1.Radiotherapy of brain metastases
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(6):437-440
Brain metastases is a common cause of advanced tumors teeatment failure,and radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities.With the development of radiotherapy techniques,the survival and quality of life of patients with brain metastases have been significantly improved.Whole brain radiotherapy,stereotactic radiotherapy as well as the combination are the main treatment options,but the best fraction size,the most optional time and suitable patients need to be further investigated.Novel radiotherapy techniques such as simultaneous integrated boost have been a research hotspot.

Objective: To investigate the effects of insulin on the DNA synthesis and cell cycle distribution of human periodontal ligament cells (PDLs). Methods:PDLs were treated with insulin at the doses (U/L) of 0.01~1 000 for 72 h,DNA synthesis of the cells was measured by 3H-TdR incorporation and cell cycle distribution was studied by flow cytometer. Results : Insulin at 1 U/L to 1 000 U/L showed a significant concentration dependent stimulation of 3H thymidine uptake, and the effect of insulin at 100 ~ 1 000 U/L were not statistically different from that at 10 U/L. The percentage of PDL cells in G1 phase during exponential growth was decreased by insulin, while that in S phase and (G2+M) was increased in experimental group. Conclusion: Insulin increases DNA synthesis of PDL cells ,and stimulates the transformation of cells from G1 to S phase.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) barrier membrane in guided periodontal tissue regeneration(GTR) . Methods:Nine patients with Ⅱ~Ⅲ furcation lesions were treated by guided tissue regeneration using ePTFE membrane. The membrane was retrieved 5 weeks after operation and examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) . Results:Large amount of lymphocytes were found on the external upper surfaces of ePTFE, with a little bacteria. The external lower surface of ePTFE was full of fibrocytes, red blood cells and lymphocytes.Conclusion:ePTFE membrane is biocompatible and can close the primary wound over a barrier which stops the downgrowth of junctional epithelium at the early stage of periodontal tissue repair after operation.

Objective To solve the key problem on classification and identification of Salvia miltiorrhiza,which was urgently needed to be solved in breeding of S. miltiorrhiza. Methods Sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) was carried out to analyze the genetic variation of 48 germplasm in S. miltiorrhiza from different sources. Results The data showd that 120 alleles had been found using 15 pairs of primer which had been selected from 100 pairs. Unweighted pair-group method with arithmetical averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis was used to classify the germplasm of S. miltiorrhiza. Two groups could be divided and three subgroups were contained in every group. Conclusion A complex relationship exists between the genetic distance and space distance of differernt S. miltiorrhiza. The genetic diversity in different geographical populations of S. miltiorrhiza in China is rich. The results show that the genetic distance of different germplasm will increase with the stage of domestication.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between delta opioid receptors (DORs) and activity of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) in the spinal cord during hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil in a rat model of incisional pain (IP).Methods Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 240-260 g,weighing 2-3 months,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),remifentanil+IP group (group R+I) and DOR antagonist naltrindole group (group N).A 1-cm longitudinal incision was made in the plantar surface of the left hindpaw in anesthetized rats.In group C,the equal volume of normal saline was injected intraperitoneally,and normal saline was then infused for 60 min at the same rate.In group R+I,the equal volume of normal saline was injected intraperitoneally,remifentanil was infused for 60 min at 1.2 μg · kg-1 · min-1,and IP was produced immediately after onset of remifentanil infusion.In group N,naltrindole 0.1 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally,remifentanil was infused for 60 min at 1.2 μg · kg-1 · min-1,and IP was produced immediately after onset of remifentanil infusion.At 24 h before infusion of normal saline or remifentanil and 2,6,24 and 48 h after iv administration (T0-4),the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency (TWL) were measured.The rats were sacrificed after the last measurement of pain threshold,the lumbar segment (L4-6) of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of GSK-3β,phosphor-GSK-3β (pGSK-3β) (by Western blot) and GSK-3β mRNA (realtime PCR).The ratio of pGSK-3β /GSK-3β was calculated.Results Compared with group C,the MWT was significantly decreased,and the TWL was shortened at T1 4,the expression of GSK-3β,pGSK-3β and GSK-3β mRNA was up-regulated,and pGSK-3β/GSK-3β ratio was decreased in R + I and N groups.Compared with group R + I,thc MWT was significantly incrcased,and the TWL was prolonged at T1-4,the expression of GSK-3β,pGSK-3β and GSK-3β rmRNA was down-regulated,and pGSK-3β/GSK-3β ratio was increased in group N.Conclusion Activation of DOR is involved in enhancement of activity of GSK-3β in the spinal cord during hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil in a rat model of IP.
