RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between anemia and postoperative chemotherapy in elderly cancer patients. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-seven elderly patients ( age ≥ 60) with pathologically confirmed breast, lung and digestive tract cancers, who had HGB ≥ 120 g/L and ECOG scores 0-2, were included in this study. We reviewed their clinicopathological data and analyzed the correlation of anemia in breast cancer patients after 1, 3 or 5 cycles and lung cancer patients after 1, 2 or 3 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy. RESULTS: Among the 157 cases, the overall proportion of anemia was 31.8% (50/157) , with 18.8% in male and 47.2% in female patients (P < 0.001). After three cycles of chemotherapy, the proportion of anemia was 57.9% in lung cancer, 34.5% in breast cancer, 26.3% in gastric cancer and 9.3% in colorectal cancer patients (P < 0.001). The proportion of anemia during 5 cycles chemotherapy (three cycles in lung cancer) was gradually increasing. In the lung cancer patients, anemia was observed in 66.7% of patients who received vinorelbine plus cispiatin regimen and 25.0% of cases who received vinorelbine regimen chemotherapy (P = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS: In most elderly patients with normal hemoglobin level and in good conditions, the chemotherapy-related anemia is mild and less frequent. Age should not limit the adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly cancer patients. Attention should be paid to the possibility of anemia in elderly female lung cancer patients receiving multiple cycle platinum-based chemotherapy regimens.

Although tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has shown efficacy in a phase 2 clinical trial, development of resistance to TRAIL by tumor cells is a major roadblock. We investigated whether quercetin, a flavonoid, can sensitize human ovarian cancer cells to TRAIL. Results indicate that quercetin sensitized cancer cells to TRAIL. The quercetin induced expression of death receptor DR5 but did not affect expression of DR4 in cancer cells. The induction of DR5 was mediated through activation of JNK and through upregulation of a transcription factor CCAAT enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP); as silencing of these signaling molecules abrogated the effect of quercetin. Upregulation of DR5 was mediated through the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), as ROS scavengers reduced the effect of quercetin on JNK activation, CHOP upregulation, DR induction, TRAIL sensitization, downregulated the expression of cell survival proteins and upregulated the proapoptotic proteins. Furthermore, quercetin enhances TRAIL mediated inhibition of tumor growth of human SKOV-3 xenograft was associated with induction of apoptosis, activation of caspase-3, CHOP and DR5. Overall, our data suggest that quercetin enhances apoptotic death of ovarian cancer cells to TRAIL through upregulation of CHOP-induced DR5 expression following ROS mediated endoplasmic reticulum-stress.

Although HER2-targeted therapy has been shown to prolong the survival of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, most patients eventually progress due to drug resistance. Novel treatment options are urgently needed to overcome resistance to HER2-targeted therapy. The VEGF/VEGFR (Vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors) pathway is essential in tumor angiogenesis, which may be a promising target in HER2-positive breast cancer providing a rationale for the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting VEGFR. Here, we present a case of a heavily pretreated advanced breast cancer patient who did not respond to HER2-targeted therapy and developed resistance to multiple lines of HER2-targeted treatment. The patient was treated with apatinib at a dose of 500 mg daily, and obtained partial remission (PR) with a progression-free-stage (PFS) of 6 months. Our case indicates that apatinib might have anti-tumor activity in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer with HER2-targeted resistance. This case is of value which may provide new insights into strategies for HER2-targeted therapy resistance options in the clinic.

