Bispecific antibodies have been exploited as both cancer immunodiagnostics and cancer therapeutics, which have shown promises in clinical trials in cancer imaging and therapy. To improve the anti-tumor effect, an scDb (bispecific single-chain diabody) was constructed from the variable domain genes of two scFvs (single-chain variable fragment antibodies) directed against human EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) and VEGFR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2) extracellular domains. The anti-EGFR/ anti-KDR scDb was constructed into pHEN2 plasmid and expressed in Escherichia coli HB2151 host. After purification by one-step affinity chromatography of IMAC, scDb protein was characterized by Western blotting. The yield of scDb protein was 570 microg per liter medium. scDb bound to EGFR as efficiently as the parental antibody scFv-E10, while a little bit weaker than the parental antibody scFv-AK404R when bound to KDR. In conclusion, the scDb protein could bind both EGFR and KDR specifically and could be applied for further anti-tumor research.

Objective:To explore the application effect of optimizing diet management in patients with hyperphosphatemia.Methods:Seventy-seven patients who underwent regular hemodialysis in the blood purification department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from September 2018 to June 2019 were selected. Patients were randomly divided into control group (39 cases) and intervention group (38 cases) by the method of random number table. The control group received routine nursing, while the intervention group received optimized dietary management intervention. The blood phosphorus, blood calcium, hemoglobin, albumin, dietary phosphorus related knowledge level and phosphorus control diet compliance of the two groups before and after the intervention were compared respectively.Results:After 3 months of intervention, the scores of knowledge about food phosphorus, compliance of phosphorus control diet and total score of the intervention group were (22.00±3.92), (34.82±4.69) and (56.82±7.48) points, which were higher than (18.46±3.57), (30.54±3.52) and (49.00±6.13) points of the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( tvalues were 4.146, 4.536 and 5.022, P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the scores of knowledge about food phosphorus, compliance of phosphorus control diet and total score of the intervention group were (25.74±3.36), (41.63±5.27) and (67.37±7.67) points, which were higher than (20.97±3.81), (32.36±4.38) and (53.33±6.80) points of the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( tvalues were 5.815, 8.403 and 8.504, P<0.05). After 3 months of intervention, the blood phosphorus level in the intervention group was 1.81 (1.67, 2.10) mmol/L, which was lower than 2.13 (1.87, 2.32) mmol/L in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( Zvalue was-3.237, P<0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the blood phosphorus level in the intervention group was 1.75 (1.63, 1.91) mmol/L, which was lower than that in the control group 1.90 (1.83, 2.13) mmol/L, and the difference was statistically significant ( Zvalue was-3.343, P<0.01). Conclusion:Optimizing dietary management can improve patients' knowledge level of food phosphorus and dietary compliance of phosphorus control, effectively reduce blood phosphorus level, and have no obvious effect on nutritional status.

ObjectiveTo investigate clinical application of intraoperative intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy using sustained-release fluorouracil in radical gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer.MethodsThe clinical data of 280 advanced gastric cancer patients admitted from September,2002 to September,2010 were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into three groups randomly and followed up.The postoperative morbidity,the mortality and the overall survival rates were evaluated.ResultsThere were no significant differences in these three groups with respect to postoperative morbidity ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The incidence of recurrence in intraperitoneal chemotherapy using sustained-release fluorouracil ( treatment group) was significantly lower than those of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and operative treatment( 16.18％,37.61％ and 41.28％,P ＜0.05).The 1,3- and 5-year overall survival rates of treatment group were 85.51％,61.28％ and 53.67％,respectively,and the 1-,3- and 5-year overall survival rates were 84.11％,39.98％ and 28.12％,and 81.28％,29.88％ and 25.21％ respectively in intrapeitoneal chemotherapy group and operative group.1-year overall survival rate had no significant differences among three groups with respect to ( P＞0.05).3-and 5-year overall survival rates in treatment group were higher signfficantly than those of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and operative treatment( P＜0.05).Conclusions Intraoperative intrapeitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy using sustained-release fluorouracil is a kind of convenient,safe,and highly effective comprehensive treatment method,and it can kill isolated intraperitoneal cancer cells.It may reduce postoperative recurrence and improve survival rates.

Objective:To analyze associations of sedentary behavior and physical activity with dyslipidemia among residents in Wuhai city.Methods: Data about social demographic characteristics, life style, health status and other covariate required for analysis in this study was obtained from a cross-sectional study on a total of 11 497 18-79 years old residents in Wuhai City by questionnaire, body mea-surement and laboratory examination.In this study, sedentary behavior and physical activity were evaluated using international physical activity questionnaire long version (IPAQ).IPAQ is widely used all over the world, and its reliability and validity have been tested in Chinese population.2016 Chinese Guideline for the Management of Dyslipidemia in Adults was used to define dyslipidemia in this study.Results: According to IPAQ scoring protocol, 124 participants were excluded as a result of reporting more than 960 min of physical activity per day.50.58% of 11 373 participants included in the analysis reported more than 4 hours of sedentary behavior per day in this study, thus 49.42% participants reported no more than 4 hours of sedentary behavior per day;the proportions of these 11 373 participants who reached Low level physical activity, Moderate level physical activity and high level physical activity were 23.43%, 37.29% and 39.28% respectively;and the detection ratios of new cases and prevalent cases of dyslipidemia in Wuhai City were 20.46% and 16.13% respectively.After controlling for confounders in this study, we found out that sedentary behavior increased the risk of new cases of dyslipidemia in women (OR=1.17, 95% CI: 1.00-1.36), and increased the risk of prevalent cases of dyslipidemia in both men (OR=1.21, 95% CI: 1.02-1.44) and women (OR=1.24, 95% CI: 1.04-1.48);as for association of physical activity with dyslipidemia, association was found between high level physical activity and prevalent cases of dyslipidemia in men in this study (OR=0.78, 95% CI: 0.62-0.98), suggested that high level physical activity may help to reduce the risk of prevalent cases of dyslipidemia in men.Conclusion: Our results from this cross-sectional study in Wuhai City suggested that sedentary behavior increased the risk of dyslipidemia;by contrast, physical activity may help to reduce the risk of dyslipidemia.

