Non-surgical therapy is important to liver cancer treatment. Actinotheraphy and chemotherapy, because of their less specific for cancer tissue and serious side effect, badly affect the patients' life qualities, sometimes even endanger the patients lives. Hepatocellular carcinoma specific antibodies have been the focus of liver cancer biotherapy. After 20 years of study since 1975, it has been demonstrated that antibodies derived from mouse could not efficiently stimulate the functions of human reactor, but could induce human anti-mouse antibody responses which could bring about serious side effects. The application of DNA recombination technique provides a good method for resolving the immune selection problem. The techniques of humanoriginated antibodies and phage displaying will lead to development of innovative strategies to manage liver cancer. In our country, the antibody products aimed at cancer all originated from mouse while the study of human antibodies is still at its primary stage. Non-human antibodies has been forbidden in clinical trails by FDA in America since 2001. It can be speculated that human antibody products will domminate the future market rapidly.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of neoadjuvant combined postoperative therapy on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after radical operation. Methods41 postoperative cases were divided into 2 groups at random with 20 cases receiving hepatic artery chemotherapy embolization and biotherapy, and 21 cases receiving supporting treatment only.Results The intrahepatic tumor recurrence rate at 1 year and 2 years in treatment group was 10% (2/20) and 30% (6/20), compared with 43% (9/21) and 62% (13/21) in control group (all P

Objective To explore the diagnosis and treatment of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) with bilateral positive Dix-Hallpike test.Methods This is a retrospective study based on the clinical data of BPPV patients diagnosed in the Dizziness Clinic of Changzheng Hospital from January 2012 to December 2012.Totally 490 patients with vertigo and nystagmus provoked by Dix-Hallpike maneuver were included in the present analysis.Results Among all the patients,55 (11.2％) of them presented with bilateral nystagmus by the provocative test.According to the type of nystagmus provoked by DixHallpike maneuver,the 55 patients can be divided into the following four categories.(1) Bilateral geotropic (n =16) and apogeotropic nystagmus (n =5):all these patients were diagnosed with horizontal canal BPPV and free of vertigo after head side-shaking exercise in supine position and Barbecue maneuver.(2) Bilateral predominant down-beating nystagmus (n =2):patients in this group were diagnosed with anterior canal BPPV,and got recovered after Kim maneuver.(3) Bilateral torsional up-beating geotropic nystagmus (n =20):after a lying-down test,6 of the patients manifested as vertical up-beating nystagmus and 14 patientsremained torsional up-beating nystagmus.The formerwere diagnosed with bilateral posterior canal BPPV,and were cured after bilateral PRM therapy,and the latter were diagnosed with horizontal canal BPPV,who were cured after Barbecue maneuver.(4) Torsional up-beating geotropic nystagmus on one side and down-beating nystagmus on the other side (n =12).The down-beating nystagrnus on the other side disappeared when the patients was firstly seated up with head down in 30 degrees for half an hour before second Dix-Hallpike maneuver.These patients were diagnosed with unilateral posterior canal BPPV and cured by PRM therapy.Conclusions It is common for vertigo patients with bilateral nystagmus induced by Dix-Hallpike test.The diagnoses should be made by the types of nystagmus provoked step by step before maneuver therapy.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of Nie-pinching spine coupled with point application and injection for cerebral palsy (CP) in children with spleen deficiency.
Methods:A total of 70 CP children with spleen deficiency were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=35) and a control group (n=35). Children in the treatment group were treated with comprehensive rehabilitation training, Nie-pinching spine, point application and point injection, whereas children in the control group were treated with comprehensive rehabilitation training and oral administration of multi-enzyme tablets. One course of treatment made up of 20 d. There was a 20-day interval between two courses. The cases were treated for a total of 3 courses. Then the therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using scores of spleen-deficiency symptoms and gross motor function measure (GMFM).
Results:After 3 courses of treatment, the total effective rates for spleen-deficiency symptoms and rehabilitation were 85.7% and 77.1% respectively in the treatment group, versus 51.4% and 57.1% respectively in the control group, showing statistical differences (bothP<0.05).
Conclusion:In addition to comprehensive rehabilitation training, Nie-pinching spine combined with point application and injection obtained better effects than oral administration of multi-enzyme tablets.

Objective: To observe the clinical effect of acupuncture plus occupation therapy for fine motor functions in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods:A total of 80 cerebral palsy kids with fine motor dysfunction were allocated into two groups by envelop, 40 cases in each group. Cases in the control group were treated with occupation therapy. Based on the therapy given to the control group, cases in the treatment group were supplemented with acupuncture at the points of the three yang meridians of hand. The treatment was done every other day and 10 times for a course. There was a 15-day interval between two courses, and 3 courses in total. The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated using Peabody developmental motor scale 2 (PDMS-2) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) before and after treatment. Results:After treatment, the standard score for grasping (Grs), standard score for visual-motor integration (Vis), fine motor quotient (FMQ) and modified Ashworth scale (MAS) were significantly improved in both groups (P<0.05). The improvement in the treatment group was more obvious than that in the control group (P<0.01). Conclusion:Acupuncture plus occupation therapy can achieve better effect than occupation therapy alone in improving fine motor functions of upper limbs in cerebral palsy kids.

To obtain the genome sequence of human bocavirus 2 (HBoV2), different regions of HBoV2 genome were amplified through PCR in fecal specimens which had been identified as single-positive for HBoV2 in 2010. A genome sequence of HBoV2 (HBoV2-NC, 5444 bp) was obtained after sequence assembly. The phylogenetic analysis showed that HBoV2-NC had the closest evolutionary relationship with HBoV2 Lanzhou strain. The predication of inverted terminal repeats of HBoV2-NC by DINAMelt showed that inverted terminal repeats were contained in HBoV2-NC 5' terminal, which had the typical stem-loop structure in other parvoviruses. Finally, some flanking sequences of HBoV2-NC were amplified by linker-PCR.

Human bocavirus 1 (HBoV1) is a novel virus that mainly causes respiratory tract infection, and it has the characteristic of genome of Parvovirus, containing three open reading frames that encode non-structural proteins NS1 and NP1 and structural proteins VP1 and VP2. Circular episome is present during the rolling circle replication of HBoV1, which provides the possibility of full genome amplification and infectious clone construction to save HBoV1. The recombination between HBoV1 and HBoV2-4 occurs frequently. With the three-dimensional culture, in vitro culture of HBoV1 provides a powerful tool for research on the pathogenesis of HBoV1. This review focuses on the molecular characteristics, association with diseases, in vitro culture, diagnosis and treatment of HBoV1.

Objective To investigate ATM deletion [del (ATM)] in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and study its correlation with the clinical stage. Methods Spectrum Orange~(TM) labeled sequence specific DNA probe for ATM locus on 11q22.3 and fluorescence in Situ hybridization (FISH) was used to examine del (ATM) in 28 newly diagnose patients with CLL. FISH analysis were performed on bone marrow smears. Clinical staging was done according to Binet Method.Fisher exact propability was used to study the relations between del (ATM) and clinical feature. Results 4 out of the 28 cases were found with deletion of ATM. The incidence of del (ATM) in BinetA, BinetB and BinetC was 1/9 (11.1 %), 1/8 (12.5 %), 2/11 (18.2 %), respectively. Fisher exact propability showed that deletion of ATM was not associated with its clinical feature. Conclusion Application of FISH on archival bone marrow smears is a simple, liable method, and can be readly used to retrospective study of clonal blood system diseases. Deletion of ATM was common cytogenetic changes in CLL patients.And the significance of del (ATM) in the prognosis of CLL in China needs to be further investigated.
