2.Progress and application of podoplanin's biological functions
Cancer Research and Clinic 2016;28(9):634-637
Podoplanin (PDPN), being mucin-like transmembrane sialoglycoprotein, is expressed on lymphatic endothelial cells, with its significant role in the development of inflammation, separation of blood and lymphatic circulation, platelet aggregation, integrity of the renal filtration barrier and alveolar. In recent years, many researches have demonstrated that PDPN is overexpressed on the surface of some tumor cells. The interaction between PDPN and CLEC-2 plays an important role in the development of tumor growth, migration and transfer, therefore, anti-PDPN antibody offers a new direction for the treatment of tumor patients. This paper aims at reviewing the progress and application prospect of PDPN.

Chinese Journal of Medical Science Research Management 2011;24(4):235-237,243
Objective To understand the needs for and supply of clinical research consultation at the clinical epidemiological unit (CEU) in a general hospital. Methods Data were collected from work records of 2008 of CEU and were analysed. Results There were three faculties and three graduate students in the CEU, who altogether provided 272 consultations in 2008. 147 of the consultants were doctors (54.0%), and 90 were graduate students (33.1%). With regard to the content of consultation, 106 (39. 0%) were for bio-statistical methods, 96 (35. 3%) for project design, 36(13.2%) for paper writing and 24 (8.8%) for others. The professor of the CEU provided more consultation on project design (71/139, 51.1%) than assistant professors (22/151, 19.1%) and graduate students (3/18, 16.7%) (P<0.01). The assistant professors (66/151, 57.4%) and graduate students (10/18, 55.6%) provided consultation on bio-statistical methods more than the professor (30/139, 21.6%) (P<0. 01). Conclusion Doctors and graduate students in the general hospital need clinical research consultation service from the CEU. It is necessary and possible to establish a CEU in general hospital to meet the needs of clinical epidemiological consultation. The free consulting policy is effective in improving the accessibility and satisfaction of the consulting service.

Hedgehog (Hh) signaling is critical for embryonic development and in differentiation,proliferation,and maintenance of multiple adult tissues.Deregulation of the Hh pathway is associated with Multiple pathological steps of PDAC(Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma).A prominent desmoplastic stromal reaction is the pathological hallmark of PDAC,it contributes to the formation of the hypovascular and hypoxic microenvironment of PDAC.And Hedgehog signaling is one of the most crucial pathways that maintains and activates the stroma.Clinical trials of Hedgehog signaling inhibitors in treatment of PDAC has been conducted,but results have been disappointing.Recently,to undercover the reason of the failure of clinical trial,more work has been done to uncovering the underlying role of stroma in PDAC.

Objective:To study the effects of ozone aging on the color stability of the SY-1 silicone elastomer. Methods :40 SY-1 silicone elastomer samples were prepared and grouped into 4 with 10 in each group. The samples in each group were painted with gouache color, oil pigment and inorganic salt respectively, one group was used as the control. Then the samples were treated with ?=10 -4 % ozone at 10~16 mm/s for 72 h. The color of the samples were measured by 1976 CIE L *a *b * standards of chromatic aberration before and after ozone treatment. The chromatic aberration was expressed as △E=〔△L *)2+(△a *)2+(△b *)2〕 1/2. Results :After 72 hours of ozone aging, △E of the samples in the groups of control, gouache color, oil pigment and inorganic salt was 0.55?0.11, 3.55 ? 0.09, 1.40 ? 0.11 and 1.57 ? 0.07 respectively ;Conclusion:Under the ozone aging condition, the SY-1 silicone elastomers stained with oil pigment and inorganic salt may have better color stability than that with gouache color.

Objective To observe the anti-shock effect of rapid infusion of 7.5% sodium chloride(NaCl) in dog with hemorrhagic shock. Methods Five mongrel dogs were bled to mean arterial pressure(MAP) of 5.33~6.70kPa, and this pressure was maintained for 1 hour. Each dog received 7.5% NaCl (4ml/kg) intravenously, the infusion time was 2 min. The observation time was 4 hours. Results During the infusion period, the blood pressure was obviously lower than that of the shock period(P

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exist in the tumor microenvironment,and can be affected by various anticancer treatments and further affect tumor progression.Increasing evidence suggests that many of the clinical antitumor measures can play a unique and effective antitumor effect by regulating the recruitment,polarization and related pro-tumor behavior of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment.Now,tumor microenvironment immune remodeling has become a hot spot in the research of anti-tumor therapy.This paper reviews the related research progress on antitumor effects of TAMs as an therapeutic target.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of preventive analgesia in patients with radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data of 161 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Xijing Hospital from July 2012 to June 2013 were prospectively analyzed.A single-blind,randomized,controlled study was performed in the eligibe patients who were randomly divided into the preventive analgesia group and the control group based on a random number table.All the patients received major gastrectomy + Billroth Ⅱ anastomy or total gastrectomy + esophagojejunastomy,and then they received vein combined anesthesia and tracheal intubation.In the preventive analgesia group,10 mg dexamethasone and 200 mg parecoxib were administered by intravenous infusion before operation,7-8 mL ropivacaine (0.5%) were injected at the incisional site and transversus abdominis infiltration at open and close surgery and celecoxib was taken orally for 3 days.In the control group,vein analgesia pump was used after operation.The visual analogue scale (VAS),proportion of patients with postoperative out-off-bed activity time > 8 hours,time of flatus,time of defecation and duration of hospital stay were recorded between the 2 groups.The measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s.The comparison between groups was evaluated with the t test and repeated measures ANOVA.The data with skew distrubution and ordinal data were analyzed by the analysis of variance,and the count data were analyzed using the chi-square test.Results All the 161 patients who were screened for eligibility were randomly divided into the preventive analgesia group (87 patients) and the control group (74 patients).The scores of the VAS at postoperative day 1,2 and 3 were 2.8 ± 0.6,2.6 ± 0.4 and 1.8 ± 0.4 in the preventive analgesia group,and 5.3 ± 0.5,4.2 ± 0.6 and 2.4 ± 0.3 in the control group,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (F =4.25,P < 0.05).The proportion of patients with postoperative first abmulation time > 8 hours at postoperative day 1,2 and 3 were 8,17 and 20 in the preventive analgesia group,and 0,3 and 11 in the control group,with a significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =7.60,10.26,3.16,P < 0.05).The time of flatus,time of defecation and duration of hospital stay were (51 ± 24) hours,(61 ± 24) hours and (5.5 ± 3.0) days in the preventive analgesia group,compared with (71 ± 23) hours,(83 ± 30) hours and (6.3 ± 2.1) days in the control group,showing a significant difference between the 2 groups (t =5.32,5.04,0.17,P < 0.05).All the patients in the 2 groups normally survived after surgery without respiratory depression,incision infection and adverse drug reaction.Conclusions Preventive analgesia in the perioperative treatment of patients with radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer could relieve the postoperative pain of patients,improve the bowel function and enhance the recovery of patients.Registry This study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry with the registry number of ChiCTRTRC-11001440.
