For recent two decades,radiofrequency ablation technology has made great progress in the field of the treatment for neoplasm.At the very beginning,radiofrequency ablation was adopted in treating the hepatic carcinoma,and since then it has been gradually practiced in treating malignancies of lung,bone,kidney,breast,prostate and other solid tumors.Statistical report of the year 2008 has indicated that in the aspect of similar therapeutic measures radiofrequency ablation therapy for tumors holds a 9% market share.Moreover,in the coming years the clinical use of this kind of therapy for tumors will be steadily increasing by 13% every year.

Purpose: To study the relationship between chromosome abnormalities and the pathogenesis, development and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma of uterus. Methods: FISH was used to detect endometrial carcinoma, endometrial hyperplasia and normal endometrium , 10 cases in each group, respectively. Results: All of the 10 carcinoma cases had chromosome 8 mutation, including trisomy, monosomy, tetraploid and in 10 cases of endometrial hyperplasia with trisomy of chromosome 8 were found. But there were no mutations of chromosome 8 in the normal group. There was significant difference in the three groups. Conclusions: Abnormalities of chromosome 8 are significantly associated with the process of pathogenesis, development of endometrial carcinoma. The abnormalities may occur in the early stage of the carcinoma, and may have the significant association with clinical stage and pathological differentiation among the patients.

Objective To explore the efficiency and safety of sodium valproate intravenous therapy on refractory status epilepsy(RSE)by diazepam in Chinese adult.Methods Twenty-five patients of RSE,consecutively admitted to West China Hospital of Sichuan University from September 1999 to May 2007,received intravenous administration of sodium valproate after being refractory to intravenous diazepam and intramuscular phenobarbitone.The efficiency and side effect of sodium valproate were then evaluated.There were ten males and fifteen females with mean age of fifty-five years.The symptoms of status epilepticus(SE)included generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus(GTCS)(14 cases),complex partial status epilepticus(CPS)(7 cases),simple partial status epilepticus(SPS)(2 cases)and myoclonic status epielepticus(MS)(2 cases).The primary diseases prior to SE were viral encephalitis(13 cases),withdrawal of antiepilepsy drug(AEDs)(5 cases),cerebral trauma and brain surgery(3 cases),cerebral infarction(2 cases),intoxication(1 case)and cerebral palsy(1 case).Among them nine patients had a history of epilepsy.Results Of all the 25 cases of RSE,twenty-two were controlled with sodium valproate within one hour,and consciousness recovered within next one hour.No significant changes were found in blood pressure,heart rate,respiratory rate and cardiac rhythm,and no encephalopathy occurred.On the other hand,the other three cases who failed to be controlled,frequency and duration of seizure were redured.Conclusions Although intravenous sodium valproate has not been approved to be the drug of first choice for SE therapy,but it is non-sedative anti-convulsion drug that can be safely used to stop different kinds of diazepam resistant SE efficiently without obvious side effect.In addition,a quick recovery of patients' consciousness may be expected within an hour afte RSE being controlled.

Objective: To construct an E1 A-deleted 24-bp triple regulated replicative adenovirus vector SG600/interleukin24 (IL24), which was driven by both hTERT promoter and HRE promoter. The level of IL24 in liver cancer cells was determined and the replication capacity of SG600/ IL24 and its killing effects on liver cancer cells were observed. Methods: SG600-IL24 vector was constructed using DNA cloning and recombination techniques. The IL24 gene expression in liver cancer cell lines SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 and normal cell line BJ was detected by ELISA assay. The replications of SG600/IL-24 in different cell lines were determined by evaluating TCID50 (50% tissue culture infectious dose) at 49 and 96 h. In vitro cell-killing effects of SG600/IL24 on the three liver cancer cell lines were analyzed by MTT assay and CPE (cytopathic effect) staining method at different MOI values. Results: IL24 was over-expressed in both SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 cells but was weakly expressed in BJ cells. At 48 and 96 h post infection the replication of SG600/IL-24 were 794 and 7940 folds in SMMC-7721 cells; 622 and 7 810 folds in BEL-7404 cells; 20 and 200 folds in BJ cells. MTT assay showed that the MOI values of SG600/IL24 for killing 50% and 90% cells were 0.3 and 5 for SMMC-7721 cells; 3 and 20 for BEL-7404 cells; 50 and 150 for BJ cells. CPE staining demonstrated that SG600/IL24 had significant killing effects on both liver cancer cells SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 but had no significant influence on BJ cells. The cell-killing capability of SG600/IL24 was superior than that of replicative adenovirus ZD55/IL24 and non replicative adenovirus Ad-IL24. Conclusion: After SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 liver cancer cells are infected with SG600/1124 at high efficiency, the virus replication is active and the expression of IL24 increases greatly. SG600/IL24 has specific cell-killing effects on the two liver cancer cell lines but has no significant influence on normal cells. This study provides a basis for further investigating the effect of SG600/IL24 on liver cancer in vivo.

