Objective To study effects of Kanglaite injection combined with gefitinib on inflammatory factors and immune function in patients with advanced lung cancer.Methods 98 patients with advanced lung cancer in First People 's Hospital of Yuhang District from December 2013 to September 2016 were selected and randomly divided into gefitinib-treated group and combination drug-treated group with 49 cases in each group.The patients in the gefitinib-treated group were treated with gefitinib, the patients in the combination drug-treated group were treated with gefitinib and Kanglaite injection.The clinical efficacy, inflammatory factors, immune function, quality of life and adverse reactions were observed and compared between the two groups. Results The efficacy and control rate in combination drug-treated group were higher than gefitinib-treated group(P<0.05).The inflammatory factors such as CRP, IL-6 and TNF-αwere significantly improved in the two groups before treatment, and the combination drug-treated group improved significantly better than gefitinib-treated group(P<0.05).The levels of cellular immune factors in the two groups were significantly improved compared with that before treatment, and the combination drug-treated group was significantly better than the gefitinib-treated group(P<0.05).The quality of life in the combination drug-treated group was significantly higher than the gefitinib-treated group(P<0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting, thrombocytopenia, and renal dysfunction in combination drug-treated group was lower than in the gefitinib-treated group( P<0.05).Conclusion Application of gefitinib combined with Kanglaite injection in the treatment of patients with advanced lung cancer treatment is more significant, can effectively reduce the systemic inflammation and adverse reactions, improve immune function and quality of life.

Objective To explore the pathogenesis of ischemic preconditioning to warm ischemia reperfusion injury of hepatocytes in rats. Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups:sham operation group (group A), warm hepatic ischemia/reperfusion group(group B and group C). Group C was given ischemic preconditioning treatment. Serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected 0 h, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after ischemia reperfusion injury. Levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were tested detected by ELISA. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) of hepatocytes were detected at the same time points. Mitochondrial membrane potential was examined to assess ischemia reperfusion injury of hepatocytes in rats using chart of intensity of JC-1 in mitochondria. Results The serum levels of ALT, TNF-α, IL-1β, and MDA were significantly higher in hepatic warm ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic preconditioning group than those in sham operation group (P<0.05). Values of prothrombin activity and cholinesterase were significantly lower in liver warm ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic preconditioning group than those of sham operation group (P<0.05). The SOD level of liver was significantly lower in warm ischemia reperfusion group and ischemic preconditioning group than that in sham operation group. The indexes were better in ischemic preconditioning group than those of warm ischemia reperfusion group (P<0.05). The mitochondrial membrane potential level of liver cells reached the lowest value 0 hours after ischemia and reperfusion, and then increased gradually within 24 hours (P<0.05). And the level of mitochondrial membrane potential of liver cells was significantly higher in ischemic preconditioning group than that in warm ischemia reperfusion group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ischemic preconditioning may play a protective role in warm ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Ischemic preconditioning may significantly decrease the levels of ALT, AST, TNF-α, IL-1βand MDA, and increase the SOD activity in hepatocytes. Thedamage of mitochondrial membrane potential is decreased after ischemic preconditioning, which might be the pathogenesis of ischemic preconditioning to warm ischemia reperfusion injury of hepatocytes in rats.

Objective To survey the incidence of HIV/HCV co-infection and its epidemiological characteristics among drug addicts in Urumqi City.Methods From June to November,2007,1000 blood samples were collected sequentially from the drug addicts,who were admitted to Urumqi City Detoxification Center,for HIV and HCV detection by ELISA.The tests for screening,reexamination and confirmation were carried out under the guidance of the instruction for the use reagent rigorously,and the results were assessed according to corresponding technical regulation issued by authorities.The surveillance registration tables of drug addicts were filled for statistical study and analysis.Results The infection rates of HIV and HCV among 1000 drug addicts were 26.3% and 72.3% respectively.The co-infection rate of HIV/HCV was 25.5%.96.9% of HIV positive addicts were co-infected with HCV.There were significant differences in the infection rates of HIV,HCV and HIV/HCV co-infection between intravenous drug users and non-intravenous drug users.There were significant differences in the infection rates of HIV,HCV and HIV/HCV co-infection between Uygur and drug addicts of other ethnics.Conclusions A high co-infection rate of HIV/HCV exists in the drug addicts of Urumqi City,and even worse is that most HIV positives have co-infected with HCV.The infection rates of HIV,HCV and HIV/HCV co-infection in intravenous drug users are obviously higher than that in non-intravenous drug users.The infection rates of HIV,HCV and HIV/HCV co-infection in Uygur drug addicts are higher than that in other ethnics.

