1.Trophoblastic cell surface protein 2 and tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(2):96-98
TROP2 (trophoblastic cell surface protein 2),a cell-surface glycoprotein,is named after its high expression only in trophoblast cells.Recent studies found that TROP2 protein is overexpressed in a variety of human epithelial cancers,and it is associated with the prognosis.However,the mechanism is still not clear.

Objective: To observe the synergetic effect of folic acid and genistein on apoptosis in the early stage of neuron and its possible mechanism. Methods: Cyclophosphamide was added to primary cultured neurons to induce apoptosis. Three different dosages of folic acid and genistein were used to inhibit apoptosis. The results were observed by flow cytometry and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: 1.Folic acid and genistein might play a role in early stages of neuron apoptosis, and the synergetic effect was demonstrated when folic acid and genistein were administered together. 2. The membrane changes in early stages of neuron apoptosis observed by scanning electron microscope were also in agreement with the flow cytometry data. Conclusion: Genistein might reinforce the protective effect of folic acid on neural tube defects by restraining the apoptosis of the early stage of neuron.

To evaluate the effects of silicone points polishing on plaque index(PI) and sulcus bleeding index(SBI) after ultrasonic scaling. Forty patients with periodontal diseases were selected for ultrasonic scaling. After scaling,unilateral teeth were randomly assigned for silicone points polishing. PI and SBI were used to evaluate the effects of silicone points polishing. Silicone points polishing significantly reduced PI 12 weeks after scaling. Both in the polishing group and the control group, SBI decreased after scaling. The SBI in the polishing group was significantly lower than that in the control group in the 24 weeks. Silicone points polishing can effectively increase the smoothness of tooth and enhance the effects of uhrosonic scaling.

Septic arthritis of the sternoclavicular joint(SCJ) is a rare condition and accounts for 0.5%-1.0% of septic arthritis.SCJ infections often require surgical intervention.Diabetes mellitus,rheumatoid arthritis,intravenous drug use,intraarticular injection and immunosuppressive disorders are predisposing factors.Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the most common bacteriologies.Early diagnosis of SCJ infection requires a high index of suspicion and a confirmatory CT or MRI scan.The characteristic imaging features include intramedullary and soft tissue gas,sequestra,soft tissue swelling and destruction or widening of joint space.Management strategies have ranged from conservative antibiotic therapy to en-bloc resection of the sternoclavicular joint with or without ipsilateral pectoralis major muscle transposition.The shoulder function in most patients were well preserved.

The methyl group plays an important role in the rational drug design. Introducing methyl into small molecules has become an important strategy of lead compound optimization. The application of methyl in drug design is reviewed in this paper. Methyl can modulate the physicochemical, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacokinetic properties by ortho effect, inductive effect, and conformational effect. It also improves the metabolic stability as a soft metabolic point. In addition, introducing methyl into drug molecules can also be applied as a strategy in new uses of old drugs and generate me-too drugs.

Objective To investigate the effect of health literacy on stroke education in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and their family members.Methods Health literacy questionnaire was used to conduct the health literacy questionnaire survey for patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and their family members.The respondents received stroke education randomly through neurologists' explanation or self-reading.The corresponding questionnaire was used to evaluate the mastering of the content of stroke education for the respondents.Results The complete data of 42 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (34 ischemic stroke and 8 transient ischemic attack) and 57 family members of the patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease were collected and enrolled in the analysis.The good health literacy score group (< 10) and the poor health literacy score group (≥ 10) were 61 and 38 subjects respectively.The proportions of younger age (x2 =16.410,P <0.001) and high school or above (68.85% vs.23.68% ;x2 =19.25,P < 0.001) of the former were higher than those of the latter,and the proportion of patients (32.79%vs.57.89%;x2 =6.043,P=0.014) was significantly lower than that of the latter,but there was no significant difference in the proportion of the males between the two groups (55.74% vs.44.74% ;x2 =1.134,P =0.287).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that health literacy was independently associated with the age of respondents (≤40 years:odds ratio [OR] 7.753,95% confidence interval [CI]1.208-49.740; P=0.031) and the level of education (high school and above:OR,3.993,95% CI 1.305-12.218; P=0.015),and it was not correlated with gender and role.Those with good stroke education score (≥7)and poor stroke education score (<7) were 57 and 42,respectively.The proportions of younger age (x2 =17.095,P <0.001),high school and above (70.00% vs.23.08% ;x2 =20.836,P < 0.001),and good health literacy score (88.33% vs.20.51%;x2 =45.968,P<0.001) were significantly higher than those of the latter,while there were no significant differences in the proportions of gender,role,and stroke education.Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that only the good health literacy was independently associated with the stroke education score (OR 20.147,95% CI6.089-66.655; P<0.001).Conclusions Health literacy can significantly affected the effect of the stroke education in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and their family members.In the development of individualized stroke education program,it should be considered.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of early anticoagulation therapy using low-molecular-weight heparin sodium against venous thromboembolism (VTE) in traumatic patients.Methods A total of 120 severely traumatized patients were assigned to convention group (n =60) and anticoagulation group (n =60) according to the random number table.Patients in convention group were given physical therapy against VTE,while in anticoagulation group were given add-on low-molecularweight heparin sodium against VTE once the stopping of blood bleeding was achieved.Safety parameters were recorded including VTE incidence,blood loss indexes,hemorrhage-related complications,incidence of heparin-induced thrombopenia (HIT) and blood coagulation function indicators.Results Thirteen patients presented with VTE,with 10 patients (17%) in convention group versus 3 patients 5%) in anticoagulation group (P < 0.05).Blood loss index in convention group was 1.252 ± 1.033 versus 1.447 ± 1.196 in anticoagulation group;two patients (3%) developed gastrointestinal bleeding in convention group versus five patients (8%) in anticoagulation group;five patients (8%) had wound bleeding in convention group versus eight patients (13%) in anticoagulation group (all P > 0.05).HIT was not noted in anticoagulation group.At the endpoint of evaluation,no significant differences were noted between the two groups with regard to changes in prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and D-dimers (P > 0.05);however,convention group versus anticoagulation group showed significant differences in international normalized ratio (INR) (0.97 ± 0.10 vs.1.03 ±0.17),fibrin (Fib) [(4.85-± 1.37) g/L vs.(4.01 ± 1.16) g/L] and platelet (PLT) [(317.68 ±141.71) ×109/Lvs.(422.20±178.16) ×109/L] (P<0.05).Conclusion Inthe earlystage of trauma,low-molecular-weight heparin anticoagulation therapy can significantly reduce the incidence of VTE without increasing the risk of bleeding.
