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.

International Eye Science 2017;17(9):1659-1662
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most common complication that leads to loss of vision after cataract surgery.Neodymium doped:Yttrium-Aluminum-Garnet (Nd:Yag) laser capsulotomy is a common treatment for PCO, but still associated with several complications.In the past decades, the prevention and treatment of PCO have always been a hot spot of research in ophthalmology.This review will address the advances in the prevention and treatment of PCO in the aspects of surgical techniques and types of intraocular lens (IOL).

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 studythe efficacy of levosimendan in treating refractory heart failure complicating severe renal in sufficiency.Methods Sixty-seven cases of refractory heart failure complicating severe renal insufficiency in the internal medicine department of our hospital were randomly divided into the levosimendan treatment group(L group,n=33)and dopamine treatment group(D group,n=34).The changes of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-pro-BNP),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)and glomerular filtration rate(GFR)before treatment and on 1,3,7,30 d after treatment were compared between the two groups and analyzed.Results Before the treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline indicators between the two groups(P>0.05).The group L:the NT-pro-BNP level on 1,3,7 d after treatment was decreased significantly(P< 0.05),LVEF on 3,7 d was significantly increased compared with th baseline(P<0.05)and GFR on 1,3,7,30 d was significantly increased compared with the baseline(P<0.05).The group D:the NT-pro-BNP level on 7 d of treatment was significantly decreased(P<0.05),LVEF on 7 d of treatment was significantly increased compared with the baseline(P<0.05),and no statistically significant changes were observed in GFR on 1,3,7,30 d(P>0.05).After treatment,NT-pro-BNP,LVEF and GFR significant level values in the group L were better than those in the group D.Conclusion Levosimendan is superior to dopamine in improving heart and renal function for the patients with refractory heart failure complicating severe renal insufficiency.

Objective: To detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with gastric cancer and evaluate the relationship among CTCs, clinico-pathological characteristics, and prognosis of gastric cancer. Methods: Peripheral blood samples (10 mL in EDTA) were obtained from 45 patients with gastric cancer. CTCs were detected using density-gradient centrifugation and immunofluo-rescence staining. The clinical significance of the two methods were also compared and investigated. Results:CTC-positive case was defined by the presence of at least one CK19 (+)-CTC per 10 mL of the sample. CTCs were found in 27 of the 45 patients with gastric cancer. The presence of CTCs was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and recurrence (P=0.007, 0.035, 0.035, respectively). However, CTCs were not significantly correlated with sex, age, tumor location, TNM staging, and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). Conclusion:CTCs were associated with poor prognosis of gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the expression and significance of CD44 gastric cancer stem cell biomarker positive circulating tumor cells (CTC ) in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer . Methods From March 2010 to December 2012 ,45 patients with gastric cancer and 20 healthy individuals were enrolled .Peripheral blood samples of all the subjects were collected .The expression of CTC and CD44 postive CTC were detected by density gradient centrifugation method and double immunofluorescent staining .Chi‐square test and t‐test were performed for statistical analysis .Results CTC in peripheral blood of healthy controls were not detected .Among 45 patients with gastric cancer ,CTC were detected in 27 patients and 19 of them were CD44‐positive .The difference in positive rate of CTC expression was statistically significant between two groups (χ2 =10 .986 , P<0 .05) .Among 27 CTC‐positive patients , 19 were proximal gastric cancer and 16 of them were CD44‐positive;16 patients had lymph node metastasis and 14 of them were CD44‐positive;13 patients had distant metastasis and 12 of them were CD44‐positive;14 patients had recurrence and 13 of them were CD44‐positive .The CD44 positive CTC was correlated with tumor location ,lymph node metastasis ,distant metastasis and recurrence (χ2=5 .891 ,5 .527 ,5 .787 and 7 .052 ,respectively ,all P<0 .05) .Furthermore ,in 13 patients with recurrence and CD44 positive CTC ,the recurrence time was (10 .54 ± 5 .55) months which was shorter than that of one patients with CD44 negative CTC (19 months) ,and the difference was statistically significant (t= -3 .654 , P=0 .004) .Conclusions CTC which express cancer stem cell marker may be associated with recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer .It has more important clinical significance to detect this subtype of CTC .

Objective To investigate and analyze the effect of current doctor-patient relationship on profession recognition of medical students and to make some accommodations for medical education. Methods Questionnaire was conducted among 800 medical students in North Sichuan Medical College concerning the aspects of recognition of doctor-patient relationship,profession recognition and effect of current doctor-patient relationship on profession recognition . Data statistics was done by SPSS 19 . 0 . Differences were analyzed by frequency,chi-square test by α=0.05 standard and Spearman correlation analysis. Results 67.6%(536/793)of the surveyed students thought that the current doctor-patient re-lationship exerted effect on their job concepts. According to the results of Spearman correlation analysis between current doctor-patient relationship(X)and effect of current doctor-patient relationship on future job con-cepts(Y),correlation coefficient was 0 . 088 ,P=0 . 013<0 . 05 . Conclusions Effect of current doctor-patient relationship on profession recognition of medical students results from health care policy, school education and society,therefore,university should improve related education .