Objective To analyze the core genes of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and construct a competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network. Methods Original data of GSE145989 were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database as the training set, and the GSE172222 and GSE9634 datasets were used as the validation sets, and the differentially-expressed genes (DEG) were identified. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis were performed. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed, and the core genes were screened, and the diagnostic values of these core genes and the immune infiltration levels of immune cells were evaluated. The ceRNA network was constructed and validated. The targeted drugs based on ceRNA network were assessed. Results A total of 179 DEG were identified, including 61 down-regulated and 118 up-regulated genes. GO analysis showed that DEGs were associated with multiple biological processes, such as cell migration, differentiation and regulation, etc. They were correlated with cell components, such as vesicle membrane, serosa and membrane raft, etc. They were also associated with multiple molecular functions, such as chemokine receptor, G protein-coupled receptor, immune receptor activity and antigen binding, etc. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis revealed that DEG were involved in tumor necrosis factor (TNF), Wnt, interleukin (IL)-17 and nuclear factor (NF)-κB signaling pathways, etc. PPI network suggested that CD8A, IL2RG, STAT1, CD3G and SYK were the core genes of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. The ceRNA network prompted that miR-146a-3p, miR-28-5p and miR-593-3p were related to the expression level of CD3G. The miR-149-3p, miR-342-5p, miR-873-5p and miR-491-5p were correlated with the expression level of IL-2RG. The miR-194-3p, miR-512-3p, miR-377-3p and miR-590-3p were associated with the expression level of SYK. The miR-590-3p and miR-875-3p were related to the expression level of CD8A. The miR-143-5p, miR-1231, miR-590-3p and miR-875-3p were associated with the expression level of STAT1. There were 13 targeted drugs for CD3G, 4 targeted drugs for IL-2RG, 28 targeted drugs for SYK and 3 targeted drugs for lncRNA MUC2. No targeted drugs were identified for CD8A, STAT1 and other ceRNA network genes. Conclusions CD8A, IL2RG, STAT1, CD3G and SYK are the core genes of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury. The research and analysis of these core genes probably contribute to the diagnosis of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and providing novel research ideas and therapeutic targets.
RESUMEN
Objective:To examine the impact of berberine on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in mice, and to investigate the effects of berberine on the intestinal flora and the intestinal flora on PCOS.Methods:A mouse model of PCOS was established by administering dehydroepiandrosterone in combination with high fat diet, and the mouse model was given a berberine treatment. The study consisted of a blank control group (C group), a PCOS model group (M group) and a berberine treatment group (T group). During the experiment, the mice were closely monitored through timed body weight measurements and estrous cycle monitoring; intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and insulin tolerance test were done. Upon completion of the pharmacological intervention, the wet weights of liver, ovary and fat deposits of mice were assessed and subjected to HE staining to confirm the success of PCOS modeling and the efficacy of berberine. Additionally, fecal samples were analyzed for intestinal flora through 16S rRNA analysis.Results:The PCOS model was established successfully, berberine alleviated the disturbance of estrous cycle in mice, and significantly alleviated fat accumulation and metabolic abnormalities of glucose in mice. The cross-sectional area of fat pad cells in T group was (2 858±146) μm2, which was significantly lower than that in M group [(9 518±347) μm2], and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The blood glucose levels in T group were significantly lower than those in M group ( P<0.05). The composition and structure of intestinal flora in mice of M group with PCOS (compared with C group) and in mice of T group after berberine intervention (compared with M group) were significantly altered. However, alpha diversity did not change significantly among three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Berberine could alleviate PCOS by intervening in the alterations of gut microbiota.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of willingness to quit smoking in smokers, and to provide reference for further smoking cessation intervention. MethodsThrough purposive sampling, smokers were recruited from 4 residential communities and 3 companies in Shanghai for an online questionnaire survey. The survey included general demographic characteristics, willingness to quit smoking, smoking condition, tobacco addiction, awareness of influence of smoking, smoking abstinence self-efficacy, and smoking rationalization belief. T-test, χ2 test and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data. ResultsA total of 336 valid questionnaires were collected. The average age of the smokers was (37.1±10.2) years, and most of their education level was college or above (58.3%). The daily number of cigarette use was (11.46±7.22) and most of smokers were classified as low nicotine dependence (58.3%). Today 248 smokers planned to quit smoking in the next six months. Compared with smokers with low smoking abstinence self-efficacy, smokers with high self-efficacy were more likely to quit smoking (OR=2.406,95%CI: 1.357‒4.267); Smokers with low smoking rationalization belief were more likely to quit smoking than those with high rationalization belief (OR=2.112, 95%CI: 1.167‒3.821). ConclusionSmoking abstinence self-efficacy has a positive impact on willingness to quit smoking, while smoking rationalization belief has a negative impact on the willingness to quit smoking. Efforts to improve smoking abstinence self-efficacy and dispel smoking rationalization beliefs of smokers should be made to promote the intention to quit among smokers.
RESUMEN
Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI) is the main cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), which commonly occurs in surgery, severe trauma, shock and drug-induced kidney injury. At present, effective treatment for RIRI is still lacking. Oxidative stress is the major pathological injury mechanism of RIRI. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is the key transcription factor of anti-oxidative stress response, which may activate various cytoprotective genes related to redox and detoxification. Recent studies have shown that Nrf2 may play a protective role in the protection and treatment of RIRI by regulating oxidative stress, inflammation, cell apoptosis and autophagy, etc. Consequently, the structure and biological function of Nrf2, related signaling pathways, its role in the incidence and development of RIRI and potential mechanism were reviewed in this article, aiming to provide novel ideas for the prevention and treatment of RIRI.

