Objective To explore the effects and safety of bevacizumab monotherapy on radiationinduced brain necrosis in patients with head and neck cancer.Methods Twenty-three patients with radiation-induced brain necrosis received intravenous injection of bevacizumab 5 mg/kg every 2 weeks for 4 cycles.Before and 2 weeks after the treatment LENT/SOMA scoring system,Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA),and MRI were used to evaluate the scores of subjective and objective items,cognitive scores,and the extent of edema.Adverse effects were observed.Results Two patients suffered from grade 2 rhinorrhagia after the first dose and had to give up the therapy.Twenty-one patients received the full dose of bevacizumab and showed improvement in clinical signs and symptoms.The MoCA score after treatment was significantly higher than that before treatment (t =3.166,P ＜ 0.05).MRI T2-weighted image showed that the volume of brain edema was decreased by (53.9 ± 22.13)％ on average (Z =-5.645,P ＜0.05).One patient showed mild exacerbation of the extent of focus on MRI after the second cycle therapy but still showed significant improvement at the end of four cycles.Of the 21 cases that successfully finished the whole treatment,one suffered from grade 2 rash and one had mild intracranial hemorrhage,however,no grade 3 to 5 adverse reactions were observed.Conclusions Bevacizumab monotherapy may have a rapid and safe therapeutic effect on radiation necrosis.

Objective:To explore the relationship between atrial fibrillation stroke risk score (CHA2DS2-VASc score) and short-term prognosis of aged patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF)complicated ischemic cerebral stroke (ICS).Methods:A total of 206 aged NVAF+ ICS patients who hospitalized in our hosipital from Jun 2011 to Aug 2013 were selected.CHA2DS2-VASc score was used to perform stroke risk stratification,and patients were di- vided into low risk group (n=24,0 score),medium risk group (n=78,1 score)and high risk group (n=104,2~9 scores).Modified Rankin scale (mRS)was used to assess patients'prognosis on three months after onset.According to mRS score,patients were divided into good prognosis group (n=89,0~2 scores)and poor prognosis group (n=117,3~6 scores).Independent predictors for poor prognosis in three months were analyzed.Results:Compared with low risk group,there were significant rise in age,percentages of hypertension,diabetes mellitus (DM),heart failure,stroke and vascular disease history,scores of United States national institutes of health stroke score (NIHSS) in medium and high risk groups (P<0.05 or <0.01).Compared with good prognosis group,there were significant rise in age [(72.81±7.68)years vs.(81.56±8.03)years],percentages of hypertension (58.4% vs.71.8%)and stroke history (9.0% vs.29.9%),scores of NIHSS [(2.97±1.42)scores vs.(7.67±3.92)scores]and CHA2DS2- VASc [(1.70±1.63)scores vs.(4.03±2.53)scores]in poor prognosis group,P<0.05 or <0.01. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated NIHSS score (high risk:OR=1.78,95%CI:1.27~2.56,P=0.001 ), CHA2DS2-VASc scores (high risk:OR=3.24,95%CI:1.32~6.98,P=0.001)and age (high risk:OR=1.23, 95%CI:1.07~1.54,P=0.01)were independent predictors for poor prognosis on three months in aged NVAF +ICS patients.Conclusion:CHA2DS2-VASc score is related to early improvement of patients with NVAF + ICS;age,scores of NIHSS and CHA2DS2-VASc are independent predictors for poor short-term prognosis.

Objective:To explore the clinical measurements for preventing and curing epistaxis in patients irradiated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma by analyzing the related factors. Methods:Thirty patients irradiated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and consequently presented epistaxis were retrospectively reviewed by analyzing the clinical characteristics and measurements. Literature review was also performed. Results:Twenty-two cases were successfully rescued, and eight cases died (mortality rate:26.6%). Twenty-five cases underwent inflation sponge packing hemostasis, whereas three cases underwent endoscopic hemostasis with cauterization. Five patients underwent digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and selective arterial embolization. For patients who underwent one irradiation course, the epistaxis latent period ranged from 3 to 12 years, and the amount of bleeding ranged from 200 mL to 1 200 mL. For patients who underwent more than one irradiation course, the epistaxis latent period ranged from 6 months to 3 years, and the amount of bleeding ranged from 300 mL to 8 000 mL. Conclusion:Packing through choanal atresia by using inflation sponge, cautery under endoscopy, DSA, and selective arterial embolization are useful and effective measurements for hemostasis. The epistaxis latent period and volume are related to the age, tumor stage, and ir-radiation course of the patients. Patients with advanced age, tumor stage, and more than one irradiation course have short latent period and high amount of bleeding.

Objective To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the expression of nerve growth factor (NGF) in adult rats with spinal cord injury. Methods 72 adult SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: damage control group, electrical stimulation group and normal group. The spinal cord incomplete injury model on T9 was made with Allen's method. The electrical stimulation group received electrical stimulation for 7 d. They were assessed with the Basso, Beattie & Bresnahan locomotor rating scale (BBB scale), and the expression of NGF were tested with immunohistochemistry and Western blot l d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d after injury. Results The BBB score improved after spinal cord injury, and electrical stimulation group improved more than control group since the 5th day after injury (P<0.05). The expression of NGF increased in electrical stimulation and injury control group after injury (P<0.05). Conclusion Electrical stimulation after spinal cord injury induces expression of NGF that creates a favorable microenvironment for nerve regeneration.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects of different treatments on the prognosis of patients with synchronous colorectal liver metastasis(CLM).

METHODSClinicopathological data of 121 patients with synchronous CLM in The First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between January 2010 and December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the metastatic lesions, patients were divided into simple operation group(22 patients, receiving operation only), simple chemotherapy group(43 patients, receiving chemotherapy only), and combination group(56 patients, receiving chemotherapy based on operation). The prognosis of patients in three groups was investigated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed through the long-rank test and Cox model to evaluate the related factors affecting prognosis.

RESULTSThe median survival time was 10(3-39) months in simple operation group, 7(3-36) months in simple chemotherapy group, and 18 (4-66) months in combination group. The differences among groups were all statistically significant (all P<0.05). Extent of lymph node metastasis, number of liver metastatic lesion, size of liver metastatic lesion, resection edge extent of liver metastatic lesion, and treatment method were independent factors of synchronous CLM(all P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONCombination therapy of a variety of treatment can prolong the survival of patients with synchronous CLM.
