Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects and complications of whole body gamma knife conformal radiotherapy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods 169 patients with NSCLC received whole body gamma knife conformal radiotherapy.Total dose,fractions,and radiation time were determined based on disease course,tumor location,tumor features and tumor volume,etc.Small target volume(tumor size less than 3cm in diameter) received 5-10Gy each time,40-50Gy in 4-10 fractions;moderate target volume(tumor size 3cm-5cm in diameter) received 4-8Gy each time,48-56Gy in 4-16 fractions;and big target volume(tumor size more than 5cm in diameter) received 3-4Gy per time,40Gy in 10-14 fractions and followed by 10-30Gy using reduced fields.Results Of 269 tumors in 169 patients,complete response(CR) rate,partial response(PR) rate,and rate of no change(NC) were 41.6%(112/269),44.6%(120/269) and 13.8%(37/269),respectively.Overall response rate(CR+PR) was 86.2%(232/269),with 1-year local control rate of 92.3%.1-year and 2-year survival rate was 75.1% and 46.2%,respectively,with median survival time of 19 months.The incidence of Grade 1,2 and Grade 3 radiation pneumonia was 15.4% and 3.1%,respectively.Conclusions With minor adverse effects,whole body gamma knife conformal radiotherapy may have short-term therapeutic effects for NSCLC patients with amelioration of disease symptoms,obvious elevation of tumor local control rate,a raise of the survival rate,and improvement of life quality.

Amphetamine-type stimulants ( ATS ) , a group of new-type synthetic drugs mainly in psychological dependence, are abused more and more severely in recent years. MicroRNAs ( MiRNAs ) are an important class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that mediate posttranscriptional negatively regulation of gene expression by targeting specific mRNA sequences to in-hibit the translation of mRNAs or degrade the expression of mR-NAs. ATS can induce the changes in the expression of miRNAs in addiction-related brain regions which directly involve in the regulation of ATS-induced addictive behaviors. Therefore, to study the regulatory role of miRNAs in ATS-induced addiction has important implications for dependent mechanisms of new-type drugs and the discovery of the new targets of drug actions.

Based on previous clinical and basic research on autohemotherapy,its effective mechanism was explored.Autohemotherapy was used as the keyword in the document retrieval of databases such as the Pubmed,CNKI,Wanfang,VIP,and etc.from 1990 to 2017.Previous clinical and basic research results of our team were also combined in the analysis of effective mechanism study on autohemotherapy in the treatment of acne.The results showed that autohemotherapy displayed the treatment effect of acne vulgaris through the regulation of Th1/Th2 immune deviation and micro ecological imbalance of local lesions,which may be one of the important ways in the treatment of acne vulgaris by autohemotherapy.It also reflected the regulation of Yin and Yang to reach the balance.It was concluded that in the future research,taking the effect of Th1/Th2 immune deviation and micro ecological imbalance of local lesions as the starting point,it will provide experimental basis for the effect of regulating Yin and Yang to reach the balance.It can provide certain scientific basis for its clinical application.

Aim To investigate the effect of curcumin on radiosensitivity of radioresistant nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2R and its mechanism.Methods The concentration of curcumin was screened by MTT assay.Dose-survival curves were obtained according to the colony forming test for L-Q matching and multitarget-single hitting matching,while SF2 and the correlation parameters of radiation biology were calculated.The changes of cell cycle in CNE-2R cells caused by curcumin were also tested by flow cytometry(FCM).The differential expression of genes related to cell cycle and DNA damage repair were detected by RT-qPCR.Results CNE-2R cells could not be inhibited by 10 μmol·L-1 curcumin.Dealt with 10 μmol·L-1 curcumin for 24 h,the value of α/β increased to 1 596 from 6.56;the value of SF2 decreased to 0.361 Gy from 1.93 Gy;the value of N decreased to 1.06 from 1.60;the value of D0 decreased to 2.12 from 3.27;the value of Dq decreased to 0.12 from 1.53.FCM showed that the cells in G2 phase had a significant increase and the cells in S phase had a significant decrease after dealt with 10 μmol·L-1 curcumin for 24 h.The expression of CDK4 was significantly up-regulated and GADD45g,BRCA1 were significantly down-regulated.Conclusion Curcumin radiosensitizes nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2R by changing cell cycle and affecting DNA damage repair through regulating the expression of CDK4,GADD45 g and BRCA1.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the value of in situ amniocyte culture for prenatal diagnosis. METHODS: 2716 amniotic fluid samples were cultured in situ on slides. After the culture, the slides were stained, photographed and analyzed. RESULTS: All samples were successfully analyzed, with the success rates for primary culture and subculture being 98.42% and 1.58%, respectively. 224 samples (8.25%) were detected with chromosomal aberrations, which included 125 cases with trisomy 21, 31 with trisomy 18, 3 with trisomy 13, 4 with 45,X, 17 with 47,XXY, 5 with 47,XYY, 1 with 48,XXY,+18, 1 with 48,XXYY, 26 with structural chromosomal aberrations, and 11 with mosaicisms for aneuploidies. CONCLUSION In situ amniocyte culture is stable and has a high success rate, and is capable of identifying true and false mosaicisms, which can improve the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis.

