Objective To make individualized evidence-based treatment for patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Methods Based on the clinical questions we raised, evidence was collected and critically assessed. Patients’ preferences was also taken into consideration in the decision-making treatment. Results 157 studies were retrieved and finally 15 randomized controlled trials, 14 systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and 1 clinical guidelines were considered eligible. The evidence indicated that the first step in management of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy should aim for stable and optimal glycemic control; there was no statistically significant difference between aldose reductase inhibitors and placebo in the treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy, the same to nerve growth factor; alpha-lipoic acid is superior to placebo in reducing symptoms of diabetic peripheral neuropathy; 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine uptake inhibitor, tricyclic antidepressants and anticonvulsants might alleviate the pain in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy; vitamin B and capsaicin cream are is effective and safe in the management of diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain. The individualized treatment plans were developed based on the available evidence. After 3 month of treatment, the blood sugar returned to normal and symptoms were alleviated. Conclusion The treatment efficacy in diabetic peripheral neuropathy has been improved by determining an individulized treatment plan according to evidence-based methods.

目的:探讨蛋白酶体抑制剂——硼替佐米对初治多发性骨髓瘤的疗效及对移植造血干细胞采集的影响。方法:对一例初发的中年男性多发性骨髓瘤患者使用硼替佐米+地塞米松+反应停(VTD)的方案进行化疗,获得缓解后采集外周血造血干细胞。结果:应用以硼替佐米为基础的方案治疗3个疗程后,患者即获得完全缓解;完成4个疗程化疗后成功采集足够数量的外周血造血干细胞;完成6个疗程化疗后,进入维持治疗,至今已完全缓解17个月。治疗过程中除恶心、呕吐外无其他明显不良反应。结论:硼替佐米用于初治多发性骨髓瘤有良好的治疗效果,不良反应少,不影响造血干细胞采集。
Objective To investigate the effect of tumor associated glycoprotein-72 (TAG-72) redirected T lymphocytes on breast cancer cells. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)were isolated from healthy volunteers. The recombinant vector anti-TAG-72-scFv-CD3ζ-pcDNA 3.0 were transfected into PBMCs by lipofectamineTM2000 (transfection group), PBMCs transfected with plasmid pcDNA 3.0 as control group. MCF-7 and Bcap37 cells were cocultivated with PBMCs of transfection group and control group, respectively, and antitumor response of G1 block was observed. Results G1 block rate of MCF-7 cells in transfection group was (82.3±6.9)%, which was significantly higher than that in control group 〔(43.4±3.9)%, P<0.05〕. G1 block rate of Bcap37 cells in transfection group was (51.3±4.7)%, and not differed from that in control group 〔(45.6±2.5)%, P>0.05〕. Conclusion TAG-72 redirected T lymphocytes can inhibit the cell proliferation of TAG-72 positive breast cancer cells, and it may provide valuable tools for the cellular immunotherapy.
Objective To detect expression of CK20 mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with colorectal carcinoma and its clinical significance. Methods Using the reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),CK20 mRNA expression was examined in peripheral blood from 42 patients with colorectal carcinoma before and after operation, 20 healthy volunteers, 20 fresh colorectal carcinoma samples. Results The positive expression rates of CK20 mRNA were 45.24%(19/42) and 33.33%(14/42) before and after operation in 42 colorectal carcinoma patients respectively. All 20 fresh colorectal carcinoma samples revealed expression of CK20 mRNA, but the 20 normal blood samples did not. Conclusion The detection of CK20 mRNA in peripheral blood is helpful to early diagnose, assess the prognosis and make a correct treatment of colorectal carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo determine the nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with acute cholangitis of severe type (ACST) and correlate the degree of NFkB activation with severity of biliary tract infection and clinical outcome.MethodsTwenty patients with ACST were divided into survivor group (14 cases) and nonsurvivor group (6 cases). Other 10 patients undergoing elective gastrectomy or inguinal hernia repair were selected as control group. Peripheral blood samples were taken 24 hours after operation, PBMC was separated and nuclear proteins were isolated from PBMC, and NFkB was determined with electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA). The levels of TNFα, IL6 and IL10 in plasma were determined by using an enzymelinked immunoassay (ELISA). ResultsThe NFkB activity was 5.02±1.03, 2.98±0.51 and 1.02±0.34 respectively in three groups. It was increased in all patients with ACST, versus the control group (P<0.05), and the patients of nonsurvivor group had higher levels of NFkB activation than those of survivor group (P<0.05). The levels of TNFα and IL6 were (496.28±52.35) ng/L and (578.13±67.72) ng/L in nonsurvivor group; (284.47±39.41) ng/L and (318.67±34.92) ng/L in survivor group; (89.43±10.39) ng/L and (101.27±13.47) ng/L in control group. All patients with ACST had increased levels of TNFα and IL6, which were many fold greater than that of control group, and there was an evidence of significantly higher levels in nonsurvivor group than in survivor group (P<0.05). All patients had also increased levels of IL10 as compared to control group (P<0.05), but the IL10 concentrations in plasma were not significantly higher in nonsurvivors than that of in those survivors (Pgt;0.05). ConclusionNFkB activation in PBMCs in patients with ACST
