1.Regulation of exosomes in tumor:research progress
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2016;30(7):777-783
Exosomes are extracellular nanoparticles secreted by multiple types of cells,which are enriched for some bioactive molecules,such as proteins,messcge RNA(mRNA),micro RNA(miRNA), DNA and lipid. These molecules are documented to be involved in the process of intercellular material exchange and signal communication,thus affecting the function of cells. Also,exosomes are considered to participate in tumor angiogenesis,cancer progression and metastasis,but the mechanism remains obscure. Exosomes are of great value for the diagnosis and treatment of tumor. The correlations between exosomes and tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis as well as their clinical applications are summarized in this review.

Objective:To formulate a ladder type early activity program in order to provide a theoretical and practical basis for improving the current activity status of tumor patients with pulmonary embolism.Methods:This research was conducted experimentally. A total of 92 tumor patients diagnosed as pulmonary embolism from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022 in Sichuan Cancer Hospital were divided into control group and experimental group with 46 cases each by random number table method. In the control group, a routine activity program was carried out, and the patients were confined to bed for 7 days. The experimental group obtained the best evidence of early pulmonary embolism activity plan through evidence-based nursing, formed a nurse-led ladder type early pulmonary embolism activity team, and finally constructed and implemented the ladder type early activity plan. The mortality rate, new thrombosis in ICU for 3 days and 7 days, length of stay in ICU and patients′ comfort were compared between the two groups.Results:The mortality rates within 30 days after the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism were 4.35% (2/46) and 2.17% (1/46) respectively in the control group and the experimental group, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.35, P>0.05). The rates of new thrombosis were 15.22% (7/46) and 26.09% (12/46) in the control group, and 4.35% (2/46) and 4.35% (2/46) in the experimental group, respectively at 3 and 7 days after ICU admission, with a significant difference between the two groups at 7 days after ICU admission ( χ2=8.43, P<0.05). The length of stay in ICU and the score of General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ) were (15.74 ± 11.11) days and (64.30 ± 15.54) points in the experimental group, respectively, while those in the control group were (11.07 ± 5.63)days and (73.84 ± 11.73) points, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t=-2.55, -3.32, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The evidence-based ladder type early activity program for patients with pulmonary embolism caused by tumor will not increase the mortality of patients, but can ensure the safety of patients, reduce the incidence of new thrombosis and the length of ICU stay, improve the comfort of patients during the treatment of pulmonary embolism. It is worthy of clinical application.
3.Comparison of different orthokeratology lenses in controlling the progression of low myopia in children
Chinese Journal of School Health 2021;42(12):1896-1898
Objective:
To compare the effect of different orthokeratology lenses in controlling the progression of low myopia in children, and to provide a reference for exploring effective prevention measures for eyesight of children.
Methods:
A total of 175 cases (350 eyes) aged 8-12 years old who were fitted with orthokeratology lenses were collected in this retrospective study. The differences in the changes of the axis length (AL) and the spherical equivalent refraction (SER) were analyzed after wearing different orthokeratology lenses for one year, and the relationship between the change of AL, SER and gender, age was also analyzed.
Results:
In the Mouldway group, Alpha group, Lucid group and CRT group, the Median ( P 25 , P 75 ) of AL changes were 0.23 ( 0.12 , 0.41), 0.30 (0.17, 0.45), 0.35 (0.16, 0.41) and 0.33 (0.23, 0.41)mm, and there were no statistical significant difference between four groups ( Z =7.70, P >0.05); The Median ( P 25 , P 75 ) of SER changes were -0.31 (-1.00, 0.28), -0.38 ( -1.22 , 0.13), -0.25 (-0.84, 0.13) and -0.63 (-1.13, 0.25)D, and there were no statistical significant difference between four groups ( Z =2.15, P >0.05). The age had negative correlation with the change of AL ( r =-0.26, P <0.05), but has nothing to do with the change of SER ( r =0.10, P >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the change of AL ( Z =2.25, P > 0.05 ) and SER ( Z =-1.50, P >0.05) among children of different genders.
Conclusion
Different orthokeratology lenses have no differences in controlling the growth of the AL and changing the SER.

Objective:
To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of symptomatic radiation-induced lung toxicity (SRILT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with modern radiotherapy after surgery.
Methods:
Clinical data of consecutive NSCLC patients treated with postoperative three-dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences between November 2002 and December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 3.0), SRILT was defined as ≥grade 2 radiation-induced lung toxicity. Potential clinical risk factors and dosimetric parameters for SRILT were evaluated using logistic regression model.
Results:
Among 227 enrolled patients, 190 cases underwent lobectomy and 37 patients received pneumonectomy. Twenty-three patients (10.1%) developed SRILT after lobectomy. Seventeen patients experienced grade 2 SRILT, 5 cases of grade 3 SRILT and 1 case of grade 4 SRILT. Univariate analysis showed that postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy, relatively large PTV, mean lung dose and V20- V40 were significantly correlated with the incidence of SRILT (
