ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the expression of Bcl related anti-apoptotic protein 3 (BAG3 protein)in colon cancer and its clinical significance,and to clarify the relationship between its expression and the occurrence and development of colon cancer.Methods:A total of 90 cases of colon cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue were selected, the expressions of BAG3 protein in different tissues were detected by tissue microarray and immunohistochemical SP method;Kaplan-Meier method,univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were used to investigate the relationship between the clinicopathological parameters and the prognosis of the patients with colon cancer.Results:The expression of BAG3 protein in the colon cancer tissue was high,and the positive expression rates of BAG3 protein in the colon cancer tissue and paracancerous tissue were 37.8% and 0.01%,respectively, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05).The expression of BAG3 protein was associated with gender and tumor size (P <0.05),but there was no correlation between the expression of BAG3 protein in the colon cancer tissue and age,pathologic grade,TNM stage,and lymph node metastasis (P >0.05).The Kaplan-Meier results showed that the expression of BAG3 protein in the colon cancer tissue was not related with the prognosis of the patients and the survival rates of the younger patients and the higher TNM staging patients were high. Conclusion:The expression of BAG3 protein in the colon cancer tissue is high,and its expression is associated with the tumor size;BAG3 protein may act as a tumor marker and therapeutic target for colon cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of multiple drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection in respiratory elderly patients.Methods A total of 102 elderly patients infected with multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were enrolled in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2015.At the same time,no multiple drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection elderly patients was selected as a control group.The gender,age,antimicrobial use,white blood cell count,mechanical ventilation time and other differences between the two groups of elderly patients were compared.Results There were significant differences in the days of hospitalization [(18.7±7.5) d vs.(10.0±2.7)d],the time of application of invasive ventilator[(24.6±10.3) d vs.(11.6±6.9)d] and the time of application of antimicrobial agents[(26.2±13.1) d vs.(8.0±2.6)d] (t=19.463、15.436、26.905,all P＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in immunosuppressant use,white blood cell count,serum protein level and APACHEⅡ score (all P＞0.05).Conclusions Reasonable scientific application of antimicrobial agents,reducing invasive mechanical ventilation time and improving patient immunity can help to reduce the risk of respiratory infection in elderly patients with multiple drug resistance to Acinetobacter baumannii.
