The cytotoxic agents pemetrexed and docetaxel and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)erlotinib and gefitinib are standard second-line therapies for non-small cell lung cancer. For patients without the EGFR mutation,more and more evidence has suggested the superiority of chemotherapy over targeted therapy. Adding targeted agents to standard second-line treatment is an trend of exploration,but without promising results nowadays. Crizotinib,targeting at anaplastic lymphoma kinase,has been shown excellent efficacy for second-line therapy in non-small cell lung cancer.

Targeted therapy of anti-angiogensis strategy is the standard treatment for metastatic renal cell cancer.In recent years,a number of new generation of anti-angiogensis agents have been tested in clinical trials,some of which have achieved promising outcomes.Other pathway inhibitors such as inhibitors of mamma-lian target of rapamycin and fibroblast growth factor receptor pathway have made progresses in some extent.

Objective To investigate the effects of swimming exercise training on left ventricular (LV)remodeling and its possible mechanism in spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR).Methods Twenty eightweek-old male SHRs were divided into SHR control (SC) group and SHR exercise training (ST) group,with 10 rats in each group.Ten eight-week-old male Wistar rats were used as normal control (WC) group.The ST group was subject to 60-min moderate swimming exercise without loading once daily,6 times a week,for a total of 12 weeks; while the SC and WC group had no special intervention.The blood pressure was examined once weekly.After 12 weeks,the norepinephrine (NE)and serum angiotonin Ⅱ (ANG Ⅱ) levels were determined by ELISA.The LV hypertrophy was assessed by analysing the ratio of LV weights to body weights (LVW/BW) and cardiomyocyte diameter.The collagen deposited in LV was detected by sirius red staining.The expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) in LV were determined by semi-quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting.Results After 12 weeks,the blood pressure,serum NE and ANG Ⅱ levels,LVW/BW ratio,cardiomyocyte diameter and collagen volume fraction (CVF) increased significantly in SC group compared with WC group; while those in ST group decreased significantly.In addition,in ST group the mRNA and protein expressions of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1 βand TGF-β1 also decreased significantly.Conclusions The swimming exercise could reduce the blood pressure of SHR and improve LV remodeling.This effect was mediated not only by improving the hemodynamics,but also by decreasing sympathetic nerve and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activities,decreasing the gene expressions of cytokines.The swimming exercise may be an effective strategy for improving LV remodeling in hypertension.

ObjectiveTo examine the level of antisperm antibody (ASAb),antiendometrial antibody (EMAb) and anti-mulerian hormone(AMH) in serum of women with infertility and to provide a reliable basis for prediction,diagnosis and treatment of infertility.Methods Two hundred cases of women with infertility visiting our hospital between May.2010 and May.2011 were chosen as the infertility group and 100 cases of women with fertility experience visiting our hospital at the same period with the infertility group were chosen as the controlgroup.We examined the presence of ASAband EMAb and the levelsof AMHof the participants.ResultsIn the infertility group,the total positive rate of serum ASAb was 27.5％ (55/200) and the positive rates of ASAb-IgG,ASAb-IgM and ASAb-IgA were 11.5 ％ (23/200),22.5 ％ (45/200) and 9.5 ％(19/200) respectively.While in the control group,the rates were 6.0％ (6/100),1.0％ (1/100),0 and 2.0％(2/100) respectively ( x2 =5.33,5.37,5.41,4.05 ;P ＜ 0.05 ).The total positive rate of EMAb was 148.5％(97/200),and the positive rates of EMAb-IgG and EMAb-IgM were 13.5％ and 32.5％ respectively,and EMAb-IgG + EMAb-IgM positive rate was 5.5％ (11/20).These parameters were significantly higher than those in the control group [0,1.0％ (1/100),3.0％ (3/100),0,x2 =5.01,5.24,5.16,5.33 ;P ＜0.01 ].There was significantly difference on the level of AMH between the experimental group and the control group [ (5.39 ±1.42) μg/L vs.(2.55 ± 1.27 ) μg/L,t =5.39,P ＜ 0.01 ].Significant correlation was found between ASAb and EMAb( x2 =6.27,P =0.03) by correlation analysis.ConclusionThe level of AMH and the positive rates of ASAb and EMAb are higher in women with infertility than in normal people. Detection of ASAb,EMAb and AMH are important in in finding cause for infertility and taking appropriate measures to treat infertility

