Objective: To systemically review the safety and efficacy of Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold (Absorb BVS) versus cobalt chromium-everolimus eluting stent (CoCr-EES) for treating the patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: We searched relevant literatures in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI and Wanfang database from 2008-01 to 2015-10, meanwhile, collected published data and randomized controlled trials from meeting abstracts and websites to compare Absorb BVS and CoCr-EES for treating CAD patients. The quality of literatures were assessed and extracted by modiifed Jadad score, Meta-analysis was conducted by STATA 12.0 soft ware.
Results: There were 4 eligible trials with 3,389 patients were enrolled. Absorb BVS group, n=2,164 and CoCr-EES group, n=1,225. During the mean of 1.1 years follow-up period, the following incidences were similar between 2 groups:target lesion failure (OR=1.29, 95%CI 0.95-1.74, P=0.10), all cause death (OR=1.31, 95%CI 0.60-2.87, P=0.50), cardiac death (OR=1.38, 95%CI 0.45-4.24, P=0.57), myocardial infarction (OR=1.30, 95%CI 0.93-1.80, P=0.12), deifnite or probable stent thrombosis (OR=2.08, 95%CI 0.95-4.54, P=0.07), re-vascularization (OR=1.03, 95%CI 0.80-1.33, P=0.81), target lesion re-vascularization (OR=1.06, 95%CI 0.67-1.66, P=0.81) and the patient-oriented composite endpoint (OR=0.95, 95%CI 0.66-1.35, P=0.76).
Conclusion: Absorb BVS and CoCr-EES had the similar safety and efifcacy for treating the low and moderate risk CAD patients who had angina, ischemia while without symptoms. The longer period of follow-up study and larger randomized, controlled clinical trials were needed for Absorb BVS application in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds as bone substitutes have become a research hotspot. OBJECTIVE:To introduce and discuss the effects of each parameter of 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds on bone ingrowth, and to sum out the optimal parameters for bone ingrowth. METHODS:The first author retrieved PubMed, Springerlink and Medline databases with“three-dimensional (3D) printing, scaffold, titanium, bone ingrowth”as keywords for relevant articles published from 2006 to 2016. 125 articles were retrieved initial y, and final y 42 eligible articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Pore size, porosity, pore structures and surface modifications of 3D printed porous titanium scaffolds al make effects on bone ingrowth or osteoblasts in scaffolds. Scaffolds with appropriate pore size and porosity can promote the vascularization and provide adequate nutrition and oxygen supplement, to ensure high cel viability. Regulations of cel performances, such as cel attachment, proliferation and differentiation, are also affected by pore structures and nano-scale surface modification. Herein, a detailed combination of the parameters, as mentioned above, can create a better porous scaffold for better bone ingrowth. Hence, the high-stability interface between bone and scaffolds may be obtained through the parameter adjustment.

Objective To investigate the effect of metoprolol and metoprolol combined with moderate inten-sity aerobic exercise on the sympathetic vasoconstriction response of skeletal muscle, functional sympatholysis and the exercise capacity of hypertensive men. Methods Thirty men with mild ( stage 1) essential hypertension were divi-ded into a drug group and an observation group. The drug group received only metoprolol while the observation group took metoprolol and performed aerobic exercise (intensity 50-70% of VO2max, 30-45 min/time, 3-5 times/week) for 12 weeks. Before and after the experiment, the subjects' maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), peak power (PP) as well as a rating of perceived exertion ( RPE) curve during exercise were determined using the graded exercise test. Forearm vascular conductance ( FVC) induced by the cold pressor test was measured using Doppler ultrasound at rest and during a handgrip exercise. Sympathetic vasoconstriction response was manifested by the rate of change in the conductance (%FVC) before and after the cold pressor test. Functional sympatholysis ( the ability of muscle contrac-tions to inhibit sympathetic vasoconstrictor response) was quantified using the difference in the %FVC values (△%FVC) between the handgrip exercise and at rest. Results After the treatment,%FVC during the handgrip exercise was lower than at rest in the observation group.△%FVC had increased significantly, as had VO2max and PP. The RPE curve during a graded exercise test shifted to the right in the observation group, but there was no significant change in the other observations. In the drug group, PP had decreased significantly and the RPE curve had shifted to the left. Conclusion Metoprolol can better improve functional sympatholysis and enhance exercise capacity when it is com-bined with moderate intensity aerobic exercise. That will alleviate any exercise intolerance in men with mild hyperten-sion caused by taking metoprolol alone.

