2.Markers of renal cell carcinoma stem cells
Journal of International Oncology 2014;(9):668-671
The renal cell cancer stem cells determine the growth and proliferation of renal cell carcino-ma.So far some possible markers have been identified in renal cell carcinoma,including octamer binding factor 4 (Oct4),CD133,CD105,ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 transporter gene (ABCB1),CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4),but these markers are still controversial.Therefore,for the more effective treatments of metastatic renal cell carcinoma,studying a generally applicable marker for renal cell carcinoma is necessary.
3.CHADS2 score, atrial fibrillation and stroke risk stratification
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;20(7):519-523
Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is the most common type of arrhythmia and an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke.Warfarin effectively decreases the risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients with NVAF,but substantially increases the risk for severe bleeding.Currently,most clinical guidelines recommend using the CHADS2 score for stroke risk stratification in NVAF patients to guide antithrombotic treatment.Although its application is simple and convenient,the CHADS2 score has been debated because of many limitations; especially some common stroke risk factors were not included.By comparison,the CHA2 DS2-VASc scores have included more risk factors for stroke.It can better identify the truly low-risk patients.Among the AF patients with CHADS2 score of 0 to 1,CHA2DS2-VASc scores may provide the important information for stroke risk,and thus help the decision-making of the anticoagulant therapy.
4.Effects of aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy on chicken combs, an animal model for port wine stains
Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2015;(5):333-337
Objective To investigate the effects of aminolevulinic acid-based photodynamic therapy(ALA-PDT) on chicken combs, an animal model for port wine stains (PWS), and to explore the feasibility of PWS treatment with ALA-PDT. Methods A total of 80 leghorns were randomly and equally divided into 10 groups: blank control group receiving no treatment, ALA group treated with ALA alone, four single laser groups irradiated with 630-nm red laser at 75, 100, 150 and 200 J/cm2 respectively, four ALA-PDT groups pretreated with ALA followed by 630-nm red laser radiation at 75, 100, 150 and 200 J/cm2 respectively. An area sized 1 cm × 1 cm were marked at one side of combs in all these leghorns, and served as the experiment area to receive corresponding treatment, with that in the other side as the control area. Tissue specimens were obtained on the 14th and 28th days after treatment followed by the observation of morphological and histological changes, calculation of decrement rate in capillary number, and determination of apoptosis index in vascular endothelial cells (VECs) in chicken combs. Results In all the four ALA-PDT groups, the combs became lighter in color with apoptosis of some VECs as well as a decrease in capillary count and diameter in the dermis of the experiment areas. The decrement rate in capillary number was 33.53% ± 4.89%, 52.02% ± 2.77%, 67.48% ± 5.58%and 88.96% ± 2.47% respectively, and apoptosis index in VECs was 63.44 ± 1.09, 88.50 ± 6.11, 94.32 ± 3.67 and 113.76 ± 10.57 respectively, in the 75-, 100-, 150- and 200-J/cm2 ALA-PDT groups on the 14th day after treatment, and both the decrement rate and apoptosis index in each of these groups were significantly different from those in the blank control group, ALA group, single laser groups receiving red laser radiation at the corresponding dose, and the other ALA-PDT groups (all P < 0.01)separately. The apoptosis depth of VECs, defined as the vertical distance from the basal layer to the deepest level at which VEC apoptosis occurred, was 201.19 ± 0.33 μm, 266.15 ± 1.02 μm, 546.09 ± 2.45 μm and 766.37 ± 1.08 μm respectively in the 75-, 100-, 150- and 200-J/cm2 ALA-PDT groups on the 14th day, with significant differences between these four groups (all P < 0.01). Conclusions ALA-PDT can markedly damage capillaries in the animal model of port wine stains, chicken combs, with the degree and depth of capillary damage associated with red light energy density. The induction of VEC apoptosis may be an action mechanism of ALA-PDT in the treatment of PWS.
5.Early efficacy comparison between independent exercises under the doctors guidance and passive exercises by using CPM in rehabilitation after TKA
The Journal of Practical Medicine 2015;(7):1120-1122
Objective To compare the early efficacy of two different ways of rehabilitation exercises in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. Method From January 2011 to January 2014,136 patients having undergone TKA were randomly divided into two groups. In group A , patients exercised under the guidance with doctor. In group B, patients exercised by using continuous passive movement (CPM) machine. Compared the data from the two groups including range of motion (ROM) of the knee joint, knee function score (KFS) and circumference of the knee joint, t test of independent sample was utilized in the research. Results All patientswere followed up in 4 weeks. The ROM and KFS of Group A was significantly better than Group B (P < 0.05). The knee circumference had no statistically significant difference between two groups (P> 0.05).Conclusion Group A and B are effective methods in TKA patients in early rehabilitation training. But training under the guidance of doctor has greater advantages than CPM.

9.The study of etiology of respiratory infection and antibiotics employment in pediatric patients
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2014;23(2):196-199
Objective To research the pathogenies' types and analyze the antibacterial drug' s using rationality from the children with acute respiratory infection,our study were generated by pediatric department from the hospital lasting 2 years.Methods A total of 93 pediatric patients with acute respiratory infection admitted from December 1,2010 through November 30,2012 were enrolled into study.The throat swabs from 93 patients were sent to the Beijing Center for Disease and Prevention (CDC) to identify the influenza virus,syncytial virus and mycoplasma with rapid nucleic acid test.The specimens of sputum from hospitalized patients were sent to the hospital bacterial laboratory for bacteria culture.With the Children Drug Utilization Index (cDUI),the rationality of using antibiotics was estimated.The database was established by using SPSS version 18.0 software and the data were analyzed to determine the statistical distinction among the percentage by the Chi square test (P < 0.05).Results Of them,70.96% pediatric patients were below 3 years old (excluding newborns).Of them,62.36% patients had positive findings of viral infection.The predominant viruses of respiratory infection were syncytial virus accounting for 30.43%,the influenza viruses 24.63% and the para-influenza virus 10.14%.The patients with positive results in vital test were more vulnerable to lower respiratory infection than those with negative results.The pneumonia patients with positive finding of syncytial virus accounted for 85.71% (18 patients) in which the median cDUI was 1.30.The antibiotics were given to 28 pneumonia patients with positive virus test,in which the median cDUI was 1.05.Of 28 pneumonia patients,4 (16%) had positive bacteria growth in sputum cultures,and 4 cases (16%) had positive bacteria growth in blood cultures.Conclusions In the district of hospital,the lower respiratory infection was usually caused by viruses.Therefore,antibiotics should not be given in patients without evidence of bacterial infection.It is a irrational strategy to use antibiotics in those patients when the Children Drug Utilization Index is high (> 1.0).It is paramount important to notice that the percentage of positive bacteria growth in sputum cultures is usually not high because the antibiotics are given by OPD physicians before hospitalization of patients with bacterial infections in the acute respiratory illness.