Objective To optimize the parameters for the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)of the ulnar nerve in elbow.Methods 5 groups of DTI sequences with different b values and numbers of diffusion gradient directions (NDGDs)were used to collect ulnar nerve images from 13 volunteers,and then the diffusion tensor tractography (DTT)was established.The fractional anisotropy (FA),apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC),length of ulnar nerve fiber and DTI image quality were compared under different imaging parameters. Results DTI results for 18 normal ulnar nerves were included in the study.Under different imaging conditions,FAs showed no significant differences.With constant NDGDs,increasing b value decreased both image quality and ADCs of the ulnar nerve.NDGDs had no significant effects on ADCs or image quality.When b=1 000 s/mm2 and NDGDs=20,the length of the ulnar nerve fiber was the longest and DTT had the best subjective scoring in image quality.Conclusion b=1 000 s/mm2 and NDGDs=20 is recommended for DTI of elbow ulnar nerve,so as to obtain high image quality and stable observing targets.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with radical resection of cervical cancer in the treatment of stage IB2-ⅡB cervical cancer.Methods According to the treatment plan from October 2012 to October 2016 in the People′s Hospital of Luohu District of Shenzhen in 80 cases of stage IB2-II B cervical cancer patients were divided into observation group(n=43) and control group(n=37),the observation group was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with radical surgery for cervical cancer,patients in the control group directly treated for radical resection of cervical cancer.Chemotherapy effect,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative pathological risk factor differences of two groups of patients were compared.Results (1)Evaluated the curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy,squamous cell carcinoma group complete remission(CR) 4 cases,partial remission(PR) 22 cases,stable disease(SD),6 cases of disease progression(PD) in 0 cases,in adenocarcinoma group CR 1 cases,PR 3 cases,SD 5 cases,PD 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma group adjuvant chemotherapy was significantly better than that of adenocarcinoma group,the difference was statistically significant(z=2.4968,P=0.0063).(2)The operation time((215±57) min) and intraoperative blood loss((682±145) ml) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(((259±62) min,(758±193) ml)),the difference was statistically significant(t=3.8780,2.2528,P=0.0002,0.0263).(3)The two groups of patients with ureteral fistula(P=0.5039),vesicovaginal fistula(P=0.3639),wound healing(P=0.5182),lower extremity deep venous thrombosis(P=0.4818) complications had no significant difference.(4)The positive rate of the observation group of lymph nodes(χ2=8.2005,P=0.0000),parametrial infiltration rate(χ2=8.1553,P=0.0000) was significantly lower than the control group,the difference was statistically significant.Two groups of patients with deep myometrial invasion rate(χ2=0.0991,P=0.7516),the incidence of cancer embolus(χ2=0.0130,P=0.9176) compared to no statistical significance.Conclusion The effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on cervical squamous cell carcinoma is better than that of adenocarcinoma.Compared with the direct for radical resection of cervical cancer,neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with radical resection of cervical cancer patients for the treatment of stage IB2-ⅡB cervical cancer,operation time and blood loss are lower,node positive and parametrial invasion and postoperative pathologic risk factors in lymph node also can get better effect.

Objective To evaluate the curative effect and toxicities of platinum-based double regimens for patients aged ≥ 65 with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and identify the prognosis factors. Methods 70 patients aged ≥65 with staged ⅢA-Ⅳ NSCLC, who received platinum-based double regimens as first line treatment, were emrolled.Response rates and toxicities were evaluated.Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the potential prognosis factors.Results The median chemotherapy cycles was 3.The overall response rate was 41.5 % (22/53), and there was no difference between patients aged ＜70 and ≥70 (χ2 =1.945, P =0.378).The median PFS and OS were 6.0 months and 12.5 months.The chemotherapyrelated hematologic toxicities were common.Multivariate analysis revealed that performance status, numbers of metastasis, chemotherapy cycles were significant independent predictive factors for OS. Conclusion In elderly advanced NSCLC, platinum-based doublets show inspiring efficacy, but with more adverse events, and could not be all well tolerated. It should be personalized. Patients with poor performance status and multiple organs metastasis are hard to benefit from combined chemotherapy.Three to six cycles of chemotherapy is the optimal duration for patients who could be well tolerated.

