Newborn larva (NBL) antigens of Trichinella spiralis were analysed by Immuroblot,and were comparied with the adult and muscle larva antigens.The SDS-PAGE patterns of NBL somatic constituents consisted of about 40 polypeptide bands,which were obviously different from those of adult and muscle larva.Immunoblot analysis indicated that immunization with NBL could induce a stage specific immune response.The molecular weight of specific NBL antigens were 129,120,89,87,79,74,72,64,58,43,40,38,34,32,and 20kDa.But during the natural course of the infection,we could not detect the antibodies of anti-NBL in the host.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of cetuximab in the adjuvant chemotherapy treat-ment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical treatment. METH-ODS:Retrieved from Cochrane Library,PubMed,CJFD and Wanfang database,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about cetux-imab adjuvant chemotherapy (test group) versus single chemotherapy (control group) in the treatment of advanced NSCLC were collected,and Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.2 statistical software after extracting data and evaluating quality. RESULTS:A total of 8 RCT were included,involving 2 367 patients. Results of Meta-analysis showed survival rate in 1 year [OR=1.33,95%CI(1.08,1.64),P=0.006],partial remission rate [OR=1.48,95%CI(1.23,1.78),P<0.001],total effective rate [OR=1.34,95%CI(1.19,1.51),P<0.001],incidence of leucopenia [OR=1.50,95%CI(1.23,1.83),P<0.001],incidence of rash [OR=53.26,95%CI(13.09,216.65),P<0.001] and incidence of infusion reactions [OR=3.72,95%CI(1.86,7.42),P<0.001] in test group were significantly higher than those of control group,there were significant differences in 2 groups. However,there were no significant differences in the complete remission rate [OR=1.57,95%CI(0.91,2.70),P=0.11] and incidences of other ADR(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Cetuximab has good efficacy in the adjuvant chemotherapy treatment of advanced NSCLC,however,the incidence of ADR should be prevented in clinic. Duo to the methodology limit of included studies,large-scale and high quality RCT are required for further validation of the conclusions.

Recent studies reported that thymoquinone (TQ), a component derived from the medicinal spice Nigella sativa (also called black cumin), exhibited inhibitory effects on cell proliferation of many cancer cell lines. This study was performed to investigate the anti-metastatic effect of thymoquinone on the pancreatic cancer in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that thymoquinone suppressed the migration and invasion of Panc-1 cells in a does-dependent manner. To investigate the possible mechanisms involved in these events, Western blotting analysis was performed, and found that thymoquinone significantly down-regulates NF-kappaB and MMP-9 in Panc-1 cells. In addition, metastatic model simulating human pancreatic cancer was established by orthotropic implantation of histologically intact pancreatic tumor tissue into the pancreatic wall of nude mice. And administration of thymoquinone significantly reduced tumor metastasis compared to untreated control. Furthermore, the expression of NF-kappaB and MMP-9 in tumor tissues was also suppressed after treatment with thymoquinone. Taken together, the results indicate that thymoquinone exerts anti-metastatic activity on pancreatic cancer both in vitro and in vivo, which may be related to down-regulation of NF-kappaB and its regulated molecules such as MMP-9 protein. Consequently, these results provide important insights into thymoquinone as an antimetastatic agent for the treatment of human pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To investigate the changes of intestinal flora and serum amino acid levels in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease(PD)at different stages, and to provide evidence for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of PD.Methods:A total of 140 elderly PD patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2018 to August 2019 were enrolled and divided into PD course <5 years group(n=70)and PD course≥5 years group(n=70). Ninety subjects without PD confirmed by medical examination in our hospital were included as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR of 16S rDNA gene was used to detect levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium prasus, Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Prevotella copri and Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria in the gut, and the high-performance liquid chromatography was used to detect the serum amino acids in the three groups.Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium prasalis and Prevotella copri in the intestines were decreased and Enterobacter level was increased in PD course <5 years group and PD course≥5 year group( F=20.863, 32.251, 23.166, 24.683 and 10.136, all P<0.001). The serum levels of methionine, tryptophan, lysine and glutamate in PD course <5 years and PD course≥5 year group were decreased as compared with the control group( F=5.858, 5.877, 4.183 and 25.462, all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum glutamate level was positively correlated with Clostridium prastia in the intestine( r=0.647, P=0.002)and negatively correlated with Prevotella copri( r=-0.559, P=0.010). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the protective factors in the intestines of elderly PD patients were Bifidobacterium( OR=0.186, 95% CI: 0.054-0.637, P=0.007), Lactobacillus( OR=0.283, 95% CI: 0.098-0.816, P=0.020), Clostridium prastia( OR=0.232, 95% CI: 0.063-0.851, P=0.028), and Prevotella copri( OR=0.222, 95% CI: 0.058-0.851, P=0.028), and the risk factor was Enterobacter( OR=5.119, 95% CI: 1.406-18.636, P=0.013). Conclusions:The decreases of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, Prevotella copri and Enterobacter levels in the intestinal tract of PD patients, and the decrease of serum glutamate level may be correlated to the progression of PD.
