Cancer Research and Clinic 1997;0(03):-
Cancer stem cell(CSC)plays a very important role in the genesis、relapse、metastasis and drug resistance of cancer.Traditional chemotherapeutics may kill a large part of malignant cells,but it has little effect on scanty CSC.It is enough for the relic CSC to make cancer relapse and metastasis.Targeted therapy aimed directly at CSC is the only way to cure cancer fundamentally.The specific biologic character of CSC is helpful for studying and developing targeted therapy to CSC.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of laparoscopic surgery combined with marvelon,gestrinone and leuprolide in treatment of chronic endometriosis.Methods 50 cases of endometriosis were collected.They were randomly divided into observation group and control group,each group having 25 cases.The control group underwent laparoscopic surgery and the observation group underwent laparoscopic surgery combined marvelon,gestrinone and leuprolide for 3 months.The two groups were compared in clinical effects,recurrence and pregnancy rate,as well as the operation situation.Results The effective rate was 92.0% (23/25) in the observation group and 64.0% (16/25) in the control group.The effective rate of observation group was obviously higher than that of the control group(P < 0.05).The recurrence rate was 8.0% (2/25)in the observation group,and 32.0% (8/25) in the control group.The recurrence rate of combination group was obviously lower than that of the simple surgical group(P < 0.05).The pregnancy rate was 80.0% in the observation group;and 48.0% in the control group after treatment.The pregnancy rate of the observation group was obviously higher than that of the control group(P < 0.05).Liver damage or other adverse reactions didn't occur to any group after the treatment.The mean time of leaving bed was (1.4 ± 0.4) d after operation in the observation group vs (3.6 ± 1.5) d after operation in the control group.Length of hospital stay was (7.6 ± 3.5) d in the observation group vs (11.5 ± 3.9) d in the control group.The difference had statistical significance(all P < 0.05).Conclusions Laparoscopic surgery combined with marvelon,gestrinone and leuprolide is superior to pure surgery group in treatment of endometriosis.It can improve the effective and pregnancy rate,and reduce the recurrence rate.No obvious adverse reactions can be found,thus it is worth of clinical promotion.

Background At present,researches about retinitis and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) mainly focus on observation and analysis of the cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced ocular complication.To screen the effective drugs is very important for the treatment of AIDS-related CMV-induced retinitis.Objective This study was to describe the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment outcome of CMV-induced retinitis with BAY 38-4766 and evaluate the relationship between CMV retinitis and AIDS.Methods This was a case observational study.A total of 154 eyes of 84 patients with CMV retinitis and AIDS were enrolled in this study.Before the definitive diagnosis of CMV retinitis,the AIDS course of these patients were 4-26 months.In the initial examination,the visual acuity ranged from finger counting to 0.4,and the number of CD4+ T-lymphocyte was 0-30 cells/μl.The survival time in the patients ranged from 3 weeks to 18 months.BAY 38-4766 was used in 117 eyes of 62 patients,and 102 eyes of 53 patients showed the srinked of retinal lesion and improvement of vision (0.1-0.7).BAY 38-4766 was used to treat the CMV retinitis in 117 eyes of 62 patients with the initial intravenous dose of 5 mg/kg,twice per day for consecutive 2 weeks and followed by oral dose 1 gram per day.The follow-up duration was 2 weeks to 18 months.The fundus feature,visual acuity and CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts were analyzed.This study proposal was approved by Ethic Committee of the 474th Hospital of PLA,and written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to entering this study.Results The numbers of CD4+T-lymphocytes increased to 12-402 eells/μl after administration of BAY 38-4766.The CMV retinitis aggravated and the vision decreased in the untreated 22 patients with the CD4+T-lymphocytes 0-30 cells/μl.Conclusions CMV retinitis is the most common intraocular complication in patients with AIDS.Diagnosis of CMV retinitis is based on the characteristics of necrotizing retinitis,which is typically associated with retinal hemorrhage and vasculitis.BAY 38-4766 is an effective drug for the treatment of CMV retinitis.

Objective To investigate the expression level of miRNA-146a (miR-146a) in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells aging and age-related macular degeneration (AMD),and discuss its regulation mechanism of AMD by repressing VEGF-A.Methods The expressions of miR-146 and VEGF-A were examined by qRT-PCR in RPE cells in mice aged 2 months,8 months,12 months,18 months or 24 months,and in RPE cells from 75 years old AMD patients.The protein level of VEGF-A was also detected by Western Blotting.Finally,the effects of overexpression of miR-146a in APRE-19 cell line on expression of VEGF-A was checked.Results MiR-146 was up-regulated to 8 times or 24 times at 18 months or 24 months aged mice,and the expression of VEGFA was down-regulated in aging RPE from 1.5 times to 0.8 times.However,the expression of miR-146 decreased to 14.5 times and VEGF-A increased in RPE cells of AMD.In cultured cells,overexpression of miR-146a inhibited the expression of VEGF-A.Conclusion Up-regulation of miR-146a in aging RPE cells and its down-regulation in AMD suggest a potential of miR-146a as molecular marker.MiR-146a overexpression inhibits the expression of VEGF-A,supporting a potential clinical treatment of miR-146 in AMD.

Objective To investigate the anti tumor effects of cytotoxic T lymphocytes induced by tumor antigen specific dendritic cells. Methods Soluble tumor antigen was prepared by four freeze thaw cycles of gastric tumor cell line SCG7901. Anti gastric tumor vaccine was acquired by co incubation of tumor antigen and mouse bone marrow derived dendritic cells and cultured with granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor and interleukin 4. Antigen specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes were induced by this tumor vaccine from the spleen and were applied to tumor bearing nude mice. Results Tumor growth was significantly inhibited and the apoptosis of tumor cells was promoted extensively. Conclusions Antigen specific dendritic cell tumor vaccine may play an important role in future immunotherapy of gastric cancer.

Objective To compare and evaluate the effect of PBL in clinical teaching of Pediatrics.Methods Among students of Grade 2002 in our university,two types of PBL,pre-learning and case-discussion,were used in their clinical learning of Pediatrics. And then,their effects were evaluated and compared with those of traditional learning method.Results More than 60% of the students agreed with PBL methods,and they considered PBL favorable to practice scientific logical thinking of clinical affairs,to increase their capabilities of learning,oral expression,communication and cooperation.The teachers agreed with PBL methods too for the better learning effect resulting from PBL.Conclusion PBL fits the needs of medical learning reformation.To train new type of doctors in century 21st,it is necessary to use kinds of new learning methods,including PBL methods and standardized patient (SP)in clinical teaching.
