Two highly specific monoclonal antibodies with potentul affinity against hepatocellular carcinoma HAb18, HAb25 as carriers, 131I and adriamycin (ADM) as warhead "double bomb"-mixed monoclonal antibodies immunoconjugates(131I-HAb18-ADM)/(131I-HAb25-ADM) was prepared by indirectly conjugated with dextran T-40 and chloramine-T methods. The immunoconjugating rate to target cells was 42.5%, labelling rate 49.8%, and specific radioactivity 6.88?104Bq/?g. In vitro, (131I-HAb18-ADM)/(131I-HAb25-ADM) showed stronger selective cytotoxicity against target tumor cells than either HAb18-ADM, or 131I-HAb18, or HAb25-ADM, or 131I-HAb25 conjugate alone(P

Background and purpose:Ovarian cancer is one of three common malignant tumors in the female reproductive system,whose mortality is the highest in all of the gynecological cancers.The genetic instability and hypermutation rate of tumor cells were found to be associated with chemotherapeutic resistance,and accounted for the high recurrence rate and the failure of current treatment.Invasion and metastasis of tumor are closely related to angiogenesis.Experiments in vivo and in vitro have confirmed that there are many kinds of promoter and suppressor of angiogenesis in primary malignant tumor cells.Angiogenesis could be a potential molecular target for cancer treatment.Endostatin is a specific inhibitor of vessel endothelium.Animal experiments have confirmed that Endostatin could inhibit tumor growth through anti-angiogenesis and result in the decrease of invasion and metastasis of cancer,and it would not easily induced drug resistance in the cells.Thus Endostatin could be safely used for a variety of cancer treatments,being able treat any patho-angiogensis.Recently it has been reported that Endostatin may significantly enhance anti-tumor effects when it is combined with traditional treatment methods such as surgery,chemotherapy,radiotherapy and immunotherapy.Although the study of Endostatin was done in vitro,the primary results were very encouraging and provide the rationale for future clinical trials.In this study,we aim to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Endostatin on SKOV_(3) cell and to investigate the possible mechanism of the inhibition.Methods:1.The effects of Endostatin on SKOV_(3) cells proliferation was studied by means!of MTT.2.The cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by transmission electron microscope and cell flow cytometry.3.bcl-2 and bax expression were determined in SKOV_(3) cell by immunocytochemistry,RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.Results:Endostatin inhibited SKOV_(3) cell proliferation,and the value of A_(490) of 15?g/ml 72 h Endostation group(0.454) was much lower than that of PBS control group(1.369)(P

Objective To study the effects of using jaw tracking technique with Smart LMC algorithm on the absorbing dose of planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) in dynamic intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods Field fluencies of 10 cases of NPC patients were optimized using DVO algorithm on Eclipse TPS (11.0),and according to the same optimal fluence,MLC operation files were calculated using jaw tracking technique and jaw fixing technique respectively,dose distribution was calculated with AAA algorithm and jaw tracking IMRT plan (JT-IMRT) and jaw fixing IMRT plan (JF-IMRT) were generated respectively.Collimators' position at the plan implementation was observed,and the total number of plans' monitor units (MU),the dose of PTV,the absorb dose of OARs,and the actual fluence verification pass rate were compared.Results The collimators' opening gap distances in 166 control points of the JT-IMRT reduced in both X and Y directions in the field,compared to that of the JF-IMRT.Total number of the JT-IMRT's MU increased by 3.59％-11.63％.There was no statistical significant difference between the doses of the PTV.Statistical significance was found in the differences between maximum dose (Dmax) of brainstem,spinal cord,crystal,optic nerve,the mean dose (Dmean) and D50％ of parotid and their decreased values after therapy (t=5.70-8.66,P＜0.05).The actual fluence verification pass rate of the JT-IMRT was higher than that of the JF-IMRT.There was a significant difference between the results (t=5.18,P＜0.05).Conclusions The JT-IMRT plan of the smart LMC algorithm is more tolerant to the radiation leakage between inter-and intra-leaf.The dose of OARs is lower,while the dose calculation precision and the verification pass rate are higher,the actual radiation dose is more accurate and reliable.Therefore it is more suitable for clinical applications.

BACKGROUND:Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery is a good choice for repair of degenerative cervical disc herniation, but it is reported that fusion can affect the exercise of cervical neighboring stages. Artificial disc replacement can not only play a role in mitigation of cervical disease neurological symptoms and signs, but also maintain stability and semental activity of cervical spine, and reduce secondary adjacent segmental degeneration.
These two methods which applied in cervical degenerative intervertebral disc herniation stil remain controversial. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the short-term effect of artificial cervical disc replacement and anterior cervical decompression and fusion for the treatment of single segmental cervical disc herniation. METHODS:Total y 48 patients with single segment radiculopathy or myelopathy cervical diseases induced by cervical disc herniation that required surgery and received a three-month fol ow-up were included and retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into replacement group (n=21) and fusion group (n=27) according to the different repair programs. Patients in the replacement group were subjected to Prestige LP cervical artificial disc replacement, and patients in the fusion group were subjected to disc fusion using interbody fusion cage of Johnson or al ogeneic fibularing. They were fol owed up at 1 week, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 months after treatment. Complications were recorded during the fol ow-up. The pain of patients was evaluated using neck and upper limb pain visual analogue scale scores. The therapeutic effect was evaluated using Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score. The clinical symptoms improvement and daily functional status of patients after treatment were evaluated using cervical disability index. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:During the final fol ow-up, the fusion rate in fusion group was 93%(25/27). Comparisons between groups:at the 1 week and final fol ow-up after treatment, the visual analog scale scores of neck and upper limbs and cervical dysfunction indexes were al lower than those before treatment;the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores were higher than those before treatment (P<0.05). In the final fol ow-up, the visual analog scale scores of neck and upper limbs and cervical dysfunction index were al lower than those after one week of treatment, and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores were higher than those after one week of treatment (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the above indicators at each time point between these two groups (P>0.05). The cervical activity and surgical segmental motion after cervical disc replacement were significantly higher than those in the fusion group;the difference was statistical y significant (P<0.05). There were no serious complications in these two groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between these two groups (P>0.05). These results suggest that the artificial cervical disc replacement and anterior cervical decompression and fusion for the treatment of single cervical disc herniation have the same effect in terms of patients’ symptoms mitigation. With respect to fusion technique, artificial disc replacement surgery has the advantage of maintaining cervical stability and activities of replacement segments.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the correlation of vitamin D with the incidence of cardiovascular disease and risk factors in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS:94 patients,aged 60 years old above,with type 2 diabetes mellitus were collected retrospectively. Those patients were divided into diabetes group(41 cases)and diabetes complicated with cardiovas-cular disease group(53 cases)according to the condition of disease. 25(OH)D levels and lab indicators of 2 groups were detect-ed. The relationship of cardiovascular lesion with risk factor was analyzed by Multivariate Logistic regression;the correlation be-tween 25(OH)D and risk factors was analyzed by pearson analysis. RESULTS:There was statistical significance in the levels of 25 (OH)D,TC,TG,UA and Ca between diabetes group and diabetes complicated with cardiovascular disease group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). pearson analysis showed that the level of 25(OH)D was negatively related to age,FIB,TC and UA,and positively related to D-dimer and HDL-C,especially correlated with FIB and TC significantly,with statistical significance (P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the deficiency of 25(OH)D was pathogenic factors of type 2 diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS:There is a correlation between the level of 25(OH)D and cardiovascular risk factors as age,FIB,TC, UA,D-dimer,HDL-C. Vitamin D deficiency is the independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
