Tumor markers can reflect tumor existence,and open an entrance to diagnose tumor at early stage.Recent researches reveal that gastric cancer related tumor markers such as microRNAs,enzymes,cytokines and antibodies-antigens are significant for the diagnosis,treatment,relapse surveillance,prognosis evaluation of gastric cancer.

In this study the ability of the monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibody NP30 was tested as a substitute of diagnostic antigen in detecting antibody of Schistosoma japonicum from human sera by use of ELISA. The results showed that the seropositive rate was 98% with NP30 in the group of acute infection, which was comparable to 94% with gut associated antigens (GAA)and 98% with the soluble egg antigens (SEA); 87% with NP30 in the group of chronic infection which was comparable to 86% with GAA but lower than that of 98% with SEA. The false positive rate was about 3% for all three diagnostic antigens. The results also showed that the geometric mean titer (GMT) of antibody to NP30 was higher than that to GAA but lower than that to SEA in the acute infection group and the GMT of antibody to NP30 was lower than both those to GAA and to SEA in the chronic infection group,suggesting that the antibody to NP30 appeared earlier and decayed more quickly during the process of infection. The authors suggested that NP30 could be used for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.

In this paper,a new method for catalytic synthesis of chalcones from substituted acetophenone and substituted benzaldehyde in polyphosphoric acid/concentrated sulfuric acid system was proposed,and the reaction conditions were optimized. The results showed that the optimized reaction conditions were determined as polyphosphoric acid of 5 equiv. and concentrated sulfuric acid of 20 equiv.,with 1,4-dioxane as solvent at 90 °C for 2 h under nitrogen protection. Twelve chalcones were synthesized with good yield. All target compounds were characterized by IR,HRMS,1H NMR and 13C NMR.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of enhanced recovery after surgery and pain management during the perioperative period in rectal cancer patients.Methods 100 rectal cancer patients after radical resection were divided into ERAS group (50 cases) and routine care group (50 cases).Results Compare with the routine group,the time of ERAS group was shorter in postoperative bowel function recovery [(1.8 ± 0.6) d vs.(3.4 ± 0.6) d,t =-8.1,P ＜ 0.001],oral feeding [(1.3 ± 0.6) d vs.(3.2 ± 0.6) d,t =-10.1,P ＜ 0.001],intraperitoneal catheter drain [(3.6 ± 0.7) d vs.(5.3 ±0.8) d,t=-6.7,P＜0.001] and mobilization[(1.1 ±0.3)d vs.(2.7 ±0.5) d,t=-12.7,P＜0.001].ERAS group was associated with shorter hospital stay [(4.6 ± 0.6) d vs.(6.1 ± 0.6) d,t =-7.7,P ＜ 0.001],lower costs (P =0.014),lower pain score at the time of 6 h,12 h,24 h and 48 h after surgery (P ＜0.001).There was no significant statistical difference in postoperative complication rate 8％ and 10％ (P =1.000).Conclusions ERAS management in rectal cancer patients after radical operation enhanced postoperative recovery.

