Objective:To improve the awareness of Beh?et′s disease with ventricular neoplasm.Methods:A case with fever, thrombosis, and right ventricular neoplasm was described. The diagnosis and treatment were analyzed and discussed.Results:A young male with genital ulcers and oral ulcers, ocular, skin, and vascular lesions presenting as large venous thrombus, was diagnosed with Beh?et′s disease. Pathological results of space-occupying lesion in right ventricle revealed inflammation and necrotic substance. Endocarditis was considered. Glucocorticoids and cyclophosphamide was given, together with warfarin. During one-year follow-up, the patient remained stable.Conclusion:It is difficult to distinguish between Beh?et′s disease with cardiac neoplasm and infective endocarditis or cardiac tumor based on clinical manifestations and imaging only. Multidisciplinary management is a valuable approach for the diagnosis and treatment.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a chronic liver disease caused by excessive lipid accumulation in the liver.Its incidence rate is increasing year by year and has become an increasingly serious public healthy problem.The pathogenesis of NAFLD is complex and has not been fully clarified at present.It is mainly related to multiple factors such as genetics,metabolism,intestinal flora and immune response.In order to explore the medication rules and mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of NAFLD,and to provide references for the treatment of NAFLD with TCM and the research and development of new drugs,this article summarizes the TCM pathogenesis of NAFLD(such as"phlegm and blood stasis interlacing","liver depression and spleen deficiency",etc.)and modern etiology and pathogenesis(such as insulin resistance,lipid disorder,mitochondrial dysfunction,oxidative stress,etc.).The clinical research and experimental data at home and abroad in recent years were integrated to analyze the pathological process of NAFLD intervention by TCM through multiple targets,including improving insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders,inhibiting oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction,etc.TCM has shown unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.However,the depth of its mechanism analysis and the level of clinical research still need to be improved.In the future,it is necessary to deepen the mechanism research by combining multi-omics technology to accelerate the modernization development of TCM.

From the perspective of new quality productivity,it is a new direction and opportunity to train innovative talents with modern technology and professional knowledge.This paper introduces the practice of"Topic-based"experimental teaching in the course of Clinical Immunology Laboratory Technology,and explores the possible ways to train new qualified personnel of medical labo-ratory technology.

The activation of the P2X7 receptor as an ATP-gated ion channel,triggers the release of pro-inflammato-ry cytokines in tumor carring individuals and stimulate excitation of injury-causing neurons,thereby exacerbating the transmission of pain.In preclinical cancer pain models,it has the potential to serve as a new therapeutic target for cancer pain management.

