ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the practice of comprehensive teaching based on multiple evaluation in general surgery practice teaching.Methods:A total of 83 students were selected from the General Surgery Department, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University. Among them, 40 interns used traditional teaching (control group) and 43 interns used comprehensive teaching based on multiple evaluation (experimental group). After the teaching, the assessment results of the theoretical knowledge and skill operation of the two groups of interns were evaluated, and the instructor evaluated the comprehensive ability of the interns, and evaluated the teaching satisfaction and teaching feedback results. SPSS 24.0 was used for t-test and Chi-square test. Results:After the teaching, the examination scores of interns' theoretical knowledge and skill operation in the experimental group [(94.24±2.28) points and (92.33±2.58) points] were higher than those in the control group [(90.56±2.37) points and (88.75±2.41) points]. The scores of independent learning ability, independent thinking ability, logical thinking ability, group cooperation ability, and humanistic care ability of interns in the two groups after teaching were significantly higher than those before teaching, and the scores of each ability in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). The total satisfaction rate of interns in the experimental group [95.35% (41/43)] was higher than that in the control group [75.00% (30/40)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The experimental group in improving the participation and learning efficiency of interns in teaching activities [97.67% (42/43), 90.70% (39/43)] was significantly higher than the control group [75.00% (30/40), 70.00% (28/40)] ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The application of comprehensive teaching based on multiple evaluation in general surgery practice teaching can help improve the interns' theoretical knowledge and skill operation performance, improve their comprehensive ability and teaching satisfaction, and improve their learning enthusiasm and efficiency, which deserves promotion and application.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous infusion of low-dose intravenous (Ⅳ) heparin during perioperative period of simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation for donation after citizen death (DCD) donor to prevent pancreatic thrombosis post-transplantation.Methods:From January 2015 to August 2019, 46 DCD donors undergoing SPK were divided into retrospective cohort groups 1 ( n=27) and 2 ( n=19). Group 1 received aspirin enteric-coated tablets only at Day 1 post-SPK. In Group 2, 5-7 days of continuous infusion of heparin 260 IU per hour at Day 1 post-SPK was followed by a daily intake of aspirin enteric-coated tablets of 100 mg. Incidence of thrombus, recovery of graft function and adverse reactions of anticoagulant therapy were observed. Results:Thrombosis occurred in (5.3%, 1/19 vs 14.8%, 4/27) in heparin and non-heparin groups. Thrombosis and graft loss were significantly lower in heparin group than those in non-heparin group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Continuous infusion of low-dose heparin vein is effective and safe in preventing thrombosis after SPK transplantation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To observe the relationship between autophagy regulation activity of chromosome 19 open reading frame 5 (C19ORF5) and malignant degree of colorectal cancer and chemosensitivity of paclitaxel.Methods:The tumor tissues and normal adjacent tissues of 141 colorectal cancer patients from 2015 to 2017 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University were selected. The expressions of C19ORF5 protein and mRNA were detected by immunohistochemistry and timed quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The correlation between C19ORF5 protein regulating autophagy activity and malignancy of colorectal cancer was analyzed. All 141 patients received postoperative chemotherapy, among whom 91 patients received conventional chemotherapy (capecitabine combined with oxaliplatin, conventional chemotherapy group), and 50 patients received conventional chemotherapy combined with paclitaxel (paclitaxel group). Six course of treatment was treated in both groups.Results:Autophagosomes could been seen under transmission electron microscopy. C19ORF5 protein was pale yellow to tan granules, and was expressed in the cytoplasm. The C19ORF5 protein staining intensity of cancer tissue was significantly stronger than that of normal tissue, and the staining intensity of stage Ⅱ was significantly higher than that of stage Ⅳ. The high expression rate of C19ORF5 protein in patients with stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ was significantly higher than that in patients with stage Ⅲ to Ⅳ: 83.3% (25/30) vs. 17.1% (19/111), and there was statistical difference ( P<0.01). The expression of C19ORF5 mRNA in cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal tissues: 1.17 ± 0.45 vs. 0.82 ± 0.29, and there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The expression level of C19ORF5 protein in cancer tissue was related to tumor stage, carcinoembryonic antigen and liver metastasis ( P<0.01 or <0.05); the expression level of C19ORF5 protein in cancer tissue was not related to lymph node metastasis ( P>0.05). Of the 91 cases in conventional chemotherapy group, chemotherapy was effective in 70 cases (76.9%) and ineffective in 21 cases (23.1%). Of 50 cases in paclitaxel group, it was effective in 42 cases (84.0%) and ineffective in 8 cases (16.0%). There was no statistical difference in effective rate between 2 groups ( P>0.05). In conventional chemotherapy group, there was no significant difference in serum C19ORF5 protein expression levels between cancer tissues before and after chemotherapy in effective patients and ineffective patients ( P>0.05); there was no significant difference in serum C19ORF5 protein expression levels between effective patients and ineffective patients after chemotherapy ( P>0.05). In paclitaxel group, the expression level of C19ORF5 protein in cancer tissues before chemotherapy was significantly higher than that in serum C19ORF5 protein after chemotherapy: 0.9 ± 0.3 vs. 0.5 ± 0.2, the expression level of serum C19ORF5 protein in patients with effective chemotherapy was significantly lower than that in ineffective patients: 0.5 ± 0.2 vs. 0.8 ± 0.2, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The high expression of C19ORF5 protein can increase the autophagy activity of colorectal cancer tissue; C19ORF5 protein regulates autophagy activity and is negatively correlated with the malignant degree of colorectal cancer; C19ORF5 protein may increase the sensitivity of paclitaxel chemotherapy by enhancing autophagy activity.
