Objective To investigate the infiltration of dendritic cell (DC) in Vocal cord polyp, laryngeal leukopla-kia and glottic squamous cell carcinoma,and to observe laryngeal mucosal lesions of the state of the immune microenviron-ment, and to research significance of DC on the development of glottic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods The infiltration of S-100+and CD83+DC in 20 cases of Vocal cord polyp, 47 cases of laryngeal leukoplakia, 45 cases of glottic squamous cell carcinoma tumor and 20 cases of laryngeal normal mucosa were examined using immunohistochemistry. Results The num-ber of S-100+and CD83+DC were significantly higher in glottic squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal leukoplakia and vocal cord polyp than that in laryngeal normal mucosa (P<0.05). The number of S-100+and CD83+DC were higher in laryngeal leukoplakia than that in glottic squamous cell carcinoma (P<0.05). The number of S-100+and CD83+DC in mild dysplasia and moderate dysplasia were less than that in severe atypical hyperplasia (P<0.01). In glottic squamous cell carcinoma, S-100+ and CD83+DC with poor-differentiated was significantly less than that with well-differentiated (P < 0.01). Conclu-sion Changes in the number of dendritic cell was found in vocal cord polyp, laryngeal leukoplakia and glottic squamous cell carcinoma, which indicated that there were an abnormal immune status. Changing of dendritic cell in laryngeal mucosa plays an important role in laryngeal cancer development.

Objective To investigate the dosimetric properties of PTW 60019 synthetic diamond detector in small photon beams.Methods A PTW 60019 synthetic diamond detector was tested under 6 and 10 MV photon beams,respectively.Linearity with dose,dose rate dependence and off-axis ratio were measured and compared to those measured by an IBA SFD.Percentage depth doses were measured and compared to those measured by an IBA SFD and a PTW 31010 semiflex chamber.Total scatter factors were measured and compared to those measured by an IBA SFD and a PTW 31016 PinPoint chamber.Results The dose response of a PTW 60019 synthetic diamond detector showed a good linear behavior as a function of dose,with observed deviations below 0.2％ over a dose range from 100 to 1 000 MU.The dose rate response was almost independent,with deviations below 0.2％ in the dose rate range from 37 to 614 MU/min.For the fields of 20-100 mm in diameter,there were dose differences in percentage depth doses within 1％ as compared to an IBA SFD and a PTW 31010 semiflex chamber.For the 10 mm diameter field,the differences were up to 5.8％ in the build-up region.Off-axis ratios measurements showed a good agreement among the involved detectors (＜ 1％).The higher differences appeared in the penumbra region.A good agreement was also found in terms of total scatter factor measurements for the related detectors.Conclusions The observed dosimetric properties of the PTW 60019 synthetic diamond detector indicate that it is a suitable candidate for small photon beam dosimetry.

Insulin resistance and insulin secretion deficiency are main machanisms in inducing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and mitochondria damage plays an important role in them. Research shows that autophagy is a self-protective mechanism of cells, which plays an important role in maintaining the normal structure and function of pancreatic β cells and improving insulin resistance. Previous studies show that traditional Chinese medicine can regulate cell autophagy to influence β cells and insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications. Thus this review will talk about the process of the relationship between autophagy and T2DM and the intervention effect of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in mid-low rectal cancer following neoadjuvant therapy. Methods A total of 297 consecutive patients with mid-low rectal cancer received radical surgery from August 2002 to August 2005 at Beijing Cancer Hospital. All patients were divided into the neoadjuvant therapy group and a control group according to whether they underwent preoperative radiotherapy or radiochemotherapy. Histological assessment of tumor specimens was made, and correlation of LVI and prognosis was analysed using the chi-square test. The disease-free survival rate and overall survival rate were analysed by the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Results The overall positive rate of LVI was 23.9% (71/297). The positive rates of LVI in neoadjuvant therapy group and control group were 21.5% (31/144) and 26. 1% (40/153), respectively,with no significant difference between the groups ( x2 = 0.872, P ＞ 0.05). In the neoadjuvant therapy and control groups, LVI was significantly associated with pathologic T and N stages as well as the degree of histological differentiation (x2 =13.490, 27.401,7.323;16. 188, 21.623, 16.534, P＜0.05). In the control group, LVI was closely associated with local recurrence (x2 =4. 010, P ＜0.05 ), whereas this was not the case in the neoadjuvant therapy group (x2 =0.000, P＞0.05). LVI was significantly associated with distal metastasis in both the neoadjuvant therapy and control groups (x2 = 4.950, 14. 332, P ＜ 0.05 ). The disease-free and overall survival rates of patients with LVI were 46.4% (26/56) and 56.7% (34/60), which were significantly lower than 75.1%(148/197) and 79.4% ( 166/209 ) of those with no LVI, respectively ( x2 = 16. 720, 12.660, P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Neoadjuvant therapy does not significantly reduce LVI;however, the biological behaviour of LVI has changed. Patients with LVI may benefit from neoadjuvant radiotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of training for therapists based on Kirkpatrick's Four-level Model. Methods Totally 39 ther-apists who completed 2014 Beijing Clinical Shortage of Manpower Training Programs (Therapist) were investigated with Kirkpatrick's Four-level Model, named reaction, learning, behavior and results. Results For reaction level, the total satisfaction was high, but different with the degree of education, especially in the items of Participate in Training, Type of Cases, Organizing on Practice Training, Organizing Case Discussions and Get A Lot of Benefits from the Training (F>4.59, P<0.05). For learning level, the test scores were significantly differ-ent before and after the training (t>9.53, P<0.001). For behavior level, the self-reports of the therapists, and the reports from their depart-ment directors and colleagues all agreed that their ability improved after training (t>4.44, P<0.001). For results level, eleven therapists passed the rehabilitation therapist test, two therapists participated in some researches, and one published an article. Conclusion The thera-pists satisfied in the training, that may improve the ability of therapists to contribute to their organization.

Objective To investigate the correlation between immune cell function and the infection after renal transplantation through monitoring of immune function intracellular ATP by Cylex ImmuKnow assay,and explore its significance in individual immunosuppressive therapy of renal transplantion recipients.Method We collected 44 renal transplant patients suffered from pulmonary infection from January 2014 to March 2015.The patients were divided into two groups according to the clinical status,namely,ImmuKnow monitoring group (n =22) and empirical treatment group (n =22).Thirty-two non-infection recipients were collected as controls.All the kidney transplantation recipients received immunosuppressive therapy based on calcineurin inhibitors,mycophenolate mofetil and prednisone,and ATG for induction therapy after transplantatior.The immune cell function levels were measured by Cylex ImmuKnow assay.The whole blood samples were collected before infection onset,at the time of infection,and 1 week after infection resolution.Result When infection occurred,ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells of the kidney transplant recipients were significantly lower than those in non-infection group [(151.30--71.35 ng/mL vs.(308.34 ± 141.29 ng/mL,P＜0.05).When the infection got controlled,the ATP concentrations in CD4+ T cells increased to those before infection occurred.The average hospitalization time in ImmuKnow monitoring group was 12.27 ± 0.74 days,which was significantly shorter than in empirical treatment group (16.64 ± 1.98 days,P＜ 0.05).The incidence of acute rejection was 4.5％ in ImmuKnow monitoring group,and 13.6％ in empirical treatment group (P＞0.05).Conclusion The examination of ATP in CD4+ T cells by Cylex Immuknow assay could reflect the status of cellular immunity,provide reliable and objective basis for the diagnosis and treatment of infection after renal transplantation,and guide the clinical individualized immunosuppressive therapy.