Shengmai Yin (SMY) is a Chinese herbal decoction that effectively alleviates the side effects of radio-therapy in various cancers and helps achieve radiotherapy's clinical efficacy.In this study,we explored the interaction mechanism among SMY,DNA methylation,and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).We identified differences in DNA methylation levels in NPC CNE-2 cells and its radioresistant cells (CNE-2R)using the methylated DNA immunoprecipitation array and found that CNE-2R cells showed genome-wide changes in methylation status towards a state of hypomethylation.SMY may restore its original DNA methylation status,and thus,enhance radiosensitivity.Furthermore,we confirmed that the dif-ferential gene Tenascin-C (TNC) was overexpressed in CNE-2R cells and that SMY downregulated TNC expression.This downregulation of TNC inhibited NPC cell radiation resistance,migration,and invasion.Furthermore,we found that TNC was hypomethylated in CNE-2R cells and partially restored to a hypermethylated state after SMY intervention.DNA methyltransferases 3a may be the key protein in DNA methylation of TNC.

Objective To compare the success rates of different culture methods for hemorrhagic amniotic fluid.Methods Thirty-one hemorrhagic amniotic fluid samples from pregnant women who were subjected to chromosomal examination at Anhui Maternal and Child Health Hospital were collected from January 2021 to December 2022.Two culture methods,the slide in situ culture box method(re-ferred to as the slide method)and the plastic bottle culture combined with slide in situ culture box method(referred to as the combined culture method),were used for cell cultivation.All the cells were harvested and stained with Giemsa staining,then the number of eligi-ble karyotype was counted and the success rates were compared between the two methods.Results Among the 31 cases of the slide method,21 were successfully cultured with a success rate of 67.7％.For the combined culture method,all the 31 cases were success-fully cultured with a success rate of 100％.The success rate of the combined culture method was significantly higher than that of the slide method(P＜0.05).Of 31 bloody amniotic fluid samples,three cases were fresh bleeding,and an average number of eligible kary-otype was 8 in the slide method and 32 in the combined culture method.Twenty-eight cases were old bleeding,and an average number of eligible karyotype was 13 in the slide method and 53 in the combined culture method.The number of eligible karyotype in the com-bined culture method was significantly higher than that of the slide method(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combined culture method is suitable for the cultivation of hemorrhagic amniotic fluid samples,and should be worthy of promotion in the clinics.

Objective:To investigate the clinical phenotype and genotype of a male case of subcortical band heterotopia caused by mosaic mutation of DCX gene.Methods:The clinical data and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of a male case of subcortical band heterotopia diagnosed in the Department of Neurology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University in August 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. At the same time, the whole exon sequencing of the families was performed by next generation sequencing method, the suspicious mutation was verified by polymerase chain reaction Sanger sequencing, and their genetic mutation characteristics were analyzed.Results:The proband, one male, aged 5 years and 1 month, was hospitalized in August 2020 with the complaint of intermittent convulsions for 4 years and six months. Clinical features included that limb muscle tension was slightly high, intellectual and motor development was backward, and head circumference was 48 cm. MRI of his head showed diffuse thick subcortical band heterotopia. The detection of whole exon sequencing in his family showed that there was hemizygous mosaic mutation in DCX gene (mosaic ratio 44%), c.148A>G (p.k50E). The mosaic ratios of oral mucosa and urinalysis were 38.2% and 44.8% respectively. His parents were wild-type, The mutation found in this patient has not been reported at home and abroad.Conclusions:The mosaic variation of DCX gene can cause subcortical band heterotopia in males. The variation of DCX gene c.148A>G (p.k50E) may be the possible cause of the proband, which expands the variation spectrum of subcortical band heterotopia.
