2.Recent advances of molecular genetic characteristics of small cell lung cancer
China Oncology 2014;(8):630-635
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with fairly poor prognosis. Innovative treatment based on improved understanding of the genetic alterations of SCLC is awaited. Recently, a number of potential targets or important oncogenic pathways have been identified by the next generation sequencing or other systematic genomic analysis in SCLC. In this review, we summarised the new ifndings of genetic characteristics in SCLC.
3.The application of serum endotoxin combined with integrated model for end-stage liver disease in evaluating the short and medium term prognosis of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(31):18-21
Objective To evaluate the application value of serum endotoxin combined with integrated model for end-stage liver disease (iMELD) in evaluating the short and medium term prognosis of patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Methods The clinical data of 68 patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into survival group and death group according to the result of follow-up at the 3,6 and 12 months.The iMELD score and Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score were calculated according to relevant indicators,and the serum endotoxin level was detected.The correlation between serum endotoxin and iMELD score was analyzed in the short and medium term prognosis in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.Results After 3 months' follow-up,5 patients died.The iMELD scores in survival group and death group were (39.26 ± 7.29) and (49.29 ± 8.63) scores,CTP scores were (9.32 ± 2.12) and (12.03 ± 2.75) scores,serum endotoxin levels were (9.21 ± 2.24) and (15.39 ± 5.12) ng/L,and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).After 6 months'follow-up,12 patients died.The iMELD scores in survival group and death group were (41.35 ± 8.03) and (52.18 ± 10.37) scores,CTP scores were (9.78 ± 2.05) and (12.93 ± 1.99) scores,serum endotoxin levels were (8.96 ± 2.41) and (16.43 ±6.03) ng/L,and there were statistical differences (P <0.05).After 12 months' follow-up,19 patients died.The iMELD scores in survival group and death group were (40.74 ± 6.38) and (52.29 ± 8.53) scores,CTP scores were (10.01 ± 2.23) and (13.27 ± 1.69) scores,serum endotoxin levels were (8.53 ± 2.34) and (16.52 ± 6.08) ng/L,and there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).The area under curve of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was 0.952,standard error was 0.048,and 95% confidence interval was 0.790-1.022.The best critical value of iMELD score to predict death was ≥48.00 scores,and the risk of death would rise if iMELD score was increased.The best critical value of serum endotoxin to predict death was ≥ 11.00 ng/L.Conclusion iMELD score and serum endotoxin have important value in predicting prognosis in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2015;31(23):1770-1773
Objective To translate the English version of the Oncology Patients' Perceptions of the Quality of Nursing Care Scale (OPPQNCS) into Chinese and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of OPPQNCS in oncology patients.Methods The English version of OPPQNCS was translated by Brislin translation mode.Totally 320 oncology patients were recruited and were investigated by the Chinese version of OPPQNCS.Results The internal consistency coefficient of the Chinese version of OPPQNCS was more than 0.70,ranged from 0.804 to 0.964;the test-retest was 0.826.The content validity index(CVI) was 0.845-1.000,the average CVI was 0.925.Factor analysis got four factors,which explained 78.548% of the total variance.And every objective factor loading were greater than 0.4.Conclusions The Chinese version of OPPQNCS has been proved to be reliable and valid.It can be used as a valid tool for the oncology patients to measure their perceptions of the quality of nursing care they got.
6.Association between serum uric acid levels and prognosis in acute ischemic stroke:a prospective case study
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2015;34(11):1210-1212
Objective To investigate the association between serum uric acid (SUA)levels and outcome in acute ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 388 acute ischemic stroke patients were included in the prospective case study.Data on demographic characteristics, risk factors for life style, history of disease, the admission SUA and outcome at discharge were collected for all participants.Results Mean serum uric acid levels were (284.5±83.6) μmol/L in the normal uric acid? group, and(455.3±78.1)μmol/L in the high uric acid group(P<0.01).There were significant differences in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at two weeks between the high UA group and the normal UA group [(11.0±6.0) vs.(11.0±5.3),P=0.048], and also in early neurological improvement (P=0.048).A significant difference was found in serum uric acid level between patients with good versus poor neurological function outcome (P =0.045).Conclusions There is the association between admission serum uric acid levels and outcome in acute ischemic stroke.Elevated serum uric acid level predicts a lower chance of a poor outcome in acute ischemic stroke.

Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(10):774-776
The invasion and metastasis of esophageal carcinoma is associated with several tumor marker on oncogenesi and tumor development,including matrix metalloproteinase,cell adhesion molecules CD44,pituitary-tumour transforming genes.Studies have shown that these tumor markera are over-expression in esophageal carcinoma,which affect the progress and prognosis of esophageal carcinoma,and their specificity and value for clinical application need to be futher studied.

Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(02):-
Three components have been isolated from Zebrina pendula Schnizl and identified as ?-sitosterol, 3?, 5?, 6?-trihydroxy stigmast and succinic acid. As a result the anti-tumor rate were 43% (160mg/kg)for succinicacid, 91% (100mg/kg) for ?-sitosterol and 98%(100mg/kg) for 3?, 5?, 6?-trihydroxystigmast, respectively, after anti-cancer test of ascites type-180 sarcoma of mice. It was found that the last hadn't toxicity when its dose was increased.
