Objective To explore the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signal pathway in interleukin-8 (IL-8)/chemokine (C-X-C Motif) receptor 2 (CXCR2)-mediated growth and metastasis of liver cancer.Methods Eighty-two cases of liver cancer tissues and serum samples,and 21 cases of normal tissues and serum samples were collected.The level of serum IL-8 was measured by enzyme-linked immunesorbent assay (ELISA).Expression of CXCR2 was detected by immunohistochemical method,and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters was also analyzed.Different stages of liver cancer fresh tissues were selected,and expressions of CXCR2,PI3Kγ,AKT,and NF-κB were detected by Westeru blotting analyses.Results The levels of serum IL-8 in liver cancer patients (stages Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ) were (120.34 ±15.52) pg/ml,(221.60 ±23.10) pg/ml,(279.50 ±24.25) pg/ml,(324.81 ±22.50) pg/ml,respectively.With the increasing degree of liver cancers,levels of IL-8 were increased,most significant was in the Ⅳ period of liver cancer; the expression of CXCR2 was significantly correlated with pathological stages,degree of differentiation,lymph node and distant metastases of liver cancer (P < 0.05) ; serum IL-8 levels were consistent with expression of CXCR2 in liver cancer tissues,which had a strong correlation with activation of PI3K γ,AKT,and NF-κ B proteins.Conclusions IL-8/CXCR2 was able to mediate the growth and metastasis of liver cancers,which might be through the activation of PI3K signaling pathway.

Based on previous clinical and basic research on autohemotherapy,its effective mechanism was explored.Autohemotherapy was used as the keyword in the document retrieval of databases such as the Pubmed,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and etc.from 1990 to 2017.Previous clinical and basic research results of our team were also combined in the analysis of effective mechanism study on autohemotherapy in the treatment of acne.The results showed that autohemotherapy displayed the treatment effect of acne vulgaris through the regulation of Th1/Th2 immune deviation and micro ecological imbalance of local lesions,which may be one of the important ways in the treatment of acne vulgaris by autohemotherapy.It also reflected the regulation of Yin and Yang to reach the balance.It was concluded that in the future research,taking the effect of Th1/Th2 immune deviation and micro ecological imbalance of local lesions as the starting point,it will provide experimental basis for the effect of regulating Yin and Yang to reach the balance.It can provide certain scientific basis for its clinical application.

Objective To compare the separation effects of protein samples extracted by two different methods with two -dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) .Methods Ultrasonic disruption and glass-beads grounding were used to prepare protein samples of Gram-negative bacteria , Gram-positive bacteria and animal tissues .The actual results of the two sample preparation methods were compared by 2-DE.Results The 2-DE maps of samples extracted by the two methods were obtained.Conclusion The 2-DE maps of glass-beads grounding samples are better than those of ultrasonic disruption thanks to their lower backgrounds , which are beneficial for further image analyses .

Fourteen patients with pancreatic carcinoma were selected. Two treatment plans were designed for each patient, including gamma knife and Tomotherapy. The dose characteristics were evaluated by DVH and were compared. The results showed that the gamma knife plan had the higher maximal and mean target dose than Tomotherapy. Body gamma knife can increase the target dose significantly, and decrease the OAR dose. Tomotherapy had excellent dose-target conformality, and it can control doses of duodenum and stomach easily, but it had larger low dose region.

Objective:To explore the effect of early essential newborn care technology during cesarean section on early health outcomes of mothers and infants and breast feeding.Methods:This study was a randomized controlled study. From October 2020 to August 2021, 104 delivery women and their newborns who were scheduled for full-term cesarean section in Peking University First Hospital were selected as the study subject. The subjects were randomly divided into control group and intervention group, 52 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing of the newborn after cesarean section, while the intervention group received early essential newborn care technology after cesarean section. The amount of postpartum hemorrhage, hospital stay, Apgar score at one and five minutes after birth, the incidence of abnormal conditions within 90 minutes after birth, the time of umbilical cord shedding, the time of the first feeding sign of the newborn, the success rate of early initiation of breastfeeding and the implementation of breast feeding at discharge were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the amount of postpartum hemorrhage within two hours, the amount of postpartum hemorrhage within two to 24 hours and the number of days in hospital ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference between the two groups in Apgar scores at one and five min after birth ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference between the two groups in the occurrence of re-attraction, respiratory abnormalities, resuscitation, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) transfer and other abnormalities within 90 minutes after birth ( P>0.05) . There was no statistical difference in the time of umbilical cord shedding between the two groups ( P>0.05) , and no umbilical infection occurred. The first foraging reflex in the intervention group was earlier than that in the control group, and the success rate of early initiation of breastfeeding was higher than that in the control group, and the differences was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . There was no statistical difference in the implementation of breast feeding between the two groups at discharge ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:It is safe and feasible to implement early essential newborn care technology during cesarean section, and it can effectively promote early initiation of breastfeeding, which is of great significance for breast feeding and has the value of clinical promotion.

Objective To introduce the therapeutic procedures of helical tomotherapy based total marrow irradiation(HT-TMI), and validate the feasibility of TMI. Methods At 1 week before bone marrow transplantation,12 patients received TMI conditioning regimen at a prescriptive dose of 12 Gy in 3 times,once daily. Patient immobilization, CT simulation, target delineation, plan design and dosimetric verification were implemented in sequence according to the TMI procedures. The dosimetric paramaters of the target and normal tissues were analysed. The correlation between the dose verification and image-guided results was observed. Results Compared with total body irradiation(TBI), TMI could significantly reduce the irradiation dose to normal tissues. The median dose D50of all normal tissues except the oral cavity were lower than 6 Gy,where The D50of lens,brain,lung and liver are (1.8±0.1) Gy, (5.7±0.2) Gy, (5.2±0.2) Gy, and (4.6±0.2) Gy, respectively. Pass rate of γ Index was larger than 95% with 3mm/3% criterian for each section. The positioning error of head and neck was relatively lower than that of pelvis at x-axis,and was higher at z-axis.Conclusions Helical tomotherapy based TMI is a feasible and reasonable approach,which has evident dosimetric advantage.
