Objective To evaluate the in vivo efficacy of modified platelet(PLT) additive solution(PAS-ⅢM) with trehalose as a substitute for plasma for the storage of platelet concentrates at low temperature(10℃).Methods Rabbit platelet concentrates were collected and stored in different media and temperature conditions,plasma(22℃),70%PAS-ⅢM/30% plasma(10℃) and plasma/trehalose(-85℃).Platelets in plasma(22℃) on storage day 3,in 70%PAS-ⅢM/30% plasma(10℃) on storage day 3,7,9,and in plasma/trehalose(-85℃) thawed on day 20 were transfused to rabbit thrombocytopenia model.The in vivo recoveries and survivals of the three preserved platelets and fresh platelets were measured and evaluated after transfusion into rabit model of thrombocytopenia.Results The survival of platelets stored in 70% PAS-ⅢM/30% plasma(10℃) on day 9 was lower than that of fresh platelets(P0.05).Recovery and survival of frozen platelets were significant lower than those of the other groups(P

Objective To evaluate the short-term therapeutic effects for patients with primary liver cancer using three-dimensional stereotactic conformal radiotherapy(3D-CRT).Methods Twenty-eight patients with primary hepatic cancer were treated with 3D-CRT(the average overall dose was 38Gy,localized by Elscint twin flash slice CT,radiotherapy plan was designed by Leibinger three-dimensional radiotherapy planning system and operated on Varian 600C/D liner accelerator).The average follow-up time was 12 months(5-17mon.).Tumor volume response rate,rate of free from tumor progression and survival rate were analyzed.The adverse effects were studied simultaneously.Results According to follow-up CT results 3 months after radiotherapy,2 cases had full responses with disappearance of the tumors,while partial responses with decreased tumors mass were seen in 22 cases,and no response in 4 cases.Tumor volume response rate was 85.7%.The last follow-up CT results showed that in 5 patients there was tumor progression in planning target volume(PTV),in 10 cases there was intrahepatic progression but not in PTV,and in 4 cases extrahepatic tumor growth.Intrahepatic tumor free rates 6 months and 12 months after radiotherapy were 66.5% and 38.4%,respectively.6-month survival rate after radiotherapy was 88.6%,12-month survival rate was 70.5% after radiotherapy.During 3 months of radiotherapy,manifestations of subacute radiation injuries occurred in six patients:gastrointestinal hemorrhage in 2 cases,jaundice in 3 cases and subacute radiation hepatitis in 1 patient.No survivors suffered from long-term liver injury.Conclusions With little adverse effect,3D-CRT could raise the control rate of the hepatic tumor,and also short-term survival rate.There fore,3D-CRT is a valuable treatment for patients with primary liver cancer.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects and adverse effects of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3D-CRT) for elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods From August 2001 to October 2006,36 patients over 70 years old with NSCLC were treated with 3D-CRT.Leibinger treatment planning system was used for drafting radiotherapy plan,the prescription dose was 40-80Gy(median,60Gy).Twenty-four patients received hypofractionated radiation every two days in 8-12 fractions at a dose of 5-8Gy per fraction;12 patients accepted conventional fractionated radiation with 30-40 fractions during 6 to 7 weeks.With median follow-up time of 11 months(range,5-54 mon.),tumor volume response rate,1-year and 2-year survival rate were investigated,adverse effects of the treatment were also recorded in present research.Results Of the 36 patients,clinical symptoms were improved in 33 cases,while no changes were observed in 3 cases.According to follow-up CT results 2-3 months after radiotherapy,8 patients showed complete response(CR),22 cases with partial response(PR),with the overall tumor response rate of 83.33%(30/36).In this group,1-year and 2-year survival rate was 66.67% and 36.11% with median survival time of 8 months(range,2-53 months).No patients suffered from serious adverse effects.Conclusions 3D-CRT was an effective and safe treatment for elderly patients with NSCLC,which could raise the survival rate and improve the quality of life with little adverse effects.

Objective To evaluate the contrast enhanced CT manifestations of lymphoma involving cervical lymph node and to compare with features of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Methods CT findings of cervical lymph node were reviewed in 56 patients (male 44, female 12; age: 9-75 year, median 42 year) with untreated lymphoma and 66 patients (male 51, female 15; age: 16-76 year, median 48 year) with squamous cell carcinoma. Four patterns of enhanced nodes were identified: Type I: homogeneous enhancement with an attenuation equal or similar to that of muscle. Type Ⅱ: heterogeneous enhancement with an attenuation much higher than that of muscle. Type Ⅲ: central low density with peripheral enhancement. The enhanced rim was thick and irregular (ⅢA), or thin and regular (ⅢB). Type Ⅳ: central soft tissue density with a very thin enhanced capsule. Results There were various manifestations of cervical nodes of malignant lymphoma, more than one type of abnormalities could be found simultaneously. Type I(47/56, 83.9%) and Type Ⅳ(15/56, 26 8%) were almost exclusively found in lymphoma. Type Ⅱ was more commonly seen in squamous cell carcinoma (31/66, 47%), but was rarely seen in lymphoma (8/56, 14 3%). Type Ⅲ can be seen in both of these disease entities (lymphoma 21/56, 37 5%; squamous cell carcinoma 52/66, 78 8%) , but was more common in squamous cell carcinoma ( P

This study aimed to study the criteria of two-way referral between tertiary-care hospital and communityhealth-care service center for patients with cerebralhemorrhage and a protocol of implementation to promote its treatment and rehabilitation.The criteria of two-way referral between tertiarycare hospital and community health-care service center for patients with cerebral hemorrhage after surgical operation were formulated on a trial basis with mutual consultation by the department of neurosurgery,Shenzhou hospital affiliated to Shenyang Medical College and Hunhewan Community Health-Care Service Center,Heping district,Shenyang. Totally,91 patients of cerebral hemorrhage admitted to the hospital during October 2007 to September 2010 were recruited for the study,46 in the intervention group with two-way referral and 45 in the control group by self-referral determined by their family members.All the patients of the two groups were followed-up for three years.During the follow-up in the intervention group,40 of 46 (95％) patients could comply with taking medication ordered by physicians,ability of daily living remarkably improved by Barthel index in 21 (50％),physical function recovered well in 33 (79％),34 (81％) could insist in self-monitoring and 32 (76％) could visit physicians for regular consultation,all these being significantly better than those in the control group (64％,31％,28％,25％ and 25％,respectively) (P ＜0.01 ).Medical and rehabilitative cost for patients with cerebral hemorrhage accounted for 575 RMB yuan per month in intervention group,as compared to 2246 RMB yuan for those in control group.Two-way referral for patients with cerebral hemorrhage can reduce their medical cost and promote their better rehabilitation.

Objective To investigate the pathologic base of breast cancer malignant halo.Methods The status of margin of 80 cases confirmed breast nonspecific invasive ductal cancer by pathology were determined preoperatively.80 cases were divided into two groups:malignant halo group and non malignant halo group.The estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR),human endothelial growth factor receptor (CerB-2),nuclear protein antibodies (Ki-67) expression were detected by immunohistochemical method.The histological grade,mitotic count and documented tumor size,patient age and the number of lymph node metastases,breast cancer margin on pathology were observed.Halo tissue were drawn from specimens and the tissue structure were observed.Results Ki-67 expression in malignant halo group were significantly lower than those in non malignant halo group.The observing results of the margin status of breast cancer on ultrasound and pathology were consistent.Halo tissue was mainly composed of fatty tissue and scattered clumps of cancerous tissue,fibrous tissue,normal lobular and tubular.Conclusions Malignant halo is a special manifestation of breast cancer on gray-scale ultrasound.
