Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(2):141-143
Breast neoplasm shows high rate of incidence and mortality among females.Although thereare a variety of treatments for breast neoplasm,breast neoplasm metastasis is still an intractable medical problem.At present,the related mechanisms of breast neoplasm metastasis are as follows:epithelial-mesenchymal transition,dissolution of extracellular matrix,circulating tumor cells or disseminated tumor cells,tumor vessels and tumor microenvironment.Making clear of the related mechanisms of breast neoplasm metastasis has certain guiding significance for the prediction and treatmence of breast neoplasm metastasis.
2.Paradoxical role of Kupffer cells on ischemia/reperfusion injury in liver transplantation
International Journal of Surgery 2009;36(2):94-97
Kupffer cells, the resident macrophages of the liver, play an important role in ischemia/reperfusion(L/R)injury in liver transplantation. 1schemic liver is reperfused through portal vein, and then Kupffer cells are activated. The liver is damaged by the released reactive oxygen species, inflammatory mediators and cytokines. On the other hand, upregulation of HO-1, induced by the activated kupffer cells, exerts a cytoprotective function for the IYR injury in liver transplantation models. Thus, Kupffer cells play the dual role on L/R injury in liver transplantation.
3.Effect of hypoxia on the biological characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(40):-
Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) have became the hot spot in cell tissue engineering,cell replacement therapy,gene therapy and transplant research fields. Recent studies have shown that changes in oxygen concentrations affect many biological characteristics of MSCs. Under different oxygen concentrations,MSCs have different proliferation,differentiation,migration and chemotoxis abilities. Hypoxia is a kind of common pathophysiological status,which can promote the proliferation,apoptosis,migration and chemotoxis abilities of MSCs,while hypoxia impacts the differentiation ability depending on different cell types. The mechanism of these response might be involved in hypoxia-inducible factor-1(HIF-1) ,chemokines and their receptors,and matrix metalproteinases. Hypoxia can activate HIF-1 signaling pathway,which upgrades the expression of stromal-derived factor-1(SDF-1) ,and forms microenvironments which stem cells are adapted to and grow in. SDF-1 increases the adhesion,migration and homing of circulating CXCR4-positive progenitor cells to ischemic tissue,and promotes degradation of extracellular matrix,then enhances the migration ability of MSCs by modulating the expression of matrix metalloproteinase and its protein as well.

5.Application of MR-guided radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer
Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2021;30(2):204-207
Radiotherapy is a vital treatment method for pancreatic cancer. However, the therapeutic effect of radiotherapy is significantly limited by the influence of pancreatic motion. More efficient radiotherapy for pancreatic cancer depends upon the improvement of motion management and high-quality image guidance. The emerging MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) can perform functional imaging with high soft tissue resolution and no additional radiation. Multiple researches have demonstrated that MRgRT has significant advantages in terms of precise delineation of target area and organ at risk, motion management and adaptive radiotherapy, which assists radiotherapy to play a better role in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. In this paper, the application of MRgRT in pancreatic cancer was reviewed and prospected.

Abstract?AIM: To analyze the effects of femtosecond laser assisted cataract surgery ( FLACS ) in the treatment of cataract and its effect on prognosis.?METHODS:Forty-two cases (42 eyes) of patients with cataract who were treated in the Department of Ophthalmology in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2014 were selected as the study objects. According to the order of treatment, they were divided into control group and observation group, 21 cases in each. The control group was treated with traditional phacoemulsification cataract surgery ( PCS ) . On the basis, the observation group was treated with femtosecond laser. The effective phacoemulsification time (EPT), cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), fluid flow and monitored pressure of the two groups were recorded.The rate of corneal endothelial loss and the situation of Tyndall phenomenon were statistically analyzed.The two groups were followed up for 1a.The long-term visual acuity recovery was observed.The best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) was recorded, and the long-term complications were statistically analyzed.?RESULTS: 1 ) The total response rate in observation group was 95% while in control group was 90% ( P>0.05);2) the surgery time of the observation group was longer than that of the control group ( P<0.05) but EPT was shorter than that of the control group.CDM and liquid flow were less than those of the control group ( P<0.05 ); 3 ) at 1d after surgery, there was no significant difference in intraocular pressure between the two groups (P>0.05); the rates of Tyndall phenomenon and corneal endothelial loss in the observation group were lower than those in the control group ( P<0.05);4) BCVA of the two groups at different time after surgery were significantly higher than that before surgery (P<0.05). However, at 1d, 3mo, 6mo and 1a after surgery, BCVA of the observation group was better than that of the control group ( P <0.05 ); 5 ) the incidence of complications in the observation group after surgery (14%) was lower than that in the control group (43%) (P<0.05).?CONCLUSION: The surgical effects of FLACS in the treatment of cataract are good.After surgery, the visual acuity of patients is improved significantly and the incidence of postoperative complications is low. However, the surgery time is long and cost is high, so it is difficult to popularize.

BACKGROUND:There was a variety of surgery treatment method in senile patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures, such as hip replacement and internal fixation, but there was a great deal of controversy about advantages and disadvantages of different methods.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical effect and safety of total hip replacement, hemiarthroplasty and proximal femoral nail in senile patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS:103 senile patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were selected, including 43 males and 60 females at the age of 62 to 80 years old. There were 28 cases of total hip replacement, 34 cases of hemiarthroplasty and 41 cases of proximal femoral nail. Perioperative complications and recovery of hip function after repair were compared among three groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The incidence of postoperative complications of internal medicine was higher in the proximal femoral nail group than in the total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty groups (P < 0.05). No significant difference in the incidence of complications was found between the hemiarthroplasty and total hip replacement groups. (2) The incidence of prosthesis complications was lower in the total hip replacement group than in the hemiarthroplasty and proximal femoral nail groups (P < 0.05). No significant difference in the incidence of prosthesis complications was detectable between the total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty groups. (3) The recovery of hip function was better in the total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty groups than in the proximal femoral nail group during 12-month folow-up (P < 0.05), and no significant difference in the recovery of hip function was found between the total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty groups. These results showed that total hip replacement and hemiarthroplasty had good curative effect on unstable intertrochanteric fractures in senile patients, and could effectively restore the hip function and reduce complications.

Objective To investigate the appropri ate changes of the central masking effect(CME) when there were pathologies in d ifferent segment of auditory pathway,so as to give some instructions in cli nical masking test. Methods We tested the subjects with one ear normal and th e other ear diseased. The diseased ears included conductive deafness in 30 ca ses?sensory deafness in 27 cases and retrocochlear deafness in 7 cases. Results The pure conductive deafness had very little effect on CME; secretory otistis media and chronic suppurative otistis medi a made CME lower than normal due to the secondary cochlear impairment .When su dden deafness companied with vertigo,CME appeared much higher than the normal and appeared great difference individually;but CME appeared lower than normal at other kinds of cochlear deafness ears.CME appeared differently at retrocochlear deafness ears. Conclusion Audiometry results should be corrected when th e masker higher than 40 dB EM,because the masker can make the CME higher than 5 dB in the conductive impairment ears.In the sudden de afness companied with vertigo ears,CMEs were too high and too individually to fi nd a suitable correction for PTT.Insert earphone should be used in measuring the air-conduction PTT,and bone-conduction PTT test might be given up.