Objective To evaluate the application value of quantitative immune fecal occult blood test (FOBT) in colonoscopy for the screening of colorectal cancer in health check-up participants. Methods The subjects were selected from July 2017 to June 2018 in the Health Management Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University. The subjects were the healthy individuals who chose quantitative immune FOBT or chemical method plus immunogold double-method FOBT (referred to as"double-method FOBT"), excluding those who had interfering factors. Individuals with a positive result in primary screening were selected and conducted with colorectal cancer by colonoscopy. If the polyploidy lesions were observed during colonoscopy, the biopsy or excision was performed, and the pathological diagnosis was performed. The positive rate of primary screening, compliance rate of colonoscopy and pathological results of colonoscopy were compared between the two methods. Quantitative immunoassay FOBT was analyzed in different gender, age group, physical examination nature, positive rate of primary screening, compliance rate of colonoscopy and pathological results of colonoscopy. Results 18 728 people chose quantitative immunoassay FOBT and 6 212 people chose double-method FOBT at the same time. There was no significant difference in gender and age between the two groups (all P>0.05), which was comparable. The detection rate of quantitative immune FOBT was higher than double-method FOBT (74.62% vs 32.23%, P<0.001). The positive rate of quantitative immune FOBT in primary screening was lower than double-method FOBT (4.11% vs 5.34%, P=0.003). The colonoscopy screening rate in positive population by quantitative immune FOBT was higher than double-method FOBT (27.83% vs 13.08%, P=0.001). These differences were statistically significant. The detection rate of total lesions by colonoscopy was 71.88% in positive population by quantitative immune FOBT. It was 42.86% in double-method FOBT. There was no statistical difference between the two methods (P=0.05). The detection rates of quantitative immune FOBT were significantly different among different genders, ages and physical properties (all P<0.001). The detection rate was higher in males than in females (79.14% vs 68.75%). The detection rate was highest in the group between 40 and 59 years old (79.96%). The individual detection rate was higher than the group (90.08% vs 66.07%). The positive rates in primary screening were significantly different among different ages (P=0.001).It was highest in the group aged 60 or above (5.59%). The colonoscopy screening rate in positive population by quantitative immune FOBT was highest in the group aged 50 or above (36.96%). The detection rate of inflammatory lesions were significantly different among different ages (P<0.001). The detection rate of colorectal cancer in males was higher than in females (11.11% vs 0.00%, P=0.009). In addition, with the increasing of fecal occult blood value, the detection rate of cancer was increased (P=0.041). Conclusion The quantitative immune FOBT is an ideal non-invasive examination for early screening of colorectal cancer. It has important application values.

Objective:To explore the expressions of long non-coding RNA LINC00673 and ISG15 protein in pancreatic cancer and their clinical significances.Methods:The clinical data of 57 patients diagnosed as pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDAC) at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xiangya Medical College of Central South University from January 2014 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The relative expressions of LINC00673 in pancreatic cancer tissues and paracancerous normal tissues (within 3 cm from the edge of cancer tissues) were examined by using quantificational reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The ISG15 protein expressions in pancreatic cancer tissues and paracancerous normal tissues were examined by using immunohistochemistry. The difference in LINC00673 expression between ISG15 protein positive and negative patients was compared. The correlation between LINC00673 and ISG15 protein expressions in pancreatic cancer was analyzed by Spearman rank correlation analysis. Moreover, the correlations of LINC00673 and ISG15 protein expressions with clinical stage and pathological classification of pancreatic cancer patients were analyzed.Results:The positive expression of ISG15 protein in pancreatic cancer tissues was 40.4% (23/57), which was higher than that in paracancerous normal tissues [15.8% (9/57)] ( χ2 = 7.90, P = 0.004), and the relative expression of LINC00673 in pancreatic cancer tissues was 0.99±0.36, which was lower than that in paracancerous normal tissues (1.26±0.41) ( t = 4.80, P < 0.001). For 23 (40.4%) ISG15-positive patients and 34 (59.7%) ISG15-negative patients, the relative expression of LINC00673 was 0.77±0.46 and 0.45±0.27 ( P < 0.001). Spearman analysis showed that there was a correlation between LINC00673 and ISG15 protein expressions ( ρ = -0.429, P = 0.001). The relative expression of LINC00673 decreased in patients with low differentiated or undifferentiated tumor, vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05), but there was no correlation between LINC00673 expression and patients' age, tumor site, preoperative CA199 level, and TNM stage (all P > 0.05); ISG15 protein expression increased in patients with low differentiated or undifferentiated tumor, TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis (all P < 0.05), but there was no correlation between ISG15 protein expression and patients' gender, age, tumor site, and preoperative CA199 level (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:The expression of LINC00673 in pancreatic cancer is related to vascular invasion, tumor differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis, and the expression of ISG15 in pancreatic cancer is related to vascular invasion, tumor differentiation degree, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage. The combined detection of LINC00673 and ISG15 protein could be a valuable prognostic indicator for pancreatic cancer. The therapies targeting LINC00673 and ISG15 protein signaling pathways are expected to be a potential option for immunotherapy of pancreatic cancer.
