Objective To summarize experience of nursing for thoracic breathing reconstruction in patients after cervical spinal cord in-jury (CSCI). Methods 6 cases accepting thoracic breathing reconstruction in our hospital from March 2013 to June 2014 were reviewed from 1 week before operation to 4 weeks after operation. Results All the patients, aged (41.7 ± 16.2) years, received tracheotomy (6.0 ± 5.8) days after injury because of weakened cough, retention of respiratory secretions and dyspnea;the ventilator was used for (45.3±25.9) days, and they received thoracic breathing reconstruction surgery (84±26.7) days after injury. Their vital capacity was (1085±92) ml before opera-tion and was (1680±283) ml 2 weeks after operation with 55%increment (P<0.01). Only 1 patient underwent a delayed wound healing. No pulmonary infection, urinary tract infections and pressure sore occurred until 4 weeks after operation. Conclusion Enhancement of airway care and prevention of pressure sore are the keys to reduce postoperative complications of thoracic breathing reconstruction.

Objective To assess polymerase chain reaction(PCR)combined with restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP)and gene sequencing technologies in the detection and typing of HPV DNA.Methods Tissue specimens were collected from skin diseases and venereal disease in perianal or genitals.PCR was performed with HPV DNA general primers(MY09/11)in tissue samples. Positive fragments of HPV DNA were purified and digested by restriction enzymes.The digested fragments were typed by po]yacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE).The Resultswere verified by direct sequencing.Results In 50 clinical samples there were 35 HPV DNA positive,including 26 from patients with condyloma acuminatum,8 from patients with bowenoid papulosis,and 1 from patients with squamous cell carcinoma.In HPV DNA positive samples,19 were HPV6,3 were HPV11,8 were HPV16,4 were HPV6 and HPV 11,and I was HPV62.Sequencing Resultswere in accordance with the PCR-RFLP Results .Conclusion PCRRFLP method is effective in the detection and typing of HPV DNA.

Objective To evaluate whether S-100β protein could be a serum marker for traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods From June, 2013 to October, 2014, 24 patients with complete SCI were measured the serum S-100β protein concentrations with en-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay, one week, three and six months after SCI. Serum from ten healthy persons was as normal control. Re-sults The serum S-100βprotein concentrations increased one week and 3 months after SCI (Z>4.273, P<0.001). Conclusion The increase of serum S-100βprotein may help assessing early impairment after complete SCI.

Recent studies have identified that metabolic reprogramming in lung adenocarcinoma cells, particularly lactate metabolism disorders, plays a crucial role in tumor development and immune therapy response. The accumulation of lactic acid not only provides energy support for the proliferation of tumor cells but also affects the function of immune cells by changing the tumor microenvironment, thereby promoting immune escape. Immunotherapy, especially the application of immune checkpoint inhibitors, has become an important strategy for treating lung adenocarcinoma. However, lactate metabolism disorders might affect the efficacy of immunotherapy, leading to resistance in some patients. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of lactic acid metabolism in lung adenocarcinoma and its impact on the response to immunotherapy is essential for developing new therapeutic strategies and improving the efficacy of immunotherapy. This review summarizes the role of lactate metabolism disorders in the development and immunotherapy of lung adenocarcinoma, discusses the potential role of lactic acid metabolism-related genes and pathways in lung adenocarcinoma, and explores the progress in therapeutic strategies targeting lactic acid metabolism regulation. This work aims to provide new insights for the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma.
