Objective To investigate the molecular mechanism of aprepitant(Apr)reversing 5-Fluorouracil(5-FU)resistance in colorectal cancer(CRC)mouse model through endoplasmic re-ticulum stress(ERS).Methods Thirty mice were selected as experimental animals.Five mice were randomly assigned to control group,and the remaining 25 mice underwent subcutaneous injection in the back to establish the HCT-116/5-FU CRC mouse model.These mice were then divided into the CRC group,5-FU group,Apr group,Apr+5-FU group and Apr+ERS inhibitor Tauroursodeoxychol-ic acid(TUDCA)group,with five mice in each group.Changes in body weight and tumorigenesis in mice were recorded,and their organ indicators were calculated.Western blotting(WB)was used to detect the protein expression levels of protein kinase R-like ER kinase(PERK),eukaryotic initiation factor 2 subunit α(eIF2α),activating transcription factor 4(ATF4)and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)in each group.Results At 5,10,15 and 20 d after medication,there were no statistically significant differences in body weight among CRC,5-FU,Apr,Apr+5-FU and Apr+TUDCA groups,neither in time points nor in interactions(P>0.05).Two days after the last administration,there was no significant difference in the indexes of thymus,lung,liver,spleen,heart,kidney and other organs among all groups(P>0.05).Compared with CRC group,the protein expression levels of PERK,P-EIF2α/eIF2α,ATF4 and CHOP in Apr group and Apr+5-FU group were significantly increased,the number of tumors was significantly decreased,the tumor mass was significantly de-creased,and the tumor volume was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and the improvement of Apr+5-FU group was better than that of other groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Apr can enhance chemotherapy sensitivity and reverse chemotherapy resistance in CRC mice,which may be mediated by downstream molecules of ERS pathway.

Objective To explore the effect of regional synergistic treatment system on the treatment time and short-term prognosis of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of STEMI patients who admitted to emergency center of Suzhou Kowloon Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) from January 2013 to January 2017 were conducted. All patients were divided into two groups, group A was the patients who underwent the PPCI before the establishment of the acute chest pain area co-treatment system (from January 2013 to December 2014), and group B was the patients who received the treatment after the establishment of the area co-treatment system (from January 2015 to January 2017). The length of time from onset of symptoms to the balloon dilatation (S2B), the length of time from the first medical contact to the balloon dilatation (FMC2B), the length of time from entering the gate of hospital to the balloon dilatation (D2B), and the incidence of 90-day end point events (including heart failure, all-cause death, and other related adverse events) were collected. The relations of the establishment of the acute chest pain area co-treatment system and the incidence of 90-day end point events were analyzed by multivariable Logistic regression analysis.Results Among the 221 enrolled patients with STEMI, 83 patients were in group A and 138 patients were in group B respectively. Compared with group A, S2B time [minutes: 180 (140, 210) vs. 201 (154, 225)], FMC2B time [minutes: 89 (78, 100) vs. 94 (83, 107)] and D2B time [minutes: 66 (62, 70) vs. 85 (72, 99)] were significantly shortened in group B (allP < 0.05), the incidence of 90-day end point events were significantly decreased (heart failure:20.3% vs. 32.5%, all-cause death: 1.4% vs. 7.2%, other related adverse events: 23.2% vs. 36.1%, allP < 0.05). It was shown by multivariable Logistic regression analysis that the establishment of the acute chest pain area co-treatment system could lower the incidence of 90-day end point events [heart failure: odds ratio (OR) = 1.904, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.968-1.004, P = 0.048; all-cause death:OR = 11.724, 95%CI = 0.955-1.048,P = 0.013; other related adverse events:OR = 1.925, 95%CI = 1.049-3.530,P = 0.034].Conclusion The construction of regional synergistic treatment system can shorten the emergency treatment time of STEMI patients and reduce the incidence of 90-day end point events including heart failure and death.

Objective To learn about the overall genomic characteristics and population structure of Helicobacterpylori isolated in China.Methods In this study,we used 10 public available genome sequences of H.pylori strains isolated in China,combined with other H.pylori sequences from GenBank,to analyzed the overall genomic characteristics of H.pylori isolated in China.Core genes and strain specific genes were determined for a further function definition.Results A total of 1 203 core genes were found among all sequenced China H.pylori isolates.The number of strain specific genes ranged from 19 to 32.These genes mainly encodes hypothetical proteins which might play an important role in adaption to different hosts.Genomic variation regions were mainly in genes encoding type four secretion systems and restriction modification systems.All the China isolates belong to hpEastAsia group,hspEAsia subgroup.Prophages sequences were found in three China H.pylori strains,carrying key elements required for phage assembly.Conclusion China H.pylori isolates belong to hpEastAsia group,hspEAsia subgroup,and some isolates contain prophages.

Objective To determine the effect of community family visit on patients with metabolic syndrome.Methods According to the diagnostic criteria set up by the Diabetes Society of the Chinese Medical Association 220 patients with metabolic syndrome were equally divided into two groups:family visit group and control group.The family visit group was followed up by full-time medical staff regularly,while not interfering with the control group.After one year before and after the intervention,the relevant indicators were compared between the two groups.Results The levels of SBP,DBP,TG,TC,LDL-ch,24-hour urine protein were lowered markedly by intervention (P<0.05).HDL-ch increased compared to the previous (t= 7.921,P<0.05),but body mass index were not significantly changed.Before and after the intervention the levels of SBP,DBP,TG were ideal This was followed by significant improvement of fasting plasma glucose (FPG),two hours after meal blood glucose (2 hPG),TC,HDL set standards,24-hour urine protein body mass index.Compared with the control group,the family visit group showed siguificant improvement of related indicators except body mass index and TC.Condusion Intervention by family visit is effective in improving the vales of metabolic syndrome.
