OBJECTIVE:To observe therapentic efficacy of bevacizumab combined with irinotecan+leucovorin+fluorouracil (FOLFIRI)plan in the treatment of advanced colon cancer,toxic reaction and patients'survival rate. METHODS:A total of 113 patients with advanced colon cancer admitted to the oncology department in our hospital from Jan. 2010 to Aug. 2014 were random-ized into observation group 1(40 cases),observation group 2(39 cases)and control group(34 cases). Three groups received FOLFIRI;observation group 1 and 2 were additionally given Bevacizumab injection 5 and 7.5 mg/kg 14 d as a treatment course, for 8 cycles. Clinical efficaices as well as the positive rate of VEGF-A,immune indexes(the proportion of CD3+,CD3+CD4+,CD3+CD8+ in T cell subset)before and after treatment,the incidence of toxic reaction,1-year and 2-year survival rates were compared among 3 groups. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group 1 and 2 were significantly higher than control group,and the positive rate of VEGF-A in observation group 1 and 2 were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The proportion of CD3+,CD3+CD4+ and CD3+CD8+ in 3 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,but ob-servation group 1 and 2 were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The incidence of grade hypertension(grade 3-4)in observation group 1 and control group were lower than observation group 2;the incidence of leucope-nia(grade 3-4)in observation group 1 and 2 were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in 1-year survival rate among 3 groups(P>0.05). 2-year survival rate of observation group 1 and 2 were significantly higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For advanced colon cancer,different doses of bevacizumab combined with FOLFIRI have significant synergistic effect,can effectively inhibit VE-FG-A,play a role of immune protection and anti-toxic side effects,and prolong the survival time. The incidence of hypertension in patients treated with low-dose bevacizumab is relatively lower and the safety is better.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the characteristics of vertical cast-off bloodstain pattern by different hitting-tools.
METHODS:
The regular hitting tools, a kitchen knife, a dirk, a plane set-hammer and an iron pipe, were selected. At a distance of 30 cm away from the wall, the hitting tool with 5 mL fresh chicken blood made the cast-off bloodstain from top to bottom. Then the holistic distribution characteristics (length, width and density) of cast-off bloodstain and morphology characteristics (length, width and contact angle) of first single cast-off bloodstain were analyzed.
RESULTS:
The distribution length of cast-off bloodstain formed by dirk was minimum (P < 0.05). The distribution width of cast-off bloodstain formed by kitchen knife was minimum (P < 0.05). Except the pair of kitchen knife and plane set-hammer, the distribution density between each two tools had statistical differences (P < 0.05). The length of first single cast-off bloodstain formed by plane set-hammer was longest compared (P < 0.05). The width of first single cast-off bloodstain had statistical differences between kitchen knife and plane set-hammer, and between dirk and plane set-hammer (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The type of hitting tool could be inferred by the specific characteristics of cast-off bloodstain pattern formed by every specific type of hitting tool in crime scene.

Objectives To discuss the characteristics of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and left ventricular apical aneurysm (LVAA) and its related prognostic value. Methods Thirty HCM patients with LVAA were collected from August 2004 to August 2013. All cases with coronary artery diseases were ruled out, and all patients underwent LGE derived by cardiac MR (CMR). Five cases of LVAA were pathological confirmed. Atrial and ventricular diameters, apical aneurysm diameters and left ventricular ejection fraction were measured, and apical aneurysm LGE was evaluated. All patients were then followed up. Comparisons in continuous parameters between patients with or without LGE were performed by independent t test. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard rate for adverse cardiovascular events. Results LGE was identified in 21 LVAAs and non-LGE in 9 LVAAs. Between two groups, there was no significant difference in the size of LVAA [(16.4 ± 11.5) mm vs. (20.3 ± 9.8) mm, P=0.63]. In particular, the complete transition from non-LGE to LGE LVAA was recorded during follow-up in one patient. Pathological findings confirmed that LGE indicated fibrous tissue in LVAA, and LVAA without LGE indicated viable myocardium. The follow-up suggested that the patterns and the size of LVAA were associated with the adverse events in these patients (LGE of LVAA, HR=7.94, P=0.064; the size of LVAA, HR=1.08, P=0.009). Conclusions LGE-MR had important clinical significance in HCM patients with LVAA. LGE in LVAA corresponded with the fibrous tissue and was associated with the prognosis.
