Conclusion:There is a significant negative correlation between the occurrence of acute cerebral infarction complicated with MI and the level of APN, and positive correlations between HMGB1 and insulin resistance.
ABSTRACT
The human microbiome is closely related to human health status. Disruption of the symbiotic balance of the human microbiome is commonly found in systematic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and chronic gastric diseases. The human microbiome confers benefits or disease susceptibility to the human body through multiple pathways, associated with approximately 20% of malignancies. The incidence and mortality of lung cancer (LC) in men in China are the highest among all malignancies, which is a serious threat to human health. Emerging evidence has suggested that the human microbiota may be closely related to lung cancer at multiple levels, e.g., by affecting metabolic, inflammatory, or immune pathways. At the same time, the human microbiota affects the efficacy of lung cancer on chemoradiotherapy, gene therapy, immunotherapy and other treatments. Immunotherapy is a promising method for the treatment of malignancies such as lung cancer, but the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients is heterogeneous. Preclinical studies based on lung cancer cell lines suggest that the intestinal microbiota can modulate responses to anti--PD-1 therapy through interactions with the host immune system. But for lung cancer patients, whether the intestinal flora can still regulate immunotherapy remains controversial. In this mini-review, we summarize current research findings describing therapeutic relevance of human microbiota and lung cancer. A better knowledge of the interplay between the human microbiome and lung cancer may promote the development of innovative strategies for prevention and personalized treatment in lung cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the therapeutic effects of edaravone, oxiracetam combined with Shuxuetong on cerebral hematoma and improvement of neurological function in patients with cerebral hemorrhage.@*Methods@#A total of 96 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were randomly divided into observation group and control group by the random number table method, with 48 cases in each group.The observation group received intravenous drip of edaravone (4.0g added into 0.9% sodium chloride injection to 250mL, intravenous drip, 1 time/d), oxiracetam(30mg added into 0.9% sodium chloride injection to 100mL solution, 30min intravenous drip, 2 times/d), and Shuxuetong injection(4mL added into 0.9% sodium chloride injection to 250mL, intravenous drip, 1 time/d) on the basis of routine treatment, and the control group was treated with routine treatment for cerebral hemorrhage.The efficacy and safety in the two groups after treatment of 21 days were observed.@*Results@#After treatment, the neurological deficit score and cerebral hematoma volume of the two groups were improved(all P<0.05), but the improvements of the observation group was significantly better than those of the control group[(4.44±3.20)points vs.(10.53±2.86)points, (21.83±3.85)points vs.(26.71±3.49)points, (7.83±5.31)mL vs.(13.74±6.16)mL, t=9.818, 6.506, 5.035, all P<0.01]. The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group(87.5% vs.52.1%, χ2=14.740, P<0.05). No drug-related adverse reactions occurred in two groups.@*Conclusion@#The application of oxiracetam and edaravone combined with Shuxuetong injection in patients with cerebral hemorrhage can effectively improve the brain edema and nerve defect, it has a positive significance to promote the patients' recovery after cerebral hemorrhage, and it is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the management of nursing adverse events based on JCI evaluation criteria, and to establish a voluntary, non-punitive nursing adverse event reporting system.Methods From January 2014 to December 2015, 680 hospital nurses implemented JCI standards, revision of nursing adverse events management system, created online of nursing adverse events reporting system, to all nursing staff of adverse event management knowledge training and improvement before the analysis of the implementation of the JCI standard, adverse event reporting process and treatment measures of awareness, took the initiative to report rate, nursing adverse events incidence, patient satisfaction rate.Results Before and after nursing staff of adverse event reporting procedure and disposal method of awareness to improve the rate of 39.43% implementation, nursing staff to take the initiative to report to enhance the rate of 7.54%,the incidence of nursing adverse events to reduce the rate of 0.07%,the patients' satisfaction rate increased by 6.15%,there were statistically significant differences(x2=13.50,10.15,12.09,231.51,all P<0.05).Conclusion Nursing adverse events management constructed based on JCI accreditation standards is helpful to avoid the occurrence of nursing adverse events, to improve the rate of patients' satisfaction to nursing, to create a secure hospital atmosphere.
ABSTRACT
Background To investigate the expression of the early growth response gene-1 ( Egr-1 ) mRNA after focal cerebral ischemia / reperfusion in rats.Methods Ten healthy male SD rats weighing 200 ～ 250 g were used to create model of focal cerebral ischemia. The expression of Egr-1 after focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in rats was determined using in situ hybridization and RT-PCR.Results (1) The result of the in situ hybridization: A trace amount of Egr-1 mRNA expressed in the neurons and the glial cells in the sham operated group. The expression of Egr-1 mRNA at the ischemic side increased dramatically following ischemia and reached peaks after 4 hours' reperfusion. Egr-1 expression started to subside following 22 hours' reperfusion and further decreased following 166 hours' reperfusion, which was still significantly higher than that in the sham operated group. (2) The result of RT-PCR: The expression of Egr-1 mRNA at the ischemic side was significantly higher than that in the sham operated group at all time points after ischemia/reperfusion in the rats(P ＜0. 01). Expression of Egr-1 increased 2 h after ischemia and reached the peak 4 h following reperfusion, and then decreased dramatically at 46 h after reperfusion which was still higher than that in the sham operated group (P ＜ 0. 01). As the ischemia/reperfusion period prolonged, the expression of Egr-1 mRNA increased gradually, but still detectable even 166 h following reperfusion. The expression of Egr-1 was significantly higher than that in the sham operated group at all time points (P ＜0. 01).Conclusions The expression of Egr-1 mRNA increase in the neurons and the glial cells after ischemia/reperfusion, which may have protective effects on ischemic brain tissues.
