ABSTRACT
Objective Taking nurses relative number prediction for example,this paper discussed the application of Information Renewal GM (1,1)—Linear Regression Coupling Model in the prediction of health personnel resources,so as to provide methodology reference for forecasting health personnel.Methods The information renewal GM(1,1) and linear regression coupling model was built and explored to predict and fit analyzing.Results The error between the predictive value that calculated by information renewal GM(1,1) and the actual value was small,and the prediction accuracy of coupling model was high.Conclusion The coupling model not only remedied the defect that grey system model did not including linear factors,but also improved the fact that linear forecasting model could not express exponential growth.Therefore the coupling model was reasonable and feasible.
ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize clinical experience in removal of residual metallic foreign body in the soft tissue.Methods Clinical data of 742 cases with residual metallic foreign body in the soft tissue were analyzed.All the patients were forward from other hospitals with failed removal of the foreign body.Second surgery was performed in our hospital by grasping forceps using 3D-locator under the guidance of the C-shaped arm X-ray machine.Results Foreign body,such as scrap-iron,broken needle,nails,wine and so on located at different regions of soft tissues including neck,chest and abdomen,pelvis,and the four limbs were all successfully taken out.Removal rate of the foreign body was 100％.No complications such as bleeding,infection and nerve damage was occurred.The mean time of the procedures and radiation exposure for the removal surgery was 5 minutes.Conclusion Using 3D-locator and grasping forceps under the guidance of the X-ray,the residual metallic foreign bodies can be removed safely and efficiently.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the past 5 years' clinic experience of diagnosis and treatment of the pediatric soft-tissue foreign body (STFB),and to probe new strategies for its clinical management.MethodsTotally 165 consecutive children with small radiopaque STFB were involved.All the children were diagnosed with X-rays.CT (enhanced CT in 9 children)and virtual anatomy imaging (VAI) were performed in 40 children.Percutaneous foreign body forceps removal guided with C-arm video-fluoroscopy was performed and the effect was evaluated.ResultsThe longest dimension of STFB ranged from 1 mm to 40 mm,and the shortest dimension ranged from 1 mm to 5 mm,including scrap-iron,broken iron nails and needles,and glass pieces embedded in soft tissues under surface of the limbs,neck,chest,abdomen and pelvis.Seventy-six (76/165,46.06 ％) children received interventional therapy,and 73 were completely cured (73/76,96.05 ％),2 were partially cured (2/76,2.63 ％),and 1 was failed (1/76,1.32 ％).VAI accurately depicted STFB closely to large vessels even associated vascular complication with local large hematomas or pseudoaneurysms,helped to select the treatment methods and the forceps removal roads.Hematoma,infection,neural damages and other serious complications did not occur during and after operation.ConclusionVideo-fluoroscopy-guided percutaneous foreign body forceps removal is minimally invasive,safe and effective for small radiopaque STFBs,but may not suitable for the one very close to large blood vessels with or without vascular injuries complications.Preoperative CT VAI is helpful to locate STFB within complicated anatomic structures,selecting optimal intervention pathway and assessing the risk of intervention.