The histone methyltransferase EZH2 has been in the limelight of the field of cancer epigenetics for a decade now since it was first discovered to exhibit an elevated expression in metastatic prostate cancer. It persists to attract much scientific attention due to its important role in the process of cancer development and its potential of being an effective therapeutic target. Thus here we review the dysregulation of EZH2 in prostate cancer, its function, upstream regulators, downstream effectors, and current status of EZH2-targeting approaches. This review therefore provides a comprehensive overview of EZH2 in the context of prostate cancer.

Objective:To observe the incidence of infection related complications after percutaneous nephrolithotripsy.Methods:One hundred and forty-two patients with renal calculi who were treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2017 to December 2018 were divided into control group (71 cases) and experimental group (71 cases) by random number method. Among them, the control group was treated with common sheath, the experimental group was treated with negative pressure lithotomy, and the patients were followed up for 1 year after the operation to count the recurrence. The patients in the two groups were compared in terms of perioperative indexes, intraoperative complication rate, postoperative complication rate, recurrence rate in 1 year′s follow-up and quality of life in 1 year′s follow-up.Results:The operation time in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The amount of bleeding in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(12.15 ± 1.06) ml vs. (13.03 ± 1.17) ml], the length of hospitalization was significantly shorter than that in the control group [(5.13 ± 0.67) d vs. (6.02 ± 0.78) d], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The incidence of intraoperative complications in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.41%(1/71) vs. 11.27%(8/71)], the recurrence rate in the follow-up period of 1 year was significantly lower than that in the control group [1.14%(1/71) vs. 9.86%(7/71)], and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The scores of postoperative World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionaire BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) of the two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). At 1 year′s follow-up, the scores of WHOQOL-BREF in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusions:With the help of vacuum lithotripsy in percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, but the incidence of postoperative complications can be significantly reduced, the length of stay can be shortened, the follow-up recurrence can be reduced, and the quality of life can be improved.

Objective:To compare the mid-term clinical effects of AngioJet rheolytic thrombectomy assisted catheter-directed thrombolysis (ART+CDT) with catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) in the treatment of acute deep venous thrombosis of lower extremities.Methods:Ninety-one patients admitted to the Department from Jan 2016 to Dec 2017 were placed with inferior vena cava filters and divided into ART+CDT group (30 cases)and CDT group (61 cases). Total urokinase dosge, thrombolytic time, operative cost, length of hospital stay, detumescence rate, thrombus clearance rate, cumulative patency rate of lower limb veins, Villalta score at 2 years and 5 years, thrombosis recurrence rate and chronic venous insufficiency quality of life questionnaire were compared between the two groups.Results:The success rate of surgery was 100% in both groups, there was no mortality. There were significant differences in the short-term postoperative outcomes between the two groups in terms of total dosage of urokinase, thrombolysis time, total cost of surgery, length of hospital stay, detumescence rate, venous patency scores before and after treatment, and venous patency rate (all P<0.05). For the mid- and long-term postoperative outcomes of 2 and 5 years, there were no significant differences in the incidence of PTS, recurrence rate of thrombus, chronic venous function scale, and cumulative patency rate at 2 years (all P>0.05). Conclusions:ART+CDT has a significant advantage over CDT alone in terms of early efficacy and early reopening of blood flow in patients. Both ART+CDT and CDT have a low incidence of PTS and a low recurrence rate of thrombus in the mid-term follow-up, and both have satisfactory performance in the mid- and long-term efficacy of interventional treatment of deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs.

This paper summarized Professor XU Jingfan's clinical experience of using Zisu (Perillafrutescens) for the treatment of spleen and stomach diseases. According to the disease characteristics, Professor XU flexibly selected the different parts of Zisu. It is believed that the leaf of Zisu is good at dispersing, dredging qi movement, and good at treating external contraction as well as internal damage due to depression or stagnation, and being effective in relieving abdominal lumps and fullness with vomiting; its stem is good at widering chest and diaphragm, smoothing qi and the middle, and dredging the twelve meridians, which can treat qi stagnation, especially suitable for distention and fullness in the midline of body like throat, esophagus, and stomach. Perilla seed is good at depressing qi and eliminating phlegm, loosening bowels to relieve constipation, which can be used in diseases of combined phlegm and qi, and combined treatment of lung and intestines to treat long-term constipation. In clinic, Huanglian (Coptis chinensis)- Zisu leaf is often used as pungent dispersing and bitter descending, promoting qi movement to treat persistent nausea and vomiting; Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma)-Zisu stem is employed as regulating qi to smooth the middle, soothing qi to disperse liver stagnation for various syndromes of qi stagnation; Huomaren (Cannabis Fructus)-Zisu seed is utilized to clear the lungs and benefit qi, and moisten intestines by purgation for chronic constipation. The original ancient formulas are flexibly modified and tailored, so usually modified Banxia Houpo Decoction (半夏厚朴汤) is used to treat plum-stone qi (globus hystericus) and esophageal disorders, while modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction (补中益气汤) combined with Xiangsu Powder (香苏散) is used to treat gastroptosis, then self-prescribed Jixing Tuxie Formula (急性吐泻方) is used for acute diarrhea, and Xiexie Waizhi Formula (泄泻外治方) is applied for chronic cold-dampness diarrhea.

Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)inhibitor(TNFi)in the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis(AS)complicated with osteoporosis(OP)and the impact on bone metabolism,bone density,and inflammatory factors.Methods The data of 158 patients with AS and OP,who were admitted to Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University(Second Military Medical University)from Jan.1,2010 to Dec.31,2017,were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into bisphosphonate group(n=54),TNFi group(n=58),and TNFi+bisphosphonate group(n=46)according to the treatment methods.All patients were treated with calcium combined with calcitriol as the background treatment.After 5 years of treatment,Bath ankylosing spondylitis disease activity index(BASDAI)and Bath ankylosing spondylitis functional index(BASFI)scores were evaluated,and inflammatory indexes,bone metabolism markers,and bone mineral density were detected.Results After 5 years of treatment,the BASDAI and BASFI scores,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C reactive protein(CRP),TNF-α,and interleukin-17A of the TNFi+bisphosphonate group and TNFi group were significantly lower than those before treatment(all P<0.05);in the bisphosphonate group only ESR and CRP were significantly lower than those before treatment(both P<0.05),and the other inflammatory indexes and BASDAI and BASFI scores showed no significant changes(all P>0.05).The bone mineral density of the 3 groups after 5 years of treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment(all P<0.05),and the bone mineral density of the TNFi+bisphosphonate group was significantly higher than that of the other 2 groups(both P<0.05).After 5 years of treatment,the levels of parathyroid hormone(PTH),procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide(P1NP)and β-C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen(β-CTX)in the TNFi+bisphosphonate group and bisphosphonate group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment(all P<0.05),while the levels of N-terminal midfragment of osteocalcin(N-MID)and 25-hydroxy-vitamin D(25VitD)were significantly increased(all P<0.05);in the TNFi group only PTH and P1NP levels were significantly decreased(both P<0.05),while β-CTX,N-MID and 25VitD levels showed no significant differences(all P>0.05).Conclusion Long-term use of TNFi in patients with AS and OP can effectively reduce disease activity,improve physical function,decrease the level of inflammatory factors,alleviate abnormal bone metabolism,and increase bone mineral density;and the combined use of TNFi and bisphosphonates has better efficacy.
9.A consensus on the management of allergy in kindergartens and primary schools
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(2):167-172
Abstract
Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

Objective To analyze the treatment outcomes of multidrug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR-TB) cases in Hubei Province. Methods From October 2006 to June 2017, a retrospective cohort analysis of treatment outcomes for 1 447 patients with MDR-TB who were included in treatment was performed. Excel worksheet was created to establish database by monthly and quarterly reports. The statistical analysis of data was conducted using SPSS 21.0 software. Results Among 1 447 MDR-TB patients, 1 076 were males and 371 were females, with an average age of 44.44±14.28 years. 798 patients were cured, 63 patients completed the course of treatment, and the overall treatment success rate was 59.50% (861/1 447). The treatment success rate was68.02% (268/394) in newly diagnosed cases, and 56.32% (593/1 053) in relapse cases. There was a significance difference between the two groups (χ2=16.30,P<0.05). The treatment success rate [78.41% (672/857)] in patients with negative sputum culture at the end of 6th month was higher than the rate [38.71% (12/31)] of negative sputum culture at the end of 12nd month, with a statistical significance difference (χ2=26.65,P<0.05). The treatment success rate [12.07% (14/116)] in patients with continued positive sputum culture at the end of 6th month was higher than the rate [4.44% (2/45)] of negative sputum culture at the end of 12th month, with a significance difference (χ2=1.34,P=0.25). Conclusion It is extremely important to screen drug-resistant individuals for smear-positive patients, and to detect and treat drug-resistant patients timely. The negative conversion of sputum bacteria at the end of 6th month had important predictive significance for the treatment outcomes of MDR-TB patients. The patients with continued positive sputum at the end of 6th month should be closely monitored to adjust treatment according to the progress of the patient's condition and to explore a way to shorten the treatment course.
