Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of the patients with lung cancer hospital-ized in affiliated hospital of Hainan Medical College.Methods A retrospective study was performed from January 1st 2005 to December 31th 2009 in the Hospital.201 patients were enrolled in this study.Results The average onset age of patients with lung cancer was 66 years old.No difference in different gender.The incidence of male was 72.1%, which was higher than of female(27.9%).Male to female ratio was 2.6:1.70.3% of male patients with lung cancer had a history of smoking.146 cases(72.6%)were diagnosed by clinical data,only 55 cases(27.4%)were diagnosed by histopathology.134 cases(66.7%)hadn′t indications for surgery.only 17 cases(25.4%)agreed to have surgery among 67 cases (33.3%)with indications for surgery,50 cases(74.6%)didn't agree to have surgery.34 cases (16.9%)had no indications for chemotherapy.40 cases(24.0%)agreed to have chemotherapy among 167 cases (83.1%)with indications for chemotherapy,but only 14 cases(35.0%)had completed 4 to 6 cycles of chemotherapy, and 26 cases(65.0%)hadn't completed 4 to 6 cycles.8 cases(4.0%)agreed to have radiotherapy.3 cases(1.5%) agreed to have targeted therapy.3 cases (1.5%)transfered to other hospital.Conclusion The ratio of lung cancer patients in male is higher than female in the hospital.smoking is closely related to male patients.Clinical diagnosis rate of patients is high,whereas histopathologic diagnosis rate is low.The rate of the intervention that patients accepted is low and many patients give up available management after the diagnosis is made.

Objective To investigate the anti-migratory and anti-invasive effect of somatostatin receptor type 2(SSTR2) gene transfection mediated by adenovirus in human pancreatic carcinoma cell and the mechanisms involved in this effect.Methods The full length human SSTR2 cDNA was introduced into pancreatic cancer cell line BXPC-3 by adenovirus-mediated transfection,and stable expression of RNA and protein of SSTR2 were detected by RT-PCR and Westen-blot.The Matrigel coated Transwell was used to detect the migratory and invasive ability of SSTR2expressing cells,Adv-GFP control cells and mock control cells.Furthermore,the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2(TIMP-2) were detected by RT-PCR method in these cells.Results The stable expression of SSTR2 was detected in BXPC-3 cells transfected by Adv-GFP-SSTR2.A dramatic decrease of BXPC-3 expressing SSTR2 cell(migrated) through a Matrigel-coated filter was observed,as compared with Adv-GFP control cells and mock control cells(P

Objective To observe the effect of antisense hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?) on (chemosensitivity) of human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 under hypoxia. Methods BxPC-3 cells were divided into 3 groups:(1)BxPC-3 cells were non-transfected with antisense HIF-1? plasmid and exposed to 0.5% O_2 for 4hr(hypoxia control);(2)normoxic BxPC-3 cells were non-transfected with antisense(HIF-1?) plasmid(normoxia control);(3)BxPC-3 cells were transfected with antisense HIF-1? plasmid and exposed to 0.5% O_2 for 4hr(experimental group).Expression of HIF-1? and survivin was detected by RT-PCR and Western Blot.Growth inhibition rates and apoptosis rates of BxPC-3 cells under different(dosages) of chemotherapeutic agents(5-fluorouracil,doxorubicin and gemcitabine) were measured by MTT(colorimetric) assay and flow cytometry (FCM).Results Expression of HIF-1? was obviously down-regulated and at the same time susvivin expression was markedly down-regulated in experimental group(P

OBJECTIVETo explore methods and clinical effects of composite external fixtor in treating adult patients with unstable middle 1/3 of clavicular fractures.

METHODSFrom March 2008 to March 2011,36 patients with unstable middle 1/3 of clavicular fractures were treated with composite external fixtor. There were 24 males and 12 females, aged from 18 to 55 years old with an average of 43 years old. Twenty cases on the left side and 16 cases on the right side. Time from injury to operation was 2 to 6 days (averaged 3.5 days). According to Robinson classification, there were 7 cases with type 2A2, 18 cases with type 2B1, and 11 cases with type 2B2. No vessels and nerve damage occurred before opreation. The clinical effects were evaluated according to Neer scoring.

RESULTSAll cases were followed up from 6 to 12 months with an average of 8 months. The mean Neer score was 88.3 +/- 6.2, which included pain 31.6 +/- 3.2, functional score 25.7 +/- 2.2, range of motion score 21.1 +/- 1.7, and anatomy score 8.8 +/- 0.8. There were 22 cases in excellent, good in 13, fair in 1. Two cases occurred pin tract infection.

CONCLUSIONComposite external fixtor is an optional method in treating unstable middle 1/3 of clavicular fracture, and can obtain a good clinical effects.

