ObjectiveTo summarize the recent advances in the relationship between long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) and tumor autophagy, autophagy and drug resistance regulation.MethodsReviewed the relevant literatures at home and abroad, and reviewed the recent research progress of LncRNA regulation of autophagy to affect tumor resistance.ResultsDrug resistance was a common problem in the process of anti-tumor therapy. Autophagy played an important role in the process of tumor resistance as an important mechanism to maintain cell homeostasis. Abnormal regulation of LncRNA could contribute to the occurrence and development of tumors, and could also mediate the resistance of tumor cells to anti-tumor drugs by promoting or inhibiting autophagy.ConclusionsLncRNA can mediate tumor autophagy in a positive or negative direction, and autophagy is a " double-edged sword” for tumor resistance. LncRNA may improve tumor resistance to drugs by regulating autophagy.

ObjectiveTo summarize the correlation between human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene expression and the efficacy of targeted therapy for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, and to summarize the new progress in the study of HER2 gene copy number. MethodThe relevant literatures on researches of targeted therapy effectiveness for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer were retrieved and reviewed. ResultsHER2 gene copy number and HER2/centromere on chromosome 17 (CEP17) ratio were related to the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, and circulating tumor DNA sequencing was expected to be a predictive indicator of targeted therapy effectiveness. ConclusionHigher copy number of HER2 gene might be associated with a better prognosis of HER2-positive breast cancer, and HER2/CEP17 ratio and circulating tumour DNA are of some significances in evaluating treatment response of trastuzumab for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.
Objective To explore the clinical effect and complications of lumbar plexus block through different approaches on perioperative analgesia in aged proximal femur surgery, and find the best method for analgesia in these patients. Methods From January to December 2015, 150 elderly patients scheduled for proximal femur surgery were randomly divided into three groups: psoas compartment block (PCB group, n=50), Winnie " 3 in 1” block (Winnie group, n=50), and fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB group, n=50). Twelve hours before surgery, guided by ultrasound and nerve stimulator, lumbar plexus blocks were performed in all the patients, then patient-controlled analgesia (the formula and the usage were the same) was done. All patients received epidural anesthesia, and were maintained postoperative analgesia for 72 hours. If Rest Visual Analogue Scale>3 or Initiative Movement Visual Analogue Scale>4, sufentanyl 10 μgi.m. was given. Muscle strength grades and complications were recorded. Anesthetic effect of sensory block of femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous, and obturator nerves were measured and recorded too. Results There were two cases of epidural block, and one case of puncture point bleeding in group PCB; no complication in the other groups was found. There was no remedy for inadequate analgesia in the three groups. Compared with group PCB, the muscle strength grades during postoperative 24–72 hours in group FICB were higher (P<0.05). The successful rate of the block of lateral femoral cutaneous nerves was 64%, 91% and 96% in group Winnie, group PCB and group FICB, respectively, and the differences between the three groups were all statistically significant (P<0.05). The successful rate of the block of obturator nerves in group FICB (62%) was lower than that in group PCB (89%) and Winnie group (84%) (P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous fascia iliaca compartment block on perioperative analgesia in aged proximal femur surgery, with exact effect, less complications and simple operation, is better than the psoas compartment block and Winne " 3 in 1” nerve block.