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate whether antisense integrin αV and β3 gene therapy has antitumor activity for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods In this study,120 male nude mice at the age of 4 weeks old were devided into 4 groups randomly.The antisense integrin αV and β3 expression vectors were iniected into HepG2 hepatomas established in nude mice to monitor tumor growth after 6 weeks.Tumot inhibit rate was calculated.Tunor microvessel density(MVD)was determined by immunohistochemical staining,and tumor apoptosis by TUNEL. Results The tumor weight of the control group,αV group,β3 group and αVβ3 group was(1.38±0.92)g、(1.28±0.27)g、(1.30±0.34)g、(1.08±0.16)g respectively.The difference between each two groups was significant(q12=4.76,q13=3.73,q14=14.28,P＜0.05);The MVD was(17.53±1.88)、(16.06±1.92)、(15.83±2.00)、(14.86±1.69)respectively,(q12=3.91,q13=4.55,q14=7.13,P＜0.01);The AI of the control group,αV group,β3 group and αVβ3 group was 10.53%±3.29%,19.80%±4.06%,21.93%±3.26%,24.03%±4.45%respectively,with the difference being significant among groups(q12=29.41,q13=33.52,q14=39.7,P＜0.01).Conclusions Antisense gene therapy targeting αV and β3 integrins exerts dramatic inhibition on the growth of the tumor.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect and the mechanism of up-regulating histone acetylizad level with a selective inhibitor of HDACs-Valproate acid sodium (VPA) on breast cancer cell proliferation. Methods MCF-7 cells were cultured with 0.75-4.0 mmol/L valproic acid (VPA) for 24, 48, 72, 96 hours in vitro, the inhibiting rate was tested by MTT assay. Cell cycle was analyzed by flow eytome- try with PI assay, and the protein and mRNA expressions of Cyelin A, Cyclin DI, Cyclin E, P21Waf/cipl of MCF-7 cells after 1.5, 3.0 mmol/ L VPA treated were analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence technique and RT-PCR respectively. Results After cultured with 0.75 -4.0 mmol/L valproic acid (VPA) for 24, 48, 72, 96 hours, the inhibiting rate of experimental groups increased significantly(P<0.01) and a dose and acting time dependent manner was found. As to cell cycle, the percentages of GI, S, M phrase in control groups remained the same. Contrary to control groups, 0. 75 -4.0 mmo]/L VPA induced a significant arrest in G1 phrase ( P<0.01), and a total of 55.4% -82.8% G1 phrase ratio were found. P21Waf/cipl was up-regulated both at the mRNA and protein level while Cyclin D1 was down-regulated ( P<0.001). Conversely, neither mRNA nor protein expression of Cyclin A, Cyclin E showed difference ( P>0.05). Conclusions Up- regulating histone acetylizad level can inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation, induce cell cycle arrest in G1 phrase. VPA, as a I class of histone deaeetylase inhibitor, can be used as an option in the treatment of breast cancer. The mechanism may include up-regulating P21Waf/cipl mRNA and protein expression and down-regulating Cyclin D1 mRNA and protein expression.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the regulation on cell cycle related factor such as Cyclins and P21waf/cip1 by inhibiting histone deacetylase(HDAC)with valproic acid sodium(VPA).Methods HepG2 hep-tocellular carcinoma cells.BGC-823 gastric carcinoma cells and MCF-7 breast cancer cells were cultured with O.75-4.00 mmoL/L VPA for 48 h in vivo.and the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry with PI assay.The protein and mRNA expression of Cyclin A,Cyclin D1,Cyclin E and P21waf/cip1 were analyzed by indirect immu-nofluorescence technique and RT-PCR.respectively.Results Compared with control groups,VPA at concen-trations 0.75-4.00 mmol/L exerted a significant inhibiting effect on G1 phase of HepG2,BGC-823 and MCF-7 cells(P<0.001).and the effect was dose dependent.Cyclin A was down-regulated both at mRNA and protein level in HepG2 and BGC-823 cells(P<0.001),but no difference in MCF-7 cells(P>0.05).Cyclin D1 was down-regulated both at mRNA and protein level(P<0.001)and P2lwaf/cip1 was up-regulated both at the mRNA and protein level in the three cell lines(P<0.001);Conversely,protein and mRNA expression of Cyclin E were unchanged upon treatment with VPA(P>0.05).Condusion Acetylization of histone intervened with VPA can regulate Cyclin D1 and P21waf/cip1 expressions obviously.To the expression of Cyclin A,it shows some difference according to the histogenesis and phenotypes of different carcinoma types.But there is not any obvious function on Cyclin E.Down-regulating Cychn D1 and up-regulating P21waf/cip1 may be the common target path-way in the inhibition of cell cycle G1 phase exerted by VPA.
