1.Research advances in molecular prediction of recurrence and metastasis of primary liver cancer after liver transplan-tation
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2014;30(12):1361-1365
Liver transplantation is an essential treatment of primary liver cancer,but the postoperative high risk of recurrence and metastasis has seriously affected the effect of liver transplantation.With the development of molecular biology,researchers have found numerous molec-ular markers potentially related to the recurrence and metastasis of liver cancer after liver transplantation.These markers,including genes, proteins,tumor markers,and serum viruses,are summarized,and their predictive values for tumor recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation are analyzed.A growing number of molecular markers have been found,but which is not enough for clinical guidance.There-fore,more studies are needed to identify appropriate molecular markers of tumor recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation.

Journal of Practical Stomatology 1996;0(02):-
Objective:In 2003,a survey of the manpower of pediatric dentists was made in China in order to provide basis for database. Methods:Questionnaires were distributed to dentists presenced the 5th conference of pediatric dentistry in China,and 139 available answers were analysis. Results:In those 139 pediatric dentists, with a mean age of 38.2?8.7,females were significantly more than males, and 89.9% dentists had bachelor, master or doctor degree. Significant relations were found between self-estimate ability of dentists and their length of work, degree, character of clinic.Conclusion:To date, the team of pediatric dentists begins to take shape, the structure of age and education are rational, but the number of them is insufficient and it is necessary to improve the basic and continuing education.

Objective To explore the effect of Jiawei Wendan decoction on whole regulating function of CaMK/MAPK signal pathway in hippocampus of depression model rats.Methods Isolated depression model rats as research object were living unpredictable chronic stress.Based on the examination of mRNA/protein expression which was the key factor of the signal pathway of CaMK/MAPK and the intersection CREB1 mRNA expression,the relationship between CaMK Ⅱ/RSK protein expression and the CREB1 mRNA expression were analyzed with relation analysis method.Results ① Bidirectional correlation analysis:the respective coefficient (r value) of CaMK Ⅱ protein expression and the CREB1mRNA expression in hippocampus of the model group,Chinese medicine treatment group and western medicine treatnent group were-0.502 (P < 0.01),-0.643 (P < 0.01),-0.408 (P< 0.05) ;the respective coefficient(r value) of RSK protein expression and the CREB1 mRNA expression in hippocampus of the model group,Chinese medicine treatment group and western medicine treatment group were 0.550 (P < 0.01),0.687 (P < 0.0 l),0.407 (P < 0.01).②Regression analysis:the respective regression coefficient of CaMK Ⅱ protein (positive direction),RSK protein (negative direction) and CREB1 mRNA expression in the model group,Chinese nedicine treatment group and western medicine treatment group were R 2 =0.472,F =12.983(P<0.01),R2=0.666,F=28.961(P<0.01),R2=0.356,F=8.004(P<0.01).Conclusion The anti-depressant effect mechanism of Jiawei Wendan decoction is to regulate the whole function of the CaMK and MAPK signal pathway and then further up-regulate CREB1 mRNA expression.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) caused gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly.Methods We performed a retrospective analysis ofNSAIDs caused gastrointestinal bleeding with 308 cases admitted to Department of Gastroenterology,The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University.Patients were divided into elderly group(≥65 years,n =208) and young group (< 60 years,n =100) to make a comparative analysis of two group differences in clinical characteristics.Results The NSAIDs in the elderly taking were mainly Aspirin (55.8 % (116/208)),which was significantly more frequent than that of young group (37.0% (37/100),x2 =9.517,P < 0.05).There was no significant difference on the blood routine and coagulation between the two groups (P > 0.05).The recent bleeding rate of the elderly group (21.2% (44/208)) was lower than the young group (63.0% (63/100))(x2 =52.161,P <0.05).The two groups had no significant difference on the history of uleer and Hp infection (P > 0.05).Conclusion The clinical characteristics of NSAIDs caused gastrointestinal bleeding on the elderly were different with young or middle-aged.This infers that elderly patients need individualized treatment.

Objective To investigate the adaptive immune responses in elderly patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease during acute exacerbations (ECOPD) and effects of the immunostimulating agent Pidotimod in ECOPD patients. Methods A randomized, prospective clinical trial was held, and 103 patients with ECOPD were recruited into the study. Seventy-five patients aged 65 years and over were divided into two groups: 38 patients with general treatment as a control group and 37 patients with general treatment plus pidotimod as an experimental group. Another non-elderly groups comprised 28 patients younger than 65, and 20 healthy individuals served as the healthy elderly control. Levels of CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+ /CD8+ in peripheral blood were measured by flow cytometry at baseline (the 1st day) and at the 15th and 30th treatment day, meanwhile, the clinical conditions were evaluated. Results Ninety-one patients completed the trial (32 in experimental group,34 in control group and 25 in non-eldely group). The experimental group and control group were statistically homogeneous. The aged COPD intervention group and aged COPD control had a more decreased CD4+ level, CD4+/CD8+ ratio and more increased CD8+ level, while compared with aged health control and non-elderly COPD control (all P

0.05).Conclusions The patients with sepsis lasting more than 7 days had high mortality (50%). While percentage of CD14 and CD14MFI of peripheral blood are increased,the total scores of SOFA and numbers of MOF are decreased.The improvement of monocytes function indicates good prognosis. The changes of expression of ICAM-1,serum TNF-? and IL-10 can not reflect prognosis in septic patients.

Objective: To detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with gastric cancer and evaluate the relationship among CTCs, clinico-pathological characteristics, and prognosis of gastric cancer. Methods: Peripheral blood samples (10 mL in EDTA) were obtained from 45 patients with gastric cancer. CTCs were detected using density-gradient centrifugation and immunofluo-rescence staining. The clinical significance of the two methods were also compared and investigated. Results:CTC-positive case was defined by the presence of at least one CK19 (+)-CTC per 10 mL of the sample. CTCs were found in 27 of the 45 patients with gastric cancer. The presence of CTCs was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and recurrence (P=0.007, 0.035, 0.035, respectively). However, CTCs were not significantly correlated with sex, age, tumor location, TNM staging, and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). Conclusion:CTCs were associated with poor prognosis of gastric cancer.
