1.Current situation and trends in blockade of targeted immune checkpoints in cancer immunotherapy
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;(7):415-419
The blockade of targeted immune checkpoint is one of the most promising approaches to activate therapeutic antitu-mor immunity. The immune checkpoint refers to a plethora of inhibitory pathways in the immune system. These pathways are crucial for maintaining self-tolerance and modulating the duration and amplitude of physiological immune responses in peripheral tissues to minimize collateral tissue damage. Tumors co-opt certain immune-checkpoint pathways as a major mechanism of immune resistance. Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 antibodies were the first of this class of immunotherapeutics to acquire approval from the US Food and Drug Administration. Preliminary clinical findings with blockers of additional immune-checkpoint proteins, such as pro-grammed cell death protein 1, indicate broad and diverse opportunities to enhance anti-tumor immunity with the potential to produce du-rable clinical responses. Classic chemotherapy exerts significant immunomodulatory effects on tumor cells via multiple mechanisms. Therefore, the combination of immunotherapy, including immune checkpoint blockade with chemotherapy, is a new promising trend in anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the expression pattern of MMP-11 and MMP-14 in breast carcinoma, and the effect of MMP-11 on breast carcinoma cell migration and invasion. Methods:MMP-11 and MMP-14 expression were examined in 161 invasive breast carcinoma tissue samples and 10 normal breast tissue samples. siRNA was used to knockout MMP-11 in breast carcinoma cell line MB-231 and Transwells were used to evaluate changes in migration ability and invasion ability. Results:Both MMP-11 and MMP-14 were highly expressed in breast carcinoma samples,122 and 149 samples out of 161,respectively. The expression of both proteins were correlated with lymph node metastasis and TNM staging. After knockout of MMP-11,the expression of both proteins decreased in MB-231 cell line and experiments show that the cell′s migration and invasion abilities were significantly weakened. Conclusion:MMP-11 and MMP-14 could promote invasion and metastasis of breast carcinoma. Knockout of MMP-11 results in the downregulated expression of MMP-14,and the inhibition of breast carcinoma cell′s migration and invasion. They could be potential prognostic markers and treatment targets for of breast carcinoma.

Objective To observe and assess the effect about bundles of cure Rule of three three in the treatment for residual stones after Flexible Ureteroscope.Methods 120 patients with a single stone after urinary lithotripsy were divided into two groups according to the different indwelling time.Two cases of the control group were rejected because of severe hematuria.The control group (n=58) was subjected to the regular education (drinking water 3 000 ml per day with moderate exercise);The experiment group (n=60) was subjected to the Rule of three three (drinking 3 cups of water in thc morning、midday and night,with contralateral position 30 minutes,hot towel applying and gently tapping the kidney region 30 minutes).Results The calculi discharge rate and the net rate of experiment group [86.67% (52/60),55.00% (33/60)] were higher than the control group [53.45%(32/58),18.97%(11/58)] 14 days after surgery.The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).Further analysis showed that the discharge rate of residual stones in lower renal calyx in experiment group [86.67%(26/30)] was higher than the control group [32.14%(9/28)].The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.01).Conclusions The bundles of cure called rule of three three can improve the discharge rate of residual calculi after flexible ureteroscope and increase the discharge rate of residual stones in lower renal calyx significantly.

Objective To get a view of the participation, motivation and barrier of voluntary activities in medical graduates, and to provide valuable advices for improving such behaviors. Methods The convenience sample method was used in medical graduates in 2014 and the total sample was 348. The data of voluntary service were collected by self-designed questionnaire, including whether partici-pating in voluntary service, times, types, motivations and barriers. SPSS 20.0 were used in statistic analysis and data were processed by description analysis and χ2 test. Results The effective response rate is 80.7%(281). The proportion of the post graduated students participation in voluntary activities is 65.8%(185), however, only 13.4%(28) claimed such activities more than 3 times. The proportion of participation in male, student leaders and party members were higher than those female, non-student leaders and non-party members, the different is statistically significant (P<0.05). The proportion of medical related voluntary activities is 52.6%. The primary motivation of voluntary behaviors is social responsibility (30.1%), while the primary obstacle is lack of medium (39.50%)and limitation of personal time and energy (30.0%). Conclusions The participation and persistence of voluntary activity in graduated students are not high enough. The colleges need to strength the organization and management of voluntary activities and focus on social responsible education, inspire and guide the postgradu ate students to participate in voluntary activities persistently by using their specialties.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of combined screening for chromosomal abnormalities in the first trimester and the ultrasound characteristics of these fetuses.Methods Retrospective study for 5000 singleton pregnancies by combined screening of trisomies 21,18,13 and Turner syndrome.Risk algorithms were developed for calculation of patient-specific risks for each of the three trisomies based on maternal age,fetal nuchal translucency,free β human chorionic gonadotropin and serum pregnancy associated plasma protein A at 11 to 13 +6 weeks of pregnant.The value of nuchal translucency (NT) and β-hCG and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) level were inputted computer,and calculate the risk value (≥ 1 ∶ 270) by automatic analysis software.Two hundred and four cases with high risk were performed transabdominal chorionic villus biopsy to detect the fetal chromosomal karyotypes.Meanwhile,other ultrasonic characteristics of fetal were elevated.Results (1) Five thousand cases of pregnant women were detected,including 4983 normal cases,62 cases were induced labor for a variety of reasons in the second trimester,including 40 cases with normal karyotype but with congenital heart disease,17 cases of chromosome abnormalities (9 cases trisomy 21,2 cases trisomy 18,1 cases trisomy 13,4 cases 45X),2 cases spina bifida,2 cases digestive tract obstruction,1 cases giant bladder.One case with low risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in combined screening,but high risk of age (maternal age were over 40 years old),it was 21 trisomy syndrome after the prenatal diagnosis.(2) Five cases of nasal bone loss in 9 cases of trisomy 21 (5/9),5 cases with three tricuspid regurgitation (5/9),4 cases of venous ductus a wave flow reverse (4/9),3 cases of fetal nasal bone loss accompanied by tricuspid regurgitation and venous ductus a wave flow reverse (3/9).One case of nasal bone loss in 2 cases of trisomy 18,2 cases were tricuspid regurgitation and venous ductus a wave flow reverse.Two cases in 4 cases of 45X had venous ductus a wave flow reverse.There were 8 cases (0.16%) nasal bone absence in 4983 cases of normal karyotype fetus,48 cases (0.96%) of tricuspid regurgitation and 44 cases (0.88%) of venous ductus a wave flow reverse.Thirty-two cases in 40 cases (80%) of fetal congenital heart disease were tricuspid regurgitation,30 cases of venous ductus a wave flow reverse (75%).Eight cases of nasal bone absence normal karyotype fetus were found the nasal bone at 20 weeks gestation.Conclusion Combination screening of nuchal translucency with serum markers in the first trimester were high detection rate and low false positive rate; a wave reversion and fetal nasal bone absence accompanied by tricuspid regurgitation can improve the detection rate of abnormal karyotype; abnormalities ultrasound marker may be associated with fetal congenital heart disease at 11-13 +6 weeks of pregnancy.