Objective To investigate the effects of metformin and exaliplatin on proliferation and apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. The antitumor effects of metformin combined with exaliplatin on gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901 were compared. Methods SGC-7901 cells were cultured in vitro. The proliferation inhibition rate of cancer cell after treatment with various concentrations of metformin(5.0,10.0,15.0 mmol/L)、exaliplatin(2.5,5.0,10.0 μmol/L)or 15.0 mmol/L metformin combined with 10.0 μmol/L exaliplatin was analyzed via MTT colorimetric assay at 24,48,72 h.After 24 h, the SGC-7901 cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry, and the relative activity of caspase-3 and bax was detected by western blot. Results The co-administration of metformin and exaliplatin or single agent treatment could increase the proliferation inhibition rates of SGC-7901 cell in a time-and dose-dependent manner, while there was a significant higher proliferation inhibition rate in co-administration versus single-agent treatment (P < 0.05). The apoptosis rate induced by 15.0 mmol/L metformin and 10.0 μmol/L exaliplatin and combined treatment was (16.0 ± 2.1)%, (19.0 ± 2.7)%, (29.0 ± 3.5)%, higher than that in blank control group (10.0 ± 1.1)%, and there was significant difference (P <0.05). Both of metformin and exaliplatin could increase caspase-3 and Bax activity.Caspase-3 and Bax activity in the combination of metformin and exaliplatin was significantly higher than that of metformin group and exaliplatin group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Metformin combined with exaliplatin has synergistic effect in inhibiting the growth and inducing apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901.Enhancing caspase-3 and Bax expression may be the related mechanism

Objective:To investigate the treatment, safety and prognosis of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with leptomeningeal metastasis and performance status score more than 3.Methods:The clinical data of 6 NSCLC patients with leptomeningeal metastasis admitted to the People's Hospital of Wuhan University from November 2016 to September 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. The curative effect and adverse reactions were observed, and the prognosis was analyzed.Results:There were 5 females and 1 male among 6 patients. The median age was 57 years old (46-74 years old). All 6 patients were diagnosed as stage Ⅳ lung adenocarcinoma. There were 3 patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 21 mutation, 2 patients with exon 19 mutation and one with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion mutation. The time window of leptomeningeal metastasis occurred after the progression of adenocarcinoma of lung: 3 cases was more than 12 months, the other 3 cases was less than 12 months, and the average was 20.3 month. Performance status score was more than 3 when leptomeningeal metastasis occurred. The brain magnetic resonance imaging of 6 patients showed linear enhancement of leptomeningeal, cancer cells were found in cerebrospinal fluid in one case, 4 cases were treated with a combination of bevacizumab and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), 1 case was treated with oral administration of EGFR-TKI, 1 case was treated with oral administration of EGFR-TKI combined with temozolomide. The median overall survival (mOS) was 9 months (2-13 months), and the median progression free survival was 6 months (2-11 months).Conclusion:Lung adenocarcinoma may be prone to leptomeningeal metastasis; for NSCLC patients with leptomeningeal metastasis and performance status score more than 3, a combination of EGFR-TKI and bevacizumab has good tolerance, high safety and considerable curative effect.

PURPOSE: Immune suppression is common in patients with advanced breast cancer but the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon have not been sufficiently studied. In this study, we aimed to identify B7 family members that were able to predict the immune status of patients, and which may serve as potential targets for the treatment of breast cancer. We also aimed to identify microRNAs that may regulate the expression of B7 family members. METHODS: The Cancer Genome Atlas data from 1,092 patients with breast cancer, including gene expression, microRNA expression and survival data, were used for statistical and survival analyses. Polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were used to measure messenger RNA and protein expression, respectively. Luciferase assay was used to investigate direct microRNA target. RESULTS: Bioinformatic analysis predicted that microRNA (miR)-93, miR-195, miR-497, and miR-340 are potential regulators of the immune evasion of breast cancer cells, and that they exert this function by targeting CD274, PDCD1LG2, and NCR3LG1. We chose CD274 for further investigations. We found that miR-195, miR-497, and CD274 expression levels were inversely correlated in MDA-MB-231 cells, and miR-195 and miR-497 expressions mimic inhibited CD274 expression in vitro. Mechanistic investigations demonstrated that miR-195 and miR-497 directly target CD274 3′ untranslated region. CONCLUSION: Our data indicated that the level of B7 family members can predict the prognosis of breast cancer patients, and miR-195/miR-497 regulate CD274 expression in triple negative breast cancer. This regulation may further influence tumor progression and the immune tolerance mechanism in breast cancer and may be able to predict the effect of immunotherapy on patients.
