Objective To investigate the factors relating to oral infection in elderly patients treated with head and neck radiotherapy for malignant lymphoma and to provide the clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of oral infections.Methods A total of 97 patients treated with head and neck radiotherapy for malignant lymphoma from March 2007 to March 2012 were enrolled.The factors relating to oral infection after head and neck radiation therapy were analyzed.Results Totally 25 patients (25.77%,25/97) had oral infections.The single-factor analysis showed that education degree,occupation,cancer staging,oral self-cleaning,oral environment,chemotherapy were the important factors relating to oral infection (x2 =8.634,6.863,9.237,11.870,7.563,8.012,P<0.01).The incidence of oral infection had no significant differences between male and female patients.Conclusions There are many factors relating to oral infection in elderly patients treated with head and neck radiotherapy for malignant lymphoma,and poor oral self-cleaning,history of gum disease and chemotherapy are the important related factors.

Objective:To express and purify the fusion protein of GST-FILIP-1L and prepare its polyclonal antibody. Methods:The constructed recombinant expression vectors pGEX-4T3-FILIP-1L were transformed into Escherichia Coli BL21. FILIP-1L fusion protein was induced by IPTG and purified by Glutathion Sepharse 4B . The rabbit was immunized by the purified fusion protein,and pro-duced serum with anti-FILIP-1L antibody. The titer of polyclonal antibody was detected by ELISA, the anti-FILIP-1L polyclonal antibody was purified by Active and its combining specificity with FILIP-1L protein was further identified by Western blot. Results:The GST-FILIP-1L fusion protein was highly expressed in E. coli, and its specific polyclonal antibody was obtained after the immunization. The polyclonal antibody purified by Active Ester Agrose was able to combine specially with FILIP-1L protein and transformed FILIP-1L protein in 293 cells and FILIP-1L protein of liver cancer cells, respectively. Conclusion: The GST-FILIP-1L fusion protein was expressed successfully,the anti-GST-FILIP-1L polyclonal antibodies with high titer and specificity are successfully prepared,these antibodies provide an useful experimental tool to research the biological function of the FILIP-1L protein.

By organizing and studying on the original works of LI Wenrong, this paper aimed to explore his theories and methods for treating liver diseases. LI Wenrong believes that the liver is easily prone to physiological disturbances, difficult to pacify, and can be compared to a “chariot” that moves horizontally and vertically, acting as a “general” for both civil and military affairs. Pathologically, liver diseases tend to spread to other organs, resulting in ever-changing pathological changes, often affecting emotional health. In terms of therapeutic methods, LI Wenrong proposes ten methods including draining fire to calm the liver, nourishing water to moisten wood, clearing metal to calm the liver, calming gallbladder and harmonizing liver, subduing yang with shell-drug, treating liver diseases by supplementing spleen, soothing the liver with sweetness, astringing the liver with sourness, relieving the liver with spiciness, and draining the liver with excess-fire. These methods have great guidance and reference value for contemporary clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine.

【Objective】 To analyze the risk factors related to the number of RBCs transfusion in neonates with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), and to explore the complications and the predictive indicators related to the increase of RBCs transfusion frequency. 【Methods】 NRDS newborns admitted to our hospital from January 2017 to January 2019 were selected and divided into three groups according to the number of RBCs transfusion, namely, non-transfusion group, 1~ 2 times group, and ≥3 times group. The clinical data and complications of the three groups were compared, and the risk factors leading to the increase of the number of blood transfusion were analyzed. 【Results】 Such factors as maternal age ≥35 years old, gestational age, birth weight, hemoglobin(Hb) at admission, non-invasive ventilation time, hospitalization time in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU), total enteral feeding time affected the blood transfusion frequency of the three groups(χ2=14.24, F=28.44, 41.70, 60.05, 3.83, 5.97, 4.40, P<0.05). The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), septicemia and feeding intolerance in blood transfusion ≥3 times group was significantly higher than that in 1~2 times group and non-transfusion group (χ2=19.30, 18.68, 6.98, P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that birth weight, Hb at admission, length of stay in NICU and time of reaching total enteral feeding were independent risk factors for≥ 3 times of blood transfusion (OR=-3.942, -0.186, 0.530, 0.324, P<0.05). The ROC curve showed that birth weight and Hb at admission were effective in predicting blood transfusion ≥3 times, and the area under the ROC curve were 0.846 and 0.802, respectively, and the truncation values were 2.315 kg and 157.5 g/L. 【Conclusion】 Feeding intolerance, NEC and septicemia are the complications of the increased transfusion frequency in children with NRDS, and birth weight and hemoglobin at admission are effective in predicting blood transfusion ≥ 3 times.
