1.Mesenchymal stem cells in radiation-induced lung injury treatment
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(9):706-708
Radiotherapy plays a significant role in the treatment of lung malignant tumor.However,as the most main complication of radiotherapy used to treat lung malignant tumor,radiation-induced lung injury is an important influencing factor in impeding further and higher dose radiotherapy.Previous studies show that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have the characteristics of self-replication,multiple differentiation,immunoregulation and directional migration. MSCs can help to repair many kinds of acute and chronic lung injury,meanwhile stem cell transplantation stimulates production of many cytokines to attenuate acute lung injury.So stem cell therapy provides a new kind of thinking in the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced lung injury.

Objective To observe the effect of visible light on apoptosis of cultured human retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Methods Being the light source,500lx,(2 000?500)lx and (3 400?200)lx cold white light were used. The duration of exposure was 0,6,12 and 24 hours respectively. Apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labelling, Annexin V flunorescein isothiocyanate/Propidium iodium labelling and flow cytometry. Results Apoptosis and necrosis were found in cultured human RPE cells which were exposed to visible light.(1)A significant increase in apoptotic and necrotic percentages was consistent with a higher light intensity.(2)Apoptosis was the main response to shorter (6 h and 12 h) exposure duration,while necrosis was more pronounced correlated to the prolongation of post exposure culture ( P 500 lx) increases the proportion of apoptosis and necrosis of human RPE cells in vitro.The extent is related to exposure intensity and duration. It demonstrates that the lower intensity and the shorter duration of exposure to light are, the more pronounced apoptotic percentages are observed,otherwise necrosis.

Objective To compare and analyze the curative effects of mediopatellar plica syndrome under different therapies. Methods 147 patients with mediopatellar plica syndrome were enrolled in the study from January 2011 to January 2015 and divided into three groups refer to treatment: Group A, B and C. Each group was also divided in the youth group and the mid-age group. Different treatments were used in the three groups. Group A: drug therapy and physicotherapeutics; Group B: intraarticular injection regularly; Group C: arthroscopic surgical treatment. All patient conditions were assessed with Lysholm score. Results All patients received an average of 11 (9 ~ 13) months follow-up. No blood-vessel and nerve injured and infection occurred. Before receiving treatment, difference in Lysholm score of the three groups showed no statistical difference (F = 0.08, P = 0.926); after treatment, difference revealed significant difference (F = 15.48, P = 0.001). Compared with those before operation and after operation among the three groups, the Lysholm score was improved (tA = 3.43, tB = 6.74, tC = 7.99, P = 0.001). In the rangeability of Lysholm score, the Group C > B > A (F = 66.43, tAB = 5.97, tAC = 11.52, tBC = 5.55, P = 0.001);The general youth group > the general mid-age (t = 7.91, P = 0.001). Conclusion The best therapeutic method for mediopatellar plica syndrome is the arthroscopy. As for mid-age patients, it is necessary to inform them of possibility that prognosis is not well in preoperative planning.

Background and purpose:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel was gaining more attention in the treatment for locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The prediction of the sensitivity to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel could enable clinicians to individualize treatment protocols for NPC. Recently we found that 99mTc-MIBI imaging in NPC could predict tumor response to chemotherapy with cisplatin plus 5-FU. However, there was no study to support similar findings in NPC patients receiving chemotherapy containing docetaxel. This study was to evaluate the value of double-phase 99mTc-MIBI SPECT/CT in predicting response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel-based regimen for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods:Thirty-one nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients participated in this prospective study. Before treatment, early and delayed single-photon emission computed tomography/compute tomography (SPECT/CT) images were obtained instantly and 2 hours after an intravenous injection of 25-30 mCi 99mTc-MIBI. All patients received neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of docetaxel, cisplatin plus 5-FU for two cycles. The relationships between efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the early uptake ratio, late uptake ratio and washout rate of 99mTc-MIBI were evaluated.Results:According to the MRI, the early uptake of 99mTc-MIBI (2.67±0.83) in the lesions which were sensitive to chemotherapy was significantly higher compared with that (1.69±0.46) in the insensitive lesions(P=0.003). The difference of the late uptake between the sensitive(1.46±0.39) and the insensitive (1.06±0.62) was also statistically significant (P=0.026). However, the washout rate of 99mTc-MIBI was not significantly different between the two groups (P=0.23). Through ROC curve analysis, the AUC for early uptake of 99mTc-MIBI and late uptake were 0.84. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 74.2%, 87.5%, 95.8%and 46.7%for early uptake when the cut off value of 1.97 was used. Conclusion:The uptake of 99mTc-MIBI in both early phase and late phase could predict the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with docetaxel-based regimen.

Objective To investigate severe complications of inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) applying for preventing pulmonary embo-lism after spinal cord injury. Methods From December 2014 to July 2015, 95 patients with acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in our hospital were retrospected. Results Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) appeared in 23 cases, in which 15 cases placed IVCF. All patients accepted anti-coagulant therapy, except 10 cases with contraindication. 3 cases had severe complication, in which 2 cases had comprehensive DVT distal to IVCF, with both lower limbs severe swelling, acute renal inadequacy and hypertension;1 case had continuous hyperpyrexia. Conclusion Although the IVCF placement was widely used in acute SCI for preventing pulmonary embolism in patients with DVT, however, the selec-tion of IVCF and complication prevention should be taken into account.

Objective To observe the effect of perioperative rehabilitation on anterior spinal cord syndrome caused by cervical hyper-flexion injury. Methods Sixty-nine inpatients with anterior spinal cord syndrome after cervical hyperflexion injury from January, 2012 to De-cember, 2014 were reviewed. 32 cases (group A) accepted systematic rehabilitations and other 37 cases (group B) did not. They were as-sessed with Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores preoperatively and 1-year follow-up. Results All the patients succeeded in the operation. The JOA score improved more 1 year follow-up in group A than group B (t=2.538, P=0.044). Conclusion Systematic rehabilita-tion may work in the management of anterior spinal cord syndrome after cervical hyperflexion injury.
