Objective:This study investigates the clinical effect of bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and/or hyperthermia. for the recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma. Methods:Sixty-three patients with recurrent soft tissue sarcoma from January 2012 to March 2014 were treated by bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and/or hyperthermia. The patients were exposed to radiation dose levels of 4-5.5 Gy/fraction (10-13 fractions) with total doses of 44-55 Gy and 55%-70%isodose, including 95%PTV. The radiosensitizer, sodium glycodidazolum (CMNa), was administered to all patients at 1.00-1.50 g V.D qod at 5-6 fractions 0-3 h before bodyγ-knife treat-ment. Hyperthermia for 30 patients was delivered during the bodyγ-knife treatment with two fractions/week for a total of six frac-tions. Results:The total response rate was 77.7%three months after the treatment. The one and two year local control rates were 78.8%and 63.6%, respectively, while the survival rates of patients treated with bodyγ-knife with radiosensitizer at one and two years were 75.7%and 63.6%, respectively. The local control rates at one and two years were 83.6%and 70.0%, respectively, while the surviv-al rates at one and two years for bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and hyperthermia treatments were 80.0%and 63.3%, re-spectively. Serious complications of radiotherapy were not observed. Conclusion:Bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and/or hyperthermia is effective for recurrent soft tissue sarcoma.

Objective To inspect the correlation of synthetic effect criteria to sensitivity,reliability of late stage lung cancer curative effect verdict and median survival time. Method Using size change of tumor,symptom change related to tumor,Karnofsky score,body weight etc.as synthetic effect criteria and nstituting clinical synthetic effect criteria,to assess the curative effect of late stage lung cancer patients who received different treatment in department of tumor of Xiyuan Hospital between March 1997 and March 2000, to analysis medium survival time, and being compared with RR of tumor.Result 52 patients entered this experiment, in which 42 patients were assessable (follow up), 13 patients were effective(30.95％ ),17 were patients stable(40.48％ ),12 patients deteriorated (28.57％ ).The result of tumor objective remission rate: CR is 0,PR is 16.67％ (7 patients),NC is 64.29％ (27 patients) and PD is 19.05％ (8 patients).There was apparent difference between two effect criteria(P< 0.05).The mean survival time of this group is (9.3± 1.6)months,median survival time is 10.5 months(2～ 8months),survival rate of one year is 33.33％ (14 patients).In the patients who live longer than median survival time, most of them survive associated with tumor existence who are in NC of tumor objective remission rate, but also in the effective column of synthetic effect criteria. Compared with tumor objective remission rate,the synthetic effect criteria have more apparent correlation to survival time. Conclusion In the assessment of late stage lung cancer,synthetic effect criteria has better sensitivity and reliability,and emphasize survival quality,at same time it reflect the reaction of tumor and host to treatment,it reflect prognosis of tumor preferably and have better correlation to the survival time. It can be used as clinical effect criteria of late stage lung cancer after further consummation.

To study the effect of glucagon-likepeptide 1(GLP-1)receptor agonist on insulin resistance and hepatic oxidative stress in rats with diabetes mellitus combined with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. 36 male SD rats were served as the experimental animal and randomly divided into control group, model group, and GLP-1 group. The rats of control group were given routine diet with intraperitoneal injection of normal saline, those in model group were given high fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of normal saline, while GLP-1 group rats were fed with high fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of liraglutide. After 4 weeks of treatment, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism, liver injury and oxidative stress were all assessed. Serum fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, alanine transaminase(ALT), aspartate transaminase(AST)levels and total cholesterol, triglyceride contents in liver tissue, and as well as homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)levels of model group were significantly higher than those of control group, complex insulin sensitivity index(ISIcomp)level was significantly lower than that of control group; serum fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, ALT, AST contents and HOMA-IR levels of GLP-1 group were significantly lower than those of model group, ISIcomp level was significantly higher than that of model group; superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px), catalase(CAT)contents in liver tissue of model group were significantly lower, while malondialdehyde content and SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, NF-E2 related factor-2(Nrf-2), antioxidant response element(ARE), heme oxygenase-1(HO-1), quinone oxidoreductase-1(NQO-1), glutathione thiol transferase(GST)mRNA expression were significantly higher than control group; SOD, GSH-Px, CAT contents and SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, Nrf-2, ARE, HO-1, NQO-1, GST mRNA expression in the liver tissue of GLP-1 group were significantly higher, while malondialdehyde content was significantly lower than that of model group. GLP-1 receptor agonist reduces insulin resistance and liver oxidative stress injury in diabetic rats with nonalcoholic liver disease.

