BACKGROUND: Angiostatin(AS) can effectively inhibit proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells and also inhibit tumor angiogenesis.OBJECTIVE: To observe the inhibitory action of angiostatin, 131I and 131 I labeled angiostatin(131I-AS) on proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell ECV304 and on mass and volume of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) in mice.DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial with human umbilical vein endothelial cell ECV304 and Lewis lung carcinoma tumors growing in C57BL/6 mice as subjects of research.SETTING: A radiological lab and a nuclear medicine department in a military university.MATERIALS: Totally 28 LLC carrying male C57BL/6 mice, weighing(20± 2) g, 5 - 7 weeks old.METHODS: 131I-AS solutions of four concentrations were made: solution A(131I 0. 74 GBq/L, AS 0. 5 mg/L); solution B(131I 0.74 GBq/L, AS 16 mg/L); solution C(131I 1.48 GBq/L, AS 0.5 mg/L); solution D(131I 1.48 GBq/L, AS 16 mg/L). The effect of 131I-AS, AS alone and 131I alone on proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cell ECV304 was observed with MTT method. The 28 tumor carrying mice were randomly assigned into 4 groups, in each of which was injected 0.3 mL of 131I AS(131I 11.1 MBq and AS 2.5 mg/kg), AS(2.5 mg/kg), 131I(11.1MBq) and saline respectively for twice with 7 days interval. Then the change in tumor mass and volume was observed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The inhibition rate on cell proliferation with MTT method; ② Change in tumor mass and volume.RESULTS: ① The inhibition rate of AS alone(0. 5 -64 mg/L) on ECV304 was (7.3 ± 3.5) % - (41.9 ± 4. 3 )% ( P = 0. 003 vs AS of 0). The inhibition rate of the 4 concentrations of 131I-AS on ECV304 was(23.9±2.8)% ,(58.2±3.9)%, (39. 1 ±4. 1)% and(78.4 ±5.4)%, which were much higher than AS alone or 131I alone( P =0. 000 3) . ② The mean volume of LLC in the four groups were (3 943 ± 236), (5 219 ± 351 ), ( 1 963 ± 126),(7 353 ±350) mm3 respectively. Compared with saline group, the tumor inhibiton rate in the other 3 groups were 46.4% , 29.0% , 73.3% respectively( P =0. 000 1 ).CONCLUSION: 131I-AS inhibits proliferation of endothelial cells in vitro and inhibits LLC growth in vivo and it outdoes AS or 131I alone.

Objective To investigate precision error between Varian auri-point localization system and Tosplane digital-bed localization system. Methods Varian Eclipse localization method and Topslane localization method were used separately to locate one target area for one same patient. Then deviations on the tumor center coordinate were measured under the simu- lation localization machine. Results Under two localization methods, the length error: 1.7mm ?0.3mm; the width error: 0.5mm?0.4mm; the altitude error: 1.2mm?0.4mm. Conclusion The curative effect of radiotherapy would be improved by applying the Topslane localization bed to the Varian Eclipse plan system.

Objective To assess and compare the advantages and disadvantages of five fields of three dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT),three fields of 3DCRT and the simulator-guided radiation therapy for patients with esophageal carcinoma.Methods Twenty patients with esophageal carcinoma were treated by three dimensional conformal radiation therapy,at the same TPS,three Dimensional conformal radiation therapy target and normal tissue of three radiotherapies were simulated.The treatment planning was five days per week with 1.8~2.0 Gy per fraction。 5 fractions per week,5OGy per 5~6 weeks. Results Compared with simulator-guided radiation therapy,3DCRT planning has better dose distribution and protection of normal tissue. Conclusion Esophageal cancer conformal radiotherapy can reduce the radiation injury of the normal tissue and complications,and improve treatment of conformal radiotherapy and the target dose distribution.

