1.Recent advances on treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2012;21(5):312-314
Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare malignancy with peculiar clinical and biologic features,aggressive course,and unsatisfactory outcome.the particular microenvironment of this malignancy,and sanctuary sites where tumor cells grow undisturbed, strongly affects treatment efficacy. The execution of prospective trials is also difficult because of the rarity of the tumor and the impaired general condition and poor performance status of patients. Chemotherapy is indispensable for the treatment of PCNSL. High-dose methotrexate is the most effctive drug.PCNSL is sensitive to irradiation,but responses to radiotherapy alone are short-lived. MTX-based chemotherapy followed by whole-brain radiotherapy prolonged survival but is associated with delayed neurotoxicity especially in patients older than 60 years. A new approach is attempted to treat PCNSL with chemotherapy alone with defered radiotherapy in old patients with similar survival rencenfly. High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation HDC/ASCT yielded promising results for recurent PCNSL.Clinical investigation with Temozolomide or rituximab have been reported.Further studies with these new drugs are needed.
2."Relationship between diabetic retinopathy ""metabolic memory"" and oxidative stress"
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2017;33(3):327-330
Metabolic memory means if the hyperglycemia can't be controlled at early stage of diabetes,chronic complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) will continue to develop even if the blood glucose level maintains normal level at later stage.Oxidative stress plays an important role in the metabolic memory of DR,which interacts with the nitrative stress,advanced glycation end products,genetic modification and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the pathogenesis of DR.Further elucidation of the relationship between oxidative stress and metabolic memory of DR can open the way for the discovery of novel therapeutic targets to prevent DR progression.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of water jet debridement combined with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for the treatment of early infection after fracture internal fixation.Methods The study cohort included 6 men and one woman with an average age of 43.6 years (range,from 36 to 58 years) who had presented with early infection after fracture internal fixation from October 2013 to March 2015.All the patients sustained closed fractures initially.The wound debridement was done within 3 to 5 days after the infection was confirmed.The length and depth of an incision was determined by the methylene staining range.Water jet was used to eliminate the dying tissues thoroughly from a shallower layer to a deeper layer while the internal fixator was retained.The wound was closed by full thickness sutures in a sparse fashion for drainage.Sensitive antibiotics were systematically administered for all the patients.The NPWT device was kept for 5 days.Results All the wounds healed uneventfully after an average of 18 days (range,from 10 to 25 days).The mean follow-up time was 12 months (range,from 8 to 24 months).No antibiotics were used during follow-up.There were no local or systematical symptoms like new sinus,broken wound or fever.Bony callus formed at the fracture sites after an average of 4.3 months (range,from 2.5 to 8.0 months) and no fracture nonunion happened.All the fractures healed after an average of 10.1 months (range,from 5.5 to 16.0 months).All the patients were satisfied with their treatment outcomes.Conclusion Since water jet provides simple,rapid and radical debridement while NPWT simplifies operative procedures and promotes wound healing,combination of the two can be an effective treatment for early infection after fracture internal fixation.

Objective To investigate whether BNP(brain natriuretic peptide) could be relatively objective index for comprehensive risk stratification of exercise rehabilitation nursing in young and middle myocardial infarction patients. Methods BNP concentration and LVEF were measured respctively in young and middle myocardial infarction patients. Then the risk stratification was administrated based these index respectively and Barther Scores and significant statistical differences were calculated according to homogeneity test for variance. Results Blood BNP concentrations in acute phase among the divided group based on EF risk stratification were significant difference,hence the standard deviation is large,which led to variance nonhomogeneity,and stracification difference between groups is not clear and across-talking. Exercise rehabilitation nursing scores based on echocardiography EF value had significant difference even veariance is nonhomogeneity,hence the differ-ence is not clear beween groups.Exercise rehabilitation nursing scores based on BNP was administrated and significance is clear beween groups. Conclusions BNP concentration and LVEF value had certain relationship and cross-talking among them.Risk stratification based on BNP concentration had objective instructions for exercise rehabili tation nursing in actue infarction myocardial pa-tients.

Objective To assess the efficacy of clinical intervention of early swallowing syndrome on neonates. Methods Eighty-six cases of normal newborns were enrolled in the study, including 44 cases of natural delivery,32 cases of cesarean section,8 cases of premature infant. The cases started vomitting before feeding the milk, became more severe after feeding the milk. once the pathological factors were excluded, the cases were treated with breastfeeding, warm water enema, massaging the lower abdomen, 1% sodium bicarbonate solution to the gastric lavage. Results A variety of clinical interventions on the control of neonatal swallowing syndrome results are obvious. Conclusions Early detection early intervention can prevent complications occurring.

Objective To explore the protocol of tissue matching and anti-rejection therapy in highly sensitized patients (HSP). Method The panel reactive antibody (PRA), human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching and renal transplantation outcomes of 45 HSPs were retrospectively analyzed. Results Hyperacute rejection occurred in 2 patients. Acute rejection occurred in 9 patients and reversed by anti-rejection therapy. One year patient/graft survival rate was 95.6% / 91.1% respectively. Conclusions To avoid specific antibody through HLA matching is the key point for successful renal transplantation of HSP. Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy combined with tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil therapy can decrease the rate of acute rejection and prolong graft survival.

Objective To investigate the pressure sources of caregivers in need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and to provide evidence for targeted intervention. Methods According to Hill′s ABC-X family pressure model, 12 main family caregivers were received semi-structured in depth interviews with phenomenological methods. Results Pressure sources of caregivers for HSCT patients were summed up to 7 aspects: search of donor, isolation with patient during transplantation, lack of knowledge in patient care, family resource difficulties, family economic overburden, social role transformation and uncertainty of disease prognosis. Conclusions The pressure sources of caregivers for HSCT patients is a persistent process, which is over layed as the patient′s condition worsens. The analysis on the pressure sources of primary family caregivers is becoming a new topic in HSCT nursing area.

Objective To study the characteristics of infarct-related-artery (IRA) in acute high lateral wall myocardial infarction and to give clinical clue for deducing the location of coronary artery lesions. Methods Ninety-six patients with acute high lateral wall myocardial infarction (77 males, 19 females, mean age 57.3?10.7 years) were enrolled in the study. They all had infarction for the first time and were confirmed to have single vessel coronary artery disease by coronary angiography. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to the ECG changes at the onset of infarction. The first group (group A) was simple high lateral wall infartion (23 cases). The second one (group B) was high lateral with anterior wall infarction (58 cases, among them 27 cases with anteral-septal infarction and the other 31 with extensive anterior infarction). The third group (group C) was high lateral with lateral wall infarction (15 cases). Lesion characteristics of IRA were analyzed. Results The infarction-related lesions were mainly on left anterior descending arteries in group B (56/58), and on left circumflex in group C (13/15). But those in group A could be on either diagonal (12/23) or left circumflex (11/23). The difference of distribution of IRA among these groups was statistically significant (P
