ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the expression of X chromosome coupled zinc finger protein(ZFX) in the serum and pathology of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer before and after treatment and its evaluation in the chemotherapy efficacy.Methods Forty cases(NSCLC group)with non-small cell lung cancer treated in Baotou Central Hospital from January 2013 to October 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The control group included 40 normal people who may have tumor by normal physical examination.Based on the blood tests of research subjects before and after treatment,the peripheral blood ZFX content was detected by the quantitative detection, ZFX expression was detected by tissue morphological identification and immunohistochemical methods.Results The level of adenocarcinoma ZFX serum was(15.32± 2.01)μg/L, squamous cell carcinomas ZFX serum level was(11.65±4.12)μg/L,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(t=3.216,P<0.05); the ZFX serum level of non-small cell lung cancer group was (17.55±0.37)μg/L before treatment,and was(6.35± 0.06)μg/L after treatment which was significantly lower,the difference was statistically significant(t=188.97,P<0.05); the serum level of non-small cell lung cancer group before treatment was(17.55±0.37)μg/L,after treatment was(6.35±0.06)μg/L,compared with (2.29± 0.01)μg/L,(2.29 ± 0.01)μg/L in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (before treatment:t=260.75,after treatment t=422.14,P<0.05); the expression of ZFX in adenocarcinoma was(15.32±2.01)ug / L,higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma((11.65±4.12)μg/L),the difference was statistically significant(t=3.216,P<0.05);the expression of ZFX in CR+PR group before treatment was (17.35±0.46)μg/L,higher than that after treatment((6.24±0.11)μg/L),the difference was statistically significant(t=142.88,P<0.05).Conclusion The expression of ZFX in peripheral blood serum and pathology may be a marker for the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer,and it has guiding significance for the diagnosis and curative effect evaluation of lung cancer.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of Shenshuai Yingyang Capsule (SSYYJN) in ameliorating muscle atrophy in rats with chronic renal failure (CRF) and explore the role of Wnt7a-Akt/mTOR signal pathway in mediating this effect.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Male rats were randomly assigned to 5/6 nephrectomy group and sham-operated group, and the former group was further randomly divided into CRF model group, KA group, and SSYYJN group. The size of anterior tibia muscle was examined microscopically with HE staining. Protein synthesis in the soleus muscle was investigated by (14)C-phenylalanine experiment, and the expression of Wnt7a, frizzled-7, phospho-Akt, phospho-mTOR and GAPDH were detected with Western blotting.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The body weight, the wet and dry weight, cross-sectional area, and muscle protein synthesis of the anterior tibia muscles, and expressions of the proteins in the Wnt7a/Akt signaling pathway all increased significantly in SSYYJN and KA groups as compared with those in the model group.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SSYYJN can effectively improve muscle atrophy in the rat model of CRF possibly by reversing the reduction in the expressions of Wnt7a/Akt signaling pathway proteins in the skeletal muscles.</p>

Objective To study the effect of assisted thoracic small incision on serum CK19 mRNA and Lunx mRNA in patients with lung cancer.Methods 90 patients with lung cancer were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group.45 patients in the control group were operated through thoracotomy,while 45patients in the observation group were operated through assisted thoracic small incision.Serum CK19 mRNA and Lunx mRNA were detected before and after operation through RT-PCR.Results Serum CK19 mRNA and Lunx mRNA were decreased after operation (t =19.682,12.784,7.824,7.085,all P ＜ 0.01).And the mRNA levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (t =1.900,1.438,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Assisted thoracic small incision can decrease serum CK19 mRNA and Lunx mRNA in patients with lung cancer,which can improve micrometastasis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the influence of Ivor-Lewis surgery on lung function and quality of life of elderly patients with esophageal cancer .Methods 122 elderly patients with esophageal cancer were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group ,61 cases in each group .The control group was given Sweet surgery , observation group was given Ivor-Lewis surgery.The operative time,blood loss,number of lymph node dissection , drainage and hospitalization time were observed .Postoperative lung function 3 days after operation and life quality of patients 3 months after operation were compared between the two groups .Results The operative time,blood loss, drainage,and hospital stay in the observation group were (162.4 ±30.4) min,(260.1 ±33.7) mL,(1 254.1 ± 311.2)mL,(11.2 ±3.1)d,which were significantly lower than (201.6 ±33.6)min,(315.2 ±41.3)mL,(1 928.3 ± 346.1)mL,(17.6 ±3.6)d in the control group (t=3.627,4.662,2.716,3.772,all P0.05).After treatment for 3 days,FEV1 of the control group and observation group were (1.89 ±0.47)L,(2.18 ±0.42)L;FVC were (2.44 ± 0.31)L,(2.87 ±0.25)L.PEF were (4.01 ±0.26)L/s,(4.52 ±0.29)L/s.After treatment for 3 days,FEV1,FVC and PEF in the control group were significantly decreased (t=4.162,3.997,5.012,all P0.05), 3 days after treatment,PEF of the observation group was significantly decreased (t=3.128,P<0.05).After treat-ment for 3 days,FEV1 ,FVC and PEF of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (t=5.186,3.017,3.112,P<0.05).Before surgery,scores of life quality in the control group and observation group were (5.41 ±1.83)points and (5.31 ±1.77)points.After surgery were (7.01 ±2.16)points and (8.35 ±2.27) points.Quality of life in two groups were improved after operation .Life quality of the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (t=2.864 4,P<0.05).Conclusion Ivor-Lewis surgical procedures can significantly improve lung function and quality of life in elderly patients with esophageal cancer .
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine fumigation in treating ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Sixty patients were divided into fumigation group (30 cases) and non-fumigation group (30 cases), the treatment course was 20 days. The changes of finger pitch, pillow away from the wall, hip flexion, hip extension of the patients and the impact of fumigation on acute inflammation (ESR, CRP) were observed. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine serum TNF-? and IL-10 before and after treatment to observe the effect of fumigation treatment on inflammatory cytokine expression. Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 90.0% and control group was 83.3%. The efficiency rate of the treatment group was 66.6% and control group was 33.3%. After treatment, finger pitch, pillow away from the wall, hip flexion, hip extension of the treatment group were better than before treatment, the difference was significant. ESR, CRP and TNF-?, IL-10 of the treatment group were significantly decreased compared with the control group (P
