45 Cases of chronic bronchitis in the protracted course characte riz ed by the TCM syndrome of deficiency of both the lung and kidney and obstruction of the lung by phlegm, were randomly divided into the treating group and the co ntrol group. The former (consisting of 30 cases) was given Gubenzhike Capsules ( GCS) which possess the effects of tonifying the lung and benefiting the kidney, strengthening the spleen and dissolving phlegm; and the latter (consisting of 15 cases) was given Gubenkechuan Tablets (CTS) which possess the effects of nouris hing qi, consolidating the exterior of the body, strengthening the spleen and to nifying the kidney. It was found that the effective rate of GCS in treating coug h, expectoration, asthma, and wheeze was obviously higher than that of CTS, and the clinical tests showed that GCS could fairly improve pulmonary function, regu late immune function, etc. The results of study suggest that GCS have relatively good effects for treating patients with chronic bronchitis in the protracted co urse characterized by the TCM syndrome of deficiency of both the lung and kidney and obstruction of the lung by phlegm.

Antibody-drug conjugates(ADCs)are a new type of targeting antibodies that conjugate with highly toxic anticancer drugs via chemical linkers to exert high specificity and efficient killing of tumor cells,thereby attracting considerable attention in precise oncology therapy.Cetuximab(Cet)is a typical antibody that offers the benefits of good targeting and safety for individuals with advanced and inoperable cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(cSCC);however,its anti-tumor activity is limited to a single use.Cisplatin(CisPt)shows good curative effects;however,its adverse effects and non-tumor-targeting ability are major drawbacks.In this study,we designed and developed a new ADC based on a new cytotoxic platinum(Ⅳ)prodrug(C8Pt(Ⅳ))and Cet.The so-called antibody-platinum(Ⅳ)prodrugs conjugates,named Cet-C8Pt(Ⅳ),showed excellent tumor targeting in cSCC.Specifically,it accurately delivered C8Pt(Ⅳ)into tumor cells to exert the combined anti-tumor effect of Cet and CisPt.Herein,metabolomic analysis showed that Cet-C8Pt(Ⅳ)promoted cellular apoptosis and increased DNA damage in cSCC cells by affecting the vitamin B6 metabolic pathway in tumor cells,thereby further enhancing the tumor-killing ability and providing a new strategy for clinical cancer treatment using antibody-platinum(Ⅳ)prodrugs conjugates.

Objective To investigate the changes in serum level of microparticles (EMPs) in mice with ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI), and explore its significance in VILI. Methods Forty-eight grade SPF male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into two groups, with 24 mice in each group: the mice in mechanical ventilation (MV) group were given high tidal volume (VT 30 mL/kg) MV for 4 hours after tracheal intubation, and those in spontaneous breathing group were spontaneously breathed for 4 hours. The apical blood of 12 mice in each group were collected, and serum levels of interleukins (IL-1β, IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and serum EMPs levels were determined by flow cytometer. The correlations between EMPs and IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were analyzed by linear regression analysis. The lung tissues of other 12 mice in each group were harvested, and wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio was assessed. After hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, the morphological changes in lung tissue were observed under light microscope. After double staining of uranium acetate and lead citrate, the ultrastructural changes in lung tissue were observed with electron microscope. Results Compared with spontaneous breathing group, the levels of lung W/D ratio in MV group was significantly increased (5.47±0.14 vs. 4.34±0.11), the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and EMPs were also significantly increased [IL-1β (ng/L): 42.4±4.4 vs. 7.7±3.6, IL-6 (ng/L): 1 239.5±66.3 vs. 21.7±4.6, TNF-α (ng/L):237.6±25.8 vs. 37.1±19.1, EMPs (cells/μL): 28.6±1.8 vs. 5.9±1.8, all P < 0.01]. It was shown by correlation analysis that EMPs were positively related with IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α (r value was 0.968, 0.932, 0.945, respectively, all P = 0.000). It was shown by fitting linear regression analysis that when EMPs increased by 1 cell/μL, IL-1β increased by 2.4 ng/L [95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.9-2.8, P < 0.001], IL-6 increased by 34.5 ng/L (95%CI = 25.1-44.0, P < 0.001), and TNF-α increased by 13.6 ng/L (95%CI = 10.3-16.9,P < 0.001). It was shown by light microscope that the structure of lung tissue and alveolar of mice in spontaneous breathing group appeared normal, while the shrinks of alveolar and disappearance of alveolar architecture were found in MV group. It was shown by electron microscopy that alveolar wall edema and thickening and broken alveolar septa were found in MV group, by contrast, the structure of alveolar was normal in spontaneous breathing group. Conclusion 30 mL/kg VT ventilation for 4 hours could induce VILI with increase in EMPs, suggesting EMPs closely related to VILI, and EMPs level may be putative biomarker of VILI.

