Purpose:To assess the therapeutic value of perc utaneous portal vein chemoembolization (PVE) for primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC) with portal vein tumor thrombus. Methods:45 unresectable PHC with portal vein tumor thrombus cas es were randomly divided into two groups. The observation group was treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)+PVE, while the control group wa s treated with TACE only. The changes of AFP, response rates of portal vein tumo r thrombus and survival rates of one year were analyzed respectively. Results:The levels of AFP before and after treatment were(730 ?190)?g/L and (515+?395)?g/L in the observation group,(752?183)?g/L a nd (710?213)?g/L in the control group respectively. The difference between t he two groups was significant (P

DNA polymerase iota (Polt),as well as Revl,Polκ and Polη,are all Y family DNA polymerases,which are able to replicate damaged DNA via translesion synthesis pathway.However,Pol(t) has the lowest fidelity among all DNA polymerases in both correct and inaccurate DNA templates.Also Pol(t) can bypass certain DNA damages and accumulate mutations.Recent studies show that the aberrant expression of Pol(t) is observed in human uveal melanoma,breast cancer,bladder cancer,lung cancer and esophageal cancer,which may contribute to the tumorigenesis and progression of tumor.The special role of Pol(t) in replicating damaged DNA may contribute to the resistance in oncotherapy.

Objective To explore the value of thyroid-stimulating antibody(TSAb) and degree of goiter in predicting the outcome of Graves'disease after antithyroid drug treatment. Methods Seventy-one patients with Graves'disease were given antithyroid drugs for (2. 8±1. 4)years and then followed up for(22±6.0)months.Finally,age,gender,thyroid function,TSAb and goiter size at the time of drug withdrawal were compared between the relapsed and relieved groups. TSAb was measured in all patients by using HEK-hTSHR cells. Results Eleven of 71 patients relapsed during the follow-up after drug withdrawal. The relapse rate (42. 9% ,6/14)in patients with positive TSAb was significantly higher than that (8.8%, 5/57) in patient with negative TSAb (X2 = 9.97, P<0.01). The relapse rates in patients with normal size thyroid, Ⅰ degree goiter,Ⅱ degree goiter were 6.25%, 12.2%,35.7% respectively. TSAb activity, positive rate and goiter size of the relapsed patients at the time of drug withdrawal were significantly higher than those of relieved patients (P<0.05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion TSAb activity and goiter size at the time of drug withdrawal are two effective prognostic markers of relapse in Graves' disease treated with antithyroid drugs.
