Discussion on Formation and Intervention of the Tumor Microenvironment Based on the Theory of “Where There is Mass Hardness， There must be Latent Yang” / 中医杂志

As the environmental foundation for tumor survival，the tumor microenvironment is characterized by immunosuppression， ischemia and hypoxia， metabolic reprogramming， and inflammatory infiltration， providing conditions for tumor cell colonization， malignant transformation and migration. In traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， yang qi is considered to be closely related to the onset of tumors. Based on the TCM theory of “where there is mass hardness， there must be latent yang”， this paper suggests that the state of “latent yang” formed by abnormal yang energy is highly similar to the tumor microenvironment. The loss of protection of latent yang leads to the weakening of positive immunity， invasion of disease and then accumulation of tumors. The constraint of latent yang leads to microcirculation disorders， blocked vessels and collaterals， and finally qi and blood blockage. The turbidity of latent yang leads to abnormal metabolic products gathering， pathogenic turbidity accumulation， and tumor formulation through contention and binding between them. The transformation of fire by latent yang mediates “inflammation-cancer” transformation， and leads to malignant transformation of cancerous tumors. The transformation of latent yang into toxin leads to premeditated pre-metastatic niches， healthy qi deficiency and toxin accumulation， and cancerous toxins flow. Based on the theory of “latent yang” and modern researches， this paper summarized the method of “warming yang and invigorating qi to consolidate the root， promoting yang and moving qi to eliminate stasis， strengthening yang capacity of transforming qi to remove the disadvantages， diffusing yang and opening up constraint to disperse fire， and reinforcing healthy qi and clearing the source to prevent toxins” in the intervention of the tumor microenvironment， so as to provide ideas for TCM to reshape the tumor microenvironment and regulate the tumor process.

Value of systematic education for primiparas undergoing epidural labor analgesia / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective:To evaluate the value of systematic education for primiparas undergoing epidural labor analgesia.Methods:A total of 240 primiparas who were suitable and voluntarily requested epidural labor analgesia, aged 20-35 yr, at 37-41 + 6 weeks gestation, with a singleton fetus, in vertex presentation without fetal abnormality, were selected.According to whether the primiparas and their accompanying family members had received systematic education on epidural labor analgesia during pregnancy, the primiparas were divided into 2 groups ( n=120 each): education group and control group.When the uterine contraction was regular and the diameter of the uterine orifice reached 2 cm or more, epidural labor analgesia was carried out.Before the begining of epidural puncture, the degree of anxiety of pregnant women was evaluated using the self-rating anxiety scale.The time of communication before analgesia, time of placing body position, and satisfaction of puerperae and their family members with labor analgesia were observed and recorded. Results:Compared with control group, the self-rating anxiety scale score was significantly decreased, the time of communication before analgesia and time of placing body position were shortened, and the rate of satisfaction of puerperae and their family members with labor analgesia was increased in education group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Systematic education is helpful in relieving the anxiety of primiparas during epidural labor analgesia, increasing the efficiency of analgesia implementation and improving the delivery experience of puerperae.

Discussion on the standard of clinical genetic testing report and the consensus of gene testing industry / 中华医学遗传学杂志

The widespread application of next generation sequencing (NGS) in clinical settings has enabled testing, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of genetic diseases. However, many issues have arisen in the meanwhile. One of the most pressing issues is the lack of standards for reporting genetic test results across different service providers. The First Forum on Standards and Specifications for Clinical Genetic Testing was held to address the issue in Shenzhen, China, on October 28, 2017. Participants, including geneticists, clinicians, and representatives of genetic testing service providers, discussed problems of clinical genetic testing services across in China and shared opinions on principles, challenges, and standards for reporting clinical genetic test results. Here we summarize expert opinions presented at the seminar and report the consensus, which will serve as a basis for the development of standards and guidelines for reporting of clinical genetic testing results, in order to promote the standardization and regulation of genetic testing services in China.

Technique of arteriovenous fistula operation of thin blood vessel and observation before and after operation / 中国医师进修杂志

Objective To study the success experience of native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) operation,and provide a new reference range of blood vessel diameter for evaluating the success rate of AVF operation before surgery.Methods To proceed AVF operation to patients with 5 phase of chronic kidney disease,before surgery,patients should receive the vascular ultrasound and cardiac ultrasound to record the diameter of radio artery and cephalic vein along with the radio artery blood flow.Patients were divided into two groups:observation group(cephalic vein diameter< 2 mm)and control group(cephalic vein diameter > 2.0 mm). All those indexes examined before were re-examined 1 month after surgery. Except vessel diameter, the AVF blood flow velocity was also recorded. The range of the mature period was measured, along with the blood flow of each AVF 1 month after its initial use. The blood vessel diameter before surgery,the mature period of AVF and the blood flow on the machine of dialysis 1 month after the initial use were measured to evaluate the operation results of each group. Results In the observation group, 23 of the 25 patients showed the optimistic results. Unfortunately, 1 of the 2 pessimistic results showed the absence of vascular murmur,and the other one died of natural death before its initial use.The mature period of AVF for hemodialysis was(47.29 ± 2.45)d,significantly longer than that of control group (36.00 ± 1.29) d, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). The blood flow of observation group showed no significant difference compared to that of control group (P > 0.05). Conclusions The patients with cephalic vein diameter<2.0 mm before operation needs a long mature period,but the blood flow after dialysis is not affected,and a good success rate is obtained.

