Objective:To detect the pain status and the pain management of home-based advanced cancer patients, and to investigate the key factors impacting the satisfaction on pain management.Methods:Totally the data of 138 cases from the hospice department in the duration from Jan. 2019 to Jun. 2019 were collected and analyzed by χ2 test with SPSS 23.0. Results:109 cases in 138 cases received analgesics treatment before, 54.13% of these participants expressed satisfaction with the effect of their pain management, and 45.87% showed unsatisfied on their pain management. Cancer clinical stage and PMI (pain management index) were both detected to be the significant factors for satisfaction of pain management ( P<0.05, P=0.029; P<0.01, P=0.001) . Conclusions:Cancer clinical stage and PMI are found to be related to the satisfaction for pain management. The percentage of patients who use opioids increased. while there was still a part of patients suffering from inadequacy of pain management. The pain management for home-based advanced patients needs to be paid more attention by medical staff.

Objective To reproduce a rabbit model of alginate immune pneumonia, and to study the pathogenic role of alginate on lung tissue. Methods Rabbits of group A, being challenged by saline, served as the control group. Rabbits of group B and C were immunized with seaweed alginate and bacterial alginate respectively. Body temperature,peripheral blood cells and the serum level of circulating immune complex (CIC) were measured after the challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) specimens were incubated and bacterial colonies were counted. The cell number and differential count of BALF were made. The pathological changes of the lung tissue were observed under microscopy. Results In both seaweed alginate and bacterial alginate groups, the peripheral blood cell count and the number of bacterial colonies in BALF were similar to that of the saline group. However, the serum CIC levels and the cell count of BALF were increased significantly after the challenge. Under light microscopy, lymphocyte infiltration and lymphoid follicle formation around the bronchiolus were found in all alginate immunized groups, and there was also narrowing of bronchioli. Conclusion Both seaweed alginate and bacterial alginate could be used to establish the model of alginate immune pneumonia in rabbits. Alginate can cause inflammatory reaction and pathological changes in the rabbit lung, manifesting mainly peribronchilar lymphocytic infiltration and lymphoid follicle formation around the bronchioli.

Background Transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) plays an important role in corneal woundhealing.The effects of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of extra cellular matrix (ECM) vary upon different concentrations.Previous studies focused on the effects of high concentration of TGF-β1 on keratocytes under the two-dimensional culture condition,and the effect of low concentration of TGF-β1 on the synthesis of ECM in keratocytes remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the growth of Pellet,a three-dimensional model of corneal stroma cells in vitro,and its ECM synthesis under a low concentration of TGF-β1.Methods Bovine corneal stromal cells were isolated from fresh bovine eyeballs by two-step digestion by collagenase and cultured using DMEM/F12 medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).Pellets derived fresh bovine keratocytes with culture medium containing 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS were established,respectively.The morphology of Pellets was observed under the natural light at 48 hours,1 week,2 weeks and 3 weeks after culture.In 3 weeks after culture,the cell structures was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and Calcein-AM/propidium (Calcein-AM/PI) staining was used to assay the cell viability.Real-time flurorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence technology were applied to analyze the expressions of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA),fibronectin (FN),type Ⅰ collagen (Col Ⅰ) and type Ⅲ collagen (Col Ⅲ) mRNA and proteins.RT-PCR was employed to detect the expressions of lumican (LUM) mRNA and keratocan (KERA) mRNA in the cells.Results Cells in Pellet clustered throughout the culture duration.Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the mass red-dyed collagen fibers in both 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group and 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,and most cells possessed complete structures.The death rate of the cells was (33.60±1.65)% in the 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group and (30.90±0.78) % in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,showing an insignificant difference between them (t =0.144,P=0.887).The expressions of α-SMA,FN and Col Ⅲ proteins in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group were lower than those in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 + 5 % FBS group (tα-SMA =4.622,P =0.010;tFN =2.973,P =0.040;tCol Ⅲ =7.845,P<0.001),but the expression of Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group was higher than that in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1+5% FBS group (tColⅠ =4.022,P=0.016).The ratio of Col Ⅲ/Col Ⅰ in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1+5% FBS group was lower than that in the 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group in both mRNA and protein level (tmRNA =-3.039,P =0.038;tprotein =3.215,P =0.032).The expression of LUM mRNA and KERA mRNA were detected in Pellet at different time points.The expression of LUM mRNA in 0.25 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group increased over time.While in 0.50 ng/ml TGF-β1 +5% FBS group,the expression of LUM mRNA peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.The expression of KERA mRNA in two groups were all peaked at 1 week but declined at 2 weeks.Conclusions Low-dose TGF-β1 in Pellet can maintain the normal growth of keratocytes and synthesize ECM.The expression of ECM tends to the normal condition after reducing the concentration of TGF-β1,implying a scarless expression.

Objective To study the relationship between the expression of EBV lytic genes and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The blood samples from 44 SLE patients and 43 matched normal controls were tested for BamHⅠ-W, the specific DNA fragment of EBV, by polymerase chain reaction(PCR)-Southern analysis. RT-PCR and Southern blotting were used to detect the EBV lytic genes (including immediate early genes BZLF1 and BRLF1, early genes BARF1, late genes BcLF1 and BLLF1) in EBV DNA-positive SLE patients. Results The EBV DNA was positive in 32 SLE patients and 3 controls. There was significant difference between the SLE patients and controls in the EBV DNA expression ( ?2 = 39.18, P 0.05). In the EBV DNA-positive SLE patients, 2 (both with active SLE) were positive for BARF1 mRNA; 14 (11 with active SLE and 3 with inactive SLE) were positive for BcLF1 mRNA; none was positive for BZLF1,BRLF1 or BLLF1 mRNA. No lytic genes were expressed in any of the 3 EBV DNA-positive controls. Conclusion EBV infection may be related to the development of SLE. EBV lytic infection exists in some SLE patients. EBV is at a low level of lytic activity in patients with SLE.
