1.Research progress of tumor-associated neutrophils
Practical Oncology Journal 2017;31(4):367-370
Tumor growth depends on the tumor microenvironment(TME).Tumor-associated neutrophils(TANs)are important inflammatory cells in TME.TANs are divided intoN1type with anti-tumor effect andN2type of tumor-promoting effect.Therefore,TANs have both beneficial and harmful aspects of the body.A large number of studies have been shown that TANs affect tumor formation,metastasis,angiogenesis and immune response,regulated by the secretion of cytokines and chemokines.This review will summarize the biological characteristics of TANs,and tumor development,prognosis and treatment of tumor as well as research progress of the relationship between TANs and tumor.

Objective To discuss the distribution of coagulation markers in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the correlation of these markers with the prognosis of the patients, the TCM syndrome and the long-term thrombotic events. Method Hospitalized NSCLC patients were selected for retrospective investigation and the coagulation markers data were analyzed with SPSS13.0. Result There were 10 cases (38.5%) and eight cases (30.8%) with one or more abnormal coagulation markers in the non-advanced NSCLC group, while there were 95 cases (71.4%) and 77 cases (57.9%) in the advanced NSCLC group.

Objective To investigate the application of PKH26 and molecular light imaging system in cartilage en?gineering. Methods Canine chondrocyte was labeled by fluorescent dye PKH26 and seeded into the porous cartilage acel?lular matrix scaffold. The cells/scaffold constructs were cultured in vitro for 1 week. Then the constructs were implanted into the dorsal pocket of nude mice. We utilized a molecular light imaging system to macroscopically observe cells/scaffold con?structs in vivo with fluorescence at the 4th weeks, and compared with X-rays taken at the same position. The fluorescence im?ages were compared with the immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent results of cartilage-like tissue in vivo. Results Luminescent images were acquired at the 4th weeks, a red color enhanced overlay of the luminescent image over X-ray photo?graphic image demonstrated the location of the implants and the cell viability and cell growth on porous CACM scaffold in vivo were very well. Histological results show that the safranin O, anti-collagenⅡimmunohistochemistry and toluidine blue stain of cartilage-like tissue is positive. Immunofluorescence examination demonstrated chondrocytes in the constructs whitch is showen red fluorescence, and anti-collagenⅡimmunofluorescent staining was showen in green while the overlap?ping image is showen in yellow. Conclusion This study outlines an applicable non-destructive method to evaluate cell growth in tissue engineering constructs in vivo using PKH26 and molecular light imaging system.

Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor(erythroid?derived 2)?like 2(Nrf2)in load?driven bone metabolism in Nrf2 knock?out(KO)mice. Methods The hybridized mice in the same brood were selected through PCR detection and were divided into two groups,i.e.,the Nrf2 knockout(KO)group and the wild?type(WT)group. Ulna of mice was loaded with 4 000 peak microstrains at 2 Hz for 3 consecutive days (120 cycles/day)as scheduled,the relative mineralizing surface(rMS/BS)and the relative bone formation rate(rBFR/BS)of ulna were measured for the two groups. Results Load?induced bone formation was suppressed in KO mice. Compared to the WT control,the relative bone formation rate was roughly 84%lower in KO mice(P<0.01). Conclusion The loss?of?function mutation of Nrf2 in bone diminishes load?driven bone formation.

Objective To know the effect of psychological nursing for aged patients with femoral neck fractures when cured by artificila hip replacement. Methods Divided 158 aged patients with femoral neck fractures into the intervention group (84 cases) and control group (68 cases) randomly. Routine nursing cares were used in the control group, while the psychological nursing intervention were used in the intervention group in addition. Compared the degree of postoperative pains and preoperative anxiety between the two groups, and then evaluated the function of limbs. Results The degree of postoperative pains and preoperative anxiety in the interventioni group was better than that of in control group respectively, the condition of limb function was better in the intervention group than in the control group. Conclusions Psychological intervention can promote rehabilitation for aged patients with femoral neck fractures when cured by artificila hip replacement, which can guarantee the satisfactory prognosis.

Objective To study the effect of total nutrient admixture (TNA) on lipid metabolism in rats with acute hepatic failure (AHF). Methods Fifty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: normal diet group, nitrogen-free diet group, fat-free nutrient admixture group, and TNA group. All rats were injected with D-galac- tosamine to induce AHF model Meanwhile, 6 healthy Wistar rats were used as control group. TNA provided energy 221.75 kJ (1 kcal=4.184 kJ), nitrogen 0.365 g, nitrogen to energy ratio 1:145, amino acids 2.28 g (including branched-chain amino acid 0.70 g), glucose 7.85 g, and fat 1.25 g on a daily basis. After 10 days of the operation of Jugular vein puncture tube, blood glucose, blood lipid, liver and renal function were determined. Results The blood glucose level was significantly higher in TNA group than that in fat-free nutrient admixture group (P < 0.05). The levels of serum triglyceride and cholesterol were highest in fat-free nutrition admixture group, and triglyceride level was signif- icantly higher than that in normal diet group and nitrogen-free diet group (P <0.05). The levels of serum triglyceride and cholesterol were significantly higher in TNA group than those in normal diet group (P <0.05). The levels of ala- nine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin and blood urea nitrogen were lower in TNA group than those in fat-free nutrient admixture group (P < 0.05). Conclusion The nutritional proportion of TNA is suitable for the metabolism disorder of hepatic failure, and therefore TNA can reasonably promote the anabolism and reverse the deteri- oration of hepatic failure in rats.
