Radiotherapy is an important therapeutic method in the management of head and neck cancer.However,since the head and neck region has many important functions of the human body,radiotherapy may cause serious sequelae.Proton and heavy ion radiotherapies have better radiophysical and biological properties compared with conventional proton beam and are beneficial to tumor control and protection of normal tissue.The advantages of proton and heavy ion radiotherapies have been demonstrated in soft tissue tumors (especially skull base chordoma and chondrosarcoma),malignant melanoma,and adenoid cystic carcinoma resistant to conventional protons in the head and neck region,and the safety of proton and heavy ion radiotherapies have been confirmed in reirradiation for recurrent tumors.

Deifnitive treatment for locoregionally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region (HNSCC) is challenging, and usually require multidisciplinary efforts involving surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Although surgery followed by radiation or chemoradiation therapy remains the standard treatment for resectable disease, combined chemoradiation therapy provides an effective option with organ spearing potential. In addition, combined chemoradiation therapy is the only treatment option for non-metastatic advanced HNSCC. Recently published results from TAX323 and TAX324, two important randomized clinical trials on the efficacy of induction chemotherapy using docetaxel based regimen, showed that induction chemotherapy using TPF can signiifcantly improve patients’ survival as compared to the conventional PF regimen. However, whether TP or TPF induction chemotherapy should be combined with concurrent chemoradiation and considered as part of the standard treatment regimen remains controversial, and requires support from the results of well-designed randomized clinical trial.

Objective To investigate the effect of oxycodone and sufentanil with equivalent dose on hemo-dynamics and stress response in general anesthesia induction. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA I orⅡpa-tients with abdominal surgery were randomly divided into oxycodone group(group O,n=60)and sufentanil group (group S,n = 60). Anesthesia was induced with iv oxycodone 0.20 mg/kg(group O)or sufentanil 0.25 μg/kg (group S)respectively,together with iv propofol 2.0 ~ 2.5 mg/kg and cisatracurium 0.2 mg/kg. The patients were tracheally intubated using a single-lumen endotracheal tube. Mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR),plas-ma levels of epinephrine(E)and norepinephrine(NE),cortisol(Cor)and blood sugar(Glu)and the occurrence of bucking before anesthesia induction(T0),immediately before intubation(T1),at the moment of intubation(T2), 1 min(T3)and 5 min(T4)after intubation were observed. Results Compared with these at T0,MAP and HR in 2 groups were lower at T1(P<0.05)and no significant difference was found in 2 groups(P>0.05). MAP and HR were significantly higher at T2 and T3(P < 0.05)and compared with those in group O,MAP and HR in group S were increased more significantly at T2 and T3(P<0.05). MAP and HR increased slightly at T4 in 2 groups but no significant difference was found in 2 groups(P>0.05). Plasma levels of E ,NE,Cor and Glu increased obviously at T2 and T3 in 2 groups(P < 0.05)and they were even higher in group S(P < 0.05). Plasma levels of E ,NE , Cor and Glu increased slightly at T4 in 2 groups but no significant difference was found in 2 groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion Compared with sufentanil ,oxycodone of equivalent dose used for general anesthesia induction can effectively keep smooth on hemodynamics and decrease stress response.

Objective To prepare the nanometer particles (NPs) of chitosan-5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and to study its characters of drug release in vivo. Methods Cross-linking polymer technique was employed to prepare the chitosan-5-FU NPs, and their characters were detected by scanning electron microscope and photon correlation spectroscope (PCS); the loaded capacity was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometry; high-performance liquid chromatography was used to detect the characters of drug release in vivo. Results The chitosan-5-FU-NPs were found to be round or elliptic in shape, with 120 to 150nm in diameter and having a good dispersive ability. The loaded capacity was 31.000%?0.001%. The blood concentration of 5-FU was controlled at 76?g/L, and it was maintained for 48h. Conclusion As a vehicle, chitosan-5-FU NPs can change the behavior of pharmacokinetics and prolong the cycle time of 5-FU in vivo. Chitosan-5-FU NPs ran reduce the initial burst and prolong the releasing time.

