International Journal of Surgery 2008;35(4):276-278
To seek the ideal replacing grafts of blood vessel,many different methods of tissue engineering blood vessel(TEBV)have been created,such as collagen gel-based,biodegradable scaffold-based,self-assembled vascular grafts,and peritoneal and pleural cavities as bioreactors to grow autologous vascular grafts,etc.Some TEBVs have partially or completely met the requirements for clinic,even have applied in clinic.In this article reviewed,the models with better characters in big animals and clinical tests,and discussed the current problems of TEBV and looked forward to future clinical application.
2.Diagnosis and therapy of metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(4):270-273
Early diagnosis,early treatment and the correct therapeutic approch are the keys for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) treatment.Currently,PET-CT is the best modality for distant metastasis staging of NPC.Cispalatin-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment method of metastatic NPC.Molecular targeted therapy is possible to further increase curative effect.When the lesions are limited,local palliative treatment may improve prognosis if patient's illness is controled by chemotherapy.

The apparent digestibilities of two preparations of corn as staples in men were estimated during March and April in 1979. Seven healthy adult men, who lived in this region for many years, were accustomed to eat corn as their staple diets. Each of the two preparations from the same batch of corn was used in the experiment. One preparation was "cooked corn meal" and the other was Jian-bing, the latter was considered the better way of cooking. Other ingredients of food in these two test diets were the same. During the test periods, the volunteers ate the test diets and drank boiled water ad lib, but the quantities were recorded. No other foodstuffs and drinks were allowed. The nutritive values of test diets were sufficient to meet the subjects' physiological needs. The 12 days period was divided into adaptative and testing periods of three days each for the two kinds of test diets. During the test periods, the total foodstuffs and the volunteers' faeces were analysed for the contents of water, anhydrates, total ni- trogen, crude fat, ash and fiber in the samples. From the data obtained, the apparent digestibilities of anhydrates, total nitrogen and crude fat ware calculated. Urine nitrogen was analysed and the nitrogen balance was calculated. The body weight at the beginning and the end of test periods were measured.The apparent digestibility (%) of anhydrates was 93.31?0.393 and 94.79 ? 0.578, total nitrogrn 84.60 ? 0.843 and 87.77 ? 1.080 and crude fat 86.32 ? 1.296 and 94.68 ? 0.838 in cooked corn meal diet and the corn flour Jian-bing diet respectively. The apparent digestibility in corn Jian-bing diet was higher statistically than that of cooked corn diet. Body weights fluctuated within the normal range. The nitrogen balances of all subjects were positive and the difference of nitrogen balance studies between the two test diets was not statistically significant.The results of the experiment suggest that, the differences of apparent digestibility between two diets was mainly due to the methods of preparation, Jian-bing being better than cooked corn diet in human nutrition.

Objective:To evaluate effect of different induction chemotherapy on the clinical efficacy of concurrent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and chemotherapy and identify the prognostic factors in non-endemic locally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.Methods:Clinical data of 210 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ B(excluding stage T 3-4N 0M 0) nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated in our hospital from 2012 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the efficacy of different induction chemotherapy, all patients were divided into the effective group (14 cases of complete remission and 165 cases of partial remission) and ineffective group (31 cases of stability and 0 case of progression). Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan- Meier method. Multivariate analysis was conducted by using Cox′s regression model. Results:Compared with the ineffective group, the 3-year overall survival (OS)(89.2% vs. 74.2%, P=0.005), recurrence-free survival (RFS)(93.0% vs. 81.9%, P=0.010) and progression-free survival (PFS)(80.2% vs. 58.1%, P=0.005) were significantly higher in the effective group, whereas the distant metastasis-free survival did not significantly differ between two groups (84.1% vs.69.7%, P=0.070). Multivariate analysis showed that the tumor response to induction chemotherapy was an independent prognostic factor for OS, RFS and PFS. Conclusions:Tumor response to induction chemotherapy might be a prognostic factor for non-endemic locally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Clinical prognosis of patients with poor response to induction chemotherapy is even worse. More intensive treatment and closer follow-up may be needed for these patients.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of treatment on malignant intracranial gliomas with the chemotherapy of intracerebral implantation of 5-Fu biodegradable polymers combined with radiotherapy of interstitial implantation of 125Ⅰ after microsurgery resection. Methods Sixty-five patients with malignant intracranial gliomas who had underwent craniotomy microsurgical resection were intraoperatively implanted in the tumor bed around with 5-Fu biodegradable polymers and 125Ⅰ seeds. After first implantation (3 months to 1 year), stereotactic guided implantation was carried out 1 or 2 times again. The patients were followed up for 6-36 months to observe the efficacy, edema and adverse reactions, compared with follow-up of 40 patients with malignant intracranial gliomas treated by conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy after microsurgical total resection. Results Within 1 week after the implantation the patients had headache significantly, WBC of cerebrospinal fluid was increased to some degrees, and edema was obvious compared with surgery alone. All patients were treated and discharged. Forty-four patients were completely followed-up and the survival period was significantly longer. Within 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years, there were 4 cases (9.1 %) of recurrence and no case of death, 14 cases (31.8 %) of recurrence and no case of death, 20 cases (45.5 %) of recurrence and 12 cases (27.6 %) of death and 29 cases (65.9 %) of recurrence and 20 cases(45.5 %) of death, respectively. No obviously adverse reactions were found and the quality of life was significantly improved. Conclusion Microsurgical total resection is the key of the treatment. It is an alternative treatment of human malignant gliomas in the safe and effective way that the local chemotherapy of intracerebral implantation of 5-Fu biodegradable polymers combined with local sensitivity radiotherapy of interstitial implantation of 125Ⅰ after microsurgical resection.

