Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2017;16(7):668-673
It is plentiful about the 289 abstracts for the colorectal cancer (CRC) in the 2017 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO),which include:(1) comparison between long and short courses of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for stage Ⅲ CRC in the early diseases,applications of the full course of neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer and laparoscopic total mesorectal excision for rectal cancer.(2) The use of Vitamin D3 and selective interstitial radiotherapy for metastatic CRC in the advanced diseases showed an encouraging efficacy.Patients with BRAF mutation and poor prognosis underwent a combination therapy of BRAF inhibitor and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),which has created a new situation for precision therapy.And China's domestically designed Fruquintinib (small-molecule kinase inhibitor) and EGFR CMABO09 have showed better clinical efficacies in the second-line therapy.(3) On the precision medicine and translational researches,clinical value of consensus of molecular subtypes is being revealed and liquid biopsy is advantageous to predict postoperative tumor recurrence.These new therapies and researches would impact the clinical practices,promote clinical development and benefit the patients.
2.THE ABNORMALITIES OF T CELL SUBSETS IN GRAVES' DISEASE
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(03):-
T cell can be divided into theophylline sensitive cell (TS) and theophylline resistant cell (TR) based on the E-RFC using human peripheral T cell treated with theophylline. The TS may be regarded as suppressor T cell and the TR helper T cell. T cell subsets were enumerated in 45 cases of Graves' disease(GD) and 22 normal controls. The results showed that the TR was significantly higher (56.63+7.03%) while the TS was.much lower (15.07+3.78%) in the patients than those in the controls (41.84+4.77% and 26.45+4.45% respectively). The TR/TS ratio of the pateints was elevated (4.16 + 1.76 vs 1.61 + 0.33) .The patients with normal serum T3, T4 after treatment of anti-thyroid drugs could be divided into-two subgroups, one with high and another with normal TR / TS ratio. TS function was determined using the mixed lymphocyte culture and the results were expressed as the suppressive rate (SR). The SR of the patients was singificantly lower than that of the controls (17.88 +2.52% vs 39.56 +3.22%). A positive correlation was found between the serum T3, T4 and TR / TS ratio of the patients. Our findings indicated that patients with GD may have immunological abnormalities in quantity and function of TS and the disturbance of immunoregulation might exist in Graves' disease.

The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2014;(6):594-597
Objective To explore the effect of μ-opioid receptor agonist on acute lung injury in-duced by trauma-LPS two hits in rat model.Methods Thirty-two aduld SD rats,were randomized in four groups(n=8):normal control group(group N),blank control group(group B),DAMGO group (group D)and DAMGO+CTOP group(group DC).A rat model was made by intraperitoneal injection of LPS at 6 hours after fracturing bilateral thighbone.Group N didn’t receive trauma and LPS,only anesthesia.The rats in group D received 200 μg/kg of DAMGO,group DC received 600 μg/kg of CTOP and 200 μg/kg of DAMGO,group B obtained the same amount of saline.6 hours after treat-ment,the arterial blood was collected for blood gas analysis,the lungs was harvested to observe lung tissue pathology change and dry-weight/wet-weight ratio,and the levels of MDA,TNF-α,IL-6,SOD activities in lung tissue were determined.Results The results of pathological observation showed that there was obvious inflammatory reaction in lung tissues after two-hits.Compared with group D, PaO2 ,pH and dry-weight/wet-weight ratio were significantly lower in group B and group DC(P <0.05),The score of Smith were significantly increased(P <0.05).The levels of MDA,TNF-α,IL-6 in lung tissue were significantly reduced in group D than those in group B and group DC(P <0.05), SOD activities in group D were significantly higher than those in group B and group DC(P <0.05 ). Conclusion μ-Opioid receptor DAMGO agonist has protective effect on acute lung injury induced by trauma-LPS two hits in rat model.
