Objective To evaluate the methods of measuring platelet-associated antibody PAIgG/ PAIgA/ PAIgM by flow cytometry(FCM) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and to investigate their diagnostic value for patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods With FCM and ELISA respectively, PAIg on the platelet membrane and in plasma were measured in 19 patients with ITP and 17 healthy volunteers, and were compared with each other in order to find out whether there were differences in these groups.Results FCM and ELISA measurement in patients with ITP were significantly higher than those in control group (P0.05). Compared with the results of ELISA, the positive percentage of PAIgG measured by FCM(84%) in ITP patients was slightly higher than that by ELISA(79%).Conclusion The platelet-associated antibodies of PAIgG/ PAIgA/ PAIgM, especially PAIgG,are important for diagnosing ITP. FCM, in combination with ELISA, may improve the reliability and the positive percentage of detection in ITP patients.

Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of lysophosphatidic acid(LPA),tumor-specific growth factor(TSGF)and carbohydrate antigen 1 9-9(CA1 9-9)in the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods The ser-um levels of LPA,TSGF and CA1 9-9 in 97 cases of patients with NSCLC(NSCLC group),43 cases of patients with benign lung disease(benign lung disease group)and 50 cases of healthy individuals(healthy control group)were detected,and diagnostic value of combined detection of these three tumor makers in the diagnosis of NSCLC was analysed.Results Serum levels of LPA,TSGF and CA1 9-9 in the NSCLC group were significantly higher than those in the benign lung disease group and healthy control group,had statistically significant differences(P <0.05).The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection of LPA,TSGF and CA1 9-9 was 68.63% and 37.1 7% respectively,and the sensitivity was higher than that of single detection and combined detection of any two of the three indicators.Conclusion Combined detection of tumor markers can improve the sensitivity in the diagnosis of NSCLC, which could provide reliable laboratory references for diagnosing NSCLC.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of dose verification of intensity modulated planning of helical tomotherapy (HT) using three-dimensional semiconductor array (Delta4) and find a more time-consuming and accurate method to validate the delivery dose.Methods Delta4 detector array was used to verify the HT plan dose distribution of 10 patients.The precise setup of detector array was guided and registered by MVCT imaging.After the implementation of delivery,the measured dose distributions on the corresponding planes were compared with those calculated by the treatment planning system (TPS).According to the different acceptance criteria combination of dose difference or distance to agreement at different threshold level including 3％/2 mm,3％/3 mm,3％/4 mm,3％/5 mm at TH5,TH10,TH20,TH30,TH70,TH90,the γ analysis method was utilized to evaluate the dose verification.Results The dose distribution measured by the Delta4 was well consistent with that calculated by the TPS.The mean γpassing rates were all above 94.89％.Conclusions Delta4 detector array can get satisfying results when used in HT plan dose verification and is a viable tool to replace traditional film dosimetry system in clinical quality assurance work.

Objective To use helical tomotherapy ( HT ) for determining the difference between actual doses and planning doses to the target volume and organs at risk ( OARs ) in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radiotherapy, and to provide guidance for the clinical treatment. Methods Localization and delineation of the target volume and OARs were performed by computed tomography ( CT) in 21 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma receiving radical radiotherapy using HT. All patients underwent megavoltage CT ( MVCT) scan prior to treatment. The obtained MVCT images were used for dose reconstruction in the adaptive module of HT, in which the actual dose was obtained and the non?image?guided dose was simulated. Each single dose distribution and the corresponding CT image were sent to software MIM6. 0 for superimposition, and the overall dose was obtained. The initial plan, image?guided plan, and non?image?guided plan were named Plan?1, 2, and 3, respectively. The dose distribution in the target volume and OARs was compared between the three plans with t ? test or wilcoxon test . Results Compared with those in Plan?1, the D98 values for the planning gross tumor volume ( PGTV) and planning target volume ( PTV) in Plan?2 were significantly reduced by 1. 16% and 2. 3%, respectively ( P=0. 025;P=0. 043);the volumes of the left and right parotids in Plan?2 were significantly reduced by 46. 0% and 46. 5% on average, respectively ( P=0. 000);the distances between the midline and the center?of?mass for left and right parotids were significantly reduced by 6. 9% and 6. 5%, respectively ( P=0. 000);the V26 and Dmean for both parotid glands were significantly elevated by 32. 8% and 25. 2%, respectively ( P=0. 000) . Compared with those in Plan?1, the D98 values for PGTV, PTV?1, and PTV?2 in Plan?3 were significantly reduced by 2. 0%, 1. 9%, and 2. 4%, respectively ( P=0. 001;P=0. 007;P=0. 036);the V26 and Dmean for both parotid glands in Plan?3 were significantly elevated by 33. 6% and 25. 3%, respectively ( P=0. 000);Dmax to the spinal cord was significantly increased by 6. 9%( P=0. 005) . There was no significant difference in D2 to the spinal cord between Plan?2 and Plan?1( P=0. 392) . Conclusions The doses to both parotid glands increase during HT for nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which is closely associated with the shift of the parotid glands toward the midline. Image?guided radiotherapy does not enhance the dose to the target volume, but reduces the dose to the spinal cord.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of ederavone on oxidative stress response during one-lung ventilation (OLV).MetihodsThirty ASAⅠ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged40-64 yr,weighing50-85 kg undergoing elective esophageal cancer resection were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =15 each):control group (group C) and edaravone group (group E).In group E edavavone was infused immediately after tracheal intubation at 60.0 mg/h for 30 min.Then the infusion rate was reduced to7.5 mg/h and maintained until the end of operation.In group C equal volume of normal saline was infused instead of edaravone.Arterial and venous blood samplea were taken immediately before skin incision,at 30 min of OLV and 30 min after re-expansion of the collapsed lung for blood gas analysis and determination of serum MDA and 8-iso-PGF2a concentrations.PaO2/FiO2,PA-aDO2 and respiratory index (RI) (RI =PA-aDO2/PaO2 ) were calculated.ResultsPA-a DO2,RI and serum concentrations of MDA and 8-iso-PGF2a were significantly lower at 30 min after re-expansion of the collapsed lung in group E than in group C( P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionEdaravone can attenuate oxidative stress response during OLV.

