Objective To investigate the impact of auto and allogenic mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) transplantation on hematopoietic reconstitution. Methods MSC from auto, donor bone marrow or embryonic tissue were cultured and expanded in vitro in the serum culture system. Five patients received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) were investigated. Case 1 of systemic lupus erythematosus and Case 2 of non-hodgkin' s lymphoma (NHL) received auto MSC transplant before auto-HSCT. Case 3 of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria received HLA-identical allogenic MSC transplant before HLA-identical allo-HSCT.Case 4 of chronic myelocytic leukemia and Case 5 of NHL had delayed hematopoietic reconstitution (129th and 78th day, respectively) after allo- and auto-HSCT, respectively, and received MSC from embryonic tissue.Results Case 1, 2 and 3 had no manifested side effects after MSC transplantation combined with HSCT.Neutrophil count of case 1, 2, and 3 were over 0.5 ×109/L at 1st, 10th and 10th day, respectively, platelet count were over 20 ×109/L at 1st, 8th and 33th day, respectively, and agranulocytosis at Ost, 7th and 12th day, respectively. The treatment of embryonic tissue MSC transplant was confirmed to fail for Case 4 and 5.Conclusion The time of MSC transplant has a great impact on hematopoietic reconstitution. MSC transplantation and HSCT performed simultaneously can improve hematopoietic reconstitution. However, the impact of MSC on patients with delayed hematopoietic reconstitution after HSCT needs further study.

Objective To compare Th1/Th2 drift situation in patients with lymphoma with that in patients with solid tumors, and establish the effective immune function detectable criterion of lymphoma in biological treatment process. Methods The whole blood samples of 10 patients with lymphoma, 202 patients with solid tumors including 36 patients with upper digestive tract cancer, 64 colorectal cancer, 43 lung cancer and 20 the other malignancies, and 30 healthy persons as controls were collected. Stimulation agent was used to stimulate the cells in order to increase cell factor expression and fluorescent labeled specific anti-cytokine monoclonal antibody was used to bind with specific antigen. The expression of specific cytokines was detected by flow cytometry. Results Positive percentages of IFN- γ and IL-4 and ratio of IFN- γ /IL-4 in CD+4 T cells of human peripheral blood had statistically differences between in patients with lymphoma and controls (P < 0.05). The ratio of Thl/Th2 (CD+4 intracellular cytokine INF-α/IL-4) in patients with lymphoma was lower than that in patients with upper digestive tract cancers (esophagus and stomach cancers) (P = 0.023), however, had no statistical differences with that in patients with other solid tumors (colorectal, lung, kidney, breast and other tumors), but had a downward trend. Conclusion Immune functions in patients with lymphoma are lower than those in patients with solid tumors and immune treatment is a necessary to adjuvant chemotherapy. The ratio of Th1/Th2 (INF- α/IL-4) is expected to become effective detection criterion.

Objective To detect the expression of osteopontin (OPN) in cervical local tissues of patients with chronic cervicitis, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), cervical cancer. To investigate the possibility that OPN is used as tumor marker of cervical cancer. Methods The expression of OPN in 25 cases of chronic cervicitis, 18 cases of CIN and 21 cases of cervical cancer was detected by immuohistochemistry SP method. Results The positive expression rates of OPN in the chronic cervicitis, CIN and the cervical cancer had a rising trend (48 %, 77.78 % and 80.95 %, respectively) and their differences had statistical significant (P <0.05). The OPN expression level in cervical cancer had no statistical correlation with age, tumor size, clinical stage and other clinical pathological features (P >0.05). Although OPN expression level in cervical cancer wasn' t related with tumor clinical stage, positive expression rates of OPN had a gradually increased trend along with the clinical stage. Conclusion High expression of OPN is found in cervical cancer and may be related to the occurrence and development of cervical cancer.