Objective: To observe influence of anxiety or depression on prethrombotic state in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Methods: A total of 112 EH patients were equally divided into EH + A/D group and pure EH group. Levels of prethrombotic state indicators, including serum CD62P, von Willebrand factor (vWF), tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 and endothelin (ET)-1 were measured in two groups. Results: Compared with pure EH group, there were significant increase in levels of CD62P [(4.52±2.01) % vs. (8.38±1.96) %], vWF [(155.28±23.11) % vs. (185.23±22.21) %], PAI-1 [(54.35±13.21) ng/L vs. (79.88±14.53) ng/L] and ET-1 [(121.56±33.32) ng/L vs. (152.78±30.23) ng/L], P<0.05 all; and significant decrease in t-PA level [(19.37±11.46) ng/L vs. (9.56±8.32) ng/L, P<0.05] in EH + A/D group. Conclusion: Anxiety or depression can aggravate prethrombotic state of patients with essential hypertension through activation of platelets, influencing vascular endothelial function and fibrinolytic system imbalance.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation has a certain effect in the treatment pulmonary arterial hypertension.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s transplantation on the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension and to discuss the mechanism.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were in vitro cultured, purified and amplified by density gradient centrifugation method, and labeled with the fluorescent dye for preparation. Pulmonary arterial hypertension model was established by subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline. One week after modeling, the rats were randomly divided into three groups. Rats in the stem cel transplantation group and pulmonary arterial hypertension group received subcutaneous injection of monocrotaline to establish the pulmonary arterial hypertension model. One week later, the rats in the stem cel transplantation group received sublingual vein injection of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel solution, the rats in the pulmonary arterial hypertension group were injected with the culture medium without stem cel s, and the rats in the control group were injected with the normal saline in the same dose.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after transplantation, compared with the mesenchymal-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension rats, the hemodynamic parameters and the ratio of right ventricular/body weight of the rats in the stem cel transplantation group were significantly improved (P<0.05);the degree of pulmonary vascular remodeling was significantly reduced (P<0.05). Fluorescence microscope observation showed that the transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s could alive at least 2 weeks in the stem cel transplantation group, and part of the stem cel s could differentiate into pulmonary vascular endothelial cel s. The results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can significantly improve the pulmonary vascular and right ventricular structural impairments in the rats with mesenchymal-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Method The in-depth interviews were conducted to 7 patients by implementing the phenomenological approach of qualitative study. The acquired data were analyzed. Result The patients experienced four psychological conditions: pessimism about prognosis, anxiety to know more about the chemotherapy and guilty to their family and hope for treatment effect. Conclusion Nurses should pay attention to the psychological conditions of pregnant patients with gynecologic malignancies and help them successfully live through the treatment.

BACKGROUND:Tissue patch is used to increase bone mass after mandibular molar extraction, which is conducive to late-stage repair, but it is unexpectedly found that after implantation of tissue patch, incidence of dry socket is significantly reduced.OBJECTIVE:To assess the efficacy of tissue patch for the control of dry socket caused by mandibular molar extractionvia the method of systematic review. METHODS:MEDLINE (OVID), CENTRAL, EMBASE and CBM were searched for clinical randomized controled trials and clinical controled trials. The keywords were “dry socket, tissue patch, acelular dermis matrix, tooth extraction” in English and Chinese. The references of the included studies and 19 Chinese dental journals were hand-searched. Two reviewers independently assessed the risk of bias using Cochrane Colaboration’s tool, and extracted data. Meta-analysis was delivered with Revman 5.1.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Eight studies, including five randomized controled trials and three clinical controled trials, were included. Totaly 2 052 participants were involved. Seven of the included studies had moderate risk of bias and one had high risk of bias. Meta analysis showed that implantation of the tissue patch into the extraction socket could reduce 86% of the risk of dry socket (relative risk=0.14, 95% confidence interval [0.08, 0.26], P < 0.000 01). Sensitivity analysis showed that this outcome was relatively stable. Implantation of tissue patch into extraction socket could significantly reduce the risk of dry socket, but more randomized controled trials are needed.