Objective To investigate the expression of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer,and explore its relationship with clinicopathological features. Methods The tissues of gastric cancer and normal tissues adjacent to gastric cancer were obtained from 31 patients.The expression of CD133 mRNA was detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR,and its relationship with clinicopathological features such as sex,age,tumor diameter,infiltration depth,TNM staging,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 proliferation index was analysed. Results The relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer and normal tissues adjacent to gastric cancer were 0.378 3±0.141 1 and 0.038 1 ±0.091 9,respectively(P=0.000).The relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer with tumor diameter>5 cm were significantly higher than those with tumor diameter≤5 cm[(0.439 3±0.148 4)vs(0.334 3±0.121 2)](P=0.041),and those in tissues with lymph node metastasis were significantly higher than those without lymph node metastasis[(0.426 6±0.132 0)vs(0.239 5±0.030 9)](P=0.004).The rate of lymph node metastasis and the number of metastatic lymph nodes were positively related to relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA(r=0.466,P=0.008;r=0.464,P=0.009).The relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA in those with low expression of Ki-67 were significantly higher than those with high expression of Ki-67[(0.436 4±0.139 8)vs(0.316 4±0.117 4)](P=0.02),and expression of Ki-67 were negatively related to relative gray scale values of CD133 mRNA(r=-0.461,P=0.009).Conclusion The expression of CD133 mRNA in tissues of gastric cancer was associated with the rate of lymph node metastasis,number of metastatic lymph nodes and expression of Ki-67,which reflect the status of lymph node metastasis and proliferation of gastric cancer.

Objective To evaluate the association between B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and hepatitis B virus (HBV).Methods The positive rates of HBV markers in 284 patients of B-cell NHL who were admitted to our department between January 2003 and December 2009 were investigated.The positive rates of HBV markers in colorectal cancer patients were used as controls.Results The HBsAg-positive rates of patients aged 18～ 39 and stage m/Ⅳ patients were 42.6 ％ (26/61) and 37.0 ％ (50/135),which was higher than other groups.The x2 value and P value were 7.573 and 6.874,0.023 and 0.009,respectively.Compared with the control group, the B-cell NHL had significantly higher prevalence of positive HBsAg and positive HBeAg (29.6 ％ vs 14.5 ％,6.7 ％ vs 0.8 ％ ).The Wald values were 25.174 and 20.496,respectively.Both of the P value were ＜0.001 and lower prevalence of positive anti-HBs (45.4 ％ vs 58.0 ％,Wald =11.062,P =0.001).The coexpression of HBsAg, HBeAg and anti-HBc was higher in the B-NHL group than in the control group (6.0 ％ vs 0.8 ％,x2 =31.619,P ＜0.001).Similarly,the coexpression of HBsAg,anti-HBe,and anti-HBc was higher in the B-NHL group (16.2 ％ vs 11.5 ％,x2 =4.542,P =0.033).Significantly higher rate of positive anti-HBc and negative anti-HBs was observed in the B-NHL group (37.0 ％ vs 24.5 ％,Wald =17.708,P ＜ 0.001),whereas the same group showed a lower rate of negative anti-HBs compared with the control group (20.8 ％ vs 27.8 ％, Wald =5.646, P =0.017).Conclusion This finding of a positive association between HBV infection and B-NHL suggests that HBV may play an etiologic role in the induction of B-NHL.

Objective To evaluate the association between non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and hepatitis B virus (HBV).Methods The positive rate of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) in 393 patients of NHL who were admitted. The colorectal cancer patients and healthy persons were also enrolled as control. Results The positive rate of HBsAg in NHL patients (26.5 ％) was significantly higher than that in colorectal cancer patients (14.5 ％) and healthy persons (8.8 ％),respectively (x2=55.713,P＜0.001).The characteristics of HBV-infected patients with NHL were similar to those who were HBV-uninfected in terms of sex,stage and B symptoms,whereas the HBV-infected patients were younger than the HBV-uninfected patients (the median age was 47ys vs 52ys,t =-1.911,P=0.021).In the HBsAg-positive NHL group,B-cell subtype was much more common than T-cell subtype (80.8 ％ vs 15.4 ％,P=0.043).Regarding colorectal cancer patients and healthy persons as control groups,the positive rate of HBsAg was significantly higher in B-cell NHL patients than that in the control groups, respectively ( 29.6 ％ vs15.5 ％ vs 8.8 ％,Wald value were 25.174 and 55.139,respectively,P＜0.001).The positive rate of HBsAg of HBV between T-cell NHL (16.7 ％) and control groups were not significantly different. Conclusions An association is present between HBV infection and NHL,especially in B-cell subtype.
