1.Research progress of primary extramedullary plasmacytoma
Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(2):138-140
Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor characterized by proliferation of monoclonal plasma cells,often occurs in the head and neck,followed by gastrointestinal and skin.Diagnosis is based on biopsy,which is the only accurate and reliable method.EMP is needed to discriminate with similar diseases.Radiotherapy is the preferred treatment method of EMP,because it has a higher radiation sensitivity.Sometime we can choose comprehensive treatment because of illness need.Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is not as the preferred treatment option because of transplant rejection.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the contradictions existing during the time when a drugstore pharmacist is doing his duty.METHOD:The existing contradictions were analyzed.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:Pharmacists should be educated to solve the contradictions and strengthen propaganda;The evaluating system should be strictly enforced,and the registered pharmacists should be strictly evaluated;Surveillance should be strengthened and the regular supervising system should be established.
8.TNF-α expression induced by NF-κB in pulmonary intravascular macrophages of rats with hepatopulmo-nary syndrome and the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate on the expression
Clinical Medicine of China 2008;24(10):993-996
Objective To study the expression of both nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)and tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α)in pulmonary intravascular macrophages(PIM)of rats with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS)and the effect of pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(PDTC)on their expression.Methods The Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were randomly divided into four groups:control,control+PDTC1CCl4,CCl4+PDTC groups.Arterial blood was collected for measurement of blood gas.Venous blood was sampled for hepatic function and endotoxin level.The mesenteric lymph nodes were dissected for bacteriology studies.Proteins of NF-κB and TNF-a of lung tissue were examined by immunohistochemistry.The activity of NF-κB in lung tissues was measured using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA).By real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCB)using SYBR Green I,the mRNA expression of TNF-α in lung tissues were detected.Results CCl4 group developed HPS with decreased PaO2 and PaCO2,increased alveolar-arterial oxygen difference(A-aDO2),abnormal hepatic function and increased endotoxin level.Culture-positive mes-enteric lymph nodes were found in 62.5%(5/8)of CCl4,group and 66.7%(6/9)of CCl4+PDTC group(P>0.05 J.All lungs from CCl4 and CCl4+PDTC group showed no accumulation of larse mononuclear macrophagelike cells within the lumen of numerous small muscular and nonnulscular pulmonary vessels.The percentages of vessels with more than 1O adherent macrophages was 60.8%(292/480)in CCl4 group but only 19.6%(106/540)in CCl4+PDTC group(P<0.01).The protein expression of NF-κB and TNF-α Was localized to PIM in CCl4 group.The NF-κB activity and mRNA expression of TNF-α in CCl4 group was significantly higher than that in control,con-trol+PDTC group and CCl4+PDTC group(P<0.05).Conclusion The TNF-α expression in PIM induced by NF-κB play an important role in HPS.The inhibitor of NF-κB PDTC can repress PIM activation and decrease the ex-pression of TNF-α.As result.HPS severity is reduced.
9.The clinical efifcacy of Matrine injection on malignant cancer pain treatment
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;(2):104-105
Objective To evaluate the clinical efifcacy of Matrine injection on malignant cancer pain treatment. Methods 100 patients in Central Hospital of Huanggang from February 2010 to April 2013 were randomly divided into two groups(control group and research group) for retrospective study(n=50). Based on the conventional treatment, control group were received three-step analgesic ladder, and research group were treated with matrine injections. The pain scores and Karn of sky scores were evaluated and compared before and after treatment in each group, and were compared between two groups. Results The pain score and Karn of sky score in research group after treatment were signiifcantly better than control group(P<0.05). Conclusion Matrine injection could relief pain level and improve patients' quality of life of malignant cancer patient.
10.Expression and clinical significance of methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 in pancreas cancer and surrounding tissue
Chinese Journal of Pancreatology 2021;21(2):112-116
Objective:To investigate the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) expression in specimens of pancreas cancer tumor and para-cancerous tissues and its prognostic value.Methods:The tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry were used to examine the MeCP2 expression in 59 cases of pancreatic cancer tumor tissues and 53 adjacent normal tissues. The correlation between the MeCP2 expression and clinicopathological characteristics of pancreas cancer patients was analyzed. Furthermore, the survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression hazards model was used to study the prognostic value of MeCP2 expression in pancreas cancer.Results:The MeCP2 positive expression rate in 59 pancreas cancer tumor tissues was 47.5%, which was 67.9% in 53 adjacent tissues. The MeCP2 positive expression rate in adjacent tissues was obviously higher than that in pancreatic cancer tissues, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The MeCP2 positive expression was significantly associated with pathological grade and lymph node metastasis(both P<0.05). The overall survival in patients positive for the MeCP2 expression was longer than that in those with negative MeCP2 expression( P<0.05). Cox multivariate analysis demonstrated that the level of MeCP2 expression was an independent predictor for prognosis in patients with pancreas cancer. Conclusions:MeCP2 is obviously positively expressed in para-cancerous tissues, but was lowly expressed in pancreatic cancer, indicating that MeCP2 detection can help to evaluate the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients.
