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.

Objective To get a view of the participation, motivation and barrier of voluntary activities in medical graduates, and to provide valuable advices for improving such behaviors. Methods The convenience sample method was used in medical graduates in 2014 and the total sample was 348. The data of voluntary service were collected by self-designed questionnaire, including whether partici-pating in voluntary service, times, types, motivations and barriers. SPSS 20.0 were used in statistic analysis and data were processed by description analysis and χ2 test. Results The effective response rate is 80.7%(281). The proportion of the post graduated students participation in voluntary activities is 65.8%(185), however, only 13.4%(28) claimed such activities more than 3 times. The proportion of participation in male, student leaders and party members were higher than those female, non-student leaders and non-party members, the different is statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of medical related voluntary activities is 52.6%. The primary motivation of voluntary behaviors is social responsibility (30.1%), while the primary obstacle is lack of medium (39.50%)and limitation of personal time and energy (30.0%). Conclusions The participation and persistence of voluntary activity in graduated students are not high enough. The colleges need to strength the organization and management of voluntary activities and focus on social responsible education, inspire and guide the postgradu ate students to participate in voluntary activities persistently by using their specialties.

Objective To observe and assess the effect about bundles of cure Rule of three three in the treatment for residual stones after Flexible Ureteroscope.Methods 120 patients with a single stone after urinary lithotripsy were divided into two groups according to the different indwelling time.Two cases of the control group were rejected because of severe hematuria.The control group (n=58) was subjected to the regular education (drinking water 3 000 ml per day with moderate exercise);The experiment group (n=60) was subjected to the Rule of three three (drinking 3 cups of water in thc morning、midday and night,with contralateral position 30 minutes,hot towel applying and gently tapping the kidney region 30 minutes).Results The calculi discharge rate and the net rate of experiment group [86.67％ (52/60),55.00％ (33/60)] were higher than the control group [53.45％(32/58),18.97％(11/58)] 14 days after surgery.The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).Further analysis showed that the discharge rate of residual stones in lower renal calyx in experiment group [86.67％(26/30)] was higher than the control group [32.14％(9/28)].The difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The bundles of cure called rule of three three can improve the discharge rate of residual calculi after flexible ureteroscope and increase the discharge rate of residual stones in lower renal calyx significantly.

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 assess the clinical value of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy diagnosed by free fetal DNA in maternal plasma in 11-13+6 gestational weeks.Methods A total of 2 650 pregnant women who had prenatal care in Tianjin Center Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology from January 1,2010 to December 31,2010 were included.Each of them had an ultrasound scan to measure fetal nuchal translucency thickness.Maternal serum free β-human chorionic gonadotropin and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A test was performed as part of screening for chromosomal abnormalities.Results of ultrasound and maternal plasma biochemical analysis were entered into the database,and converted into multiple of median (MoM) by factors such as maternal age,weight,ethnicity,smoking history and mode of conception.The cutoff value was 1 ∶ 270.Meanwhile,20 cases had cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA) test and the ratio of the single nucleotide polymorphism on two alleles of plancenta-specific 4 (PLAC4) were measured in 16 cases.T-test,rank sum test,MannWhitney U test and Chi-square test were used as statistical methods.Results (1) A total of 74 cases were judged as high-risk,among which 35 cases underwent transabdominal chorionic villus sampling (18 cases had cffDNA test),37 cases underwent amniocentesis at the week of 20,and two cases of Rh negative did not receive the invasive examination.Totally 20 cases,including two Rh negative cases,had the cell-free fetal DNA test.(2) By cffDNA test of maternal plasma,two cases of 21 trisomy,one case of 18 trisomy,two cases of 45,XO and one case of balanced translocation were diagnosed.(3) In the two cases of 21 trisomy,maternal plasma G/A ratio ofPL4C4 RNA-single nucleotide polymorphism alleles was 1.00 (0.98,1.02) ; in 14 pregnancies with normal chromosome,the ratio was 1.055 (1.02,1.13,Z=3.5).There was no significant difference (P=0.066).Conclusion Diagnosing of fetal chromosomal aneuploidy by cffDNA in maternal plasma is feasible and noninvasive with high negative predictive value,and can be used in Rh-negative pregnant women for prenatal screening and diagnosis.

‘Quality engineering’is the important measure to deepen teaching reformation and upgrade teaching quality in new period.During the practice of‘quality engineering’,our hospital completed six basic works including building special professions as the core,making exquisite courses,teaching team,bilingual demonstration courses and teaching material as the supports as well as taking leaders'high emphasis,organization construction and implementation of supporting documents as the guarantee,thus to push forward dominant professions and promote teaching qualities.

With the development and the expansion of higher medical education,lack of course resource became a “bottleneck” which restricted the development of medical schools.Teaching hospitals played some roles in medical education,but there was a huge gap in teaching ability between these hospitals and the hospitals affiliated with universities.The Clinical College analyzed the current situation of teaching ability in teaching hospitals and did the preliminary research for the solutions of this situation.
