Objective:To investigate the protective effect of quercetin(QUE)on acute lung injury(ALI)rats with sepsis.Methods:Sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups(n=10):Sham operation group(Sham),model group(CLP),QUE 25 mg/kg group,QUE 50 mg/kg group,QUE 100 mg/kg group and positive drug dexamethasone(DEX)group.Rats in each group were continuously treated for 7 days,and the survival rate was calculated;HE staining and lung wet-to-dry weight ratio(W/D)were used to evaluate the severity of lung injury;TUNEL staining was used to detect lung tissue apoptosis;levels of inflammatory factors,SOD and MDA were detected by the kits;Western blot was used to detect expressions of apoptosis-related proteins and phosphoryla-tion levels of PTEN,β-catenin,protein kinase B(AKT)and glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β)in rat lung tissue.Results:Com-pared with CLP group,after QUE 50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg treatment,survival rate of rats was significantly increased(P<0.05),the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration in lung tissue was reduced,lung injury score and W/D were reduced(P<0.05),apoptosis rate of lung tissue cells and expressions of apoptosis-related proteins were significantly decreased(P<0.05),levels of inflammatory factors were decreased(P<0.05),while the antioxidant capacity was enhanced(P<0.05),phosphorylation levels of PTEN and β-catenin were decreased,while phosphorylation levels of AKT and GSK-3β were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:QUE protects rats from ALI with sepsis by inhibiting apoptosis,reducing inflammation and antioxidance,which mechanism may be related to PTEN/β-catenin and AKT/GSK-3β pathways.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of Rasburicase therapy in critically ill children su-ffering from advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis of children with advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma was admitted to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University, from January 2015 to May 2020 and accepted treatment.According to the uric acid-lowering therapies, patients were divided into 2 groups, namely Rasburicase group (Group R) and traditional treatment group (Group T), to compare the effects of hypouricemic treatment and the prognosis between the 2 groups.Results:Twenty-nine children with advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma were included in this study, with 13 cases (44.83%) of stage Ⅲ and 16 cases (55.17%) of stage Ⅳ.Abdominal mass/ abdominal distension (13 cases, 44.83%) and abdominal pain (7 cases, 24.14%) were the main reasons of initial medical visit attendance.The most common primary tumor site was abdominal/ pelvic cavity (21 cases, 72.41%), followed by head or neck (6 cases, 20.69%). There were 15 cases in Group R and 14 cases in group T. No significant differences in serum creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase and uric acid were detected between the 2 groups (all P>0.05). The proportion of serum uric acid recovery rate of 24 hours and 72 hours after initial treatment in Group R were significantly higher than those in T group (85.71% vs.25.00%, 100.00% vs.25.00%, all P<0.01). Although there were no obvious differences in the incidence of tumor lysis syndrome between the 2 groups (33.33% vs.64.29%, P=0.096), the incidence of acute renal injury, renal replacement therapy requirement, serious complications and the 28 day mortality in Group R were remarkably lower than those in Group T (33.33% vs.85.71%, 13.33% vs.64.29%, 20.00% vs.78.57%, 0 vs.35.71%, all P< 0.05). Conclusions:Rasburicase can effectively reduce the serum uric acid level and decrease the incidence of acute kidney injury and other severe complications, thus improving the prognosis of children experiencing advanced Burkitt′s lymphoma.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy between stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and surgical treatment for stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Clinical data of 120 patients with early-stage NSCLC who underwent SBRT or surgical treatment in Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from 2012 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Propensity score matching was carried out between two groups.Sixty eligible patients were enrolled in each group.In the SBRT group,the 80％ isodose line covered 95％ of the planning target volume,and the 100％ isodose line covered 100％ of the internal gross tumor volume.The fractional dose was 5-15 Gy and the median biologically equivalent dose was 100 Gy (range:57.6-150.0 Gy).In the operation group,32 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy and 9 patients underwent wedge resection or segmentectomy.Results All patients successfully completed corresponding treatment and were followed up.The median follow-up was 32.3 months (range:8.6-68.4 months).In the operation group,3 patients died from infection within postoperative 90 d,whereas no case died in the SBRT group (P=0.079).In the SBRT group,3 patients died of other factors besides tumor (cerebral infarction,heart disease,etc.) during follow-up.Local-regional recurrence occurred in 12 patients including 5 cases in the operation group and 7 in the SBRT group (P=0.543).In the operation group,11 patients experienced distant metastases with a median disease-free survival (DFS) of 33.5 months.In the SBRT group,6 patients had distant metastases and the median DFS was 38.4 months (P=0.835,P=0.178).In the SBRT group,the 1-and 3-year overall survival rates were 93％ and 83％,and 95％ and 83％ in the operation group (P=0.993).Conclusions The 1-and 3-year overall survival rates and local control rate do not significantly differ between SBRT and operation for patients with early-stage NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the gestation-specific reference intervals (GRIs) and dynamic changes of thyroid function at different gestational ages in Chongqing .Methods Combining self-sequential longtitudinal with cross-sectional study, the serum samples from 640 pregnant women with different gestational age were collected from June 2014 to September 2015 in the Third Military Medical University. The free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroglobulin (TG), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), and antithyroglobulin antibody (TGAb) were detected by the direct chemiluminescence method.According to China Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disease in pregnancy and postpartum in 2012, the reference interval of the thyroid function was calculated.The data were analyzed by Chi square test .Results Established GRIs of thyroid function during pregnancy in Chongqing:The GRIs was 3.68-5.59 pmol/L for FT3, 9.34-17.02 pmol /L for FT4, 0.18-5.26 mIU/L for TSH in 6-9+6 weeks of pregnancy; the GRIs was 3.69-6.03 pmol /L for FT3, 8.42-15.75 pmol/L for FT4、0.09-4.85 mIU/L for TSH in 10-13+6 weeks of pregnancy; the GRIs was 3.24-5.46 pmol /L for FT3, 6.50-14.24 pmol/L for FT4, 0.11-5.13 mIU/L for TSH in 14-27+6 weeks of pregnancy;the GRIs was 3.06-5.05 pmol /L for FT3, 6.12-11.69 pmol/L for FT4, 0.75-3.67 mIU/L for TSH in 30-34 weeks of pregnancy; the GRIs was 2.96-5.00 pmol/L for FT3, 6.26-11.36 pmol /L for FT4, 0.84-5.54 mIU/L for TSH in 36-40 weeks of pregnancy.Screening by GRIs, the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction was 8.75% (46), however, the prevalence was 37.07% (195) in according with the guidelines,χ2 =120.5,P =0.000.The overdiagnosis rate was 28.32%(149 /526).Using the guidelines of thyroid disease and our GRIs, the thyroid disease was found 116 (22.05%) and 30 (5.70%) in the first screening. Moreover, the thyroid disease was found 79(19.27%) and 10(3.23%) during the repeat screening in the normal population.Conclusions Using the GRIs for thyroid function tests in normal singleton pregnant women could reduce the risk of over diagnosis .The detection rate of repeat screening of TPOAb negative patients was close to the first screening detection rate , and repeated screening could reduce the risk of missed diagnosis for thyroid dysfunction in pregnancy women .(Chin J Lab Med, 2016, 39:511-515 )
