ABSTRACT

Patients with severe tumors do not refer to the patients with end-stage tumors,but rather to the patients with a performance status(PS)score between 2 and 4 in certain stages due to various reasons,such as acute or chronic comorbidities,tumor itself,or treatment-related adverse events.To these patients,there is a high probability of achieving survival benefit and/or improvement in PS scores after synergistic management of available life-support technologies and anti-tumor therapies based on dynamic and precise testing.Elderly patients with tumors frequently present with one or more chronic illnesses and have poor toler-ance and compliance to treatment.Moreover,their treatment regimens often lack high-quality clinical evidence,making them more susceptible to developing severe tumors.The management of severe tumors in the elderly is based on three basic diagnosis and treatment technologies:dynamic and precise detection,powerful life support technologies,and skillful application of current anti-tumor treatments.In specific clinical practice,the following 7 flexible and individualized treatment strategies should be adopted for different tumor types:1.concurrent management of cancer and comorbidities,2.upgrading and downgrading of anti-tumor drugs based on PS score,3.dynamic accurate detection,4.skillful combinations for increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity,5.complete overview,paying equal attention to systemic therapy and local therapy,6.safety first in medication for the elderly,7.multi-discipli-nary participation,individualized and comprehensive treatment.This article introduced the concept of severe tumors in the elderly and the associated management strategies,to increase awareness and provide feasible guidance for clinical practice.

ABSTRACT

Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors and PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy combination regimens have been widely used in the first-line treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), but patients with low PD-L1 expression have limited objective response and survival benefits. Existing treatment regimens are still difficult to fully meet the clinical needs of patients in the real world. Therefore, researchers are still exploring novel superactive treatment options to further improve the efficacy and survival prognosis of different sub-groups in NSCLC. Dual immunotherapy [such as the combination of PD-1 and cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors] has shown considerable long-term survival benefits in a variety of tumors and has also shown broad clinical prospects in NSCLC. In addition to exploring different emerging combination options, how to accurately identify the optimal-benefit groups through predictive biomarkers and how to effectively manage the safety of combination immunotherapy through multidisciplinary collaboration are also the focus of dual immunotherapy. This article reviews the mechanism of action, research progress, predictive biomarkers and future exploration directions of dual immunotherapy.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effects of lengths of intramedullary nails on the treatment efficacy of osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed were the data of patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 2017 to December 2019. According to the lengths of intramedullary nails, the patients were divided into 2 groups. In the short nail group of 135 cases, there were 38 males and 97 females with an age of (82.2 ± 7.7) years and an intramedullary nail with a length of 170 mm was used. In the long nail group of 32 cases, there were 8 males and 24 females with an age of (81.5±7.1) years and an intramedullary nail longer than 300 mm was used. The amount of intraoperative hemoglobin drop value, operation time, Harris hip score at 6 months after surgery, incidence of complications and mortality were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, indicating comparability between groups ( P>0.05). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in intraoperative hemoglobin drop value [(19.8±2.2) g/L versus (20.0±2.1) g/L], Harris hip score (72.0±3.0 versus 71.2±3.6), incidence of complications [3.0% (4/135) versus 6.2 (2/32)] or mortality [14.3% (19/135) versus 15.6% (5/32)] ( P>0.05). The long nail group needed significantly longer operation time than the short nail group [(84.6±5.6) min versus (92.0±7.2) min] ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the treatment of osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture, short and long intramedullary nails show no significant difference in hemoglobin drop value, functional score, complications or mortality, indicating they can both lead to safe and reliable curative efficacy. However, long nails need longer operation time.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the influence of comprehensive rehabilitation on postoperative functions in the elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:From June 2015 to June 2019, 144 elderly patients were treated at Department of Orthopedics, China-Japan Friendship Hospital for femoral intertrochanteric fractures by internal fixation with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA). Of them, 65 received comprehensive rehabilitation, including intervention measures for details, prevention and management of comorbidities and complications and active exercise of the injured limb, while 79 conventional rehabilitation. In the comprehensive rehabilitation group, there were 22 males and 43 females with an age of (76.6±6.7) years, and 18 cases of type 31-A1, 35 cases of type 31-A2 and 12 cases of type 31-A3 by the AO type. In the control group, there were 23 males and 56 females with an age of (75.2±7.0) years, and 25 cases of type 31-A1, 39 cases of type 31-A2 and 15 cases of type 31-A3 by the AO type. The 2 groups were compared in terms of visual analog scale (VAS), Harris hip score, Barthel index, postoperative ambulation time and complications at 6 months after operation.Results:The 2 groups were comparable because there was no significant difference between them in the preoperative or intraoperative general data ( P>0.05). The comprehensive rehabilitation group had a significantly lower VAS score (1.5±1.0), a significantly higher Harris hip score(83.9±5.4), a significantly higher Barthel index (81.6±5.4), significantly shorter postoperative ambulation time [(2.6±1.0) d], and a significantly lower incidence of complications [4.6% (3/65)] than the control group did [1.9±1.2, 80.2±7.9, 78.2±7.9, (3.2±1.4) d, 16.5%(13/79), respectively] (all P< 0.05). Conclusion:For elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture, comprehensive rehabilitation can significantly reduce complications, promote functional recovery of the hip, and speed up recovery of capabilities of daily living compared with conventional rehabilitation.

