Targeting of tumor cells is crucial for gene therapy of malignant diseases.This can be achieved by tumor targeted gene transfer or tumor specific gene expression, as well as secretion of tumor targeted therapeutic molecules by autologous normal cells.Tumor targeted gene transfer is mediated by the recognition of a class of tumor specific antigens or receptors by corresponding vector fused antibodies or ligands, while therapeutic genes can be selectively expressed in tumor cells under the control of tumor or tissue specific promoters or enhancers, as well as the induction of certain physical, chemical or physiological factors.

Objective: To analyze influencing factors of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on therapeutic effect in patients with coronary chronic total occlusions (CTO). Methods: Clinical data, lesion features and PCI therapeutic results of 65 patients with 72 CTO lesions, who received PCI in our hospital from Jan 2010 to Dec 2012, were retrospectively analyzed. Results: PCI success rate of CTO lesion was 91.67% (66/72); compared with patients with CTO occlusion 3~12 months, there was significant decrease in PCI success rate (97.78% vs. 81.48%) in those with CTO occlusion >12 months; compared with patients with occlusion length ≤15mm, there was significant decrease in PCI success rate (97.96% vs. 78.26%) in those with occlusion length >15mm; compared with patients with mouse tail-like broken ends, there was significant decrease in PCI success rate (96.55% vs. 71.43%) in those with knife cut-like broken ends, P<0.05 all; PCI failed in six lesions, in which four because guidewire failed to pass through lesions and two because balloon failed to pass through lesions; incidence rate of complications was 7.69% during PCI, there were no major adverse cardiovascular events during admission in all patients; symptoms relieving rate of angina pectoris was 90.16% after PCI. Conclusion: Success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention is related to lesion features, CTO occlusion duration etc.

Objective Through the design of comprehensive experiments, the precise medical philo-sophy was put into the medical molecular biology experimental teaching, and to explore its effect. Methods Eight-year medical students of Grade 2012 and Grade 2013 in the Fourth Military Medical University were chosen as the teaching subjects. Experimental group consisted of 36 students of Grade 2013, while control group consisted of 30 students of Grade 2012. Precision medicine-based learning was applied in experimental group while traditional learning method was adopted by the control group. At the end of the course, students of two groups were implemented theoretical and experimental skills assessment; through questionnaire students were required to evaluate the effect of teaching methods and the number of two groups of students who asked questions after class greater than or equal to 1 times was counted to evaluate the students' learning enthusiasm. SPSS 15.0 software was used to make t test and Chi-square analysis for the data of the students. Results The assessment results showed that the experimental group was better than control group, especially in the section of comprehensive experimental design [(16.7 ± 2.04) vs. (13.9 ± 2.87), P=0.000]. The results from questionnaire showed that the satisfaction degree of experimental group was also higher than that of control group in many respects, including learning interests, innovation capability, knowledge mastery, cognition of precision medicine and clinical research, satisfaction with the teaching method (P<0.05). And students' learning enthusiasm and the proportion of the number of students asking questions in the experimental group were higher than the control group (P=0.000). Conclusions Precision medicine-based learning not only changes the situation of slavish imitation and passive acceptance in traditional learning, but also arouses students' interest in study and helps students to cultivate clinical thinking, which is com-mensurate to the characteristics of precision-medicine era.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of different modes of continuous negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on venous ulcer wounds of lower limbs, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:From January 2018 to December 2019, 53 patients with venous ulcer of lower limbs who met the inclusion criteria and hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University were recruited in this prospective randomized controlled study. According to the random number table, the patients were divided into single negative pressure therapy (SNPT) group (19 patients, 11 males and 8 females), cyclic alternating negative pressure therapy (CANPT) group (17 patients, 12 males and 5 females), and routine dressing change (RDC) group (17 patients, 10 males and 7 females), aged (47±11), (49±10), and (47±10) years respectively. After admission, patients in SNPT group were given continuous NPWT with the single negative pressure setting at -13.3 kPa, patients in CANPT group were also given continuous