1.Radiation therapy for pancreatic carcinoma
Chinese Journal of Hepatobiliary Surgery 2011;17(11):879-882
Surgery is the treatment of choice for pancreatic carcinoma.However,only 20% of patients are eligible for surgery,and local control of disease and survival are not good.Although non-surgical treatments result in poor outcome,chemotherapy has been shown to be an effective treatment.The role of irradiation has not been well-established.Modern irradiation technology has shown promising results but there is still lack of strong prospective research evidence to support its widespread use.Irradiation brings along problems which need to be resolved,including target motion,definition of irradiation target,optimal fractionation,total treatment time and the treatment sequence of surgery,chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2003;0(05):-
Objective:To observe whether murine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)implantation improves the survival of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)-bearing mice,and to investigate whether MSCs can differentiate to hepatocytes in HCC microenvironment in a mouse model of orthotopic HCC and its effects on tumor cells.Methods:Murine bone morrow MSCs were obtained through adherent culture method combined with magnetic cell sorting CD45-,CD11b-cells,labeled with CFSE in vitro.Phenotypes of MSCs were analyzed by flow cytometry.A murine model of orthotopic HCC was induced by intrahepatic injection of 5?105 murine H22 hepatoma cells in a BALB/c mouse.In this experiment,twelve BALB/c mice were randomly divided into MSCs implantation and saline administration groups on the 7th day after establishment of orthotropic HCC.CFSE labeled MSCs were injected into tumor and/or normal liver tissue in MSCs implantation group.The life span of HCC-bearing mice was observed.After three weeks,albumin was determined by immunohistochemistry.The livers of HCC-bearing mice were observed by light microscopy.Results:In MSCs group,the mean survival time was 25 days(95%Confidence interval:22-28 d),while,in the control group,mean survival time was 21 days(95%CI:20-23 d).However,the statistical difference was not obvious between the two groups(P=0.0713).It showed that the CFSE labeled cells mainly localized in the border of tumor,also a few in the tumor bed,and expressed albumin.Interestingly,there was a larger area of necrosis in the tumor bed,compared with that in the controls.Conclusion:It can be concluded that MSCs not only could engraft in livers of carcinoma-bearing BALB/c mice,but also could differentiate to hepatocyte-like cell.At the same time,MSCs might induce tumor cells necrosis.Further mechanism need to be studied.
