Objective:To investigate the clinical application value of argon-helium knife cryoablation combined with radioactive seed implantation in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods:A total of 117 patients with NSCLC admitted to Oncology Department of Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to January 2017 were included in our study.And they were divided into the combination group(n=63)treated with CT guided argon-helium knife cryoablation combined with radioactive 125I seeds implantation and the control group(n=54)treated only with argon-helium knife ablation.The changes of blood routine indexes, tumor markers, tumor ablation target volume and CT value were observed before and 1, 3, 6 months after treatment.Adverse reactions during treatment and the evaluation results of efficacy were compared between the two groups.Patients were followed up for 24 months to observe the recurrence and survival rates between the two groups. Results:In the combination group, seeds of(12.49±4.91)were implanted, and the X-ray exposure was(123.16±42.75)Gy.There was no significant difference in general clinical data between the two groups before treatment( P>0.05). At 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment, as compared with control group the combination group showed the significantly decreased platelet count( t=3.154, 3.586, 2.233, P=0.027、0.019、0.034), while, there was no significant difference in white blood cell count, red blood cell count and hemoglobin level between the two groups(all P>0.05). The levels of carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), neuron-specific enolase(NSE)and tumor volume were significantly lower in combination group than in control group at 3 and 6 months after treatment( t3=3.142, 2.926 and 4.281, t6=4.094, 5.382 and 4.535, all P<0.05), showing significant improvements of illness.While, the above levels showed no significant differences at 1 month after treatment between two groups( t=1.065, 1.037, P=0.197, 0.255). At each monitoring time, the CT value of tumor target area showed a steady downward trend( P<0.05). During the treatment, the incidence of thrombocytopenia was higher in the combination group than in the control group(47.6% or 30/63 vs.24.1% or 13/54, χ2=6.935, P=0.008), while there were no significant differences in the incidence of postoperative fever, pneumothorax, myoglobinuria, pain, bleeding and nausea and vomiting between the two groups(all P>0.05). After 6 months of treatment, the remission rate was higher in the combination group(73.0% or 46/63)than in the control group(48.1% or 26/54). The survival time and relapse-free time of the combination group were longer than those of the control group[(21.81±4.31)months vs.(18.93±5.94)months, (20.48±5.76)months vs.(16.93±7.14)months, Log Rank χ2=8.229 and 9.656, P=0.004 and 0.002)]. Conclusions:Argon-helium knife Cryoablation combined with radioactive seed implantation can effectively control the local progression of NSCLC, reduce the risk of tumor recurrence, and has high safety.

BACKGROUND: Type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen, the main components of cardiac stroma,have supporting,protective and restrictive effects on myocardial cells. They are essential for the heart to maintain its normal shape and function. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen on cardiac function by observing their changes in atrium myocardium of children with ventricular septal defect (VSD). DESIGN: A case analysis. SETTTING: Department of Cytobiology, Xinxiang Medical College. PARTICIPANTS: Six children who had died from accidents were selected from the Pediatric Department of the First Affiliated Hospital,Xinxiang Medical College, between January and August 2003. Informed consent was obtained form their relatives. They were 4 males and 2 females,ranging from 1 to 15 years in age. Congenital heart diseases were excluded by naked-eye anatomical examination,and right atrium tissues were collected for the study. Meanwhile, 21 children with VSD, 12 males and 9 females aged 1-17 years,were recruited from the Department of Cardiac-thoracic Surgery of the same hospital. METHODS:A small amount of fresh myocardium was cut from the right atrium at the edge of incision. Peroxidase-labeled strepto-avidin immunohistochemical method was adopted to detect the expression of types Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen protein in atrium myocardium, which was analyzed using image analysis to calculate the area composition ratio of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in atrium myocardium(representing the relative area percentage of collagen protein) and area percentage (representingthe expression percentage of collagen protein). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Expression of typeⅠand type Ⅲ collagen protein in atrium myocardium. RESULTS: Six normal controls and 21 patients with VSD entered the final statistical analysis. ① Type Ⅰcollagen of normal atrium was strip-like fibers with different diameters connected with each other,whereas type Ⅲ collagen was scattered in spots and pieces. ② The distribution of type Ⅰ and Ⅲ collagen of atrium in VSD patients was mostly similar to that of the normal controls; only part of them displayed extreme rearrangement, that is,type Ⅰcollagen presenting large-speckle increment,breakage or disappearance, while type Ⅲ collagen increased in stripes and bundles. ③ The area percentage and area composition ratio of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen:type Ⅰ collagen expressed more than type Ⅲ collagen in normal myocardium [area percentage: (48.82±12.35)％ vs (40.02±13.53)％, t=2.173, P ＜ 0.05;area composition: (15.87±6.03) μm2 vs (13.62 6.94) μm2, t=2.221, P ＜ 0.05].Likewise, type Ⅰ collagen expressed more highly than type Ⅲ collagen in VSD myocardium [area percentage: (55.37±10.42)％ vs (50.27±14.36) ％,t=2.173, P ＜ 0.05; area composition: (24.93±9.62) μm2 vs (19.22 12.03) μm2,t=2.221, P＜ 0.05]. The content of both type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen in VSD children was obviously higher than that in normal children(t=2.153-2.234,P ＜ 0.05). CONCLUSION: In children with VSD, part of type Ⅰ and type Ⅲ collagen is found rearranged and increased in atrium, which may result from the interstitial compensation due to cardiac dysfunction.