NPWT but with the cyclic alternating negative pressure setting from -16.0 to -10.7 kPa, while patients in RDC group were given dressing change with vaseline gauze soaked with iodophor. The wound healing rate was calculated on treatment day 7 and 14. Transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO 2) around the wound was detected by TcPO 2 meter before treatment and on treatment day 7 and 14. The wound exudate/drainage fluid was collected on treatment day 1, 4, 7, 10, and 14, with the pH value measured using a pH meter, and the volume of exudate/drainage fluid recorded. Before treatment and on treatment day 7 and 14, venous blood was collected to detect the serum levels of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α), transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β 1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Before treatment and on treatment day 7 and 14, wound exudates were collected for bacterial culture, and Visual Analogue Scale and Hamilton Anxiety Scale were used to evaluate the degree of wound pain and anxiety of patients respectively. The length of hospital stay and the total treatment cost were counted. Analysis of variance for repeated measurement, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Kruskal Wallis H test, Mann Whitney U test, chi-square test, Fisher′s exact probability method test, and Bonferroni correction were used to analyze the data. According to the wound healing rate on treatment day 14, the efficiency of patients were divided into two grades of significant healing with wound healing rate≥70% and non significant healing with wound healing rate<70%. According to the two categories of wound healing rate as dependent variables, the levels of TcPO 2, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, TGF-β 1, VEGF, bFGF levels and bacterial detection, wound pain and anxiety before treatment, wound exudate/drainage fluid volume and pH value on treatment day 1 were taken as covariates, and binary classification multifactor logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of significant wound healing. Results:(1) On treatment day 7, the wound healing rate of patients in SNPT group was (33±10) %, which was significantly higher than (24±9) % of RDC group ( P<0.05). On treatment day 14, the wound healing rates of patients in SNPT group and CANPT group were (71±15)% and (66±18)%, respectively, which were significantly higher than (45±19)% of RDC group ( P<0.01). (2) Compared with those of RDC group, the TcPO 2 value around the wound of patients was significantly increased in SNPT group on treatment day 14 and in CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.05 or P<0.01), the pH value of wound drainage fluid of patients was significantly decreased in SNPT group on treatment day 10 and 14 and in CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.05), the volume of wound drainage fluid of patients was significantly reduced in SNPT group on treatment day 10 and 14 and in CANPT group on treatment day 7, 10, and 14 ( Z=-4.060, -4.954, -2.413, -4.085, -4.756, P<0.05 or P<0.01), the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α of patients were significantly decreased in SNPT group and CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.01), the serum level of TGF-β 1 of patients was significantly increased in CANPT group on treatment day 14 ( P<0.05), the serum levels of VEGF and bFGF were significantly increased in SNPT group and CANPT group on treatment day 14 ( P<0.01), the bacteria detection proportion of wound exudate, wound pain, and anxiety scores of patients were significantly decreased in SNPT group and CANPT group on treatment day 7 and 14 ( P<0.01). Compared between the negative pressure therapy two groups, except the wound pain score of patients in CANPT group was significantly lower than that in SNPT group ( P<0.01) on treatment day 7, the other indicators mentioned above were similar. (3) The length of hospital stay of patients in SNPT group was similar to that in CANPT group ( P>0.05), which were significantly shorter than the time in RDC group ( P<0.01). The total treatment cost of patients among the three groups was similar ( F=1.766, P>0.05). (4) Before treatment, the serum levels of TNF-α and bFGF, TcPO 2 around the wound, and the degree of wound pain were risk factors for significant wound healing (odds ratio=1.109, 0.950, 1.140, 2.169, 95% confidence interval=1.012-1.217, 0.912-0.988, 1.008-1.290, 1.288-3.651, P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions:Clinical application of continuous NPWT under single negative pressure mode and cyclic alternating negative pressure mode has a positive effect on improving the wound base and healing rate of venous ulcer of lower limbs. But cyclic alternating negative pressure mode is significantly more effective than single negative pressure mode in improving TcPO 2 around the wound, reducing wound pH value, reducing exudate volume and relieving pain. The serum levels of TNF-α and bFGF, TcPO 2 around the wound and the degree of wound pain were the risk factors that affect the wound healing significantly.
