OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the expression of ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1) protein and the efficacy of gemcitabine/cisplatin (GP) adjuvant chemotherapy in postoperative non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
METHODSA total of 68 patients with NSCLC after radical surgery were included in this study. The expression of RRM1 protein in tumor specimens was assayed by streptavidin-peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemistry retrospectively. Correlation between the expression of RRM1 protein and the efficacy of GP chemotherapy was analyzed. Disease-free survival rate was taken as the main outcome measure.
RESULTSAmong the 68 patients, 31 cases had recurrence or metastasis. The expression rate of RRM1 was 54.4%. The 1-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 82.7% and 61.5% for patients with RRM1-negative expression, and 78.1% and 36.8% for patients with RRM1-posivive expression, respectively (P = 0.044). In the subgroup analysis of stage IB cases, the 1-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 100% and 82.3% for patients with RRM1-negative expression, and 84.5% and 24.6% for patients with RRM1-positive expression, respectively (P = 0.047). In the analysis of squamous cell carcinoma subgroup, the 1-year and 3-year disease-free survival rates were 92.3% and 83.7% for patients with RRM1-negative expression, and 83.1% and 43.9% for patients with RRM1-posivive expression, respectively (P = 0.005). Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis indicated that smoking history, pathological type, clinical stage and expression of RRM1 significantly influenced the therapeutic efficacy (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSRRM1 protein may be a valuable predictive factor for gemcitabine/cisplatin adjuvant chemotherapy in NSCLC patients.

Objective To discuss the experience of medical treatment and rescue of the ‘SHENZHOU' astronauts in the landing place in the past 10 years,and to establish more effective mobile ICU in medical helicopters to ensure ‘SHENJIU' astronauts safety.Methods The data collected from foreign nations and our country was reviewed.Formerly experience in first-aid and rescue astronauts of our team was summerized.The important reasons of accidental injuries of astronaut during aerospace flight were listed.More effective and reasonable prophylactic measurements and clinical treatments of the accidental injuries of astronauts were brought forward.Results we established three effective mobile ICU that could ensure the safety of the astronauts.The carriers of the ICU were helicopters,and damage control surgery can be performed there.Fine armature made us more effective.Conclusions Reasonable and effective prophylactic measurements and clinical treatments were the important aspect of the successful manned aerospace flight.The first-aid system in helicopters could realize the destination of swift response and first-aid.

Epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is an oncogene involved in tumour genesis and progression. It is expressed in 7% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and is associated with drug resistance of epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies. With the emergence of the therapeutic dilemma of CRC and the survival benefits of targeting HER2 for patients with breast cancer and gastric cancer, the significance of HER2 in CRC and the prognostic value of anti-HER2 therapy have been widely concerned, clinical researches on HER2-positive CRC have been continuously carried out. Currently, the diagnostic criteria for HER2 positive CRC have gradually been unified. HER2-targeting therapies such as monoclonal antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, antibody-drug coupling and HER2-related immunotherapy alone or in combination have shown good efficacy and brought significant survival benefits for HER2 positive CRC. This paper reviews the research progress of HER2 in CRC.

Objective:The composition of thrombi obtained during mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute ischemic stroke is analyzed to investigate its relation with stroke etiology and its influence in surgical parameters and clinical prognoses.Methods:The thrombi and clinical data of 41 patients with acute ischemic stroke directly treated by mechanical thrombectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019 were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to quantitatively analyze the composition of thrombi, and the components of thrombi in patients with different causes of stroke (large artery atherosclerosis [LAA], cardiogenic embolism [CE], and unexplained type) were compared. These patients were divided into erythrocyte-rich group (erythrocyte content>fibrin content) and fibrin-rich group (erythrocyte content
