1.Role of REG4 in gastrointestinal carcinoma
International Journal of Surgery 2014;41(7):480-483
REG4,as a member of regenerating gene family,involves in proliferation and differentiation of gastrointestinal tract cells.Recent studies have shown that REG4 gene expression is upregulated in gastrointestinal cancer,pancreatic cancer,gallbladder cancer and prostate cancer,and associated with tumorigenesis,metastasis and poor prognosis of these carcinomas.Further studies have indicated that not only does REG4 play an important role in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal carcinoma,but also is closely linked with the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of S-1 on serum thymidine kinase-1 ( TK1 ) , vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF ) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and tumor biomarkers, estrgen levels and quality of life in patients with advanced breast cancer.Methods 69 cases with advanced breast cancer from January 2014 to May 2015 in the hospital were selected and randomly divided into two groups.34 cases in control group were treated by conventional therapy, and 34 cases in experimental group were treated with S-1.Serum TK1, VEGF and IGF-1, tumor biomarkers, estrogen level and quality of life score were compared pre-and post-treatment.ResuIts Compared with control group, the levels of VEGF, IGF-1 and TK1 were lower (P<0.05), serum CA125, CEA and CA15-3 concentrations were lower (P<0.05),the LH, E2 and E1 levels were lower (P<0.05) and the survival quality score was higher in experimental group ( P<0.05 ) .ConcIusion S-1 has better clinical curative effect in treatment of patients with advanced breast cancer, and effectively reduce serum TK1, VEGF, IGF-1, tumor biomarker levels, improve the quality of survival, which has important significance.

Objective To investigate effect of Bailing Capsule combined with Xihuangwan in stage III breast cancer patients of ER, MMP-9, tumor markers and estrogen.Methods 76 Patients with stage III breast cancer were selected and divided into control group anf experiment group.Control group were treated by clinical routine method.Experiment group were treated on the base of the control group with Bailing Capsule combined with Xihuangwan.The ER, MMP-9, tumor markers, estrogen, survival time and quality of life were observed and compared.ResuIts Compared with control group, the survival period of the experiment group were longer(P<0.05),the quality of life score were higher(P<0.05),the ER, MMP-9, E2, E1 level and the serum levels of CA15-3, CA125 and CEA were lower(P<0.05).ConcIusion Bailing capsule combined with Xihuang Pill can effectively reduce stage III breast cancer tumor marker levels, decrease the ER, the expression of MMP-9 and estrogen level and prolong survival time, improve the quality of life, has the vital significance to the clinical therapy for stage III breast cancer.

Objective To introduce the application of the network training on clinicians'knowledge of malaria diagnosis and treatment in Yunnan Province,and evaluate its effect. Methods Through the platform Yiboshi(www.yiboshi.com),the medi-cal and health personnel at the units of provincial,prefectural,county levels and 25 townships of 25 border counties were trained on the knowledge of malaria diagnosis,treatment,prevention and control,and the effects were evaluated by examina-tions,questionnaires and interviews. Results Totally 7152 participants were trained,the average participation,completion and pass rates of the training were 95.26%,98.55% and 97.30%,respectively. The trainees mainly learned malaria control knowledge from 3 aspects,namely policy of malaria elimination,malaria epidemiology,malaria diagnosis and treatment. The questionnaires showed that 95.94%of the participants considered that their theoretical and technical levels improved,97.30%were interested in the training content,93.24% recognized the arrangement of the training time was reasonable,and 91.89%were satisfied with the service of the platform. Conclusions The network training on knowledge of malaria diagnosis and treat-ment in Yunnan Province has achieved good effect. The network training meets the need of training a large number of clinicians in the malaria elimination and post-elimination stage.

Objective To set up the reference value of serum glyeated albumin (CA) in Chinese for using in clinical practice through a multi-center clinical trial. Methods Three hundred and eighty individuals with normal weight and normal glucose regulation, including 183 males and 197 females ranging from 20 to 69 years, were recruited from 10 hospitals in China. Serum GA levels were measured with liquid enzymatic method. Results (1) The GA level of the 380 subjects was (14. 5±1.9)%. When dividing these subjects by age into 3 subgroups, there was no difference in the GA levels among the 3 subgroups (P>0.05). Compared with the women, the men had higher GA level in the first subgroup aging from 20 to 39 (P =0.028). However, no significant difference was detected after adjusting with BMI as confounder.(2) When dividing those subjects by BMI into 3 subgroups, with BMI ranging from 18. 5-20. 9 kg/m2,21.0-22. 9 kg/m<'2>and 23.0-24. 9 kg/m<'2>respectively, we came to the following results: for men, there was no difference in the GA levels among the 3 subgroups (P>0.05), but for women, the GA level of the first subgroup was higher than that of the second subgroup (P =0.024). (3) The level of GA in the 2. 5th to 97.5th percentile was 10. 8%-17. 1%. (4) Sixty normal subjects were chosen to repeat evaluation of GA levels after 2-3 weeks and the GA levels were of no difference (P>0.05).Conclusion The normal range of serum GA for the Chinese population could be suggested at 11%-17%.
