China Oncology 2006;0(11):-
With the emergence of new concepts, methods and techniques in modern medicine, the basic research and clinical treatment for gynecological oncology has rapidly developed in the past couple of years. Evidence-based medicine, individualized therapy and microinvasive therapy give us more opportunities to treat the patient. Nowadays, it is possible for the clinic to implement new approaches to improve the outcome and the quality of life for the patients with minimal side effects at the same time. There has been a lot of reports from in vitro studies suggesting that gonadotrophin may play an important role in tumorigenesis, estrogen may promote tumor cell proliferation through PAX2 gene. Survivin, a protein serving as an apoptosis inhibitor, may be crucial for the regulation of tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of MOTOmed movement therapy on balance and ability in the activities of daily living (ADL) of convalescing stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods Forty convalescent stroke patients exhibiting hemiplegia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group with 20 cases in each group. The control group received routine rehabilitation training; the treatment group received MOTOmed training in addition. Balance function of all the patients was assessed using Berg's balance scale (BBS) , and the Barthel Index ( BI) was used to assess ADL ability at the beginning of the program and after 6 weeks of treatment. Results Balance and ADL ability improved significantly in both groups after 6 weeks of treatment. The effect in the treatment group was significantly better than in the control group. Balance and ADL ability were positively correlated. Conclusions Applying MOTOmed therapy along with routine rehabilitation training can distinctly improve balance and the ADL ability of hemiplegics after stroke.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of resveratrol on in vitro growth and biofilm formation of hypermucinous Klebsiella pneumoniae(HMKP), so as to provide a preliminary theoretical basis for the development of new antimicrobial drugs. Methods Clinical isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae, non-repetitive, collected from March to October 2023, were identified for species and sensitivity to common antimicrobials using the VITEK-2 compact automatic microbial identification system. The mucous characteristics of the strains were assessed via a string test, and the broth microdilution method determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of resveratrol. The effects of different concentrations of resveratrol on the growth of hypermucinous Klebsiella pneumoniae were observed by the bacterial growth curve method, and the effects of different concentrations of resveratrol on HMKP biofilm were determined by the crystal violet staining method. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression levels of virulence-related genes (aerobactin, rmpA, and mrkD) in HMKP. Data plotting and analysis were performed using GraphPad Prism 9.0. Results A total of 122 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected, with 29 strains testing positive in the string test (HMKP). Among these, 26 strains were allergic to commonly antimicrobial drugs, such as cephalosporins and their enzyme inhibitors, quinolones, and aminoglycosides, while 3 strains were identified as carbapenem-resistant hypermucinous Klebsiella pneumoniae (HM-CRKP). The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of resveratrol for all HMKP strains exceeded 512 μg/mL. Resveratrol concentrations of 256 μg/mL and 128 μg/mL significantly reduced the growth capacity and biofilm formation capacity of HMKP (P<0.05) and decreased the expression levels of virulence-related genes rmpA and mrkD. Conclusions Resveratrol can inhibit the growth and biofilm formation of HMKP. The mechanism may be related to the downregulation of virulence-related genes expression, specifically rmpA and mrkD.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological changes of the diffuse-type giant cell tumor of the bone and joint. Methods 42 cases of the diffuse-type giant cell tumor of the bone and joint were studied and the follow-up data were reviewed. Results The male patients were 19 and the female were 23, with the male to female ratio of 1 ∶ 1. 2. The age of the patients was 8~69 years (the average age was 37. 6). It was displayed that the patients presented local pain and swelling (34 cases), including dysfunction (18 ca-ses) of the bone and joint. Clinically, the lesions located on the knee joint ( 71. 4%) in 30 cases, the hip and ankle in 9 cases (21. 4%), and the wrist elbow in 3 cases (7. 1%). 27 cases were examined by MRI. Among them, the diffuse-type giant cell tumor was diagnosed in 9 cases (33. 3%). The effusive lesions of the joint presented in 5 cases, the non-specific synovial lesions and others in 3 cases. The obviously diffuse hyperplasia of synovial cells with nodular growth pattern was found. However, a high proliferative in-dex of the tumor cells and the rich-cell tumor were found. But there was no tumor necrosis. Histopathologically, the tumor cells of dif-fuse-type giant cell tumor contained marked brown pigments, multinucleated giant cells formation and a lot of lymphocytes proliferation or follicular reaction in 17 cases (40. 5%) with invasive growth and involvement of the joint and surrounding tissue. 6 cases recurred (20%) , including 2 cases with 2 times. Conclusions The diffuse type-giant cell tumors most commonly involve the knee, followed by the hip and ankle. Preoperative examination of MRI can be help for the diagnosis of the tumor. Histopathologically, diffuse-type gi-ant cell tumor with synovial cells rich-hyperplasia and the villous structures formation more likely recur. The main biological character-istics of diffuse-type giant cell tumor are invasive growth pattern, usually into the soft tissue around the joints.

Objective To verify the dynamic changes of ANP during the diastolic heart failure and the protective effect of amlodipine. Methods Male SD rats underwent the abdominal aorta ligation. Four weeks after Surgery, 40 rats were divided into 4 groups: hypertension model group (group B), low-dose group (group C), mid-dose group (group D), high-dose group (group E). Another 10 healthy male SD rats were used as sham group (group A). During the experiment, different drugs were gavaged to different groups and the normal saline was used for control group. Results After 12 weeks, ANP levels increased in group B much more than in group A, while lower in group C(P < 0.05); LVSP and dp/dt max decreased in group B significantly than in group A, while higher in group C than in group B (P < 0.05); LVEDP and -dp/dt max had no statistically significant (P >0.05); HW/BW and LW/BW decreased in group B than in group A, while higher in group C than in group B (P < 0.05); The extent of myocardial necrosis and fibrosis in group C were much lower than in group B. But there was no Significant differences (P > 0.05). Conclusion ANP level gradually increased accompanying with the aggravation of heart failure, which is related with the dose of the drug within limits. Amlodipine can inhibit cardiomyocyte remodeling by interfering ANP secretion.