Purpose:To study the pharmacokinetic characteristics and systemic exposure of intraperitoneal chemotherapy drugs for ovarian cancer. Methods:Ten ovarian cancer patients received intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 5 FU 750mg/m 2 and DDP 60mgm 2 a week later after operating at Shanghai Cancer Hospital. The blood samples were extracted at 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 24 hour after infusion and then the concentration of drugs in the samples were analyzed by HPLC and the atomic absorption spectrum methods. Results:The curve of concentration via time of two drugs could be described well by a one compartment model with first order absorption. The pharmacokinetic parameters were: 5 FU: Ke = 0.45?0.18 /h, Ka = 7.59?4.63 /h, T(peak) = 0.87?0.30 h, C(max) = 2.46 ? 1.12 ?g/ml, AUC = 8.38?4.71 ?g?h/ml, Vd = 316?69.4 ml/kg; DDP: Ke = 0.014?0.01 /h, Ka = 1.31?1.03 /h, T(peak) = 4.72?2.81 h, C(max) = 0.85?0.28 ?g/ml, AUC = 85.6?55.7 ?g?h/ml, Vd = 60.3?32.6 ml/kg. The AUC 0～24h of 5 FU was 8.4 ?g?h/ml. The AUC 0～24h of DDP was 14.4 ?g?h/ml. Conclusions:The systemic exposure of 5 FU in intraperitoneal chemotherapy was not lower than in intravenous injection on the pharmcokinetics, and that of the DDP was lower.

Objective:To study the curative efficacy of decitabine combine with CAG regimen in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and its effects on the serum Interferon-γ (IFN-γ),alpha hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels.Methods:70 cases of patients with acute myeloid leukemia who were treated from February 2013 to October 2016 in our hospital were selected as research objects.According to the random number table,the patients were divided into the observation group (n=35) and the control group (n=35).Both groups of patients were treated conventional treatment.The control group was treated with CAG scheme,intravenous injection of aclarubicin,20 mg each time,granulocyte colony stimulating factor,300 μg each time,subcutaneous intravenous cytarabine,10～15 mg/m2 each time,while the observation group was treated with intravenous drip of decitabine on the basis of control group,15 mg/m2 each time.Then the therapeutic effect,serum interferon-γ (IFN-γ),alpha hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels before and after treatment,incidence of adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results:After treatment,the total effective of observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group [91.42％(32/35)vs68.57％(24/35)] (P ＜0.05);the serum IFN-γ,HBDH,LDH levels were significantly higher than those of the control group [(3.21± 1.01)pg/ml vs.(5.13 ± 1.90)pg/mL,(103.62± 26.39)U/L vs.(118.80± 28.60)U/L,(101.36± 27.32)U/L vs.(123.08 ± 30.59)U/L] (P ＜0.05);the incidence rate of adverse reactions was significantly lower than that of the control group [20.00％(7/35) vs.42.85％(15/35)(P ＜0.05)].Conclusion:Decitabine combined with CAG regimen was more effective for acute myeloid leukemia than CAG regimen alone,which might be related to reduce the serum levels of IFN-γ, HBDH and LDH.
