Objective To explore the synergistic effectiveness of hyperthermia and chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.Methods Eighty-nine patients with advanced gastric cancer were randomly assigned to a study group which received a CapeOx chemotherapy regimen supplemented with hyperthermia or to a control group which received only the CapeOx regimen.The regimen consisted of capecitabine (1000 mg/m2,bid,orally for 14 consecutive days) plus oxalipaltin (130 mg/m2) on day 1.The hyperthermia was at 43℃ for 60 min in the tumor area on day 1 and twice a week thereafter.One cycle was 21 days.After 2 treatment cycles,efficacy was evaluated according to RECIST standards,improvements in the quality of life were assessed according to Karnofsky's performance status (KPS) and the side-effects of therapy were recorded.Results The response rate was 68.9% in the study group and 36.4% in the control group,showing a significant difference between the groups after two treatment cycles.The median progress-free survival (PFS) was 8.3 months in the study group vs 5.2 months for the controls.The 1-year survival rate was 66.4% vs 45.5% and the rate of improvement in KPS was 77.8% vs 45.5%.All these differences were statistically significant.The common adverse effects were gastrointestinal toxicity,marrow depression and peripheral nerve abnormalities,but these adverse effects were all mild and similar in the two groups.Conclusion Hyperthermia when combined with the CapeOx chemotherapy regimen might improve the therapeutic effect in advanced gastric cancer without obviously increasing the adverse effects.

Objective: To develop adriamycin liposome (AL) , adriamycin long circulating liposome (ALCL) and adriamycin long circulating temprerature-sensitive liposome ( ALTSL) and to study their anti-tumor effects on tumor-bearing mice. Methods: The antitumor activity was observed using the tumor weight as index. The life prolongation rate of mice was calculated according to the tumor-bearing mice survival time. The tissue distribution of adriamycin was determined by HPLC method. Tumor, heart, liver and kidney tissue of the tumor-bearing mice, were sliced and prepared to observe the tissue pathology differences. Results: Compared with free adriamycin, the anti-tumor effects of ALCL and ALTSL were remarkably increased. Their tumor growth inhibitory rates were 57. 8% and 67. 0% respectively. The study of pharmacoki-netics indicated that the adriamycin concentrations were remarkably higher in tumor tissue and blood,lower in heart and lung tissue of ALCL and ALTSL groups when compared with the free ADM group; The pathology slices indicated that tumor cells in the ALTSL group with hyperthermia were mostly destroyed; the cardiac muscle cells in the ALTSL group were similar to the normal cardiac muscle. Conclusion: ALCL and ALTSL remarkably increased the adriamycin concentration on the tumor site, significantly enhanced the anti-tumor effects, decreased the side-effects (such as cytotoxicity) when compared with free ADM, they also significantly prolonged the survival time of the tumor-bearing mice.

Objective To detect the change of exoression level of plasma microRNA‐21(miR‐21) and TGF‐β1 in cardiac remode‐lin affer acute myocardial infarction(AMI) of the pateins .Methods 200 pateints with AMI and 100 normal controls(age ,sex matched) were enrolled .Blood samples were obtained from the normal controls and patients with AMI on the 3 days ,7 days and 14 days .Real‐time PCR was developed to detect the expression of miR‐21 and TGF‐β1 in plasma .Results The expression of miR‐21 was significantly up‐regulation in the 3 days ,7 days and 14 days in MI group than that cntrol group ,0 .74 ± 0 .21 vs .2 .62 ± 0 .23 , vs .3 .67 ± 0 .25 ,vs .4 .13 ± 0 .27 up‐regulation in the 3 days ,7 days and 14 days in MI group than that cntrol group ,0 .98 ± 0 .18 vs .2 .35 ± 0 .24 ,vs .3 .67 ± 0 .25 ,vs .4 .13 ± 0 .27 ,P<0 .05 ,respectively .The expression of miR‐21 and TGF‐β1 were up‐regulation with the change of cardiac function .Positive relationship between miRNA‐21 expression and LVDd (r=0 .757 ,P<0 .05);Positive relationship between TGF‐β1 mRNA expression and LVDd(r=0 .701 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion The expression of miR‐21 and TGF‐β1 were up‐regulation in cardiac remodelin affer AMI of the pateins ,which involved in regulation in cardiac remodelin affer AMI .

Objective:To explore the posttraumatic growth of first stroke patients and analyze its dynamic development trajectory.Methods:From January to December 2022, 180 stroke patients admitted to Xinxiang Central Hospital were selected as research subjects by convenience sampling. The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) score was dynamically evaluated at the end of the first month (M 1), second month (M 2), third month (M 3), fourth month (M 4), fifth month (M 5), and sixth month (M 6) of onset. The latent class growth model (LCGM) was used to analyze the developmental trajectory categories, and multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of posttraumatic growth trajectory categories. Results:A total of 180 questionnaires were distributed, and 177 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 98.33% (177/180). Within six months, the patient's PTGI score gradually increased, with the lowest PTGI score (29.11±5.65) at M 1 and the highest proportion of low-level growth, accounting for 85.31% (151/177). At M 6, the PTGI score was (42.14±13.04), and the proportion of low-level growth was 40.68% (72/177). Two latent categories of posttraumatic growth, namely sustained low growth type and growth improvement type, were identified, with 72 cases of sustained low growth type and 105 cases of growth improvement type. Gender ( OR=2.648, P=0.008), age ( OR=1.055, P=0.002), education level ( OR=6.403, P<0.001), and stroke type ( OR=2.863, P=0.014) were the influencing factors for posttraumatic growth trajectories among stroke patients. Conclusions:Post traumatic growth in stroke patients is a dynamic state of change, with low overall levels and a common type of sustained low growth. There may be differences in the sociodemographic and disease characteristics of patients with different types of posttraumatic growth trajectories, providing reference for the development of clinical nursing strategies, but further research is still needed.
