1.Transcription factor AP-2 and its effect on cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(10):723-726
AP-2,a nuclear transcription factor family,always binds to a typical DNA sequence in the dimer way,thus AP-2 can regulates the expression of many other genes and participate in the growth and devel-opment, apoptosis and many other physiological processes. Under pathological conditions, AP-2 also plays an im-portant role in tumor genesis and development by influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle regula-tion and apoptosis. Recent years,many researchers want to find new therapeutic strategies that target AP-2 in a series of human cancers.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of follow-ups on medical compliance behaviors and quality of life of patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods One hundred GERD patients who were hospitalized in our department from June 2012 to June 2013 were divided into intervention group (n=50) and control group (n=50) according to the random number table. Both groups received the same drug treatment and conventional nursing during hospitalization.The control group received periodically outpatient follow-ups,while the intervention group received professional follow-ups by trained nurses after discharge from hospital. The compliance behaviors and quality of life in these patients were assessed and statistically analyzed after 6 months nursing intervention or outpatient follow-up.Results With the implement of follow-up in patients with GERD,the intervention group was better than the control group in compliance behaviors,including the decrement of smoking and drinking,strong tea,coffee,having midnight snack and spicy food (P<0.05),but there was no difference in the behavior of staying-up between the two groups.Concerning the quality of life,the intervention group was significantly better than the control group in the 6 items excluding the physical and physiological functions (P<0.05).Conclusion Professional follow-ups can improve compliance behavior and quality of life of GERD patients.

Objectives To analyze the relationship between phosphorylation of serine-3 of cofilin1 and Taxol resistance of ovarian cancer and to evaluate the prognostic value of cofilin1 phosphorylation in estimating ovarian cancer survival using clinical samples.Methods Wild type (WT) plasmids with over-expression of wild cofilin1,S3L plasmids with over-expression of cofilin1 and inhibited phosphorylation at serine-3,and siRNA-C plasmids with down-regulation of cofilin1 were constructed using molecular biology techniques.After the SKOV3 and SK-TR30 cell-lines were transfected with these plasmids,changes in biological characteristics and drug resistance after instant transfection were compared.Fifty-one elderly female patients with microscopically confirmed ovarian cancer,who had received chemotherapy with Taxol and cis-platinum (TC)after surgery,including 30 chemo-sensitive and 21 chemo-resistant cases,were recruited in this study.Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression of cofilinl and phosphorylated cofilin in tissue sections from the two groups.Progression free survival(PFS)was analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the proportion of cells increased at the G0/G1 phase(P=0.034)and decreased at the S phase (P=0.031),and the apoptosis rate decreased(P=0.020),in SKOV3 cells with high expression of cofilin1.However,these characteristics disappeared when the wild type was replaced with the inactive mutant S3L.When cofilin1 expression was down-regulated in SK-TR30 cells,the proportion of cells at the G0/G1 phase decreased(P=0.020).The expression of cofilin1 was detected in 56.7 % (17/30)and 57.1% (12/21),respectively,sections of ovarian tumor tissues of the chemo-sensitive and chemoresistant groups,and there was no statistic difference (x2=0.332,P =0.943)between the two groups.The expression of phosphorylated cofilin was much higher in the chemo-resistant group (85.7% or 18/21)than in the chemo-sensitive group (53.3% or 16/30),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.829,P=0.016).The higher expression of phosphorylated cofilin was also correlated with shorter PFS(x2 =21.440,P<0.01,95% CI:0.068-0.883),especially in the chemo-sensitive group.Conclusions Serine-3 phosphorylation status of cofilin 1 is associated with paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer,but the underlying mechanisms of regulation need further investigation.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of the diagnosis and treatment center for Ebola observing ward and reduce infection risk according to allocation scheduling method of nursing staff. To provide reference for other similar tasks. Methods We used the method of grouping fixed group scheduling method and fixed working hours to identify and refine the content of nursing work. Results A total of 65 cases of suspected Ebola including 5 cases diagnosed as EVD patients were cured. No case of infection occurred in nursing staff. Conclusions During the infectious disease nursing work, reasonable personnel allocation and scheduling method can make the nursing staff work with full energy and strength and ensure the realization ofzero infectiontargets.

The second material was gelatin-chitosan. As a capsule material, the gelatin was better than chitosan with single coagulation method. Drug embedding rate was 51.58%, the yield rate was 64.50%, and the average magnetization was 6.93 emu/g. Single coagulation method was better than coacervation method. complex coacervation, we prepared the gelatin-Arabic gum magnetic micro-capsule, gelatin-sodium alginate magnetic micro-capsules, gelatin-sodium carboxymethyl cel ulose magnetic micro-capsules, and gelatin-chitosan magnetic micro-capsules. With the emulsion complex coacervation method, we further prepared the gelatin-Arabic gum magnetic micro-capsule, gelatin-sodium alginate magnetic micro-capsules, gelatin-sodium carboxymethyl cel ulose magnetic micro-capsules, and gelatin-chitosan magnetic micro-capsules. The magnetic gelatin micro-capsules and magnetic chitosan micro-capsules were prepared with single coagulation method.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Taijiquan training on bone density and balance function of post-menopause women. Methods59 volunteers of post-menopausal women were divided into Taijiquan group and control group. Bone density was examined with DPX-L. The balance function were recorded with win-pop balance monitor and star diagram. ResultsBone density in lumbar vertebra, left collum femoris and left Ward's septa were higher in the Taijiquan group than in the control group. The lengths of center excursive loci reduced in Taijiquan group. The distances that the foot could touch were longer at Posterolateral, posteromedial, posterior, lateral(back) directions in the Taijiquan group than in the control group. ConclusionTaijiquan training can improve the bone density and balance function in post-menopause women.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Fluorouracil implants on intraperitoneal chemotherapy safety of advanced gastric cancer patients. METHODS:The information of 264 patients with advanced gastric cancer were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were given Fluorouracil implants 800 mg,scattered into the mesenteric and surgical area,dose of each implantation site less than 200 mg,the distance of implantation range from incision and anastomosis more than 3 cm. All patients were given second generation cephalosporin 30 min before operation,at 3rd h during operation,1-3 d after operation. The occurrence of complications and ADR during hospitalization were observed after operation. RESULTS:After operation,6 patients suffered from complications, with incidence of 2.28%,including 3 cases of gastrointestinal reaction,2 cases of anastomotic bleeding and 1 case of anastomotic leakage. Routine blood test and liver and kidney function were rechecked 3 d after operation,mainly thrombocytopenia and liver function injury,with the incidence of 2.65%. CONCLUSIONS:Fluorouracil implants can be used for intraperitoneal chemotherapy of advanced gastric cancer patients. However,attention should be paid to thrombocytopenia and liver function injury.
