Glioblastoma is a malignant tumor in central nervous system, which has strong invasion, poor prognosis and short survival time. At present, the main treatment strategy of glioblastoma is surgical excision, supplemented by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, due to incomplete resection and high recurrence rate, it is urgent to find novel therapeutic method for glioblastoma. Photodynamic therapy, as a promising non-surgical treatment, provides a new strategy for postoperative adjuvant therapy of glioblastoma. This review summarizes the mechanism and clinical application of photodynamic therapy mediated by various photosensitizers in glioblastoma, in order to provide help for the treatment of glioblastoma.

Objective To explore the effect of erythropoietin(EPO) on apoptosis of human renal tubular(HK-2) cells induced by postasphyxial-serum of neonates.Methods HK-2 cells were used as target cells.The experiment was divided into 4 groups,control group(n=8):HK-2 cells were maintained in standard medium;asphyxia group(n=8):HK-2 cells were treated with serum obtained from neonates with asphyxia.Each culture medium replaced with 200 mL/L suffocation DMEM/F12 serum culture medium;EPO pretreatment group(n=8):HK-2 cells were pretreated 24 h with serum contains 5?104 IU/L EPO,and then deal as asphyxia group;EPO and 5-hydroxydecanoic acid sodium salt(5-HD) pretreatment group(n=8): HK-2 cells were pretreated 24 h with serum contains 5?104 IU/L EPO and 500 ?mol/L 5-HD,and then deal as asphyxia group.All cells were cultured at 37 ℃ in humidified atmosphere with 50 mL/L CO2 for 24 h.The apoptosis rate of HK-2 cells was detected by flow cytometer.The expressions of Caspase-3 and X-linked inlnibitor of apoptosis protein(XIAP) of HK-2 cells were detected by using immunohistochemical method.Results Compared with control group,after stimulated with postasphyxial-serum,the apoptosis rate and the expression of Caspase-3 of HK-2 cells were significantly increased(Pa

AIM: To explore the dynamic distribution of pupil size and center, the eccentricity distribution of corneal light reflection, and its correlation analysis about suitable for femtosecond laser combined with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis.

METHODS: Randomly selected 225 patients(407 eyes)who underwent femtosecond laser combined with excimer laser in situ keratomileusis at Yanbian University Hospital in 2019 from January to May, preoperative use of Wavelight Allegro Topolyzer Corneal Topography to measure the pupil size and center position, the German Wavelight EX500 excimer Laser(500Hz)records the deviation between the pupil center and the coaxially sighted corneal light reflex when the patient is supine.

RESULTS:The average displacement distribution between the center of the cornea and the center of the pupil is 0.322±0.194mm, and 64% of the eyes are ≤0.40mm. The average displacement distribution of P-Dist(the eccentricity between the pupil center and the coaxially sighted corneal light reflex point)is 0.225±0.102mm, and 80% of the eyes are ≤0.30mm. The coaxially sighted corneal light reflex point is mainly deviated to the superior temporal side of the corneal center(34%). The X-axis of the left eye in low light conditions: -0.061±0.084mm, and the X-axis of the right eye: -0.016±0.059mm(P=0.002)(the left eye shifted to the temporal side in the dark light). The corneal transverse diameter(WTW)was positively correlated with changes in pupil diameter(dark pupil diameter-bright pupil diameter)(r=0.270, P<0.001).

CONCLUSION: The left eye should be adjusted to a position of the machining center within 0.061mm. If the cornea is too large, try to maintain a dark light environment during the operation to improve the efficiency of pupil matching. This study further confirms the necessity of rationally positioning the cutting center under different angle kappa states.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the direct and indirect outcomes of influencing factors on smoking behaviors among adolescents.

METHODSSelf-administered questionnaires were used to collect smoking-related information from 2021 respondents. Measurement models were built by confirmatory factor analysis and parameters were estimated by ERLS method. The final structural equation model was determined by comprehensive evaluation and necessary modification.

RESULTSThree latent variables were extracted from 10 manifest variables of environment, while only one latent variable was identified from 9 manifest variables of attitudes. The goodness of fit for the structural equation model was satisfactory that all indices had met corresponding requirements. The final model could explain 38.8% of the variance of smoking behaviors. Four factors (smoking environment, smoking restriction from parents and teachers, determination of cigarette refusal and attitudes toward smoking) were directly affecting the smoking behaviors, while another three factors (grade, health knowledge and school environment) had indirect impacts. According to the percentages of their contribution, the risk factors were ranked as follows: smoking environment (45.76%), attitudes toward smoking (19.88%) and grade at school (0.44%). Similarly, the top protective factor were: determination of cigarette refusal (16.61%), followed by smoking restriction from parents and teachers (10.51%), health knowledge (3.89%) and school environment (2.92%).

CONCLUSIONSHeath knowledge had minor effect on smoking in adolescents but could indirectly affect their smoking behaviors through changing their belief. Grade at school had a doubled influence on smoking, but mainly served as a risk factor. Tobacco control measures for adolescents should not only be limited to health education but environment factors as well.

OBJECTIVETo establish a set of suitable and reliable methods for HBV genotyping and to study the distribution of HBV genotypes.

METHODSType-specific nucleotides were searched through alignment of S genes (more than 1000 sequences) listed in GenBank. Then, type-specific primers were designed and type-specific primer PCR was used to genotype the 238 HBV strains. S genes of the untyped strains were further amplified and sequenced to find out their genotypes with type-specific nucleotide analysis.

RESULTSAll the 238 HBV strains were genotyped. 159 (66.8%) cases were genotype B, 69 (28.9%) were genotype C, 6 (2.5%) were mixtures of genotypes B and C and 4 (1.6%) were mixtures of genotypes B and D. No genotypes of A, E, F, G, and H were found.

CONCLUSIONGenotypes B and C are the most common types for HBV strains. Mixtures of genotypes B and C or genotypes B and D coinfection rarely existed. There is no relationship between the gender of the patients and HBV genotypes (X2 = 0.794, P more than 0.05).

In this study, daphnetin and its major metabolites in the intestinal wall of rats were identified by liquid chromatography and quatrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. Perfusion fluid of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon were collected separately for 2 hours from the rat intestine following perfusion with daphnetin. The metabolites of daphnetin in the perfusion fluid of different intestine segments were analyzed by the liquid chromatography and quatrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. It is shown that the parent drug daphnetin and four metabolites were found in the perfusion fluid of duodenum, jejunum and ileum. However, no metabolites were found in the colon. Among the four metabolites, two daphnetin sulfates (m/z 257) were first discovered as the phase II metabolites of daphnetin in rats, which revealed a new way of daphnetin metabolism in rats.
