The prognostic role of tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes in oral squamous cell carcinoma: A meta‐analysis

It has been suggested that tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are associated with the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the prognostic value of TILs is inconclusive due to the heterogeneity of immune cells within the tumour microenvironment. In this meta‐analysis, we aimed to assess the prognostic value of TILs in OSCC. The PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science databases were searched up to April 20, 2019, and 33 studies were ultimately included in this meta‐analysis. Our pooled meta‐analysis showed that high infiltration of CD8⁺ TILs, CD45RO⁺ TILs and CD57⁺ TILs favoured better overall survival (OS). However, high infiltration of CD68⁺ macrophages and CD163⁺ macrophages was associated with poor prognosis in OSCC. These findings suggest that CD8⁺ TILs, CD45RO⁺ TILs, CD57⁺ TILs, CD68⁺ macrophages and CD163⁺ macrophages might serve as novel prognostic factors and therapeutic targets in OSCC.     

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。     

Prognostic factors for surgical resection in patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis.

Although surgical lung resection could improve prognosis in some patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), there are no reports on the optimal candidates for this surgery. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the prognostic factors for surgery in patients with MDR-TB. Patients who underwent lung resection for the treatment of MDR-TB between March 1993 and December 2004 were included in the present study. Treatment failure was defined as greater than or equal to two of the five cultures recorded in the final 12 months of treatment being positive, any one of the final three cultures being positive, or the patient having died during treatment. The variables that affected treatment outcomes were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. In total, 79 patients with MDR-TB were included in the present study. The treatment outcomes of 22 (27.8%) patients were classified as failure. A body mass index <18.5 kg x m(-2), primary resistance, resistance to ofloxacin and the presence of a cavitary lesion beyond the range of the surgical resection were associated with treatment failure. Low body mass index, primary resistance, resistance to ofloxacin and cavitary lesions beyond the range of resection are possible poor prognostic factors for surgical lung resection in multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients.     

Neprilysin基因在大鼠体外培养骨髓基质细胞中的表达

目的探讨人Neprilysin基因在小鼠MSCs中的表达情况。方法分离培养小鼠MSCs，采用分子克隆技术构建Neprilysin—pEGFP重组质粒，将此Neprilysin—pEGFP重组质粒用脂质体转染进MSCs中，在荧光倒置显微镜下观察该基因在MSCs中的表达效率。结果经酶切鉴定得到系列正确的重组Neprilysin—pEGFP。Neprilysin可在MSCs中表达且通过脂质体传染的效率是20％。结论获得了表达Neprilysin基因的骨髓基质细胞，为进一步探讨将该细胞用于阿尔茨海默病基因治疗的可能性研究提供了技术基础。     

代孕技术中的伦理道德及法律问题

新近发展的代孕技术给众多不孕夫妇带来为人父母的喜悦之时,也对人们传统的生殖伦理观念形成冲击并挑战现存法律制度.人们不仅要肯定代孕技术的合理性,也要警惕其所产生的潜在的破坏性影响.合理利用该技术和制定相应的法规是避免出现伦理和社会混乱的有效途径.

脑梗塞合并精神障碍病人的分型及护理

脑梗塞是由于脑动脉粥样硬化和血栓形成使管腔闭塞，导致急性脑供血不足和脑组织局部坏死的临床症候群。其主要临床表现为偏瘫和失语。其中部分病人还可合并精神障碍。脑梗塞在我国十分常见，据文献报道：我国每年约有150余万人发生脑梗塞，因此认为做好脑梗塞病人的治疗和护理，尽快恢复其肢体和脑功能，具有十分重要的临床意义和社会意义。
