Objective To study the efficacy and toxicity of gensenoside-Rg3 (Rg3) combined with radiotherapy on non-small cell lung cancer ( NSCLC ) at advanced stages (Ⅲ and Ⅴ ).Methods Sixty-three patients with stage Ⅲ or Ⅳ NSCLC were divided randomly into two groups:treatment group ( n =35 ) treated with Rg3 combined with radiotherapy and control group ( n =28 ) treated with radiotherapy alone.The efficacy and side effects were compared after the treatment.Results The response rate ( CR + PR) of the treatment group was 57.14％,significantly higher than that of the control group (32.14％,x2 =3.91,P ＜ 0.05).The median survival time of the treatment group was 14.2 months,significantly longer than that of the control group ( 11.2 months,x2 =2.07,P ＜ 0.05 ).The one-year survival rate of the treatment group was 62.86％,significantly higher than that of the control group (39.29％,x2 =4.40,P ＜0.05).The incidence rates of side effects of the treatment group were all lower than those of the control group,but there were not significant difference. Conclusions Gensenoside-Rg3 combined with radiotherapy is effective for advanced stage NSCLC,with attenuation and synergistic effects.

Objective: To explore the dynamic regulation of histone acetylases p300 and p300/CBP associated factor (PCAF) on cardiac development gene NKX2.5 during cardio-genesis and to provide the new theoretical basis to clarify the regulatory mechanism for cardio-genesis in fetal mice.
Methods: Our research included 4 groups of cardiac tissues: Embryo (EB) 14.5 days group,n=10, EB 16.5 days group, n=10 and Neonatal 0.5 day group,n=5, Neonatal 7 days group,n=3. Immunoprecipitation was performed in myocardial tissues using anti-p300, anti-PCAF and anti-H3K9ac antibodies to retrieve p300, PCAF and H3K9ac binding DNA, the speciifc DNA sequences were ampliifed by real-time PCR to detect and the binding levels of p300, PCAF and the acetylation level of H3K9ac in NKX2.5 promoter sequence. In addition, the mRNA expression of NKX2.5 was examined by RT-PCR.
Results: The binding levels of p300 and PCAF had the timing consequence at different stage of cardio-genesis. The binding level of p300 in EB 16.5 days group (0.063 ± 0.021), Neonatal 0.5 day group (0.019 ± 0.008), Neonatal 7 days group (0.011 ± 0.003) were all lower than that in EB 14.5 days group (0.231 ± 0.033), and in Neonatal 0.5 day group and Neonatal 7 days group were lower than EB 16.5 days group, allP<0.05. The binding level of PCAF in EB 16.5 days group (0.063 ± 0.021), Neonatal 0.5 day group (0.019 ± 0.008), Neonatal 7 days group (0.011 ± 0.003) were all lower than that in EB 14.5 days group (0.185 ± 0.023), allP<0.05. The H3K9ac acetylation level and NKX2.5 mRNA expression level had the timing consequence at different stage of cardio-genesis. H3K9ac acetylation level in EB 16.5 days group (0.098 ± 0.014), Neonatal 0.5 day group (0.074 ± 0.010), Neonatal 7 days group (0.045 ± 0.014) were all lower than that in EB 14.5 days group (0.119 ± 0.020), and in Neonatal 7 days group was lower than EB 16.5 days group, allP<0.05. The NKX2.5 mRNA expression level in EB 16.5 days group (0.701 ± 0.181), Neonatal 0.5 day group (0.502 ± 0.159), Neonatal 7 days group (0.529 ± 0.13) were all lower than that in EB 14.5 days group (1.000 ± 0.130), allP<0.05.
Conclusion: Histone acetylases p300 and PCAF may dynamically regulate H3K9ac acetylation in NKX2.5 promoter sequence, and the mRNA of NKX2.5 was dynamically expressed during cardio-genesis in experimental fetal mice.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and feasibility of the in-situ needle fenestration combined with the in vitro physician modified fenestration technique to reconstruct supra-aortic branches during thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for aortic arch lesions requiring landing at Z0 and Z1.Methods:From Nov 2017 to Dec 2019, eighteen patients who underwent both the in-situ needle fenestration and the in vitro physician modified fenestration techniques to extend the proximal landing zone to Z0 and Z1 during TEVAR were included in our study.Results:Sixteen patients underwent in vitro physician modified fenestration ,two patients underwent in vitro physician modified fenestration to reconstruct both the left common carotid artery and the innominate artery. All eighteen patients received in-situ needle fenestration to preserve the left subclavian artery. Supra aortic branches were preserved in all patients (38/38, 100%). There was no Type Ⅰ endoleak. Type Ⅱ endoleak was found in four paitnets (4/18). Type Ⅲ endoleak occurred in one patient (1/18). Type Ⅳ endoleak in four patients (4/18). Type Ⅲ endoleak needed open aortic arch repair 6 months later. The median follow-up time was 12 months. One (1/18) died in 12 months and the other patients were doing well.Conclusions:The joint application of the in-situ needle fenestration and the in vitro physician modified fenestration to reconstruct supra-aortic branches during TEVAR for aortic arch pathologies requiring landing at Z0 and Z1 was satisfactory.

