1.Treatment of malignant gliomas with stem cells mediated oncolytic adenovirus
Journal of International Oncology 2011;38(11):833-835
Oncolytic adenoviruses are genetically altered to replicate within tumor cella while exhibiting a high degree of infectivity,good safety and specificity.The use of oncolytic adenoviruses to treat malignant brain tumors has been proved to be a promising mode of cancer therapy.Local injection of adenoviral vectors fails to reach scattered infiltrative tumor cells within the brain parenchyma and the therapeutic effect of intracereberal injections of oncolytic adenoviruses is only seen in the vicinity of the injection site.To remedy this and prevent possible tumor recurrence,stem cells have been explored as vehicles for gene therapy in brain tumors given that they possess an intrinsic tropism for brain glioma.
2.Advances in oncolytic adenovirus-loaded mesenchymal stem cells for treating tumors
Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology 2014;46(4):266-268
Oncolytic adenoviruses have been used in cancer gene therapy because of their ability to selectively transfect and repli-cate in tumor cells. However, systemically administering oncolytic adenoviruses is often inefficient because the host's immunity also at-tacks the viruses. Delivering oncolytic adenoviruses by loading them into mesenchymal stem cells effectively solves this problem. Mes-enchymal stem cells have been described to possess a tumor-homing ability, as well as the capacity to deliver oncolytic adenoviruses. This review discusses the current challenges faced by oncolytic adenovirus delivery via mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To explore the feasibility and reasonable of low-dose scan on abdominal angiography in 64-slice spiral helical CT. Methods Phantom test: at 120 KV and from 200 mAs to 30 mAs at an interval of 10 mAs in each image acquisition, it was measured standard deviation (SD) of CT number, high contrast resolution and low contrast resolution, and then analyzed the relationship between the three parameters and the mAs values. Three mAs values were chosen to undertake clinical analysis.Clinical analysis: 90 randomly selected objects with abdominal angiography were divided into three groups,scanning with above three mAs values.Measurement of the SD value at the plain scan images was performed and the enhanced low-dose scan images were used post-processing with three-dimensional volume reconstruction (VR). The VR images were classified into three grades (excellent, moderate, bad) with the blind evaluation of three CT radiologists. The quality-correlation analysis was used between the standard deviation (SD) values of plain scan image and abdominal angiography VR image. Results According to the quality-correlation analysis between the standard deviation (SD) value of plain scan image and abdominal angiography VR image, the area under curve in receiver-operated characteristic (ROC) analysis was 0.921, 0.906 and 0.893 in each three group, respectively. Conclusions The low-dose scan of abdominal angiography is feasible. 80mAs can ensure better image quality. The enhanced scan probably can use 60mAs when the SD value is less than 5.78 in the plain scan; but when the SD value of plain scan is greater than 11.8, the enhanced scan is used best 100 mAs or higher.

Objective Toinvestigatetheapplicativevalueof3D-DSAandheadMRIorCTfusion technology for guiding the individualized treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM ). Methods Twenty-onepatientswithAVMdiagnosedwithDSAattheDepartmentofNeurosurgery,Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Command from January 2015 to May 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients performed DSA,MRI,and CT scan respectively before procedure,and they also performed 3 D-DSA and MRI or CT fusion. Of the 21 patients,15 performed MRI and 3D-DSA fusion,6 performed CT and 3D-DSA fusion. According to the image fusion results of the patients,the individualized treatment regimens were further developed,including microsurgical resection,endovascular embolization,and stereotactic radiotherapy (alone or combined treatment). The patients were followed up and observed for 2 to 6 months after procedure.Results Fromthe3D-DSAwithheadMRIorCTfusionimagesofthepatientsbeforetheprocedure not only could observe the vascular architecture of AVM,the relationship between the niduses and the surrounding nerve structures,but also could precisely locate the positions of AVM with small aneurysms or tiny AVMs. According to the results of image fusion,17 patients with AVM were treated with microsurgical resection,2 were treated with interventional embolization and stereotactic radiotherapy,and 2 were treated with stereotactic radiotherapy only. Of the 17 patients with AVM underwent microsurgical resection, none experienced intracranial rebleeding during the follow-up period. The last Glasgow outcome scale (GOS)score was 5 in 13 cases,and 4 in 4 cases. One patient with AVM underwent combined stereotactic radiotherapy had intracranial rebleeding during the follow-up period,and their last GOS score was 4. The other remaining 3 patients did not have new neurological deficits or rebleeding during the follow-up period,and theirGOSscorewas5.Conclusions 3D-DSA,headMRI,andCTfusiontechnologyarenovel, the operative method is simple,and the fusion image is accurate. They can effectively develop the individualized treatment regimens for patients with AVM.

Objective To investigate the preoperative and intraoperative assessed values of the color-coded digital subtraction angiography (DSA ) for intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Methods Fifteen patients with AVM performed preoperative routine whole brain DSA were analyzed retrospectively,and the iFlow software was used to perform color-coded DSA of image post-processing. A comprehensive analysis such as the range of lesions,vascular architecture and hemodynamics of AVM was conducted on the two-dimensional DSA images and color-coded DSA. Results Of the 15 patients with AVM,9 were small-sized (including 4 nidi showed diffuse type),3 were medium-sized,and 3 were large-sized;8 patients had single feeding artery,and 7 had multiple feeding arteries;11 had single draining vein,and 4 had multiple draining veins. When showing the size of AVM nidus,particularly diffuse type nidus, the color-coded DSA was clearer than the two-dimensional image. The color-coded DSA could visually display the traveling of the superficial and deep draining veins,at the same time,the primary and secondary draining veins could be identified according to the size of the area under the curve and the full width at half maximum,and intuitively reflected the complete cycle of cerebral blood flow. Conclusion The color-coded DSA can quickly and accurately depict the range of AVM,angioarchitecture features and intraoperative hemodynamic changes.
