Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(3):225-227
The platinum-based chemotherapy play an important role in alleviating symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer patients and prolongation of survival time ,The multidrug resistance(MDR),however,seriously affects the chemotherapy affect, the current MDR and its Mechanism studies show that,as a phase Ⅱ detoxification enzymes ghtathione S-transferase-π(GST-π) promote tumor cell resistance to chemotherapoutic drugs by affecting the biotransformation and metabolic processes of drugs,and closely related to MDR in ovarian cancer.

Chinese Journal of Radiation Oncology 2016;(3):288-291
Conventional CT plays an important role in the diagnosis, staging, radiotherapy target delineation, and prognosis of NSCLC, but it still has many limitations.PET/CT has been widely used in the diagnosis and treamtent of lung cancer.In particular, PET/CT metabolic parameters have great guiding significance in the prognosis of NSCLC patients undergoing radiotherapy, and may be superior to many clinical indices.This review summarizes the advances in the application of PET/CT in the prognostic evaluation of NSCLC patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Tianjin Medical Journal 2010;38(1):29-31
Objective: To investigate the effect of different concentrations of dextrose transfusion on cerebral glucose metabolism in pediatric neurosurgical operations. Methods: Sixty anesthetized children undergoing selective cerebral tumor resection were randomly divided into three groups: Ringer lactate solution group (A, n = 20), 2.5% dextrose lactated Ringer's solution group(B, n = 20), 1% dextrose lactated Ringer's solution group (C, n = 20). All the hemodynamic data were recorded during anesthesia. The values of blood glucose and lactic acid were collected before intubation(T_a), 2 hours after opening cerebral dura mater (T_b) and the end of operation (T_c). The catheters for microdialysis were punctured into normal brain tissue. The contents of glucose and lactic acid were determined in the collected intercellular fluid by biochemical analysis instruments at T_A and T_B respectively. Results: There were no differences in heart rate(HR), mean arterial pressure(MAP) and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO_2) among three groups(P > 0.05). There were no differences in blood glucose at T_a between three groups(P > 0.05). The values of blood glucose at T_b and T_c were B group>C group>A group(P < 0.05). The values of blood glucose were higher at T_b and T_c than that of T_a in three groups(P < 0.05). There were no differences in blood lactic acid among three groups(P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in values of glucose and lactic acid in the collected intercellular fluid among three groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion: Transfusion of Ringer lactate solution or low concentration dextrose solution will increase blood glucose in pediatric neurosurgical operations, but still in the normal range, which has a little influence on blood lactic acid, glucose and lactic acid in brain intercellular fluid. It is a safe choice during neurosurgical operation.

ObjectiveTo observe the spinal cord pathological change and hindlimbs motor function of rats after decompression on chronic spinal cord injury.Methods 30 Wistar rats were divided randomly into conrol group ( n =5 ),compression group ( n =5 ) and decompression group ( n =20 ),then the decompression group was subdivided into 4 parts as 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks after decompression.Decompression was made after 30 days of chronic spinal cord copression injury,rats'motor function was detected by inclined plate experiment,the histopathological change,Nissl body and neural cells apoptosis in different spinal cord sections were assessed by the stainings of HE,Nissl and TUNEL.ResultsCompared with control group,the behavior testing showed all rats in compression group presented with weakness of muscle power in their hindlimbs (P < 0.01 ),but the hindlimbs motor functions recovered from the first week after decompression and the difference had statistical significance compared with the compression group(P< 0.01 ).Then the rats hindlimbs functions recovered gradually later on.The staining of HE,Nissl and TUNEL showed that the injured spinal cord section performed no improvement at the first 2 weeks after decompression,the neural apoptosis index(24.31 ± 4.73 )% decreased until the forth week after decompression(P<0.05).The spinal cord segments closed to the injured part recovered in early stage.At 1 week after decompression,lots of Nissl bodys were observed in spinal anterior horn,the neural apoptosis index in the 2 sections closed to the injured part were ( 15.21 ± 4.81 ) % and ( 16.21 ± 3.98 ) %,which declined observably compared with compression group(P < 0.05 ).ConclusionAfter decompression on chronic spinal cord injury,the recovery of rats'hindlimbs motor function in early stage is probably benefited by the functional compensation of the spinal cord segments closed to the injured section.

BACKGROUND: So far there is a lack of reliable biomedical evidence about the effects of three-dimensional y (3D) printed porous β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold loading poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres on the growth and proliferation of cel s, especial y osteoblasts. OBJECTIVE: To construct porous β-TCP scaffold loading PLGA/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres by 3D printing technology and to detect its cytotoxicity. METHODS: Twenty porous β-TCP scaffolds whose aperture was 400 μm were prepared by 3D printing technology. Ten of these scaffolds were randomly selected for loading PLGA/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres, and the others were without any drugs. Then the extracts from two groups were cultured with osteoblasts for 72 hours. Afterwards, cel morphology was observed by inverted phase contrast microscope, and the absorbance value was detected using cel counting kit-8 assay. Besides, the relative growth rate of osteoblasts was calculated to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the scaffold. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The drug-loaded scaffold exhibited with moderate size, regular structure and uniform pores. Within 72 hours of culture in the extracts from the drug-loaded scaffold, elongated or fusiform osteoblasts appeared, with less karyopycnosis. Moreover, the drug-loaded scaffold showed slight cytotoxicity, which was classified as grade 1. In conclusion, the 3D-pinted porous β-TCP scaffold loading PLGA/anti-tuberculosis drug control-release microspheres exhibits no obvious cytotoxicity.

Crohn’s disease( CD)is a gastrointestinal progressive granulomatous disease with unknown etiology. It is characterized as active stage alternating with remission stage,long-term course with many complications,sometimes needing surgery and having the tendency of relapse in patient ’s whole life. Therefore,it is important to define an effective therapeutic endpoint to ameliorate the natural course of CD. This article reviewed the progress in defining treatment endpoint of CD.
