1.Neoadjuvant therapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(6):455-458
The local recurrence rote is high after operation without chemotherapy or radiotherapy for lo-cally advanced rectal cancer. Recent random-control clinical phase Ⅲ studies suggest that the neoadjuvant ther-apy for locally advanced rectal cancer can improve local control rate obviously and ameliorate survival rate for pathologically complete response patients. In Europe and America, the neoadjuvant therapy has been regarded as the standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer. However the choice of chemotherapy agents, the application of hyperthermia and so on will be still requested further clinical trails.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and the side effects of 3 D-conformal radiotherapy for malignant thoracic tumor. Methods: Between September 1999 and August 2002, 36 patients with malignant thoracic tumor were treated with 3D-conformal radiotherapy. Twenty-two patients had primary lung cancer, 12 patients had metastatic lung cancer, and 2 patients had malignant mediastinal tumor. All 36 patients were pathologically confirmed. Squamous cell carcinoma 16 cases, adenocarcinoma 15 cases, small cell carcinoma 2 cases, embryonal carcinoma 1 case, malignant thymoma 1 case and sarcoma 1 case. For the primary tumor, conventional radiotherapy was first used to 50Gy/25F/5W, followed by 3D-conformal radiotherapy 16-20Gy(4Gy per fraction, 3 fractions per week) with MLC or cone from 5 ~6 non coplanar or coplanar static ports. For metastatic tumor, using arc therapy to only 28-40Gy(4Gy per fraction, 3 fractions per week, 7-10 fractions) with cone from 1 ~ 4 arcs. Tumor volumes from 1. 85 cm3 to 104. 61 cm3 with a median of 24. 96 cm3 in 3D-CRT. Results: To evaluate the effects, thoracic CT scan was taken two months after completion of 3D-conformal radiotherapy. In 34 evaluated patients, 13 cases obtained CR, 14 PR, 5 NC, and 2PD. The overall 1 and 2-year survival rates were 74. 1% and 38.4%. Toxicity consisted of grade 1 acute radiation pneumonitis in 17 patients, grade 2 in 10 patients, grade 3 in 1 patients, and 2 patients dead of radiation pneumonitis ( with non coplanar technique), late complication was radiation pulmonary fibrosis, grade 1 in 20 cases, grade 2 in 8 cases. Conclusions: 3D-conformal radiotherapy as complement of conventional external beam radiotherapy for malignant thoracic tumor can obtain better short-term effects, although the survival is yet to be investigated. But attention must be given to the irradiation technique, the irradiation volume should not be too large and beams angles appropriately adjusted to avoid excessive irradiated volume in normal lung.

Binzhou Medical University began to launch an experimental class of the clinical medical science in 2012 aimed at the undergraduates only.In this class,the ‘centered on the subject’ teaching mode was transformed into the ‘ organ-systems based curriculum’ or ‘ OSBC’ for short.Under the OSBC,the morphology combined the following three subjects:anatomy,hyphology and pathematology into an organic unity.This new subject pays more attention to the relationship among the morphology' s characters,the functional situation and the change of the pathogenesis.A variety of forms such as combining theories with experiments,the case-oriented teaching,translocation type teaching and bilingual teaching are used.To evaluate the students' performance more comprehensively,and to judge the teaching quality more objectively,the formative and summative assessments are used together.The morphology under this new mode is still on its exploration stage.Though with the shortage of corresponding teaching materials and the qualified teachers,it bears fruit and is feasible.