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To evaluate the effectiveness of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanomedicine in suppressing corneal neovascularization (CNV) in vivo.@*Methods@#ROS-responsive nanomedicine (ROS-TK-5/siVEGF), which consists of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) small interfering RNA (siRNA) and thioketal linkage was synthesized by the Michael addition.The cumulative release of siVEGF from nanomedicine under oxidant conditions was assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis.Thirty-nine VEGFR2-luc-KI transgenic mice were used in this study, of which 30 mice were randomly divided into a normal control group, a PBS control group, an ROS-TK-5/NC group, an ROS-TK-5/siVEGF group, and a ranibizumab group, with 6 mice in each group.The ROS levels in the corneal tissue after alkali burning were tested by dihydroethidium (DHE) staining in the other 9 mice.In each group, alkali-burned mice were subconjunctivally injected with 10 μl of a different formula every two days.The effectiveness of nanomedicine in attenuating CNV was evaluated by slit-lamp microscopy and an in vivo imaging system (IVIS) at 7, 14, and 21 days after alkali burning. The use and care of the animals complied with the Statement of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) and the Guidelines of the Animal Experimental Committee of Liberation Army General Hospital.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Liberation Army General Hospital (No.2018-X14-82).@*Results@#After treathrent with an aqueous solution without ROS, only 5%-10% of the siVEGF was released from the nanoparticles within 10 hours.In contrast, about 70% of the siVEGF was released from the nanoparticles after treatment with 10 mmol/L H2O2 within 10 hours.The relative fluorescent intensities in the corneal stromal layer at 7 days and 14 days after alkali burning were 5.403±0.306 and 2.930±0.255, respectively, which was significantly greater than those in the normal control group (1.003±0.015) (both at P<0.05). The CNV areas were statistically different among the four groups at various time points (Fgroup=49.855, P<0.01; Ftime=65.556, P<0.01). The CNV area was significantly reduced in the ROS-TK-5/siVEGF and ranibizumab groups compared with the PBS control and ROS-TK-5/NC groups at 7 days and 14 days after modeling, and the CNV area was more effectively reduced in the ROS-TK-5/siVEGF group than the ranibizumab group at 7 days and 14 days after modeling (all at P<0.05). At day 21 after modeling, the CNV area was significantly reduced in the ROS-TK-5/siVEGF and ranibizumab groups compared to the PBS control and ROS-TK-5/NC groups (all at P<0.05). IVIS showed that the corneal fluorescent intensity was statistically different among the four groups at various times (Fgroup=27.193, P=0.003; Ftime=51.062, P<0.01). The corneal fluorescent intensities were significantly reduced in the ROS-TK-5/siVEGF and ranibizumab groups compared to the PBS control and ROS-TK-5/NC groups at 7 days and 14 days after modeling; in addition, the corneal fluorescent intensity was more effectively reduced in the ROS-TK-5/siVEGF group in comparison with the ranibizumab group at 7 days and 14 days after modeling (all at P<0.05). At 21 days after modeling, the corneal fluorescent intensity was significantly reduced in the ROS-TK-5/siVEGF and ranibizumab groups compared to the PBS control and ROS-TK-5/NC groups (all at P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#ROS-TK-5/siVEGF nanomedicine effectively attenuates alkali burn-induced CNV formation and appears to have a better effect in comparison with ranibizumab at an early stage.