Objective To evaluate the long-term outcomes of patients with advanced N-stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and the effects of IMRT combined with different chemotherapies on the patients' prognosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 179 patients with advanced N-stage NPC who were admitted to our hospital from January 2001 to January 2008.Of the 179 patients,33 received IMRT alone,and 146 received chemoradiotherapy (CRT).Among the 146 patients,71 received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT),66 received induction chemotherapy (IC) plus CCRT,and 9 received CCRT plus adjuvant chemotherapy (AC).Results The follow-up rate was 96.5%,and 133 patients were followed up for at least 5 years.The 5-year overall survival rate was 69.0%.The patients receiving IMRT alone and patients receiving CRT had 5-year overall survival rates of 47.7% and 73.7% (x2 =13.91,P =0.000),5-year distant metastasisfree survival (DMFS) rates of 49.2% and 68.3% (x2 =4.97,P =0.026),relapse-free survival rates of 74.5% and 92.4% (x2 =9.87,P =0.002),and progression-free survival rates of 37.5% and 65.1% (x2 =11.65,P =0.001).Among the patients receiving CRT,those receiving CCRT,IC plus CCRT,and CCRT plus AC had similar survival rates.IC plus CCRT resulted in a significantly higher DMFS than IMRT alone (x2 =4.65,P =0.031).Conclusions The distant metastasis rate is still high in patients with advanced N-stage NPC after IMRT,for whom IC plus concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT may be a better treatment regimen.

Objective To investigate the long-term outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in different stages treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and explore their treatment strategies.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 868 NPC patients without distant metastasis who received radical IMRT from May 2001 to October 2008.These patients were divided into early N0 (T1-2N0) group (n =137),early N1 (T1-2N1) group (n =129),locally advanced (T3-4N0-1) group (n =322),regionally advanced (T1-2 N2-3) group (n=107),and locoregionally advanced (T3-4 N2-3) group (n =173).There groups were compared in terms of treatment outcome and treatment strategy.Results The follow-up rate was 91.4%,and 314 patients completed 5-years follow-up.The 5-year overall survival rate,local recurrence-free rate,and distant metastasis-free rate (DMFR) were 83.5%,91.8%,and 84.6%,respectively.The early N0 group had the best treatment outcome,with a 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate up to 99.1%.Each group had a similar outcome after receiving either IMRT alone or IMRT combined with chemotherapy.The locally advanced group and regionally advanced group had similar failure patterns and treatment outcomes.The locoregionally advanced group had the worst treatment outcome,with a 5-year DMFR of 67.2% and a DSS of 68.0%.The regionally advanced group and locoregionally advanced group had a similar treatment outcome after receiving IMRT alone,induction chemotherapy plus IMRT,or concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT.Conclusions Patients with NPC in different stages have different survival outcomes.It is recommended that different treatment strategies should be adopted according to the T and N stages of NPC.IMRT alone can produce satisfactory results in patients with T1-2N0 NPC,but a more effective medication should be added to IMRT in patients with advanced NPC,particularly those with T3-4N2-3 NPC who have a relatively low DMFR.
