目的 探讨改良单图像法手工测量髌骨不稳患者胫骨结节-股骨滑车沟（tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove，TT-TG）间距的可行性。 方法 选取髌骨不稳患者30例。高年资手术医师A、B，使用改良单图像法手工测量髌骨不稳患者TT-TG间距，对比高资年影像学医师C，使用双图法测量髌骨不稳患者TT-TG间距。应用Cronbach′s alpha系数评价结果的可信度。应用组内相关系数（intraclass correlation coefficient，ICC）评价结果的可重复性。使用Bland-Altman分析图评价结果的一致性。 结果 高年资手术医师A、B使用改良单图像法手工测量髌骨不稳患者TT-TG间距分别和高年资影像学医师C使用双图法测量髌骨不稳患者TT-TG间距比较，Cronbach′s alpha系数分别为0.913和0.959，组内相关系数分别为0.913和0.958。Bland-Altman分析图显示，TT-TG间距差值（mm）的均值为-0.276（95%CI：-3.526~2.974）和0.143（95%CI：-3.110~3.397）。A、B医师之间使用改良单图像法手工测量髌骨不稳患者TT-TG间距比较，Cronbach′s alpha系数为0.891，组内相关系数为0.891。Bland-Altman分析图显示TT-TG间距差值（mm）的均值为-0.276（95%CI：-3.526~2.974）。 结论 改良单图像法手工测量髌骨不稳患者TT-TG间距操作简单，可以准确测量出髌骨不稳患者的TT-TG间距，该方法和双图法可以相互替换使用。     

延续护理在2型糖尿病患者中的应用效果及并发症发生率影响观察

目的:研究对2型糖尿病患者实施延续护理的效果。方法:选取2018年1月~2018年12月在某院治疗后出院的2型糖尿病患者120例展开研究,按护理施差异分为两组,对照组常规护理,观察组在常规护理基础上实施延续护理,对比分析护理效果、护理后并发症发生率以及生活质量改善情况。结果:经护理后观察组血糖各指标均明显低于对照组(P<0.05);观察组发生率21.6%,对照组发生率41.6%(P<0.05);护理后观察组生活质量各项评分均明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:对2型糖尿病患者实施延续护理效果显著,值得推广。     

TAS-102 has a tumoricidal activity in multiple myeloma

TAS-102/Lonsurf is a new oral anti-tumor drug consisting of trifluridine and tipiracil in a 1:0.5 molar ratio. Lonsurf has been approved globally, including US, Europe Union, and China, to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Ongoing clinical trials are currently conducted for the treatment of other solid cancers. However, the therapeutic potential of TAS-102 in hematological malignancies has not been explored. In this study, we investigate the therapeutic efficacy of TAS-102 in multiple myeloma both in vitro and in vivo. We demonstrate that TAS-102 treatment inhibits tumor cell proliferation in six human myeloma cell lines with IC₅₀ values in a range from 0.64 to 9.10 μM. Dot blotting and immunofluorescent staining show that trifluridine is predominately incorporated into genomic DNAs of myeloma cells. TAS-102 treatment induces myeloma cell apoptosis through cell cycle arrest in G1 phase and activation of cGAS-STING signaling in myeloma cells. In the human myeloma xenograft models, TAS-102 treatment reduces tumor progression and prolongs mouse survival. TAS-102 has shown its efficacies in the drug-resistant myeloma cells, and the combination of TAS-102 and bortezomib has a synergistic anti-myeloma activity. Our preclinical studies indicate that TAS-102 is a potential novel agent for myeloma therapy.     

基于“同气相求”理论的激痛点疗法治疗顽固性偏头痛15例

笔者基于"同气相求"理论,遵循经络辨证,以"求同气、通经络"为治则,针刺患侧或双侧手足少阳经远端激痛点及井穴,同时按揉近端激痛点,治疗顽固性偏头痛15例,现报道如下。1临床资料15例患者均为2018年1月至2018年6月包头医学院第二附属医院针灸科门诊就诊的顽固性偏头痛患者,其中男6例,女9例;单侧头痛9例,双侧6例;年龄15~65岁,平均46岁;病程0.5~15年,平均2年。均表现为单侧或双侧颞部反复发作的搏动性疼痛,伴失眠、健忘,痛甚者恶心,行头颅CT或MRI检查未见异常。     

水提取法和仿生提取法研究菲牛蛭不同炮制品的体外抗凝活性

目的:采取不同的提取方法研究菲牛蛭炮制前后抗凝活性变化。方法:分别采用水提取法及模拟胃肠道环境的仿生提取法提取菲牛蛭活体冻干品、清水吊干品、滑石粉烫制品、酒浸闷烘品中的活性成分,测定活化部分凝血酶时间(APTT)、凝血酶原时间(PT)、凝血酶时间(TT)、抗凝血酶活性4个凝血指标,并采用Lorry法测定其蛋白含量,综合评价2种提取方法下的菲牛蛭及其炮制品的抗凝活性。结果:无论是水提取法,还是仿生提取法,APTT、PT、TT均显示炮制后抗凝活性降低,抗凝活性顺序为活体冻干品>清水吊干品>酒浸闷烘品>滑石粉烫制品,此结果与抗凝血酶活性及蛋白含量顺序一致。结论:高温炮制方法会降低菲牛蛭的抗凝活性。     

Dysregulation in nucleic acid‐sensing pathway genes is associated with cancer patients’ prognosis

The innate immune system, the first line of defense against pathogens, is activated by nucleic acids from microbial invaders that are recognized by nucleic acid‐sensing receptors. Recent evidence affirms the ability of these receptors to respond to nucleic acids released by damaged cancer cells. The innate immune system is also involved in cancer immunosurveillance, and could be modulated for devising effective antitumor therapies by targeting nucleic acid‐sensing pathways. A systematic, comprehensive analysis of dysregulation in nucleic acid‐sensing pathways in cancer is required to fully understand its role. Based on multidimensional data of The Cancer Genome Atlas pan‐cancer cohort, we revealed that upregulation of cytosolic DNA‐sensing genes like AIM2 and CGAS was common in tumor tissues. We used 15 genes in the nucleic acid‐sensing pathway to cluster all tumor patients into 2 subgroups and found that the subgroup with higher expression of nucleic acid‐sensing pathway genes was associated with poorer prognosis across cancer types. However, in homologous recombination deficient patients, the nucleic acid recognition activated subgroup was associated with better prognosis, which confirms the therapeutic effect of nucleic acid recognition. This study contributes to a better understanding of the functions and mechanisms of nucleic acid recognition in cancer, lays the foundation for new therapeutic strategies, and enlarges the scope of development of new drugs.
