  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global disease that is in increasing incidence. The gut, which contains the largest amount of lymphoid tissue in the human body, as well as a wide range of nervous system components, is integral in ensuring intestinal homeostasis and function. By interacting with gut microbiota, immune cells, and the enteric nervous system, the intestinal barrier, which is a solid barrier, protects the intestinal tract from the external environment, thereby maintaining homeostasis throughout the body. Destruction of the intestinal barrier is referred to as developing a "leaky gut," which causes a series of changes relating to the occurrence of IBD. Changes in the interactions between the intestinal barrier and gut microbiota are particularly crucial in the development of IBD. Exploring the leaky gut and its interaction with the gut microbiota, immune cells, and the neuroimmune system may help further explain the pathogenesis of IBD and provide potential therapeutic methods for future use.

  • Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced anemia (CIA) is one of the most important causes of anemia in cancer patients. This study was conducted to describe the prevalence and characteristics of CIA in solid cancer patients in the Chinese population, and to explore the relationship of white blood cell (WBC) or platelet decrease with CIA. Methods: Data on age, gender, tumor diagnosis, anti-cancer treatment and blood cell analyses were available from 220 untreated non-anemic cancer patients who received at least 2 cycles of chemotherapy, and the data were analyzed to assess their relationship with CIA or its severity. Results: 139 patients (63.2%) presented anemia, most being Grade 1 or 2. Esophageal and lung cancers were associated with a high prevalence. G3/4 leucopenia and decrease of platelets were identified as independent risk factors for the occurrence of CIA. Moreover, G3/4 leucopenia, decrease of platelet and G3/4 thrombocytopenia were found to be also associated with the severity of CIA. Cisplatin-containing regimens were a main potential factor in causing CIA, although significant association was only found on univariate analysis. Conclusion: Anemia or decrease in hematoglobin are common in Chinese cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Cisplatin-containing regimens might be an important factor influencing the occurrence of CIA. Our analysis firstly described some risk factors, such as decrease of platelets or WBCs, severity of leucopenia or thrombocytopenia, associated with the occurrence and severity of CIA.

Study on Structural Relationship of Medical Information Quality, Usability, Attitude and Satisfaction of Hospital Web site According to Medical Examination and Treatment Subjects (진료과목에 따른 병원 웹사이트의 의료정보 품질과 사용성, 태도, 만족의 구조적 관계에 관한 연구)

  • The Internet marketing of hospital is being considered as a strategic requirement that can satisfy the customers. Therefore, it is very important to understand the effects of the medical information on the Internet on the actual consumers. In this study, the paths through which the attitude and satisfaction of the medical information consumers that visit hospital web site are formed for the medical information through the quality of the medical information on the Internet and usability of hospital web site were examined respectively according to the medical examination and treatment subjects that respectively deal with medical acts and cosmetic acts through light metabolism recovery. The usability of hospital web site, rather than medical information quality, had positive effects on the attitudes toward the medical information distributed in the corresponding web site and the satisfaction of use of hospital web site in the case of visitors of the hospital web site for the medical examination and treatment subjects of essential medical examination and treatment and emergency medical treatment, and, on the other hand, the result of analyzing the path of the medical examination and treatment subjects of cosmetics and functional improvement revealed that the medical information quality had positive effects on the medical information attitudes and the usage satisfaction of hospital web site. Accordingly, the attitudes toward the medical information distributed through the web site by the visitors of hospital web site is formed from the quality of medical information and web site usability, and, ultimately, they become generally satisfied with the hospital web site. Such process is revealed different1y according to the medical examination and treatment subjects for which consumers desire to obtain information.

  • Lung cancer is one of the most significant malignancies, with both high morbidity and mortality. CDK10 is closely related to cancer progression and metastasis. However, its role in lung cancer radioresistance demands further clarification. In this study, we demonstrated that CDK10 was downregulated in lung cancer tissues, and CDK10 expression level was associated with the clinical prognosis in lung cancer patients. We also found that silencing CDK10 promoted lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and radioresistance. We further verified that silencing CDK10 facilitated the activation of JNK/c-Jun signaling, and c-Jun depletion could reverse the effects of CDK10 knockdown in lung cancer cells. Our findings revealed that CDK10 plays an important role in cell growth and radioresistance by inhibiting JNK/c-Jun signaling pathway in lung cancer. Therefore, CDK10 might be a promising therapeutic target in lung cancer.

  • In this research, by confirming the path relation between the patient's perceived quality of the medical service and their revisit intent, and by investigating the adjustment effect of the customer's trust of the hospital between the quality of the medical service and the image of the hospital and the revisit intent, this research has the objective of presenting basic data and documentation for the establishment of both a positive hospital image to medical care customers and also a differentiated medical service marketing strategy. The deduced results of the research are as follows. First, the quality of medical service was shown to have a significant influence on the image of the hospital, and second, the quality of medical service was shown to have a significant influence on the revisit intent, but only on certain dimensions. Third, it could be confirmed that there was a partial adjustment effect on the customer's trust of the hospital from the relationship between the revisit intent and the image of the hospital and its quality of the medical service. Finally, it was confirmed that the image of a hospital had a very significant influence on the revisit intent.
