Background and purpose:A variety of measures are taken preoperatively to reduce the tumor size of stageⅠb2 bulky cervical cancer before surgery. Which one is safer and more effective, currently, there is no consensus. This article compared the effect in 3 different treatment methods (neoadjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and operation) on patients with stageⅠb2 bulky cervical cancer, and provided evidence for clinical decision. Methods:Retrospective analysis the clinical date of 133Ⅰb2 bulky cervical cancer patients, who received preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and direct operation from Apr. 2006 to Oct. 2010 in our hospital. Results: The effective rates of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy group were 91.8% and 92.5%, respectively, there was no statistical difference(P>0.05). The tumor size got smaller after treatment compared with the size before treatment (P<0.05);The pathological efifciency rates were 95.56%and 97.30%, respectively, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The bleeding volume of neoadjuvant chemo radio therapy group was significantly higher than those in the other 2 groups (158.9±50.7 vs 116.8±45.5, 123.1±30.2;P<0.05), the infection of immediate surgery group was more severe than the other 2 groups (P<0.05). The pairwise comparison of average operation time in neoadjuvant chemotherapy group, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy group, and the immediate surgery group, pairwise comparisons of neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and the immediate surgery group in bleeding, comparion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy group and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy group on postoperative infection, and the comparison of the 3 groups on pelvic organ injury and lymphocele, had no statistical difference(P>0.05);Pathological examination showed that vascular invasion in surgery group had statistical differences than other 2 groups (P<0.05), there was no patient with positive margin in the 3 groups, and the lymph node metastasis rates also had no statistical difference (P>0.05);Besides, there were no statistical difference on vascular invasion between the 3 groups (P>0.05);And on 3-year overall survival, disease-free survival there was no statistical difference between the 3 groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can effectively reduce tumor size for patients with stage Ⅰb2 bulky cervical cancer before operation, it is better than direct surgery or preoperative chemoradiotherapy in improving the resection rate, and reducing postoperative pathological positive rate, and infection. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy can improve the pathological complete remission rate. The combination of radiation and chemotherapy might produce synergistic effect on huge cervical tumor, but it can’t improve the survival rate. Therefore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is the best choice for the stageⅠb2 cervical cancer patients. Therefore, a long-term follow-up or large sample randomized controlled trials is necessary to assess the prognosis of preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.

Objective To characterize the function of human anti-BP180 single-chain Fv antibody (scFv) in vitro. Methods The IgG autoantibodies against BP180 were purified by affinity chromatography from the sera of patients with BP. The inhibitive effect of previously constructed anti-BP180 scFv on the binding of anti-BP180 IgG autoantibodies to the recombinant NC16A domain of human BP180 antigen was observed by competitive ELISA, competitive immunofluorescence assay and competitive inhibition test for complement activation. Results As ELISA revealed, the scFv significantly inhibited the binding of anti-BP180 IgG autoantibodies to the corresponding antigen (P < 0.01 ), and the inhibitive effect was dose-dependent within the concentration range from 0 to 60 μg/ml. The inhibitive rate peaked at 69.50%. The deposition of anti-BP180-IgG autoantibodies in basement membrane zone and the IgG autoantibody-mediated complement C3 activation were both suppressed by the scFv of 40 μg/ml. Conclusion The genetically engineered anti-BP180 scFv has a certain inhibitive effect on the binding of BP-IgG autoantibodies to BP180 antigen and on the subsequent complement activation in vitro.

Objective:To explore and discuss the differences of pregnancy contents and inform formats in in-formed consent form ( ICF) for the drug clinical trial between China and foreign countries. Methods:We collected Chinese and foreign ICFs for drug clinical trial that had been audited by the Ethics Committee of the third Xiangya Hospital for the past five years. Based on the relevant domestic and foreign law, we concluded the element stand-ards and inform formats about pregnancy inform. By analyzing the integrity of the whole elements, the inform rate of every element and the using rate of every inform format, we compared the differences of pregnancy contents and in-form formats between Chinese ICFs and foreign ICFs. Results:The total number of ICFs was 177 in this study, in-cluding 107 Chinese ICFs and 70 foreign ICFs. The integrity rate of pregnancy in Chinese ICFs was statistically lower than them in foreign ICFs (19% vs. 56%, P=0. 000). Compared with foreign ICFs, the low informed ele-ments were the study of the pregnancy risk (32% vs. 73%, P=0. 000), the pregnancy test during the following-up period (33% vs. 56%, P=0. 002) and the measurements for contraception (22% vs. 53%, P=0. 000). Conclusion:The integrity level of pregnancy content in Chinese ICFs was lower than that of the foreign ICFs. And the three elements including pregnancy risk study, pregnancy test during the following-up period and measure-ments for contraception was obviously defected. Pregnancy informing forms of informed consent in China was inferi-or to abroad.

Exosomes are vesicles with a double globular membrane of lipids that can be secreted by a variety of cells, including stem cells. Exosomes have unique biological characteristics and irreplaceable powerful functions which play an important role in intercellular communication. The various cytokines, signal proteins, lipids and regulatory nucleic acids contained in stem cell exosomes can play a protective role against the injury of kidney, liver, heart, blood vessels and nerves. Stem cell exosomes delay the process of intervertebral disc degeneration by inhibiting the apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells and increasing the synthesis of extracellular matrix, etc. The mechanism of its role is mainly through miRNA and related signaling pathways. Exosomes contain complex components. Although the mechanism of action of exosomes in intervertebral discs has been preliminarily explored, the components contained in exosomes are complex and the specific situation has not been fully understood, which still needs further study. In this review, the characteristics and functions of stem cell exosomes, extraction, identification and storage methods, the impacttovarious other tissues, as well as the effects on intervertebral discs and their mechanisms were elaborated in order to provide a basis for the study of intervertebral disc degenerative diseases.
