Acta Nutrimenta Sinica 1956;0(03):-
In order to compare the effect of megadoses of vitamin B6 and C on serum lipids and atheroscleosis, 25 New Zealand strain rabbits (male) fed high cholesterol diet every day were divided into four groups.Group A as control, received only cholesterol diet. 125mg.kg-1.d-1 of vitamin B6 was given to group B, 500mg.kg-1.d-1 of vitamin C to group C, and 125mg.kg-1.d-1 vitamin B6+500 mg.kg-1.d-1 vitamin C to group D, all by oral administration. Fasting serum was sampled at 2-week intervals during a 10-week experimental period. After 10 weeks, killed all the rab- bits, check their urethrae and determined the vitamin C content of the adrenal glands. The aorta was examined by measuring the size of plaques OR aorta wall and investigated pathologically.The results were (1) The body weight increased in every group gave no remarkable difference. (2) Serum total-cholesterol (TC) of group B was apparently lower than group A at 8th week (P
2.Fluorescence in situ hybridization in multiple myeloma
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(9):703-706
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of the plasma cells, characterized by complex karyotype and chromosome instability. These cytogenetic changes are important prognostic indicators in MM patients. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) can analyze a large number of interphase cells without metaphase. It is simple, reproducible, highly sensitive and specific. It has more prominent advantages in the research of MM without informative metaphase. FISH can detect microdeletions in genetic loci that are closely related to disease prognosis, therefore significantly improves the abnormal clone detection rate. FISH provides a theoretical foundation for the diagnosis, clinical classification and prognosis prediction, and can guide the personalized therapy of MM.

9.Clinical observation of eucalyptol-limonene-pinene enteric soft capsule in chronic sinusitis during perioperative period
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(15):6-10
Objective To observe the application effect of the eucalyptol-limonene-pinene enteric soft capsule in chronic sinusitis during perioperative period.Methods Analyzed 576 cases of nasal endoscopic surgery for chronic sinusitis patients.According to diagnostic criteria (Haikou in 1997),patients with type Ⅰ (without nasal polyps) had 318 cases (group A),patients with type Ⅱ and Ⅲ (with nasal polyps) had 258 cases (group B).Then patients in each group were respectively numbered by hospitalized order.According to the single and double number,they were divided into two groups:treatment group A (159cases) and control group A (159 cases),treatment group B (129 cases) and control group B (129 cases).Patients in the treatment group A and B were treated with the eucalyptol-limonene-pinene enteric soft capsule before operation.Patients in the control group A and B were not taking any mucus cilium scavenger before operation.The follow-up was lasted for 1 year for four groups.Subjective symptoms were assessed by visual analog scale (VAS) score.The changes and outcomes of nasal mucosa were evaluated objectively by LundKennedy endoscopic mucosal morphology score.Then the results were analyzed statistically.Results VAS score:compared treatment group A with control group A,score differences were statistically significant in 4,12 and 24 weeks after operation [(9.56 ± 5.23) scores vs.(16.21 ± 5.78) scores,(6.24 ± 4.05) scores vs.(10.36 ±4.77) scores,(5.08 ± 3.35) scores vs.(6.23 ±4.10) scores](P< 0.05),but it was no significant difference in 48 weeks after operation (P > 0.05) ; compared treatment group B with control group B,score differences were statistically significant in 4,12 and 24 weeks after operation [(13.34 ± 6.28) scores vs.(17.62 ±5.98) scores,(8.08 ±5.56) scores vs.(12.59 ±5.70) scores,(6.12 ±4.80) scores vs.(8.79 ± 5.04) scores](P< 0.05),but it was no significant difference in 48 weeks after operation (P> 0.05).LundKennedy endoscopic mucosal morphology score:the differences between treatment group A and control group A in 4 and 12 weeks after operation were statistically significant [(3.44 ± 1.96) scores vs.(5.82 ± 1.74)scores,(3.03 ± 1.87) scores vs.(5.08 ± 1.96) scores] (P < 0.05),but no statistical significance in 24 and 48 weeks after operation (P > 0.05) ; compared treatment group B with control group B,the scores in 4,12 and 24 weeks after operation were significantly different[(6.15 ± 1.99) scores vs.(7.52 ± 2.04) scores,(4.80 ± 2.12) scores vs.(6.92 ± 1.57) scores,(2.53 ± 2.32) scores vs.(4.12 ± 1.72) scores] (P < 0.05),but no obvious difference in 48 weeks after operation (P > 0.05).The cure rate of treatment group A was 98.11% (156/159),control group A was 87.42% (139/159),treatment group B was 94.57% (122/129) and control group B was 79.84% (103/129),there was significant difference on cure rate between treatment group and control group (P< 0.05).The mucosal healing's time in treatment group A and B were significantly shorter than those in control group A and B [(9.62 ± 1.12) weeks vs.(12.35 ± 2.46) weeks,(13.37 ± 1.84) weeks vs.(17.28 ± 3.83) weeks] (P < 0.05).Conclusions These indicated that the dry scab in surgical cavity of patients with mucus cilium scavenger was less and easy to clean,and postoperative recovery time of patients was short.So the mucus cilium scavenger can obviously improve the secretion of mucosa and epithelial recovery,thus accelerate healing of the disease.It can also improve the success rate of functional endoscope sinus surgery,and may play a promising role in clinical application.
10.Mechanisms and challenges in joint application of radiotherapy and cancer immunotherapy
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(9):547-550
The effects of radiotherapy (RT) on the survival of cancer patients are interpreted as a consequence of the improved lo-cal control of tumors that directly decrease systemic spreading. Some of the effects of ionizing radiation are recognized as a contribu-tion to systemic antitumor immunity, which can provide sufficient evidence for proposing a paradigm shift. Recent examples of objec-tive responses achieved by adding radiotherapy to immunotherapy in metastatic cancer patients support this view. Preclinical data indi-cate that RT can convert irradiated tumor into an in situ individualized vaccine and potentiate the systemic efficacy of immunotherapy, whereas activation of the innate and adaptive immune system can enhance the local efficacy of RT. This study summarizes key evi-dence that support the role of radiotherapy as an immune adjuvant and some of the current challenges in translating this knowledge for clinical use.
