1.Comprehensive geriatric assessment and its clinical impact in oncology
Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(5):332-334
With the aging of the population,management of cancer in the elderly aged people represents a priority for health care.However,fewer evidence-based data are available to promote the treatment of these patients.Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is developed recently as a multi-disciplinary in-depth evaluation to assess life expectancy and risk of morbidity from cancer in elderly patients,which is helpful for physicians to develop a coordinated plan for cancer treatment and to provide appropriate interventions to decrease the risk of morbidity and mortality.

Objective To analyze the reason of nursing complaints and discuss prevention measures. Methods From October 2007 to October 2011,52 cases nursing complaints were retrospectively analyzed in my hospital.The countermeasures were summarized.

OBJECTIVE To study the cytotoxicity of polyamide amine dendrimers (PAMAM)-hyaluronic acid(HA)as a non-viral gene delivery vector in vitro. METHODS PAMAM-HA was synthesized by our laboratory. Cytotoxicities of various polymers on HeLa cells,Bel-7402 cells and HepG2 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. Apoptotic rates were determined by flow cytometry. RESULTS The cytotoxicity of PAMAM-HA polymer increased with the concentration of polymer(50-800 mg · L-1),the time of action(24-72 h), the number of generations of PAMAM(G4,G5) and decrease in the molecular mass(3850,17 200)and the graft density(5%-25%)of HA. After incubation with PAMAM G4-HA3850-5%or PAMAM G5-HA3850-5%for 24 h,the apoptotic rate of hepatoma cells—Bel-7402 cells was 4.5%and 9.9%,respectively. After incubation with complexes of PAMAM G4-HA3850-5%/DNA or PAMAM G5-HA3850-5%/DNA for 24 h,the viability of HeLa cells was more than 80%,which was lower than that of PAMAM G4/DNA和PAMAM G5/DNA. CONCLUSION Cytotoxicity of PAMAM modified by HA of different grafting density and quantity can be reduced ,suggesting the PAMAM is a promising non-viral gene vector.

Objective To explore the effects of post-stroke depression on working memory,aiming to find a new method for alleviating the dysfunction in post-stroke depression patients.Methods Eighteen patients with poststroke depression and 20 stroke survivors with no depression were recruited as the experimental and control groups respectively.Both groups' working memory was tested early every morning.The two groups' performance was compared in terms of each working memory test item and their results were correlated with their scores on the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD).Results The average HAMD score was 21.78 ± 3.21 for the experimental group and 5.06 ±2.35 for the control group.Compared with the control group,the experimental group was significantly different in its performance counting backward,in its word memory span and its calculation task span,as well as in successive subtraction.At the same time,compared with the control,the experimental group was significantly better in total reaction number and the percentage of number of right reaction of the number of total reaction of Digit Subtraction Test.The HAMD scores of the experimental group were negatively correlated with their performance in counting backward,their word memory span,their successive subtraction performance and their calculation task span.Conclusion Poststroke depression has an obvious negative effect on working memory.

Objective To detect the Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (TrFoxp3+),Th17,TrFoxp3+/Th17 and related cell factors level in peripheral blood of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients,and to explore the relationships about TrFoxp3+,Th17 with occurrence and development of lung cancer and whether there are imbalance of TrFoxp3+/Th17.Methods The proportions of TrFoxp3+,Th17 cells and the level of related cell factors such as TGF-β,IL-17,IL-23 were determined respectively by flow cytometry and ELISA in peripheral blood of 18 healthy people and 26 patients with NSCLC.Results The proportions of TrFoxp3+,Th17 and TrFoxp3+/Th17 in peripheral blood with NSCLC were higher than healthy controls(P <0.05).The proportion of Th17 cells from NSCLC patients was positively correlated with that of TrFoxp3+(r =0.81,P<0.05).Comparing TrFoxp3+/Th17 among different TNM stages in NSCLC patients:TrFoxp3+/Th17 of in Ⅳ stage was obvious higher than that of in Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage,Ⅲ stage(P<0.05).The level of TGF-β,IL-17,IL-23 was higher in NSCLC patients than that in healthy controls,the ratio of TGF-β in the advanced stage group/healthy controls was higher in the early and middle group/healthy controls (P<0.05).Conclusion TrFoxp3+,Th17 and TrFoxp3+/Th17 in NSCLC patients were higher than healthy people,moreover TrFoxp3+/Th17 in advanced stage increased significantly.The results may imply that there are certain relationships between the imbalance of TrFoxp3+/Th17 and immunosuppression and occurrence and development of NSCLC as well as the regulation of their cytokines.

Objective:To investigate the expression pattern of Mtsl/S100A4 in mouse spinal cord;to investigate the effects of Mtsl/S100A4 on glial cell responses.Method:The study was carried out on Mtsl/S100A4 wild type and knock-out mice.The degenerative spinal cord model was established by dorsal root or sciatic nerve injury.The de-myelinated spinal cord model was established by ethidium bromide injections.Then the expressions of S100A4,GFA P,NG2 and Mael were measured.Result:The expressions of Mtsl/S100A4 in mice spinal cord were similar to that in rats.In WT mice this protein expressed in a thin layer of fiber bundles in the tract of Lissauer,and in white matter astrocytes.There was intracellular up-regulation of Mtsl/S100A4 in white matter astrocytes of WT mice after dorsal root or sciatic nerve injury,with no difference in glial cell response between WT and KO mice.However,7 days after ethidium bromide injection,in WT mice,the astroglial reaction was restricted on operated side,where a distinct glial scar had formed.While in KO mice,no distinct glial scar formed in demyelinated area.Conclusion:Mtsl/S100A4 expression in mouse spinal cord is similar to the pattern as in rats;intracellular Mtsl/ S100A4 up-regulation does not affect glial responses in degenerative spinal cord;the presence of extracellular Mtsl/ S100A4,which entered the spinal cord after ethidium bromide induced demyelination,markedly affects the glial cell responses in demyelinative spinal cord,including glial scar formation.

AIM:To study whether three kinds of rabbit corneal cells can grow well on fibrin glue (FG) constructed in vitro, and investigate the feasibility of FG for the scaffold of cell sheet engineering. METHODS: Three kinds of corneal cells were seeded on FG which was produced in vivo. Cell growth on FG was examined as follows: (1) by inverted microscope; (2) histologically by hematoxylin and eosin; (3) by scanning electron microscopy. RESULTS: Fibrin glue prepared was smooth and transparent. With cell growth, FG degradated partly, then obtained cell sheet engineering only with a small amount of FG. Corneal cells generated well on the fibrin glue in vitro and maintained the physiological state of cells. Corneal epithelial cells formed unilaminar and stratified layers and cellular joins. Corneal endothelial cells formed round or polygon, the same size cells and lined up tightly. Corneal stroma cells formed triangle and arborization, cell-cell junction was obvious, and formed network link. CONCLUSION: Fibrin glue is well compatible with three kinds of corneal cells, which can construct tissue engineered cell sheet with fibrin glue, so as to reconstruct ocular surface.
