Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation combined with gemcitabine and Gio (gemcitabine and S-1, GS scheme) chemotherapy in treating advanced pancreatic carcinoma. Methods Sixty-eight patients with inoperable advanced pancreatic carcinoma were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in group A(n=38) were treated with CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation combined with GS chemotherapy scheme, while patients in group B (n=30) received GS chemotherapy scheme only. The short-term effect, the median progression-free survival time, the median survival time and adverse reactions of the two groups were determined , and the results were compared between the two groups. Results The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and clinical benefit rate (CBR) of the group A were 57.9%, 73.7%and 84.2%respectively, while those of group B were 26.7%, 46.7% and 60.0% respectively. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). In group A the median progression-free survival time and the median survival time were 8.00 months and 11.84 months respectively, which were strikingly higher than those in group B (5.63 months and 10.40 months respectively), the differences between the two groups were statistically significantly (P<0.05). No significant differences in gastrointestinal reactions, blood toxicity, liver toxicity and other adverse reactions existed between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion For advanced pancreatic carcinoma, CT-guided 125I radioactive seed implantation combined with GS program is a safe and effective treatment.

Objective To investigate the value of CT-guided 125I particles implantation combined with gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) regimen in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.Methods 42 patients with unresectable local advanced pancreatic cancer were given with CT-guided 125I seed implantation.3-4 cycles of GS regimen was given based on the tolerance of patient s body within 3-7 d after implantation of particles.Review of blood,CA199,chest X-ray,CT scan + enhanced or MRI were performed at 2nd,4th,6th,12th month after surgery.Results 2nd,4th,6th month after surgery,tumor lesions were significantly reduced,ORRs were 59.5 ％ (25/42),66.7 ％ (28/42) and 73.8 ％ (31/42),respectively,DCRs were 83.3 ％ (35/42),78.6 ％ (33/42) and 76.2 ％ (32/42),respectively.No serious adverse reactions were observed,patient could tolerate these reactions.The 6th,12th,24th month survival rates were 100 ％ (42/42),47.6 ％ (20/42) and 11.9 ％ (5/42),respectively,mPFS was 8.27 months and mOS was 12.00 months.Conclusion CT-guided 125I particles implantation combined with GS regimen is convenient,safe,high efficacy in the treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer.

Objective To improve recognition of the processus articularis arthropathy.Methods CT findings of the processus articularis arthropathy was analysed.Results According to the CT findings of the 94 cases processus articularis arthropathy,CT signs and the syndrome of this disease were summarized five types:①zygapophyseal hypertrophy and osteophyte formation;②stricture or asymmetry of articular space ;③vacuum phenomenon of articular space ;④pachynsis or calcification of articular capsule ;⑤articular instability.Conclusion The processus articularis arthropathy is a very high incidence of a disease.The CT scanning is very important significance to the disease.

Objective To study the value of common X-ray and CT scanning in the spinal bursting fracture (abridged English:BF).Methods By the frontal,lateral X-ray film and CT scanning,the imaging manifestations of BF in 43 cases were analysed,contrasted,summarised and classified .Results Among the BF 43 cases,the classifications were type A(10 cases),type B(15 cases),type C(2 cases),type D(9 cases) and type E(7 cases).The three-post injure had 34 cases,the two-post injure had 9 cases,the spinal canal narrowing:0?was 8 cases,1?was 12 cases,2? was 23 cases;the rear spinal edges discontinuation was 35 cases.Conclusion The diagnostic value of X-ray film to BF is reflecting the bones injured change of spinal fracture type,flexion and damaged rear edge.The CT scanning advantage is showing the fracture lines trend,relative scope,degree of spinal canal deformation and narrow,infering the pressed situation and injured spinal cord.The two methods combine and confirm each other in order to help clinical diagnosis the right treating.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of the lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration by CT scanning.Methods The clinical representation and CT view of 809 cases with degenerative lumbar intervertebral disc were retrospectively analyzed.Results According to the different CT representation character,the degenerative lumbar intervertebral disc may be divided into the lumbar intervertebral disc denaturation bulge in 96 cases and the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation in 713 cases.Conclusion CT scanning is a value method to diagnosing degenerative lumbar intervertebral disc.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of posterior screw-rod fixation fusion for the treatment of atlantoaxial dislocation due to rheumatoid arthritis.Methods From January 2011 to December 2015,15 patients with atlantoaxial dislocation due to rheumatoid arthritis were treated,including 6 males and 9 females,aged 35 to 75 years (mean 55 years).All cases were evaluated about the difficulty of relocation by extension-flexion X-ray and treated with posterior screw-rod reduction,fixation and autogenous bone grafting under general anesthesia.Atlantodental interval (ADI) was measured and collected before and after surgery.Visual Analogue Scale/Score (VAS),American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores were comprehensively used to evaluate the clinical effect.1 week,3,6,12 months postoperatively and the annual review of the X-ray and CT were checked,in order to evaluate the reduction,internal fixation and bone graft fusion.Results All patients were reducible dislocation and successfully performed the posterior screw-rod fixation fusion surgery.The patients were followed up for 3 to 24 months (average,15 months).Atlantoaxial solid bony fusion was obtained from 3 to 6 months.ADI reduced from preoperative 6.3±1.7 mm to postoperative 2.2±0.8 mm,VAS score reduced from preoperative 5.4±2.7 to postoperative 1.7±1.0,ASIA motor score improved from preoperative 82.3±15.6 to 95.3±4.5 at 6 months after the surgery,JOA score increased from preoperative 13.8±2.9 to 15.5±1.4 at 6 months after the surgery,and the statistical significance was revealed between preoperation and postoperation.Nine cases were in D grade of ASIA,3 cases improved from D to E grade after surgery,2 cases reached E grade in the other 6 cases after 6 months,2 cases recovered to E grade after 12 months and other 2 cases in D grade got uniformity after surgery.Well internal fixation and no redislocation were found on X-ray and CT during follow-up period.Conclusion Atlantoaxial dislocation because of rheumatoid arthritis was numerously reducible genre.Posterior screw-rod fixation and autogenous bone grafting can gain satisfying clinical efficacy.

Felids are the unique definitive host of Toxoplasma gondii. The intestine of felid is the only site for initiating Toxoplasma gondii sexual reproduction. T. gondii excretes millions of infectious oocysts from the intestine, which are the primary source of infection. There are many difficulties in developing vaccines and drugs to control oocyst excretion due to the lack of an appropriate experimental model. Here, we established an in vitro feline intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) infection system and an efficient animal model of T. gondii Chinese 1 genotype, Wh6 strain (TgCtwh6). The Kunming mice brain tissues containing TgCtwh6 cysts were harvested 42-day post-infection. The bradyzoites were co-cultured with cat IECs in vitro at a ratio of 1:10. Five 3-month-old domestic cats were orally inoculated with 600 cysts each. The oocysts were detected by daily observation of cat feces by microscopy and polymerase chain reaction. We found that the parasite adhered and invaded cat IECs in vitro, transformed into tachyzoites, and then divided to form rose-like structures. These parasites eventually destroyed host cells, escaped, and finished the asexual reproduction process. Schizonts associated with sexual reproduction have not been observed during development in vitro cultured cells. However, schizonts were detected in all infected cat intestinal epithelial cells, and oocysts were presented in all cat feces. Our study provides a feasible cell model and an efficient infection system for the following studies of T. gondii sexual reproduction, and also lays a foundation to develop drugs and vaccines for blocking excretion and transmission of oocysts.
