1.Effect of Removing Carotid Stenosis on Cognitive Function
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2008;16(9):700-702
The effect of removing carotid stenosis on cognitive function is receiving considerable attention.Both carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting improve cognitive function.The improvement of cognitive function after the removing carotid stenosis may be associated with the increased cerebral perfusion,the reduction of white matter lesion and the incidence of silent lacunar infarction.

The use of high flow nasal cannula(HFNC) therapy as a noninvasive respiratory support approach for preterm infants is rapidly increasing.HFNC is an alternative to nasal continuous positive airway pressure(nCPAP) for treating apnea of prematurity,primary respiratory support for neonates with respiratory distress,post-extubation support,facilitating nCPAP weaning in preterm infants.In this article,the proposed mechanisms of HFNC and the evidence from clinical trials of HFNC use in preterm infants were reviewed,and recommendations for evidence-based practice were established.

Objective To explore the current status of physical exercises of patients with primary hypertension and provide basis for selective nursing intervention. Methods Investigation was carried out in 238 patients patients with primary hypertension in a third-grade and first-class hospital in Guangzhou on their physical exercises using the theory of "periodic behavior changing model". The results were ana|yzed. Results Patients who didn't plan to take physical exercises account for 19.3%,who planned to take it was 15.1%,who prepared to take it was 20.2%,who were taking it was 8.8% and who were maintaining it was 36.6%.The age and duration of illness course significantly influence the distribution of taking exercises in different stages, P<0.05.While gender and education background were not important influencing factors. Conclusion We should pay attention to increase the recognition of patients with primary hypertension to take physical exercises autonomously,especially the young and middle-aged patients.

Objective To evaluate the optimized simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) plans in cervical esophageal carcinoma underwent prophylactic lymphatic irradiation.MethodsSix patients with cervical esophageal carcinoma were studied.The gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical target volume (CTV) (including bilateral mid-lower neck and supraclavicular lymph drainage regions,upper mediastinal lymph drainage regions) were delineated on sim-CT images,GTV and CTV were uniformly expanded by 5 mm to create PGTV and PTV.Five fields(5F) ,7F and 9F SIB-IMRT plans were designed.The prescribed doses to PGTV and PTV were 66 Gy and 60 Gy in 30 fractions respectively.The parameters of dose-volume histograms in three groups planning were compared.Results The values of conformity index(CI) of PGTV were 0.56,0.62 and 0.69 (F =6.22,P <0.01 ),the V66 with 88.24% ,95.03% and 94.91% ( F = 4.39,P < 0.05 ) and D95 with 6539.67,6601.83 and 6602.00 cGy (F=4.46,P <0.05) in 5F,7F and 9F SIB-IMRT plans.The values of CI,V66 and D95 of PTV were 0.80,0.85 and 0.87 (F=11.29,P<0.01),with 91.64%,94.05% and 95.06% (F=4.10,P<0.05) and with 5934.00,5987.17 and 6006.33 cGy (F =4.01,P <0.05).The values of maximal dose of spinal cord were 4707.17,4497.83 and 4357.00 cGy( F = 11.26 ,P <0.011 ) in 5F ,7F and 9F SIB-IMRT plans.The values of all dosimetic parameters about PGTV and PTV were same in 7F and 9F SIB-IMRT plans ( all P > 0.05 ).Conclusion 7F-SIB-IMRT plan is best one scheme for cervical esophageal carcinoma underwent prophylactic lymphatic irradiation.

Aim To assay the possible targets of adriamycin (ADM), screening ADM resistance related proteins.Methods The drug sensitivity of the cells was analyzed by IC50 assay;RT-PCR assay was used to detect the expression of genes in the cells;CMPK1 protein expression was tested by Western blot assay;the expression of CMPK1 in the cells was decreased by siRNA of CMPK1.Results Data from IC50 assay showed the sensitivity of cells transfected with CMPK1 was increased most(IC50 HEK293-CMPK /IC50 HEK293-Control=0.15, P<0.01), and the expression of CMPK1 protein in ADM resistant breast cells (MCF7/ADM) was lower than that in parent MCF7 cells (P<0.05).When the expression level of CMPK1 was decreased by CMPK1 siRNA, the sensitivity of MCF7 cells to ADM decreased (IC50 MCF7-siCMPK1/IC50MCF7-Control=3.6, P< 0.01), and the sensitivity of MCF7 cells to paclitaxel and gemcitabine also decreased.Conclusions CMPK1 was related to the multidrug resistance of cells, and the expression of CMPK1 was positively related to the sensitivity to drugs, which provides the possibility of CMPK1 as a target in the treatment of multidrug resistance.
