Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in an elderly patient with renal dysfunction: a case report.

Objective: This study was performed to examine the treatment regimen used for an elderly patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) complicated with renal dysfunction.

Case Report: An 85-year-old man presented with nasal and sinus disorders in May 2018. He was also found to have renal insufficiency caused by long-term consumption of compound aminopyrine phenacetin tablets.

Associations between aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) rs671 genetic polymorphisms, lifestyles and hypertension risk in Chinese Han people.

Hypertension is a multiple factor disease which was influenced by gene, environment, and lifestyle. Several studies confirmed that the ALDH2 rs671 polymorphism is associated with hypertension. However, the evidence remains inconclusive.

miR-513a-3p sensitizes human lung adenocarcinoma cells to chemotherapy by targeting GSTP1.

Cisplatin is a classic chemotherapy agent used for treating human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, cisplatin resistance is a challenge against successful clinical use. Glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) has been reported to contribute to cisplatin resistance in many studies.

Simvastatin protects against the development of monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension in rats via a heme oxygenase-1-dependent pathway.

Heme oxygease-1 (HO-1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in heme catabolism. Induction of HO-1 has been shown to have vasodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and proapoptotic effects. More recently, experimental studies suggested the potential of simvastatin as a novel therapy for pulmonary hypertension (PH); however, the underlying mechanism remains to be investigated.

[Comparison of lung function measurement values with two different apparatus].

This paper introduces a random measurement analysis of, lung function measurement values with two different apparatus. in 41 patients. It shows that the differences are not statistically significant (P>0.

[An experimental study of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) DNAzyme on growth of A549/DDP cells].

Background: Telomerase expresses in many cancers and may contribute to drug-resistance. The aim of this study is to observe the effect of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) DNAzyme on growth of A549/DDP cells and to explore the possibility of telomerase as a new target in treatment of drug resistance for lung cancer.

Methods: An hTERT DNAzyme was composed.

[The quantitative detection of anti-coronavirus antibody titer in medical personnel closely contacted with severe acute respiratory syndrome patients].

Objective: To study the serum anti-coronavirus antibody titer in medical personnel who had closely contacted with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) patients.

Methods: The serum anti-coronavirus IgG antibody titer in medical personnel who had closely contacted with SARS patients, healthy individuals, patients with community acquired pneumonia and patients recovered from SARS was detected by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. The antibody titer was expressed as the value of absorbency (A) with common logarithm conversion.

[Efficacy and safety of cefditoren pivoxil in treatment of respiratory infections, a clinical study].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cefditoren pivoxil in treatment of respiratory infections.

Methods: 199 cases of respiratory infection confirmed by etiological and clinical examinations were treated with cefditoren pivoxil tablets taken orally. Therapeutic evaluation was conducted among 196 cases and safety evaluation was conducted among 199 cases.

[A clinical study of ProGRP as a new tumor marker for small cell lung cancer].

Background: To evaluate the significance of progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) as a new tumor marker for small cell lung cancer (SCLC)..

Methods: Fifty-five patients with pathologically proved SCLC were initially treated and retrospectively studied, in which the level of serum ProGRP was tesed in various situations and its relationship with tumor stage and therapeutic effects was observed.