ABSTRACT

The Notch signaling pathway plays an important role in cell fate and homeostasis.Various studies have proved that the Notch signaling pathway has strong effects on corneal wound healing and the maintenance of corneal homeostasis.Limbal stem cells inhibit differentiation and proliferation by inhibiting the Notch signaling pathway.Physiologic downregulation promotes cell migration and wound coverage in the early stage of corneal epithelial repair, and physiologic upregulation in the late stage of corneal epithelial repair is related to preventing excessive stratification of corneal epithelial cells and maintaining cell differentiation.Fibrosis is correlated with Notch after corneal stromal injury.The Notch signaling pathway is directly involved in the endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition induced by transforming growth factor-β after corneal endothelial injury.In addition, there are interactions between the Notch signaling pathway and 14-3-3 sigma, epidermal growth factor receptor, Sirt6, microRNA, and matrix metalloproteinases in maintaining corneal epithelial homeostasis, corneal epithelial differentiation, corneal stromal excessive inflammatory response, corneal neovascularization, etc.This review summarizes the function of the Notch signaling pathway in corneal wound healing.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the incidence and morphology of the posterolateral fracture fragment affecting the fibular notch in posterior pilon fracture.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted of the CT and clinical data of the 31 patients with posterior pilon fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic, China-Japan Friendship Hospital from May 2013 to May 2018. They were 17 men and 14 women, aged from 20 to 68 years (average, 42 years). The injury affected the left side in 13 cases and the right side in 18 ones. The incidence of the posterolateral fracture fragments affecting the fibular notch was counted. The morphologic indexes of the fragments were measured like axial angle of their fracture line, fragment area, fragment height, and sagittal angle of their fracture line.Results:A posterolateral fracture fragment affecting the fibular notch was found in all the 31 posterior pilon fractures, giving an incidence of 100% in the posterior pilon fracture. The fracture line of the fragments tended to be in the coronal plane. The axial angle of the fracture line was 20.25°±9.48°; the ratio of the fragment area to the distal tibial articular area was 15.78%±6.75%; the fragment height was 36.59 mm ± 10.70 mm; the sagittal angle of the fracture line was 18.37°±5.45°.Conclusions:A posterolateral fracture fragment affecting the fibular notch can be found in all the posterior pilon fractures. It does not affect a large articular area and its fracture line is usually located in the coronal plane. These data may help choose appropriate surgical approach and internal fixation.

ABSTRACT

Licorice is one of the most frequently used Chinese herbs, mainly containing triterpenoids and flavonoids. Three original plants, Glycyrrhiza glabra L., Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch., and Glycyrrhiza inflata Bat., are defined as licorice in Chinese pharmacopeia. In this study, 40 G. uralensis samples [Group A], 60 G. glabra samples [Group B, C and D] and 40 G. inflata samples [Group E and F], were used as plant materials, the genetic diversity of samples were determined by gene sequencing technology and the chemotypic diversity were detected by HPLC. The chemotypic diversity analysis showed that contents of triterpenoids in G. glabra [isoglycyrrhizin: 2.483 +/- 0.0671 mg·g-1, glycyrrhizin: 34.660 +/- 0.8591 mg·g-1] were obviously higher than that in G. uralensis and G. inflata. However, the contents of flavonoids [liquiritin: 21.996 +/- 0.6396 mg·g-1, isoliquiritin: 4.556 +/- 0.1252 mg.g-1, liquiritigenin: 0.623 +/- 0.0200 mg·g-1, isoliquiritigenin: 0.281 +/- 0.008 mg·g-1] in G. uralensis were higher than that in G. glabra and G. inflata. And contents of triterpenoids and flavonoids were both lowest in G. inflata. The genetic diversity analysis showed that the psbA-trnH intergenic regions on chloroplast DNA sequences were same in the same species, and significantly different between any two species. These findings will lay a solid foundation for the identification and quality control of licorice. Furthermore, recently the activity of isoglycyrrhizin has attracted more and more attentions and researches. The HPLC method established in this paper for the simultaneous assay of isoglycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizin will be helpful for the screening of superior quality licorice with a high content of isoglycyrrhizin