Objective To systematically review the short-term and long-term efficacy of eversion carotid endarterectomy (eCEA) and patch carotid endarterectomy (pCEA) for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis.Methods The published literature on eCEA and pCEA control studies in medline,PubMed,Ovid,CNKI and CBM (1970.5-2016.10) databases were retrieved by computers.Two reviewers selected literature and extracted data independently according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria.Cochrane Collaboration Network Special Software Rev Man 5.2 was used to analyze the meta-analysis of short-term and long-term outcome measures.Results A total of 1 137 articles were retrieved.Ten studies were included and analyzed (3 of them were randomized controlled trial).A total of 3 213 patients were enrolled,including surgical intervention 3 299 case/time (1 512 in the eCEA group and 1 787 in the pCEA group).The results of meta-analysis showed that:(1) the mean operative time in the pCEA group was shorter 22±8 min than that in the pCEA group.The intraoperative utilization ratio of shunt tube,eCEA was significantly lower than pCEA,they were 12.6 %(53/421) and 50.2% (357/711) respectively (OR,0.11,95%CI 0.08-0.15,P<0.01).The postoperative incidence of stroke within 30 d (OR,0.42,95%CI 0.23-0.76,P=0.004) and the incidence of stroke after 30 d in eCEA were lower than those in pCEA (OR,0.26,95%CI 0.09-0.78,P=0.02).There was significant difference.(2) eCEA reduced the incidence of restenosis at day 30 after procedure (OR,0.57,95%CI 0.38-0.86,P=0.008).Conclusion Compared with pCEA,eCEA has the advantages of reducing the operation time and lowering the utilization rate of shunt tube.At the same time,eCEA can reduce the occurrence of stroke within 30 d and 30 d after procedure,and significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis.

Objective To compare clinical effect of unipolar versus bipolar radiofrequency ablation in treating atrial fibrillation (AF) in elderly patients and discuss the correlated risk factors.Methods From October 2008 to December 2013,a total of 50 elderly patients with organic heart disease and AF underwent radiofrequency ablation surgery.All patients were divided into 2 groups of unipolar (group A,n=20) and bipolar (group B,n=30 patients) radiofrequency ablations.The variations of electrocardiogram (ECG) and ultrasonic cardiogram (UCG) in patients were collected and the complications and the NYHA class of the patients were recorded at 3,6 and 12 months after surgery.The total 43 elderly patients were divided into sinus group and non-sinus group according to their ECG at 12 months after surgery.Results The recovery rates of sinus rhythm at 3,6 and 12 months after surgery were 73.7％(14/19),66.7％(12/18) and 61.1％ (11/18)respectively in group A and 82.8％(24/29),85.2％(23/27)and 88.0％(22/25) respectively in group B.Two groups of the recovery rate of sinus rhythm had a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05) at 12 months after surgery.The complication rate in group A was higher than in group B [55.0％ (11 cases) vs.26.7％ (8 cases),P＜0.05].Preoperative history of AF and left atrial diameter were the influencing factors for the sinus rhythm recovery rates (P＜0.05).Conclusions Bipolar radiofrequency ablation for AF is safe and has less complications and high success rate of restoring sinus rhythm.The patients with long preoperative history of AF and left atrium distension have a low success rate of restoring sinus rhythm with a high recurrence rate.

Objective To investigate the correlation between vertebral artery dominance (VAD) and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS).Methods The consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized from November 2013 to October 2015 were collected.All patients underwent MRI and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA).The dominant vertebral artery was defined as having the larger diameter if left and right diameter difference ≥0.3 mm or the vertebral artery connected to the basilar artery in a more straight fashion if the diameter difference ＜ 0.3 mm.They were divided into either an anterior circulation ischemia stroke (ACIS) group or a PCIS group according to the classification criteria of Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project (OCSP).A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between VAD and PCIS.Results A total of 226 patients withacute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 172 patients (76.1％) in the ACIS group and 54 (23.9％) in the PCIS group.Fifty-four patients (23.9％) had VAD,including 38 (70.3％) on the left and 16 (29.7％) on the right.The proportion of the patients with VAD in the PCIS group was significantly higher than that in the ACIS group (55.6％ vs.14.0％;x2 =39.115,P ＜ 0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that VAD was an independent risk factor for patients occurring PCIS (odds ratio,13.60,95％ confidence interval 6.90-27.01;P＜0.001).Conclusions VAD is closely associated with the occurrence of PCIS,and it is an independent risk factor for PCIS.

BACKGROUND:Related studies have showed that poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide can effectively package antisense oligonucleotides, smal interfering RNA, microRNA. Poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide can better protect them against the destruction of the enzymes in vivo and have slow the drug release. Therefore, the number of drug administration can be reduced to achieve a long-term and effective therapeutic effect. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To prepare poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-CXCR4-miRNA-nano-particles and to research the characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles. ＜br> METHODS:Poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide-CXCR4-miRNA nanoparticles were prepared by double emulsion-evaporation process. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was utilized for measurement of encapsulation efficiency and drug-loading rate, observing the shape of nanoparticles by transmission electron microscope, and measuring the size and distribution of nanoparticles by laser particle size analyzer. Sustained-release characteristics of nanoparticle suspension were observed in phosphate buffer. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The prepared nanoparticles were spherical-shaped, smooth, evently distributed and inadhesive. The particle size was mainly distributed within 143-502 nm, with an average diameter of 280 nm. The average drug loading was (0.515±0.023)%, the average encapsulation ratio was 50.2%and difference between batches was smal . The nanoparticles could slowly release in vitro and the process initial y experienced the fast-release stage, and then reached a basical y stable platform stage at day 14. These finding indicate that the process to prepare poly D,L-lactide-co-glycolide CXCR4-miRNA-nanoparticles by double emulsion-evaporation is simple. The prepared nanoparticles are wel targeted and exhibit sustained-release effects.