Objective: To investigate the value and feasibility of C reactive protein (CRP) in predicting postoperative anastomotic leakage in rectal cancer patients with enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for safer implementation of this ERAS. Methods: A cohort study on serum CRP of 455 rectal cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection according to the ERAS procedure at Gastrointestinal Unit of General Surgery Department, Guangdong General Hospital from August 2014 to June 2017 was retrospectively carried out. The serum CRP level was measured before operation and at postoperative days 1-7, and the serum CRP level of the groups with and without anastomotic leakage was compared to analyze its prediction for anastomotic leakage. Diagnostic standard of anastomotic leakage was based on the definition of postoperative anastomotic leakage in rectal cancer from International Study Group of Rectal Cancer (ISREC) : (1) Postoperative localized or diffuse peritonitis occurred, or fecal liquid was found from the abdominal drainage tube; (2) When anastomotic leakage was uncertain, peritoneal or pelvic computed tomography scan should be used to confirm. Results: All the 455 patients underwent surgery successfully, and 41 patients (9.0%) had anastomotic leakage postoperatively. Patients with anastomotic leakage were diagnosed (4.0 ± 2.0) days postoperatively, of whom 8 cases (19.5%) were diagnosed more than 5 days postoperatively. Serum CRP levels in patients with anastomotic leakage continued to increase within 1-4 days postoperatively[ (50.04 ± 27.98) mg/L to (122.75 ± 52.98) mg/L]and decreased 5 days postoperatively[ (92.02 ± 58.26) mg/L], both were higher than those of non-anastomotic leakage group, and the difference was statistically significant (all P < 0.05, except postoperative day 2) . The serum CRP level of non-anastomotic leakage group reached the peak on the second postoperative day[ (83.10 ± 37.45) mg/L] and decreased 3 days postoperatively[ (48.01 ± 27.59) mg/L]. The ROC curve was drawn with the anastomotic leakage as the state variable, and the CRP level as the detection variable. The area under the curve (AUC) at postoperative 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 days was 0.74, 0.58, 0.83, 0.82, 0.65, and 0.70, respectively. The maximum was at postoperative day 3[0.93 (95%CI: 0.86-0.99) ]. The Youden index was 0.72, and the threshold of CRP was 80.09 mg/L, as the cut-off point to predict anastomotic leakage, with sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of 79.3%, 92.3%, and 74.2%, respectively. Conclusions Monitoring the postoperative serum CRP level can help predict the occurrence of anastomotic leakage after laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. When the serum CRP level is > 80.09 mg/L on the third postoperative day, the CRP level has the largest value in predicting postoperative anastomotic leakage, and the safety of ERAS has a certain clinical significance as well.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the expression of (epidermal growth factor receptor-2,HER-2) and clinicopathological features and survival of colorectal cancer.Methods From Jan 2005 to Dec 2015,all colorectal cancer cases were enrolled that the expression levels of HER-2 were detected in Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital.Clinicopathological features of the tumors and survival of the patients were analyzed.Results A total of 1 463 cases were collected in 10 years,including 711 cases (48.6％) of HER-2 (-),470 cases (32.1％) of HER-2 (+),249 cases (17％) of HER-2 (+ +),and 33 cases (2.3％) of HER-2 (+ + +).Correlation analysis shows that the expression levels of HER-2 were significantly correlated with tumor differentiation and the depth of tumor invasion(T stage),but not correlated with gender,age,tumor location,N stage,M stage,TNM stage and overall survival,and disease-free survival.Conclusion The expression of HER-2 may be related to tumor differentiation and growth infiltration,but it cannot be used as a predictor of prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer.

Objective: To investigate the short-term outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main disease. Methods: A total of 24 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main artery disease hospitalized in Fuwai hospital from June 2012 to May 2018 were included. The clinical data were analyzed,and the patients were divided into survivor group (11 cases) and death group (13 cases) according to survival status at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock. The patients were further divided into thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI) flow grade 0-2 group (11 cases) and TIMI flow grade 3 group (13 cases) according to TIMI flow grade after the procedure. The patients were then divided into non-three-vessel lesions group (14 cases) and three-vessel lesions group (10 cases) according to coronary angiography results. Results: Compared with survivor group, patients in death group presented with lower worst systolic blood pressure within 24 hours after admission (50(48, 70) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. 73(70, 80) mmHg, P<0.01), lower worst diastolic blood pressure with in 24 hours after admission ((33.5±12.4) mmHg vs. (48.9±9.4) mmHg, P<0.01), higher respiratory rates ((27.3±2.5) times/min vs. (21.5±4.0) times/min, P<0.01), less 24 hours urine output ((422±266) ml vs. (1 680±863) ml, P<0.01), lower platelet counts ((161.9±81.9)×10⁹/L vs. (241.6±94.0)×10⁹/L, P=0.03), higher serum creatinine ((250.0±36.8) μmol/L vs. (132.7±34.2) μmol/L, P<0.01), higher alanine aminotransferase (288(76,846) IU/ml vs. 81(42, 109) IU/ml, P=0.04), lower artery pH (7.11±0.17 vs. 7.39±0.09, P<0.01), higher lactic acid ((10.29±3.62) mmol/L vs. (4.21±2.85) mmol/L, P<0.01), higher incidence of invasive ventilation (7/13 vs. 2/11, P=0.02), higher scores of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) Ⅱ (35.4±6.8 vs. 18.7±1.7, P<0.01) and simplified acute physiology score (SAPS) Ⅱ (73.5±17.4 vs. 47.0±4.3, P<0.01), and higher incidence of target vessel TIMI flow grade 0-2 (10/13 vs. 1/11, P<0.01). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that survival rate at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock in TIMI flow grade 3 group was higher than that in TIMI flow grade 0-2 group (76.9% vs. 9.1%, log-rank test, P<0.01), and mortality rate was similar at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock between non-three-vessel lesions group and three-vessel lesions group (35.7% vs. 60.0%, log-rank test, P=0.14). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with TIMI flow grade 0-2 group, the OR value of death at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock in TIMI flow grade 3 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main disease was 0.030(95%CI 0.003-0.340, P<0.01). Conclusion Short-term outcomeof patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock due to left main disease remains poor, and final flow of TIMI grade 3 is confirmed as independent protective factor of death at 28 days post the diagnosis of shock in these patients.