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with periprosthetic femoral fracture following hemiarthroplasty (HA) for displaced femoral neck fracture in aged patients.Methods From January 2013 to June 2016,120 patients over 80 years old were treated by HA for displaced femoral neck fractures.They were 45 males and 75 females,with an average age of 85.2 years (from 80 to 97 years).Their fractures were Garden type Ⅲ (72 cases) and Garden type Ⅳ (48 cases).The time from injury to operation averaged 5.1 days.The patients were divided into a fracture group and a non-fracture group according to the presence or absence of the periprosthetic fracture.The general data of the 2 groups were compared;multivariate logistic regression analyses were done to indentify the influencing factors associated with periprosthetic femoral fracture.Results The 120 patients obtained a mean follow-up of 26.1 months (from 13 to 48 months).Periprosthetic femoral fracture occurred in 11 cases,giving an overall incidence of 9.2% (11/120).Compared with the non-fracture group,the average age was significantly older,the incidence of past fractures was significantly higher,significantly more types of uncemented stem were used,and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading was significantly more severe for the fracture group (P < 0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups concerning the general data (P > 0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analyses revealed that age [OR =1.268,95% CI (1.059,1.517),P =0.010] and type ofuncemented stem [OR =0.072,95% CI (0.008,0.625),P =0.017] were independent risk factors for periprosthetic fracture.Conclusions The incidence of periprosthetic femoral fracture in the elderly patients may be high following HA for femoral neck fractures.Since age and uncemented stem may be independent risk factors for periprosthetic femoral fracture,surgeons should pay enough attention to them in clinic.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:J2 takes functional domain (MHC CD4-D1/) of complex conjugate of CD4 molecule and MHC class II molecule as a target, and is a smal molecule compound obtained by computer screening from a chemical data containing hundreds of thousands of organic compounds. In the previous study, J2 was used in mouse models of skin transplantation and keratoplasty by oral and intraperitoneal injection. Results verified that J2 could prolong the survival time of grafts, and suppress occurrence of rejection. To better play the role of a drug targeting and to reduce systemic toxicity, J2 wil be further utilized in local treatment of keratoplasty rejection. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibitory effect of new immunosuppressive agent J2 on CD4+ and CD8+T cel immune functions in rat models receiving alogenic penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS:Alogeneic penetrating keratoplasty model was established using the adult female Wistar rats as donors and Sprague-Dawley rats as recipients. Group A: normal Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with 0.05 mL placebo subconjunctivaly. Surgery rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group B: alograft rats were injected with 0.05 mL placebo subconjunctivaly after autologous keratoplasty. Group C: alograft rats were injected with 0.05 mL placebo subconjunctivaly. Group D: alograft rats were injected with 1% J2-nanosuspension 0.05 mL subconjunctivaly. The distribution of T cel subsets in peripheral blood was detected using flow cytometry at 3 days, 1, 2 and 3 weeks after transplantation and compared among groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in total CD3+ T cels, CD4+ T cels, CD8+ T cels and CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood lymphocytes in group B at various time points. At 3 days and 1 week after surgery in group C, no significant difference in total CD3+ T cels, CD4+ T cels and CD8+ T cels was detected. At 1 and 2 weeks, the number of total CD3+ T cels, CD4+ T cels and CD8+ T cels increased, showing significant differences (P < 0.05). In group D, no significant hyperplasy was found in CD4+ T cels and CD8+ T cels at 1 and 2 weeks. The horizontal comparison of the same time point: the total CD3+ T lymphocytes of group D was significantly less than group C at 3 days, 1 and 2 weeks after operation (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference at 3 weeks between the group D and group C. The number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in group D was less than in group C at 3 days and 1 week, but with no significant difference. The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ had no significant difference in group D compared with group C at 3 days, 1 and 3 weeks. J2 inhibits T lymphocyte proliferation and then inhibits T cel-mediated corneal alograft rejection.

