Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(3):195-197
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck.The therapies for nasopharyngeal carcinoma include the following aspects:conventional radiotherapy,chemotherapy,surgery and molecular target therapy,etc.The combined chemo-radiotherapy and molecular target therapy has gradually become the hotspot therapy for NPC.
2.Serum thymidine kinase 1 and cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(9):643-645
Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1),an enzyme of the pyrimidine remedial pathway,can catalyze phosphorylation of thymidine to thymidine monophosphate.It is closely related to cell cycle regulation and cell proliferation.A number of experiments show that TK1 can be used for physical examination,tumor screening,routine testing,effect monitoring and prognosis evaluation,which is considered to be a sensitive and useful marker for human tumor growth.

Chinese Health Economics 2017;36(2):55-57
Objective:To explore the impact of childcare burden on satisfaction level of the elderly medical demand in family,in order to provide the basis for policy making to realize healthy aging.Methods:Based on CFPS(China family panel studies) data,using OLS and quantile regression to conduct quantitatively study on the impact of children's dependency ratio on medical expenses for the elderly.Results:The estimates of children's dependency ratio's coefficients were significantly negative,while their absolute values presented a tendency of increasing with the increase of quantile.It showed that the crowding-out effect of childcare burden on medical expenses for the elderly was in existence.The higher medical expensed,the stronger the crowding-out effected.Conclusion:Childcare burden impacted the satisfaction level of the elderly medical demand,especially for the elderly often sick or suffering from a serious illness,whose medical demand would be even greater.

Objective To investigate the genotype and drug resistance of extended-spectrum beta-lac-tamases(ESBLs) -producing Shigella in pediatric patients.Methods A total of 59 strains of Shigella were isolated from stool specimens of hospitalized children with shigellosis in Beijing Children's Hospital from January 2004 to December 2008.Phenotypic confirmatory test,which is based on Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI),was used to detect the ESBLs-producing strains.Agar dilution method was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC).PCR amplification was performed for ESBLs producers to determine the genotype.PCR product was sequenced and then analyzed to confirm the subtype of ESBLs.Results Of the 59 isolates,21 (35.6%) strains were identified as ESBLs producers.The 21 strains of ESBLs-producing Shigella all carried the genes of CTX-M as shown by PCR,and CTX-M-1,CTX-M-9 accounted for 6,15,respectively.Among the 21 CTX-M producers,there were 4 strains accompanied by TEM-type and 6 strains accompanied by OXA-type.Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that there were CTX-M-3 (n = 1),CTX-M-15 (n = 2),CTX-M-57(n =3) of the 6 CTX-M-1-producing isolates.The subtypes of CTX-M-9,TEM,OXA were all CTX-M-14,TEM-1,OXA-1,respectively.The sensitive drugs to ESBLs producers were imipenem,meropenem,piperacillin/tazobactam,cefoperazone/sulbactam and cefoxitin,with resistance rate all less than 15%.The resistance to ceftazidime was remarkably variable among different CTX-M producers.Conclusion The prevalence of ESBLsproducing Shigella is in a high level in pediatric patients in this area.The genotypes of ESBLs are all CTX-M.Most of them are CTX-M-14,but some are CTX-M-3,CTX-M-15 and CTX-M-57.Most ESBLs-producing strains are multidrug resistant.Carbopenems should be the first choice for ESBLs producers.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for standardizing dispensing and use of intravenous drug. METHODS:266 piec-es of intravenous drug instructions were collected in PIVAS of our hospital,and then the labeling information were statistically ana-lyzed,including dispensing method,diluted or dissolved solvent before preparation and storage time after preparation. RESULTS:Among 266 intravenous drug instructions,there were 45 kinds of finished product infusion varieties and 221 kinds of drugs needing to be prepared. Among these,there were only 30 pieces of drug instructions with labeling dispensing method,accounting for 13.57%;195 pieces of drug instructions stated solvent for dilution and 22 stated solvent for dissolution before preparation,account-ing for 88.24% and 19.13%;69 pieces of drug instructions stated storage time,accounting for 31.22%. CONCLUSIONS:The la-bel information of dispensing method and storage time in intravenous drug instructions is markedly insufficient or not clear. Drug ad-ministration departments are suggested to strengthen the instruction standardization management. Meanwhile,manufacturers should specify the relevant information in intravenous drug instructions.

0.05), whereas the value of new bone grafted with pDBM was significantly lower than that of the normal group (P0.05); but the CUS of the pDBM grafted group was significantly lower than that of normal radius (P0.05). Histological analysis exhibited that most of the DBM was absorbed and substituted by matured new cortical bone in the treated defects of both groups 6 weeks postoperatively, whereas in the untreated group, the defects were only filled with fibrous connective tissue in their mid-portion. Conclusion The sDBM and pDBM are both effective in repairing segmental bone defects. The properties of new bone induced by grafts with sDBM are superior to that of pDBM in biomechanics. These materials can be used in clinical practice as bone graft extenders or enhancers.

Objective To research the immunologic reaction and the potential of chemically extracted acellular nerve allograft(CEANA) to repair peripheral nerve defects in primates. Methods Adult SD rats were used as nerve donors and adult male Wistar rats used as nerve recipient hosts. 25 mm long nerve segments were excised from SD rats' sciatic nerves. The nerve segments were decellularized via an improved chemical decelluarization treatment as follows: 1) nerve segments were rinsed with cold sterile Ringer's solution; 2)stabilized by pinning the ends to a thin plastic support, and submerged in 4% Triton-100 solution 12 h; 3)soaked into 72 mM sodium deoxycholate for 12 h; 4)washed in distilled water for 6 h. The procedures were repeated once again. Median nerve segments were obtained from macaques and decellularized according to above procedures. The CEANA from SD rats were implanted into Wistar rats subcutanously. The control group was implantation of fresh nerve allografts from SD rats. The immunogenicity of acellular nerve allograft was tested by immunohistochemical examination of the intensity of CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells that infiltrated the allografts. Median nerve defects for 5 cm were created in three macaques. CEANA were interposed across the gap. The CEANA were anastomosed microsurgically to the epineurium of proximal and distal stumps. Results The number of CD3, CD4 and CD8 positive lymphocytes infiltration in CEANA was far lower than that in the control group of fresh nerve allografts at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after implantation. There was no significant evidence of inflammatory in the CEANA grafted group. In the experiment of nerve regeneration of macaques, electromyographic activity was recorded across the allografts. The conduction velocity of regenerated nerve was (40.5?6.8) m/s. Regenerated axons sprouted from the proximal portion reached the distal portion of the grafts, and Schwann cells were also present in the central portion of the CEANA. Motor end-plates were observed in reinnervated muscles. Conclusion The immunogenicity that would have initiated cell-mediated immunological rejection of CEANA are removed. The implantation of CEANA could repair the defect of median nerve 5 cm long in the arm 5 months postoperatively. The CEANA as a type of substitute of nerve autografts has the potential to repair peripheral nerve defects in primates.
