1.Correlation between clinical parameters of multi-thermotherapy and therapeutic effect in cancer treatment
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(11):835-838
Although single thermotherapy has certain curative effect for cancer treatment,it normally leads to the recurrence of tumor in clinical application.Multi-thermotherapy could be an effective approach to solve the problem.Multi-thermotherapy not only kills the tumor cells by heating cells above the physiological temperature,but also induces the anti-tumor immunity of the body to further kill the tumor cells.In order to obrain optimal treatment effect,the time interval of thermotherapy is often set once or twice a week for the consideration of thermotolerance.

Objective To discuss the application of endoscopic techniques in the treatment of calculus of intrahepatic or extrahepatic duct. Methods Laparoscopy in conjunction with duodenoscopy or cholangioscopy was adopted in 96 cases of calculus of intrahepatic or extrahepatic duct, including 72 cases of cholecystolithiasis complicated by choledocholithiasis, 16 cases of simple choledocholithiasis and 8 cases of left intrahepatic duct calculus complicated by choledocholithiasis. The surgical procedures included laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) combined with EST (37 cases), LC combined with cholangioscopic exploration (54 cases), and laparoscopic left hepatic lobectomy combined with cholangioscopic exploration (5 cases). Results Postoperative re-examination revealed no residual calculus in 93 out of 96 patients. Small amounts of biliary leakage occurred in 4 patients and healed spontaneously within a mean time of 10 days. No other severe complications took place. A conversion to open surgery was required in 3 patients, 2 of which were high bile duct stricture and 1 of which were severe portal adhesion. Conclusions Endoscopy in the treatment of calculus of intrahepatic or extrahepatic duct is feasible. Proper application of multiple endoscopic techniques is a safe, effective and minimally invasive means for the treatment of cholelithiasis.

Purpose To establish rabbit VX2 tumor model and to explore the relation between perfusion parameters and the expression of the VEGF in the portal vein VX2 implanting tumor emboli. Materials and Methods VX2 tumor was implanted in the portal vein of eight experimental rabbits. Multi-slice CT (MSCT) perfusion scan was performed after tumor formation to measure and compare portal vein tumor thrombus, hepatic blood lfow (HBF) near tumor foci and far away from tumor foci, hepatic blood volume (HBV), probability of surface area product (PS) and mean transit time (MTT). The VX2 tumor emboli were then resected to analyze the relationship between the liver perfusion parameters and VEGF expression using immunohistochemical method. Results MSCT liver perfusion parameters were not statistically signiifcant between foci close to or far away from the tumor (P>0.05). The HBF, HBV and PS within the tumor emboli were higher than that in hepatic parenchyma (P<0.05) and the MTT was higher (P<0.05). There was positive correlation (r=0.711, 0.646 and 0.626, P<0.05) between the HBF, HBV and PS of portal vein VX2 tumor emboli and VEGF expression, and there was negative correlation between MTT and VEGF expression (r=-0.565, P<0.05). Conclusion MSCT perfusion parameters in the portal vein VX2 implanting tumor emboli and the expression of VEGF are positively related. MSCT can evaluate the angiogenesis of portal vein VX2 implanting tumor emboli.

Objective To establish the carotid fusiform aneurysm model in rabbits carrying similar characteristics of human intracranial aneurysms by using induction method with porcine pancreatic elastase. Methods Twenty-five New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into normal control group (n=5), saline control group (n = 5) and study group (n = 15). The rabbits of the study group were randomly and equally subdivided into 7-day subgroup, 14-day subgroup and 21-day subgroup. By using induction method with porcine pancreatic elastase to digest right common carotid the fusiform aneurysm model was established in all the rabbits of the study group. DSA examination , HE staining and elastic fiber staining pathologic examination were carried out at 7, 14 and 21 days after the procedure to observe the imaging and pathologic changes of the fusiform aneurysm models. Results DSA angiography showed that the mean vascular diameters of the normal control group and the saline control group were (1.64 ± 0.17) mm and (1.66 ± 0.24) mm respectively. The mean length and width of the fusiform aneurysm of the 7-day subgroup, 14-day subgroup and 21-day subgroup were (19.33 ± 1.65) mm and (2.86 ± 0.21) mm, (19.66 ± 1.18) mm and (3.95 ± 0.54) mm, and (19.84 ± 0.82) mm and (4.03 ± 0.95) mm, respectively. Pathologically, rupture of internal elastic membrane, disordered structure of tunica media smooth muscle and distortion of cell shape were observed in the rabbits of 7-day subgroup. Gradually stabilized aneurysmal lumen intimal hyperplasia was seen in the rabbits of 14-day subgroup. Remarkable structure changes at the aneurysmal neck-cavity junction were found in the rabbits of 21-day subgroup. Elastic fiber staining demonstrated that strikingly thinned elastic layer was observed in the rabbits of 7-day subgroup, gradually thinning elastic layer at the aneurysmal neck-cavity junction was seen in the rabbits of 14-day subgroup, and the thinned elastic layer became stable in the rabbits of 21-day subgroup. Conclusion Using simple surgical method combined with porcine pancreatic elastase to digest vascular wall, carotid fusiform aneurysm models can be reliably established in New Zealand white rabbits which carry similar morphologic and pathologic characteristics of human intracranial aneurysms.
