Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of EGFR in inducing vasculogenic mimicry (VM)formation.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of EGFR protein and CD34-PAS double staining was used to detect the VM in gliomas paraffin blocks.The migration and VM formation of U87 cell in hypoxic and normoxic groups were detected by transwell and three-dimensional culture.Then we used Western blot to detect the expressions of EGFR,AKT and PI3K protein.Results The positive rate of EGFR expression in VM positive patients was 94.4%,which was significantly higher than that in VM negative patients (71.8%).In hypoxic group,the abilities of migration and VM formation were significantly higher those in normoxic group.The expressions of EGFR,AKT and PI3K were higher in hypoxic group.Conclusion VM formation can be induced by the activation of EGFR/AKT/PI3K signaling pathway.EGFR is very important for VM formation.

Four bacterial and 8 fungal isolates were incubated in media for 6 days. It was found that organic acid content in the media increased largely, but pH decreased sharply. Phosphorus content in the media enhanced dramatically as well. The fungal isolates showed stronger ability to dissolve phosphate rock than the bacterial ones. These isolates excreted not only quite distinct volume of organic acids but diverse organic acid chemicals. The fungi produced more kinds of organic acids than the bacteria. However, there was no significant relationship between the total quantity of organic acids and P content in the media.

Three bacteria of decomposing lecithin and 4 bacteria of dissolving aptite were incubated for 4 weeks with sand media respectively. Phosphorus in the sand was extracted with distilled water and measured by different methods. It was found that the bacteria have a quite different ability to release P from the materials. Part of the P released became organic phosphorus compounds in microbial tissue. However, a large amount of the P was reserved in microbial cells in a form of phosphates. The direct measurement of P in the extract by molybdenum blue method would underestimate the capacity of the bacteria to release P from the materials. The correct approach was that the sand was fumigated with chloroform and then digested with acid before the measurement by molybdenum blue method.

Objective To study the biological function of Topical Oxygen Therapy(TOT) and Infrared Light-Emitting Diode(LED) therapy and mechanism of combination of both therapy in wound healing.To develop a device combined with TOT and LED therapy.Methods Wound models were made using rabbits which were grouped in four groups such as control group,TOT group,LED group and combined group by random.Except control group,the other groups were carried on TOT,LED and TOT+LED therapy respectively.Wound healing situations were observed.Results TOT+LED therapy could cut the wound healing time whose mechanism was to form composition force in the processing of wound healing by prompting inside growth factors and outside factors.Conclusion The therapy combined with TOT and LED can facilitate the wound healing.The theory of the wound healing device is feasible according to the results of the experiments.

Objective:To observe the effect of thoracic infusion of pseudomonas aeruginosa injection in malignant pleural effusion. Methods:A total of 90 patients with malignant pleural effusion were randomly divided into treatment group (31 cases),control group A (29 cases) and control group B(30 cases). Treatment group was treated with pseudomonas aeruginosa through intrathoracic infusion. Control group A and B were respectively treated with cisplatin and interleukin-2 through intrathoracic infusion. The clinical efficacy and adverse reaction were compared among the three groups. Results:The total effective rate of treatment group was 80.6%,the total effective rates of the control group A and B were 51.7%and 56.7%respectively.Compared with that of contral groups, the total effective rate of treatment group was higher, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The incidence of serious side effects and toxicity was lower in treatment group than in control groups. Conclusion:The effect of thoracic infusion of pseudomonas aeruginosa injection for malignant pleural effusion is significant, and the adverse reaction is mild. Thus it is worth to be promoted clinically.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of oral ginger capsule or ginger powder in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients.Methods:Computers searched Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), China Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Wanfang Database, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library about oral chemotherapy in patients with cancer ginger correlation clinical curative effect of nausea and vomiting randomized controlled trial, supplemented by other search methods, the time range was built until July 2019. Quality evaluation and data extraction were performed independently by two investigators, and Meta analysis was performed by RevMan5.3 software.Results:A total of 12 articles and 13 studies were included, with a total of 1 105 patients. Meta-analysis showed that oral ginger capsule or ginger powder reduced the incidence of acute vomiting (risk ratio value was 0.76, 95% confidence interval was 0.59-0.98, P<0.05) and the severity of vomiting (mean difference value was-0.79, 95% confidence interval was-1.36--0.23, P<0.01), including the severity of acute vomiting (mean difference value was-1.39, 95% confidence interval was-2.72--0.06, P<0.05) and the severity of delayed vomiting (mean difference value was-0.46, 95% confidence interval was-0.82--0.10, P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence and severity of acute and delayed nausea ( P>0.05). Conclusions:This study demonstrates that oral ginger capsule or ginger powder is a complementary treatment for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients, and more high-quality studies are needed to validate its clinical efficacy in the future.