4."Effect of dexmedetomidine sedation on acute lung injury induced by trauma and endotoxemia ""two-hit"" in rats"
Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2014;34(11):1399-1401
Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine sedation on acute lung injury induced by trauma and endotoxemia two-hit in rats.Methods Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 150-200 g,were randomized into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),two-hit group (group T) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Bilateral middle femoral shaft fractures were produced using hemostatic forceps.In group D,dexmedetomidine 2.5 tμg· kg-1· h-1 was infused via the caudal vein immediately after fractures,while the equal volume of normal saline was infused for 8 h in C and T groups.Lipopolysaccharide 2.5 mg/kg was injected via the caudal vein at 4 h after fractures in T and D groups.All the animals were monitored for 24 h with a continuous glucose monitoring system.Blood glucose concentrations were recorded within 24 h after fractures,and mean amplitude of glucose excursions (MAGE) was calculated.The arterial blood samples were collected at 24 h after fractures for blood gas analysis.The lungs were then harvested for determination of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) contents in lung tissues and for microscopic examination of pathological changes which were scored.Results Compared with group C,MAGE,PaCO2,TNF-α and IL-6 contents and pathological scores were significantly increased,and pH value and PaO2 were decreased in T and D groups.Compared with group T,MAGE,TNF-α and IL-6 contents and pathological scores were significantly decreased,and pH value and PaO2 were increased,and no significant change was found in PaCO2 in D group.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine sedation can mitigate acute lung injury induced by trauma and endotoxemia two-hit,and the mechanism is related to reduced stress and inflammatory responses in rats.

7.Therapeutic efficacy observation of warm needling moxibustion plus Tuina for knee osteoarthritis
Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2022;20(2):152-158
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) for knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods: A total of 60 patients with KOA were randomized into an observation group and a control group by the random number table, with 30 cases in each group. The control group was treated with warm needling moxibustion, and the observation group was treated with additional Tuina treatment. The treatments were performed once every other day, for a total of 10 times. The visual analog scale (VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) were scored before and after treatment, and the surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of quadriceps femoris were collected. Results: The total effective rate of the control group was 76.7%, and that of the observation group was 90.0%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The WOMAC and VAS scores in both groups after treatment were improved, and the integrated electromyography (iEMG) and median frequency (MF) of quadriceps femoris were increased. The intra-group differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). After treatment, the WOMAC and VAS scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The improvement of quadriceps femoris function in the observation group was more notable than that in the control group, and the iEMG value and MF were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Warming needling moxibustion plus Tuina can effectively relieve the pain in patients with KOA, improve their daily activity function, and increase the sEMG signals of the quadriceps femoris.
8.Risk factors for ischemic stroke in the very old (≥80 years)
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2009;17(10):761-764
The risk factors for ischemic stroke in the very old (≥ 80 years) are not exactly the same as other populations (< 80 years). Compared to other age groups, the incidence of ischemic stroke in the very old female population is higher, and the traditional risk factors such as atrial fibrillation and hypertension are more common, whereas diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking and drinking are less common. It is uncertain that whether heart failure, ischemic heart disease and high creatinine level increase the risk of ischemic stroke. Overall, the effect of traditional risk factors on ischemic stroke in the very old remains to be further studied.
9.Analysis on risk factors for ischemic stroke in people aged 80 years and over
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2010;09(8):553-555
A total of 94 patients aged 80 years or over diagnosed as acute ischemic stroke based on their clinical features and CT or MRI and 64 elderly people without stroke as controls were enrolled in this study. They were admitted in Beijing Hospital from September 2003 to July 2008. Blood pressure measurement, electrocardiogram (ECG) and color doppler ultrasonography in carotid arteries were performed for all of them, as well as blood glucose, lipid and fibrinogen were measured and history of hypertension,diabetes, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia, smoking and alcohol drinking were recorded. Univariate analysis showed that more hypertension, hyperfibrinogenemia, atrial fibrillation and carotid atherosclerosis were found in the elderly patients with ischemic stroke than in those without it ( P < 0. 05 ). And, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that hyperfibrinogenemia ( OR = 16. 23, P = 0. 009 ), atrial fibrillation ( OR = 3.47, P = 0. 080) and isolated systolic hypertension ( OR = 1.05, P < 0. 01 ) all were independent risk factors for ischemic stroke in the elderly.
