Objective To investigate the effect of treatment with transplanted bone marrow mononuclear cells under different transplant paths on neovascularization in ischemic cerebral infarction rats. Methods The MCAO models were established by intraluminal vascular suture method. All the successful models were randomly divided into control group, intravenous transplantation group and subarachnoid transplantation group according to the random number table. The Extraction,isolation and culture of bone marrow mononuclear cells were extracted,i?solated and cultured. The models in the control group were injected 200μl PBS through the femoral vein. The mod?els in the intravenous transplantation group were injected 200μl containing 2×107 bone marrow mononuclear cells through the femoral vein. The models in the subarachnoid transplantation group were injected 200μl containing 2× 107 bone marrow mononuclear cells through the subarachnoid. The VEGF levels in cerebrospinal fluid of rats were detected using quantitative ELISA method. The vascular regenerations in the infarct area were observed by using quantitative immunofluorescence. Results After transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells 7 d,14 d and 28 d,the VEGF levels of rat cerebrospinal fluid in subarachnoid transplantation group were (207.4±8.9)pg/ml, (171.2±10.3)pg/ml and (143.8±13.8)pg/ml,respectively,which were all higher than the VEGF levels in intra?venous transplantation group,the differences were all statistically significant (P<0.05). After transplantation 14 d and 28 d,the BrdU?positive cells in subarachnoid transplantation group were ( 2043. 8 ± 514. 2) and ( 1834. 8 ± 307.4) ,respectively,which were higher than the intravenous transplantation group,the differences were all statisti?cally significant (P<0.05). The microvessel counts in subarachnoid transplantation group were (384.6±45.1) and (514.8±51.3),respectively,which were higher than that in the intravenous transplantation group,and the differ?ences were all statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusions Bone marrow mononuclear cells transplantation can increase VEGF secretion,and promote angiogenesis infarct. The effect of subarachnoid transplantation is better.

[Abstra ct] Objective To investigate the long-term efficacy and adverse effects of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods A total of 869 patients with biopsy-proven NPC without distant metastasis who underwent the whole course of IMRT from 2009 to 2010 were enrolled.Of all the patients, 84.8%received cisplatin-based chemotherapy.The prescribed dose to the primary lesion in the nasopharynx was 66-70Gy in 30-32 fractions, and the dose to the positive lymph nodes in the neck was 66 Gy in 30-32 fractions.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates, the log-rank test was used for difference analysis and univariate prognostic analysis , and the Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis .Rseu lts The 5-year overall survival( OS ) , local recurrence-free survival, regional recurrence-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival, and disease-free survival ( DFS ) were 84.0%, 89.7%, 94.5%, 85.6%, and 76.3%, respectively.In the patients with locally advanced NPC,concurrent chemotherapy tended to reduce distant metastasis (83.6%vs.75.7%, P=0.050) and improve OS (82.6%vs.77.0 %, P=0.082).Induction chemotherapy tended to improve OS ( 80.7% vs.71.4%, P=0.057 ) , and the induction chemotherapy containing docetaxel or gemcitabine tended to improve OS (83.3%vs.72.2%, P=0.058).The patients who received a boost after the initial radiotherapy had a significantly lower DFS rate than those who did not (52.2%vs.71.1%, P=0.004).The concurrent chemotherapy increased the incidence rates of long-term xerostomia and trismus, while a high dose of cisplatin increased the incidence rates of xerostomia and hearing impairment.Conclusions IMRT for NPC provides satisfactory long-term efficacy.Concurrent chemotherapy combined with IMRT tends to reduce the incidence of distant metastasis, and other values need further investigation.The boost therapy after radiotherapy may be associated with poor prognosis.Chemotherapy increases the incidence of long-term toxicities.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of pramipexole combined with madopar in treating patients with Parkison diseases and its influence on quality of life.Methods Totally 90 patients with Parkison diseases were selected and divided into experimental group and control group.Patients in control group were treated with madopar,while patients in experimental group were treated with the combination of madopar and pramipexole.The UPDRS and HAMD were used to evaluate the mental conditions of patients,and the adverse reactions and the clinical efficacy were evaluated.Results The clinical effective rate of the experimental group was significantly better than control group,HAMD value of experimental group was significantly lower than control group,and UPDRS values were significantly higher than control group.There was no significant difference of the adverse reactions between the two groups.Conclusion The combination of madopar and pramipexole can effectively improve the clinical syndrome and quality of life in patients with Parkinson diseases.
