Chemotherapy resist is the problem for clinic,and some researches find that chemotherapy with anthracycline and oxaliplatin not only induces the tumor cell apoptosis,but also the celt immunogenic cell death (ICD) by inducing the tumor cell apoptosis and releasing three kinds of signals:exposure of calreticulin on the cell surface to stimulate the dendritic cell (DC) to engulf,and the secretion of adenosine triphosphate to recruit DC to enter into tumor bed,and the release of the high mobility group B1 to promote DC to steadily bind with dying tumor cell to induce specific T cell antitumor immune response.It is with great meaning to promote the chemotherapy protocol by studying the ICD induced by chemotherapy.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT fusion imaging in hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolizationTACE)with lipiodol. Methods 15 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma diameter 4～10 cm) were investigated with ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging within three months after TACE. The findings of imaging were compared with the results of anteriography and clinical follow-up.Results After TACE, regions of absent~(18)F-FDG uptakes could be found in all 15 patients. Increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes could be found in liver of 11 cases. The other 4 patients had no increased~(18)F-FDG uptakes in liver. The regions of increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes were residual viable tumor confirmed by anteriography and clinical follow-up , and most of them locate around region of absent ~(18) F-FDG uptakes.~(18)F-FDG PET-CT fusion imaging showed that there were no correlation between increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes and lipiodol dense distribution. After another TACE given or radiotherapy based on ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT fusion imaging, the areas of increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes reduced or disappeared. In 4 patients without Increased ~(18)F-FDG uptakes ,DSA showed that there were still viable tumor in the peripheral zone of tumor.Conclusion Residual viable tumor can still be found in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after TACE.~(18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging can characterize and locate the most residual viable tumor, monitor response and be a guide in following therapy, but some viable tumor can not be found by ~(18)F-FDG PET-CT imaging.

AlM: To investigate the efficacy of photodynamic therapy ( PDT) and intravitreal injection with ranibizumab on macular choroidal neovascularization ( CNV ) of pathologic myopia ( PM) .
METHODS: There were patients ( 32 eyes ) who were diagnosed as PM with CNV. Randomly selected 16 cases ( 16 eyes ) which were given the PDT treatment ( PDT group ) . The remaining were given both PDT and intravitreal injection with ranibizumab ( combination group) . There is no significant difference on macular edema between two groups. We analyzed the changes in the best corrected visual activity ( BCVA) , optic coherence tomograph ( OCT ) and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) before and 1, 6mo after treatment.
RESULTS:One month after the treatment in PDT group:the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased compared with that of pretreatment (P<0. 05). One month after the treatment in combination group: the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased significantly compared with that of pretreatment (P<0. 01);the changes of BCVA and CMT showed statistically significant between the two groups ( P<0. 05). Six month after the treatment in PDT group: the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased compared with that of pretreatment ( P <0. 05 ). Six month after the treatment in combination group: the BCVA increased while the CMT decreased significantly compared with that of pretreatment ( P <0. 01 ); compared with changes of BCVA and CMT in two groups, the difference was significant after treatment (P<0. 05). Compared 1mo with 6mo after treatment:there was no significant difference in the BCVA and CMT changes (P>0. 05). One month after treatment: in PDT group, FFA showed no leakage or reduced leakage of CNV in 11 eyes (69%), and the fundus remained leaky in 5 eyes ( 31%); in combination group, FFA showed no leakage or reduced leakage of CNV in 13 eyes (81%);the fundus remained leaky in 3 eyes (19%). Six month after treatment:in PDT group, FFA showed no leakage or reduced leakage in 10 eyes ( 62. 5%); the fundus remained leaky in 4 eyes ( 25%); two eyes ( 12. 5%) relapsed leakage; in combination group, FFA showed no leakage or reduced leakage of CNV in 15 eyes (94%);the fundus remained leaky in 1 eye (6%).
CONCLUSlON: Not only PDT but also PDT and intravitreal injection with ranibizumab can block CNV of pathologic myopia completely or partly, and reduce the danger causing descent of vision. Effects and the stability of the combination therapy is superior to PDT treatment.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of GM1 ganglioside treatment for persons with Parkinson's disease.Methods33 Parkinson's disease patients with a fluctuating response to levodopa received 100 mg GM1 ganglioside (used as add-on agent to the previous medication regimen) daily. Unified Parkinson's disease Rating scale (UPDRS) motor score and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) score were measure before and 2, 3 or 4 weeks after treatment. The side-effect of GM1 during treatment were observed. ResultsAfter 2, 3, 4 weeks of treatment, There was significant improvement in patients with GM1 treament on the UPDRS motor scores were (23.5±8.9), (22.8±8.3) and (22.5±9.1) respectively, which was improved compared with that before (36.7±10.2) (P<0.01). The ADL portion of the UPDRS at these time were (21.4±10.9), (20.3±9.5) and (20.6±10.2) respectively, also showed significant improvement compared with the baseline (30.5±12.1) (P<0.01). However, there was no significant differece between the scores that measured at the time spots 2 weeks after treatment.No side-effect had been observed.ConclusionGM1 ganglioside can improve neurologic function significantly in PD patients with fluctuating response to levodopa.

