1.On the Medical Ethical Significance of Charity Philosophy
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(05):-
The construction of charity culture has always been a weak element in medical institutions,thus it is in great need to promote the construction of ideological and charity culture.Medical staff should cultivate themselves with charity philosophy to promote their sincerity,comfort,and self-cultivation for medical career,and combine charity philosophy and medical ethics so as to add charity to their clinical thinking,ideology and behaviors.Therefore,medical staff's morality of medical service can be enhanced gradually.

Objective:To evaluate dendritic cells induced immune response against hepatocellular carcinoma by pulsed CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells originated dendritic cells with p53 gene.Methods:CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells were harvested after mobilization by chemotherapy and G-CSF.CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell apheresis was induced to differentiate into dendritic cells by cytokine cocktail IL-4,GM-CSF and TNF-?.On day 7,dendritic cells were transfected with plasmid pEGFP-C3/p53 DNA.The CTL response triggered by p53 pulsed dendritic cells was assayed by MTT method.Results:Dendritic cells originated from CD34+ cell apheresis had typical dendritic stick and expressed high level CD1a,CD11c,CD80,CD86,and HLA-DR molecules.After being pulsed with p53 gene,dendritic cells expressed green fluorescence protein and immunofluorescence assay(Cy3 labeled anti-P53 antibody)showed that transfected dendritic cells emitted red fluorescence.Dendritic cells inducing CTL response against HMCC97 cells(P53 positive)and HepG2 cells(P53 negative)were assessed by MTT method.P53 pulsed dendritic cells could induce P53 specific immune response against HMCC97 cells and the cytotoxin rate was(49.3?4.6)% compared with pEGFP-C3 transfection group [(25.4?4.1)%] and control group[(24.8?3.8)%](P0.05).Conclusion:P53 gene transfecting hematopoietic stem cell apheresis originated dendritic cells could induce specific CTL response against P53-expressing hepatocellular carcinoma cells.P53 may be a potential candidate for dendritic cell based immunotherapy of cancer.

Objective: To study the relationship between the patient satisfaction with complete denture and the pain perception threshold (PPT) of alveolar ridge mucosa. Methods: Forty-five edentulous patients with complete denture were investigated with the questionnaire of patient satisfaction, PPT of alveolar ridge mucosa in the patients was measured with a pressure algometer. Results: No difference was found in the PPT of alveolar ridge mucosa between the left and the right side. The PPT was found to be higher in maxillary site than in mandibular side(P

Objective The loss of NF2 gene in cutaneous schwannomas of neurofibromatosis type 2 patients was investigated in order to explore the tumorigenesis and characteristics of NF2 tumor suppressor gene, and to provide evidence for presymptomatic gene diagnosis for NF2 patients. Methods DNA was extracted from whole blood and frozen tumor tissue, respectively. Genotyping was performed using 6 microsatellite markers flanking or within the NF2 gene: CRYB2- D22S193- NF2CA1- NF2CA3- D22S268- D22S430, which is tightly linked to the NF2 gene and analyzed on an ABI Genetic Analyzer 310 after PCR amplification. Results A total of 18,14,0,13,16,12 samples showed loss of heterozygosity at microsatellite markers CRYB2, D22S193, NF2CA1, NF2CA3, D22S268, D22S430 in 43 samples of cutaneous schwannomas, respectively. Conclusions The method for detection of NF2 allelic loss was established. Frequent allelic loss reconfirms that NF2 gene is a tumor suppressor gene. The observation that tumors with or without allelic loss of the NF2 gene exist in the same patient indicates that these tumors are originated from different clones in which genetic alterations occurred independently.

Objective To investigate nutritional support in the treatment of cancer in recent years.Methods Seperately diSCUSS on application conditions of enteral nutrition and parenteral nutrition in the treatment of cancer and its advantages and disadvantages.Results Enteral nutrition can improve digestive funcdon,reduce costs and enhance immunity.Parenmral nutrition can supplement insufficiency of enteral niltrition and inhibit tumor growth by selecting the kinds of nuWients to support a normal body function.Conclusion Enteral nutrition combined witll parenteral nutrition iS a suitable means of nutritional support in the treatment ofcancer.

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of argon plasma coagulation(APC) in treating patients with Barrett's esophagus.Methods Two reviewers independently searched the Cochrane Library(Issue 2,2008),MEDLINE(January 1948 to November 2008),and CNKI(January 1999 to November 2008),respectively.The quality of the included studies was assessed according to the guidance in the Cochrane Handbook of systematic reviews of interventions.Results Six randomized controlled trials involving 253 patients with Barrett's esophagus met the inclusion criteria and were included.One trial reported that the ablation rate of patients in the APC group was significantly higher than that in the endoscopic surveillance group.Followed up one year,the ablation rate in APC group was 63% compared with 15% in the control group(P

Objective To discuss the expressions and clinicopathologic significances of insulin-like growth factor Ⅱ mRNA binding protein 3 (IMP3)in squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL)and cervical squa-mous cell carcinoma (CSCC)before and after the therapy of radiation and chemotherapy.Methods The expressions of IMP3 in 80 cases of CSCC,90 cases of SIL (60 cases of HSIL,30 cases of LSIL)and 30 cases of cervicitis were detected by immunobistochemistry.The relations between IMP3 and clinicopathological cha-racteristics of CSCC were analyzed.Results The expression rates of IMP3 in CSCC,HSIL,LSIL and cervici-tis were 86.3%(69 /80),78.3%(47 /60),33.3%(10 /30)and 0(0 /30),and the difference among the four groups was statistically signicant (χ2 =87.01,P <0.01).The positive expression rate of IMP3 declined by radiation or chemotherapy (60.0% vs.85.0%,χ2 =5.79,P =0.013).The expression of IMP3 was related with lymph node metastasis (χ2 =3.97,P =0.046),differentiated degree (χ2 =5.95,P =0.018),clinical stage (χ2 =5.82,P =0.016)and invasion depth (χ2 =5.73,P =0.017).There was nothing to do with age (χ2 =0.11,P =0.745).Conclusion IMP3 expresses excessively in CSCC,and is associated with pathologi-cal grade and invasion progress.Radio-chemotherapy can reduce the expression of IMP3.

AIM:To evaluate treatment value of Xihuang Pill combined gemeitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer patients.METHODS:Thirty-two patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were randomly divided into A group and B group,treated with gemcitabine chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine Xihuang Pill+chemotherapy treatment,respectively.The changes of the solid tumor,serum CA19-9,physical status,clinical symptoms and toxicity were observed.RESULTS:B group(Xihuang Pill combined with gemcitabine)clinical return ratio (CR+PR+NC)was better than A group(gemcitabine).There was significant difference between two groups in the reduction of serum CA19-9 level,Karuofsky score increased,the rate of symptom improvement,Leukopenia reduction(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Integrating Xihuang Pill and gemcitabine in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer:delaying of tumor growth,reducing of CA19-9 level,improving of the clinical symptoms and life quality of patients,reducing of neutropenia in patients(chemotherapy-induced toxicity),shows good clinical benefit response.