Objective To develope a novel rabbit carotid body and carotid common artery model in vivo for the simulation of various intermittent hypoxia ( IH) intensities, IH durations, IH reoxygenation ( ROX) durations and continuous hypoxia ( CH) modes. Methods Forty-five adult New Zealand rabbits ( 2. 5-3. 0 kg) were anesthetized while spontaneous breathing kept intact. The tissue surrounding the right carotid common artery and carotid sinus nerve ( CSN) were cleared and " single" chemoreceptor bundle of the CSN was revealed. Then suction electrodes were placed and CSN afferent activity was monitored and recorded carefully. The right common carotid artery was exposed, cannulated to distal part and its proximal part was ligated. Preparations were challenged by changing the PO2 of the gas mixture equilibrating the perfusate. Alternatively perfusion ( 2 mL/min) of equilibrated perfusate bubbled with normoxia or hypoxia gas mixtures formed IH/ROX cycles in carotid common artery, simulating the pattern of hypoxic episodes seen in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome ( OSAS) , or with continuously perfusing hypoxia perfusate to form CH modes. All the perfusing procedures were regulated by a customized computer-controlled set and monitored using O2 gas analyzer. After the systematic exposures, carotid body, carotid common artery part distal to cannula, and carotid bifurcation were harvested as samples. Results The frequencies and average amplitudes of CSN chemoreceptor bundles afferent activities with normoxia perfusion were ( 0. 17 ±0. 03) impulse/ s and ( 46. 2 ±4. 4) μV, and with hypoxia perfusion were ( 0. 64 ±0. 09) impulse/ s and ( 87. 4 ±6. 6) μV, respectively. PO2 was ( 139 ±1. 5) mm Hg in normoxia perfusate and ( 35. 2 ±1. 3) mm Hg in hypoxia perfusate. Conclusion This new carotid body and carotid common arterymodel is a valuable tool to study neurological and biochemical changes in various IH and CH modes.
Objective To investigate whether the sleep-induced hypoxemia ( SIH) at different time and different level have different effects on pulmonary emphysema and coagulation systemfunction in the rats with pulmonary emphysema. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups( n = 10 in each group) . All rats were exposed to cigarette smoke twice a day ( 30 min each time) . From29th day on, the rats in Group A ( pulmonary emphysema with short SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 12. 5% oxygen for 1. 5 hours during sleeping time every day ( the expose time was divided into 4 periods, 22. 5 min each) . The rats in Group B ( pulmonary emphysema with mild SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 15% oxygen for three hours during sleeping time every day( the expose time was divided into 4 periods, 45 min each) . The rats in Group C( pulmonary emphysema with standard SIH) were also exposed to mixed gas of 12. 5% oxygen for three hours during sleeping time every day( the expose time was divided into 4 periods,45 min each) . After continuous exposure for 56 days, the rats were sacrificed. Semi-quantitative image analytic method was employed for histopathological analysis including pathological score of lungs, mean linear intercept ( MLI) and mean alveolus number( MAN) . ATⅢ, FIB, vWF, FⅧ were measured. Results All animals in three groups manifested the histopathological features of emphysema. Pathological scores of lungs and MLI of every group were significantly different from each other( F = 21. 907, F = 18. 415, all P lt; 0. 05) , Group A [ ( 61. 90 ±4. 25) % , ( 92. 45 ±1. 78) μm] and Group B[ ( 64. 60 ±3. 95) % , ( 92. 80 ±3. 65) μm] were significantly lower than Group C[ ( 73. 30 ±3. 86) % , ( 99. 32 ±2. 81) μm, q= 8. 96, q =6. 84, q = 12. 64, q =9. 65, all P lt; 0. 05] . Levels of FIB were significantly different among three groups ( F = 20. 592, P lt; 0. 05) while FIB in Group A[ ( 189. 98 ±5. 29) mg/ dL] and Group B[ ( 182. 70 ±2. 78) mg /dL] were significantly lower than that in Group C[ ( 198. 40 ±7. 37) mg/ dL, q = 4. 86, q= 9. 07, all P lt; 0. 05] , and FIB in Group A was significantly higher than that in Group B( q = 4. 20, P lt; 0. 05) . Levels of FⅧ were significantly different from each other( F = 33. 652, P lt;0. 05) while FⅧ in Group A[ ( 232. 26 ±4. 17) % ]and Group B[ ( 242. 53 ±14. 50) % ] were significantly lower than that in Group C[ ( 303. 25 ±32. 93) % ,q= 10. 73, q = 9. 18, all P lt; 0. 05] . Conclusions Pulmonary emphysema and hypercoagulable states increases with time and severity of SIH in rats with pulmonary emphysema. The elevated activity of blood coagulation factor may be a critical role in the hypercoagulable states.
