Objective To evaluate the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapeutic drugs on human gastric cancer cells. Methods From April 2006 to February 2007, 84 patients with gastric cancer underwent surgical resection at General Hospital of Jinan Military Command. The single-cell suspension of these gastric tumors was prepared. The gastric cancer cells were cultured with hydroxycamptothecin, cisplatin, adriamycin, 5-fluorouracil and mitomycin for 48 hours, and changes in activity of the gastric cancer cells were studied via MTT assay. The expression of survivin and PTEN was detected by immunohistochemistry. Data were analyzed by chi-square test, rank sum test and Fisher exact test. Results The anti-tumor effects of different chemotherapeutic drugs were different, and the poorly-differentiated gastric cancer cells were more sensitive to the cytotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic drugs than the well-differentiated gastric cancer cells. The expression levels of survivin in the signet ring cell carcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma and other poorly-differentiated adenocarcinoma were significantly higher than those in papillary carcinoma and tubular carcinoma (χ~2 = 10.625, P <0.05), while the expression of PTEN was inverse to that of survivin (χ~2 = 6.060, P < 0.05). The expression of survivin was related to the resistance of the gastric cancer cells to 5-fluorouracil and adriamycin (χ~2 = 6.609, 6.350, P < 0.05). Conclusions In vitro chemosensitivity assay is helpful in selecting the chemotherapeutic regimen for specific types of gastric cancer. Survivin may contribute to the chemotherapy-resistance of certain types of gastric cancer cells, and its expression is related to that of PTEN.

Objective: To find out existed problems in government health investment process, it needs to increase efficiency rate of government health investment’s special fund. Methods: Through making statistics on the efficiency rate of central special funds in Shanxi government health investment, and analysis on the appropriate process of financial department of all levels. Results: Central government special funds distribution interval is too long, efficiency rate is low. Conclusion: It needs to accelerate special fund distribution and to carry out financial management model from province to county and enhance financial supervision.

Objective To investigate the expression of UHRF1 protein in breast cancer and adjacent normal tissues, and its relationship with local recurrence. Methods Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was applied to detect the expression of UHRF1 protein in 69 specimens of breast cancer and 33 specimens of corresponding adjacent normal tissues; Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between UHRF1 protein expression and clinical factors. Results The positive rate expression of UHRF1 protein in breast cancer was 55.1 % (38/69), and UHRF1 protein expression was not found in adjacent normal tissues. The positive expression rate of UHRF1 protein in stage III was higher than that in stageⅠ-Ⅱ[68.4%(26/38) vs. 38.7 % (12/31), P< 0.05]. The positive expression rate of cancer tissue in breast cancer patients with chest wall recurrence after radiotherapy within 1 year was higher than that in patients without recurrence [83.3 %(10/12) vs. 49.1 % (28/57), P< 0.05], and UHRF1 protein expression of patients in different age and Herb-2 had no statistical significance (P> 0.05). Conclusions The positive expression rate of UHRF1 protein is obviously higher than that in adjacent normal tissue. Besides, UHRF1 protein is related to the stage and chest wall of local recurrence after radiotherapy.

Objective:To explore the application value of humidifying high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy (HHFNC) in children with pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after weaning.Methods:From January 2018 to October 2021, 42 children with endotracheal intubation admitted to PICU of Tai′an city Central Hospital were prospectively selected and randomly divided into HHFNC group and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) group, with 21 patients in each group. The blood gas analysis [arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide in artery (PaCO 2), PaO 2/oxygen concentration (FiO 2)], blood oxygen saturation (SaO 2), comfort, non-invasive ventilation time, and total hospital stay of the two groups of children 1 hour after using HHFNC and NCPAP were compared, and the rate of reintubation of trachea within 48 hours, gastroesophageal reflux, nasal injury, facial skin indentation, abdominal distension, and pulmonary air leakage were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of blood gas analysis (PaO 2, PaCO 2, PaO 2/FiO 2), SaO 2, pulmonary air leakage, non-invasive ventilation time, hospital stay, and reintubation rate within 48 h after weaning (all P>0.05). Compared with NCPAP group, HHFNC group had higher comfort, lower incidence of facial skin indentation, gastroesophageal reflux, nasal injury and abdominal distension, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:HHFNC and NCPAP can both be used as the transitional respiratory support mode after weaning, and the clinical treatment effect are similar. The HHFNC group has higher comfort, which is more conducive to improving the tolerance of children, reducing adverse reactions, and has higher safety.
