Objective:To observe the clinical effect of internal administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and external application of hot election bag combined with acupuncture on urinary retention after stroke with kidney qi deficiency type.Methods:A total of 106 patients admitted to Chengde Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2020 who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the random number table method, with 53 in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy and bladder function training, while the observation group was treated with TCM, acupuncture and external application on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 28 days. Before and after treatment, TCM syndrome scores were performed, and the maximum urinary capacity and residual urine volume were recorded by abdominal B-ultrasound to evaluate the bladder function of the patients. The improvement time of urinary pain, first urination time, catheter indwelling time, length of hospital stay and adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated.Results:The total effective rate was 96.2% (51/53) in the observation group and 84.9% (45/53) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=3.98, P=0.046). The residual urine volume of the observation group after treatment [(54.23±6.23) ml vs. (91.24±11.25) ml, t=20.95] was significantly lower than that of the control group ( P<0.01), and the maximum urinary bladder volume [(366.23±30.23) ml vs. (259.63±26.23) ml, t=19.39] was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.01). After treatment, the TCM syndrome score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=13.25, P<0.01), and the bladder function score of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=13.53, P<0.01). The improvement time of urinary pain, first urination time, catheter indwelling time and hospital stay in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t=5.73, 17.91, 6.76, 9.67, all Ps <0.01). No adverse reactions occurred in the two groups during treatment. Conclusion:The combination of TCM, hot compress therapy and acupuncture plus routine therapy can treat the patients with urinary retention after stroke and kidney qi deficiency type with good bladder function, improved symptoms and fast recovery and safety.

Objective:To investigate the effect of ubiquitin binding enzyme 2T (UBE2T) on the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma and unravel its possible mechanism.Methods:A total of 45 patients pathologically diagnosed with different stages of lung adenocarcinoma and treated with radiotherapy in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from March, 2019 to December, 2021 were enrolled, and the efficacy was evaluated according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST1.1). All patients were divided into radiosensitive group ( n=25) and radioresistant group ( n=20). Radiosensitive group was complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR), and radioresistant group was stable disease (SD) + progression disease (PD). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to calculate the score based on the staining intensity and the number of positive cells. Chi-square test was combined to analyze the correlation between the expression level of UBE2T in paraffin specimens of lung adenocarcinoma patients and the radiosensitivity of patients. Lentivirus UBE2T-interfered (UBE2Tsh) A549 and UBE2T-overexpressed SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells and their respective controls were constructed for irradiation and colony formation assay. The survivor fraction curve was fitted by single-hit multi-target model. The DNA double-strand break (DSB) marker γH2AX foci were detected by immunofluorescence (IF). The expression levels of UBE2T, γH 2AX and Rad51 proteins were detected by Western blot. Cell cycle and apoptosis rate of A549 were determined by flow cytometry. Binary variables were statistically analyzed by Fisher's exact probability method and measurement data were assessed by t-test. Results:High-expression level of UBE2T was correlated with the radiosensitivity of lung adenocarcinoma patients ( P<0.05). UBE2Tsh improved the radiosensitivity of A549 lung adenocarcinoma cells, and the sensitizing enhancement ratio (SER) was 1.795. UBE2T overexpression decreased the radiosensitivity of SPC-A-1 lung adenocarcinoma cells with an SER of 0.293. γH2AX foci number per cell were significantly increased in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after irradiation ( P<0.01) . Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was up-regulated ( P<0.01)and that of Rad51 protein was down-regulated in UBE2Tsh A549 cells after radiation ( P<0.001). Compared with the control group, the expression level of γH2AX protein was down-regulated ( P<0.05) and that of Rad51 protein was up-regulated in UBE2T overexpressed SPC-A-1 cells ( P<0.001). The proportion of UBE2Tsh A549 cells in G 2 phase was decreased ( P<0.01) and cell apoptosis was increased ( P<0.001). Conclusions:UBE2T might promote the radioresistance of lung adenocarcinoma cells by enhancing DNA DSB repair induced by radiotherapy, inducing cell cycle G 2 phase arrest, and reducing cell apoptosis.
