1.Circulating tumor cells in breast cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(7):516-518
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in breast cancer patients can be detected by Cell Search system. Results from recent studies suggested that CTCs level might serve as a prognostic marker and be used in the early assessment of therapeutic response in patients with metastatic breast cancer. However the role of CTCs in early stage breast cancer is not well established. Large prospective trials are needed to further understand its biological characteristics and to confirm its role as a predictive and prognostic marker.

3.Current situation and trends in blockade of targeted immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(7):415-419
The blockade of targeted immune checkpoint is one of the most promising approaches to activate therapeutic antitu-mor immunity. The immune checkpoint refers to a plethora of inhibitory pathways in the immune system. These pathways are crucial for maintaining self-tolerance and modulating the duration and amplitude of physiological immune responses in peripheral tissues to minimize collateral tissue damage. Tumors co-opt certain immune-checkpoint pathways as a major mechanism of immune resistance. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 antibodies were the first of this class of immunotherapeutics to acquire approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as pro-grammed cell death protein 1, indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance anti-tumor immunity with the potential to produce du-rable clinical responses. Classic chemotherapy exerts significant immunomodulatory effects on tumor cells via multiple mechanisms. Therefore, the combination of immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blockade with chemotherapy, is a new promising trend in anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;36(24):30-32
Objective To explore the clinical effect of uterine artery embolization on cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and curettage opportunity.Methods Sixty-three patients with CSP received curettage after uterine artery embolization with gelfoam were selected.Among of them,21 cases received curettage within 24 h after uterine artery embolization (group A); 20 cases within 1-3 d (group B);22 cases within 4-7 d (group C).The intraoperative haemorrhage,serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG)level resolution time,duration of hospital stay,hospitalization cost,postoperative complications were observed after the termination of the pregnancy.Results The duration of hospital stay and hospitalization cost in group A and group B were (10.5 ± 3.9),(10.2 ± 5.2) d and (7353 ± 962),(7594 ± 1032) yuan,respectively,and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Which was lower than that in group C [(13.9 ± 5.4) d,(10 980 ± 1534) yuan],and there was significant difference(P < 0.01).The intraoperative haemorrhage,serum β-hCG level resolution time and postoperative complications in group B and group C were(20.2 ± 8.8),(20.7 ± 9.3) ml and (25.9 ± 9.3),(25.7 ± 8.1) d and 40.0%(8/20),40.9%(9/22),and there was no significant difference(P> 0.05).But which was better than those in group A[(35.0 ± 10.7) ml,(20.5 ± 7.7) d,66.7% (14/21)],and there was significant difference (P <0.01).Conclusions The treatment of curettage after the uterine artery embolization is a safe and effective method for CSP.There are fewer complications,shorter hospital stays and fewer hospitalization costs if receiving curettage within 1-3 d after uterine artery embolization.

Objective:To investigate the expression pattern of MMP-11 and MMP-14 in breast carcinoma, and the effect of MMP-11 on breast carcinoma cell migration and invasion. Methods:MMP-11 and MMP-14 expression were examined in 161 invasive breast carcinoma tissue samples and 10 normal breast tissue samples. siRNA was used to knockout MMP-11 in breast carcinoma cell line MB-231 and Transwells were used to evaluate changes in migration ability and invasion ability. Results:Both MMP-11 and MMP-14 were highly expressed in breast carcinoma samples,122 and 149 samples out of 161,respectively. The expression of both proteins were correlated with lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. After knockout of MMP-11,the expression of both proteins decreased in MB-231 cell line and experiments show that the cell′s migration and invasion abilities were significantly weakened. Conclusion:MMP-11 and MMP-14 could promote invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma. Knockout of MMP-11 results in the downregulated expression of MMP-14,and the inhibition of breast carcinoma cell′s migration and invasion. They could be potential prognostic markers and treatment targets for of breast carcinoma.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of mannatide treatment with burn infection. Methods 100 burn patients admitted to Sichuan Nanchong Central Hospital from May 2009 to July 2012 were randomly divided into control group and treatment group, each group had 50 cases. Both of two groups were given conventional treatment, treatment group were treated with intravenous mannatide,control group were injected recombinant human growth hormone. Results The average length of stay in treatment group was signiifcantly shorter than control group (P=0.042). The clinical total effective rate, serum IgA, IgG, IgM and other indicators of immune function were improved signiifcantly compared with control group (P=0.037). There was no statistical signiifcance in blood protein, transferrin, prealbumin, glucose, insulin, urinary sodium, urinary potassium, chloride and other indicators of patients between two groups. Conclusion Mannatide can effectively enhance immune function, promote wound healing, shorter hospital stay and improve the clinical efifcacy.

This article was aimed to evaluate clinical efficacy of the pulmonary rehabilitation health education guidance mode. The CAT assessment tool was used for evaluation of stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) inpatients and outpatients in the Respiratory Department, Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Xinjiang Medical University. A total of 80 stable COPD patients were randomized divided into the treatment group and control group. In the treatment group, stable COPD patients received pulmonary rehabilitation health education guidance. And then the quality of life was evaluated. The results showed that compared with the control group, after 48-week health education intervention, the CAT score and dyspnea index scale score of 40 patients in the treatment group were decreased with significant difference (P < 0.05). It was concluded that the guidance mode of pulmonary rehabilitation health education was conducive to improving the quality of life of pa-tients with COPD, decreasing the dyspnea index score, and improving exercise tolerance in patients to a certain extent. This pattern can be implemented in the optimization of future clinical practice and nursing.

Purpose:To study the RNA interference-mediated inhibition of survivin gene on the proliferation of human breast cancer SKBr-3 cells. Methods:SKBr-3 cells were transfected with a pSUPER-S1 vector plasmid that expressed survivin-targeted small interfering RNA, and the mRNA and protein levels of survivin gene were measured with RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence, respectively. The proliferation of transfected SKBr-3 cells was investigated through colony forming assay and MTT assay. The cell cycle phases were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). Results:The mRNA and protein levels of survivin declined markedly in pSUPER-S1-transfected SKBr-3 cells. And the colony forming rate of those cells(38?16.70)% was significantly lower than that of the control cells(90.3?4.04)%.The growth of the pSUPER-S1-transfected cells was decelerated and the cell cycle was mainly blocked at G_(1) phase(74.03?8.91)%. Conclusions:survivin gene silencing by RNA interference contributed to a distinctive inhibition of the proliferation of human breast cancer SKBr-3 cells in vitro.
