1.Research Progress in Intravesical Chemotherapy for Non-muscle-invasive Bladder Cancer
China Pharmacist 2016;19(9):1747-1751
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant solid tumor in urinary system. More than 75% cases of bladder cancer have been diagnosed as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer ( NMIBC ) . Transurethral resection of bladder tumor ( TURBT ) is the standard method for the diagnosis and treatment for bladder cancer, however, due to its problem of recurrence, adjuvant intravesical therapy with either immunotherapy or chemotherapy has been used to reduce recurrence and achieve better efficacy for the patients in appropriate stages. The review focused on current progress in chemotherapy agents, targeted bladder drug delivery systems and treat-ment strategies for NMIBC, which would provide guidance for clinical intravesical chemotherapy.

Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2020;36(1):120-124
Objective: To explore the application value of MRI quantitative analysis in evaluation on therapeutic effect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of the wrist. Methods: Totally 30 patients with RA after regular treatment for 1 year were enrolled. The wrist joint was scanned before and after treatment, and the volume of synovitis and bone marrow edema before and after treatment were measured by using the quantitative analysis software. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and disease activity score of 28 (DAS28) were also obtained. Changes of synovitis, bone marrow edema, CRP, ESR and DAS28 were analyzed before and after treatment, correlation analysis was performed on the changes of synovitis and bone marrow edema with changes of CRP, ESR and DAS28. Results: After treatment, the volume of synovitis, the range of bone marrow edema, CRP, ESR and DAS28 of the patients reduced significantly (all P<0.05). Synovitis was strongly correlated with changes in bone marrow edema (r=0.61, P<0.01). Changes in synovitis and bone marrow edema were not significantly correlated with those of ESR and CRP (all P>0.05), while changes in synovitis and bone marrow edema were moderately correlated with changes of DAS28 (r=0.50, 0.56, P=0.01,<0.01). Conclusion: MRI quantitative analysis can be used as accurate and Objective: quantitative indices for monitoring and evaluating therapeutic effect of RA.

Objective:To verify the determination method of iodine in serum by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and to evaluate the consistency between ICP-MS and As 3+-Ce 4+ catalytic spectrophotometry in determination of serum iodine. Methods:Serum iodine concentration was determined by ICP-MS, 187Re was used as an internal standard, and ralated parameters were optimized. Eighty-eight serum samples were simultaneously determined by ICP-MS and As 3+-Ce 4+ catalytic spectrophotometry, and the evaluation indexes included determination range of standard curve, detection limit, precision, accuracy. In addition, we also evaluated the consistency of the two methods through inter-group correlation analysis, intra-group correlation coefficient analysis, Passing-Bablok regression and Bland-Altman analysis. Results:The linear range of ICP-MS standard curve was 0 - 300 μg/L. There was a good linear correlation between iodine concentration value and iodine response value, and the correlation coefficient range was 0.999 8 to 0.999 9. The detection limit of the ICP-MS method was 1.96 μg/L. The relative standard deviation ( RSD) ranged from 0.2% to 1.4% and from 0.4% to 1.8% for intra and inter-batch precision tests of serum samples. The recovery rate ranged from 90.44% to 108.71%. The correlation analysis of 88 serum samples showed that there was a good correlation between the two methods ( r = 0.934, P < 0.05), and the intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.932. The results of Passing-Bablok regression showed that there was no significant difference between the two methods ( P > 0.05). Bland-Altman diagram suggested that the results of the two methods were consistent. Conclusions:ICP-MS method has low detection limit, high precision and accuracy. ICP-MS method is simple, rapid, easy and suitable for determination of iodine in large quantities of serum samples. The results of the two methods for determining serum iodine are consistent.
