扶正消瘤颗粒对原发性肝癌血清中VEGF、HIF-1α表达的影响及临床意义＊

目的 探讨扶正消瘤颗粒对原发性肝癌血清中血管内皮生长因子（Vascular endothelial growth factor，VEGF）和缺氧诱导因子-1α（Hypoxia inducible factor-1α，HIF-1α）表达的影响及临床意义。方法 选择符合纳入标准的原发性肝癌患者66例，按1∶1随机分试验组和对照组。观察治疗过程中两组VEGF、HIF-1α水平的变化及对患者临床疗效指标的影响。结果 （1）在性别、年龄、合并乙型肝炎、Child-Pugh分级、AFP值、临床分期方面，试验组和对照组差异无统计学意义（P > 0.05）。（2）肝癌患者在治疗各时间节点的VEGF和HIF-1α表达水平呈线性正相关（r = 0.829，P < 0.001）。（3）VEGF浓度在经导管动脉化疗栓塞术（Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization，TACE）后3月降至术前水平（P > 0.05），HIF-1α在TACE后3月仍高于术前（P < 0.05）。（4）扶正消瘤颗粒可降低HIF-1α水平，下调VEGF的表达。（5）扶正消瘤颗粒可减少TACE序贯RFA治疗后的不良反应，提高患者的生活质量（P < 0.05）。（6）血清中VEGF水平与生活质量无明显相关性（P > 0.05，r = 0.251），HIF-1α水平与生活质量存在正相关性（P < 0.05，r = 0.450）。结论 扶正消瘤颗粒可明显改善TACE序贯RFA治疗后患者生活质量，降低HIF-1α水平，下调VEGF的表达，抑制肿瘤血管生成。

从“肾毒”论治慢性肾脏病＊

慢性肾脏病是一种以肾脏功能的损伤为主要表现，并可累及全身多脏器的慢性进展性疾病。中医辨证治疗本病在延缓病情、改善预后等方面具有显著的优势。通过中医理论研究及临床经验总结，笔者提出从“肾毒”论治慢性肾脏病，认为其不仅是本病的致病因素，更是重要的病理产物，是本病发生发展、迁延难愈的关键。在治疗上提出以“益肾元、解肾毒”为大法，并根据不同兼夹辨证施治，采用药对，长治缓图。以“肾毒”立论拟定的经验方苏茵解毒方，在临床治疗和实验研究上均显示出明显的效果，并已制备成院内制剂临床使用，在疗效及经济效益方面均具有显著的优势。     

某医疗机构核医学工作场所劳务派遣保洁人员的职业健康管理

近几年，"劳务派遣"成了医疗机构终末消毒、保洁、垃圾回收等工作新的用工形式。由于多数用工单位和用人单位不清楚对劳务派遣人员职业健康管理中各自应承担的责任和义务，以至于劳务派遣工在劳动过程中应享有的劳动保护权益未获得切实保障。本文就某医疗机构核医学工作场所劳务派遣保洁人员的职业健康管理监督案例进行讨论。     

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.

Dorsal suspension for Morton’s neuroma: A comparison with neurectomy

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the clinical outcomes of dorsal suspension with those of neurectomy for the treatment of Morton’s neuroma.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study of dorsal suspension and neurectomy group. The dorsal suspension was performed by dorsal transposition of neuroma over the dorsal transverse ligament after neurolysis. The visual analog scale (VAS), the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), postoperative satisfaction, and complications were evaluated.ResultsBoth groups reported significant pain relief, and there were no significant differences between the groups with respect to postoperative pain. The postoperative FAAM outcomes showed no significant between-group differences. Satisfaction analysis showed ‘excellent’ and ‘good’ results in the dorsal suspension and neurectomy groups (95% and 77.7%, respectively). Complications of numbness and paresthesia reported in the dorsal suspension group (5% and 5%, respectively) were significantly fewer than those of neurectomy group (61.1% and 33.3%, respectively) (both, p < .05).ConclusionsWith its favorable results, dorsal suspension can be another operative option for the treatment of Morton’s neuroma.Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative case series.