Objective:To analyze the expression and prognosis of B-cell lymphoma 7 protein family member A (BCL7A) in hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as the effect and mechanism of BCL7A expression on the invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Methods:The cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of 40 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent radical hepatobiliary resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from November 2017 to March 2018 were prospectively collected for protein extraction, including 29 males and 11 females, aged (58.5±10.4) years. The information of 374 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and 50 cases of adjacent tissues were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines Hep3B and SMMC-7721 were transfected with overexpressing BCL7A plasmid and empty vector plasmid (negative control), respectively. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of BCL7A, and Western blotting was also used to detect the expression of proteins related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (N-cadherin, E-cadherin, snail). Transwell and cell scratch assays were used to detect cell invasion and migration.Results:Compared with adjacent tissues, the mRNA expression of BCL7A in 50 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in TCGA was significantly increased ( t=13.38, P<0.001). According to the median mRNA expression level of BCL7A, 374 patients were divided into BCL7A high expression group ( n=187) and low expression group ( n=187), and the cumulative survival rate of BCL7A high expression patients was lower than that of low expression group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.95, P=0.009). Western blot was used to detect the relative expression of BCL7A protein in cancer tissues, and found it was higher compared to adjacent tissues. Compared with the negative control group, the number of cells invaded by the BCL7A overexpression group of hepatoma cells Hep3B and SMMC-7721 was more than the negative control group respectively, (153.7±1.3) vs (63.7±4.7) and (307.7±25.14) vs (72.3±12.5), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.97, 8.38, both P=0.001) .The results of the cell scratch assay were consistent with the results of the Transwell invasion assay. The expressions of N-cadherin and snail in the BCL7A overexpression group were higher than those in the negative control group, and the E-cadherin was lower, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of BCL7A in cancer tissues of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma is elevated and is associated with poor prognosis. BCL7A may promote hepatocellular carcinoma cell metastasis and invasion by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early protein supplementation on the clinical outcomes of elderly ICU patients with critically ill.Methods:The study was a post-hoc analysis of a multicenter, cluster randomized controlled trial (NEED trial), which aimed to evaluate the impact of feeding protocol on nutritional implementation and outcomes in ICU patients. It was planned to include elderly patients aged ≥70 years from the NEED trial, and patients who had not started nutritional therapy by the Day 3 after enrolment, stayed in the ICU less than 7 days, missing the primary outcome were excluded. The primary outcome of this study was 28-day mortality of enrolment. Patients were categorized into Q1 (<0.6 g/kg/d), Q2 (0.6-0.83 g/kg/d), and Q3 (≥0.83 g/kg/d) groups according to the tertiles of protein supply. The log-rank test was used to compare the Kaplan-Meier survival curves for 28-day mortality. The associations between different protein groups and 28-day mortality were tested by Cox proportional hazards regression models. Subgroup analysis was conducted in patients with high (mNUTRIC score≥5) nutritional risk or patients with baseline acute kidney injury.Results:A total of 789 elderly (≥70 years) patients was included in the study, with a mean protein amount of 0.69 (0.53, 0.91) g/(kg·d) during days 3-7 after ICU admission, and mean protein amounts in the Q1 low-protein group, the Q2 medium-protein group, and the Q3 high-protein group were 0.46 (0.36, 0.53), 0.69 (0.63, 0.76), and 1.03 (0.91, 1.23) g/(kg·d), respectively. The results showed that the medium protein group associated with lower 28-day mortality compared to the high protein group, and the association between the medium protein group and lower 28-day mortality still held after controlling for possible confounders by Cox multivariate regression analysis. In the high-nutritional risk subgroup (mNUTRIC≥5), a significant association was also found between the medium protein group and lower 28-day mortality.Conclusions:Early high protein supply are not beneficial for elderly ICU patients by this large sample size post-hoc analysis, and medium protein supply associate with lower 28-day mortality compared with the high protein group. This study may provide a theoretical basis for the optimal dose of early protein supply in elderly ICU patients, as well as a reference for clinical implementation.

Objective:To verify the effect of Fu′s massage combined with physical therapy technology in rapidly relieving neck and low back pain caused by long-haul flight.Methods:Forty-two male volunteers were divided into 8, 12, 16, 24 and 48 h groups according to the simulated flying hours. After the completion of the simulated long-haul flight, the 5 groups of volunteers were immediately treated with Fu′s massage combined with physical factors for neck and low back pain. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the cervical and lumbar pain of volunteers after simulated flight and after treatment, and the treatment effect was before treatment analyzed.Results:There were significant differences in the VAS scores of cervical and lumbar regions before treatment among volunteers with different flying hours ( H=-30.15, -28.25, both P<0.001). The VAS scores of cervical and lumbar regions of volunteers in the 24 h and 48 h groups were higher than those in the 8 h group ( P=0.002, <0.001, =0.002, <0.001). The VAS scores of cervical and lumbar regions of volunteers in the 48 h group were higher than those in the 12 h group ( P=0.016, 0.001). The VAS score of cervical region of volunteers in the 48 h group was higher than that in the 16 h group ( P=0.033). After the intervention of Fu's massage combined with physical therapy, the VAS scores of cervical and lumbar regions in each group were lower than those before treatment, and the differences were significant ( t/ Z=-3.00-17.00, all P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:Fu′s massage manipulation combined with physical treatment can effectively relieve the neck and low back pain caused by long-haul flight, which can be widely used as a relief method.
