Currently, histological and molecular methods are considered for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Single-agent epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase in-hibitors (ALK-TKIs) have been used as standard first-line therapies for patients with active EGFR mutation and ALK rearrangement, re-spectively. However, to date, the single-agent EGFR-TKIs as the first-line therapy for patients with known EGFR mutations has been demonstrated to provide a prolonged progression-free survival but does not affect overall survival (OS). Physicians these days focus on improving the OS of patients with advanced NSCLC. To patients with EGFR mutation, combining and maintaining EGFR-TKIs with chemotherapy could be a promising approach. In this article, various ways of combining EGFR-TKIs with chemotherapy were explored.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of fusion proteins GnRH-GRP(G3G6)and HSP65-STEAP1(HST1)on dendritic cells(DC)and the sensitization of DCs to B16F10 melanoma. The fusion proteins G3G6 and HST1 were obtained using the previous engineering strains in our laboratory. Group by unsensitized DC(US-DC), the G3G6 fusion protein sensitized DC, the HST1 fusion protein sensitized DC(HST1-DC)and the combined sensitized DC(GH-DC), the mouse bone marrow-derived DCs were sensitized with fusion protein to obtain the fusion protein sensitized DC vaccines. B16F10 melanoma cells were transplanted into C57BL/6J male mice to construct a melanoma model(1×106 cells per mouse), and DC vaccine was injected for treatment. The antitumor efficacy of DC vaccine was explored by in vitro and in vivo experiments. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the fusion protein can effectively stimulate DC into differentiation and maturation; in the animal experiment, the inhibition rate of melanoma treated with G3G6-DC was 35. 75%, that of HST1-DC group and combination group were 34. 03% and 55. 74%. It was initially proved that both G3G6-DC and HST1-DC can effectively inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors of melanoma B16F10 cells in mice, and the combination therapy is superior to the single therapy.

The antibiotics used in this experiment are Streptomycin, Ampicilline, Tetracycline, Chloramphenicol, Kanamycin, Erythromycin, Qingdamycin, Midecamycin, Ribostamycin, Acriflavin, Rifampicin, Sulphanilamide and Azide. All strains are resist to streptomycin and azide at higher concentration and chloramphenicol at lower concentration. Most of strains are resist to tetracycline at lower concentration.

Aim To explore the effects of propofol on learning and memorizing ability and the effects of com-bination of propofol and phenobarbital sodium on epi-leptic rats.Methods Thirty-six epileptic rats were di-vided into epileptic model group (EP),normal saline group (NS),lipid emulsion +epileptic group (LE), phenobarbital sodium +epileptic group (PB),propofol+epileptic pattern (Prof),and combination of propo-fol and phenobarbital sodium +epileptic group.Each group had 6 rats.Tests of Morris water maze were giv-en to the rats to evaluate their learning and memorizing ability.The protein expression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4 )was examined by ELISA.Results There were no effects of saline and lipid emulsion on learning and memorizing ability and the expression of TLR4 pro-tein in hippocampus in epileptic rats (P >0.05 ). Propofol could increase the incubation period in epilep-tic rats obviously,shorten the plateau period,and in-crease the expression of TLR4 protein in hippocampus (P <0.05 ).Phenobarbital sodium could shorten the plateau period in epileptic rats,and increase the ex-pression of TLR4 protein in hippocampus (P <0.05), but it had no effect on the incubation period (P >0.05).Compared with PB,combination of propofol and phenobarbital sodium +epileptic group had a lon-ger incubation period and a shorter plateau period with an increase of the expression of TLR4 protein in hippo-campus (P <0.05 ).Compared with propofol group, combination of propofol and phenobarbital sodium +ep-ileptic group had a shorter plateau period (P <0.05) with an obvious increase in the expression of TLR4 pro-tein in hippocampus (P <0.05),but it had no effect on incubation period (P >0.05 ).Conclusions Propofol damages the learning and memorizing ability of epileptic rats.Phenobarbital sodium had no obvious effect on the learning ability in epileptic rats,but harms the memorizing ability in epileptic rats.Combi-nation of propofol and phenobarbital sodium affects the learning and memorizing ability of epileptic rats.Hip-pocampus TLR4 may be involved in the effect of propo-fol and phenobarbital sodium on the learning and mem-orizing ability of epileptic rats.

Objective To investigate needs of caregivers of patients with schizophrenia for mental health knowledge and provide the scientific evidence for formulating the general intervention to improve the caregivers′mental health knowledge and skills . Methods Sixty-five caregivers of the patients with schizophrenia participated in the survey by a general state questionnaire and the requirement to mental health knowledge and skill questionnaire using the convenience sampling method. The survey included mental illness knowledge drug, knowledge rehabilitative therapy and self-adjustment. Results Among all the items of the questionnaire, the 3 items they needed most was mental illness knowledge, the preventing method and the symptoms of the recurrent diseases. The 3 items they needed most in respect of drug knowledge were what examinations are needed when taking special drugs, the adverse reactions of the antipsychotic drugs and the importance of persisting in taking drugs. The 3 they needed most in respect of rehabilitative therapy were the relationship between psychology and disease rehabilitation, the role of mental treatment and the role of work-entertainment therapy. The 3 items they needed most in respect of self-adjustment included sleep adjustment, self-adjustment of affects and self-management of daily life and instructions on dieting. Conclusions The caregivers′mental health knowledge and skills are not enough. Therefore, their mental health knowledge and skills should be strengthened so that they can take better care of the patients to realize comprehensive rehabilitation of patients.

Objective:To investigate nursing students' attitudes toward death and hospice care before they start clinical practice, analyze the correlation between the two attitudes and compare their differences in junior and regular nursing college students.Methods:A cross-sectional study was adopted to investigate the attitudes toward death and hospice care in 232 senior nursing students at school. Instruments included the Chinese version of the Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) and the Chinese version of the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale-Form B (FATCOD-B). Pearson correlation analysis and independent t-test were used to analyze the data.Results:The mean scores of the 5 dimensions of death attitude were neutral acceptance (4.10±0.43), fear of death (2.76±0.66), death avoidance (2.73±0.74), approach acceptance (2.61±0.58), and escape acceptance (2.48±0.75), respectively. The total score of hospice care attitude was (107.63±8.45), which was negatively correlated with fear of death ( r=-0.247, P<0.01), death avoidance ( r=-0.278, P<0.01), and escape acceptance ( r=-0.145, P<0.05) scores and positively correlated with neutral acceptance score ( r=0.405, P<0.01). The death avoidance score of regular nursing college students was significantly lower than that of junior nursing college students ( t=-2.043, P<0.05), and the hospice care attitude score of regular nursing college students was significantly higher that of junior nursing college students ( t=2.639, P<0.01). Conclusion:There is a big room to improve nursing students' attitudes toward death and hospice care. Strengthening end-of-life care education is imperative.
