Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy 2019;16(7):400-404
Objective To: explore the efficacy and safety of interventional therapy for acute central pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Methods: Data of 72 patients with acute central PTE were retrospective analyzed. Interventional therapy of PTE were performed in all patients, then "one-stop" interventional therapy of deep venous thrombi of lower extremity were also performed in 65 patients. Complications during and after therapies were observed. Pulmonary artery pressure and D-dimer level were measured after interventional therapy and compared with those before treatment. The therapeutic effect was evaluated during follow-up. Results: No serious complication occurred. Heart rate arrhythmia and blood pressure rise during operation happened in 7 patients, blood leakage around thrombolytic catheter and subcutaneous ecchymosis at puncture point after operation were observed in 9 and 5 patients, respectively, all relieved after symptomatic treatment. Pulmonary artery pressure decreased significantly after interventional thrombectomy combined with catheter thrombolysis ([30.11±14.50]mmHg vs [40.22±17.58]mmHg, t=3.77, P<0.01), and D-dimer level also decreased significantly ([623.32±267.41]ng/ml vs [3 634.38±1 567.61]ng/ml, t=12.56, P<0.01) compared with those before treatment. The mean follow-up time was (15.92±5.22) months, and the total effective rate of interventional therapy of PTE was 97.22% (70/72). Complete thrombosis clearance or clearance rate of lower extremity higher than or equal to 95% (grade III) were observed in 61 patients (61/65, 93.85%) combined with PTE and deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities, while the rest 4 patients (4/65, 6.15%) had thrombosis clearance rate higher than or equal to 50% but lower than 95% (grade Ⅱ). Conclusion: Interventional therapy is safe and effective in treatment of acute central PTE, especially for patients with lower extremity deep venous thrombosis.

Objective:
To understand relationship between health literacy and health seeking behavior of undergraduate students in Shandong Province.
Methods:
A total of 1 460 undergraduate students from three universities in Shandong Province were selected through stratified random sampling method and received a questionnaire survey. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA, Chi-square test and regression analysis.
Results:
The proportion of students with basic health literacy was 64.4% (41.37±10.34). The proportion of students with basic knowledge and concept, healthy lifestyle and behavior, and basic skills was 49.6% (16.28±4.58), 70.3% (17.24±4.99) and 83.7% (7.85±1.58), respectively. About 28.1% of undergraduate students reported delay in seeking medical treatment, 71.9% reported prompt in seeking medical treatment, and 24.2% preferred to seek medical treatment in primary medical institutions, 45.5% secondary hospital and 30.3% tertiary hospital. Grade, major, the ability to gather and understand health information was the main factors affecting health literacy. Major and health information screening ability was the main factors affecting health seeking behavior. Grade, major, origin, the awareness and gathering of health information was the main factors affecting the choose of medical institutions(P<0.05). Basic knowledge and concept, basic skills and health literacy was positively correlated with the timing of health seeking behavior, while basic knowledge and concept, healthy lifestyle and behavior, and basic skills might give information on students’ preference on selecting a medical institution.
Conclusion
Attention should be paid to the cultivation of health information literacy. An integrated health education and health promotion model of "family-community-hospital-university" should be established.

Objective To investigate the preventive therapeutic effect and possible mechanism of single chain variable fragments chimeric protein (SD) of ovalbumin epitopes internalizing receptor DEC-205 antibody on food allergy in mice. Methods Mice were randomly divided to five groups (control, PBS, scFv DEC 100 μg, SD 50 μg, SD 100 μg) and treated for 24 hours before OVA administration. After challenge, the serum level of OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, IgG2a and IL-4 were detected by ELISA. Infiltration of eosinophils and mast cells in the jejunum was observed by HE staining and toluidine blue staining respectively. The bone marrow of tibia and femur was isolated and cultured to obtain immature dendritic cells(BMDCs), which were further treated with LPS (10 ng/mL), TSLP (50 ng/mL), scFv DEC protein (1000 ng/mL) and SD protein (10,100,1000)ng/mL for 24 hours, and the IL-10 level of supernatant was assayed by ELISA. Results Compared with PBS group, the number of SD-treated mice with diarrhea was markedly reduced. The difference in rectal temperature and the levels of serum OVA-specific IgE, IgG1, IgG2a and IL-4 decreased significantly after prophylactic administration of SD; The number of eosinophils and mast cells in jejunum also decreased significantly while the IL-10 level in the supernatant of BMDCs increased significantly after SD intervention. Conclusion SD mitigates experimental FA response by fosters the immune tolerance property of dendritic cells.

Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2019;32(7):760-764
As the P2X receptor family has become a research hotspot in recent years, the study on P2X7 receptor has also received extensive attention. P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is a dual-transmembrane cation-channel receptor, which is gated in vivo by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and can be activated. Activated P2X7 receptor can produce such effects as cationic channel opening, signal pathway activation, inflammatory mediator release and cell apoptosis. It plays an important role in the development of various tumors and inflammatory diseases. Studies have shown that the abnormal expression of P2X7 receptor affects the occurrence and development of breast cancer by activating a series of signaling pathways, which is expected to become a new target for designing anti-breast cancer drugs. Other studies have shown that multiple microRNAs can promote the occurrence and development of breast cancer by regulating the expression of P2X7 receptor gene. In this review, we reviewed the recent research advances of P2X7 receptor and the relationship between breast cancer and its abnormal expression.

Purpose To oberve the dynamics of liver granuloma and the relative changes of Thl/Th2cytokine levels in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum, and investigate the role of Th1/Th2 in S.japontcum granuloma formation and regulation. Methods Liver granuloma measurement were performedby histological examination and the ELISA were used for the quantitative determination of IL-2, IFNr andIL-4 in murine serum and spleen lymphocyte culture medium at 0,4,6,8,10 and 12 wk after infection.Results At 6 wk liver granuloma formation appeared and at 8 wk liver granuloma peaked. After 12 wk livergranuhoma diminished obviously. Meanwhile, at 4 - 6 wk IL-2, IFNr and IL-4 began to rise, at 8 wk thelevels of Th1 cytokines IL-2 and IFNγ peaked and then declined, and at 8 wk the levels of Th2 cytokines IL-4 were rapidly enhanced and increased obviously with a prolongation of the infection duration.Conclusions The Th1cytokines IL-2 and IFNγ were correlated well with S. japonicum granulomaformation and vigour, and the Th2 cytokines IL-4 might play an important role in down-regulating egggranuloma reaction at chronic schistosomiasis by inhibiting the Th1cytokines.
