Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT) is a new physical method which can enhance the therapeutic gain factor(TGF) of radiotherapy. It can escalate the doses of local tumor and decrease the doses of normal tissue. For patients with primary liver tumors, 3DCRT can increase the local control rates, prolong patients survival and decrease the incidence of radiation-induced complications.

Minimally invasive treatment of liver cancer plays a very important role in clinical practice in China, because most patients had the background of hepatitis or cirrhosis and were prone to recurrence after radical resection of the tumor. In the past four decades, much progress has been made in controlling liver cancer, which is well consistent with the trends of minimally invasive treatment. Minimally invasive therapy is also the main goals of our practice and has a great potential developing future, although a good outcome is the prerequisite. Nowadays, minimally invasive treatment for liver cancer includes percutaneous transarterial chemotherapy or embolization (TAE or TACE), percutaneous ethand injection (PEI), and ablation with radiofrequency, micromave, cryosurgery or high intensity focused ultrasound.

Objective To determine the effect of the modified UW (University of Wisconsin)solution in the treatment of acute renal tubular necrosis in newborn swine. Methods Ten one-week-old newborn swine were used to establish the animal model of acute renal tubular necrosis by clamping their renal arteries,and were divided into two groups: the model group( n = 5 ) and the treatment group ( n = 5 ) in which fructose diphosphate sodium UW solution was used. Sham surgery was performed on other five swine, which were used as the sham group. At 12 h,l d,2 d,3 d and 7 d after the operation,the urine volume,urine protein,blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and creatinine(Cr) were determined. At 12 h ,24 h and 7 d after the operation ,renal pathological examination was conducted. Results The renal pathological examination and the blood biochemistry tests showed that the animal model was successful. BUN and Cr in the model group and the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the sham group at 12 h after operation(P <0. 05) ,and they arrived at their peak values at 2 d after operation,showed remarkable decline at 7 d,especially in treatment group,and returned to the level of the sham group. The urine protein in the model group and treatment group were higher than those in the sham group at various times(P <0.05 or P <0.01) and it peaked at 1 d after operation,then declining gradually,especially in the treatment group. Compared with the sham group,there were a significant decrease in the urine volume at various times in the model group(P <0. 05 or P <0. 01 ) ,while in the treatment group,the decrease in the urine volume were significant only at 12 h, 1 d and 2 d( P < 0. 05 ) ,and turned insignificant at 3 d and 7 d. The pathological examination showed that the pathological changes in the treatment group were significantly milder than those in the model group. Conclusion The modified UW solution is effective in reducing the acute renal tubular necrosis in newborn swine.

Objective To explore the safety and the efficacy of the two-stage sedation administration method for the elderly in gastroscopic examination. Methods 128 elderly patients were divided into two groups according to age and body mass index (BMI), and were given sedation treatment before gastroscopic examination by two-stage administration method(group TSAM, n= 64)and continual administration method (group CAM, n= 64) of analgesics respectively. The following major data were recorded : ( 1 ) mean artery pressure (MAP) ;( 2 ) Blood oxygen saturation ( SpO2 ) ;(3)sedation level;(4) recovery time;(5) the amount of propofol used for sedation;(6) electrocardiogram (ECG) ;(7)the degree of pharyngeal malaise;(8) the oblivion degree of malaise. Results There was no significant difference in MAP alteration between two methods(P>0. 05). Compared with group CAM, the decreased degree of SpO2 was slighter and no patient's SpO2 was lower than 90% in group TSAM (P<0. 05). Fifty-seven patients in group TSAM fell into sedative state for gastroscopy with OAA/S score 2, while sixty patients in group CAM with OAA/S score 2, which represented a deeper sedation level in group CAM (P<0. 01). The recovery time was shorter and the amount of propofol used was significantly less in group TSAM than in group CAM (P<0. 01). During the process of gastroscopic exmaination, ST-T change and arrhythmia in ECG were not seen in either of these two groups. The pharyngeal malaise of patients in group TSAM was more severe than in group CAM (P<0. 01). However, there was no difference in the oblivion degree of malaise between two methods(P>0.05). Conclusions The two-stage sedative administration method is safer and more effective for gastroscopic examination for the elderly.

OBJECTIVETo construct the recombinant plasmid of RCAS1, to express and purify its fusion protein GST-RCAS1, and to investigate its biological function.
METHODSRCAS1 encoding gene was amplified by RT-PCR from total RNA extract of MCF-7 cells and was ligated with expression plasmid vector pGEX-2T by T4 DNA ligase after digested by the restricted endonucleases BamH I and EcoR I. Then the ligated products were inserted into competence JM109 E. Coli and the positive recombinants were identified by restriction endonuclease digestion assay and DNA sequencing. The GST-RCAS1 fusion protein expression was induced by IPTG in BL21 E. Coli and was purified with GST column and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting with anti-GST monoclonal antibody, anti-RCAS1 (N-18) and anti-RCAS1 (C-20) polyclonal antibody. The apoptosis of activated T cells induced by GST-RCAS1 fusion protein was detected by flow cytometry with Annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) staining.
RESULTA 642 bp product was cloned by RT-PCR and the recombinant plasmid was constructed successfully. The GST-RCAS1 fusion protein was recognized by GST monoclonal antibody and RCAS1(N-18 and C-20) polyclonal antibody. FACS analysis showed that GST-RCAS1 fusion protein induced apoptosis in activated T cells.
CONCLUSIONThe recombinant plasmid of RCAS1 has been successfully constructed and the GST-RCAS1 fusion protein expressed and purified. The apoptosis inducing effect of GST-RCAS1 fusion protein on activated T cells is demonstrated.