RESUMEN
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) has a wide range of symptoms, and it is difficult for clinicians to make a quick and correct diagnosis. On November 11, 2021, a 36-year-old male patient with AAV was admitted to the emergency and critical care department of Yichang Central People's Hospital. He was admitted to the emergency intensive care unit (EICU) with gastrointestinal symptoms (abdominal pain, black stool) as the main physical signs, and was initially diagnosed as AAV with gastrointestinal hemorrhage (GIH). No bleeding point was found after repeated gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Abdominal emission CT (ECT) showed diffuse hemorrhage in the ileum, ascending colon and transverse colon. Multi-disciplinary consultation in the whole hospital considered the diffuse hemorrhage caused by small vascular lesions in the digestive tract caused by AAV. Pulse therapy with methylprednisolone 1 000 mg/d and immunosuppressive therapy with cyclophosphamide (CTX) 0.2 g/d were administered. The patient's symptoms quickly relieved and transferred out of the EICU. After 17 days of treatment, the patient finally died of massive gastrointestinal bleeding. A systematic review of relevant literatures combined with the case diagnosis and treatment process found that only a minority of AAV patients present with gastrointestinal symptoms as their first symptoms, and patients with GIH were very rare. Such patients had a poor prognosis. This patient delayed the use of induced remission and immunosuppressive agents due to the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding, which may be the main cause of life-threatening GIH secondary to AAV. Gastrointestinal bleeding is a rare and fatal complication of vasculitis. Timely and effective induction and remission treatment is the key to survival. Whether patients should receive maintenance therapy, the duration of maintenance therapy, and the search for markers of disease diagnosis and treatment response are directions and challenges for further research.

Objective:This study aimed to analyze differential metabolites in patients using a dual metabolic platform and to orientate early nutritional intervention in patients with cirrhosis.Methods:The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated based on computed tomography (CT) measurements of skeletal muscle cross-sectional area at the third lumbar vertebra level. Pre-sarcopenia was diagnosed for males with SMI < 46.96 and for females with SMI < 32.46. Fifteen HBV-related liver cirrhosis patients with pre-sarcopenia were included as Group S while fourteen liver cirrhosis without pre-sarcopenia were Group NS. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses were used to detect differential metabolites and disturbed pathways in the two groups.Results:Five pathways and twenty-eight pathways were defined as disturbed pathways in the plasma of liver cirrhosis patients with pre-sarcopenia by LC-MS and GC-MS, respectively. Most of these pathways are related to amino acid metabolism. Forty-two differential metabolites were imported into the disturbed pathways. Moreover, 3-hydroxypropanal, hydrocinnamic acid, betaine aldehyde, phosphohydroxypyruvic acid, (r)-3-hydroxybutyric acid, and creatinine were identified as potential biomarkers for pre-sarcopenia in HBV-related liver cirrhosis.Conclusions:The study identified a total of 33 pathways and related differential metabolites that were disturbed in HBV-related liver cirrhosis with pre-sarcopenia. The amino acid metabolism, urea cycle, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism pathways may be associated with pre-sarcopenia in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis. These results provide a direction for nutritional supplementation in liver cirrhosis.
RESUMEN
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequently and commonly occurring disease in clinic. In recent decades, with the development in pathophysiology and drug researches, modern medicine has achieved remarkable progress and results in diagnosis and treatment. However, the treatments for non-erosive reflux disease, refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease, proton pump inhibitor resistance, overlap of disease symptoms, and extraesophageal symptoms are limited and ineffective. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was widely used in clinical practice, which has been proved effective in relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life. Sponsored by China Association of Chinese Medicine (CACM) and undertaken by the Spleen and Stomach Disease Branch of CACM, "the 12th Youth Salon of Clinical Predominance Disease Series (GERD)" invited 18 authoritative digestive experts of TCM and western medicine to discuss "the difficulties of clinical diagnosis and treatment of GERD and TCM advantages". The focus issues such as modern medical diagnosis and treatment achievements and contributions, improvement and maintenance of symptoms, response to overlapping disease symptoms, reduction and withdrawal of acid suppressors, and treatment of extra-esophageal symptoms were discussed in depth. TCM and western medicine exchanged and complemented each other's strengths, combing the difficulties of modern medical diagnosis and treatment, which clarified the positioning and advantages of TCM and provided guidance for clinical and scientific research.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the warning effect of different tobacco packaging on teenagers and provide an objective evidence for improving tobacco packaging in China. MethodsA multi-stage cluster sampling method was used to investigate students from two middle schools and two high schools in Huangpu District, Shanghai with a self-filled questionnaire survey, and a total of 1 238 valid questionnaires were collected. Epidata 3.1 was used to input data and SPSS 20.0 was used for data analysis. ResultsAbout 69% of the respondents supported printing pictures of diseases on tobacco packages in China, and 81.58% thought graphic warnings should cover more than 70% of the tobacco package. The effect of graphic health warning labels was better than that of text-only warning labels (P<0.05), and the effect of real photos was better than abstract pictures. In addition, labels with real graphic warnings had the highest scores in terms of preventing youth smoking and the degree of support, which was significantly different from abstract graphic warning labels and text-only warning labels (P<0.05). ConclusionCigarette packs with graphic health warnings have a stronger effect on teenagers than plain text health warnings. Teenagers support the use of graphic warnings. It is recommended to apply graphic health warnings with real photos of diseases on the cigarette packages to maximize the effect of the health warnings.

