Background and purpose:Cervix cancer is the second most common cancer in gynecologic malignant tumors. Chemotherapy has been used more and more lately, and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy are receiving increasing attention. In this study, we investigated the clinical effect of concurrent PCF chemotherapy plus radiotherapy for moderate and advanced cervical cancer. Methods:One hundred and ninty-six patients with moderate and advanced cervical cancer were randomly divided into two groups: only radiotherapy group and chemo-radiotherapy group (98 cases for each group). Two groups underwent the same fractionation irradiation, the chemo-radiotherapy group was given PCF regimen that consisted of (DDP) at the dose of 20 mg daily intravenously for 1-5 days, (5-FU) at the dose of 500 mg daily for 1,3,5 days and (CTX) at the dose of 400 mg daily for 2,4 day for 2-4 cycles. Both groups received radiotherapy with 30 Gy first and were irradiated by the combination of external radiotherapy plus intracavitary irradiation.Results:The immediate response rates of the two groups were 100 %, there was no statistical difference. The 5 year survival rate was 76.5 % in chemo-radiotherapy group and 50 % in only radiotherapy group (P

This study was designed to investigate whether there is an antagonistic effect of MsC—derived IL—1 and PGE2 on MsC proliferation. Experimental results showed that: (1)MsC stimulated by LPS could produce IL—1; (2) MsC stimulated by MsC—derived IL—1 could release PGE2; (3) exogenous PGE2(100ug/ml) inhibited the MsC proliferation induced by MsC—derived IL—1; (4) indomethacin(2ug/ml) which inhibited the production of endogenous PGE2, enhanced the MsC proliferation induced by MsC—derived IL—1. The results suggest that there is a self—regulation effect on MsC proliferation by MsC—derived IL—1 and PGE2. Clinically, the beneficial effect of PGE2 should be protected, so that the abuse of indomethacin in the treatment of glomerulonephritis should be avoided.

Objective To study the molecular polymorphism and the distribution of HLA-B27 subtypes in southern Chinese Han patients with Ankylosing Spondylitis and healthy controls.Methods A total of 46 samples form southern Chinese Han patients with AS and 80 non-related blood samples from healthy peripheral blood stem cell donors with B27-positive identified by rSSO Lumminex flow array assay were subjected to sequencing analysis of exon 2 ,3 and 4 of HLA-B gene by the sequence-based typing,the purified products of sequencing reaction were electrophoresed on ABI 3730 DNA sequencer and the designation of HLA-B27 allele was accomplished using the Assign3.5 software. The ambiguities and the detected "rare" alleles were confirmed using the PCR-SSP commercial kit. Results In the 46 B27-positive patients with the diagnosis of AS,four alleles,namely B2704,B2705,B2707 and B2724 were determined. The frequencies for these four alleles were 82.98%(39/47),12.77%(6/47),2.13%(1/47) and 2.13%(1/47),respectively. In the 80 B27-positive control individuals,seven B27 related alleles were identified. The frequency for the two dominant subtype B2704 and B2705 were 57.32%(47/82) and 26.83%(22/82),respectively. Both the B2706 and B2707 were observed 5 times with a frequency of 6.10%(5/82),three alleles B2703,B2715 and B2724 were detected only once with a frequency of 1.22%(1/82).Conclusion Our study shows that HLA-B2704 and B2705 were the predominant subtypes in normal healthy controls,however,B2704 was the predominant subtype for the AS group in southern Chinese Han patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Yinhuang solution on the bladder mucosal before and/or after mucosal injury.Methods32 SPF female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 8 rats in each group. Group A was used for the normal control group, group B for the model control group, group C for preventive group, group D for preventive and therapeutic group. Injured rats were created by hydrochloric acid applied on bladder mucosa. After the models were established or before and after the models were established, bladders were perused with Yinhuang solution. Severity of inflammatory infiltration were observed by HE staining, histological score and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) expressed in the mucosa.ResultsEndoscopic pathological change showed that group B had a large number of inflammatory cell infiltration, significant expansion of capillary, epithelial cell necrosis. Group C had a small amount of expansion of capillary, inflammatory cell infiltration. Group D scattered in expansion of capillary, a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Concerning the results of histological score and HSP70 expression, there was a significant difference between group A and groups B, C or D (P<0.01); there was a significant difference between group B and groups C or D (P<0.01); there was a significant difference between group C and group D (P<0.05).ConclusionYinhuang solution can evidently improve the repair capability of bladder mucosa after injury.