Objective:To study the effects of vitamin C (VC) on the injury of alveolar macrophages exposed to Ni2O3 in vitro and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Method:The alveolar macrophages were cultured with exposure to Ni2O3 in vitro. Meanwhile,VC with different concentrations (25,50 and 100 ?mol/L) were added to the medium, respectively. The cell activity,nitric oxide(NO),reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of SOD, GSH-Px,CAT and iNOS were detected. iNOS mRNA expression was detected by using RT-PCR. Results:VC could decrease mortality and increase survival activity of alveolar macrophages. VC could also decrease ROS,NO and NOS activity,increase SOD,GSH-Px, CAT activities and downregulate the expression of iNOS mRNA. Conclusion:The lipid peroxidation of alveolar macrophage could be induced by Ni2O3. VC could downregulate the expression of iNOS mRNA and reduce the production of ROS and NO through increasing the activity of antioxidative enzymes and antagonize the oxidative damage induced by Ni2O3.

From June 2007 to June 2009, 133 patients underwent esophageal resection, among them 64 cases received esophageal reconstruction with narrow gastric tube (NGT) and 69 received esophageal reconstruction with whole stomach (WS).The postoperative quality of life (QOL) in 6 months of both groups was investigated.The study found that there were 3 cases in WS group having leakage, while no one in NGT group, the weight loss, regurgitation and chest-stomach syndrome in NGT group were superior to those in WS group, there were no statistical differences in activities of daily life, emotional functions, food intake, dysphagia between two groups.The study indicates that the quality of life in NGT group is superior to that in WS group.

The concept of male climacteric syndrome or andropause was advanced 55 years ago based on the fact that some men aged over 50 would present similar clinical symptoms as menopausal women. Since then, many related concepts have been presented to describe this specific period of time in men's life, and controversies have never ceased on this concept and its implication. To represent this unique phenomenon in a very general manner, such terms as male climacteric syndrome (andropause), late-onset hypogonadism, and partial androgen deficiency in the aging male (PADAM) are extensively used in clinical practice at the present time. But strictly speaking, these terms differ significantly, each representing a specific physiological condition. Out of different objectives, researchers might use some of the concepts to design their experiments or summarize related data. But it is very important for them to clarify real intentions and particular characteristics of selected research objects, so as to choose and use a proper concept.

Objective To evaluate the of the decision process to perform staged or synchronous bilateral percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) in the treatment of bilateral upper urinary tract calculi. Methods Patients with an indication for bilateral PCNL were enrolled in the study from Jan. 2008 to Dec. 2008. The decision to perform staged or synchronous bilateral PCNL was based on the initial side operative time, the changes of hemoglobin level and systolic arterial pressure, the results of blood gas analysis and the patient′s tolerance at the end of initial side operation. The patients were divided into two groups, patients who underwent synchronous bilateral PCNL were in group one. Patients where the PCNL procedure was stopped after the initial side and subsequently underwent staged bilateral PCNL three to six weeks later were placed in group two. The success and complication rates of two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Of 60 planned simultaneous bilateral PCNLs, nine were stopped after the initial side, due to prolonged operative time in four cases, a hemoglobin level ＜100 g/L or the decrease of more than 30 g/L in three cases, a systolic arterial pressure lower than 90 mm Hg or the decrease more than 30 mm Hg in two cases, an arterial blood pH lower than 7.35 or the arterial oxygen saturation lower than 95% in two cases or the patients were intolerant to the surgery in three cases. Between the two groups, the differences of patient gender, age, BMI, preoperative hemoglobin level, the total hemoglobin decrease, the side initiated operation, stone number and second side stone burden were insignificant. However, there were significant differences in the first operative side stone burden, total stone burden, the first operative side operative time and total operative time. The stone-clearance rate was 87.3% in group one and 88.9% in group two. There was no difference in complication rate of two groups. Conclusions Prolonged operative time, large blood loss during the first operation side and patient intolerance are the main causes of staged bilateral PCNL.
