Objective To observe the effect of JIN’s three needle therapy plus mirror therapy for knee joint movement on lower-limb function of patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction.Method Seventy-four patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 37 cases in each group. The treatment group was intervened by JIN’s three needle therapy plus mirror therapy for knee joint movement, while the control group was by mirror therapy for knee joint movement alone. After 4-week treatment, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) were adopted for evaluating motor function of the affected limb and the activities of daily living (ADL), the Functional Ambulation Category scale (FAC) for assessing the walking ability, and the Twichell-Brunnstrom Stages of Stroke Recovery for determining the stage of post-stroke hemiplegia. Result After the intervention, the FMA and MBI scores were significantly changed in both groups (P<0.05). The changes of FMA and MBI scores in the treatment group after the treatment were significantly different from those in the control group (P<0.05). After the treatment, there were significant between-group differences in comparing the FAC and Brunnstrom grading results (P<0.05).Conclusion JIN’s three needle therapy plus mirror therapy for knee joint movement is an effective approach in treating hemiplegia after cerebral infarction, and it can improve the lower-limb motor function and the ADL.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify the genetic characteristics in patients with nonsydromic hearing loss (NSHL) in Hunan province, to determine the prevalence and spectrum of mutations in GJB2 gene, and to explore the pathogenic mechanism.
METHODS:
A total of 140 sporadic patients with NSHL were enrolled after clinical examination. Molecular studies were performed by amplifing the coding region of GJB2 gene, purifying the PCR products, and sequencing directly. Sequences were analysed by DNAStar software to determine GJB2 mutations in the patients. Special method was designed to confirm the unreported mutation.
RESULTS:
We detected GJB2 mutation in 56 out of the 140 patients (40%, 56/140). Both of the 2 alleles were mutated in 29 patients and 1 allele in the other 27 patients, and the rate of allele mutation was 30.4%(85/280). Ten variations were detected, including 7 mutations and 3 polymorphisms. The deaf-causing mutations were nonsense mutation c.139G>T; frameshift mutation c.235delC and c.176-191del16; and missense mutation c.109G>A, c.344T>G, c.550C>T and c.571T>C. The unreported missense mutation was c.344T>G. The c.235delC mutation was the most prevalent mutation found in the 27 patients (19.3%, 27/140). The frequency of c.109G>A mutation was next to c.235delC found in 25 patients (17.9%, 25/140).
CONCLUSION
GJB2 mutation is a major cause for NSHL. The most common-spot in Chinese patients with NSHL is c.235delC. The unreported missense mutation is c.344T>G.

OBJECTIVE:
To study the correlation of CD44 with epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT) and metastasis in nasopharyngeal cancer cells, and explore the possible mechanism of CD44 regulates EMT and metastasis in nasopharyngeal cancer cells.
METHOD:
The CD44 and EMT-associated proteins in 5-8F and 6-10B nasopharyngeal cancer cell lines were assayed by Western blotting. The erasion trace test was performed to observe the migratory ability of 5-8F and 6-10B nasopharyngeal cancer cells. Using lipid-mediated DNA transfection technique, the low metastatic nasopharyngeal cancer cells 6-10B were transfected in vitro with plasmid which contained CD44 gene, and then new nasopharyngeal cancer cells were obtained. The CD44 and EMT-associated proteins in 6-10B, empty vector transfected and CD44-transfected cells were assayed by Western blotting. The erasion trace test was performed to observe the alteration of migratory ability of nasopharyngeal cancer cells before and after CD44 transfection.
RESULT:
The expression of CD44 and EMT-associated protein MMP-9 in 5-8F was higher than that in 6-10B, but EMT-associated protein E-Cadherin in 5-8F was lower than that in 6-10B. The migratory ability of 5-8F was higher than that of 6-10B. The expression of CD44 and MMP-9 were significantly higher in the CD44-transfected nasopharyngeal cancer cells than in the control groups. Compared with control groups, the migratory ability of CD44-transfected nasopharyngeal cancer cells was significantly increased.
CONCLUSION
CD44 positively regulates the metastatic ability of nasopharyngeal cancer cells, which is relevant to the process of EMT.

Objective To explore the correlation between the immune related adverse (irAEs) reactions in patients treated with pembrolizumab and traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution. Methods A total of 110 patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer for the first time were selected. When receiving pembrolizumab immunotherapy for the first time, a general information questionnaire, a TCM constitution classification and judgment scale, an immune related adverse reaction follow-up record book, and a patient's self-perception diary were used to investigate and analyze the TCM syndrome and adverse reactions of the patients. Results Among non-small cell lung cancer patients, there were more than four TCM constitutions, with 48 cases (43.64%) having a calm constitution, 20 cases (18.18%) having a biased constitution, 30 cases (27.27%) having a yang deficiency constitution, and 12 cases (10.91%) having a yin deficiency constitution. Qi deficiency and Yang deficiency were more prone to fatigue, while Yang deficiency was more prone to rash; Qi deficiency and Yin deficiency were more prone to itching; Yang deficiency was more prone to diarrhea; Non-small cell lung cancer patients with mild constitution were less prone to immune related adverse reactions. Conclusion TCM constitution is related to irAEs, which could predict the occurrence of immune related adverse reactions from the perspective of TCM constitution and intervene in adverse reactions early.

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic factors and the value of definitive pelvic radiotherapy in patients with stage Ⅳ B hematogenous metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods:Clinical data of 80 patients with Ⅳ B stage squamous cell carcinoma admitted to Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from 2006 to 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The survival analysis was conducted by Kaplan- Meier method. Prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox models. Results:The 1-, 2-and 5-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were 52.5%, 26.3%, 16.8% and 25%, 13.8%, 8.8%, with a median OS of 13.8 months and a median PFS of 5.6 months, respectively. The most common site of metastasis was bone (51.3%), followed by lung (36.3%) and liver (26.3%). Univariate analysis revealed that chemotherapy combined with definitive pelvic radiotherapy and ≥6 cycles of chemotherapy were positively correlated with OS and PFS, whereas ECOG performance status score of 3-4 and liver metastasis were negatively correlated with OS and PFS. In multivariate analysis, liver metastasis ( HR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.01-4.91, P=0.048) and ECOG performance status score of 3-4( HR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.03-3.91, P=0 0.040) were significantly correlated with poor OS. Subgroup multivariate analysis showed that compared with chemotherapy±palliative radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy combined with definitive pelvic radiotherapy significantly improved OS ( HR=0.39, 95% CI: 0.18-0.84, P=0.016). Compared with double drugs combined with<4 cycles of chemotherapy, double drugs in combination with ≥4 cycles of chemotherapy significantly improved OS ( HR=0.32, 95% CI: 0.15-0.68, P=0.003). Conclusions:Patients with low ECOG performance status score or liver metastasis obtain poor prognosis. Definitive pelvic radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy can enhance clinical prognosis of patients with Ⅳ B stage hematogenous metastatic cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
