1.Current prevention and therapies in acute GVHD
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2010;19(9):567-569
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the major curative treatment for patients with malignant hematologic diseases. However, a number of serious complications limits successful outcomes. Acute graft-versus-host disease(GVHD) is a major cause of death following allo-HSCT.The mortality rate is 50 % in Ⅱ -Ⅳ aGVHD. At present, the major prevention methods conclude inhibiting T cell activation and proliferation, depleting of T cell in graft, and decreasing the dose of preconditioning. And only one quarter of these patients will have a complete response to first-line corticosteroid therapy. Patients with steroid resistant acute GVHD require second-line therapy to which the response rate is only 30 %-50 %.Second-line therapies including monoclone antibody, chemotherapy and cytokine inhibitor were used. Secondline options can impair immune reconstitution and increase the risk for infection. Therefore, novel approaches to prevent and treat GVHD are critically needed. This work will review novel immuno-modulatory therapy currently being employed both for the prevention and treatment of GVHD.
2.Effects of portal blood flow on intraductal radiofrequency ablation
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2008;7(3):203-205
Objective To observe whether coagulation zones can be produced by intraductal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in vivo and investigate the effect of portal blood flow on the sizes of coagulation zones. Methods Fourteen bile duct targets in hepatic hilar from 6 swines were equally divided into non-Pringle manoeuvre group and Pringle manoeuvre group. A 13mm segment of non-insulated mono-electrode was inserted into the bile duct, then RFA was performed under the condition of 5 W power output for 4 minutes. The pathological changes of bile duct and adjacent hepatic tissues were observed. Results Semi-oval offwhite coagulation zones in the sections were observed in both groups, with obvious dark-red rims around them. Necrosis and denaturation of mucosal and submucosal layers of bile duct and denaturation of adjacent hepatic tissue in coagulation zones were observed under optical microscope. The dark-red rims revealed hepatic hemorrhage. The mean long axial diameter of coagulation zones in the non-Pringle manoeuvre group and Pringle manoeuvre group was (13.29±1.38)mm and (13.29±1.1 1)mm, respectively, with no statistical difference (t=0.000, P>0.05). The mean short axial diameter of coagulation zones in the non-Pringle manoeuvre group and Pringle manoeuvre group was (3.14±1.07)mm and (4.57±0.98)mm, respectively, with statistical difference (t=2.611, P<0.05). Conclusions Intraductal RFA can produce a typical ablation zone. The portal blood flow affects the short axial diameter of coagulation zone but does not affect the long axial diameter.

6.Progress in researches of the receptor tyrosine kinase EphA1
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(03):-
EphA1,the first member of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family,not only plays a pivotal role in embryonic development and angiogenesis,but also expresses in some types of adult human tissues.Its specific characteristics of Eph/ephrin binding and the Eph/ephrin signaling transduction are fundamentally involved in tumor initiation,progression and metastasis.The expression levels of EphA1 vary considerably in different types of normal tissues and tumors,or even in different phases of tumor development,suggestive of its functional pluralism.Intensive studies of EphA1 on angiogenesis,carcinogenesis and metastasis may provide a method for the early diagnosis and a potential target for the treatment of cancers.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(14):1916-1920
OBJECTIVE:To explore the risk factors for nosocomial infection of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in ICU,and to provide reference for preventing and controlling MDRO in ICU. METHODS:In retrospective study,246 patients with nosocomial infection from ICU of Xi'an Aerospace General Hospital (hereinafter referred to asour hospital) during Jan. 2011-Dec. 2015 were selected and divided into non-MDRO infection group (140 cases) and MDRO infection group (106 cases). The detection and drug resistance of MDRO were analyzed in MDRO group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression anal-ysis were used to explore risk factors for nosocomial infection of MDRO. RESULTS:During 2011-2015,435 strains of MDRO were isolated from 106 MDRO infection patients,in which Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 89.43%,showing severe drug re-sistance. Univariate analysis showed that the following 13 factors were related to nosocomial infection of MDRO,such as ICU ad-mission time,hypoproteinemia,acute cerebrovascular diseases,renal abnormalities,mechanical ventilation time,arterivenous cath-eterization time,urethral catheterization time,indwelling gastric tube time,type and time of using antibiotics,combined use of an-tibiotics,application of carbapenems and the third generation caphalosporins(P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that acute cerebrovascular diseases,type and time of using antibiotics were the independent risk factors for nosocomial infection of MDRO in ICU [odds ratios were 2.816,1.582,1.265,95%CI were (1.540,5.151),(1.085,2.306),(1.131,1.415)]. CONCLU-SIONS:Some prevention and control measures should be taken actively for high-risk MDRO infection patients in ICU to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infection of MDRO and improve the quality of health care.
