Objective To study the relationship between the microvessel damage and the death rate of tumor cells and determine role of microvessel damage in the tumoricidal effect of hyperthermia.Methods H22 hepatoma cells were inoculated in the right hind legs of KM mice with immunosuppression.Local hyperthermia was administered to these mice which were divided randomly into 10 groups (8 in each group),which included groups of 3,6,12,24,48,72 and 96 h after hyperthermia for 30 min and groups of hyperthermia for 15,30 and 45 min.The tumor tissues were analyzed by flow cytometry(FCM)and immunohistochemistry.The cultured H22 cells were also given hyperthermia for 15,30,45 min and analyzed by FCM.Results The apoptotic rate(0.115±0.008)was higher in the initiation phase of hyperthermia in vitro,then the necrotic rates rose gradually.The difference between in vivo and in vitro was significant in hyperthermia of the same time about death rate(P＜0.05).A strong positive linear correlation(r=0.844)was observed between the death rate of tumor cells and MVD.Conclusion Microvessel damage plays the cardinal role in tumoricidal effect of hyperthermia.

With the rapid development of medical technology, radiation therapy in the treatment of liver cancer occupies the important position. According to the biological characteristics of large liver cancer, the development of liver cancer radiotherapy at home and abroad and the technical features of stereotactic radiotherapy, it is concluded that the effect of radiation therapy of liver cancer can be comparable to those of surgery.γ-SABR is a kind of high accuracy of stereotactic radiotherapy. Before the treatment, usually do a rough evaluation according to the patient general condition, tumor size, and the liver function. The potential risk of radiation induced liver disease is very big. Therefore, the evaluation of essential functional liver volume of large liver cancer is particularly important before stereotactic radiotherapy. Draw lessons from the consensus of liver reserve function and the decision tree of liver function, the concept of essential functional liver volume and remaining functional liver volume is applied to theγ-SABR are being studied in clinical trials. This review is intend to outline the evaluation of essential functional liver volume of solitary large hepatocellular carcinoma beforeγ-SABR.

Objective To systematically the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) conbined with percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) in treatment of advanced liver cancer.Methods A search was performed by retrieving the domestic and foreign literature database,including WanFang Data,VIP,CNKI,PubMed,Cochrane Library,CBM,EMBASE,Medline,between January 2005 and May 2015.These documents were about the analysis of the efficacy of TACE combined with PMCT in treatment of advanced liver cancer,including complete response(CR),partial response(PR),total effective rate,the levels of AFP declining,1,2,and 3 year survival rate and all the trials must be randomized controlled trials.Meta-analyses were conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.2 software.Results Fourteen documents were retrieved,including 989 patients,conbined treatment group 470 patients,simple treatment group 519 patients.The results of Mete-analysis shows that the total effective rate of TACE combined with PMCT is higher than TACE alone in treatment of advanced liver cancer.AFP declining ＞ 50％ of TACE combined with PMCT more obvious than TACE alone.1,2,and 3 year survival rate of TACE combincd with PMCT higher than TACE alone.These differences were statistically significant.Conclusion TACE combined with PMCT might be more effective than TACE alone in treatment of advanced liver cancer.

Objective To evaluate clinical feasibility of using a modified bio-material of femoral arterial and bi-caval femoral venous cannulae for children by investigating the blood compatibility and toxicological characteristics of the bio-material of the cannula.Methods The evaluation tests including hemolysis test,skin irritative test were performed in rabbits,and systemic acute toxic test was performed in mice.First,the haemolysis rate of this modified cannula bio-material was calculated by determination of absorptance conducted in vitro;second,the extracts of this material were prepared according to the national evaluation standards of medical bio-materials,and then the extracts were injected subcutaneously in rabbits to observe the histological responses of skin 72h after injection;finally the prepared extracts were injected intravenously into mice to observe the systemic responses 72h after injection.Results Hemolysis test showed that the hemolysis rate of the novel cannula bio-material was 1.58%,which was much lower than the international standard(5%).The blood compatibility of this material was also satisfactory.Primary skin test in rabbits showed no erythema,necrosis or edema in skin.Furthermore,acute systemic toxic test in mice showed no death and no loss of body weight,and no obvious abnormal response was observed 72h after injection.Conclusion The novel bio-material for femoral arterial venous cannulae for children meets the requirements of medical material property,and it can be clinically used.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and to screen for causative mutations in CRX and GUCY2D genes in children with cone or cone-rod dystrophy. Methods Clinical data and genomic DNA was collected from 18 children with cone or cone-rod dystrophy, aged from 4 months to 8 years. The coding sequence of the cone-rod homeobox (CRX) gene and two exons of the retinal-specific guanylate cyclase GUCY2D gene (exons 2 and 8) were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and heteroduplex combined with single-strand conformational polymorphism (heteroduplex-SSCP) analysis. Results All of the 18 patients manifested obvious visual impairment. Nystagmus, photophobia and mild ocular fundus changes were found in 13, 8,and 7 cases respectively. Normal fundus was seen in 11 cases. The visual acuity was less than 0.3 in 4 cases and was unable to measure in the other 14 cases because they were too young. Clinical ocular manifestations between cone and cone-rod dystrophy were overlapped. Mutation in the CRX and GUCY2D genes was not detected in the 18 children with cone and cone-rod dystrophy. Conclusion Visual impairment appeared more early and obvious than fundus changes in children with cone or cone-rod dystrophy. Mutation in the CRX gene may not contribute to this series of patients with cone and cone-rod dystrophy.

Objective To investigate appropriate use of radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFA) in treatment of liver cancer.Methods Fouty-one patients with hepatic cancer were entered into two trials. The liver tumors were treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA) or intraoperative radiofrequency ablation (IRFA). All patients were followed up postoperatively to assess complications, treatment response, and local recurrence of tumor.Results PRFA and IRFA were performed on 32 tumors in 18 patients and 43 tumors in 23 patients, respectively. Treatment-related complications occurred in 6 of the 18 patients treated with PRFA (33.3%). In contrast, there was only 1 complication after IRFA (4.3%, P

Objective To evaluate the techniques and effects of arthroscopic resection of cystic lesions of soft tissue. Methods Twenty-six patients with soft tissue cysts underwent arthroscopic shaving of cyst wall from February 1998 to February 2001. Results Follow-up observation ranged from 6 months to 12 months, with a mean of 8.6 months. The total effective rate reached 96.2% (25 of 26), and no postoperative complications occurred. Recurrence was only seen in 1 patient with thecal cyst on the right dorsal wrist. Conclusions Arthroscopic resection of cystic lesions of soft tissue can be a less invasive method, with fewer complications, a high effective rate and a rapid recovery.

Objective To investigate the relationship between dexamethasone and brain derive neurotrophic factor gene in experimental bacterial meningitis. Methods To construct the models of bacterial meningitis in 3 weeks old rats(n=33),then 23 of them were administed antibiotic and antibiotic plus dexamethasone respectively. BDNF mRNA and TrkB mRNA in brain was detected by in situ hybridization methods,respectively. Results After administration antibiotics, the expression of BDNF mRNA and TrkB mRNA in brain tissue were less than that in brain after infection 5 d(P 0.05), the expression of TrkB mRNA was stronger than that in brain at 5 d after infection(P