Objective To compare the differences of target-volume(PTV) coverage and organ at risk (OAR) protection between three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) for patients with pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. To explore the optimal treatment methods for pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer.Methods 10 patients with pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer underwent radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were selected for this study. The images scanned by CT were transferred to treatment planning system to generate 3DCRT and IMRT plans. The impacts of 3DCRT on PTV were compared with those of IMRT. Isodose line and dose volume histograms(DVH) were used to evaluate to the dose-distribution in PTV and OAR. Results For 95 % confidence interval, the margin from CTV to PTV was 1 cm. Conformal indexs (CIs) of PTV for 3, 4, 5 and 6 fields 3DCRT were 0.46, 0.67, 0.68 and 0.68, respectively. When beyond 4 fields, the advantage of adding fields was not significant. CIs of PTV for 5, 7, 9, 11 and 13 fields IMRT were 0.75, 0.83 0.84, 0.85 and 0.85, respectively. When beyond 9 fields, the advantage of adding fields was not significant. The maximum dose of the bowl and spine cord in IMRT plans were lower than that in the 3DCRT plans (P <0.05). Maximum dose of OAR had no significant differences (includingt the bone, recttum and bladder) between IMRT and 3DCRT plans. Conclusion For patients with pelvis metastasis of cervical cancer after radical surgery, 4 fields planning in 3DCRT and 9 fields planning in IMRT are feasible. At high dose levels, the IMRT plans can more significantly protect the bowl and spine cord and decrease the radiation volume of colorectal and urinary bladder at risk than 3DCRT, so IMRT may potentially diminish probability of the normal tissue complications.

Objective To explore the effect of radio frequency ablation (RFA) combined with transcatherterarterial chemo embolization (TACE) and percutaneous puncture hydrochloric acid injection(PHI) for hepatic tumors unable to resection. Methods The clinical data of 40 cases of patients with unable resection liver cancer (URLC) treated by RFA combined with TACE and PEI were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 30 cases of primary hepatic tumor(PHT) and 10 cases of metastasis hepatic tumor(MPT) , in this series. Examination of ultrasound, CT and MRI showed the tumors shrink or steady in 39 patients.Among 30 patients with damage by ethanol, 18 cases were AFP positive before treatment and 16 cases of them AFP decreased to normal level after operation. No severe complication was seen in the series. Conclusion RFA combined with TACE and PEI is a safe, well tolerable and effective method for hepatic cancer, and may improve the treatment efficacy of URLC.

Conclusion The over expressions of Survivin and MMP-9 are related to genesis and development of ovarian cancer.

Objective To analyze the disposition characteristic of LGT fingerprints and the related fingerprints for advanced gastric carcinoma patients when the LGT fingerprints changing. Methods SELDI and CM10 protein chip was used to detect the serum protein fingerprints of 81 cased of advanced gastric cancer patients. After 1 year follow-up, all the patients were detected by SELDI again. According to the expression condition of LGT fingerprints, the patients were divided into 4 groups: A group(LGT changing from negative to positive) 25 cases, B group (LGT changing from positive to negative) 15 cases, C group (LGT fingerprints keeping negative) 29 cases and D group (LGT fingerprints keeping positive) 12 cases. The influencing factor should be rejected. And the remaining fingerprints were LGT fingerprints' subtypes and therelated fingerprints. The different proteomic fingerprints were analyzed by Biomarker Wizard 3.1 Software.Results After rejecting the influencing fingerprints, the up-regulation fingerprints in A group were 11473, 11821, 11664, 11409, 11552 and 11947 (M/Z), and no down-regulation fingerprints. In B group, 3264 was upregulation, and 6523, 11509, 11669, 11413, 11351 and 6483 were down-regulation. In C and D group, there was not statistically differential protein fingerprint. Conclusion M/Z up-regulating fingerprints including 11473, 11821, 11664, 11409, 11552 and 11947 can be regarded as the subtype of LGT when it changing from negative to positive; down-regulating including 11509, 11669, 11413 and 11351 can be regarded as the subtype of LGT when it changing from positive to negative; 3264 up-regulating and 6523 and 6483 downregulating can be regarded as the related fingerprints when LGT changing from positive to negative; and when LGT keeping negative or positive in patients with advanced gastric cancer, there was no differential protein fingerprints.

Objective To study the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and osteopontin (OPN) in cervical carcinoma and their relationship with invasion and metastasis. Methods The expression of MMP-3 and OPN were detected in 54 cases of cervical cancer tissues by immunohistochemical SP method.
