Objective To explore the influence of epithelial mesenchymal transition(EMT)in radiosensi-tivity of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI. Methods In this study,EGFR-mutant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line PC-9 and Gefitinib acquired resistance cell line PC-9/AB were used. Western blot was used to assess EMT. Wound healing migration assay was tested. CCK8,colony formation and flow cytome-try were used to evaluate survival fraction ,as the sensitivity to irradiation. Results PC-9/AB displayed radioresis-tance(P<0.05). When EMT was reversed with CDH1,its radiosensitivity was significantly higher than PC-9/AB (P < 0.05). PC-9/TGF also displayed radioresistance (P < 0.05),as well as EMT phenotype presented. Conclusion EMT enhanced the radioresistance of EGFR-mutant NSCLC cell with acquired resistance to EGFR-TKI, possibly through TGF-βpathway.

The therapeutic effect was significantly better in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture plus cupping method has a good effect for chronic simple pharyngitis.

Objective To investigate the hospital distribution and drug resistance of pathogens of venous catheter-related infec-tion,so as to provide basis for appropriate usage of antibiotics in clinic.Methods The culture and drug susceptibility results of 369 venous catheter were analyzed retrospectively from 2009 January to 2012 December.Results 161 strains of pathogens were detec-ted among 369 venous catheter,the positive rate was 43.6%.There were 83 strains of Gram positive bacteria,accounting for 51.6%,and Staphylococcus epidermidis had the highest positive rate.There were 63 strains of Gram negative bacteria,accounting for 39.1%,and Klebsiella pneumoniae and Bauman Acinetobacter were main isolated bacteria.There were 15 strains of Fungi,ac-counting for 9.3%,and Candida parapsilosis had the highest positive rate.There was none Gram positive bacteria resistant to van-comycin and linezolid.Carbapenems remained high activity against Gram negative bacteria.Conclusion Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiella pneumoniae are mainly detected in venous catheter in the hospital infection.

Objective　To observe the therapeutic effects and safety of angiotensin-converting enzym e (ACE)-inhibitors in the treatment of the secondary erythromatosis following ren al transplantation.Methods　Twenty-four patients with erythromatosis following renal transplantation recei ved the treatment with ACE-inhibitors. During the administration of ACE-inhibi tors, the hemoglobin, hematocrit and the side effects were observed. Results　All the patients were recovered except one who ha d to be stopped the treatment of ACE-inhibitors because of the depressing of th e blood pressure. The time of producing the effects was 7-20 days. The side effe cts included lower blood pressure accompanied by dizzy in 3 cases, anemia in 2 cases and damage to renal function in 2 cases. Conclusions　ACE-inhibitors were effective in the treatme nt of secondary erythromatosis following renal transplantation. It was important to monitor the hemogram and the renal function of the patients.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of anti-tuberculosis therapy on plasma concentration of calcineurin phosphatase inhibitors in renal transplant recipients.METHODS:The change in plasma concentration of calcineurin phosphatase inhibitors in 2 renal transplant recipients who were complicated with tuberculosis infection before or after renal transplantation was analyzed.The patients were routinely treated with cyclosporine(CsA)or tacrolimus(FK506)+ mycophenolate mofetil(MMF)+ prednisolone(Pred).Monoclone fluorescence polarization immunoassay(FPIA)was employed to determine the concentration of CsA or FK506 in different time point before and after administration of antituberculosis drugs.RESULTS:Plasma concentration of CsA was down-regulated significantly by Rifampicin,and the daily dose of CsA has to be increased to more than 3 times the previous concentration before meeting the target concentration.The concentration of FK506 was slightly down-regulated by rifapentine.CONCLUSION:The concentration of CsA or FK506 and the adverse effect of antituberculotic drugs should be closely monitored for renal transplant recipients complicated with tuberculosis infection.

