Objective:To explore the curative effect and adverse reactions of cisplatin combined with rIL-2 on malignant pleural effusion. Methods:Totally 60 cases of patients with malignant pleural effusion were randomly divided into the observation group ( 30 cases) and the control group (30 cases). In the observation group, 30 cases were given intrapleural injection of cisplatin and rIL-2 af-ter the pleural effusions were drained, and in the control group, the patients received intrapleural injection of cisplatin. Both of the two groups were observed of tumor response and drug adverse reactions, compared the quelity of life and immune function indicators before and after treatment. Results:The response rate in the observation group was 83. 3%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (56. 7%) (P<0. 05). The improvement of Karnofsky score in the observation group was 86. 7%, which was also nota-bly higher than that in the control group(63. 3%) (P<0. 05). After the treatment, CD4 level and CD4/CD8 were significantly in-creased in the observation group(P<0. 05), while those in the control group were notably decreased (P<0. 05), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The incidence of adverse reactions shew no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). Conclusion:Cisplatin combined with rIL-2 shows confirmed effects in the patients with malignant pleural effusion.

The activation of p21 kinase 2 (PAK2) has a certain value in cancer research, since its participation in a series of intracellular biological activities. There is a relatively little research on its relationship with the development of tumors. PAK2 can be activated by a variety of upstream signals, especially small G protein Rho family of Rac and Cdc42, and it participates in a variety of important signaling pathways and cell function regulation. Abnormal expression of PAK 2 has been reported in various tumors, which involves in cytoskeletal remodeling, cell motility, apoptosis, signal transduction, gene transcription, translation and angiogenesis. Therefore, PAK2 plays an important role in tumor occurrence and development. The study on PAK2 and the targeting therapy for anti-PAK2 provides a new sight on the treatment and prevention of tumor.

Objective To survey ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and to find the specific clinical features of patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.Methods A total of 198 patients were divided into two groups according to the ratio of ST-segment resolution:relatively adequate ST-segment resolution group (＞ 50％) and inadequate STsegment resolution group (＜ 50％).The clinical features,infarct-related artery and PCI-related evants were evaluated,and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE including target vessel revascularization,recurrent myocardial infarction,or death) were recorded during hospitalization and follow-up period.Multivariate logistic analysis was used to identify relevant factors influencing ST-segment resolution of STEMI patients after treatment with PCI.The Statistical analyses of data were carried out using SPSS 10.0 software.Results (1) There were 156 patients with relativey adequate ST-segment resolution and 42 patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.Of them,there were higher percentage of patients aged over 75years in the inadequate ST-segment resolution group than those in the relatively adequate ST-segment resolution group (9 cases,21.4％ vs.14 cases,9.0％ ; P ＜0.05).(2) In inadequate ST-segment resolution group,thetotal ischemic time was significant longer [(5.2 ±2.2) h vs.(3.0 ± 1.6) h,P ＜0.01].The infarctrelated artery (IRA) was more common at left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) (27 cases,64.3％ vs.69 cases,44.2％; P ＜ 0.05) and there were fewer patients with TIM grade 3 of IRA in inadequate ST-segment resolution group after primary PCI than that in relative adequate ST-segment resolution group (32 cases,76.2％ vs.140 cases,89.7％ ; P ＜ 0.05).There was a lower rate of using GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist and a higher rate of prescribing IABP in inadequate ST-segment resolution group.(3) There is a higher incidence of MACE during hospitalization and follow-up period in patients with inadequate ST-segment resolution.(4) Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,the total ischemic time were related to ST-segment resolution.Conclusions The patients with age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,longer ischemia time,and unemployment GP Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist before PCI were prone to get inadequate ST-segment resolution and poor prognosis.Age over 75 years,LAD occlusion,and longer ischemic time were independent risk factors of the inadequate ST-segment resolution in STEMI patients after emergency PCI.

Objective To evaluate the role of damage control surgery (DCS) in the diagnosis and treatment of sharp abdominal injury combined with multiple trauma.Methods Sixty patients with sharp abdominal injury accompanied by multiple trauma treated from January 2005 to August 2014 were reviewed retrospectively.There were 55 males and 5 females,aged at 15-79 years (mean,32.08 years).Thirty patients underwent definite operative treatment (control group),and 30 patients had DCS (DCS group).Between-group differences were examined in pre-and post-operative hemodynamic changes,function recovery,cure rate and complication incidence.Results All patients showed improved hemodynamic parameters after operation.The cure rate was 97％ (29/30) in DCS group versus 50％ (15/30) in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Complications were reported in 17％ (5) of the patients in DCS group versus 40％ (12) of the patients in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion DCS is associated with decreased rate of complications and increased cure rate in the treatment of sharp abdominal injury combined with multiple trauma.

Objective To preliminarily understand the genotype characteristics of Toxoplasma gondii in blood of HIV?posi?tive persons in Lincang City,Yunnan Province. Method Two segments of SAG2 gene of T. gondii from blood samples of HIV?positive persons in Lincang City were extracted and amplified by using the nested PCR method and the genotype was identified and compared with the standard strain(Type I)of Toxoplasma gondii. Results Thirty?five SAG2 genes(241 bp)and 35 SAG2 genes(221 bp)of T. gondii were amplified from 170 blood samples of the HIV?positive people,and 4 of each case were selected and digested with enzyme,then 2 aim gene fragments of each case were chosen and compared with the standard strain (Type I)of T. gondii. The digestion of SAG2 gene(241 bp)showed the genotype of the blood samples was Type I or Type II, and the digestion of SAG2 gene(221 bp)confirmed that the genotype was Type I. Conclusion It is preliminarily confirmed that the genotype of T. gondii in blood of HIV?positive persons in Lincang City,Yunnan Province is Type I.

