嘌呤能受体X1与肺腺癌预后及免疫细胞浸润的相关性研究

目的：探索嘌呤能受体X1(purinergic receptor，P2RX1)与肺腺癌(LUAD)患者预后及免疫细胞浸润的相关性。方法：利用生物信息学技术分析非小细胞肺癌中P2RX1的表达及其甲基化与患者预后的关系，对P2RX1共表达基因进行富集分析并筛选核心基因。利用TIMER 2.0数据库、R软件等分析P2RX1与免疫细胞、免疫检查点、免疫基质评分等的相关性。结果：P2RX1在LUAD中表达下调，低表达P2RX1的患者预后较差(P<0.05)，且P2RX1与肿瘤纯度、分期等临床病理因素有关(P<0.05)。P2RX1的表达与肺鳞癌患者预后无明显相关。Cg06475633等P2RX1 CpG位点甲基化与患者预后相关。P2RX1共表达基因主要富集于免疫细胞活化、分化等通路和生物学进程，核心基因主要包括BTK、IKZF1等。P2RX1的表达与B细胞浸润、免疫/基质评分、PD-1、CTLA-4等多个免疫检查点显著相关(P<0.05)。结论：P2RX1有望成为LUAD诊断和免疫治疗的新靶点。     

Clinicopathologic significance of LAIR-1 expression in hepatocellular carcinoma

Aim

Leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) is an immune inhibitory receptor which is expressed within most types of hematopoietic cells and negatively regulates immune responses. Recently, we found LAIR-1 expression to be present within tumors of nonhematopoietic lineages. However, the roles of LAIR-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) have yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of LAIR-1 in HCC tissue and assess its clinical significance at this site.

Therapeutic efficacy of selective intraarterial chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel and nedaplatin for human papilloma virus-negative oropharyngeal cancer

ObjectiveHuman papilloma virus-negative oropharyngeal cancer has not achieved satisfactory outcomes compared with those of human papilloma virus-positive oropharyngeal cancer. This study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of selective intraarterial chemoradiotherapy with the docetaxel and nedaplatin regimen for human papilloma virus-negative oropharyngeal cancer.MethodsTwenty-two consecutive patients with human papilloma virus-negative oropharyngeal cancer who had undergone selective intraarterial chemoradiotherapy were retrospectively analyzed. The primary tumor and whole neck were irradiated (50 Gy). Subsequently, the primary site and metastatic lymph nodes were boosted by 20 Gy. The intraarterial chemotherapy regimen comprised a combination of nedaplatin (80 mg/m²) and docetaxel (60 mg/m²), which was initially administered at the start of radiotherapy and was given every 4 weeks for three sessions. Each intraarterial dose of an anticancer agent was determined according to the percentage of the tumor volume supplied by the target artery to the total tumor volume, which was intraoperatively measured via cone-beam computed tomography. The outcome measures were locoregional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates and adverse events. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kaplan–Meier method.ResultsThe median follow-up period was 59 (range, 15–103) months. The T stage was T1/T2 in 5 patients (23%), T3 in 5 patients (23%), and T4 in 12 patients (54%). Cervical lymph node metastasis was staged as ≥N2c in 7 (32%) patients. Complete response was achieved in all patients at the first imaging examination after intraarterial chemoradiotherapy. The 5-year locoregional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 96% (95% confidence interval, 0.72–0.99), 91% (95% confidence interval, 0.68–0.98), and 100% (95% confidence interval, not available), respectively. Regarding serious acute adverse events, grade 4 laryngeal edema and leukopenia were observed in 1 (5%) and 11 patients (50%), respectively. No other serious acute adverse events were observed.ConclusionSelective intraarterial chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel and nedaplatin has the potential to achieve favorable locoregional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates in human papilloma virus-negative oropharyngeal cancer.     

工作坊模式在护生压疮护理带教中的应用效果分析

目的探讨工作坊模式在护生压疮护理带教中的应用效果,为临床护理带教提供参考。方法选取2018年7月—2019年6月在医院实习的120名护生作为研究对象,随机分为对照组和观察组,各60名护生。对照组采用传统带教法进行压疮培训,观察组采用工作坊教学模式进行培训。培训结束后比较两组护生压疮知识的掌握程度即理论考核、技能操作成绩,教学效果满意度。结果观察组护生对压疮知识的掌握程度即理论考核成绩、技能操作考核成绩远远高于对照组,两组差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。95%的观察组护生对工作坊教学模式的效果表示满意,认为工作坊教学模式能够提高学习的兴趣、主动性和临床实践能力,对临床工作有很大帮助。结论工作坊教学模式应用于压疮护理的临床带教,能让护生亲身体验压疮护理的过程,并参与其中,将理论与实践相结合,更好地活跃课堂气氛,启发护生思考,提高护生对压疮理论和技能的掌握,为临床实际工作中压疮护理质量的提高奠定基础。

脱细胞基质面神经修复材料的制备

目的 制备具有天然神经组织结构的支架,构建组织工程化面神经用于修复面神经损伤。方法 取家兔面神经,改良化学萃取法制备脱细胞神经基质,HE染色形态学观察去细胞及脱髓鞘情况,荧光分光光度计测定支架内细胞经Quant-iT PicoGreen工作液染色后的DNA含量。MTT法检测细胞在支架上的相对生长率从而检测支架的细胞毒性。结果 支架移植体呈圆柱形,弹性与正常神经基本一致,组织观察显示细胞结构未见残余完整细胞及细胞碎片残留,未见神经髓鞘及轴突结构,细胞外基质形成纵向排列结构,结构之间可见空隙。兔脱细胞面神经基质支架内残留的DNA含量较正常兔面神经明显下降(P<0.01)。神经基质供体无细胞毒性。结论 改良化学萃取法可有效去除面神经细胞,天然结构保存完好,细胞毒性低,可作为组织工程化面神经的支架。
