Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of 3LL/GM-CSF tumor vaccine combined with pacilitaxel chemotherapy in treatment of mice bearing transplanted Lewis lung carcinoma. Methods: The tumor vaccine 3LL/GM-CSF was prepared by infecting Lewis lung carcinoma cell line 3LL with adenovirus encoding GM-GSF. Mice model of Lewis lung carcinoma was established by subcutaneous injection of 2?104 3LL cells into C57BL/6(H-2b)mice. The sensitivity of Lewis lung carcinoma cell line-3LL to the treatment of pacilitaxel was detected in vivo and in vitro. The mice tumor model was first treated with pacilitaxel chemotherapy and then with 3LL/GM-CSF, or first with 3LL/GM-CSF and then with pacilitaxel. Tumor growth and the long-term survival of mice were observed after treatment. The immune memory and cytotoxicity against target cells were studied in the mice. Results: Pacilitaxel at 100 nmol/L killed 32.10% 3LL cells after 24 hour in vitro; but pacilitaxel at 5-25 mg/kg only had a poor effect on growth of 3LL cells in vivo. The tumors rebated in 70% of mice treated with pacilitaxel chemotherapy and 3LL/GM-CSF vaccination successively, and the survival of these mice was obviously longer than that of pure pacilitaxel chemotherapy group (70.0 days vs 27.5 days). The killing rate of 3LL/GM-CSF after pacilitaxel chemotherapy was 41.35% on day 3. Meanwhile, the survival mice could resist the re-attack of 3LL cells (2?104). We also noticed that first treatment with 3LL/GM-CSF and then pacilitaxel chemotherapy had no effect on tumors. Conclusion: Application of tumor vaccine shortly after pacilitaxel chemotherapy can induce specific immune responses and prolong the survival of experimental mice, which provide a basis for future clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of transurethral anatomical vapor incision technique of prostate (VIT) with six-step method high power side-emitting greenlight laser in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 82 patients with BPH who used high power side-out green laser in the treatment from October 2018 to June 2020 in Gongli Hospital of Naval Medical University was performed. Among them, 40 patients were treated with six-step method VIT, and 42 patients were treated with photoselective vaporization of prostate (PVP). The two groups of patients were compared in age [(71.1±8.7)years vs.(72.1±7.0)years], prostate volume [75 (68.25, 89.00) ml vs. 73 (63.25, 85.00) ml], and peak urinary flow rate (Q max) [6.20 (5.20, 8.20) ) ml/s vs. 5.9 (4.75, 7.50) ml/s], post-void residual volume (PVR) [74.00 (42.50, 103.75) ml vs. 67.00 (58.00, 84.50) ml], international prostate symptom score (IPSS) [(21.2±5.2) vs. ( 21.0±3.9)], quality of life score (QOL) [5 (4, 6) vs. 5 (4, 6) ], prostate specific antigen (PSA) [6.20 (4.12, 8.43) ng/ml vs. 5.40 (3.88, 7.13) ng/ml ]. In general, there was no statistical difference ( P>0.05). The VIT group adopts the six-step method of marking, removing film, grooving, excision, trimming and crushing. In the PVP group, the prostate tissue was uniformly vaporized layer by layer from the inside to the outside. Perioperative indexes and complications were compared between the two groups. The Q max, IPSS, QOL, PVR and PSA between the two groups before and 3 months after surgery were compared. Results:All patients in the VIT group and PVP group successfully completed the surgery, and there was no case of transfer to TURP or open surgery. The average operation time was [60.00(50.00, 73.75)min vs. 70.00(50.00, 73.75)min] ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the amount of postoperative hemoglobin decline[15.00(10.00, 17.75)g/L vs. 16.00(14.00, 19.25)g/L], average bladder irrigation time[1(1, 1)d vs. 1(1, 1)d], indwelling catheterization time[3(3, 3)]d vs. 3(3, 3)d] and hospitalization time in patients after operation[4(3, 4)d vs. 4(4, 4)d] ( P>0.05). All patients had no blood transfusion, second bleeding, readmission, TURS, urethral stricture and urinary incontinence.There were 2 cases (5.0%) of postoperative urinary tract infection in the VIT group and 9 cases (21.4%) of postoperative urinary tract infection in the PVP group ( P<0.05), and they were cured after anti-inflammatory treatment. Three months after operation, Q max, IPSS, QOL, PVR and PSA in the two groups were significantly improved compared with preoperatively. Among them, the differences of IPSS [(5.7±2.5) points vs. (7.5±2.8) points] and PSA [2.65(2.10, 3.90)ng/ml vs. 4.00(2.45, 4.45)ng/ml] in the VIT group and PVP group after operation were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Applying the six-step method high power side-emitting greenlight laser transurethral anatomical VIT to treat BPH, there is less intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, short operation time, significant decrease in PSA, and fewer complications. It is a safe and effective minimally invasive technology for the treatment of BPH.