Background and purpose:The E-cadherin as a pivotal structural protein is important for cellular polarity and maintainance of normal tissue morphology and cellular differentiation. Recently some study investigated the impact of the C/A genetic polymorphism at-160 from the site of the E-cadherin gene promoter on susceptibility in NPC. To evaluate the association of the E-cadherin gene promoter-160 C/A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma risk in a Chinese population, we designed a hospital-based case-control study. Methods:Subjects included in this study were 303 patients deifnitely diagnosed with NPC, and 318 matched healthy controls. We used TaqMan Probe method for analyzing polymorphism. Results:The A/A genotype was associated with increased risk of NPC after being adjusted for age and gender (adjusted OR=2.09, 95%CI:1.03-4.22, P=0.04). When 2 gender groups were analysed respectively, female group with A/A genotypes showed a higher risk (OR=7.57, 95%CI:1.57-36.47, P=0.012). Besides, among NPC patients compared with males A/A genotype, females with A/A genotype had a signiifcant risk(OR=2.66, 95%CI:1.14-6.20, P=0.024). Conclusion:The A/A genotype of E-cadherin promoter-160 C/A might be genetic risk factor for NPC, especially female patients.

To examine the relationship between the levels of the serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the micrometastasis of peripheral blood in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), 108 NSCLC patients, including 40 patients with benign lung diseases and 30 healthy controls, were investigated. The serum VEGF levels were detected by ELISA and CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In NSCLC group, the serum VEGF levels and the positive rate of CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood were 479.8+/-268.5 pg/mL and 66.7%, which were significantly higher than those of the other two groups respectively (P<0.01), and both of them were increased significantly with the progression of clinical stage of the tumors (P<0.01). Serum VEGF levels as well as the positive rate of CK19 mRNA in different pathological types of lung cancer had no significant differences (P>0.05). Serum VEGF levels in the patients positive for CK19 mRNA was 561.7+/-325.6 pg/mL. It is significantly higher than that in the negative patients (P<0.01). There existed a significant correlation between serum VEGF levels and expression of CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood in NSCLC patients (P<0.001). The detection of serum VEGF levels and CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood is helpful in judging the condition and the prognosis of NSCLC patients, and serum VEGF levels and CK19 mRNA are independent of the pathological types of lung cancer. The micrometastasis in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients is significantly associated with serum VEGF levels.

Objective To observe the influence of taurine supplementation during early postnatal life on body weight and ultrastructure of islet ? cells in neonatal rats with low birth weight(LBW).Methods LBW neonatal rats were made by feeding 20%(C group) or 10%(R group) protein diet to fetal rats during gestation and lactation.Half of femal rats in group R were given a supplementation with 2.5% taurine drinking water(RT group) only during lactation,while other femal rats freely drunk.At postnatal day 1 and 21,the neonatal rats were weighted and their pancreas were removed.The ultrastructural changes of ? cells were observed by electron microscopy.Results At postnatal 21 days,the body weight of offsprings in group RT was significantly highter than that in group R(P=0.003);and the ultrastructure of ? cells in group RT got more improvement than that in group R.Conclusion Taurine supplementation can improve the growth-catch-up and the ultrastructure of islet ? cells of neonateal rats with LBW.

Objective To investigate the incidence of hearing disorder and analyse the high-risk factors with hearing injury in newborns with hyperbilirubinemia.Methods The newborns with hyperbilirubinemia who admitted to the department of neonate,were received the distortion product otoacoustic emission(DPOAE)test when they recovered from hyperbilirubinemia;those babies who didn′t pass the first test received screening again in 42 days after birth.Those babies who didn′t pass the second test received auditory brain stem response(ABR)test.Results Fifty-eight(33.2%)newborns didn′t pass the first DPOAE test among 235 newborns with hyperbilirubinemia;11(18.9%)infants didn′t pass the second DPOAE test among 58 infants;5 infants failed to pass the ABR test,the ratio of hea-ring disorder in newborns with hyperbilirubinemia was 2.13%;18(9.9%)newborns didn′t pass the first DPOAE test among 182 normal newborns,and those infants all passed the second DPOAE test.Conclusions Hyperbilirubinemia is high-risk population of hearing disorder.The congenital cytomegalovirus infection,neonatal septicemia and hemolytic disease of newborn are the high risk factors responsible for hearing disorder.All high risk newborns should recieve hearing examination regularly.
