Interleukin 24 ( IL-24) has a good prospect in tumor therapy because it can specifically inhibit proliferation in a variety of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo and induce apoptosis of tumor cells without affecting normal cells .Gene therapies which use recombinant adenovirus as a vector have some limitations that restrict the clinical application of IL-24. In comparison, protein drugs have tremendous advantages .In this paper, the progress in research on IL-24 gene engineering protein is elaborated .
4.Drug resistance mechanism and new therapy strategy progression in targeted treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2014;17(4):321-325
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Most of these stromal tumors are characterized by mutations in the KTT or platelet-derived growth factor receptor α (PDGFRA) genes, resulting in the constitutive activation of tyrosine kinase signaling. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKI), such as imatinib and sunitinib, provide the standard first-line and second-line therapy for patients with metastatic or unresectable GIST. Imatinib resistance has been a challenging problem in clinical practice and raised great concern. This review introduces the underlying mechanisms of imatinib resistance and advances of treatment strategies. Reasonable individual treatment with the guidance of molecular biology is promising to improve the efficacy and the quality of life for GIST patients.

5.Neoadjuvant therapy of imatinib in gastrointestinal stromal tumors and the timing of surgery.
Chinese Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 2015;18(4):313-315
Imatinib is the key medication for adjuvant therapy in gastrointestinal stromal tumors(GIST) and the first line therapy for patients with metastatic or recurrent GIST. Preoperative treatment with imatinib may improve R0 resection rate and provide the chance of metastasectomy for cytoreduction as well as prolonging patient's survival. We investigate the significance of neoadjuvant therapy of imatinib and the timing of surgery by reviewing clinical trials and consensus in recent years.

Objective:To explore the relationships between serum lipids, CA153 level and breast cancer incidence and clinicopathological features of patients.Methods:A total of 198 patients with breast cancer diagnosed and treated at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were enrolled as the case group, and 198 healthy women were selected with 1∶1 age pairing as controls. Five milliliters of fasting venous blood was collected to measure serum lipids levels in all subjects and CA153 levels in breast cancer patients. The difference of serum lipids levels between the two groups was compared. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors of breast cancer. For 165 breast cancer patients who did not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy, independent sample t-test was used to compare serum lipids and CA153 levels in breast cancer patients with different pathological features, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to calculate the correlation between variables and CA153. Results:The triglyceride (TG) levels in the case group and the control group were (1.22±0.73) mmol/L and (1.06±0.52) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.559, P=0.011); the total cholesterol (TC) levels were (4.47±0.86) mmol/L and (4.99±0.80) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-6.228, P<0.001); the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were (1.32±0.34) mmol/L and (1.53±0.38) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-5.913, P<0.001). Higher TC and HDL-C levels were independent protective factors for breast cancer ( OR=0.350, P<0.001; OR=0.531, P=0.013). The TC levels in lymph node positive and lymph node negative patients were (4.36±0.73) mmol/L and (4.67±0.83) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.518, P=0.013); low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were (2.53±0.58) mmol/L and (2.77±0.70) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.312, P=0.022). The TC levels in patients with stage Ⅰ and stage Ⅱ/Ⅲ were (4.90±0.89) mmol/L and (4.46±0.76) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.855, P=0.005); LDL-C levels were (2.95±0.71) mmol/L and (2.60±0.63) mmol/L respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.705, P=0.008). The level of CA153 in triple-negative breast cancer patients [(14.94±7.45) U/ml] was significantly higher than that in non-triple-negative breast cancer patients [(11.96±5.96) U/ml], and the difference was statistically significant ( t=2.359, P=0.020). The level of CA153 was positively correlated with the level of TG ( r=0.167, P=0.032). Conclusion:Dyslipidemia is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The levels of serum lipids vary among patients with different lymph node status and tumor stages. CA153 level is positively correlated with TG level to some extent.

Objective:To construct a primary health care institutions performance evaluation index system from the perspective of health value orientation under the background of countywide medical alliances construction.Methods:From May 2021 to February 2022, preliminary screening was made on core performance evaluation indexes via literature review; purposive sampling was used to select the dean/vice dean, persons in charge of medical service, and those in charge of public health service responsible for performance evaluation at the community health service center. Then semi-structured interviews were made on the existing performance evaluation and assessment plans as well as existing problems of primary medical and health institutions. Based on the " input-process-output" performance evaluation model, the thematic framework analysis method was used to analyze the interview data, and combined with literature research results, a preliminary performance evaluation index system for primary medical and health institutions was built under the guidance of health value. From March to May 2022, the Delphi expert consultation method was used to evaluate the importance and operability of indexes. The threshold method was used to screen indexes, and analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the weights of evaluation indexes.Results:The health value oriented performance evaluation index system for primary healthcare institutions included 3 first-level indexes, 9 second-level indexes, and 50 third-level indexes. The first-level indexes were output (0.377 3), input (0.336 3), and process (0.286 4) in descending order of weight. The top three weighted second-level indexes were health manpower(0.177 8), health literacy and health outcomes (0.157 6), as well as responsiveness and satisfaction (0.142 6). The third-level indexes included 17 medical indexes, 16 prevention indexes, and 17 medical prevention integration indexes. The top three weighted indexes for inpatient services were resident satisfaction with medical treatment (0.052 4), medical staff satisfaction (0.050 1), and responsiveness of residents seeking medical treatment (0.040 1); The top three weighted third-level indexes excluding inpatient services were resident satisfaction with medical treatment (0.052 4), medical staff satisfaction (0.050 1), and surplus funds used for personnel incentives (0.045 5).Conclusions:The performance evaluation index system of primary health care institutions built under the health value orientation is scientific, conducive to promoting the health-orientated transformation and improving the efficiency of primary health care services.

Objective:
To investigate the influence of mandibular distraction osteogenesis on masticatory function by analyzing the maximal bite force before and after surgery.
Methods:
From May 2014 to November 2015, 22 hemifacial microsomia cases, ageing from 6 to 10 years old, underwent mandibular distraction osteogenesis and their biting force data were collected. The maximal bite forces in incisor area, bilateral premolar area and molar area were measured before surgery and 1 year after surgery.
Results:
The average maximum bite forces in the molar area of the affected side, premolar area of the affected side, incisor area, premolar area of the unaffected side, molar area of the unaffected side were (170.6±42.8)N, (141.9±34.9)N, (89.7±18.8)N, (169.3±29.0)N and (230.2± 56.4)N respectively before surgery. Statistics indicated that most patients had uneven distribution of bite force between the affected side and unaffected side before surgery. And they changed to (198.8±44.0)N, (151.8±31.1)N, (88.9±18.0) N, (167.8±26.1)N and (234.3±52.5)N respectively 1 year after surgery, showing that the bite force in the molar area of the affected side was significantly improved by the surgery(
