Infiltrated immune cells and cytokines in the tumor microenvironment may play different functions that appear tightly related to clinical outcomes.Radiotherapy mainly kills tumor cells through radiobio-logical effect,meanwhile it can indirectly change tumor immunologic microenvironment,and has a local or dis-tant anti-tumor immunological effect cooperatively.Animal experiments and clinical trials of radiotherapy com-bined with immunotherapy display well applied prospects,but the mode of radiotherapy in combined treatment needs further research.

Objective To investigate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on lung compliance and oxygenation index during one lung ventilation( OLV) . Methods In this study, sixty patients, ASAⅠorⅡ, scheduled for pul-monary surgeries were enrolled, and randomly divided into two groups:sevoflurane preconditioning group(n=30) and total intravenous group( n=30 ) . For preconditioning, patients in sevoflurane preconditioning group were ad-ministrated with one minimal alveolar concentration(1MAC) sevoflurane for 30 min after general anesthesia induc-tion and then followed with total intravenous anesthesia. While in total intravenous group, only intravenous anes-thetic agents were administrated for maintenane of anesthesia after induction. The indexes of hemodynamics, pulse oximeter( SpO2 ) , plateau pressure( Pplat) and lung compliance( Cdyn) were recorded at the following time points:before anesthesia( T0 ) , after anesthesia induction at laternal position TLV 30 min( T1 ) ,30 min after OLV( T2 ) , 60 min after OLV( T3 ) and recovering TLV 20 min( T4 ) . Arterial blood samples were taken to measure partial pressure of carbon dioxide( PaCO2 ) , partial pressure of oxygen( PaO2 ) , pH, oxygenation index( PaO2/FiO2 ) at the follow-ing time points: T1 , T2 , T3 , T4 . Results Compared with T1 , the oxygenation index and lung compliance de-creased significantly at T2 ,T3 ( P<0. 05 ); compared with total intravenous group, the lung compliance was obvi-ously higher than that in sevoflurane preconditioning group at T2,T3(P<0. 05). There were no significantly differ-ences in the oxygenation index between total intravenous group and sevoflurane preconditioning group at all time points. Conclusion Compared with total intravenous anesthesia with propofol , sevoflurane preconditioning can im-prove lung compliance, but does not make contribute to improve oxygenation index.

Objective To analyze the relationship between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and metabolic syndrome (MS) in petrol field workers.Methods A total of 100 cases of OSAS patients of petrol field workers were enrolled as the study objects from March 2013 to August 2015 in emergency and respiratory department in Daqing Longnan Hospital and were divided into three groups:simple snoring group (Group A,n =26),mild OSAS group (Group B,n =42),and severe OSAS group (Group C,n =32).The comparison of dietetic status score,sleep status score and the patients with MS among 3 groups were carried out.The relationship between OSAS and MS was analyzed by using univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses were used.Results In Group C,sleep status score (8.3 ± 1.2) and dietetic status score (7.6 ± 1.4) and the rates of MS (23/32) were higher than those in the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Univariate and multivariable Logistic regression analyses,showed OSAS was the risk factorofMS [r=11.211 (OR =9.412,95％ CI:5.992～15.202)].Conclusions Dietetic status and sleep status were obviously influenced by OSAS in petrol field workers.The incidence of MS were more common in petrol field workersevere with OSAS and OSAS was a risk factor of MS.

Objective To develop an HPLC method for the measurement of fractional and molar esterification rate of serum HDL(FER HDL and MERHDL).Methods Blood samples were mixed with 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid)(DTNB)and the sera were separated.Serum HDL fractions were prepared by precipitation with Dextran sulfate and magnesium and the fractions were incubated at 37℃for 1 h in the presence and absence of 2-mercaptoethanol(ME).Free cholesterol levels of the HDL fractions were analyzed by HPLC and FERHDL and MERHDL were calculated.Results Under the selected conditions,serum free cholesterol could be stabilized by inhibition of LCAT with DTNB and the inhibition be reversed by ME. The total CVs for FERHDL and MERHDL were 1.59%-3.74% and 1.64%-2.88%,respectively.The averages of FERHDL and MERHDL in 70 apparently healthy subjects were 18.7%/h and 42.7 μmol·L-1·h-1 with standard deviations of 7.2%/h and 11.8 μmol·L-1·h-1·respectively,and the medians were 16.1%/h and 11.8 μmol·L-1·h-1.Close correlations of FERHDL.and MERHDL with other cardiovascular disease risk factors were observed.Conclusion A new method for the measurements of FERHDL and MERHDL by HPLC has been estabished. The method is safe, precise and simple and applications in the assessment of cardiovascular diseases risks are expected.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of the F waves,H-reflex and nerve conductions and its diagnostic value in the patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome(GBS)onset within 4 weeks.Methods The electrophysiological data of the 40 patients with GBS were analyzed retrospectively.These patients were divided into 2 groups according to the duration of illness including in 2 week' s group and over 2 week' s group.The results of the F waves,H-reflex,the motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV),and the sensory nerve conduction velocity(SCV)of these patients were analyzed.Results The abnormality rate of the F waves was 17/20 and 7/18 respectively in less 2 week' s group and over 2 week' s.The H-reflexes were 13/20 and 12/19.The MCV was 28.4％(25/88)and 32.9％(26/79).The distal motor latency was 40.9％(36/88)and 36.7％(29/79).The compound muscle action potential amplitude was 35.2％(31/88)and 32.9％(26/79)respectively in these two groups.The abnormality rate of the SCV was 11.2％(10/89)and 25.2％(24/95)respectively in the two groups.The higher abnormality rate of these tests was the F waves and H-reflex in both the groups.The abnormality rates of the F waves(x2 =8.657,P =0.003)and SCV(x2 =6.002,P =0.014)were significantly different between the two groups.There were no significant differences in the other tests.Conclusion The electrophysiological tests are valuable in the diagnosis of GBS.The F waves and H-reflex are more significant for early diagnosis of GBS.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the status of macrophages during the non-ventilated lung injury in the patients undergoing long-time one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 35-64 yr,weighing 50-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer,were divided into 2 groups (n=15 each) according to the time of OLV:short-time OLV group (＜30 min,group S) and long-time OLV group (＞2 h,group L).Anesthesia was routinely induced and maintained.Normal lung tissues around the cancer tissues from the lobe of the lung excised were obtained for microscopic examination of pathologic changes which were scored.The activated macrophages (CD68 positive),polarized M1 macrophages (CD86 positive) and polarized M2 macrophages (CD206 positive) in lung tissues were detected using immunofluorescence.The ratio of CD86 positive cells to CD206 positive cells was calculated.Results Compared with group S,lung injury scores on the non-ventilated side were significantly increased,the number of CD68,CD86 and CD206 positive cells in lung tissues was increased,and the ratio of CD86 positive cells to CD206 positive cells was increased in group L (P＜0.05).Conclusion Long-time OLV (＞2 h) can result in increased number of activated macrophages,especially the polarized M1 macrophages,which may be one of the mechanisms underlying lung injury on the non-ventilated side.

