Objective To study the effects of sensitized dendritic cells in the treatment of bladder tumor and further discuss the mechanism of this immunotherapy. Methods 44 female F344 rats, which irrigated N-methyl-N-nitrosourea into bladders every other week for a total of five doses, were induced to bladder tumor. They were treated subcutaneously with either PBS, unsensitized DC, freeze thawing supernatant of tumor cells, or sensitized DC respectively every week for a total of four times. In the fifteenth week, their bladders were weighted and harvested for observation by naked eye and microscope, their blood was harvested for examination CTL by FCM. Results The weight of bladders in sensitized DC group was lower than those in PBS group, unsensitized DC group and freeze thawing supernatant of bladder tumor cells group (P<0.05). The stages of bladder tumor in sensitized DC group were statistically descended compared with those in PBS group (P <0.05). The CD+3 T cells in sensitized DC group was lower than those in PBS group, unsensitized DC group and freeze thawing supernatant of bladder tumor cells group (P <0.05). The CD+3 CD+8 CD+28 T cells in sensitized DC group was higher than those in PBS group, unsensitized DC group and freeze thawing supematant of bladder tumor cells group(P <0.001). Conclusion Sensitized DC injecting subcutaneously can reduce the stages of F344 rats' bladder tumor, Unsensitized DC injecting subcutaneously has not effect in the treatment of bladder tumor;, while the effect of freeze thawing supematant of tumor cells injecting subcutaneously is not well. The mechanism of sensitized DC in the treatment of blader tumor is that DC plays an immunol killing role by presenting antigen, stimulating CTL.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of 125I radioactive particle implantation combined with surgery and chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods The clinical data of 128 patients of locally advanced (T3,T4) UTUC treated with surgery with radioactive particle implantation plus postoperative GC chemotherapy (experimental group) and surgery plus postoperative GC chemotherapy (control group) were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent complete resection of the tumor.The postoperative pathology was urinary tract epithelium cancer.In the experimental group,there were 45 (69.2％) males and 20 (30.8％) females,with median age 56.5 years.There were 39 (60.0％) patients diagnosed with renal pelvic cancer,including 13 (33.3 ％) patients with local lymph node metastasis;26 patients (40.0％) with ureteral cancer,11 patients (42.3％) with local lymph node metastasis.In the control group,there were 46 males (73.0％) and 17 females (27.0％),with median age 57.1 years.There were 40 (63.5％) patients with renal pelvic cancer,including 12 (30％) cases of local lymph node metastasis;23 patients with ureteral carcinoma (36.5％),including 10 patients (43.4％) with local lymph node metastasis.There was no significant difference in basehne data between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The recurrence and distant metastasis,recurrence-free survival,distant disease free survival(DDFS),disease-specific survival(DSS),overall survival (OS) and comphcations of two groups were compared.Results The follow-up time was 50.5 months (ranged 5 to 62 months).In experimental group,there were 2 cases,5 cases,11 cases,16 cases and 21 cases occurred recurrence and distant metastasis in 6 months,1 year,2 years,3 years and 5 years respectively,and the 5-year cumulative recurrence and distant rate was 32.3％ (21/65).In control group,there were 3 cases,5 cases,17 cases,21 cases and 32 cases,occurred recurrence and distant metastasis in 6 months,1 year,2year,3 year,5 year respectively,and the 5-year cumulative recurrence and distant rate was 50.8％(32/63).There was significant difference between the two groups (P =0.034).In the experimental group and the control group,the 5-year non-metastatic survival rates were 61.5％ (40/65)and 41.3％ (26/63),respectively.There was significant difference in 5-year non-metastatic survival rate between the two groups (P =0.033).The 5-year DSS rates were 69.2％ (45/65) and 50.8％ (32/63),respectively.The 5-year DSS rate of the two groups was significantly different (P =0.033).The 5-year OS rates were 53.8％ (35/65) and 36.5％ (23/63) respectively.There was significant difference in the 5-year OS rate between the two groups (P =0.049).Condusions Compared with surgery and chemotherapy,the use of 125I radioactive particle implantation combined with surgery and chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced stage (T3-T4) UTUC could achieve the total survival benefit,and less adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of intravesical instillation with Sufuning (SFN) lotion for prevention of postoperative recurrence of bladder cancer. Methods A total of 240 bladder cancer patients who were diagnosed as bladder cancer and accepted trans-urethral resection of bladder tumor from January 2010 to June 2016 in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital were randomly divided into the experimental group (120 cases) and the control group (120 cases) according to the envelope method. The patients in the experimental group were treated with SFN lotion for immediate intravesical instillation(250 mg for once), and the patients in the control group were treated with pirarubicin (THP) for immediate intravesical instillation (30 mg for once). The patients of two groups were treated with intravesical chemotherapy once a week for 8 times, and the chemotherapy was performed once a month for 1 year. The recurrence rate, progression-free survival (PFS) rate, overall survival (OS) rate and recent side effects were compared between the two groups. Results The patients were followed up for 6 to 60 months. The median follow-up time was 36.5 months.In the experimental group,6 patients were lost and 8 patients were lost in the control group.The experimental group, the total recurrence rate was 26.3 % (30/114). The control group, the overall recurrence rate was 25.0 % (28/112) (χ2= 0.142, P = 0.781). Five years of PFS rate in the experimental group and the control group was 73.7 % (84/114) and 75.0 % (84/112) respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ2= 2.011, P= 0.615). Five years of OS rate in the experimental group and the control group was 95.6 % and 92.9 % respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups (χ 2= 1.611, P= 0.425). The major side effects included chemical cystitis and hematuria. The incidence of chemical cystitis and hematuria in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(χ2=5.991,P=0.018;χ2=4.925,P=0.036).There was a statistically significant difference of the hematological side effects (blood routine changes) between the two groups (χ 2= 4.891, P= 0.032). Conclusion It is safe and effective for intravesical instillation of SFN lotion to prevent the recurrence of bladder cancer.