Objective Based on the observation of the changes of symptoms, histopathology, visceral sensitivity, mast cell activation, autophagy, and Beclin-1 and Claudin-2 expression in rats, we established and evaluated a new rat model of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) induced by restraint-stress combined with capsaicin (CAP) administration.Methods Forty healthy 5-week old male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group I, model group II and model group III, with 10 rats in each group.The D-IBS model was established by restraint-stress combined with intragastric administration of CAP (2 mL/100 g body weight, 0.125% in group I, 0.250% in group II, 0.500% in group III), tail clipping and forelimb restriction for 30 minutes every day for 2 weeks.The rats in the control group were treated with saline for 2 weeks.The number of contraction of abdominal wall and arched back were measured by Power Lab instrument.The mast cell activation was detected using aldehyde-magenta-orange G staining.Light and electron microscopic examinations were performed to detect the morphology and autophagy of colonic tissues.The expressions of Beclin-1 and Claudin-2 in the colonic mucosa were detected by streptavidin-biotin complex (SABC) immunohistochemical staining.Results All rats in the model group III died during the experiment.Compared with the control group and model group I, the stool frequency was increased and the visceral sensitivity threshold decreased in the model group II, and there were statistically significant differences between the model group II and the control and model groups I (P < 0.05).The colonic mucosa, mucosal epithelium and glands in each group showed normal morphology and there was no submucosal vasodilatation and diffuse inflammatory cell infiltration.Except for the control group, round purple-reddish staining spots were observed in the rat mucosal stroma or submucosa in the model groups I and II, indicating an increased expression of mast cells.The autophagy, expressions of Beclin-1 and Claudin-2 in the colonic epithelium were significantly increased in the model group II compared with control group and model group I (P< 0.05).Conclusions The model of D-IBS induced by restraint-stress combined with capsaicin is characterized by increased diarrhea, visceral hypersensitivity, increased mast cell expression and autophagy of intestinal epithelial cells, and disruption of the intestinal mucosal barrier.This model is simple to set up and shows similar symptoms of human irritable bowel syndrome.Therefore, it is worthy of popularization and application.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors of having clinical meaningful recanalization (CMR)after revascularization therapy in acute phase of ischemic stroke. Methods A total of 267 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology,Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University and received intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular intervention in acute stage from March 2011 and March 2015 were enrolled retrospectively. CMR was used as a primary endpoint event. They were divided into either a CMR group (n = 92)or a non-CMR group (n = 175)according to whether they had CMR. The baseline data of the patients in both groups were compared by using the Rank sum test and Pearson Chi-Square test. A multivariate logistic regression model was established to analyze the independent influencing factor of CMR. Results The median (interquartile range)age of 267 patents was 60 (51 -69)years,and 69 of them were females (25. 8%);the median (interquartile range)time from onset to treatment was 250 (195 -305)min,and the median (interquartile range)NIHSS score was 10 (6 -15). The baseline NIHSS score,body mass index,blood glucose level,and proportion of diabetes of the CMR group were significantly lower than those of the non-CMR group (all P≤0. 05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the baseline NIHSS (OR,0. 93,95% CI 0. 88 -0. 98;P = 0. 01),intravenous thrombolysis (with respect to endovascular intervention)(OR,0. 35, 95% CI 0. 17 -0. 73;P = 0. 01),and baseline blood glucose (OR,0. 87;95% CI 0. 77 -0. 98;P =0. 02)were the independent negative predictors of CMR. Conclusion The baseline NIHSS,intravenous thrombolysis (with respect to endovascular intervention),and high blood glucose are the negative influencing factors for achieving CMR in the acute phase of ischemic stroke,suggesting blood sugar intervention and endovascular intervention in acute phase may contribute to the improvement of clinical prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of integrin-?1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide(ASODN) on(human) pancreatic cancinoma transplanted subcutaneously in nude mice.Methods The models of human(pancreatic) cancinoma transplanted subcutaneously were established in nude mice,then divided randomly into 3 groups and different treatment was given respectively(control group,random oligodeoxynucleotide group and ASODN group).After treatment,the weight of nude mice and tumor volume were observed,and the tumor growth inhibitory rate and the tumor response rate were calculated.The expressions of integrin-?1 mRNA and protein in tumor tissue were determined by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Results The tumor growth inhibitory rate in the random oligodexynucleotide group and the ASODN group was 4.75% and 72.70%,respectively.The tumor decrease rate of the ASODN group was 10.91%.The expression level of integrin-?1 mRNA and protein was decreased in the ASODN group compared with other 2 control groups. Conclusions Our findings suggest that integrin-?1 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides result in marked inhibition of human pancreatic(cancinoma) growth in nude mice.It may be a novel treatment approach for human pancreatic carcinoma.

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVETo study the mRNA expression of glucocorticoid receptor(GR) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and its clinical significance. METHODSReal-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect GRα mRNA and GRβ mRNA exprssion in PBMC of 30 male patients with moderate to severe OSAHS and 27 healthy male subjects. The relationships between the expression of glucocorticoid receptor mRNA and the apnea hypopnea index, body mass index, neck circumference, waist circumference, the lowest oxygen saturation, the average oxygen saturation, the Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) score, fasting blood glucose, heart rate and blood pressure were analyzed.RESULTSCompared with the control group, the expression level of GRα mRNA was lower in the OSAHS group(t=2.25,P<0.05) and the expression level of GRβmRNA had no difference between the two groups(t=1.43, P>0.05). We had not found the significant correlation between the expression of GRα mRNA and the clinical parameters above in OSAHS patients.CONCLUSIONThe expression of GRα mRNA in PBMC in moderate to severe OSAHS male patients have a downward trend compared with healthy group, but the mechanism remains unclear.
