Objective:To investigate the efficacy of stereotactic body radiation therapy with gamma-knife (γ-SBRT) combined with targeted drug sorafenib and hyperthermia for the treatment of recurrent and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods:A total of 71 patients with recurrent and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma were admitted from August 2007 to December 2009. Among these patients, 39 were treated with γ-SBRT and hyperthermia (group 1); 19 were treated with γ-SBRT combined with sorafenib and hyperthermia (group 2). Results: The total efficacy rate after a three-month treatment was 83.1% (59/71). In group 1, the following results were obtained:one-and three-year local control rates of 41.0%(16/39) and 18%(7/39), respectively;one-and three-year overall survival (OS) rates of 41.2% and 17.9%, respectively; and one- and three-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates of 38.4% and 15.4%, respectively. In group 2, the following results were obtained:one-and three-year local rates of 56.3%(18/32) and 28.1%(9/32), respectively;one-and three-year OS rates of 62.5%and 28.1%, respectively;and one-and three-year PFS rates of 59.4%and 25.0%, respectively. Significant differences in OS and PFS were observed between the two groups. Conclusion:The combination ofγ-SBRT with targeted drug sorafenib and hyperthermia can be used effectively to treat recurrent and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma. Adverse reactions are mild, and patients can tolerate this treatment.

Objective: To investigate relationship between the clinicopathological features and prognosis of T1 esophageal carcinoma. Methods: Data from 212 T1 primary esophageal cancer patients, who underwent radical surgery in The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from Jan 2001 to Dec 2009 were enrolled. There were 148 males and 64 females. There were 91 patients with stage pT1a and 121 patients with stage pT1b. Results: The survival of the 212 patients was 27~108 months, and the median survival was 80.8 months. The 1, 3, and 5 year survival rates of patients with stage T1a were 100%, 97.8% and 94.5%, respectively, and the median survival was 86.8 months. The 1, 3, and 5 year survival rates of patients with stage T1b were 100%, 95.9% and 74.4%, respectively, and the median survival was 76.2 months. The rate of lymph node metastasis in 121 patients with stage T1b was 26.4% (32/121). The lymph node metastasis rates in patients with stage sm1, sm2 and sm3 were 11.6% (3/26), 15.0% (6/40) and 41.8% (23/55), respectively. There was no significant difference in lymph node metastasis between stage sm1 patients and stage sm2 patients (P=0.973). Lymph node metastasis rates in patients with stage sm3 were higher than those in stage sm1 and sm2 (P<0.05). Conclusion Radical resection of esophageal carcinoma with peripheral lymph node dissection is recommended for patients with T1b esophageal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo explore a method for the treatment of the skin defects at the distal phalanges of 2-5th fingers.

METHODSThe island flap at the dorsum of the middle phalange was designed with the pedicle of dorsal branches from the digital proper artery. When the flap was used to repair defect at finger pulp, the dorsal branch of the digital proper nerve in the flap was kept to be anastomosed to the digital proper nerve at the recipient finger. From Feb. 2005 to May. 2010, 54 cases with skin defects at the distal phalanges of 61 fingers were treated with the flap, including 35 defects at finger pulp and 26 defects at finger tip.

RESULTSThe maximum size of defects and flaps was 2.2 cm x 2.5 cm and 2.4 cm x 2.7 cm, respectively. 61 flaps survived completely. Blister was happened in 3 flaps 2 days after operation, which healed spontaneously without necrosis. 54 cases were followed up for 5 to 22 months (average, 11 months). The flaps had good texture and color match with normal sensation (grade S4). The 2-point discrimination distance was 6-9 mm. The interphalangeal joint had normal movement.

CONCLUSIONSThe island flap at the dorsum of the middle phalange is an ideal method for the skin defect at the distal phalange of finger.

