Mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)locates at the downstream of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B(Akt)cell signal transduction pathway. Studies find that the abnormal activa-tion of this pathway is correlated with the endocrine and drug resistance of anti human epidermal growth factor receptor-2(HER-2)target therapy in breast cancer. The combination with mTOR inhibitors based on the past traditional drugs can block the pathway and reflect a favourable application prospect in preventing the develop-ment of resistance and restoring the initial sensitivity on tumor cells. mTOR inhibitors are expected to be the new hope for the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage(t-SAH), time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors. Method A total of 98 patients,with t -SAH admitted from June 2007 to December 2008, were enrolled for this prospective study. The hemodynamics of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in these patients was monitored with trancranial Doppler (TCD) daily for 7 days after admission and on the 14th day of hospital stay. The incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (t-SAH) ,time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors were analyzed. Results Of them, 41 patients (41.8%) had CVS. The flow velocity of MCA in patients with GCS≤ 8 was significantly higher than that in patients with GCS≥9. Classified by t-SAH cumulative blood Hijdra method, 2(4.44%) of 45 patients(45.9%)with scores 6 or less,9 (29.0%)of 31 patients (37.8%) with scores 6~ 13,and 8 (36.4%) of 22 patients (20.0%)with scores 13 or more had CVS. Severe CVS occurred in 13 (35. 1% )of 37 surgical patients (37.8%), and local cerebral infarction occurred in four surgical patients after symptomatic treatment. The flow velocity of the MCA was significantly higher in surgical patients than that in non-surgical patients 3 days after admission. Conclusions The severity of original trauma, bleeding, location of t-SAH and operation are the major risk factors to lead to CVS in patients with t-SAH. Attention should he paid to those risk factors during the treatment of patients with t-SAH.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most important cause of adult liver transplantation in China. HCC recurrence after liver transplantation is a common clinical problem. It is imperative to explore its metastasis and recurrence mechanism and to develop effective prevention and treatment strategies. This article describes the basic prevention and treatment strategies for recurrent HCC after liver transplantation. During the pre-transplant period, the clinical and pathological information of HCC, such as tumor staging, general morphology, pathological features, tumor markers and tumor molecular biological characteristics, should be collected and analyzed carefully in order to determine the risk of recurrent HCC; Design and implement a comprehensive program of prevention and treatment. Currently, sorafenib and capecitabine are common candidate drugs for prevention and control of recurrence of HCC after liver transplantation. Substitution of m-TOR inhibitors for CNI-like drugs can be used as an immunosuppressive drug to prevent and control recurrence of HCC. HCC recurrence after liver transplantation will significantly reduce the cure rate, but active treatment often can effectively control the progression of the disease and improve the prognosis. However, available effective measures to prevent the progress of HCC can also be used to treat HCC recurrence after liver transplantation. Surgical treatment is preferred for recurrent lesions that can be resected, and local treatment is available for recurrent lesions that cannot be resected. Drug treatment can inhibit tumor growth to a certain extent, but it is difficult to achieve a satisfying prognosis by single drug, commonly used as adjuvant therapy.

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.