The research aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of Opuntia dillenii Haw polysaccharide (OPS) on atherosclerosis of rats. First atherosclerotic rat models were established by high-fat and high-calcium diet. Thirty days later, the rats were treated with low dosage of OPS (0.2 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) or high dosage of OPS (0.4 g x kg(-1) x d(-1)) by intraperitoneal injection for 60 days continuously. At the end of treatment, thoracic aorta rings were prepared and vasorelaxation of rat thoracic aorta in different experiment groups were determined by using 620M multi wire myograph system in vitro. Blood and livers of rats were collected. Then plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and low density lipoprotein (LDL) of rats were separately determined using whole automatic biochemical analyzer; protein level of hepatic apolipoprotein B (ApoB) and that of hepatic diglyceride acyltransferase (Dgat1) were measured by Western Blot technique. Results showed that the ability of rat thoracic aorta to relax decreased markedly in the model group compared with that in the normal group, and significant differences existed in vasorelaxation ratios induced by different concentrations of carbamylcholine chloride (Carb) between these two groups (P < 0.01). After OPS treatment, the ability of rat thoracic aorta to relax improved markedly, the vasorelaxation ratios induced by Carb at 5 and 10 μmol x L(-1) were respectively 0.34 ± 0.08 and 0.62 ± 0.15 in the group treated with low dosage of OPS, while the ratios induced by Carb at 1 and 5 μmol x L(-1) were respectively 0.54 ± 0.08 and 0.98 ± 0.02 in the group treated with high dosage of OPS, which were all significantly different with those in the model group (P < 0.01). Plasma contents of TC, TG and LDL reduced significantly by the treatments both with low and high dosages of OPS compared with those in the model group (P < 0.01). Protein level of hepatic ApoB and that of hepatic Dgat1 decreased significantly after the treatment with high dosage of OPS compared with those in the model group (P < 0.01). These results indicate that OPS can markedly improve the vasorelaxation of thoracic aorta of atherosclerotic rats and has significant anti-atherosclerotic effect; inhibiting the expression of ApoB and Dgat1 and thus decreasing the amounts of TC, LDL and TG serving as one of the molecular mechanisms of its antiatherosclerosis effect.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of the combined treatment model for Wilms'tumor and to improve treatment results.Methods Fifty-five patients diagnosed with Wilms' tumor between July 1981 to June 2010 were analyzed retrospectively.Eighteen patients were diagnosed by preoperative ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy,and 53 patients were confirmed by postoperative pathology results.Seven cases were in clinical stage Ⅰ,19 cases in clinical stage Ⅱ,21 cases in stage Ⅲ,six cases in stage Ⅳ and two cases in stage Ⅴ.Thirty-five cases had histopathological subtype,30 cases had the favorable type,and five cases had the unfavorable type.Among the 55 patients,kidney tumor resection was performed on 48 cases,wide edge partial nephrectomy was performed on two cases,tumor enucleation was performed on one bilateral renal tumor case,kidney tumor resection with pulmonary metastasectomy was performed on two cases,and two cases had no surgical procedures.Eighteen cases received preoperative chemotherapy,40 cases received postoperative chemotherapy,and 12 cases received postoperative radiotherapy.Patients were grouped according to age,stage,histological type,treatment model,treatment course and whether or not they had radiotherapy.The Kaplan-Meier method was used in the evaluation and comparison of over survival (OS),disease free survival (DFS) and relapse free survival (RFS) of the different groups to reveal the relationship between different grouping factors with the prognosis of Wilms' tumor. ResultsThe median of follow-up was 34 mon ( ranging from 3 to 355 mon).The 3-year OS,5-year OS and 2-year DFS were 77.6％,69.0％ and 52.4％,respectively.The differences of OS in different stages ( P =0.006 ),DFS between pure operation group and combined therapy group ( P =0.004 ) and RFS between radiotherapy group and no radiotherapy group ( P =0.03 ) were significant,P ＜ 0.05.ConclusionsThe normative multi-disciplinary treatment model for patients with Wilms' tumor can achieve good results and is well tolerated.
