Brother of regulator of imprinted sites (BORIS), also known as CCCTC binding factor-like (CTCFL), is a relatively newly discovered cancer-testis antigen. Drug development related to BORIS has been carried out in multiple directions, including small molecules, small RNA molecules, polypeptides, vaccines, and cellular therapies. Due to its unique ability to interfere with the higher-order spatial structure of the genome, BORIS may represent a new class of drug targets. Here we systematically review the molecular biology research results related to BORIS, including the diversity of its gene products, the multipartite interactions mediated by BORIS, the subsequent impact on signaling pathways, and current drug development strategies, in order to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of BORIS in both upstream and downstream regulation networks and to identify potential research directions for further breakthroughs.

Objective To explore the living situations of primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) patients of different ages after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods By convenience sampling,153 PHC patients after TACE were enrolled from a Glass 1 Grade A hospital.Their data were collected with general data questionnaire,Zung's SDS scale,quality of life cancer (QOL-LC),memorial symptom assessment scales and social support scale to investigate the PHC patients.Results The differences were statistically significant in view of cultural level,marriage status,occupation,state of the economy,family type,preoperative health training,AFP (alpha fetoprotein),and physical stamina score (all P＜0.05).Among the groups of different ages,there were also statistically significant differences in terms of depression,life quality,symptom burdens and social support.More exactly,the level of depression in the group of middle age was significantly higher than that of the group of old age;The symptom burdens of the group of young age and middle age were higher than those of the group of old age.The social support and life quality of the groups of young age and middle age was both higher than that of the group of old age (all P＜0.05).Conclusions The living situations of PHC patients of different ages after TACE are different.Doctors and nurses should consider the differences in their depression,quality of life,and social support so as to take pertinent interventions.

Objective To discuss the development of the disinfection frame for lower limb and application of the frame. Methods The disinfection frame for lower limb was researched and developed. The patients in lower limb orthopedic surgery from July to December in 2009 were selected and divided randomly in two groups. The control group was 30 patients that the traditional bandage suspended disinfection was adopted, and the experimental group was 40 patients that the disinfection frame for lower limb was adopted. Disinfection effect, sterilization time, patient's comfort ability and medical compliance in two groups were compared. Results Infection pass rates were 100％ in the two groups. The differences are existed between two groups of sterilization time, quantitative pain comfort ability and labor intensity of lifting the patients' lower limb(t = 2. 163, X2 = 25.579,31.130;P ＜ 0. 05 or P ＜0. 01). Conclusions The human resource can be effectively saved by applying the disinfection frame in the surgical sterilization for lower limb, and the patient' s comfort ability is improved.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the relationship of clinical efficacy between XPD Lys751Gln (A/C),XPD Asp312Asn(G/A)and platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBase, Medline, CJFD,VIP database and WanFang database,studies about the effects of XPD Lys751Gln and XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism on ef-fectiveness,clinical outcomes and adverse drug reaction of platinum-based chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients were collect-ed,and Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.3 software. RESULTS:Totally 30 studies were included,involving 5 028 patients. Genetic testing showed that XPD Lys751Gln divided into mutant gene (Lys/Gln + Gln/ Gln) and wild-type gene (Lys/Lys),while XPD Asp312Asn divided into mutant gene (Asp/Asn + Asn/Asn) and wild-type gene (Asp/Asp). Results of Me-ta-analysis showed,the progression-free survival (PFS) of Lys/Gln+Gln/Gln patients with platinum in XPD Lys751Gln polymor-phism was obviously lower than Lys/Lys patients [OR=-1.12,95%CI(-1.73,-0.50),P<0.001],while there was no significant difference in the chemotherapy effectiveness and total survival period. The effective rate of Asp/Asn+Asn/Asn patients for platinum in XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism was lower than Asp/Asp patients [OR=0.80,95%CI(0.68,0.96),P=0.02],while there was no significant difference in the total survival period and PFS. Meanwhile,the incidence of Ⅲ-Ⅳ level gastrointestinal adverse reac-tions of Lys/Gln+Gln/Gln with platinum in XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism was higher than Lys/Lys patients [OR=0.43,95%CI (0.20,0.94),P=0.03],and there was no significant difference in Ⅲ-Ⅳ level blood system adverse reactions. CONCLUSIONS:XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism may be associated with PFS and Ⅲ-Ⅳ level gastrointestinal adverse reactions for advanced NSCLC patients with platinum-based chemotherapy,while XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism may have effect on platinum-based chemotherapy,both of them may be as estimate the chemotherapy effect and prognosis detection index of platinum-based chemo-therapy.

Objective Pulmonary fibrosis ( PF) is a group of pulmonary interstitial pathological changes caused by various factors, and its pathogenesis is not yet fully elucidated .This article discussed the effect of lycium barbarum polysaccharide ( LBP) on ble-omycin-induced PF in mice and its action mechanisms . Methods The C57/BL6 mice were randomly divided into 6 groups:sham-opera-tion, PF model, dexamethasone ( DM), high-dose LBP, medium-dose LBP, and low-dose LBP.The mice in the sham-operation group were injected into the trachea with isotonic saline and those in the oth-er groups with 5 bleomycin at mg/kg for establishing the PF model . Two days after modeling , the mice in the DM and high-, medium-,and low-dose LBP groups were treated with DM at 5 mg/kg and LBP at 0.8, 0.4, and 0.2 g/kg, while those in the sham-operation and PF model groups with the same volume of isotonic saline , respectively , qd, for 4 consecutive weeks .Then, the pathological chan-ges of the lung tissue were observed and the hydroxyproline ( HYP) content in the lung tissue was detected for all the animals .RT-PCR was used to determine the relative expressions of the PF-related COL1A1 and α-SMA genes. Results Compared with the PF mod-els, the the high-, medium-, and low-dose LBP groups showed significant increased body weight after 4 weeks of medication ([14.29 ±0.38] vs [16.12 ±0.37], [15.58 ±0.25] and [15.07 ±0.21] g, P<0.01), the high-and medium-dose groups ex-hibited remarkably decreased lung indexes ([0.887 ±0.13] vs [0.847 ±0.22] and [0.859 ±0.18]%, P<0.05), and the high-dose group presented markedly reduced alveolitis score (3.40 ±0.23 vs 3.09 ±0.22, P<0.05), PF score (3.57 ±0.27 vs 3.07 ± 0.31, P<0.01) and HYP content ([0.831 ±0.05] vs [0.786 ±0.07] μg/mg wet weight, P<0.05).In comparison with the mod-el group, the DM, high-dose LBP and medium-dose LBP groups showed significantly decreased gene expressions of COL 1A1 (1.53 ± 0.13 vs 1.26 ±0.10 and 0.98 ±0.17, P<0.05) and α-SMA (5.67 ±0.47 vs 4.19 ±0.28 and 2.29 ±0.31, P<0.05). Conclusion LBP can suppress the progression of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the gene expressions of COL 1A1 andα-SMA and decreasing the HYP content in the lung tissue .