OBJECTIVE To report a case of AIDS associated with penicilliosis marneffei and discriminate the morphology in bone marrow examination and cultural characteristic of Histoplasma capsulatum and Leishmania donovani.METHODS The three pathogens in bone marrow morphology and cultural characteristic were studied.RESULTS AIDS patient was often infected with P.marneffei,but we could differentiated easily from other pathogens because of its breeding by splitting up and the characteristis structure in bone marrow examination.CONCLUSIONS Isolation of the P.marneffei is the golden diagnosis standard,and the examination of bone marrow is important to diagnose P.marneffei infection.

Objective:To study the epidemic characteristics of human brucellosis in Yunnan Province, and to provide a reliable scientific basis for formulating accurate prevention and control strategies of brucellosis.Methods:The epidemic data of human brucellosis in Yunnan Province from January 2019 to December 2021 were collected from the information system of the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as annual monitoring data on brucellosis reported by various states (municipalities) in Yunnan Province. Descriptive epidemiological methods were adopted to analyze the epidemic situation, distribution characteristics (time, region, population), and serological and pathogenic monitoring results of brucellosis.Results:From 2019 to 2021, 1 408 cases of brucellosis were reported in Yunnan Province, with an average annual incidence of 1.00/100 000. The number of cases increased from 321 in 2019 to 701 in 2021, and the incidence increased from 0.68/100 000 in 2019 to 1.50/100 000 in 2021. The onset time was mainly from April to September (857 cases). The top 3 regions with the highest number of reported cases were Kunming City (483 cases), Qujing City (379 cases), and Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture (281 cases), accounting for 81.18% (1 143/1 408) of the total number of cases. The age of onset was mainly 20 - < 70 years old, accounting for 89.70% (1 263/1 408). There were 958 males and 450 females, with a sex ratio of 2.13 ∶ 1.00. Farmers were the main occupation, accounting for 84.02% (1 183/1 408). From 2019 to 2021, a total of 26 280 serum samples from key populations of brucellosis were monitored in Yunnan Province, with 572 positive serological tests and a positive rate of 2.18% (572/26 280). A total of 169 strains of Brucella were isolated from blood samples from hospitals throughout the province, including 155 strains of sheep type 3 and 14 strains of sheep type 1. Conclusions:From 2019 to 2021, the incidence of human brucellosis in Yunnan Province has been on the rise, with a high incidence in summer and autumn. The main population affected is young and middle-aged male farmers. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen disease monitoring and health education for key populations during the high incidence season.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of probiotics combined with bismuth quadruple therapy (BQT) on clinical efficacy、gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora in Helicobacter pylori (HP) positive patients. MethodsThe patients who were positive for HP from May 2023 to July 2023 in the department of gastroenterology of Shanghai first people's hospital were randomly divided into2 groups with 40 people in each group. The probiotic group was given 2 weeks of quadruple therapy with probiotics and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotics after quadruple discontinuation. The placebo group was given 2 weeks of probiotic placebo and standard BQT, followed by 4 weeks of oral probiotic placebo. 13C urea breath test was used to evaluate the clinical efficacy, gastrointestinal symptoms rating Scale was used to evaluate the gastrointestinal adverse reactions of patients before and after the intervention, and microbial diversity 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to detect the level of intestinal flora of patients before and after the intervention. ResultsThere was no significant difference in the eradication rate between the two groups (P>0.05). Before the intervention, there was no significant difference in the scores of the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale between the probiotic group and the placebo group. After the intervention, patients in the probiotic group had significantly lower pain scores on acid reflux (1.10±0.30 vs 1.35±0.53, P<0.05) and stomach or abdominal hunger than in the placebo group (1.07±0.26 vs 1.30±0.52, P<0.05). Through the before-and-after comparison of the probiotic group, the scores of abdominal pain (1.24±0.44 vs 1.58±0.71, P<0.05), stomach or abdominal hunger (1.07±0.26 vs 1.27±0.45, P<0.05) and dry and hard stool (1.24±0.49 vs 1.48±0.75,P<0.05) were significantly lower in the probiotic group than before the intervention in the probiotic group. ConclusionProbiotics combined with BQT can improve the gastrointestinal adverse reactions and intestinal flora disorders in the process of quadruple drug therapy, but it does not improve the eradication rate of HP.
