1.EMLA-ALK fusion gene in non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(3):212-214
EML4-ALK fusion gene can improve the expression of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein and activate ALK inducing tumor cells proliferation and anti-apoptosis.EMLA-ALK fusion gene in nonsmall-cell lung cancer which has unique clinical and pathological features is more common in young femal,never smokers,and adenocarcinoma patients,At present,EML4-ALK fusion gene can be detected using RT-PCR,FISH and IHC.Crizotinib,an ALK inhibitor,can block the gene's signal pathway and restrain tumor's activity.

With the improvement of radiation therapy technology and the comprehensive treatment of malignant tumors,the survival time of patients with malignant tumors is gradually extended.In recent years,carotid stenosis and cerebrovascular disease complications after radiation therapy have received increasing attention.Existing studies have shown that carotid stenosis after radiation therapy is not only associated with atherosclerosis,it is likely to be an independent vascular lesion.This article reviews the correlation between head,neck and cerebral ischemic events,characteristics and mechanisms of vascular injury after radiation therapy,as well as the risk factors for carotid stenosis,clinical manifestations,and diagnosis and treatment methods after radiation therapy.

Objectives To study the survival,growth and function restoration of fetal ovary allo transplant. Methods Murine fetal ovaries were grafted subcutaneously and under renal capsule to spayed adult female rats.On day 5,10,25-35,beyond 35 after transplantation,the grafts were removed and underwent histological and histochemical examination. Serum estrodiol and progesterone levels were determined. Results It can be divided three periods according the HE staining:On the day 5 of transplantation, there were many blood cells in the graft.On day 10,there were a lot of primordial and primary follicles in ovarian cortex of the graft.On day 25 and later,there were follicles in different developing stages, corpora luteas and interstitial glands in the graft.The positive reaction of 3-β-HSDH and oil red O and the results of serum estrodiol and progesterone showed that transplanted fetal ovary restored secreting function. Conclusions Fetal ovary allotransplant can be survival,develop and restore the function of secreting sexhormone.

Objective To study the effects of different enteric-coated aspirin tablets on upper gastrointestinal tract in the elderly. Methods 404 inpatients aged more than 65 years in last three years who took enteric-coated aspirin tablets (100mg/d) for more than three months were analyzed.They were divided into two groups: bayaspirin-treated group (232 cases) and control group with ordinary enteric-coated aspirin tablet treatment (172 cases). The clinical data and the results of gastroseopy were compared between two groups, and the effects of two kinds of enteric-coated aspirin tablets on upper gastrointestinal tract in the elderly were analyzed by Chi-square test. Results The upper gastrointestinal bleeding rates were 20.3% in Bayaspirin-treated group (47/232) and 32.0% in control group (55/172), and there was significant difference between two groups(χ2=7.19,P<0.01)Gastroscopy indicated that gastroduodenal inflammation occurred in 16 patients (6.9% and peptic ulcer occurred in 8 patients (3.5%) in bayaspirin-treated group, while gastroduodenal inflammation occurred in 12 patients (7.0%) and peptic ulcer occurred in 36 patients(20.9%)in control group. The difference of the incidence of peptic ulcer between two groups had statistical significance(χ2= 31.10,P<0.01). The incidences of gastrointestinal adverse reactions were 8.6% (20/232) in bayaspirin-treated group and 23.3% (40/172) in control group, and there was a statistical difference between two groups. Conclusions Compared with ordinary enteric-coated aspirin tablet, bayaspirin has less adverse effects on upper gastrointestinal tract in the elderly and is more safe for treatment.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of short-term biological agent infliximab and immunosuppression combined therapy in patients with active ileocolonic Crohn′s diseases (CD)and to evaluate the mucosal healing.Methods From January 2013 to July 2014,forty hospitalized patients with active ileocolonic CD received at least six times scheduled infliximab injection were enrolled.At week 0, second,and sixth,infliximab 5 mg/kg was administered to induce remission.From the second week, immunosuppression was added.After that,infliximab 5 mg/kg was administered every eight weeks for maintenance treatment.The 36th week after treatment was the end point of follow-up.Before treatment and at the end point of follow-up,the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP),hemoglobin (Hb),clinical remission Crohn′s disease activity index (CDAI)< 150 points,mucosal healing simplified endoscopic activity score for Crohn′s disease (SES-CD)was 0 to 2,partial mucosal healing (SES-CD decreased,but>2 ) and deep remission (achieved both clinical remission and mucosal healing)were compared.T test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were performed for comparison before and after treatment.Results At the 36 th week after treatment,the clinical remission rate was 95 .0% (38/40 ),mucosal healing rate,partial mucosal healing rate and deep remission rate were 62.5 % (25/40),35 .0% (14/40)and 62.5 % (25/40), respectively.The mucosal inflammation of only one case (2.5 %)was not improved.After treatment,the CDAI was 99.3 ±29.3,which was lower than that before treatment (301 .3 ±73.1 )and the difference was statistically significant (t = 17.2,P <0.01 ).Median blood CRP level was 0.8 mg/L(0.1 mg/L, 8.1 mg/L),which was lower than that before treatment (26.8 mg/L(16.1 mg/L,61 .0 mg/L)),the difference was statistically significant (Z = - 5 .3,P < 0.01 ).However,the level of Hb ((134.0 ± 16.0)g/L)was higher than that before treatment ((117.0 ±20.0)g/L),the difference was statistically significant (t=-6.3,P <0.01 ).The median SES-CD was 0 (0,5 ),which was lower than that before treatment (14(8,24)),and the difference was statistically significant (Z =-5 .4,P <0.01 ).Conclusion The short-term (36 weeks)infliximab and immunosuppression combined therapy can achieve high mucosal healing rate and deep remission rate in active ileocolonic CD patients.

Objective To investigate the appearance and characteristics of hepatic tuberculosis lesions on low mechanical index contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Methods Eight patients with hepatic tuberculosis lesions were studied with conventional ultrasound and contrast-enhanced ultrasound. Lesions,distribution.size,echogenieity,blood flow,enhancement phase,enhancement patterns and intensity were studied. ResuIts Fifteen lesions were found in eight patients. On conventional ultrasound,mean size of the lesions was(21.7±10.7)mm×(30.3±22.4)mm,and 66.7%(10/15)lesions located under liver capdule,and 33.3%(5/15)were in hepatic parenchyma.All lesions were hypoechoic except the largest one (50 mm x 102 mm)which demonstrated heterogeneous.Doppler signals were not demonstrated in all 15 lesions.After administration of SonoVue,satisfied image data were obtained in 13 lesions for aterial phase,and 15 lesions for portal venous phase and parenchyma phase.84.6%(11/13)of the lesions demonstrated hyperenhancing on aterial phase,mean enhancing start time was(8.6±1.6)s,ranging from 5 s to 10 s.and mean enhancing end time was(25.6±2.8)s,ranging from 20 s to 29 s. Of 13 lesions,6 lesions demonstrated circle periphery hyper-enchanCement,5 lesions demonstrated whole hyper-enchancement,and 2 lesions appeared hypoenhancement on arterial phase. All lesions demonstrated either hypoenhancing or non-enhancement on portal venous phase and parenchyma phase. Conclusions Low mechanical index contrast-enhanced ultrasound can reveal the blood flow status of hepatic tuberculous lesions and will facilitate the diagnosis of hepatic tuberculosis.