Objective To compare the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on oxidative stress re-sponses in patients undergoing one-lung ventilation. Methods Eighty American Society of Anesthesiolo-gists physical statusⅠorⅡpatients with lung cancer, aged 42-53 yr, weighing 52-83 kg, scheduled for e-lective pulmonary lobectomy performed via a thoracoscope, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) using a random number table method: group propofol and group sevoflurane. Propofol was intravenously infused at 4-10 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 in group propofol. In group sevoflurane, 1%-3% sevoflurane was inhaled. Forced expiratory volume (FEV), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV in first second (FEV1), FEV∕FVC, and maximal expiratory flow ( MEF) were measured at 24 h after operation. Blood samples were obtained from the median cubital vein for determination of the levels of plasma malondialdehyde ( MDA) , catalase ( CAT) and superoxide dismutase ( SOD) and expression of NOX2 and NOX4 subunits-containing NADPH oxidase, SP-D and CC16 ( by Western blot) . Results Compared with group sevoflurane, FEV, FVC, FEV1, FEV∕FVC and MEF were significantly increased, the activity of plasma SOD and CAT was increased, MDA con-centration was decreased, the expression of NOX2 and NOX4 subunits-containing NADPH oxidase and SP-D was down-regulated, and the expression of CC16 was up-regulated in group propofol (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion Propofol provides better efficacy in protecting lung function of patients undergoing one-lung ventilation when compared with sevoflurane, which is related to inhibiting oxidative stress responses.

Objective:
To describe the current situation of leisure time physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration of children and adolescents aged 6-14 in Beijing, and provide a reference basis for guiding school age children to carry out reasonable physical activities and formulating effective intervention measures.
Methods:
A multistage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to investigate the nutritional and health status of 3 460 students in the first,third,fifth and seventh grades. Through the questionnaire surveys, the basic information of children and families and the activity information of children physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep were collected and statistically analyzed.
Results:
The results showed that the median time of children daily leisure time physical activity (LTPA) was 20.0 (8.6, 38.6) min, children in suburb areas (18.6 min) and seventh grade (14.3 min) had shorter LTPA time( Z/H =5.12,119.11, P <0.01). The average daily sleep duration of children was (8.71 ± 0.76) h, the proportion of school age children with insufficient sleep reached 54.7%. With an increase in grades, the incidence of insufficient sleep increased significantly ( χ 2=407.13, P <0.01). The median daily sedentary time of children was 195.7(145.0, 255.7 ) min, and 84.5% of children engaged in more than two hours of sedentary behavior every day. Urban (202.9 min) and obese children (210.4 min) had longer sedentary behavior time, and with the increase in grade, the daily sedentary behavior time of children gradually increased ( Z/H =5.04,14.83,637.98, P <0.01).
Conclusion
Children and adolescents aged 6-14 years in Beijing have less LTPA time, too much sedentary time, and insufficient sleep duration. Grade is an important factor affecting physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration of children, and body shape may be related to their sedentary behavior and sleep time.It is suggested that targeted policies should be adopted for children of different grades to increase their physical activity and reduce their sedentary behavior to promote their healthy development.

