Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 2020;18(3):225-230
Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of lung-clearing and spleen-strengthening tuina on exogenous cough in children. Methods: A total of 77 children with exogenous cough that met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group according to the random number table, with 39 cases in the treatment group and 38 cases in the control group. The routine lung-clearing manipulation was used in the two groups, while the spleen- strengthening manipulation was added in the treatment group. Both groups were treated once a day, 5 times as a course of treatment. After one course of treatment, the symptom score and clinical efficacy were observed. Results: There were one dropout in the treatment group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Therefore, a total of 74 cases were finally included in the analysis, with 38 cases in the treatment group and 36 cases in the control group. After treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in cough score between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the score of poor appetite between the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the total effective rate was 89.5% in the treatment group versus 75.0% in the control group, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: The therapeutic efficacy of lung-clearing spleen-strengthening manipulation is better than that of lung-clearing tuina manipulation alone for children with exogenous cough; regulating spleen and stomach can improve the curative efficacy of exogenous cough in children.

To investigate the inhibitory effects of siRNA expression vector on proto-oncogene Pokemon expression in SW480 cells and to provide experimental basis for further research about the biological function of Pokemon.siRNA expression vectors were constructed to express a short hairpin RNA against Pokemon.The recombinants were transfected into SW480 cells with liposome.Cellular morphology and transfection efficiency were observed.The expression of Pokemon were checked by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot.MTT assay was used to detect the effect of siRNA on the growth of SW480 cells and Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter was applied to study cell apoptosis of SW480 cells.The transfection efficiency was about 36% and the cellular morphology changed greatly at 48h after transfection.siRNA expression vectors could specifically reduce the expression of Pokemon mRNA and protein in SW480 cells.Compared with negative control,the inhibition ratio of Pokemon mRNA expression was 34.2% and 67.7%,in 24th hour and 48th hour,the inhibition ratio of Pokemon protein was 48.3% and 73.6%,in 48th and 72th hour,respectively.Transfection with Pokemon siRNA expression vectors could inhibit cell growth and induce cell apoptosis of SW480 cells.siRNA expression vectors were successfully established that could effectively inhibit the expression of Pokemon in SW480 cells.Pokemon gene silencing could decrease growth and increase apoptosis of SW480 cells.
4.Differential expression of Ezrin in cervical cancer tissues and the relationship between Ezrin and PCNA, MMP-2, MMP-9, HPV
China Oncology 2013;(11):904-909
Background and purpose:Previous studies have revealed potential roles for Ezrin in a variety of cancers. Ezrin participates in several functions including cell adhesion, motility and cell survival, and there is increasing evidence that it regulates tumour progression. This study aimed to determine the differential expression of Ezrin between cervical cancer tissues and normal controls and to explore the association of Ezrin expression with clinical pathological characteristics and with the expression of PCNA, MMP-2, MMP-9 and HPV E6 protein. Methods:Retrospective study was performed among 30 cervical cancer tissue samples which were diagnosed in our hospital from Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2006. Ten normal cervixes from uterine myomas were employed as normal controls. Semi-quantitative immunohistochemisty analysis was performed to detect the association of Ezrin expression with clinical pathological characteristics, and with expression of PCNA, MMP-2 and MMP-9, HPV E6 protein in cervical cancer tissue and normal controls. Analyze the association of Ezrin expression with the clinical characteristics. Results:The expression of Ezrin was strong and the distribution was diffuse mainly in the cytoplasm and membrane in cervical cancer tissues, while the normal cervical tissues was weak and mainly in the membrane. However, there was no signiifcant association between the expression of Ezrin and the clinical characteristics including tumor stage, histology and grade. Ezrin expression was positively correlated with the expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and HPV E6 protein in cervical cancer tissues, except PCNA. Conclusion:Ezrin was over-expressed in cervical cancer tissues and may be involved in the progress of invasion and metastasis in cervical cancer.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor plus cilostazol of different dosage in the treatment of low-weight patients after PCI.Methods A total of 148 consecutive ACS patients (body weight ≤ 65 kg) past PCI and with aspirin intolerance were enrolled and randomly divided into four groups.Patients given cilostazol 50mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg daily were named as the CC50 mg group.Patients in the CC100 mg group were given cilostazol 100 mg twice daily plus clopidogrel 75 mg daily.The TCS0 mg group were given cilostazol 50 mg twice daily plus standard ticagrelor 90mg twice daily and the TC100 mg group were given cilostazol 50 mg twice daily plus standard ticagrelor 90 mg twice daily.All patients were followed up clinically for 6 months.The clinical endpoints were MACEs and bleeding events.Platelet aggregation at 7 and 30 days after treatment the incidence of clinical endpoints during followup were compared between the four groups.Results Patients in the TC100mg group had the lowest platelet aggregation rates tested on both the 7th and 30th day after treatment among all the 4 groups.After 6 months of follow up,the MACEs rate was not significantly different between the four groups (P =0.930).Bleeding events rates in the TC100 mg group the highest among the 4 but without groups significant differences.Conclusions In ACS patients with low body weight ≤ 65 kg) past PCI and with aspirin intolerance,cilostazol 50mg twice daily plus ticagrelor is a safe and efficacious therapeutic regimen.

Objective · To investigate antiemetic effect of aprepitant for moderately chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods · From 2014 July to 2015 August, 130 cases of gastrointestinal cancer patients were collected in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, who received moderate emetogenic risk of chemotherapy for at least four courses. One hundred and nine patients were treated with aprepitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone on day 1, and aprepitant and dexamethasone on day 2 and 3. Twenty-one patients only received aprepitant and dexamethasone on day 1 and dexamethasone on day 2 and 3 in the first course of chemotherapy. During subsequent courses of chemotherapy they received aprepitant and treated in the same way as 109 patients. MASCC antiemetic tool (MAT) was used to evaluate the intensity of nausea. The primary endpoint was complete response (CR, no emesis and use of no rescue antiemetics) during the overall study phase (0-120 h after chemotherapy) at the second course. The secondary endpoint was complete protection (CP, CR plus no significant nausea) during the overall, acute (0-24 h), and delayed (24-120 h) phases at the second course. Results · The CR rates were 90.0%, 94.6% and 90.8% of patients in the overall, acute and delayed phases, respectively. The corresponding CP rates were 83.8%, 87.8% and 84.6 %, respectively. The CR rate increased from 42.9% to 57.1% during acute phase and increased from 9.5% to 90.5% during delayed phase for 21 patients after treatment with aprepitant. The main adverse reactions include constipation, anorexia and hiccups. Conclusion · Aprepitant combined with palonosetron and dexamethasone can effectively prevent moderately chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Aprepitant therapy can effectively maintain antiemetic effect in patients with many chemotherapy courses.
