3.Characteristics and functions of microglia:Advances in studies
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2017;30(2):216-219
Microglia are functionally principal immune effector cells widely spread in the central nervous system ( CNS) and physiological play a role in monitoring and stabilizing the internal environment. Very sensitive to external stimulation, microglia are eas-ily activated by slight pathological changes in the CNS. The activated microglia, on the one hand, phagocytize cellular debris and ex-crete growth factors to promote nerve repair and, on the other hand, also produce some inflammatory cytokines, glutamate, and nitric oxide, which may aggravate the inflammatory response and lead to secondary injury. This article summarizes the characteristics of mi-croglia and their involvement in CNS diseases and provides a new target for their treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical efficacy and the effect of pharmacoeconomics of two chemotherapeutic regimens for the first line treatment of advanced gastric cancer. METHODS:98 patients with advanced gastric cancer receiving SOX or FLO regimen as first line chemotherapy in our hospital were enrolled. According to chemotherapy grouping,short-term efficacy,toxic re-action and pharmacoeconomics effect were analyzed and compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:There were a total of 55 patients in SOX group,with effective rate of 38.18%;43 patients in FLO group,with effective rate of 32.56%;there was no statistical sig-nificance in effective rate between 2 groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in toxicities between 2 groups,includ-ing nausea and vomiting,neurotoxicity and neutropenia(P>0.05). The total cost of FLO regimen group was 9 136.98 yuan,while that of SOX regimen group was 12 345.97 yuan. Using minimum cost method,FLO regimen was superior to SOX regimen regard-ing the economical index. CONCLUSIONS:SOX and FLO regimen have no significant difference for the first-line treatment of ad-vanced gastric cancer in terms of response rate and toxicities. Taking into account the parmocyeconomics,FOL regimen is superior to SOX regimen.

Objective To analyze the relation between ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR)and the changes of left ventricular systolic synchrony and volume parameters before and after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)in patients with subacute myocardial infarction and to evaluate the impact of PCI on IMR by measuring such changes with three-dimensional echocardiography volume quantitation technology. Methods Eighty-seven patients were enrolled and echo data were acquired before and 6 months after PCI. Patients were classified into alleviation group (group Ⅰ)and non-alleviation group (group Ⅱ)according to the change of mitral regurgitation volume (MRvol).The systolic synchrony indexes (Tmsv 1 6-SD%,Tmsv 1 6-Dif%)and left ventricle volume parameters (LVEDVI and LVESVI)before and after PCI for patients of two groups were measured and contrasted.Results Systolic synchrony indexes of all patients of two groups were improved after PCI.Left ventricular volume parameters were decreased after PCI in group Ⅰ,and the remodeling was reduced.Correlation analysis of the parameters variations showed that,there was significant positive correlation between variations of left ventricular volume and MRvol in all patients and no significant correlation between variation of systolic synchrony index and MRvol.Conclusions PCI can improve left ventricular systolic dyssynchrony for submyocardial infarct patients.Left ventricular volume index that reflects the remodeling process is closely related to IMR.
