Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection 2009;29(1):80-82
Objective To observe the efficacy and acute toxicity in non-myeloablative low-dose tatal body irradiation. Methods From January 2006 to January 2008, 27 cases of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients received non-myeloablative pretreatment program involving low-dose whole body irradiation. Pretreatment program: the total dose of TBI was 2 Gy, once completely. According to primary disease, physical condition, age, organ function and HAL coincide situation, the patients received different chemotherapy, including FUL, CTX, Ara-C, melphalan and so on. To prevent the graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), CSA/MMF was used. Results Hematopeietic reconstruction: the peripheral blood WBC in all 27 cases reduced to (0.05-0.9) × 109/L in 4 to 8 days, with the neutrophil count > 0.5 × 109/L in 8 to 22 days (median + 10.5 days), the platelet count > 30 × 109/L in 11 to 28 days (median + 14.5 days). The transplant rate was 85.2% (23/27). The fever rate was 65% and the infection rate was 37% (10/27). Hemorrhagic cystitis,hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD), and other complications did not occurred. 4 cases developed aGVHD (15 %) and 5 cases developed cGVHD (19 %) out of 27 cases. Follow-up 3 to 22 months, 21 eases are still alive (77.8%). Conclusions Pretreatment with low-dose whole body irradiation of non-myeloablative hematopeietic stem cell transplantation proved to be simple and safe with fewer complications and broad indications. Program of TBI with total dose of 2 Gy (once completely) is a safe, less toxic and effective method. It could achieve the effectiveness of immune suppression.

5. Prostacyclin signal pathway: Research advances
Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2010;37(4):276-278
Prostacyclin (PGI2) is a member of the prostaglandins family and the main product of arachidonic acid metabolism by cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin synthase. PGI2 mediates cellular activity through binding to G-protein coupled receptor, prostacyclin receptor, therefore leading to activation of adenylyl cyclase, accumulation of cAMP and activation of PKA. PGI2 plays an important role in vascular biology such as regulating vasodilation, platelet aggregation, vascular permeability, and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. At high concentrations, PGI2 is able to interact with peroxisomal proliferator-activated receptor, a class of nuclear receptors, and modulate specific cellular functions such as angiogenesis. This paper reviews the research advances in PGI2 synthesis and signal pathway.

Objective To investigate the effects of various intensity of 1 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on up-per limbs motor function after stroke. Methods From December, 2014 to December, 2015, sixty patients with ischemic stroke were random-ly divided into high density group (HD, n=20), low density group (LD, n=20) and control group (n=20). They all received routine rehabilita-tion and medication. The HD group received rTMS over contralesional motor cortex twice a day, while the LD group received rTMS once a day, and the control group received sham stimulation, 10 minutes a time for 10 days. They were tested with motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) of upper limbs and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment. Results The ampli-tude of MEPs of the affected cortex, the scores of FMA and MBI were more in HD and LD groups than in the control group after treatment (P<0.01), and were more in HD group than in LD group (P<0.01). No serious side-effect was found. Conclusion rTMS was feasible for pa-tients with stroke to improve the upper limbs motor function. It is more effective as more times a day.