Objective To investigate the expression of Jagged1 in human epithelial ovarian carcinoma tissues and the effect of Jagged1 on growth of xenograft in nude mice. Methods (1) Forty-eight cases of ovarian cancer and 30 cases of patients with benign epithelial ovarian tumor in the Henan Province Xinxiang Central Hospital during Feb. 2011 to Mar. 2014 were enrolled in this study. The mRNA expression of Jagged1, Notch1 and the downstream target genes Hes1, Hey1 were analyzed by using realtime PCR method. (2) The ovarian cancer xenograft models in nude mice were constructed by injecting SKOV3 cells in axillary subcutaneouswere. The nude mice were randomly divided into Jagged1 interference group, blank plasmid group and control group. Each group had 10 mice. They were transfected with pcDNA3.1(+)-siRNA-Jagged1, blank plasmid pDC3.1 and phosphate buffer, respectively. The tumor volumes and tumor masses were measured 14 days after transfection and the inhibition rate was calculated. The relative mRNA expression of Jagged1, Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 in xenograft tissues after transfection in each group was detected by using realtime PCR technique and the relative protein expression of Jagged1, Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 in xenograft tissues was detected by utilizing western blot method. Results (1) The relative mRNA expression of Jagged1, Notch1, Hes1 and Hey1 in ovarian cancer tissues were higher than benign ovarian tumor tissues, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). (2) The tumor volume was (491 ± 68) mm3 and tumor mass was (2.6±0.4) g in Jagged1 interference group, which were significantly lower than that in the blank plasmid group [(842 ± 88) mm3 and (4.4 ± 0.8) g, respectively] and that in the control group [(851 ± 90) mm3 and (4.5 ± 0.9) g, respectively;P<0.05], the tumor inhibition rate was 42.2% in Jagged1 interference group, which was significantly higher than that in the blank plasmid group and that in the control group (2.2%and 0, respectively), the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The relative mRNA and protein expression of Jagged1, Hes1 and Hey1 in xenograft tissues of nude micein Jagged1 interference group were lower than that in the other two groups, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no differences of relative mRNA and protein expression of Notch1 in xenograft tissues of nude mice among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Jagged1 is highly expressed in epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Jagged1 gene interference in xenograft tumor can inhibit ovarian cancer cell growth and improve tumor suppressor rate, which probably play roles by inhibiting Notch1 signaling pathway.

Objective To measure the setup errors and organ movements of patients with esophagus carcinoma during radiotherapy and find a reasonable margin from the clinic target volume (CTV) to the planning target volume (PTV). Methods (1) Set-up veri cation: Forty-two cases of untreated esophageal cancer were enrolled into this study. The physicist firstly made the planning according to the doctor requests and ensured the best distribution at the target. Thereafter, the 0° and 90° digitally reconstructed radiograph (DRR) was transmitted to the iView GT workshop. Meanwhile, two copies of cross-cut electronic portal image (EPI) were required before radiotherapy. Two doctors confirmed the variance of the osteal mark from the EPI and DRR,and output a 3D direction (left to right, superior to inferior, anterior to posterior) of the setup errors through the iView GT software. (2)Breathing motion:Ten cases of untreated esophageal cancer were enrolled into this study.Three distinct breathing levels were deflned: FB (free breathing), EBH (expiration with breath-held) and IBH (inspiration with breath-held). We gave the treatment planning in FB, then by moving the isocenter to EBH and IBH, we recalculated the dose distribution without changing the field angle, shape and weighing (Mus). Displacements were analyzed at four points (anterior, posterior, right lateral and left lateral) and five levels of target (upper, quarter, isocenter, three-quarter and lower). Results (1) The systematic setup errors were -0.23 cm, -0.02 cm and -0.06 cm, and the random errors were 0.44 cm, 0.45 cm and 0.44 cm at the direction of left to right(LR), superior to inferior (SI), anterior to posterior(AP), respectively. (2) The organ movements were 0.3 cm, 0.6cm and 0.3cm at the LR, SI, AP, respectively. Conclusions As an alternative, the root-sum-of-squares of set-up error and organ motion are suggested by σtot=√ (σITV2+σSM2). The CTV to PTV margins are 0.8cm left to right, 0.78cm superior to inferior, 0.5cm anterior to posterior.