RESUMEN
Objective To explore any effect of calorie restriction on the proliferation of satellite cells in the skeletal muscles of elderly rats.Methods Twelve male C57BL rats aged 12 or 13 months were randomly divided in to an experimental group and a control group,each of 6.The control group was fed 75.09 kJ/d as normal,while the experimental group was provided with 45.05 kJ/d (60% of normal).The intervention lasted for 15 weeks and each rat's weight was measured every week.After the intervention,limb muscle satellite cells were sorted by fluorescenceactivated cell sorting after digestion,and the cell cycle was analyzed.Western blotting was used to assess the expression of cyclin A,D1 and E.Results There was no significant difference in the average weight of the two groups before the experiment.After the 15 weeks the average weight of the experimental group had decreased significantly (to 19.5±0.4 g),and it was significantly lighter than that of the control group (31.9±0.5 g).The average percentage of the satellite cells in the G0/G1 phase had decreased significantly in the experimental group,but the percentage in the S phase had increased significantly.The expression of cyclin A and E was significantly greater in the experimental group compared with the control group,but the expression of cyclin D1 had decreased significantly.Conclusion Caloric restriction can delay the proliferation of satellite cells in the skeletal muscles of elderly mice.
RESUMEN
Objective To observe and compare the curative effects of zoledronic acid (ZA) combined with radiotherapy and ZA combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of bone metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Seventy-eight patients with NSCLC bone metastasis treated by radiotherapy or chemotherapy were taken in our hospital from January 2010 to June 2014, including 39 cases of ZA combined conventional fractionation radiotherapy (radiotherapy combined group), and 39 cases of ZA combined with chemotherapy (paclitaxel liposome + cisplatin) (chemotherapy combined group). Each group had 39 cases. WHO objective evaluation standard, efficacy evalulation of solid tumor metastasis and curative effect standard grading of pain, anticancer agent toxicity classification standard, Karnofsky standard were used for evaluating and analyzing the patients with primary lung tumor, bone metastasis, degree of pain, adverse reactions and functional status (once before and after the treatment). Results The efficiency rate of primary lung tumor, the efficiency rate of bone metastasis, the total effective rate of pain relief and the improvement rate of functional status (Karnofsky score increased by 10 points or more)in the radiotherapy combined group and chemotherapy combined group were 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 79.49 % (31/39), 48.72 % (19/39) vs. 51.28 %(20/39), 82.05 % (32/39) vs. 84.62 % (33/39), 66.67 % (26/39) vs. 71.79 % (28/39) respectively, and the differences were not statistically significant (the values of x2 were 0.224, 0.237, 0.195, 0.259 respectively, all P> 0.05); Although the two groups showed low-grade fever, bone marrow suppression, esophagitis, liver and kidney damage, gastrointestinal reactions and other adverse reactions, the adverse reactions of two groups were close to [28.21 % (11/39) vs. 30.77 % (12/39)] (x2 = 0.314, P> 0.05). Fortunately, these reactions were controlled well after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion ZA combined with radiotherapy or chemotherapy is a safe and effective way for bone metastasis of NSCLC, which should be taken based on the individual condition of the patients.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the differences of leukocyte subtypes and thyroid function of the patients with different thyrotoxicosis diseases,and to clarify the practical significance of leukocyte subtypes and thyroid function tests in the differential diagnosis of Graves disease thyrotoxicosis and destructive thyrotoxicosis.Methods:A total of 33 patients with Graves disease thyrotoxicosis and 30 patients with destructive thyrotoxicosis confirmed by clinical and laboratory examination were selected; the levels of neutrophils (Ne),lymphocyte (Ly),basophils (Ba), eosinophil (Eo)and mononuclear cells (Mo),serum free thyroxine (FT4),three free iodine thyroid former glycine (FT3),and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)of