1.Application and progress of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of pediatric tumors
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(8):793-797
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), featuring as no ionizing radiation, higher soft tissue resolution and multiplanar imaging, has been widely used in the diagnosis of pediatric tumors. Conventional MRI techniques mainly provide information on morphological information of tumors but cannot display physiological and pathological changes in tumors. In recent years, with rapid development of MRI hardware and software, some functional MRI technologies have been applied in clinical practice and have become an important trend on pediatric oncology. These techniques include perfusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, susceptibility weighted imaging. These new technologies can demonstrate the microstructural information of tumors, which will provide more helpful information for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in pediatric tumors when combined with conventional MRI techniques.

Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2000;0(11):-
Objective To explore the effect of estradiol benzoate on the expressions of heat shock protein (HSP)70, 90 in endometrial glandular epithelial cell. Methods Normal endometrial glandular epithelial cells were isolated, and cultured by enzymolysis method and identified by electron microscopy and immunohistochemical analysis. The normal endometrial glandular epithelial cells were treated with culture medium only, estradiol benzoate (10 -9 , 10 -8 , 10 -7 or 10 -6 mol/L), estradiol benzoate(10 -9 , 10 -8 , 10 -7 or 10 -6 mol/L) and antiestrogen ICI 182780(fulvestrant,faslodex, 1?mol/L)and ICI 182780 only for 6, 12, 18, 24 hours respectively. The dose-and time-related effect of estradiol benzoate and ICI 182780 on the cell growth was measured by mononuclear cell direct cytotoxicity assay (methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay), and that on the expression of HSP70 and HSP90 in normal endometrial glandular epithelial cell in vitro was measured by immunohistochemical analysis and computerized image analysis system. Results Estradiol benzoate stimulated cell growth in a time-and dose-dependent manner and the effect was attenuated by the antiestrogen ICI 182780. The average cell growth rates of 10 -9 , 10 -8 , 10 -7 , 10 -6 mol/L estradiol benzoate for 24 hours were(170?9)%,(207?11)%,(231?12)%,(257?10)%, which were significantly higher than those of 6 hours (117?13)%, (129?10)%, (146?10)%, (176?6)%, P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of pull through technique in the treatment of middle or low rectal cancer.MethodsRetrospective study was made on 101 patients of rectal cancer undergoing pull through resection in terms of the safety and efficacy. The technique was in brief to make coloanal anastomosis through an everted rectal stump, and pull back the proximal colon into the pelvic cavity. ResultsAll postoperative patients were followed up from 5 to 10 years. Normal or good fecal continence was achieved in 87% (88/101) of the patients, fair in 7 9%(8/101), and poor in 4 9%(5/101). Anastomotic fistula developed in 5 patients (4 9%), and local recurrence rate was 15%. The 5, and 10 year survival rates were 64% and 58%, respectively. ConclusionsColoanal anastomosis provides effective treatment for middle and low rectal cancer with a satisfactory long term survival rate and quality of life.

Objective To investigate whether monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 mediates lupus nephritis (LN) in BXSB mice and whether methylprednisolone ameliorates LN by inhibiting MCP-1 expression. Methods 18-week-old male BXSB mice (n=6) displaying clinical symptoms of glomerulonephritis were treated (i.p.) for 3 weeks with MPS (25 mg?kg-1?d-1) dissolved in N.S. BXSB controls were age-and sex-matched BXSB mice (n=6) that received N.S. alone. Age- and sex-matched BALB/C mice (n=6) were used as normal controls that were treated in the same way as the BXSB controls. MCP-1 expression was investigated by RT-PCR and immunohistochemical examination. The heaviness of proteinuria was also evaluated. Medical imaging analysis was performed to detect the relationship between MCP-1 expression and proteinuria. Results MCP-1 was strongly expressed in kidneys of all BXSB mice, stronger staining was found in cytoplasm of tubular epithelial cells than glomerular, while no expression was found in kidneys of BALB/C mice. MCP-1 expression in tubular cells in BXSB control group was closely correlated with proteinuria. MPS significantly reduced proteinuria and MCP-1 expression and down-regulation of MCP-1 expression in tubular cells was also closely correlated with that of proteinuria. Conclusion MCP-1 over-expression may mediate LN in BXSB. MPS ameliorates LN partially by inhibiting MCP-1 expression.

Objective To research the early effect and side effect on the radiotherapy of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patient using IMRT compared with conventional radiotherapy. Methods Seventy eight nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients were divided into IMRT group (38 patients) and conventional radiotherapy group (40 patients). After CT-sim, the radiation oncologist and physician delineated the outline of GTV, CTV, parotid gland, spinal cord and brain stem. The receiving volume of parotid, spinal cord and PTV was respectively calculated by using inversing plan. Face-neck, supracalvicular field, amte-aural field and postaural field were adopted to receive electrons during conventional radiotherapy. Seven to nine conformal fields including 80-100 sub-fields were adopted during IMRT. The reaction of skin, parotid (xerostomia) and oral mucosa were recorded during radiotherapy. Results The nasopharyngeal and para-nasopharyngeal lesions regressed completely after radiotherapy. The volume received by the parotid, spinal cord and PTV was 30%?4.8, 56%?6.7, 95%?8.6, 92%?8.1 respectively in IMRT group, and 98%?9.4, 56%?10.7, 100%?9.7, 99%?9.5 respectively in conventional radiotherapy group. The received volume of parotid in IMRT group was significantly lower than in conventional radiotherapy group. The reaction of skin was grade I in IMRT group and grade II, III in conventional radiotherapy group. The reaction of parotid (xerostomia) was grade I and II in IMRT group and grade II and III in conventional radiotherapy group. The reaction of oral mucosa was grade I to II in IMRT group and grade II and III in conventional radiotherapy group. The reactions of skin and parotid (xerostomia) were lighter in IMRT group compared with those in conventional radiotherapy group. The time of radiotherapy was 45?4.4 days in IMRT group and 51?5.3 days in conventional radiotherapy group respectively. Conclusion The radiotherapy using IMRT regime can decrease the reaction of parotid (xerostomia) and skin to complete the radiotherapy course of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Moreover, it can increase the life quality in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients after radiotherapy and also shorten the time of radiotherapy.