ABSTRACT
Circulating tumor cells(CTCs)are a special type of biomarker that can be used as a diagnostic tool to predict the prognosis of multiple tumors.At present,although circulating tumor cells have not been full clinically application,studies on circulating tumor cells have shown high clinical efficacy,especially in the fields of breast cancer,lung cancer,prostate cancer and colorectal canc-er.This article reviews the research progress of circulating tumor cells in metastatic cancer and non-metastatic cancer,analyzes the clinical efficacy and practicability of circulating tumor cells.
ABSTRACT
Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor. Early diagnosis and treatment is one of the most important clinical challenges. Since MicroRNA is discovered to closely relate to cancer, it has been suggested to be used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This review focuses on recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of MicroRNA in colon cancer and the role of MicroRNA in Wnt signaling pathways and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways.

ABSTRACT
Objective To quantitatively analyze brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors by dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-MRI, and to evaluate the quantitative DCE-MRI in the differential diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors. Methods This was a retrospective study including 30 patients with brucellar spondylitis, 30 with tuberculous spondylitis, and 30 with spinal metastatic tumors. The clinical and demographic data were collected. All patients received routine MRI and DCE-MRI examinations. Volume transfer constant(Ktrans), rate constant(Kep), extravascular extracellular volume fraction(Ve) and plasma volume fraction(Vp) of diseased vertebral bodies of the patients with brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors were measured on perfusion parameter maps. All indexes showed non-normal distribution. Differences of all indexes were compared and analyzed statistically with rank-sum test among the above diseases. Results For brucellosis spondylitis, spinal tuberculosis, and vertebrae metastasis, the values of Ktrans were(0.716 ± 0.017),(0.316 ± 0.004),(0.986 ± 0.012)min-1, the values of Kep were(1.326 ± 0.018), (0.747 ± 0.005),(2.899 ± 0.054)min-1, the values of Ve were 0.541 ± 0.011, 0.427 ± 0.017, 0.338 ± 0.007 and the values of Vp were 0.034 ± 0.003, 0.029 ± 0.003, 0.049 ± 0.007. The differences suggested statistical significance(H=50.24, 52.49, 48.31, 46.54, P<0.01) among the three diseases. Conclusion DCE-MRI quantitative analysis is helpful in the differential diagnosis of brucellar spondylitis, tuberculous spondylitis and spinal metastatic tumors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the methylation status of prostate cancer NDRG1 gene promoter region,and to explore the influence of methylation inhibitor 5-azacytidine on NDRG1 gene's mRNA expression in prostate cancer cells and its effects on cell proliferation.Methods Bisulfite-sequencing PCR (BSP) were used to detect the NDRG1 gene promoter methylation status in prostate cancer and BPH tissue,prostate cancer cell lines (PC3,22RV1,LNCaP and DU145) and human normal prostate cell line's RWPE-1.After 10 μmol/L 5-azacytidine were used on LNCaP and DU145 cells for 72 h,5-azacytidine's influence on cell proliferation was analyzed with MTT,two prostate cancer cell lines NDRG1 mRNA expressions were detected with RT-PCR.Results The methylation rates of NDRG1 gene in prostate cancer cell lines PC-3,22RV1,LNCaP and DU145 were (24.8 ± 3.3) ％,(36.2 ± 2.5) ％,(48.6 ± 2.8) ％ and (69.5 ± 1.7) ％,respectively.Methylation rate of Human normal prostate cell lines RWPE-1 was (4.8 ± 4.5) ％;prostate carcinoma was (48.6 ± 5.3) ％,BPH tissue was (4.3 ± 2.1) ％.The differences between groups were statistically significant.After 10 μmol/L 5-azacytidine added on LNCaP and DU145 cells for 72 h,NDRG1 gene demethylation occurred in both cells,its mRNA expression enhanced 8-9 times compared with previous and its cell growth was inhibited (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions NDRG1 gene promoter region's hypermethylation is one of the reasons of its aberrant expression in prostate cancer.5-azacytidine can reverse NDRG1 gene promoter methylation status,regulate the expression of the gene and can inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation.
