Objective To investigate the expression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues, and to explore the relationship with clinicopathological features of it. Methods PCR was used to examine the expression of EZH2 mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues, paracancerous tissues, and normal epithelium tissues of 27 patients with colorectal cancer. Meanwhile, the relationship between the expression of EZH2 mRNA and clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer were analyzed. Results Expression level of EZH2 mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues, paracancerous tissues, and normal epithelium tissues were 3.01±1.29, 1.20±0.69, and 0.87±0.37 respectively, and the expression value of colorectal cancer tissues at the top (P<0.01), but there were no significant difference between the paracancerous tissues and normal epithelium tissues (P=0.403). Expression of EZH2 mRNA were related to TNM stages (P=0.002) and degree of differentiation (P=0.005), but were not related to age (P=0.388), gender (P=0.963), diameter of tumor (P=0.579), histological type (P=0.945), location of tumor (P=0.611), and lymph node metastasis (P=0.449). Conclusions EZH2 mRNA expresses highly in colorectal cancer tissues, so it may play an essential role in the emergence and development of colorectal cancer. EZH2 mRNA can be used as one of the referenced indexes to determine the malignant degree and process of colorectal cancer.
To further standardize the prevention and treatment of acute pharyngitis in China, both in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine, and to promote the standardized application of TCM, antipyretic and analgesic drugs, antibiotics, and glucocorticoids in the prevention and treatment of acute pharyngitis, the China Association of Chinese Medicine has initiated a project. The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, General Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, and Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences are leading the effort. Based on the WHO guidelines for guideline development, the guiding principles for the formulation and revision of clinical practice guidelines in China, and the technical specifications for the development of clinical application guidelines for the combined prevention and treatment of TCM and Western medicine, the "Clinical application guidelines for the combined prevention and treatment of acute pharyngitis with TCM and Western medicine" are to be formulated. This protocol aims to elaborate on the background of the guidelines, the composition of the working group, the construction of clinical questions, the acquisition and quality evaluation of the evidence, and the formation of recommendations.
Objective To observe the effect of RNA interference (RNAi) on HepG2 hepatic cancer cell by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Methods siRNA targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene was transfected into HepG2 cells by LipofectimineTM 2000. The VEGF mRNA and protein were respectively detected by real-time quantitive PCR and Western blot, and the concentration of VEGF protein in the cell culture supertant was determined by ELISA at 48 h after culture. Results The average efficiency of siRNA transfection was (90.4±2.9)% after 6 h cell culture. The expressions of VEGF mRNA and protein in HepG2 cells could be effectively suppressed by siRNA, and the concentration of VEGF protein in the cell culture supertant was also decreased. Conclusion siRNA can knock down the expression of VEGF gene and decrease the concentration of VEGF protein in HepG2 cells.
ObjectiveTo analyse the quality of implementation in clinical application guidelines of the Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of common diseases. MethodsWe retrieved clinical application guidelines of the Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of common diseases published from February, 2019 to August, 2022 in databases. The clinical practice guideline (CPG) implementation evaluation tool was used to evaluate the implementation of the included guidelines. ResultsA total of 29 guidelines were included. The implementation quality of included guidelines was moderate. Thirteen (44.8%) were high quality and 16 (55.2%) were moderate quality. ConclusionThe quality of implementation of clinical application guidelines of the Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of common diseases is higher than that of other traditional Chinese medicine CPG. The CPG implementation evaluation tool can be used in traditional Chinese medicine CPGs and particularity of TCM should also be considered.
目的 探討白試驗在肝切除手術中檢測漏膽的價值。方法 筆者所在醫院2008年1月至2013年1月期間在肝切除手術中采用白試驗聯合干紗布擦拭法檢測漏膽56例。即在肝切除手術操作末期,用干紗布擦拭法確認無漏膽后,經膽囊管或左右肝管插管注入5%無菌脂肪乳劑10~30mL,同時用手阻斷遠端膽總管。觀察肝切除手術創面的白色液體滲出情況,對滲出白色液體處予以間斷縫合。重復操作,至斷面無白色液體滲出為止。結果 56例患者經術中檢測,發現漏膽17例(漏膽檢出率為30.4%),每例發現漏膽1~6處(平均2.9處),術中均予以確切縫合以關閉漏膽處,且重復試驗操作,證實均再無漏膽。術后發生漏膽2例(3.6%),經相應治療后痊愈出院。全部患者出院后均隨訪3~6個月(平均3.8個月),無膈下積液或膈下感染病例發生。結論 術中白試驗能夠發現漏膽的精確部位,不會污染肝切除手術創面,并能夠無限次地重復試驗,值得臨床推廣。
Construct clinical questions is the basis in developing the evidence-based clinical practice guidelines. The identification of the topics and clinical questions in the evidence-based clinical practice guidelines of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is the most challenging procedure in the process of developing guidelines, but there is still a lack of systematic formulation process and methodological recommendations. This article takes the construction of the topics and clinical questions of the "Clinical Application Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Pharyngitis with Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" as an example, expounds the process and methodological suggestions for the construction of the topics and clinical questions, so as to provide a reference for the formulation and improve the quality and clinical applicability of the evidence-based clinical practice guidelines of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
