ABSTRACT
The concept of a community of common health for mankind profoundly expresses China’s important proposition of promoting the health and well-being of people in various countries and jointly maintaining global public health security, which has a distinct formation logic. The idea of a community of common health for mankind is rooted in the "real community" theory of Marxist, reflecting its value orientation in the field of global health, and highlighting the new era’s inherent requirements of "adhering to the people first". It is an organic unity of theoretical logic, value logic, and practical logic. The construction of a community of common health for mankind gathers broad consensus, highlights the distinct theme of world peace and development, responds to international concerns, and provides Chinese proposals and contributes Chinese strength for governing global public health, practicing multilateralism, and promoting the construction of new international relations.

ABSTRACT
Objective:This study aims to investigate the correlation and significance between the expression of P53 and epitheli-al-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer. Methods:The expression patterns of P53, Twist, Snail, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vi-mentin, and Fibronectin protein were detected via immunohistochemistry in 63 cases with breast carcinoma. The correlation of P53 pro-tein with clinicopathologic features and survival of breast carcinoma, as well as the relationship between the expression of P53 and EMT, was analyzed. Results:The expression rates of P53, Twist, Snail, and EMT are 44.4%(28/63), 54.0%(34/63), 68.3%(43/63), and 41.3%(26/63), respectively. The P53 protein expression is correlated with tumor grade (P0.05). The expression of P53 is also correlated with the expression of Twist and Snail, which are associated with EMT (P<0.05). Multivariate survival analysis reveals that lymph node metastasis, P53, and EMT are independent prognostic factors. Conclu-sion:The expression of P53 is correlated with tumor grade and EMT in breast cancer, which can be used as an independent prognostic factor. Therefore, P53 may be an effective target for breast cancer therapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of three-dimensional interactive reduction of femoral neck and shaft in treatment of irreducible femoral neck fracture.Methods The study enrolled 40 patients with irreducible femoral neck fractures treated by three-dimensional interactive reduction of femoral neck/shaft and internal fixation with three cannulated screws from June 2011 to July 2013 (study group).Frontal and lateral X-ray films were taken after operation.Garden index was used to evaluate the fracture reduction quality and Harris hip score was recorded.Meanwhile,a retrospective analysis was performed on 32 patients with irreducible femoral neck fractures treated by open reduction and internal fixation with cannulated screws between January 2008 and December 2010 (control group).Results Patients in study group obtained satisfactory reduction by minimally traumatic closed reduction.According to the Garden index,fracture reduction quality was level 1 in 24 patients and level 2 in 16 patients.Thirty-two patients were followed up for 12-28 months (mean,21 months),which showed fracture healing.At the final follow-up,Harris hip score was 87 points (range,61-100 points) and 4 patients had femoral head avascular necrosis.By contrast,6 patients in control group showed fracture nonunion.At the final follow-up,Harris hip score was 60 points (range,20-100 points) and 8 patients had femoral head avascular necrosis.Conclusion Three-dimensional interactive reduction of femoral neck and shaft provides good hip function recovery and decreased incidence of femoral head avascular necrosis and fracture disunion compared with the open reduction and internal fixation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in the dog days, or in both of the dog days and coldest days for the treatment of recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) in children. Methods This intervention was designed as a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, repeated-measurement design. A total of 240 RRTI children were randomly divided into Sanfu group (N=120, herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in the dog days) and Fujiu group (N=120, herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in both of the dog days and coldest days). Each group was treated for one year and then was followed up for one year. Before and after the treatment, we observed the frequency of respiratory tract infection, the period of onset, signs and symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and detected the salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) at different time points. Results (1) The therapeutic effect of Fujiu group was better than that of Sanfu group, and the difference was significant (P<0.05). (2) The frequency of respiratory tract infection was reduced, the period of onset was shortened, and TCM signs and symptoms were improved in both groups, and the effect of Fujiu group was superior to that of Sanfu group (P<0.05). (3) Salivary sIgA showed a continuous upward trend in Fujiu group while a mild downward trend in Sanfu group at different time points (P<0.05). Conclusion Herbal ion application and penetration therapy applied in both of the dog days and coldest days shows better effect for the treatment of children RRTI than that applied only in the dog days.
ABSTRACT
Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlation between the expression of FoxP3, TGF-β1, and epitheli-al-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer and to determine the clinical significance of FoxP3. Methods: The expression of FoxP3, TGF-β1, E-Cadherin, N-Cadherin, Vimentin, and Fibronectin protein were detected in the cancer cells of 74 cases with breast carcinoma via immunohistochemistry. The correlation of FoxP3 protein with clinico-pathologic features of breast carcinoma and the re-lationships among the expressions of FoxP3, TGF-β1, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were analyzed. Results:The ex-pression rates of FoxP3, TGF-β1, and EMT are 36.5%(27/74), 39.2%(29/74), and 40.5%(30/74), respectively. The FoxP3 protein ex-pression in breast cancer is correlated with lymph node metastasis (P0.05). The expression of FoxP3 is also correlated with the expression of TGF-β1. Furthermore, TGF-β1 can induce EMT (P<0.05). Conclu-sion:The expression of FoxP3 is correlated with lymph node metastasis and EMT in breast cancer. Therefore, FoxP3 may be a marker for predicting metastasis.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the effects of Bushen Gubiao Recipe (BGR), a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine, on toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway and CD4(+)CD25(+)foxp3(+)regulatory T cells (CD4(+)CD25(+)foxp3(+)Tregs) in mice with recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs).
ABSTRACT
We compare the results of two subcutaneous insulin regimens in type 2 diabetic patients with fractures during the perioperative period. In group Ⅰ 162 patients received regular insulin three times+ NPH insulin bedtime protocol; in group Ⅱ 72 patients received regular insulin three times + NPH insulin twice protocol. The difference of the time achieving satisfactory level of blood glucose (BG) and associated factors were analyzed, and the related complications were observed. The average time achieving satisfactory BG level was (9.1±3. 3) days and (7.0±2.6) days for group Ⅰ and Ⅱ respectively (P <0.05). There were no statistical differences in hypoglycemia, infection and thrombosis between two groups. Binary logistics regression showed that the time of achieving desired BG level was associated with blood glucose(BG) and the proportion of the regular insulin and the NPH. The results indicate that five times insulin injection method can shorten the time of achieving desired BG level and may be benefit to diabetic patients with fracture.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the association of serum uric acid level with the different states of glucose metabolism and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) reflected by creatinine clearance rate and to test the hypothesis that increased GFR is one of the determinants of serum uric acid level. Methods 822 subjects with high risk factors for diabetes in Beijing area underwent a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) for screening of diabetes. The subjects were divided into three groups:NGT,IGR and DM after OGTT. SUA and Ccr were compared between three groups. The general linear model was employed to test the relationships of the small FPG intervals with SUA and Ccr. Results The correlations of uric acid level with sex,BMI,TG,HbA1c and Ccr remained significant in a multiple regression analysis. After adjusting sex,BMI and TG,the newly diagnosed DM group had the lowest SUA level(P<0.01) and the highest Ccr(P<0.01). When fasting glucose level was stratified by a grade of 1 to 2mmol/L,we found that the correlation between SUA and FPG levels became significant only when FPG was higher than 7.0 mmol/L(P<0.01) and the correlation between Ccr and FPG levels became significant only when FPG was between 6.0 mmol/L and 10.0 mmol/L (P<0.01). Conclusions This study confirms the previous finding that SUA level decreases in diabetes,and provides a supporting evidence that the increased GFR might contribute to the fall of SUA level
