- up time was 3mo or above. We observed the corneal healing and amniotic membrane adhesion by split lamp microscope, and investigated the transformation of amniotic membrane and fungal infection recurrence with confocal microscope.
●RESULTS: Corneal edema and anterior chamber reaction of 21 patients disappeared gradually, and no amniotic membrane graft dissolved and shed off within 1-2wk postoperatively. Two weeks after operation, the graft integrated into the corneal and the corneal wounds' thickness increased gradually, the corneal epithelium reconstructed and corneas became clear. Four weeks after operation, the corneal scarring developed gradually and fluorescence staining was negative. Nineteen cases' amniotic membranes that adhered with the cornea dissolved 4wk after operation. There were different degrees of corneal nebula or macula remained 3mo postoperatively. All patients' vision improved in varying degrees, except in 1 case with fungal keratitis who had been cured by lamellar keratoplasty.
●CONCLUSlON:Corneal lamellar debridement combined with sutureless amniotic membrane transplantation can effectively remove the foci of inflammation, improve the local efficacy, shorten the operation time, relieve the postoperative reaction, and promote cornea union, which is an effective way to treat superficial fungal keratitis.

Objective To investigate the effects of nuciferine on hyperlipidemia in mice and to clarify the molecular mechanism. Methods Mice were divided into three groups according to the diet: normal control group ( n=10 ) , model control group (n=10), and the intervention group (n=10). The normal control group was treated with common diet (ANI-76A feed:12. 4% fat, 68. 8% carbohydrate, 18. 8% protein). The model control group was induced with high fat diet (37. 1% fat, 42. 4% carbohydrate, 20. 5% protein). The intervention group was supplemented with 0. 5% nuciferine based on high fat diet. The mice were allowed free access to food and water for a total of 10 weeks. Several indices were analyzed in the 3 groups, including the body weight, serum lipid, lipid metabolism key enzyme, oxidative stress and metabolic pathway. Results Our results suggested that the high-fat diet-induced animal models developed obesity and dyslipidemia (P<0. 05). The body weight [(33.97±3.46) g vs. (27. 62±2. 87) g] and the serum lipid[(2. 73±0. 26) g vs. (1. 91±0. 21) g] were significantly decreased in the intervention group compared to the model control group (P<0. 05), except for the hypertriglyceridemia (P>0.05).Theactivityofhepaticlipidmetabolismkeyenzymes[(4.15±1.26) U·mL-1vs.(9.01±1.34) U·mL-1] andthe activity of hepatic lipase and lipoprotein lipase[(8.12±3.07) U·mL-1 vs.(13.48±3.75) U·mL-1] were elevated.Oxidative stress was also affected by nuciferine (P<0. 05). Mechanism study suggested that lipid synthesis genes (like SREBP-1c, FAS, SCD-1 and PPAR gamma mRNA) were up-regulated by high fat diet (P<0. 05), and the lipid oxidation metabolism genes, PPARαand CPT-1a mRNA, were down-regulated (P<0. 05), while the intervention group treatment reversed these changes (P<0. 05). Conclusion Nuciferine can improve hyperlipidemia, which might be related to the regulation of enzyme activity, oxidative stress and the changes of lipid synthesis and oxidative metabolism.

BACKGROUND:Different embolic materials can be used for bronchial artery embolization in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis. Sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge are two commonly used materials; however, there are relatively few related reports about the comparative analysis on the application effect of these two materials. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of sodium alginate microspheres for bronchial artery embolization on pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis. METHODS:Totaly 157 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis, including 98 male and 59 female patients, aged 22-75 years, were enroled and subjected to bronchial artery embolization using different embolic materials: sodium alginate microspheres group (n=74) and gelatin sponge group (n=83). During the 12 months of folow-up, the clinical curative effect, recurrence and complications condition of these two groups were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total effective rates of sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge groups were respectively 91.19% and 81.93%, and there was a significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). The recurrence rates of sodium alginate microspheres and gelatin sponge groups were respectively 6.8% and 26.5%, and there was a significant difference between groups (P < 0.05). Additionaly, there was no significant difference in the complications between groups (P > 0.05). These results demonstrate that sodium alginate microspheres for bronchial artery embolization has a better result in the clinical treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis hemoptysis with a high clinicaly effective rate and low recurrence rate.

Objective To explore the effects of different infants-feeding patterns on preschoolers' physical development, intelligence development and bone mineral density (BMD). Methods A total of 953 preschoolers from seven cities and two rural areas in China were recruited by multiple stage stratified cluster sampling methods from November 2011 to April 2012. Physiology measurement was performed to get their height and weight and to calculate body mass index(BMI). BMD of distal radius was measured by ultrasound BMD scanner. The intelligence quotient was assessed by Standford-Binet Test of Intelligence(Chinese Version). The demographic factors and the feeding ways were investigated by an interviewer-administered questionnaire and all subjects were divided into three groups : exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and artificial feeding group. ANOVA analysis, Chi-square test and non-parametric test were used to analyze the data. Results There were 476, 335 and 142 children in exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and artificial feeding groups, respectively. The exclusive breastfeeding rate in urban areas was significantly lower than that in rural areas [47.2%(343/726) vs 58.6%(133/227), χ2=9.780, P=0.008]. The height-for-age Z score and weight-for-age Z score were significantly different among children with different feeding ways (χ2=10.728 and 12.175, P=0.005 and 0.002). The children in the exclusive breast feeding group showed lower height-for-age Z score and lower weight-for-age Z score comparing with those in the mixed feeding and artificial feeding groups (all P<0.05). The value of speed of sound of BMD was significantly different among exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding and artificial feeding groups [(3 640.2±142.0) vs (3 613.9±141.9) and (3 613.4±143.0) m/s, F=3.946, P=0.020], and that in the exclusive breastfeeding group was higher than in the mixed feeding group (P<0.05). No significant difference was found in BMI-for-age Z score, intelligence score and food allergy rate and food intolerance rate among the three groups(all P>0.05). Conclusions Feeding patterns during the first several months after birth may affect the weight, height and BMD in preschool-children, but not the intelligence development of these children.
