Objective To evaluate the clinical value of CT-guided interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds for the treatment of pulmonary carcinoma. Methods A total of 18 patients with pulmonary carcinoma underwent CT-guided interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds. According to the size of tumor,effective dose, and optimal quantity of ~(125)I seeds to the patient that were computed by a developed algorithm in Treatment Planning System (TPS), the ~(125)I seeds were implanted into the tumor tissues under the guidance of spiral CT. The patients were reexamined by CT 2 months after the operation and were followed up for 6 months. Results A total of 812 seeds were implanted into the 18 lesions in the 18 cases (45.1 seeds per case in average). The CT scan performed 2 months after the operation showed CR in 7 cases, PR in 10, and NC in 1. The total effectiveness (CR+PR) rate was 94% (17/18). Conclusions CT-guided interstitial implantation of ~(125)I seeds is a effective, minimally invasive, and low toxic method for valid and minimally traumatic treatment for middle- and late-stage lung cancer. Further application and long-term observation are necessary.

TNF-?,a pleiotropic cytokine with strong proinflammatory and immunomodulatory properties is known to play an important role in inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).The biological effects of TNF-? are elicited by binding to its two cognate recepters,TNFR1 and TNFR2.For a long time,TNF-R1 was considered to be the predominant mediator of TNF-signaling,whereas TNF-R2 was ascribed only auxilliary function.However,there is increasing clinical and experimental evidence for an important independent role of TNF-?/TNFR2 signaling in chronic inflammatory conditions of IBD.The elucidation of the different effects of TNF-signaling in IBD will lead to a better understanding ot the pathogenesis of these diseases and will be the basis for the development of more specific and more efficient therapeutic approaches.

For attracting more social charity funding into the health field, in-depth interviews are conducted into four health foundations in Beijing, presenting three aspects of existing problems and obstacles in the foundations devel-opment in this article. Firstly, the foundations have low effect in fundraising, poor information publication, little com-munication between other facilities and vague mechanism in donation. Secondly, the social public has erroneous views leading to deviant behavior. Finally, some annual inspection standards of the foundation are not suitable for the health field. Based on the above analysis, suggestions about how to improve transparency and fundraising ability in foundations and change the public erroneous views in donation are proposed. The governments might be suggested to get more relax-ed on the annual inspection standards of the foundations, and build an information platform in healthcare field as well.