Objective To investigate the pluripotency of human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs), and provide a novel cell source for tissue engineering. Methods With informed consent from volunteers, fresh and healthy gingiva were collected. The hGFs were obtained from the gingiva by tissue culture. The third passage of hGFs was cultured in osteogenic medium, chondrogenic medium and adipogenic medium. Cells without differentiation were taken as control. Cells were examined by al?kaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, Alizarin red staining, Alcian blue staining and oil red O staining for detecting of the abili?ty of differentiation pluripotency. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was applied to examine the expression of osteogenic marker genes ALP, runt-related transcript factor 2 (Runx2), chondrogenic marker aggrecan (AGR) and adipogenic marker peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARγ2). Results The hGFs cultured in osteogenic medium showed massive violet deposit at day 7 and calcium nodulus at day 28, meanwhile, the expressions of ALP and Runx2 were higher than those of control (P<0.01). In chondrogenic group cells were found blue deposit at day 14. In adipogenic group lipid-filled droplets stained with oil red O were found in cells at day 14. However, hGFs in control group had no any positive stain?ing. Furthermore, expressions of AGR and PPARγ2 were significantly higher than those of control (P<0.01). Conclusion Human gingival fibroblasts have the pluripotency of osteogenic, adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.

Objective To investigate the association between serum level of secretory type Ⅱ phospholipase A2 (sPLA2 Ⅱ a) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Methods A total of 124 consecutive MS patients aged over 65 years were enrolled and another 90 elderly non-MS subjects were served as controls.The serum concentration of sPLA2 Ⅱ a was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Blood pressure,blood lipids and blood glucose levels etc.were also measured.The carotid intima-media thickness was examined by color Doppler ultrasonography.Results Serum level of sPLA2 Ⅱ a was significantly higher in elderly MS patients than in control group [(4.41±1.55)μg/L vs.(2.39±0.97)μg/L,P＜ 0.05].Compared with the control group,elderly MS patients showed CIMT was significantly increased [(1.17±0.24) mm vs.(0.89±0.24)mm,P＜0.05].Serum level of sPLA2 Ⅱ a were higher in elderly obesity patients than in normal BMI subjects [(4.76±0.99)μg/L vs.(2.84±0.54)μg/L,P＜0.05].Multiple regression analysis indicated that sPLA2 Ⅱ a level was an independent risk factor for CIMT in elderly MS patients after adjusting for the effects of BMI,IL-6 and high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs CRP) on CIMT(r=0.38,P＜0.01).Conclusions Serum level of sPLA2 Ⅱ a is increased in elderly MS patients and is independently correlated with CIMT,which has a predictive value for atherosclerosis,sPLA2 Ⅱ a may be involved in the process of vascular endothelial injury.

Objective To investigate the incidence,location and morphological features of Laimer fibers between mucosal layer and inner circular muscularispropria in patients with achalasia.Methods Data of 107 patients with achalasia who underwent POEM between May 2010 and June 2013 were collected.Endoscopic video was reviewed to determine the incidence of Laimer fibers and the corresponding images were analyzed according to gender,age,Ling typing and location of Laimer fibers.Results Laimer fibers were found in lower esophageal sphincter of 44 patients (41.12％).There were no significant differences in the incidences of Laimer fiber among groups with different age or gender (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence in Ling type Ⅱb was 46.15％ (12/26),and 45.83％ (22/48) in Ling type Ⅰ,0 in Ling type Ⅲ.There was no significant difference among the groups of Ling type (x2 =2.042,P =0.564).All Laimer fibers were found in lower esophageal sphincter and the majority of which were in right wall (36.45 ％,39/107),followed by left wall (3.74％,4/107) and none was found in anterior wall (x2 =107.468,P =0.000).Conclusion Laimer fibers generally exists in lower esophageal sphincter and most of which are discovered on right wall of the esophagus.Further study is needed to explore its role in development and treatment of achalasia.

Objective To observe the spinal stability of regrafting the posterior ligamentous complex after spinal canal tumor resection. Methods The data of 43 cases with spinal canal tumor in our department from July 2008 to July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed,who were fixed the free of the lamina by mini titanium-plate.
