1.Expression and function of c-Myc in tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(4):278-280
The proto oncogene c-Myc is expressed in many kinds of organs, and its dysfunction is closely related to the occurrence and prognosis of lymphoma, prostatic cancer, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.With a large number of studies focus on the expression and function of c-Myc in tumor, the treatment of tumor by targeting c-Myc has made a wealth of progress.

Objective To investigate the pressure changes of cuff in the tapered-cuff endotracheal tubes and the frequency of cuff pressure monitoring in patient with trachea intubation. Methods From December 2016 to October 2017, 80 patients with oral tracheal intubation in the emergency department were divided into group A (n =25) and group B (n =23) according to the principle of randomized control. Group A with odd number was treated and tapered-cuff endotracheal tubes and group B with ever number and cylindrical-cuff endotracheal tubes. Continuous cuff pressure monitoring device was used to continuously monitor the cuff pressure. The two groups were compared in terms of time for keeping the normal cuff pressure and cuff pressure (average pressure, maximum pressure and minimum pressure). Results The total time for keeping the normal cuff pressure in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B (P<0.05). The average cuff pressure in group A was smaller than that of group B (P<0.05). The maximum pressure in group A is larger than that in group B and the maximum cuff pressure in group A was smaller than that of group B (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the cylindrical cuff catheter, the tapered-cuff tube can maintain the normal pressure for a shorter period and easily produce needed pressure. It is a need to enhance the monitoring of cuff pressure to ensure good airway closure and reduce artificial airway complications.

Objective:To explore the suitability of mechanical insufflation-exsufflation combined with external diaphragm pacemaker in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation and its effect on the complications and prognosis of mechanical ventilation.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 40 elderly patients undergoing mechanical ventilation through nasal tracheal intubation who were admitted to the Geriatric Ward of the PLA General Hospital from September 2018 to December 2019 were selected as the research objects. The patients were divided into the observation group and the control group by random number table method, with 20 cases in each group. The control group continued the traditional airway nursing technique and limb rehabilitation training, while the observation group added mechanical insufflation-exsufflation combined with external diaphragm pacemaker on the basis of the control group. The incidence of pulmonary infection, changes in sputum production at 1 h and 24 h, diaphragm thickening rate, weaning time, success rate of weaning and mortality rate were observed in the two groups before and after intervention.Results:After the intervention, the incidence of pulmonary infection in the observation group was lower than that of the control group, the sputum production and diaphragm thickening rate at 1 h and 24 h were higher than those in the control group, the weaning time was shorter than that of the control group, and the success rate of weaning was higher than that of the control group. All differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no statistically significant difference in mortality rate between the two groups ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Compared with traditional airway nursing techniques, mechanical insufflation-exsufflation combined with external diaphragm pacemaker can help elderly patients with mechanical ventilation achieve airway clearance and respiratory muscle exercise more safely and effectively, improve strength and endurance of diaphragmatic muscle and enhance the ability of spontaneous cough in elderly patients. In addition, the intervention method is mild and easy for patients to accept, and it is worthy of being widely used in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation.
