Objective To investigate the multidrug-resistance reversal action and mechanism of dihydroartemisin (DHA) on human colon cancer cell line HCT8/ADR. Methods The cytotoxicity of dihydroartemisin combined with doxorubicin(DOX) was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay and cell apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry. Western blot assay was used to measure the autophagy. Results The combined treatment with dihydroartemisin and doxorubicin significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity in HCT8/ADR cells and effectively increased the apoptotic level. Autophagy was also induced by the combined treatment , which maybe played a crucial role in the regulation of doxorubicin-sensitization of HCT8/ADR cells. Conclusion The results indicated that dihydroartemisin can reverse multidrug resistance through increasing the doxorubicin-sensitivity of HCT8/ADR cells.

Purpose To investigate the diagnosis,differential diagnosis and clinical manifestation of primary plasma cell leukemia (PPCL) and lymphoma with increased plasma cell.Methods Through clinical data and cell morphology,flow cytometry (FCM),immunofixation electrophoresis and immunohistochemistry of EliVision two-step examination were used to analyze 7 cases of PPCL and 3 cases of lymphoma with increased plasma cell.Results All patients with PPCL and lymphoma with increased plasma cell presented with anemia,thrombocytopenia,fever,liver and spleen and lymph node swelling.The proportion of plasma cells in peripheral blood morphology were larger than 20％,accompanied by morphological abnormality.FCM of peripheral blood showed all 7 cases of PPCL expressed CD38 and CD138,CD56 expression in the 2 cases and CD20 in the 2 cases.The light chain (Lamda,Kappa) showed a monoclonal restricted expression,which was consistent with the diagnosis of PPCL.CD19 and CD45 were weakly positive in 3 cases of lymphoma with increased plasma cell,CD38 and CD138 were positive,and no restricted expression was found in light chain IgL,wich belonging to the immunophenotypes of normal plasma cells.Of 3 cases of light chain (Ig) without restrictive expression,2 of them were angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (ATCL) and 1 case was CD30-positive sinusoidal large B-cell lymphoma (CD30 + SLBCL) that confirmed by lymph node biopsy and pathological examination.Conclusion The PPCL and lymphoma with increased plasma cell have the same clinical manifestations and similar morphological characteristics of blood cells.The diagnosis of PPCL should be combined with immunoelectrophoresis and FCM,and the diagnosis of lymphoma with increased plasma cell needs to be confirmed by histological examination of lymph nodes.

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor activities of cell-penetrating peptide ( CPP) - mediated trichosanthin ( TCS) , which is a recombinant protein obtained from Radix Trichosanthis. Methods Cysteine residue was introduced to the C-terminus of TCS by protein recombinant technique, and then with the newly-formed terminal as the modification site, TCS was coupled with CPP. As a target protein, CPP-mediated TCS was isolated and purified by affinity chromatography. The expression of the target protein and its responsiveness to reducing substances were detected by using the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The cellular uptake rate of CPP-mediated TCS was determined by using cell uptake test, and its anti-tumor activity was measured by using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Results The TCS-CPP compound had been successfully developed in this study, and showed certain reducing responsiveness. After modified with CPP, TCS had higher cellular uptake rate and stronger anti-tumor effect on HeLa and MCF-7 cells. Conclusion TCS modified by CPP can enhance the anti-tumor activities of TCS.

Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases comprise a family of protein-serine/threonine kinases, which are highly conserved in protein structures from unicellular eukaryotic organisms to multicellular organisms, including mammals. These kinases, including ERKs, JNKs and p38s, are regulated by a phosphorelay cascade, with a prototype of three protein kinases that sequentially phosphorylate one another. MAPKs transduce extracellular signals into a variety of cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, survival, death, and differentiation. Consistent with their essential cellular functions, MAPKs have been shown to play critical roles in embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis and various pathologies. In this review, we discuss recent findings that reveal the profound impact of these pathways on chronic inflammation and, particularly, inflammation-associated cancer development.