Application of rotational DSA dual volume technology in the displaying of intracranial artery stent and its effective analysis / 实用放射学杂志

Objective To investigate the implementation and application of rotational DSA dual volume technology in displaying the intracranial artery stent.Methods Firstly,the “stent opacity”single volume technology was used to display 5 types of stent which were released in 7 cases of pure intracranial artery stenting and 12 cases of stent-assisted aneurysm embolization.Then we applied “vessel translucent”and “vessel opacity”single volume technology to display corresponding vessel segments.Finally,by coalescing the single volume imaging of stent and vessel,the “vessel opacity + stent opacity”dual volume image and “vessel translucent+ stent opacity”dual volume image were performed.We compared the effects of two kinds of dual volume imaging and assessed the imaging characteristics and influencing factors of each method.Results (1)On the “stent opacity”single volume display mode,in 7 cases of pure intracranial artery stenting,the display effect of two Pipeline stents and three Apollo stents belongs to level 1,the display effect of two Enterprise stents belongs to level 2;In 12 cases of stent-assisted aneurysm embolization,in the stent segments which weren’t influenced by artifacts,the display effect of two LEVIS stents belongs to level 1,the display effects of 5 Enterprise stents and 2 Solitaire AB stents belongs to level 2;While in the stent segments which were influenced by the artifact of spring coil and bone,the display effect significantly reduced, three pieces of Enterprise stents were even unable to identify.(2)On the “vessel opacity”single volume display mode,1 9 cases of vessel segment at the stent completed opacity display.The surface structure of vessel was very clear,but the structure under the surface was completely being covered.On the “vessel translucent”single volume display mode,the surface structure of 19 cases of vessel segment at the stent displayed clear at the tangential position.The vessel lumen also presented transparent state.(3)On the “stent opacity+vessels opacity”double volume display mode,the start-stop location and the adherence of stents in blood vessels in 1 6 cases were displayed clearly. When using the “stent opacity+ vascular opacity”double volume imaging,except 3 cases which used ball expansion Apollo stents could display comprehensive relationship between the blood vessels,in the other 13 cases,the relationship between stent and vascular could not be fully displayed.Conclusion On the condition that the single volume display technology shows stent well,the “stent opaque+vessels translucent”double volume display technology can well present the stent condition in the vessels.

Effects of recasting on the composition and microstructure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloy / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND: Whether ceramic alloy can be reused after casting depends on its chemical composition, microstructure, castability, as well as mechanical property. However, the effects of recasting on the composition and microstructure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of recasting on the composition and microstructure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro materials observation. The experiment was performed at the Department of Prosthodontics, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Fujian Medical University, Instrumentation Analysis and Measurement Center, Fuzhou University, from June to August 2007. MATERIALS: The Ni-Cr ceramic alloys were recast 6 times in argon protection to obtain testing sample with diameter of 30.0 mm, thickness of 1.0 mm and side length of 10.0 mm, thickness of 1.0 mm, namely generation I VI. Simultaneously, the sample produced by initial alloy was called generation 0. METHODS: The original alloy and each generation square plates were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for qualitative and semi-quantitative analysis. The microstructure and the phase structure of original alloy and each generation castings which had been polished by buffing machine were observed and analyzed by metallographic microscope and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Contents of chemical composition, shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion, and distribution of XRD patterns. RESULTS: The results of XRF indicated that there were no significant difference on the main composition (Ni, Cr, Mo, Al, Be) among the Ni-Cr ceramic alloys multiple recast 0-6 times in argon protection and accorded with the demands. The metallographic structure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys were dendritic eutectic structure, but the size of dendritic crystal grain in the casting coarsening, shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion gradually increased, with the increase of multiple recast times. The phase structure of Ni-Cr ceramic alloys were Ni-base solid solution (face-centered cubic lattice structure) and the chromium was widely distributed in the nickel base. There were neither significant difference of phase structure nor the new phase structure appeared among the Ni-Cr ceramic alloys multiple recast 0-6 times. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference of main composition and phase structure between original alloy and each generation castings in argon protection. With the increase of recast times, the size of dendritic crystal coarsening, shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion gradually increased.