Informed consent is one of the basic ethical rules for living related kidney transplantation.Doctors have obligations of informing before kidney transplantation.The advantages and disadvantages of each treatment should be introduced to uremic patients and their relatives to let them know that kidney transplantation is not the only choice for treating uremia.Both donors and recipients of living kidney transplantation should be informed of the clinical effects,all kinds of complications and their risks,and the importance of treatment compliance after operation.Donors should be notified with the interests,complications and risks in period of donating operation and long-term after operation,and should be notified with the interests and risks in some special conditions for exchanging donation.Voluntary donation should fulfill that donators make the decision of donation under a fully understanding of the risks of living kidney transplantation and being fully assessed by themselves,and cheating,luring and sealing kidneys for economic interests are ruled out in making consent.Persons with incapability can not be donors even if they had made the consents of donation.In order to make sure that the decision of donation is made under the condition that living donors and recipients have known the fact thoroughly,ethics committee should inspect the "consent of kidney transplantation of living donation" and "consent of operation" offered to donors and recipients by hospital to make sure that donors and recipients have been fully notified with the current situation,clinical effects and possible complications of living kidney transplantation by doctors.This measure can make sure that donors and recipients make the decision based on knowing the fact thoroughly and sign the consent personally.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the colorectal cancer incidence among compliers and non-compliers in the population of colorectal cancer screening area, and to provide scientific basis for health economic evaluation of cancer screening.

METHODSBy screening different years build queue, to retrospectively compare the data of colorectal cancer screening from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2013 and the data of cancer registration, and to analyze the colorectal cancer incidence rates among screening compliers and non-compliers, and to compare the average intervals between the end of screening and clinical cancer diagnosis using SPSS 19 statistical software. Mantel-Haenszel test was performed with a statistical significance level of α = 0.05.

RESULTSThe non-compliance rate was 38.24% among males and 28.49% among females (P < 0.001). The non-compliance rate was highest in the 40-44 and 70-74 years age groups and lowest in the 50-59 years age group. The compliers of the screening were followed up for 476,049 person-years, and there were 51 cases of colorectal cancer, with an incidence rate of 10.71/100,000. The non-compliers of the screening were followed up for 259 183 person-years, and there were 66 cases of colorectal cancer, with an incidence rate of 25.46/100,000, which was 1.38 times higher than that of the compliance group (χ2 = 21.699, P < 0.001). The incidence rate of colorectal cancer among subjects who were positive in initial screening but refused to receive an electronic colonoscopy was as high as 164.40/100,000, and the average delay time was 20.8 ± 16.8 months.

CONCLUSIONSThe colorectal cancer screening adherence among women is better than among men, and that of 50-54 years and 55-59 years age groups is better than in other age groups. The subsequent incidence rate of colorectal cancer in the non-compliance group is significantly higher than that of the compliance population.

Objective To discuss the spiral CT features of lymph node metastasis in advanced gastric cancer, and to investigate the correlation between spiral CT features and pathologic results. Methods Spiral CT scan and triphasic enhancement spiral CT scan were performed in 59 patients with advanced gastric cancer before operation. Results ①The pathologic metastatic rate of lymph node in gastric cancer was high when the lymph nodes were nubby-mixed, prominently enhanced, unsymmetrical enhanced and ≥9 mm in diameter on spiral CT (P<0.05). ②The detection rate of lymph node metastasis with spiral CT was high when carcinoma tissues were poorly differentiated, Borrmann Ⅲ+Ⅳ, T3-4 staging and TNM Ⅲ+Ⅳ staging. Conclusion The spiral CT features of lymph node (distributing type, size, enhanced degree, enhanced mode and staging) can reflect the pathologic characteristics of lymph node metastasis in gastric carcinoma. Pathologic characteristic of gastric tumor determines the detection rate of lymph node metastasis on spiral CT. The accuracy of CT to diagnose lymph nodes metastasis will be improved by integrating the spiral CT features of both gastric tumor and lymph node.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of ultrasonography used to guide the selection of uncuffed endotracheal tube (ETT) size for pediatric patients.Methods Eighty pediatric patients requiring endotracheal intubation for elective surgery under general anesthesia,aged 2-6 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomized into 2 groups (n=40 each) using a random number table:control group and ultrasonography group.In control group,the internal diameter of an uncuffed ETT was determined according to age-based formulas.In ultrasonography group,the outer diameter of an uncuffed ETT was determined according to the transverse diameter of the subglottic airway at the level of the cricoids cartilage measured by ultrasonography.The air leak test was performed after intubation,and either a larger or a smaller size of ETT selected was considered as a failure of intubation.The failure of intubation and postoperative complications related to intubation were recorded.Results Compared with control group,the total failure rate of intubation and failure rate due to the smaller size of ETT selected were significantly decreased in ultrasonography group (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of intubation-related complications between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Ultrasonogra-phy can be used to guide the selection of ETT size for pediatric patients.
