Intermedin can promote tumor angiogenesis through a variety of signaling pathways. Hypoxia of tumor cells can induce an increased expression of intermedin. Recently, there have been a surge of researches on the relation between intermedin and tumor initiation, progression and metastasis. Intermedin may be a new target for tumor therapy.

Objective To explore the correlation between anemia and the pathogenesis and prognosis of patients with lung cancer. Methods From January 2013 to December 2014, 257 patients with primary lung cancer who were firstly treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data of the patients were collected and the patients were divided into anemia group and control group. The relationship of gender, age, and pathogenesis with anemia was analyzed by x 2 test. Survival analysis was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank test. Results The TNM stage, lymph nodes and remote metastasis , and ECOG score between the two groups were statistically different (x 2 values were 7.94, 4.97, 4.69, 9.02, all P< 0.05). The survival of the two groups showed statistical differences (x2=7.02, P=0.008). Conclusion Anemia might be correlated with the stage, lymph nodes and remote metastasis, ECOG score and prognosis of patients with lung cancer.

Acquired resistance of EGFR-TKIs has become the major limitation of the efficacy of targeted therapy for lung cancer. Lung cancer has been treated by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with EGFR-TKIs, which originated from clinic. In recent years, reversing research has been conducted based on clinic application to discuss TCM intervening, improving and reversing EGFR-TKIs acquired resistance becoming a novel target for research. This article reviewed mechanism and effects of TCM herbs and compounds’ with the efficacy of clearing away heat and toxic materials, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis strengthening the body resistance, and invigorating the circulation of blood, and proposed that the whole regulation and targeted therapy of TCM may carry out synergistic effect and become innovation treatment model for lung cancer.

Incisional hernia is open a major postoperative complication that abdominal surgery remains. The incision type, suture technique, and the choice of primary suture materials are the main factors affecting wound healing. Prophylactic subfascial non-absorbable mesh can be used in high-risk patients to prevent in-cisional hernia.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) was characterized as a powerful vasoconstrictor and mitogen for smooth muscle. ET-1 binds to two types of receptors: ET_ A-R and ET_ B-R. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PH) is a severe condition characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance. The Endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension. PH can be treated by antagonism of ET-1.

Objective] Inquire Sun Simiao’s arthralgia syndrome related theory and drug laws in Essential Recipes for Emergent Use, with a view to a more comprehensive understanding of arthralgia to broaden the train of thought, improve the clinical efficacy. [Methods] Read Essential Recipes for Emergent Use book, combined with knowledge of Chinese medicine, to study involved arthralgia syndrome theory and relevant prescriptions and drugs for statistical summary. [Results] Sun Simiao believed arthromyodynia causes included three cold wet gas, kidney, heat etc. The use of medicine in treatment of arthralgia syndrome of wind;pay attention to helping Yang deficiency. Arthromyodynia for different symptoms and disease drug use had their own unique experience. [Conclusion] Sun Simiao’s Essential Recipes for Emergent Use content is rich, extensive and profound, its treatment of Bi syndrome has quite academic value, today, the therapeutic theory for treatment of clinical syndrome has still an important guiding significance.

Surgery in combination with chemotherapy and radiotherapy is the standard of lung cancer treatment,but postoperative recurrence is very common which usually leads to higher mortality and lower life quality. Immunotherapy on post-operative patients fully mobilizes the body's defense mechanisms,activates the immune cells,and kills residual cancer cells. Current research on lung cancer immunotherapy mainly includes four categories:adoptive immunotherapy,dendritic cell vaccine,non-specific antigen immune therapy and anti-gen-specific vaccine. These studies show lung cancer immunotherapy intervention can effectively reduce postop-erative residual cancer cells,reduce postoperative recurrence rate,prolong survival,significantly improve the prognosis,and is worth spreading in clinical practice.

Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid. With the further researches on Glutamine, most of the studies demonstrated that glutamine supplements may reduce the severity of side effects and increases the selectivity of therapy for the tumor in oncology therapy while enhancing immune function. Glutamine supplements is safe and effective in cancer therapy, having a good application prospect.

Melanoma-associated antigen MAGE-A3 is expressed in various types of tumors,but not in normal cells except testis and placenta.MAGE-A3 can be presented by both HLA class I and HLA class II molecules after being processed into antigen peptide.MAGE-A3 has recently been widely used in the diagnosis and immunotherapy of tumors.This article reviews the applications of MAGE-A3 in the diagnosis and immunotherapy of tumors.

Objective To study the change of cytokines in gastric mucosa of mice with Helicobacter pylori infection and explore the immune mechanism .Methods Twenty‐four 8-10 weeks‐old BALB/c mice were randomly divided into observation group and control group .After first 12 hours of fasting ,observation group was given 0 .5 mL/d Helicobacter pylori bacterial liquid with con‐centration of 2 × 109 CFU/mL for 7 consecutive days .The control group was fed with 0 .5 mL/d saline for 7 consecutive days .Then the mice were infected with Helicobacter pylori gast model was established .Using Real‐time PCR to detect the expressions of IFN‐γ ,TNF‐α,IL‐8 and IL‐10 in murine plasma within 2 ,4 weeks after infection .And after 4 weeks of infection ,mice were sacrificed , and their stomach tissue sterile were separated .ELISA was used to detect the levels of IFN‐γ,TNF‐α,IL‐8 ,and IL‐10 mRNA in gastric mucosa .Results There was significantly difference between groups 2 weeks after infection(P<0 .05) .With lastingness of infection ,the expression and the mRNA of IFN‐γ,TNF‐α,IL‐8 were significantly increased ,and the rate of increase of observation group was higher(P<0 .05) .Conclusion TH2 cells may have no effect on Helicobacter pylori infection in mice gastric mucosa and promote the expression of T H1‐type cytokines ,triggering immune response of T H1 .
