Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) not only exhibit a marked tropism for tumors,but also exert antitumorigenic activity or as an emerging vectors to express foreign genes continuously and efficiently within the tumor microenvironment,suppress tumor's growth and metastasis.Conversely,MSCs can accelerate tumor development through promoting tumor stroma remodeling and tumor vascular formation,inhibiting tumor local immune and changing tumor phenotype.The reason for this discrepancy may be attributable to different sources of MSCs,the heterogeneity of MSCs,differences in tumor microenviroment,or another factor that is not yet appreciated.

Many medical journals have already digitalized their publishing procedure,but not achieved digital publishing yet.Utilizing digital technology,digital publishing can achieve the functions that paper media cannot,such as information storage,fast search,real-time publishing,individualized information and interaction with readers.These functions entail digitalization of medical journals,and involve a range of macro- and micro-modifications,including laws,industry policies,personnel training,and culture development.There is a long way to go for Chinese medical journals to enter the stage of digital publishing.

Objective To identify the clinical risk factors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) and their values in early diagnosis. Methods The retrospective analysis of clinical data was conducted in 142 children with Myco-plasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) admitted to Changhai Hospital of Second Military Medical University from Jan. 2012 to Jan. 2014. All children were divided into two groups, RMPP group (n=112) and MPP group (n=30). The comparison was made between two groups in clinical data. The factors were analyzed by the multifactor logistic regression. Results As compared to MPP, RMPP had longer fever duration, the higher ratios of large consolidation shadows, extrapulmonary complications and in-creased CRP level (P<0.05). The results of logistic regression indicated that the clinical risk factors included large consolidation shadows (OR=6.57, 95%CI:2.10-20.56), extrapulmonary complications (OR=11.66, 95%CI:2.42-56.08) and CRP (OR=14.87, 95%CI:2.67-82.79) (P<0.01). Conclusions Large consolidation shadows, extrapulmonary complications and CRP are clinical risk factors of RMPP. CRP elevation and lung imaging changes are valuable in early diagnosis of RMPP.

Objective To establish an effective post-operative oral care procedure for patients with oral cavity cancer.Methods Eighty five post-operational patients with oral cavity cancer admitted to Sichuan Cancer Hospital during March 2011 and March 2013 were randomly divided into control group (42cases) and study group (43 cases).Patients in control group were given routine oral care,and those in study group received a special care procedure:normal saline washing + dioxogen cleaning + normal saline washing + normal saline gargle.Oral cleanliness,oral and lung infections were observed in both groups,and SPSS 17.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results Oral cleanliness,rates of oral infection and lung infection at d3 after operation,time of infections,the delayed wound healing and operating comfort were improved in the study group (Z/t/x2 =-2.48,4.57,4.64,2.36,2.25,-2.51,4.18,respectively; all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The oral care procedure containing normal saline washing + dioxogen cleaning +normal saline washing + normal saline gargle can improve oral cleanliness early after operation,reduce complications and increase the operating comfort.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of oxycodone for painless gastroscopy in pediatric patients when combined with propofol.Methods Sixty pediatric patients of either sex,aged 2-7 yr,weighing 10-28 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective painless gastroscopy,were divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:oxycodone group (O group) and sufentanil group (F group).The pediatric patients held by their parents entered the gastroscopy room,and propofol 1.5-2.0 mg/kg and penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.3 mg were intravenously injected.Oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg were intravenously injected in O and F groups,respectively.When body movement occurred during operation,additional propofol 1.0 mg/kg was intravenously injected.The occurrence of adverse reactions such as intraoperative body movement,laryngospasm and respiratory depression was recorded.The occurrence of postoperative vomiting and pain (FLACC pain scale scores ＞3) was also recorded.Results The incidence of intraoperative body movement,laryngospasm and respiratory depression and postoperative pain was significantly lower in O group than in F group (P＜0.05).Conclusion When combined with propofol,oxycodone produces better efficacy than sufentanil for painless gastroscopy in pediatric patients.

Since Parkin was confirmed by the Japanese scholar to be associated with juvenile Parkinson′s disease, it has come to be the focus of the scholars and a lot of researches have been made on it. Apart from Parkinson′s disease, many other disea-ses have also been proved to be associated with the role of Parkin and its interaction with protein substrates, especially in various kinds of cancer diseases and leukemia. This paper focuses on the latest research about Parkin and its development in tumor diseases and leukemia.

BACKGROUND: CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) is a type of highly effective immune adjuvant with low toxicity, which has an extensive application in gene therapy for many diseases. However, the specificity for species and cells leading to low uptake by cells and degradation by nuclease blocks its clinical application. OBJECTIVE: To explore the specific delivery and its immunologic efficacy of CpG ODN targeting B lymphocytes of umbilical cord blood by CD40 ligand-receptor-mediated carrier system. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An observation and control experiment was performed at the Department of Hematology, and Department of Pediatric, the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University from April 2004 to October 2007. MATERIALS: Fresh umbilical cord blood with heparin was obtained from healthy, natal infant. Informed consent was obtained from his parents, and the experiment was approved by the hospital Ethics Committee. METHODS: CD40 ligand (CD40L)-EDC-PLL-CpG ODN conjugated complex was prepared. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from umbilical cord blood were co-cultured with conjugated complexes. Uptake rate, mean fluorescence intensity of FAM marked CpG ODN, expressions of MNCs, proliferations of lymphocytes and the IgG levels of culture supematants were detected by flow cytometry, fluorescence techniques, MTT assay and ELISA, respectively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The uptake rate, the mean fluorescence intensity of CpG ODN by MNCs, subgroups and proliferations of lymphocytes, and IgG levels of culture supematants. RESULTS: Compared to the pure CpG ODN group, the uptake rate of the conjugated complexes group was higher (98%), the peak level of up-taking occurred earlier, and intracellular fluorescence intensity maintained much more stable. Expressions of CD19+, CD22+, and CD20+ was increased, A value and IgG levels in supematants were all higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSION: CD40 tigand-receptor-mediated carrier system is helpful for CpG ODN delivery targeting to B lymphocyte, enhancing its immunological efficiency.