ABSTRACT

Objective To value the clinical efficacy and toxicity of S-1 compared to gemcitabine combined with S-1 in treatment of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods From January 2011 to December 2013,the data of 46 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer were analyzed retrospectively,including 24 patients receiving S-1 alone (group A) and 22 patients who received gemcitabine combined with S-1 (group B).The results were evaluated by objective response rate (ORR),disease control rate (DCR),survival time and safety.Results In group A the ORR was 20.8 % (5/24),DCR was 66.7 % (16/24),median progression-free survival was 4.8 months,median overall survival was 9.6 months,and 1 year survival was 12.5 %.In group B the ORR was 27.3 % (6/22),DCR was 72.7 % (16/22),median progression-free survival was 5.9 months,median overall survival was 10.3 months,and 1 year survival was 22.7 %.There was no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).The incidence rates of leukopenia,neutropenia and thrombopenia in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (P < 0.05).Conclusion S-1 alone and gemcitabine combined with S-1 have similar effects in the treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer,but the toxicity of S-1 is mild and tolerable.

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationships among free triiodothyronine( FT3 ), free thyroxine (FT4 ), and thyroid-stimulating hormone( TSH) in both plasma and breast milk of patients with thyroid diseases. Methods A total of 102 female subjects with hyperthyroidism(GD), normal thyroid function(NC), and Hashimoto′s hypothyroidism(HT or hypothyroidism)were enrolled. Their plasma and breast milk were collected for measurement of FT3 and FT4 , and TSH. Meanwhile, 11 infants of patients with hyperthyroidism and another 11 infants of patients with hypothyroidism were selected, blood FT3 , FT4 , and TSH content were determined during lactating period and 2 months after lactation. Results (1) FT3 and FT4 contents in breast milk among 3 groups were different[(1. 48 ± 0. 81), (7. 79 ± 3. 56), and (0. 77 ± 0. 42)pg/ ml; (2. 94 ± 1. 43), (14. 78 ± 7. 40), and (1. 51 ± 0. 40)pg/ ml, P0. 05). (2) FT3 ratio of breast milk to plasma of the hyperthyroidism group was different to other 2 groups(0. 42 ± 0. 04 vs 0. 35 ± 0. 03, 0. 36 ± 0. 03, P0. 05). (3)Blood FT3 , FT4 , and TSH contents from infants of patients with hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism were different, both during lactating period and 2 months after lactation[(5. 06 ± 1. 76)vs (6. 51 ± 2. 23)pg/ ml, (17. 39 ± 2. 78)vs (19. 87 ± 3. 26)pg/ ml, (1. 34 ± 1. 33)vs (0. 74 ± 0. 78)mIU/ L; (1. 43 ± 0. 74)vs (1. 83 ± 0. 91)pg/ ml, (4. 28 ± 1. 55)vs (5. 00 ± 1. 75)pg/ ml, (6. 48 ± 2. 70) vs (5. 49 ± 2. 39) mIU/ L; all P<0. 05]. (4) FT3 and FT4 contents were positively correlated in plasma and breast milk(all P<0. 05), while TSH contents were positively correlated only in hypothyroidism group(P<0. 05). Conclusion FT3 , FT4 , and TSH in blood and breast milk are correlated.

ABSTRACT

Licorice is a common herb which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries. More than 20 triterpenoids and nearly 300 flavonoids have been isolated from licorice. Recent studies have shown that these metabolites possess many pharmacological activities, such as antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor and other activities. This paper provides a summary of the antiviral and antimicrobial activities of licorice. The active components and the possible mechanisms for these activities are summarized in detail. This review will be helpful for the further studies of licorice for its potential therapeutic effects as an antiviral or an antimicrobial agent.

ABSTRACT

Aphosphorbasedonsilicananoparticleswaspreparedusingasol-gelmethod.Thecontrollable synthesis, spectroscopic properties, cytotoxicity and cell imaging of these nanomatericals were examined by using photoluminescence spectra, TEM, XRD, confocal microscopy and other characterized measurements. The results demonstrated that the obtained sample was silica with diameter about 50 nm. The maximum fluorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the silica nanomatericals were 280 nm and 335 nm, and the maximum phosphorescence excitation and emission wavelengths of the silica nanomatericals were 280 nm and 440 nm. The obtained silica sample possessed room temperature phosphorescence that was stable against environmental changes. The obtained sample was stored in air at ambient conditions and its phosphorescence remained unchanged after 3 month demonstrated its long-term stability. The result of methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium ( MTT) and cell imaging experiments suggested that the synthesized silica nanoparticles were feeble cytotoxicity and could be uptaken by cells at the lysosomal compartment. Therefore these nanoparticles could serve as bioprobes for cell imaging.
