2.Thrombospondin 2 and tumors
Journal of International Oncology 2021;48(3):164-166
Thrombospondin (THBS) 2, as a member of the THBS family, is expressed in a variety of tumor cells and has important significance in the development and metastasis of tumors. In recent years, studies have reported that the specific role of THBS2 in different tumors is different, and it participates in a variety of biological processes, such as cell apoptosis, wound healing, angiogenesis and inflammation. At present, the role of THBS2 in tumorigenesis, development, and prognosis is not completely clear. Exploring the abnormal expression and mechanism of THBS2 in tumors is expected to provide a new method for tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To establish the X-ray standard was used to calibrate Hp(3) dosimeter in order to satisfy the requirement of eye-lens dose equivalents for the radiological occupational staff.Methods:The conventional values (Hp(3)) on the reference point of the narrow beams of X-ray fields were obtained by means of the product of air kerma (Kair) and the conversion coefficients (hp(3,ɑ)) recommended by ICRP116 recommendation. And these researches can be used by standard ionization chamber dosimeter. Finally, provided the conventional true value Hp(3) at calibrate point.Results:The standards and calibration program of calibrations eye-lens dose equivalent dosimeter were established under the X-ray radiation field. The detection error between slab phantom recommended by ISO and head phantom recommended by the 116th publication of ICRP was lower when the TLD was used to detect result.Conclusions:The standards for calibration Hp(3) dosimeters can satisfy the requirement of calibration for radiological occupational staff. It also provides theoretical foundation for detection data that assessed Hp(3) dosimeters and then improves trace ability and reliability of detection data of Hp(3) in national radiation supervision and inspection network.

Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of human epididymis protein 4(HE4) ,carbohydrate an‐tigen 199(CA199) and carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125) in diagnosis of ovarian cancer and benign ovarian cysts .Methods The se‐rum levels of HE4 ,CA125 and CA199 were determined by using chemiluminescent immunoassay in 45 cases of patients with ovarian cancer(ovarian cancer group) ,60 cases of patients with benign ovarian cyst(benign disease group) ,and 30 cases of healthy individu‐al(control group) .Results The serum levels of HE4 ,CA199 and CA125 in the ovarian cancer group were higher than those in the ovarian cancer group and control group ,there were statistically significant differences(P<0 .05) .Compared with the control group , the serum level of CA125 in benign disease group was significantly higher(P<0 .05) ,while no statistically significant differences of serum levels of HE4 and CA199 were observed between the two groups(P>0 .05) .The sensitivity of combined detection of the three indicators increased to 82 .2% ,and the specificity remained at 90 .0% .Conclusion Combined detection of HE4 ,CA125 and CA199 might have clinical significance in early diagnosis and identification of ovarian cancer .

Objective To establish a method for reducing the dose to the eye lens of interventional staff,and provide the data basis for improving radiological protection measures.Methods One piece of interventional equipment coupled with conventional auxiliary protective devices and two types of common neural interventional procedures were selected to monitor 46 and 35 procedures before and after the device modification.The doses to the eye lens of staff were measured with direct-reading dosimeters for analysis of dose trends.Results After modification of the devices,the average dose to the left eye lens decreased from (9.71 ±10.86) to (3.23 ±5.59) μSv for the first operator,from (9.51 ± 12.34) to (0.68 ± 0.78) μSv for the second in cerebral angiography;whereas the dose decreased from (14.83 ± 19.13) to (4.17±4.59) for the first operator and from (14.12±21.76) to (1.23 ±1.57)μSv for the second in embolization procedure,respectively.The left eye lens doses measured before and after the modification showed significant difference (U =-2.760,-2.467,-1.967,-2.655,P <0.05).Conclusions The modification of the auxiliary radiological protective devices may effectively reduce the dose to the eye lens dose.This method was shown to be feasible for the improvement of radiological protection of interventional staff.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effection of acupuncture using Xingnao Kaiqiao needling method and rehabilitation training on patients with stroke.Methods70 patients with stroke were randomly divided into the observation group(n=35)and the control group(n=35), both groups receiving routine treatment and early rehabilitation training, while acupuncture using Xingnao Kaiqiao needling method was given additionally to the observation group, 4 weeks for a course. The Fugl-Meyer Assessment, assessment of neurological deficit, the Barthel Index and the clinical effect were compared among two groups.ResultsThe neurological deficit decreased obviously, and the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Barthel Index increased significantly in two groups after the treatment(P<0.05). The theraputic effect was significantly better in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture using Xingnao Kaiqiao needling method combined with rehabilitation training can more effectively promote the recovery of nerve function, enhance motor function, and significantly improve the quality of life and the prognosis of patients with stroke.
