In the present study ,we aimed to observe the effect of curcumin on TSST-1-induced inflammatory cytokines in splenocytes of mouse and provide evidence for the further study on the effect of curcumin on inflammatory shock .Lactate de-hydrogenase (LDH) release assay was used to determine cytotoxicity of different doses of TSST-1 and curcumin .Inflammatory cytokines were determined by ELISA and flow cytometry .The doses of TSST-1 and curcumin we used in the present study did not cause significant cytotoxicity .TSST-1 induced higher level of IFN-γand IL-2 production but relatively lower level of TNF-α.The production of IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-12 was undetectable .TSST-1 induced Th1 cytokines (IFN-γand IL-2) were not IL-12-dependent which was different from LPS-induced IFN-γ.Curcumin significantly reduced IFN-γand TNF-αproduction at the concentration of 15 umol/L (P<0 .05) ,but had no effect on IL-2 production (P>0 .05) .It’s suggested that curcumin could significantly inhibit the production of IFN-γand TNF-αby splenocytes induced by TSST-1 ,but could not affect the prolifera-tion of T cells .

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, treatment and prognosis of asymptomatic patients with retinoblastoma.Methods:A retrospective series of case study. Eight asymptomatic patients (11 eyes) with the diagnosis of retinoblastoma by screening enrolled in Department of Ophthalmology of The Eye-ENT Hospital of Fudan University from January 2006 to March 2019 were included. There were 6 males and 3 females ranging from 2 days to 20 months, with a median age of 6 months. Five patients were unilateral retinoblastoma while 3 patients were bilateral. Based on the International Classification of Intraocular Retinoblastoma, 4 eyes were stage A, 3 eyes were stage B and 4 eyes were stage C. One patient had family history. Four patients were evaluated the Rb1 mutation. Routine ophthalmic examinations and ultra-wide field fundus imaging were performed on the 16 parents and 3 siblings of the 8 patients. Systemic intravenous chemotherapy was performed using the Carboplatin, Vincristine, Etoposide protocol, intra-arterial chemotherapy using Carboplatin and Melphalan, and local treatment involved cryotherapy and transpupillary thermotherapy. The mean follow-up time is 47.25 months.Results:None of the 8 children had any ocular symptoms. Six patients received intravenous chemotherapy (5-6 times), 1 patient received intra-arterial chemotherapy (3 times), and 1 patient just received local treatment. Among the 11 eyes, 9 eyes were treated with local cryotherapy and 8 eyes were treated with transpupillary thermotherapy. During the follow-up period, 2 patients had new tumor, and the average time was 6.3 months after the last chemotherapy. At the last follow-up, the tumor disappeared in 11 eyes, remained stable in 11 eyes. The eye protection rate was 100% (8/8) for patients without eyeball excision. The best corrected visual acuity was 0.1 for 3 eyes and 1.0 for 5 eyes. Three eyes were not found. One heterozygous mutation of Rb1 gene [1c.35_69del (p.T12fs)] was identified in 1 patient, and the other 3 patients were not detected. One had bilateral bulbar tuberculosis of the 16 parents, 1 had bilateral RB of the 3 siblings. They were the mother and brother of a child with bilateral RB.Conclusions:Fundus screening is helpful for the detection of early RB. The eye protection rate is high and the long-term vision prognosis is good after systemic or topical chemical drugs (IVC, IAC) and ocular topical treatment (cryopreservation and transpupillary thermotherapy).

Objective To explore the patients satisfaction with participation in medical and nursing decision making and the influencing factors among cancer patients, and to provide a basis for developing better medical care services. Methods Totally 159 cancer patients were recruited from Beijing Cancer Hospital, and then were investigated with the general information questionnaire, the patients′ expectation for participation in clinical decision making scale, the patients′ competence for participation in clinical decision making scale, and the patients′satisfaction with participation in medical and nursing decision making questionnaires. Results The total score of patients′satisfaction with participation in medical and nursing decision making were (45.92±3.91) and (34.25±3.31) respectively. Compared with female patients, male patients had higher satisfaction with medical decision making (46.45±3.24&44.87±4.84) and nursing decision making (34.68 ± 2.93&33.42 ± 3.84) (t=2.416, P=0.017;t=2.275, P=0.024);and compared with melanoma patients, lung cancer patients had higher satisfaction with medical decision making (46.51 ± 2.69&43.33 ± 7.07, P=0.002);compared withⅢstage patients, Ⅳstage patients had higher satisfaction with nursing decision making(34.97±2.24&32.40±4.56, P<0.01). Meanwhile, the satisfaction with participation in decision making was significantly positively associated with patients′ expectation and competence for participation in clinical decision making. Conclusions Patients′satisfaction for decision making may vary from different gender, tumor types, disease stages, and patients′expectation and competence. Health care providers still further strength patients′ knowledge and initiative of decision making, and then improve patients′satisfaction with participation in decision making.

NUF2 is responsible for the attachment of kinetochore-microtubules and proper chromosome segregation during mitosis. NUF2 is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer and other tumor tissues and cells, and can be used as prognostic markers. Further clarifying the relationship between NUF2 and tumor prognosis can provide help for the application of NUF2 in prognostic assessment of cancers.

Objective:To investigate the expression of promyelocytic leukemia zinc finger (PLZF) in human peripheral blood with asthma and its clinical significance.Methods:Forty patients with stable asthma from May 2021 to October 2021 in the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital were enrolled, and forty healthy controls were recruited in the study. The levels of cytokines in serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the expression of PLZF mRNA in plasma. The level and distribution of PLZF+ cells in PBMCs were detected by flow cytometry after isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, χ 2 test, ROC curve and Logistic regression were used to analyze the results with SPSS 26.0 and Graphpad Prism 7.0. A P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:The levels of cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-4, TNF-α and IL-17 in human peripheral blood from the asthma group were obviously higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05), whereas there was no significant difference in the level of cytokine IL-10 between the two groups. The level of PLZF mRNA in PBMCs from the asthma group was significantly up-regulated compared to that in the control group [(3.40%±2.52%) vs. (1.23%±0.78%), P<0.05]. CD8+PLZF+ and Vβ11+PLZF+T cells in the asthma group were significantly outnumbered than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression and ROC curve analysis showed that PLZF expression in PBMC was a risk factor for the development of asthma ( OR =3.67, AUC=0.87, P<0.05). Conclusions:The high expression of PLZF in peripheral blood may play an important role in the development of asthma, which needs to be further confirmed by large sample studies.
