BACKGROUND:Animal and cel studies have shown that the Kidney Recipe can prevent and treat osteoporosis and improve bone metabolism, but this recipe is complicated. Recent studies on compound Chinese medicine mainly focused on serum drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, which has limitations, and the effective ingredient and pharmaceutical material basis are uncertain. OBJECTIVE:In the different concentrations and time, by using different compatibility proportion of active ingredients of Kidney Recipe, osteoblasts from neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to culture intervention. The proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts were determined so as to identify time-effect and dose-effect relationship of Kidney Recipe on osteoblasts and to provide experimental evidences for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. METHODS:Primary neonatal 24-hour osteoblasts of Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured in vitro. Herbs“tonic”and“cathartic”active chemical components of different proportion were used. The experiment contained three groups:Tonics Medicine (T)>Cathartic Medicine (C) group, TC group and TC group (P<0.05). At mass concentration of 20μg/L, no significant difference was detected in the T>C and TC group (P<0.05), and the proliferation became weak at 72 hours. At mass concentration of 10μg/L and 72 hours of culture, alkaline phosphatase secretion could be promoted in the T>C group. At mass concentration of 20μg/L and 24 hours of culture, the promoting effect on alkaline phosphatase secretion was most significant in the TC group (P<0.05). Results confirm that active ingredients of Kidney Recipe compatibility proportion can promote osteoblasts proliferation and differentiation most strongly in the T>C group in the time-effect and the dose-effect relationship.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have the chemotaxis and homing role that promotes immune system reconstruction, eliminate residual lesions and prevent recurrence in patients.
OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation into high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma animal models on metastatic potential of high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma.
METHODS:Nude mouse models of high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma were established in vivo. In the experimental group, 5×105 cells were injected via the tail vein on day 7 after tumor inoculation, twice a week. In the control group, cellculture medium, 0.2 mL per mouse, was injected by the tail vein. After the start of the experiment, tumor volume was measured every 4 days. After tumor inoculation for 14 days, 21 days, 28 days, 35 days, 42 days, animal models were sacrificed, and then tumor mass and body mass were recorded to calculate the inhibition rate. PCR was employed to detect osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, and integrinα Ⅴ mRNA expression, as wel as bcl-2, bax, caspase3 mRNA expression.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The inhibition rate of tumor mass showed the best results in week 3. As time went on, the tumor inhibition rate was gradual y decreased. Metastasis-related biological factors showed a gradual down-regulated trend, indicating the polarization of tumor apoptotic indexes, that is, anti-apoptotic factor, bcl-2, showed a decreasing trend, while apoptotic factors, bax and caspase3, appeared to have a gradual y increased trend. These findings suggest that human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells effects to inhibit high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma animal models appear to vary with time. After human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells transplantation for 3 weeks, the inhibition performance on high-metastatic potential hepatocellular carcinoma is the best, and then it weakens with time. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are found to inhibit the metastatic potential of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective:To explore the value of digital information line mark coplanar template (also referred to as the line mark template) in 125I radioactive seed implantation for the treatment of lung cancers. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted for 58 cases of lung cancers who were treated with template-assisted seed implantation in Oncology Department of the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from Aug 2017 to May 2019.Line mark templates were adopted for 30 cases (the line mark template group) and general standard coplanar templates (also referred to as the general template) were used for 28 cases (the general template group). Pre-plan and post-implant parameters were compared, including the minimum prescription dose delivered to 90% of target volume ( D90), minimum peripheral dose (MPD), mean percentages of volume receiving 100%, 150% and 200% of the prescription doses ( V100, V150 and V200), external index (EI), conformity index (CI), and homogeneity index (HI) of target volume.The operation duration was also compared between the two groups. Results:There was no statistical difference between pre-plan and post-implant D90, MPD, V100, V150 and V200 in the line mark template group ( P>0.05). There was also no statistical difference between pre-plan and post-implant D90, MPD, V100, V150 and V200 of the general template group ( P>0.05). The operation duration of the line mark template group and the general template group was (44.3±12.4) and (60.0±12.8) min, respectively ( t=-3.03, P<0.05). Conclusions:The use of template-assisted seed implantation can accurately achieve preoperative planning, while the line mark template shortens the operation duration and thus improves the tolerance of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the pre- and post-implantation dosimetric consistency and efficacy of CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation for the treatment of the local recurrence of lung cancers under the assistance of a universal coplanar template (also referred to as the universal template). Methods:This study involved 38 patients with a local recurrence of non-small cell lung cancers who received universal template-assisted 125I radioactive seed implantation in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from Jan 2009 to Dec 2015.Preoperative planning was carried out before implantation, and the prescription dose was 110 Gy.The paired T-test was adopted for cooperation between intraoperative verification result and pre-plan values of the dosimetric parameters including minimum peripheral dose (MPD), the minimum prescription doses delivered to 90% and 100% of the target volume ( D90 and D100), conformity index (CI), external index (EI), and homogeneity index (HI). The efficacy was evaluated at the 6th month after implantation according to the RECIST 1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors). Results:All patients successively received the seed implantation.The pre-plan and post-implant dosimetric parameters were as follows: MPD (222.7±26.2), (227.74±29.8) Gy; D90(130.8±13.6), (134.8±12.8) Gy; D100 (106.4±10.6), (110.7±11.8) Gy, CI ( 0.75±0.06), (0.74±0.04), EI(22.7±5.8)%, (24.3±4.8)%; HI(36.8±4.7)%, (37.2±5.3)%, the mean irradiation dose of hearts (19.3±7.2), (21.3±6.8) Gy( P> 0.05). The median follow-up period was 22.5 months (8-98 months). The median survival was 21 months (95% CI, 7.4-34.6), and the 2-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local control (LC) rate were 47.4%, 39.5%, and 83.5%, respectively. Conclusions:The universal template-assisted and CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation in the treatment of postoperative local recurrence of non-small cell lung cancers can achieve the goal of the preoperative TPS planning during the operation and achieve good efficacy.It is a minimally invasive, accurate, safe and effective therapy.
