International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2021;44(1):23-27,43
Objective:To detect the expression of microchromosome maintenance protein 6 (MCM6) in bladder cancer tissues, and to explore the relationship between MCM6 and the clinical prognosis of bladder cancer. To explore the possibility of MCM6 as a potential biomarker for bladder cancer.Methods:Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze the mRNA levels of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, and to analyze the relationship between its expression and the survival rate of bladder cancer patients. The clinicopathological data of 83 patients with bladder cancer underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of MCM6 protein in bladder cancer tissue and normal tissue adjacent to the cancer, and analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of bladder cancer patients.Results:The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that MCM6 mRNA was significantly highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues and was significantly correlated with the overall survival rate ( P=0.036) and disease-free survival rate ( P=0.01) of the patients. The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal tissues adjacent to the cancer, and high expression of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissue was related to tumor stage ( P=0.025), but had nothing to do with age, gender and tumor grade (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The expression of MCM6 in bladder cancer tissue is significantly high and indicates a poor prognosis, and its expression level is related to the tumor stage of bladder cancer patients. MCM6 may serve as a new potential biomarker for bladder cancer.

Objective To compare the effect of postoperative intercostal nerves cryoanalgesia and patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) in patients undergoing thoracic surgery. Methods From April 2006 to May 2008,89 patients undergoing thoracic surgery were randomly divided into intercostal nerves cryoanalgesia group (group A,47 cases) and PCEA group (group B,42 cases). The scores of pain, use of pain medication and time of out-of-bed activity after the operation were used to evaluate the effect of pain between two groups. Results The scores of pain in group A and group B were (1.49 ± 0.80) and (2.43 ± 1.21) scores respectively. There were significant differences in the scores of pain. The use of pain medication [(1.28 ± 0.62) times vs (2.02 ± 1.05) times]and time of out-of-bed activity after the operation [(43.15 ± 12.22) h vs (64.10 ± 14.25) hi were significant difference between the two groups(P< 0.05). Conclusions For reducing the post- thoracotomy pain,intercostal nerves cryoanalgesia is superior to PCEA. Intercostal nerves cryoanalgesia can provide satisfactory analgesia after thoracic surgery.

The results show: 1) The maximum cellulolytic enzyme activities were observed incubation 20h; 2) Constant medium temperature 28℃ was adequate to the growth of the 4 strains ; 3) anaerobic condition, 39℃±2℃ and fermentation 12h, 24h, 36h, the tested strains can growth well in PDA plate, however, the cellulolytic enzyme activities and growth of the tested strains were influenced adversely when fermentation 48h. The experiment provide many important basis for the strains production, storage and utilization.

Objective To observe the analgesic effect of COX-2 inhibitors combined with PCA in treatment of the pain after total knee arthroplasty(TKA)and explore novai method for pain control after TKA. Methods This study was,a double blind,controlled,randomized,placebo-controlled,parallelgroup and single center study and obtained the consent of the Medical Ethics Committee of Chongqing Medical University.Inclusion criteria:the patients with severe trauma or degenerative knee,at age of 58-75 vears.ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, tolerance of the intravenous anesthesia.The same solvent formula of PCA was routinely prepared based on body weight after TKA.Intravenous injection of 40 mg Parecoxib plus 2 ml normal saline or injection of only 2 ml normal saline was done when closing the incision.which was recorded and prescribed by the researcher A.The same reagent waft,used continually every other 12 hours till48 hours.Celecoxib or placebo capsules was not usod orally at 72 hours until two weeks later.The knee ioint function was observed preoperatively and at days 3,7 and 15 after TKA. Results The study was completed in 60 patients including 30 patients in the group treated with Parecoxib and Celecoxib sequential therapy and 30 patients in placebo-control group.There was no statistical difference in aspects of general condition in both groups(P>0.05).There was no statistical difference in aspect of preoperative knee score between two groups(P>0.05).The analysis showed statistical difference in the knee function score at days 3.7 and 15 after operation(P<0.05 or0.01).Conclusions The COX2 inhibitors combined with PCA has definite analgesic effect on the pain after TKA,which positively correlates with early modified HSS evaluation of TKA.

Objective:under the protective medical system,health care professional incline not to disclose the medical information to vulnerable patients in order to protect them from any unpleasant stimuli which might worsen their illness condition.This study aims to understand how patients' perceived illness severity and prognostic awareness impact on their will to live and healthcare expectations.Participants & Methods:twenty newly admitted patients,6 men and 14 women,with confirmed diagnosis of metastasis cancer in a hospice ward in Shanghai participated in the study.Semi-structured interviews were used to illicit the patients' view and experience.The interview questions include the patients' understanding of their illness condition,concerns in different aspects of life and expectation on treatment and care.Audio-recorded interviews were verbatim transcribed and analyzed using vanKaam's method of controlled explication.Result:although the patients did not learn their illness directly from others,they were able to capture their illness severity by observing the reaction of doctors or family members.Among them,9 patients actively sought evidence to confirm their illness condition.Although all 20 patients considered themselves gravely ill,their will to live ranged form very strong to very weak,which can be categorized into three major kinds of responses: struggling for life,letting-it-to-happen and pleading for death.The patient's level of prognostic awareness did not have a strong association with their will to live,but the will to live was associated with their expressed quality of life concerns.The patients with more negative emotion,weaker family ties and more physical discomforts had weaker will to live.The patients who had unfinished business such as young children had the strongest will to live.The letting-it-go-happen patients were complacent that they had fulfilled their life responsibilities.Both patients who struggled for life and who pleaded for a hastened death had unrealistic healthcare expectations.The former hoped the medical staff could cure their illness whilst the latter preferred the medical staff to end their life.This is inconsistent to the concept of hospice care as dying should be treated as a natural process.Conclusion: This study shows that empathetic and open interactions with terminally cancer patients are possible.No untoward emotional reactions were noted after the interviews.The patients could receive better psychological support form the health care providers,and their needs were more realistically addressed.Furthermore,it can facilitate the family and healthcare providers to fulfill patients' last wishes and help them to pass their last days in peace,comfort and dignity.
