Objective To investigate the relationship between post-cerebral infarction depression and negative life events and the therapeutic effect on depression. Methods 162 patients with cerebral infarction were assigned to negative life event affecting group (A group,85) and non- negative life event affecting group (B group,77), and then assessed condition of depression by self-rating depression scale( SDS )and Hamilton rating scale (HRSD). The curative effect before and after therapy of fluoxetine(20 mg/d?4 w) was compared. Results The incidence of depression are 56.5% in group A and 36.4% in group B respectively. The difference is significantly( P

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a complex and heterogeneous tumor with various genomic alterations.In most patients,HCC is associated with cirrhosis which contributes to treatment morbidity and mortality.Cirrhosis adds difficulties to clinical management of HCC.Over the past decade,several molecular targets which are involved in the etiology of HCC have been identified.Among them,treatment with sorafenib,an antiangiogenic and Raf kinase inhibitor,has shown survival benefit.This represents a breakthrough in treatment of this complex disease,and proves that molecular therapies can be effective in HCC.It is becoming apparent that to overcome the complexity of genomic aberrations in HCC,combination therapies are essential.Several ongoing clinical trials show encouraging results.Future researches are necessary to identify new compounds to block important undruggable pathways,and to identify new oncogenes as targets for therapies through novel high throughout technologies.Ultimately,a molecular classification of HCC based on genome investigations and identification of patient subclasses using drug responsiveness will lead to a more personalized treatment.Although molecular therapy is a promising treatment for HCC with cirrhosis,surgery,if applicable,remains the first choice of treatment.

Objective To study the clinical, imaging and pathological features of primary angiitis of central nervous system (PACNS). Methods The clinical data of 8 patients with PACNS (4 suspected and 4 definite) were retrospectively analysed.Results There were 5 males and 3 females in 8 patients with PACNS. Average age was 32 years old and average disease course was 11 months. The initial symptoms were headache in 5, extremital weakness in 2, and speech disorder in 1 patients. The major clinical manifestations were headache in all patients, extremital weakness and numbness in 5, speech disorder in 1, and seizure disorder in 2 patients. 7 patients were with slow-progressive disease courses, and 1 patients with a relapsing-remitting one. MRI showed abnormality in all patients. 6 cases had unilateral lesions and 2 had bilateral lesions. MRI showed ill-defined, irregular or atypical wedge-shaped foci in cortical and subcortical areas in 7 patients and strip-shaped foci with surrounding finger-like cerebral edema in the left frontal and parietal lobe and gyrus cinguli in 1 patient. All lesions enhanced with different degree on contrast-enhanced scan. Enhanced lesions along sulcus and gyrus were seen in 7 patients and mass-like irregular linear enhancement lesion in 1 patient. Diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) showed hyper-signal and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) showed hypo-signal in 5 patients. MRA showed stiffness and lack of smooth in one or more cerebral arteries with multiple segmental narrowing and expanding, and rarity of arterial distal branches in 8 patients. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) also showed multiple segmental narrowing and expanding in cerebral arteries, and rarity of arterial distal branches in 4 patients. Brain biopsy in 4 cases revealed angiitis with lymphocytic infiltration. 5 patients received treatment with single corticoid, and 3 with cyclophosphamide. All cases had good outcome. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of PACNS are various. The changes of imaging are obvious, MRI, MRA and DSA are helpful in the diagnosis of PACNS. The definite diagnosis relies on brain biopsy.

Pancreatic head carcinoma could easily invade the neighboring vessels due to its own biological features and anatomical location,which increases the technique difficulty and risk,leading to low resection rate.Recently,with the progress on the surgical techniques and perioperative management,and the emergence of neoadjuvant chemoradiation,vascular invasion is no longer the surgical contraindications and pancreaticoduodenectomy combined with vascular resection has saved many patients ' lives.However,the preoperative assessment,the timing of surgery,the vessel management during the surgery,and the prevention and treatment of the postoperative complications remain controversial.In order to achieve a clear understanding on the application of pancreaticoduodenostomy combined with vascular resection,here we review the recent publications and share the experiences on pancreaticoduodenectomy with portal and/or superior mesenteric vein resection from our center,which may help improve the safety and resection rate of pancreatic carcinoma and enhance the overall therapeutic efficacy of treating pancreatic cancer.

Objective To study the impacts of different applicators on dose distribution in 192 Ir brachytherapy. Methods The inner tubes of two cylinder applicators from Nucletron,#101?001 and#084?350, were made of plastic and stainless steel, respectively. The cylinder parts of them were made of plastic, and had four different radiuses:1?00 cm, 1?25 cm, 1?50 cm, and 1?75 cm. EGSnrc program was used to simulate dose distribution when applicators were present in a phantom, and the results calculated by the treatment planning system were compared with the results of EGSnrc. The impacts of applicators on dose distribution were analyzed with different materials, thickness, and numbers of resident source. Results There was no significant relationship between dose deviation and the radius for the two applicators. When an applicator was present, the actual dose delivered to a patient was smaller than the planned dose. The dose deviation of the applicator#101?001 was no more than 1%, while the dose deviation of the applicator#084?350 was close to 3%. The dose deviation remained the same when the number of resident source changed. Conclusions The plastic applicator, if possible, is the best choice for brachytherapy right now. In a long term, in order to promote the accuracy of brachytherapy, current dosimetry algorithm should be improved, and the impacts of the applicator made of metal, such as stainless steel, on dose distribution should be taken into account.

Acute rejection is one of the serious early postoperative complications after liver transplantation.Many studies have shown that acute rejection was mainly mediated by T cells,while humoral factors were responsible for chronic rejection.However,accumulating evidences have demonstrated that humoral immune factors also played an important role in early acute rejection and usually resulted in severe adverse events.Here we clarify the role of humoral immunity in liver transplant rejection,which may help guide the clinical management of such patients with humoral rejection after liver transplantation.