Objective To study hemodynamics of cerebral blood flow in newborns with asphyxia.Method Bilateral cerebral electrical admittance plethysmogram(BCEAP) was used to explore characteristics of cerebral blood flow in 20 healthy newborns and 20 newborns with asphyxia respectively from first to fourth day after birth.Results Both the ratio of Hs to b-S(Hs/ b-S) and index of admittance differential loop(ADL) Ⅰ+Ⅱ decreased significantly in newborns with asphyxia compared to normal control from first to fourth day after birth(P

Objective: To investigate the breakfast consumption of middle school students and to analyze its relationship with physical fitness, so as to provide reference for improving physical fitness of middle school students. Methods: A total of 2 732 middle school students from Shangrao City were selected in September 2021 by random cluster stratified sampling. The breakfast consumption behaviors of middle school students were investigated by questionnaire, and the general information, family information and other lifestyle behaviors were collected. The physical fitness test includes grip strength, standing long jump, 1 minute sit up, sit forward bend, 50 m run and 20 m shuttle run test (20 m SRT) to evaluate the strength, flexibility, speed and endurance of middle school students. χ 2 tests were used to compare the correlation between different demographic characteristics, breakfast behavior and physical fitness,and Logistic regression analysis was used to infer the correlation strength between breakfast behavior and physical fitness. Results: The detection rate of physical fitness failure among middle school students was 21.5%. There were statistically significant differences between breakfast frequency and grip strength and 20 m SRT( χ 2=8.27, 13.90, P < 0.05 ). Logistic regression analysis results showed that 20 m SRT was positively correlated with breakfast frequency (sometimes eat breakfast, OR =1.51, skip or occasionally eat breakfast OR =2.08, P <0.05). Conclusion The low frequency of breakfast consumption of middle school students is associated with low performance on 20 m SRT. Schools and families should pay attention to the breakfast consumption of middle school students to ensure adequate daily nutrition intake.

In order to prove the feasibility of preparation of the drug-incorporated stent by immersing stent wires in the monoclonal antibody (mAb) solution, fluorescence stain and image analysis were used to evaluate the L-PLA-coated stent. Absorption was measured using a radioisotope technique after preparing the mAb-incorporated stent, and the absorption curve was determined from the absorption data. In an in vitro perfusion circuit, the antibody was eluted from the stent matrices, and the related influence factors were evaluated based on the release data.

OBJECTIVETo study the antileukemic activity of L-asparaginase through determining the changes of 4 kinds of amino acids (Asn, Aspa, Glu and Gln) in cell culture medium.

METHODSFollowing L-Asp treatment with designed concentrations and duration, the IC50 (inhibitory concentration 50%) of 8 kinds of common leukemia cell lines (U937, HL-60, Jurkat, NB4, THP-1, Namalwa, Karpass299, K562) were determined by CCK-8 assay. The changes of the 4 kinds of amino acids mentioned above were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

RESULTSThe asparagines in cell culture medium were rapidly exhausted when treated with 0.01 U/mL L-Asp for 4 hrs or 1 U/mL L-Asp for 5 minutes. There were significant differences in the sensitivities to L-Asp of different leukemia cell lines. The sensitivities to L-Asp of various cell lines were dose-dependent. Low concentration of L-Asp resulted in a low IC50 and the IC50 increased following the L-Asp concentration increased.

CONCLUSIONSDifferent leukemia cell lines have different sensitivities to L-Asp, suggesting that exhaustion of asparagines around leukemia cells could not reflect the treatment efficacy of L-Asp. L-Asp antileukemic activity is dose-dependent, which suggests the importance of high-dose L-Asp on childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
