Chinese Journal of Health Management 2016;10(3):218-222
Objective To study the nutritional status in different age patients with esophageal cancer during radiotherapy. Methods Ninety nine patients with esophageal carcinoma accepted radiotherapy in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from June 2012 to August 2013 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups by their age: the younger age<60 years; and the older age ≥60 years. Nutritional status was measured weekly during radiotherapy, and European Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS) 2002 were used to evaluate the risk of malnutrition. Results The malnutritional incidence during radiotherapy was 23.5%-29.4% and 33.8%-49.2% in the younger group and the older group, respectively. Compared with baseline nutritional parameters, triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) of the<60 years group started to differ at the first week after the start of radiotherapy (first week to the sixth week:9.14±8.67;7.80±2.90;7.62±2.83;7.56± 2.79;7.90±2.91;7.36±2.67, respectively, all P<0.01);compared with baseline nutritional parameters(2.09± 1.28), ≥60 years group started to differ at the second week (2.34 ± 1.24, P<0.05) after the start of radiotherapy for NRS2002 the third week, 2.49 ± 1.24, P=0.016;the fourth week, 2.51 ± 1.30;P=0.013, the fifth week, 2.55 ± 1.29, P=0.006; the sixth week, 2.57 ± 1.26, P=0.004. There was no significant difference between each time point for TSF in>60 years group (P>0.05). No significant difference was found for body mass index (BMI), arm circumference (AC), arm muscle circumference (AMC) in each group (P>0.05). Conclusion The elderly patients with esophageal cancer had significantly increased risk of malnutrition and decreased nutritional status than the younger patients during radiotherapy. Early start of nutrition interventions in the elderly patients may be benefitted.

AIM: To observe the level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secreted by monocytes cultured with electrical burn serum, and to explore the effect of VEGF on monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion.METH-ODS:The electrical burn serum of the rat was prepared.The normal serum from the rats without treating electric current was also collected for control.The contents of VEGF and its soluble receptor sFlt-1 in electrical burn group were determined by double-antibody sandwich ELISA.THP-1 cells were randomly divided into normal serum group and electrical burn serum group.The contents of VEGF and sFlt-1 in the culture supernatants were measured by double-antibody sandwich ELISA. THP-1 cells were also randomly divided into another 4 groups:normal serum group, electrical burn serum group, normal serum +inhibitor group and electrical burn serum +inhibitor group.THP-1 cells, which were incubated with the serum for 3 h and 6 h, were labeled with calcein-AM and then were added into the well with monolayer of endothelial cell line EA.hy926 to detect monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion.RESULTS:The levels of serum VEGF of the rats with electrical burns were significantly increased, the levels of serum sFlt-1 were significantly decreased as compared with the controls. The levels of VEGF secreted by THP-1 cells cultured with electrical burn serum were significantly increased, the levels of sFlt-1 were decreased correspondingly.Electrical burn serum enhanced monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, sFlt-1 inhibi-ted the adhesion between monocytes and endothelial cells.CONCLUSION:The monocytes exposed to the electrical burn serum secrete VEGF, which enhance the adhesion between monocytes and endothelial cells.Blockage of VEGF activity may effectively inhibit monocyte-endothelial cell adhesion.

[Objective]To investigate the mechanism of Qingre Yiqi Tongluo(QRYQTL) fang in treating the diabetic nephropathy. [Methods]60 Sprague-Dawleg rats were divided into normal control group(N), Diabetic nephropathy model group(M) (model rats were prepared by intraperitoneal injection with STZ after unilateral nephrectomy), then the model rats were assigned into model control group, QRYQTL fang treatment group(Q) and Irbesartan treatment group(I). After 12 weeks of the treatment, the contents of superoxide dismutase(SOD),catalase(CAT),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in renal tissue were examined by enzyme linked immunoassay(ELISA); the glomerular area(GA), mesangium area(MA),MA/GA, mean width of the podocyte foot processes(FPW) ,foot process fusion rate(FPFR) and average thickness of glomerular basement membrane(GBMT) were measured. [Results]Compared with N group, the contents of MDA in kidney homogenate and the GA,MA, FPW,FPFR,GBMT were markedly increased (P<0.01or P<0.05),the contents of SOD,CAT, GSH-Px and MA/GA were significantly decreased( P<0.01or P<0.05). QRYQTL fang reduced the level of MDA and decreased the GA, FPW, FPFR and GBMT(P<0.01or P<0.05). Compared with I group ,the QRYQTL fang was superior to Irbesartan in reducing the MDA, FPFR as wel as increasing the SOD,CAT(P<0.05).[ Conclusions]QRYQTL fang has a protective effect on the experimental diabec-tic nephropathy rats. The mechanism may be related to inhibiting oxidative stress, improving the body ’s antioxidant ability and al eviating the glomerular morphologic injury.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the study of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance. METHODS: The Pubmed database was researched using the computer for articles published from January 2000 to December 2008 using the key words of "bone marrow cells, transplantation immune tolerance" in English. Simultaneously, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database and China Journal Full-text Database were retrieved for articles published from January 2000 to December 2008 using the key words of "bone marrow cells, immune tolerance" in Chinese. Besides, Organ Transplantation, Transplantation Immune Tolerance and Conference Proceedings of English and Chinese were retrieved by hand. Inclusion criteria: relevant mechanism of immune tolerance; scheme of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance; advantages and disadvantages of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance; articles in the same circle published in recent years or in authorized journals. Exclusion criteria: repetitive studies or irrelevant articles. RESULTS: Mechanism of immune tolerance comprised cleaning, inability, regulation or inhibition, and ignorance. The scheme of bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune tolerance mainly contained bone marrow cell infusion combined with myeloablative pretreatment, bone marrow cell infusion combined with non-myeloablative pretreatment, pretreatment with immunosuppressive drug or chemotherapeutics, pretreatment of costimulatory signaling blockage, bone marrow cell combined with mesenchymal stem cell infusion. Bone marrow cell infusion-induced immune toleranca could induce long-lasting stable specific immune tolerance by effective immune tolerance mechanism, and had been an effective main method for inducing transplanted tolerance. CONCLUSION: Up to now, clinical immune tolerance is still uncontrollable and facultative. Bone marrow cell infusion-induced stable immune tolerance can develop a new space for organ transplantation.