In the areas of prevention and life skills counseling for breast cancer, risk assessment and prediction can assist clinicians to decide if chemoprevention or prophylactic surgery is needed or suggestions on improving the quality of life for their clients. Several mathematical models, namely Gail Model, Claus Model, BRCAPRO Model and Cuzick-Tyrer Model etc. have been developed to make predictions, clinically. This paper has reviewed the development, operation, advantage versus disadvantage and areas of application for the four models. Having family history of breast cancer, one subject was calculated on the risks by the four models and different results were found. Up to 45 years old, the accumulative risks from the four models and population risk were 1.9%, 11.8%, 2.5%, 5.0% and i.6%, respectively. To 75 years old, they were 20.2%,32.5%, 13.1%, 25.0% and 8.5%, respectively. The subject had a relatively high breast cancer risk during her lifetime. A new model is supposed to include a variety of important risk factors and to be validated by large scale of case-control samples. Incidence of breast cancer in China had significantly increased during the last ten years, but the research on developing assessment methods of breast cancer risk had never been reported, suggesting that the development of models for Chinese population is necessary.

Objective To investigate antimicrobial resistance among gram-positive cocci in China in 2009. Methods From June to December 2009, 1169 consecutive and non-repetitive gram-positive cocci were collected from 12 teaching hospitals at 9 cities. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibacterial agents was determined by agar dilution method. Results The prevalences of methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCoNS) were 45.3% (211/466) and 89. 5% (214/239), respectively. The isolation rate of MRSA was 33. 3%-68. 1% from different samples. All Staphylococci isolates were susceptible to vacomycin, teicoplanin and linezolid. Five point five percent (7/128) E. faecium strains were resistant to vacomycin. All E.faecalis strains were susceptible to vacomycin. About 99. 1% (108/109) of E. faecalis and E. faecium were susceptible to linezoild. The prevalence of penicillin-intermediate Streptococcus pneumoniae (PISP) was 21.6% (48/222). Only 1 (0. 5%, 1/222) Streptococcus pneumoniae strain was resistant to penicillin.Teicoplanin, vancomycin, linezolid and tigecycline were the most active agents against Streptococcus pneumoniae (susceptible rate 100% ). Conclusions The high prevalence of methicillin-resistance is among Staphylococcus strains. Different samples show a different MRSA prevalence. Teicoplanin, vancomycin and linezolid show very high activity to Staphylococci,E. faecalis, E. faecium and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

OBJECTIVETo study the expression and location of early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1), transforming growth factor-beta(1) (TGF-beta(1)), fibronectin (FN) in silicotic rat and to discuss the role of Egr-1 in the development of silicosis.
METHODSSilicotic animal model of rat was established, and the expressions of Egr-1, TGF-beta(1), FN in various lung cells of silicotic rat were analysed by using immunohistochemical technique (SP) and the image analysis.
RESULTSThe expressions of Egr-1 in bronchial epithelial cell, pulmonary macrophage, alveolar epithelium cell and interstitial cell in lung silicotic tissue (gray values: 118.58 +/- 5.65 - 168.52 +/- 5.67) were higher than those of controls (gray values: 166.23 +/- 5.23 - 188.12 +/- 8.35) during 1 - 28 days, and the expression was mainly in nucleus; the expressions of TGF-beta(1) in these cells (gray values: 123.49 +/- 5.65 - 170.24 +/- 3.56) were also higher than those of controls (166.53 +/- 6.25 - 198.56 +/- 4.53), and the expression was mainly in cytoplasm. The expressions of FN in bronchial epithelial cell, pulmonary macrophage and alveolar epithelial cell (gray values: 150.32 +/- 6.54 - 201.54 +/- 7.38) were lower, while those in interstitial cell (gray values: 121.43 +/- 5.65 - 167.55 +/- 6.35) were higher than those of controls. The changes of TGF-beta(1) and Egr-1 expression level in bronchial epithelial cell, pulmonary macrophage, alveolar epithelium cell and interstitial cell were synchronous during the experiment (1 - 28 days). Both of them were correlated with each other (r = 0.61, P < 0.01), while the expression of FN was not correlated with Egr-1, but correlated to TGF-beta(1) in interstitial cell (r = 0.46, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSilicon dioxide could up-regulate the expression of nuclear transcription factor Egr-1 in several kinds of cell in lung. The activated Egr-1 may coordinate the expression of TGF-beta(1) and FN to regulate the development of silicosis.
