  • The progress of possible mechanism and treatment of severe acute lung injury induced by influenza A virus

    Influenza A is an acute infectious respiratory disease caused by influenza A virus, with typical signs and symptoms of upper and / or lower respiratory tract involvement, and symptoms of systemic disease such as fever, headache, myalgia and fatigue. Although it is a self-limited disease in the general population, it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in some high-risk populations and often leads serious complications, such as severe acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as other extrapulmonary injuries. The exploration of the mechanisms of lung injury caused by influenza A infection could be helpful to understand the pathogenic mechanisms of other viral pneumonias, such as coronavirus disease 2019.

  • Research progress of YAP/TAZ in regulating drug resistance in cancer

    ObjectiveTo elucidate the latest research progress of Yes-associated protein (YAP) / transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in regulating tumor drug resistance. MethodThe relevant literature on YAP/TAZ in regulating tumor cell chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy resistance was reviewed and summarized in the databases such as PubMed, CNKI, and so on. ResultsThe YAP/TAZ was involved in the resistance regulation of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy in various human tumors. The YAP/TAZ could interact with various proteins to induce the occurrence of tumor resistance. The imbalance of YAP/TAZ signaling might lead to an important mechanism of tumor cell resistance. ConclusionsThere is a close relation between YAP/TAZ and tumor cell resistance. Studying the mechanism of YAP/TAZ regulating tumor resistance can provide new strategies and targets for addressing tumor resistance.

  • The role of interferon-γ in suppressing bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats

    Objective To investigate the role of IFN-γ in suppressing bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats.Methods Seventy-five SD rats were randomly divided into five groups (15 rats in each group),ie.a normal group,a bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model group,a dexamethasone-treated group,a high-dose IFN-γ-treated group (150 000 U/kg) and a low-dose IFN-γ-treated group (50 000 U/kg).Five rats in each group were randomly killed in 7th day,14th day and 28th day after relative treatment respectively,and lung tissue samples were harvested for histopathology study.HE and Masson staining were used to determine the extent of alveolus inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis respectively.Histoimmunochemical method were adapted to determine protein levels of TGF-β1,CTGF,type Ⅰcollagen and type Ⅲ collagen in pulmonary tissues.Results Histopathological study showed that treatment with either dexamethasone or IFN-γ (both high dose and low dose) remarkably meliorated the extent of alveolus inflammation and suppressed pulmonary fibrosis (compared with model group,all Plt;0.05).Histoimmunochemical study suggested that both dexamethasone and IFN-γ could inhibit the expression of TGF-β1,CTGF,type Ⅰand type Ⅲ collagen (compared with model group,all Plt;0.05),and the suppression of TGF-β1,type Ⅰand type Ⅲ collagen expression was more obvious in high-dose IFN-γ-treated group than those in low-dose group (Plt;0.05).Conclusions INF-γ possesses apparent anti-fibrosis effect that is similar to dexamethasone but with less side effect.Such effect may resulted from reduced production of type Ⅰand type Ⅲ collagen through expression inhibition of cytokines such as TGF-β1 and CTGF.

  • The Relationship Between Tumor Biomarkers and Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

    【Abstract】 Objective To evaluate the relationship between multiple tumor biomarkers and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ( IPF) , and analyze the prognostic value of these biomarkers in IPF. Methods Clinical data of 43 confirmed IPF patients with no evidence of malignant disaeses, admitted in Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2000 and June 2010, were retrospectively analyzed. All IPF patients had detected serum alpha fetoprotein ( AFP) , cancer antigen 50 ( CA50) , cancer antigen 24-2( CA24-2) , carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) , carbohydrate antigen 19-9 ( CA19-9) , cancer antigen 125( CA125) , cancer antigen 15-3 ( CA15-3) , tissue polypeptide antigen ( TPA) , neuron specific enolase( NSE) , and cytokeratin-19-fragment ( Cyfra211) . Results The serum levels of CEA, CA19-9, CA125,CA15-3, and TPA were obviously higher than normal range, while the serum levels of AFP, CA50, CA24-2,NSE, and Cyfra211 were within normal range. Neither tumor biomarkers had correlation with 6-minute walk distance, FVC% pred, TLC% pred, DLCO/VA, PaO2 , PaO2 /FiO2 , P( A-a) O2 , BALF cell differentiation counting,or CD4 /CD8. The patients with increased CA19-9 level had shorter survival time than those with normal CA19-9 level ( P lt; 0. 05) . There was no significant difference in survival time between the patients with increased CEA/TPA levels and those with normal CEA/TPA levels( P gt;0. 05) , neither between the patients with glucocorticoid treatment and those with non-glucocorticoid treatment ( P gt; 0. 05) . Conclusions Multiple tumor biomarkers, especially CA19-9, increase in IPF patients. The degrees of those increases arenot associated with the severity of disease, but closely relate to prognosis, and may also indicate the progression. The increases of multiple tumor biomarkers may be a sign of poor prognosis of IPF with no evidence of malignant disaeses.

  • EFFECTIVENESS OF MINIMALLY INVASIVE SURGERY FOR PECTUS EXCAVATUM IN ADULTS

    ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of anterior chest wall depression on the cardiac function and the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery for pectus excavatum by comparing cardiac function and morphology between pre- and post-operation. MethodsBetween August 2009 and December 2010, 102 adult patients with pectus excavatum were treated with minimally invasive surgery, including the primary operation in 95 cases and the reoperation in 7 cases. There were 84 males and 18 females, aged 18-57 years (mean, 23.4 years). The haller index (HI) was 4.59 ± 1.51. Of 102 patients, 59 were classified as pectus excavatum type I and 43 as type II; 42 had clinical symptoms and 19 had the physical sign of heart. The preoperative chest CT examination showed cardiac compression in all patients and heart displacement in 74 patients. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 68.9% ± 6.2%. ResultsThe procedure was successful in all patients, and no death or serious complication occurred. The patients were followed up 12-28 months (mean, 21 months). The clinical symptoms and cardiac physical sign of the patients disappeared after operation. HI was 2.70 ± 0.33 at 12 months after operation, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative HI (t=5.83, P=0.00). According to Nuss’s evaluation method, the results were excellent in 99 patients and good in 3 patients. CT examination showed complete relief of cardiac compression in 101 patients and mild cardiac compression in 1 patient; the heart position was normal at 12 months after operation. Electrocardiogram returned to normal in 4 patients having abnormal electrocardiogram. LVEF was 70.5% ± 4.8% after operation, showing no significant difference when compared with preoperative LVEF (t=1.08, P=0.30). ConclusionThe main effects of pectus excavatum in adults on heart are compression and displacement. Cardiac compression may be relieved efficiently and the patient’s clinical symptoms can be abated by minimally invasive surgery.