Objective To investigate the physicochemical characteristics of urinary stone induced by ceftriaxone.Methods Two children cefriaxone-associated urinary stone samples were received for component analysis in our hospital in April 2012,of which one was from a boy whose clinical data was not available,and the other was from a boy who suffered acute lower abdominal pain and vomiting after treatment with ceftriaxone for 5 d in early April.Ultrasound demonstrated a stone in his right upper ureter.Computed tomography showed right upper ureteral stone,which was radiolucent on plain abdominal radiograph.After a conservative treatment for 3 d,the stone in right upper ureter was spontaneously passed,which was confirmed by the ultrasound and intravenous pyelography.The two received stone samples were analyzed by infrared spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy and energy disperse spectroscopy for component analysis.Results The compositions of two stone samples were free ceftriaxone and calcium ions combined with a molar ratio of 1:1.Conclusions The ceftriaxone could induce urinary stone in children.This special stone has radiolueent imaging,and it is composed of calcium ceftriaxone salt.

Objective To investigate the changes of the white matter in adolescent depression by using the method of tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS). Methods We employed TBSS to examine WM microstructure in 35 treatment-naive adolescents with clinical depression and in 40 matched controls. By using the TBSS, we compared the difference of fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD) and mean diffusivity (MD) between theadolescent patients with depression and the controls. Results Our analysis revealed the abnormal WM microstructures in the clinically depressed adolescents. The whole-brain analysis revealed that patients, with lower FA values in the body of the corpus callosum (CC) (P < 0.01), had elevated RD and MD (P < 0.01), and preserved AD (P > 0.05). The FA values in the body of the corpus callosum was negatively correlated with the severity of depression (P < 0.01). Conclusions Our findings suggest that WM abnormalities are involved in the path-physiology of depression. Importantly , our findings show that these WM abnormalities present early in the course of the disorder.

Objective To evaluate the kinetics of peripheral blood cells in DTC patients before and after 131I treatment.Methods A total of 64 patients were divided into 2 groups with different therapeutic doses:high-dose group (3.70-5.55 GBq,n =24) and low-dose group (1.11 GBq,n =40).The WBC,neutrophils (NEUT),lymphocytes (LY),RBC and PLT were counted before operation,before 131I treatment,and on 3 d and 7 d after 131I treatment.One-way analysis of variance and two-sample t test were used to analyze the data.Results The counts of WBC and NEUT in both groups along with the LY in high-dose group varied significantly before,and on 3 d and 7 d after 131I treatment(WBC:high-dose group,(6.30±1.04),(8.86±2.07),(6.59±1.64) × 109/L;low-dose group,(6.65±1.48),(10.17±3.04),(7.17± 1.57) ×109/L; NEUT:high-dose group,(3.75±0.88),(6.42± 1.91),(4.53± 1.54) × 109/L; low-dose group,(3.88±0.90),(7.12±2.77),(4.40±1.17) × 109/L;LY:(2.11±0.67),(2.06±0.74),(1.59±0.49) × 109/L;F values:3.88 to 30.20,all P＜0.05).The counts of WBC and NEUT in both groups were significantly higher on 3 d after 131I treatment than that before treatment (all P＜0.05).The counts of WBC and NEUT in both groups along with the LY in high-dose group decreased significantly on 7 d compared to that on 3 d after 131I treatment (all P＜0.05).The counts of LY in high-dose group also significantly decreased on 7 d after 131I treatment than before treatment(P＜0.05).The counts of RBC before 131I treatment and LY on 7 d after 131I treatment were significantly different between the 2 groups(t=2.36,-4.30,both P＜0.05).Compared with the counts before operation,LY,RBC and PLT were significantly higher (t values:from-4.92 to-2.45,all P＜0.05) during hypothyroid state induced by thyroxine withdrawal before 131I treatment.Conclusions Short-term kinetics of WBC and NEUT present as an increase first followed by a decrease after 131I treatment; while LY of high-dose group presents as a gradually decrease.Hypothyroid state induced by levo-thyroxine withdrawal leads to increased counts of LY,RBC and PLT before 131I treatment.
