ObjectiveTo explore feasibility of mRNA vaccines as a novel strategy for individualized precision treatment of pancreatic cancer. MethodThe recent domestic and international literature on vaccine research in pancreatic cancer was reviewed. ResultsThe heterogeneity between and within the pancreatic tumors had limited the efficacy of traditional vaccines based on cells, exosomes, proteins, peptides, or DNA for pancreatic cancer. The mRNA vaccine was considered as a promising alternative therapy due to their precise targeting, low toxicity, and ability to induce long-lasting immune memory. Breakthroughs in the tumor antigen recognition, immune subtype differentiation, and mRNA vaccine construction, the development strategy of pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine would further facilitate the development of personalized precision medicine. The existing mRNA vaccines usually need to be combined with other immunotherapy methods to improve efficacy, while the development of preventive vaccines is still exploraing. ConclusionsmRNA vaccines, as an innovative and promising platform, offer a new hope for the development of pancreatic cancer vaccines. However, the heterogeneity of pancreatic tumors has resulted in poor efficacy with traditional vaccines. Although the limitations of traditional vaccines and the heterogeneity of pancreatic cancer itself, the more challenges of vaccine research of pancreatic cancer is facing, the advantages of mRNA vaccine still make it possible to treat pancreatic cancer. In the face of the challenge of complex disease characteristics of pancreatic cancer, more research is needed to support the transformation and application of mRNA vaccine in clinical therapy.
摘要:目的: 探讨如何提高早产儿存活率和生存质量。 方法 :对我院新生儿病房收治的228例早产儿的临床资料进行了回顾分析。 结果 :引起早产的母亲因素以胎膜早破、妊娠期胆汁淤积综合征及妊娠合并高血压综合征为早产的重要因素,而引起早产儿常见疾病的是新生儿肺炎,高胆红素血症及新生儿窒息等。而呼吸衰竭、新生儿休克、多器官衰竭则是引起早产儿预后不良的重要因素。 结论 :早产原因以母体因素为主,故加强孕期保健,积极防治母亲的有关并发症,同时提高新生儿急救水平,早期干预,以提高早产儿的生存质量。Abstract: Objective: To exploere the ways of promoting the survival rate and the quality of life in premature infants. Methods :The clinical data on 228 cases of premature infants treated by neonatal wards were analyzed retrospectivelly. Results : The important factors of premature are cholestasis of pregnancy syndrome, premature rupture of membbranes, and hypertemsion in prefnancy. The commom diseases in premature infants are neonatal pnecemonia, hyperbilirubinemia and asphxia, the major factors in poor prognasis are caused by neonatal shock, multiple organ failure in premature infants. Conclusion :The main reasons of premature is maternal factors. It is important to strengthen the health care during pregnancy, control the complications of mothers actively, at the same time, improve the level of neonatal first aid, intervent early, so as to imprive the quality of life in preterm infants.
Objective To explore the difference of white matter changes between bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods Patients with bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia were selected from the Mental Health Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University between October 2014 and January 2017. Volunteers were recruited from October 2014 to January 2017. The included patients were divided into bipolar affective disorder group and schizophrenia group according to their diagnosis. Volunteers were divided into normal control group. The bipolar affective disorder group was divided into two subgroups: manic episode and depressive episode. DTI was performed on the included patients and volunteers. Tract based spatial statistics (TBSS) was used to study the differences in fractional anisotropy (FA) of white matter between patients and normal controls, and FA values of two subgroups of bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia were compared. Results A total of 99 patients and 40 normal controls were included in this study. Among them, there were 40 cases in schizophrenia group and 59 cases in bipolar affective disorder group (31 cases of manic episode and 28 cases of depressive episode). Compared with the normal control group, FA values decreased in corpus callosum, fornix, occipital forceps and left inferior longitudinal fasciculus with bipolar affective disorder group and schizophrenia group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in FA values between bipolar affective disorder group and schizophrenia group (P>0.05), but the FA value in left posterior thalamic radiation decreased in depressive episode of bipolar affective disorder group compared with schizophrenia group (P=0.001). Conclusions There are similarities between white matter changes in bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia. However, the white matter change in posterior thalamic radiation may be the characteristic change in depressive episode of bipolar affective disorder.
Objective To evaluate the impact of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization（TACE） on survival and tumor recurrence in patients with primary liver cancer， provide reference of clinical diagnosis and treatment for the primary liver cancer patients. Methods Two hundred and twenty-two cases of primary liver cancer were divided into TACE group （n=110） and control group （n=110）， TACE was performed after operation in the TACE group， convention treatment was performed after operation in the control group. The survival and tumor recurrence rates were compared between the TACE group and control group. Results The 1-， 2-， and 3-year survival rates were 83.64%， 56.36%，and 42.73% in the TACE group， respectively， which were 65.45%， 40.91%， and 21.82% in the control group，respectively. The differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）. The 1-， 2-， and 3-year tumor recurrence rates were 20.91%， 54.55%， and 67.27% in the TACE group， respectively， which were 38.18%， 57.27%， and 70.91% in the control group， respectively. The 1-year tumor recurrence rate in the TACE group was significantly lower than that in the control group （P＜0.05）， but the differences of the 2- and 3-year recurrence rates were not statistically significant（P＞0.05）. Conclusions TACE treatment for primary liver cancer patients can increase long-term survival， but can’tdecrease long-term recurrence.
