1.Progress of research on the relations of GST-π and chemotherapy drug resistance for ovarian cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(3):225-227
The platinum-based chemotherapy play an important role in alleviating symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer patients and prolongation of survival time ,The multidrug resistance(MDR),however,seriously affects the chemotherapy affect, the current MDR and its Mechanism studies show that,as a phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes ghtathione S-transferase-π(GST-π) promote tumor cell resistance to chemotherapoutic drugs by affecting the biotransformation and metabolic processes of drugs,and closely related to MDR in ovarian cancer.

Tianjin Medical Journal 2010;38(1):29-31
Objective: To investigate the effect of different concentrations of dextrose transfusion on cerebral glucose metabolism in pediatric neurosurgical operations. Methods: Sixty anesthetized children undergoing selective cerebral tumor resection were randomly divided into three groups: Ringer lactate solution group (A, n = 20), 2.5% dextrose lactated Ringer's solution group(B, n = 20), 1% dextrose lactated Ringer's solution group (C, n = 20). All the hemodynamic data were recorded during anesthesia. The values of blood glucose and lactic acid were collected before intubation(T_a), 2 hours after opening cerebral dura mater (T_b) and the end of operation (T_c). The catheters for microdialysis were punctured into normal brain tissue. The contents of glucose and lactic acid were determined in the collected intercellular fluid by biochemical analysis instruments at T_A and T_B respectively. Results: There were no differences in heart rate(HR), mean arterial pressure(MAP) and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO_2) among three groups(P > 0.05). There were no differences in blood glucose at T_a between three groups(P > 0.05). The values of blood glucose at T_b and T_c were B group>C group>A group(P < 0.05). The values of blood glucose were higher at T_b and T_c than that of T_a in three groups(P < 0.05). There were no differences in blood lactic acid among three groups(P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in values of glucose and lactic acid in the collected intercellular fluid among three groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion: Transfusion of Ringer lactate solution or low concentration dextrose solution will increase blood glucose in pediatric neurosurgical operations, but still in the normal range, which has a little influence on blood lactic acid, glucose and lactic acid in brain intercellular fluid. It is a safe choice during neurosurgical operation.

Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2016;(3):288-291
Conventional CT plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy target delineation, and prognosis of NSCLC, but it still has many limitations.PET/CT has been widely used in the diagnosis and treamtent of lung cancer.In particular, PET/CT metabolic parameters have great guiding significance in the prognosis of NSCLC patients undergoing radiotherapy, and may be superior to many clinical indices.This review summarizes the advances in the application of PET/CT in the prognostic evaluation of NSCLC patients undergoing radiotherapy.

ObjectiveTo observe the spinal cord pathological change and hindlimbs motor function of rats after decompression on chronic spinal cord injury.Methods 30 Wistar rats were divided randomly into conrol group ( n =5 ),compression group ( n =5 ) and decompression group ( n =20 ),then the decompression group was subdivided into 4 parts as 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks after decompression.Decompression was made after 30 days of chronic spinal cord copression injury,rats'motor function was detected by inclined plate experiment,the histopathological change,Nissl body and neural cells apoptosis in different spinal cord sections were assessed by the stainings of HE,Nissl and TUNEL.ResultsCompared with control group,the behavior testing showed all rats in compression group presented with weakness of muscle power in their hindlimbs (P < 0.01 ),but the hindlimbs motor functions recovered from the first week after decompression and the difference had statistical significance compared with the compression group(P< 0.01 ).Then the rats hindlimbs functions recovered gradually later on.The staining of HE,Nissl and TUNEL showed that the injured spinal cord section performed no improvement at the first 2 weeks after decompression,the neural apoptosis index(24.31 ± 4.73 )% decreased until the forth week after decompression(P<0.05).The spinal cord segments closed to the injured part recovered in early stage.At 1 week after decompression,lots of Nissl bodys were observed in spinal anterior horn,the neural apoptosis index in the 2 sections closed to the injured part were ( 15.21 ± 4.81 ) % and ( 16.21 ± 3.98 ) %,which declined observably compared with compression group(P < 0.05 ).ConclusionAfter decompression on chronic spinal cord injury,the recovery of rats'hindlimbs motor function in early stage is probably benefited by the functional compensation of the spinal cord segments closed to the injured section.

Objective To evaluate the effects of moderate oxygen concentration (40% O2) on A549 cells and expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) mRNA and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA in A549 cells.Methods Cultured A549 cells were seeded in 6-well plates (1 mYhole) or in 10 cm diameter dishes (5 ml/dish) with the density of 1 × 1O5 cells/ml and randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),40% oxygen concentration group (group 40% O2),and 95% oxygen concentration group (group 95 % O2).A549 cells were exposed to air,40 % O2 and 95 % O2 for 48 h in C,40% O2 and 95% O2 groups,respectively.The necrosis and expression of TGF-β1 mRNA and CTGF mRNA were detected at the end of culture.Results Compared with group C,the necrosis rate was significantly increased,while the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA and CTGF mRNA was up-regulated in 40% O2 and 95% O2 groups (P < 0.05).Compared with group 95 % O2,the necrosis rate was significantly decreased,while the expression of TGF-β1 mRNA was down-regulated (P < 0.05),and there was no significant difference in CTGF mRNA expression in group 40 % O2 (P > 0.05).Conclusion Exposure to moderate oxygen concentration for a certain time can induce damage to A549 cells,but the severity is lighter than that caused by high oxygen concentration,and up-regulation of TGF-β1 and CTGF gene expression may be involved in the mechanism.

ObjectiveTo assess the degree of pain in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU using critical-care pain observation tool(CPOT) and to choose the correct sedative and analgesic method.Methods 110 elderly patients in ICU after neurosurgery were divided into three assessment stages,every stage had two record points and total six points (T1-T6):the first stage (intubation and unconsciousness,T1-T2),the second stage (intubation and consciousness,T3T4 ) and the third stage(extubation and consciousness,T5-T6 ).Among them T1,T3and T5were nonnocuity assessment points of every stage,while T2,T4 and T6 were nocuity assessment points of every stage.The assessment time was one minute at every point.After recorded at every point in second and third stages,patients were asked to use the pain intensity descriptive scale (PIDS) themselves.CPOT,heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP) from T1 to T6 were recorded as well as PIDS from T3 to T6 in second and third stages.Results In the three stages,CPOT〔(26.8 vs.0.54,3.36 vs.1.20,2.78 vs.0.68) scores〕,HR〔(95 vs.85,94 vs.82,94 vs.84)beat/min〕 and MAP〔(95 vs.85,95 vs.87,94 vs.87)mm Hg〕 at T2,T4and T6 were higher than T1 (t=-42.89,-55.95,-55.38),T3 (t =- 5.52,- 11.33,- 11.78) and T5 ( t =- 5.54,- 9.95,- 11.33 ) ( P< 0.05 ).The PIDS at T4 and T6were higher than at T3and T5in the second and third stages 〔(2.52 vs.1.69,2.12 vs.1.44)scores〕 (P<0.05).The correlation coefficient between CPOT and PIDS at T3 and T4 in the second stage were 0.49 and 0.58,respectively (P<0.05),and between CPOT and PIDS at T5 and T6 were 0.52 and 0.59 in the third stage,respectively (P < 0.05),and they both reached moderate correlation.ConclusionsCPOT may be an effective way to assess the degree of pain in elderly patients with mechanical ventilation at present.