Objective: To investigate the expression of nucleolar and spindle-associated protein 1 (NUSAP1) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and analyze its relationship with the prognosis of NSCLC patients. Methods: Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical staining were performed to determine the expression of NUSAP1 in NSCLC tissues and adjacent tissues collected from hospital. The relationship between NUSAP1 expression and prognosis of NSCLC patients was analyzed by online database. Results: The expression level of NUSAP1 mRNA in tumor tissues was significantly higher than that of adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The high expression rate of NUSAP1 protein in NSCLC tissues was 58.0% (29/50), significantly higher than 22.0% (11/50) of adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The high expression of NUSAP1 protein in NSCLC tissues was closely correlated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis and TNM stage (P<0.05), but was not related to age and gender. The data showed that the expression level of NUSAP1 mRNA was inversely associated with the overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients (P<0.001). The expression of NUSAP1 mRNA was significantly correlated with the pathological grade, clinical stage, gender, chemotherapy, smoking history, and histological type of NSCLC patients (P<0.05). Conclusions The expression of NUSAP1 is up-regulated in NSCLC, which is correlated with the growth and development of NSCLC and prognosis of the patients. These results indicate that NUSAP1 can be used as a potential prognostic marker for NSCLC.

OBJECTIVETo describe trends of changes in blood lead levels in children aged 1 - 6 years during the time period before and after introducing lead free gasoline in Shanghai 1997 and 1999.

METHODSBlood lead levels of 1 969 children aged 1 - 6 years were determined by a sampling survey in five districts of Shanghai in August and September, 1997. Blood lead levels of the same population were re-determined by the same method from April to June in 1998 and from August to September in 1999. Filter paper blood lead test was carried out monthly using the filter paper blood lead proficiency testing program of Centers for Disease Control in the United States. The results from blood lead samples were under acceptable ranges during the study.

RESULTSThe geometric means of blood lead levels were 83 microgram/L in 1997, 80 microgram/L in 1998 and 76 microgram/L in 1999, respectively. The prevalence rates of childhood lead poisoning (blood lead level was equal or more than 100 microgram/L) were 37.8% in 1997, 25.7% in 1998 and 24.8% in 1999. The amounts of decrease on average blood lead levels in the five districts between 1997 and 1999 were 10 microgram/L, 11 microgram/L, 6 microgram/L, 4 microgram/L and 2 microgram/L, respectively.

CONCLUSIONLead poisoning is a preventable disease. The average levels of lead in young children in Shanghai decreased significantly after the introduction of lead free gasoline to Shanghai. Lead emissions from vehicles running on leaded gasoline was one of the important contributors to increase the children's blood lead levels in Shanghai. Lead poisoning is not evenly distributed among children in Shanghai, resulting in the different levels of decline.

Objective: To analyze the safety of an inactivated 2019-nCoV vaccine (Vero cell) in adults aged 60 years and older. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study was conducted in May 2020 The eligible residents aged 60 and above were recruited in Renqiu city, Hebei Province. A total of 422 subjects (phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ:72/350) were enrolled. Two doses of the trial vaccine or placebo were randomly administered according to a 0 and 28-day immunization schedule. Subjects were randomly divided into two groups in Phase Ⅰ. Within each group, participants received vaccine or placebo in a ratio of 2∶1. Subjects were randomly divided into four groups in phase Ⅱ to receive low-dose, medium-dose, high-dose vaccine and placebo, respectively, in a ratio of 2∶2∶2∶1. A combination of regular follow-up and active reporting was used to observe adverse reactions within 28 days after vaccination, and compare the incidence rate of adverse reactions in the trial and control groups. Results: 422 subjects were (66.45±4.70) years old, and 48.82% were male (206/422). There were 100, 124, 124 and 74 patients enrolled into the low-dose, medium-dose, high-dose vaccine groups and the placebo group, respectively. One person without the vaccination was removed, and 421 participants who received at least one dose of vaccine were included in the safety analysis. Within 28 days after the first or second dose, a total of 20.67% (87/421) subjects had adverse reactions (both solicitation and non-solicitation). About 76 patients suffered grade 1 adverse reactions [18.05% (76/421)] and 22 patients suffered grade 2 adverse reactions [5.23% (22/421)]. No grade 3 or above adverse reactions occurred. A total of 19.71% (83/421) subjects had solicited adverse reactions. The most common grade 1 adverse reaction was injection site pain, followed by fever and fatigue. The most common grade 2 adverse reactions were fever and fatigue, followed by muscle pain and injection site redness. A total of 2.61% (11/421) subjects had unsolicited adverse reactions. A total of 1.66% (7/421) subjects had serious adverse events after vaccination, and no serious vaccine-related adverse events were reported. Conclusions: The inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine is safe for people aged 60 years and above.
