Objective: To observe the effect of strengthening qi and nourishing yin recipe (SQNY recipe) on the expressions of estrogen receptor ? (ER?) and CyclinD1 of Lewis lung cancer in C57BL/6 mice with immunohistochemistry, and discuss the mechanism of its anti-proliferation and anti-metastasis effects, and analyse the correlation between ER? and CyclinD1. Methods: Twenty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups. They were all transplanted with Lewis lung cancer cells, and received the interventions the next day as follows: tumor-bearing control group was fed with 0.9% NaCl, and TCM group was treated with SQNY recipe, and DDP group was given intraperitoneal DDP injection. All of mice were killed on the 20th day, weighed the tumor and counted lung metastases to calculate the inhibition rates of tumor growth and metastasis. The expressions of ER?, CyclinD1 in tumor tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: The inhibition rates of tumor growth and metastasis were 35.02% and 54.20% in TCM group, and were 41.18% and 39.02% in DDP group, respectively (all P

Objective By detecting vascular cysteine-rich 61(Cyr61) related factor,connective tissue growth factor (CTGF),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CD105 markers of microvascular density (MVD) of muscle tissue in patients with PM/DM,the role and significance of the expression of Cyr61,CTGF,VEGF and CD105 in the process of vascular lesions of dermatomyosits (DM) and polymyosits (PM) were discussed.Methods The expression of Cyr61,CTGF,VEGF and CD105 markers of micro vascular density (MVD) were detected in 10 cases of DM,10 cases of PM and 20 controls by using immunohistochemical Envision two step method.Data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) statistical software.Fisher's exact probability analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were conducted.Results Compared with the control group,Cyr61,CTGF,VEGF positive expression rate in muscle tissue of patients with DM and PM group were significantly different (P<0.01),the positive expression rates of Cyr61,CTGF,VEGF in DM group and PM group were 90%,70%,90%,80%,80%,70%,and the control group (5%,10%,5%) respectively.In the muscle tissue of patients with DM and PM group,CD105 markers of capillaries could be seen,and MVD in DM and PM group were higher than that in the control group,the difference was statistically significant (F=8.103,P=0.001).Cyr61,CTGF and VEGF protein expression levels in muscle tissueof patients with DM and PM were positively correlated with MVD.Conclusion The muscle tissue of PM/DMpatients may have new blood vessels formation.Cyr61,CTGF,VEGF may be involved in the formation of newblood vessels in the PM/DM muscle tissue.The results of this study suggest that microvascular lesion plays animportant role in the immune pathogenesis of inflammatory myopathy such as PM/DM.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect on ultrasound-guided vascular access-interventional therapy of hemodialysis in day surgery mode.Methods:Hemodialysis patients with vascular access dysfunction who underwent ultrasound-guided interventional therapy in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from September 1, 2018 to October 31, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic and clinical data were collected by electronic medical record system and telephone follow-up. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the patency rate of vascular access.Results:A total of 421 cases of ultrasound-guided vascular access intervention were performed in 269 patients. The technical success rates of stenosis, chronic occlusion and acute occlusion lesion were 98.8%, 90.6% and 86.4%, respectively, and 406 cases (96.4%) of 246 patients were clinically successful. The postoperative brachial artery blood flow was 821(627, 1 029) ml/min, which was significantly higher than 309(202, 453) ml/min before the operation ( Z=-13.547, P<0.001). No serious complications occurred during and after the operation. At 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after operation, the primary patency rate was 74%, 59%, 48% and 45%, respectively, the assisted primary patency rate was 94%, 91%, 88% and 82%, and the secondary patency rate was 96%, 93%, 91% and 86%. Compared with the conventional inpatient surgery mode, the total cost of the day surgery mode was significantly reduced [12 067(10 051, 13 198) yuan vs 14 986(12 411, 20 643) yuan, Z=-13.185, P<0.001], and the hospital stay was significantly shortened [5.1(3.5, 6.9) h vs 73.4(31.6, 146.6) h, Z=-13.348, P<0.001]. Conclusion:It is safe and effective to perform interventional therapy for vascular access malfunction under ultrasound in day surgery mode, which can save cost and time of hospitalization, and can be carried out in hospitals with relevant conditions.

Lung cancer tops the disease list in the world due to the high incidence and mortality, and about 85% of lung cancer cases is non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Most NSCLC patients are in the advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, with a low 5-year survival. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) plays a role in the comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors. Oral Chinese patent medicines, as an important part of TCM, have the advantages of stable preparations, mild taste, simple package, and accurate effective ingredients, which are different from decoctions. They have been widely used in the adjuvant treatment of NSCLC. In clinical practice, the combination of oral Chinese patent medicines with chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or radiotherapy, as well as the application of the oral Chinese patent medicines alone, can increase efficiency, reduce toxicity, prolong the survival time of patients, and improve the quality of life. The mechanisms of oral Chinese patent medicines in the treatment of NSCLC mainly include inhibiting the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of lung cancer cells, promoting the apoptosis of lung cancer cells, inhibiting tumor neovascularization, reversing multidrug resistance, and regulating the immune functions, which reflects the multi-pathway and multi-target manner of TCM. The oral Chinese patent medicines commonly used in the clinical treatment of NSCLC include Jinfukang oral liquid, Shenyi capsules, Pingxiao capsules, Xiao'aiping tablets, Kanglaite capsules, compound Cantharis capsules, Huisheng oral liquid, Yangzheng Xiaoji capsules, Xihuang pills, Zilongjin tablets, and Cinobufagin capsules. There are many clinical and basic studies about the treatment of NSCLC with these medicines, while a systematic review remains to be carried out. Therefore, we systematically reviewed the mechanisms and clinical application of commonly used oral Chinese patent medicines in the adjuvant treatment of NSCLC, aiming to provide reference for follow-up research and clinical treatment.

【Objective】 To explore the mechanism of macrophage-inducible C-type lectin (Mincle) and microinflammatory state in uremia. 【Methods】 SD rats were randomly divided into uremia group and sham operation group. The morphology and permeability of intestinal tissue, the morphology of intestinal tissue and macrophages were observed by transmission electron microscope, the expression of Mincle was detected in intestinal tissue sections, and the expressions of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) and NF-kappa B (NF-κB) protein on the surface of macrophages were detected by Western blotting. After the plasma was separated, the levels of endotoxin, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleulin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by Limulus lysate dynamic turbidimetric assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS19.0 software. 【Results】 The expression of Mincle in the jejunum, ileum, and colon in uremia group was higher than that in sham-operation group (P<0.05). The expressions of TLR4 and NF-κB protein significantly differed in the ileum, jejunum and colon in uremia group (P<0.001). The levels of endotoxin, CRP, IL-6, and TNF-α were significantly increased in uremia group compared with sham-operation group (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In uremia, Mincle on the surface of intestinal macrophages increases and further through TLR4/NF-κB pathway mediates the transformation of intestinal macrophages to M1 type, releasing inflammatory products and causing systemic microinflammation.
