Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells play important roles in the treatment of solid tumors.In particular,they have broad application prospects for the patients with recurrence or metastasis.Although recently CIK treatment strategy has achieved encouraging results in preclinical studies,there are still some difficulties in the clinical applications.Some key issues remain to be resolved,such as how to ensure that the antitumor immune effector can be a lot of amplified and can stay longer in the body,how to selectively kill tumor cells,and how to ensure the security of application.

The tissue engineering technology that developed in the 1980s brings a hope for the regeneration of human organs. It is feasible to construct by-pass vessels, which have no immune resistance but are capable of anticoagulation. At present, a huge number of researches have provided the necessary basis for the construction. However, there are still some difficulties on the points of induction and proliferation of endothelial cells, development of new materials for scaffold and co-culture of seed cells in scaffold. These difficulties have become the bottle neck of tissue engineered blood vessels. The tissue engineering vessels are nowadays absent in clinical practice. With the progress in researches of tissue engineering, it is strongly believed that human organs and tissues can be constructed using tissue engineering technology, thus satisfying the donors of organ transplantation.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous infusion of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide(rhBNP)versus Sodium Nitroprusside on treating patients with decompensated acute heart failure.Discuss rhBNP 's effect on connective tissue of heart.Methods A total of 44 patients characterized of decompensated acute heart failure were enrolled in this study.The patients were randomLy allocated to rhBNP group who receive rhBNP(1.5?g/kg bolus intravenous injection followed by 0.0075?g/(kg?min)for 24 hours,n=23)and Sodium Nitroprusside group(10 ?g/ rain for 24 hours,n=21 ).Blood pressure,heart rate,dyspnea grade,24 hours fluid in-and-output and improvement in patient symptoms and signs were evaluated and adverse events were documented.Results Dyspnea and symptom im- provements were much more significant in rhBNP group compared to Sodium Nitroprusside group(P

The development of the minimally invasive targeted ablation tendency creates a new therapy for lung cancer. This treatment is featured with considerably extensive indication ,excellent local control and survival time, low incidence and controllable complications. There are many strong proofs of clinical efficacy and safety in this field presently.
