Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2011;27(23):10-12
Objective To study the clinical effect of Liushen mixture combined with hyperoxia solution to treat the pressure sores of advanced cancer patients. Methods 43 cases of advanced cancer patients with pressure sores were randomly divided into the experimental group (21 patients)and the control group (22 patients). All patients received conventional care after debridement, the experimental group was treated by 30 to 60 Liushen pills grinded into powder reconciled with 3~8 ml 2% lidocaine to cover the affected area as external fomentation by sterile gauze which was soaked by hyperoxia solution, fixed with cling film,regular replacement The control group was coated with silver sulfadiazine sterile gauze and regular replacement. The cure rate, efficiency rate, and healing time of pressure sores of the two groups were observed respectively. Results In the experimental group the cure rate and efficiency rate were respectively 76.19% and 90.48%, and the cure rate and efficiency rate of the control group were 45.45% and 63.64%, the difference was statistically significant. In the experimental group the phase Ⅲ pressure sores' healing time was ( 13.60± 4.92)days, the healing time of the control group was(20.76 ± 5.51 )days, the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions Liushen pills and lidocaine mixture combined with hyperoxia solution to treat the pressure sores of advanced cancer patients have significant effect and are worthy of clinical application.

Aim To explore whether the polypeptide vaccines CKL9 and YL20 can induce immune response and anti-tumor effect on HER-2 (+) tumors in vitro and in vivo, and to provide suggestions for clinical use.Methods The proliferation of specific lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity(CTL) stimulated by CKL9 and YL20 were studied with CCK-8 assay and LDH assay, and the antitumor activity of CKL9 and YL20 was evaluated in vivo.Results The lymphocyte proliferation was promoted by incubation with CKL9 and YL20, and the relative increase of cells was 11.1% and 16.7% respectively at the concentration of 50 mg·L-1 of CKL9 and YL20.The LDH assay confirmed the CTL effect induced by CKL9 and YL20 on HER2-positive tumor cells, not on HER2-negtive tumor cells.With an effector-target ratio of 80 ∶1, the inhibition of tumor cell by cytotoxic T lymphocyte stimulated by CKL9 and YL20 could reach 89.8% and 84.3%, respectively.The HER2(+) tumor cell N87 transplanted in Babes mice was inhibited by pre-immune polypeptide CKL9 and YL20.Conclusion The HER2-specific polypeptide vaccines CKL9 and YL20 could induce persistent specific CD4 and CD8 T cell immune and inhibit the growth of HER2 positive tumor cells.

Chromium is a harmful contaminant showing mutagenicity and carcinogenicity.Therefore,detection of chromium requires the development of low-cost and high-sensitivity sensors.Herein,blue-fluorescent carbon quantum dots were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method from alkali-soluble Poria cocos polysaccharide,which is green source,cheap and easy to obtain,and has no pharmacological ac-tivity due to low water solubility.These carbon quantum dots exhibit good fluorescence stability,water solubility,anti-interference and low cytotoxicity,and can be specifically combined with the detection of Cr(Ⅵ)to form a non-fluorescent complex that causes fluorescence quenching,so they can be used as a label-free nanosensor.High-sensitivity detection of Cr(Ⅵ)was achieved through internal filtering and static quenching effects.The fluorescence quenching degree of carbon dots fluorescent probe showed a good linear relationship with Cr(Ⅵ)concentration in the range of 1-100 μM.The linear equation was F0/F=0.9942+0.01472[Cr(Ⅵ)](R2=0.9922),and the detection limit can be as low as 0.25 μM(S/N=3),which has been successfully applied to Cr(Ⅵ)detection in actual water samples herein.

AIM:To investigate the regulatory role of retinoid X receptor(RXR)in oxidative stress response of rat type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells(AECII)induced by hypoxia/reoxygenation(HR).METHODS:The AECII were di-vided into control(C)group,HR group,HR+solvent dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO)group(HD group),HR+RXR agonist 9-cis-retinoic acid(9-RA)group(RA group),and HR+RXR antagonist HX531 group(HX group).Cell Counting Kit-8(CCK-8)method was used to measure the cell viability.Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the expression of surfactant protein A(SP-A)and RXRα in AECII.Kits were detected to the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in cells.Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the ultrastructural changes of the cells.Western blot was used to detect the protein level of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2).RT-PCR was used to detect the expression level of Nrf2 mRNA.RESULTS:Compared with C group,the cell viability and SOD activity in HR,HD,RA and HX groups were decreased significantly(P<0.05),the MDA content were increased significantly(P<0.05),the Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression levels were decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the immuno-fluorescence expression of RXRα was significantly increased(P<0.01).Compared with HR and HX groups,the cells in RA group showed significantly increased cell viability(P<0.05),increased SOD activity(P<0.05),decreased MDA con-tent(P<0.05),increased Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression levels(P<0.01),and significantly increased immunofluo-rescence expression of RXRα(P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Hypoxia/reoxygenation can aggravate the oxidative stress re-sponse of rat AECII,and RXR agonist intervention can alleviate HR-induced rat AECII injury by inhibiting oxidative stress.