the patients in two groups were analyzed and the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC)was used to evaluate the values of the indicators with statastical significance in the differential diagnosis of Graves disease thyrotoxicosis and destructive thyrotoxicosis.Results:The levels of serum Eo,FT4 and FT3,and the modified data Eo/Mo,Eo × FT3 / Mo of the patients in Graves disease thyrotoxicosis group were significantly higher than those in destructive thyrotoxicosis group (P <0.05);the levels of TSH and Mo of the patients were lower than those in destructive thyrotoxicosis group (P < 0.05).The ROC curve analysis results showed that the sensitivities and specificities of Eo,Eo/Mo,Eo×FT3/Mo in the differential diagnosis of two diseases were good, and the best diagnostic boundaries were 1.54, 0.34, and 3.94. Conclusion:Eo,Mo,TSH,FT3,FT4,Eo/Mo,and EoxFT3/Mo could be regarded as the basis in the differential diagnosis of Graves disease thyrotoxicosis and destructive thyrotoxicosis ,and the practical significances of Eo,Eo/Mo,and Eo×FT3 /Mo in the differential diagnosis of Graves disease thyrotoxicosis and destructive thyotoxicosis are bigger.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the influence of the glycemic control level of gestational diabetes melli-tus (GDM)to neonatal immunity system function.Methods 41 newborns whose mothers suffered from GDM and treated,were selected as the observation group.Inside the observation group,based on the glycemic control level,they were divided into 25 cases in higher satisfaction group and 16 cases in lower satisfaction group.20 cases from normal full -term and single -birth pregnancy were selected as the control group.The levels of serum immunoglobulin and the complement were observed in three different groups.Results The level of serum immunoglobulin(IgG)in lower satisfaction group was (5.2 ±1.4)g/L,which was significantly lower than higher satisfaction group (10.4 ±2.2)g/L and control group (10.3 ±1.9)g/L(t =8.957,8.470,P <0.01).The C3 and C4 levels in the higher satisfaction group [C3 (59.3 ±12.9)g/L,C4(39.4 ±11.2)g/L]and control group[C3 (59.9 ±13.8)g/L,C4 (39.8 ± 10.6)g/L]were significantly higher than the lower satisfaction group [C3(40.6 ±10.5)g/L,C4 (21.9 ±6.3)g/L] (t =4.612,4.854,5.956,5.685,all P <0.01 ).Conclusion Higher level of glycemic control on GDM mothers benefits neonatal serum immunoglobulin and the complement,and has positive impact on the immunity system and liver function.

Objective To analyze the influence of labor delivery ball exercise and free position for nursing on labor and birth outcome.Methods 110 cases of primipara were selected as the research subjects in our hospital, they were randomly divided into observation group and control group accorrded to digital method,55 cases in each group.The observation group received labor delivery ball exercise and free position for nursing,the control group received conventional way for nursing.The labor time of 1,2,3 stage,the total time of labor and 2h postpartum blood loss in two groups were compared,the VAS,VRS,PPI,VAS -A and LAS scores,the vaginal natural births rate of two groups were compared.Results The pain score,anxiety score in the observation group were (6.14 ±1.66)points and (3.63 ±1.24)points respectively,which were significantly lower than (8.46 ±1.27)points and (6.32 ± 1.33)points in the control group,and birth control score (171.21 ±19.75)points was also significantly higher than the control group (125.71 ±17.42)points,the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t =6.115,3.938,5.327,all P <0.05 ).The first labor time and the total labor time in the observation group were (452.44 ±137.75)min and (493.02 ±137.99)min respectively,which were also significantly lower than the control group [(525.51 ±128.19)min,(576.41 ±132.13)min],the differences between two groups were statistically sig-nificant(t =3.097,5.406,all P <0.05).The natural childbirth success rate of observation group was 92.73%,which was obviously higher than 67.27% in the control group,the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2 =16.135,P <0.05).Conclusion Free position midwifery match with ball movement launched applied in natural birth can obtain good results,and has small injury,can improve the pregnant women's sense of control,reduce pain,it is worthy of clinical popularization and application.