Objective: To compare predictive value of the current 7 scoring systems and CADILLAC-plus scoring system for risk of short-term deathin patients with acute myocardial infarction complicating cardiogenic shock. Methods: A total of 126 acute myocardial infarction patients complicating cardiogenic shock hospitalized in Fuwai hospital from June 2014 to January 2018 were enrolled in this study, the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into survival group(49 cases) and death group(77 cases) according to survival or not at 28 days after diagnosis of cardiogenic shock.The scores of APACHE Ⅱ,APACHE Ⅲ,SAPS Ⅱ,PAMI, TIMI-STEMI,TIMI-NSTEMI,and CADILLAC were calculated within 24 hours in coronary care unit (CCU),and scores of CADILLAC-plus, which is an improved score derived from CADILLAC, was also calculated. The predictive value of the different scoring systems for 28 day smortality of acute myocardial infarction patients complicating cardiogenic shock were compared in this patient cohort. Results: Scores of APACHEⅡ,APACHEⅢ,SAPSⅡ,PAMI,TIMI-STEMI, TIMI-NSTEMI,CADILLAC,and CADILLAC-plus were all significantly higher in death group than in survival group: (28.9±10.2 vs. 21.8±8.3,94.0 (57.0,114.0) vs. 57.0 (45.4,81.5) ,62.0 (46.0,81.0) vs. 47.0 (41.5,60.5) ,7.0 (6.0,9.0) vs. 6.0 (6.0,7.5) ,10.0 (9.0,11.0) vs. 9.0 (8.0,10.0) ,4.0 (3.0,5.0) vs. 3.0 (3.0,4.0) ,10.0 (7.0,12.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0,9.0) ,and 10.0 (8.0,14.0) vs. 7.0 (5.0,10.0) , respectively, all P<0.01).The area under the curve(AUC) of receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve for predicting 28 days death of APACHE Ⅱ,APACHE Ⅲ,SAPS Ⅱ,PAMI, TIMI-STEMI,TIMI-NSTEMI,and CADILLAC scoring systems were 0.820,0.797,0.785,0.667,0.657,0.711,and 0.821,respectively and cut-off value was 27.5,79.5,66.0,8.5,10.5,3.5,and 8.5, respectively and the sensitivity was 0.766,0.844,0.649,0.494,0.494,0.740,and 0.753, respectively and specificity was 0.816,0.755,0.837,0.204,0.796,0.571,and 0.755,respectively.The AUC of ROC of CADILLAC-plus scoring system was 0.885,cut-off value was 9.5, sensitivity was 0.896,and specificity was 0.735. The predicting efficacy of CADILLAC-plus scoring system was superior to other scoring systems. Conclusion The 7 current scoring systems are all suitable for predicting theshort-term death in acute myocardial infarction patients complicating cardiogenic shock, and the predicting efficacy of the improved CADILLAC-plus score is superior to other scoring systems in this patient cohort.

Pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic， progressive and irreversible interstitial lung disease. At present， there is no specific drug for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis， and many TCM monomers have potential therapeutic value for pulmonary fibrosis， among which flavonoids are the main representative. For example， total flavones of Astragalus memeranaceus and scutellarin can reduce inflammatory cell infiltration， lung injury and extracellular matrix （ECM） deposition by interfering with transforming growth factor-β1/drosophila MAD protein signaling pathway. Total flavonoids of Oxytropis falcata Bunge and salidroside can inhibit lung inflammation by mediating JAK/signal transduction and transcriptional activator signaling pathway， and prevent the epithelial interstitial transition （EMT） process. Quercetin and Ginkgo biloba leaf extract can reduce the apoptosis of macrophages by inhibiting the nuclear factor-κB signaling pathway and play an anti-pulmonary fibrosis role. Urushetin and proanthocyanidins can promote the morphological recovery of myofibroblasts and reduce ECM deposition through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target protein of rapamycin signaling pathway. Naringin and luteolin can inhibit scorch death of macrophage and inflammation response， and improve lung function and lung tissue injury through NOD-like receptor heat protein domain related protein 3 signaling pathway. The ethanol extract of Phyllanthus emblica and calycosin can improve the inflammatory injury and fibrosis of lung tissue by activating the signaling pathway of nuclear transcription factor erythro2-related factor 2/antioxidant response element. Isogliquiritin can inhibit the phenotypic transformation of epithelial cells and reverse EMT progression by inhibiting extracellular signal-regulating kinase signaling pathway. In the future， scholars should consider developing appropriate drug carriers to improve their bioavailability and further study drug targets and pathways， to provide evidence for the development of traditional Chinese medicine monomers of flavonoids into clinical practice.