Objective:To analyze the commonalities and differences of " Internet plus healthcare" related policies in the eastern, central and western regions of China before and after the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide references for further improving China′s " Internet plus healthcare" policy.Methods:Collecting the policies of " Internet plus healthcare" promulgated by 31 provinces(autonomous regions, municipalities)in China from April 2018 to December 2020 on the websites of various government departments, extracting keywords based on content analysis methods, and calculating degree centralities using UCINET 6 software. A comparison of the policies of the eastern, central and western regions between the pre epidemic stage(April 2018 to December 2019)and the COVID-19 pandemic stage(January 2020 to December 2020)was carried out.Results:In the pre epidemic stage, Internet diagnosis and treatment, " Internet plus medical service price" and quality supervision were the focus of attention in all regions. But the eastern region paid more attention to the policy planning of Internet hospital operation and Internet medical application, the central region focused on the transformation and efficiency improvement of medical service process by Internet technology, and the western region paid more attention to encourage the application of telemedicine to solve the difficulty of seeing a doctor. In the pandemic stage, the " Internet plus service price" was the policy focus in all regions, mostly in medical insurance payment, and the policy difference was not obvious among the eastern, central and western regions.Conclusions:Before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the policy of " Internet plus healthcare " promulgated by the local governments in eastern, central and western regions had different emphasis and different characteristics. Our suggestion was to improve the policy system, standardize industry supervision, strengthen information security, orderly interconnect medical insurance, and actively promote the exchange of policy experiences among the provinces.

The main clinical research advances of critical care in 2023 includes: new trials of Chinese herbal medicine, hydroxocobalamin (vitamin B12), methylene blue as well glucocorticoids have shown the potential to improve outcomes of patients with sepsis and septic shock; international committees launched new global definition and managing recommendations for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Besides, a cluster of new evidences has emerged in many aspects as following: fluid control strategy in sepsis (restrictive/liberative), antibiotic infusion strategy (continuous/intermittent), oxygen-saturation targets for mechanical ventilation (conservative/liberative), blood pressure targets after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (hypotension/hypertension), blood pressure targets after successful stroke thrombectomy (intensive/conventional), and nutritional support strategies (low protein-calories/conventional protein-calories, fasting/persistent feeding before extubation). Thus, given above progress, carrying out high -quality domestic multi-center clinical registration researches, constructing shareable standardized databases, as well raising public awareness of sepsis, should be the essential steps to improve our level of intensive care medicine.

The 2nd round of the third-party evaluation of the National Healthcare Improvement Initiative was made during Dec 2016 and Jan 2017.The methods, organization and implementation of the survey and the technical roadmap were the same as those of the 1st round of evaluation.The total number of respondents was 94 218,including 19 773 doctors,24 315 nurses,29 105 outpatients and 21 025 inpatients. 142 typical cases were collected from sample hospitals.The key findings showed that, the National Healthcare Improvement Initiative has been implemented quite well in the 2nd year, achievements and challenges exist side by side.The overall satisfaction rate of both outpatients and inpatients was good, both were about 90%.Further improvement is expected.Hospital staff have been actively involved in this Initiative,but they are not satisfied with their working environments and compensations.

Objective To explore the influencing factors of outpatients′satisfaction in different types of hospitals,and to generate evidence for further healthcare improvement in different types of hospitals. Methods Based on the inpatient satisfaction survey results of the third party evaluation of the National Healthcare Improvement Initiative in 136 public tertiary hospitals,we divided the outpatients in four groups according to the hospital types as general, traditional Chinese medicine, maternal and child and specialty hospitals.SPSS 22.0 and SAS 9.4 were used to conduct the Pearson Chi-square test, variance analysis, Bonferroni test for univariate analysis, and multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis of the influencing factors of outpatients′satisfaction in different types of hospitals.Results A total of 29 105 complete questionnaires were collected from the outpatients.There were statistically significant differences between the overall outpatient satisfactions of different types of hospitals(P <0.01).Hospital experience was the common most significant positive factors affecting the overall satisfaction of outpatients in all types of hospitals(P<0.01,OR=4.10,4.39,3.83,4.36).Waiting time for consultation was the common most significant negative influencing factor of the overall outpatient satisfaction of all types of hospitals(P<0.01, OR=0.99).Conclusions In the next round of healthcare improvements, all types of hospitals should focus on shortening outpatient waiting time.In a short run, hospitals can address this issue through more appropriate allocation of resources within hospitals.In a longer run, there is a need to rationalize the allocation of multiple resources within the overall health service delivery system.It is necessary to strengthen patient centered humane care,and to meet diverse healthcare needs.Western areas are called for enhanced investment and strengthened healthcare improvements.