Objective:
To explore the surgical methods for children with contracture deformity on hands after burn.
Methods:
From January 2014 to January 2018, 33 pediatric patients, a total of 42 hands with scar contracture deformities were reviewed. There were 24 males and 9 females, aged from 11 months to 6 years and 7 months. Among them, 20 hands were volar metacarpophalangeal joint contractures, 9 were volar interphalangeal joint contractures, 7 were dorsal metacarpophalangeal joint contractures (3 claw-shaped hands), 3 were hand back contractures, and 3 were palm contractures. Of the 42 hands, 36 hands were repaired with full-thickness skin grafts or split-thickness skin grafts, after the removal of contracted scar, and 6 hands were repaired with abdominal skin flaps, due to the tendon or bone exposure after the scar removal.
Results:
Skin grafts on 31 hands were all survived after 2 weeks. However, the survival area of 3 skin grafts was about 90%, and 2 skin grafts survived about 80%. All of them healed well after dressing changing. The 6 hands repaired with abdominal skin flap healed well too. After 1-2.5 years of follow-up, finger scar contracture occurred in 4 hands with skin grafting, and they were performed scar excision and sheet skin grafting. Three hands were treated with Z-plasty, due to web space contracture. The function of other hands were normal, without contracture or deformity. The skin color and texture were similar to the surrounding skin, with limited pigmented. Scars on the edge of skin grafts was not obvious. Patients and their families were satisfied.
Conclusions
The sheet skin graft is the main method for postburn scar contracture in children′s hands. The abdominal skin flap should be considered, if tendon or bone is exposed, especially for large wound or multiple sites.
9.A review on methods for offline removing of artifacts in electroencephalography induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation.
Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2019;36(1):146-150
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with electroencephalography(EEG) has become an important tool in brain research. However, it is difficult to remove the large artifacts in EEG signals caused by the online TMS intervention. In this paper, we summed up various types of artifacts. After introducing a variety of online methods, the paper emphasized on offline approaches, such as subtraction, principal component analysis and independent component analysis, which can remove or minimize TMS-induced artifacts according to their different characteristics. Although these approaches can deal with most of the artifacts induced by TMS, the removal of large artifacts still needs to be improved. This paper systematically summarizes the effective methods for artifacts removal in TMS-EEG studies. It is a good reference for TMS-EEG researchers while choosing the suitable artifacts removal methods.

BACKGROUNDThe lung and esophagus are always damaged during radiation on thoracic tumors to a certain extent. This study is to report the incidence of radiation pneumonitis and radiation esophagitis and to analyze the factors as predictors of radiation toxicity in the treatment of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for lung cancer.
METHODSBetween March 1999 and September 2003, 112 lung cancer patients treated with 3DCRT were reviewed at this Hospital. This population consisted of 87 men and 25 women, including 97 cases of non-small cell lung cancer and 15 of small cell lung cancer. The median age was 64 years old. Radiotherapy was delivered at 2Gy fraction, 5 fractions per week. The median total dose was 60Gy.
RESULTSGrade 2 or more acute radiation pneumonitis developed in 7.1% (8/112) of patients while grade 2 or more late radiation pneumonitis appeared in 1.8% (2/112) of patients. Acute radiation esophagitis was observed in 8.9% (10/112) of patients with grade 2. No clinical and physical factor was relative to acute radiation pneumonitis by univariate and multivariate analysis. In the entire population, the univariate analysis revealed that many parameters (pre-treatment weight loss more than 5%, chemotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy) were significantly associated with acute radiation esophagitis. Multivariate analysis revealed that pre-treatment weight loss more than 5% was the most important risk factor for acute radiation esophagitis (P= 0.016).
CONCLUSIONSNo clinical and physical factor is relative to acute radiation pneumonitis and pre-treatment weight loss more than 5% is the most important risk factor for acute radiation esophagitis in this study.