The coding sequence for the mature peptide of porcine lactoferrin (Plf) was synthesized according to the codon usage of lactobacillus, to establish optimized porcine lactoferrin Lactobacillus expression system. The gene was ligated into the Xho I/BamH I site of Lactobacillus expression vector pPG612.1 and the recombinant plasmid pPG612.1-plf was transformed individually into Lactobacillus casei ATCC393, Lactobacillus pentosus KLDS1.0413, Lactobacillus plantarum KLDS1.0344 or Lactobacillus paracasei KLDS1.0652 by electroporation. After induction with xylose, expression of the recombinant proteins was detected by Western blotting and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Secretion of recombinant Plf proteins from four recombinant species was determined quantitatively by ELISA. The antibacterial activities of recombinant proteins were measured by agar diffusion method. The result shows that Plf was correctly expressed in four species of recombinant lactobacillus, with molecular weight of about 73 kDa. The expression levels in recombinant Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus pentosus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei were 9.6 μg/mL, 10.8 μg/mL, 12.5 μg/mL and 9.9 μg/mL, respectively. Antimicrobial activity experiment shows that the recombinant proteins were active against E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria, Pasteurella. The recombinant Plf expressed by recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum showed the best antibacterial activity among all recombinant lactobacillus species. These data represent a basis for the development and application of porcine lactoferrin from recombinant lactobacillus.

Objective To investigate the effect of rhubarb and ephedra prescription on the pulmonary function and blood pressure circadian rhythm in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).Methods One hundred and enghty six patients with AECOPD admitted to Department of Integrated Medicine of Harrison International Peace Hospital from December 2013 to Auguest 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a control group 90 cases and an experimental group 96 cases by random number talbe method. The patients in control group were treated with conventional therapy, while those in the experimental group were treated with the conventional therapy and additionally rhubarb and ephedra prescription (including rhubarb 6 g, ephedra 5 g, agrimony 15 g, licorice 15 g), taken orally 2 times a day, the therapeutic course in the two groups being 2 weeks. The diference of blood gas analysis, pulmonary function indexes, dyspnea score (mMRC) and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were compared before and after treatment in the two groups.Results Compared with before treatment, the pH value, arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), forced vital capacity (FVC), one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), FEV1/FVC of the two groups were significantly increased after treatment, while the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and mMRC score were significantly lowered, and the changes in the experimental group were more significant than those in the control group [pH: 7.40±0.04 vs. 7.37±0.03, PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 81.09±12.54 vs. 76.27±12.20, PaCO2 (mmHg): 48.01±8.27 vs. 51.91±8.37, FVC (L): 2.37±0.39 vs. 2.13±0.45, FEV1 (L): 2.08±0.38 vs. 1.87±0.41, FEV1/FVC: (69.01±12.04)% vs. (64.02±11.81)%, mMRC: 2.02±0.76 vs. 2.40±0.87, allP < 0.05 orP < 0.01]. Based on the percentage of blood pressure circadian value difference, the blood pressure circadian rhythm was divided into dipper type, non dipper type, super dipper type and anti dipper type, 24.2% patients were of dipper type and 75.8% patients were of non dipper, super dipper and anti dipper types. There was no significant difference in daytime systolic blood pressure (dSBP) between patients with super dipper and dipper types (P > 0.05),and the dSBP (mmHg) in patients with non dipper type was significantly higher than that in patients with dipper, super dipper and anti dipper types (131.55±5.08 vs. 117.78±4.47, 118.26±4.24, 113.37±3.97, allP < 0.05); the daytime diastolic blood pressure [dDBP (mmHg)] of anti dipper, non dipper type, dipper type, super dipper type increased in turn (respectively, 63.27±2.80, 70.24±3.82, 73.98±2.61, 82.96±4.52, allP < 0.05); the night SBP (nSBP) of anti dipper type was the highest (127.38±4.98) mmHg, and the nSBP of super dipper type was the lowest (89.07±3.81) mmHg; the night DBP (nDBP) of dipper type was lower than that of non dipper, anti dipper and super dipper types (mmHg: 63.57±1.37 vs. 68.86±2.12, 67.15±1.56, 67.89±2.04, allP < 0.05). After treatment, the proportion of patients with dipper type [66.7% (64/96) vs. 54.4% (49/90)], no dipper type [11.5% (11/96) vs. 8.9% (8/90)], and super dipper type [5.2% (5/96) vs. 2.2% (2/90)] in experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the proportion of patients with anti dipper type [16.7% (16/96) vs. 34.4% (31/90)] in experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (allP< 0.05).Conclusion The Rhubarb and ephedra prescription can obviously improve the blood gas analysis indexes, pulmonary function and blood pressure rhythm in patients with AECOPD.

Moxibustion,which is simple for manipulation and effective,has always been a very important way for external treatment.Acupuncture and moxibustion were complementary to each other sincc ancient times.but modem people usually only pay attention to acupuncture and neglect the usage of moxibustion.In this paper the importance of moxibustion is expounded briefly.

Mucin is widely expressed in various tissues and organs.The abnormal expression of mucin can be found in many digestive system malignancies,which may be related to the Wnt signaling pathway.Mucins 1 and 4 can promote the occurrence,development and malignancy of various digestive system cancers,and even promote tumor invasion and metastasis.The expression levels of Mucin 2 in different types of tumors are different,and the high or low expression has different role in tumor promotion and inhibition.Mucin 15 is abnormally lowly expressed in digestive system cancers,which involves in tumorigenesis and development as well as invasion and metastasis.Mucins 3,5 and 6 are also more closely related to digestive system cancers.In this paper,the research progress on the relationship between mucins and digestive system cancers was reviewed.
