If loosely defined,an abscopal effect occurs when localized irradiation affects the whole organism.In recent years,distant tumor regression and normal tissue damage after localized irradiation have been concerned by immuno-oncologists.However,the mechanisms of this effect are still far from clear.Mounting evidences suggest that the generation of abscopal effects is closely related to immune regulation.Radiotherapy might become a systemic tumor-treatment modality by enhancing immune function and played an important role in every stage of tumor development and prognosis.For the moment,targeting the immune checkpoint has become an attractive approach for malignant tumor therapy.Preclinical data have revealed that a strong abscopal effect could be effectively induced by the co-treatement of immune checkpoint inhibitors and irradiation,which could recruit antitumor T cells and achieve a powerful antitumor effect.This review discusses current progress and perspectives of abscopal effects in the combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy.

Objective To test the status of Keap-1/Nrf-2 pathway in cisplatin-resistant Skov3/DDP cells,and the contribution of these molecular in cisplatin (cis-pt) resistance.Methods Skov3/DDP was divided into four groups:blank,cis-pt,Keap-1 up-regulated and Keap-1 plus cis-pt.Keap-1 was up-regulated in Skov3/DDP cells by trans-faction with pFlag-CMV-Keap-1 plasmid which was validated by expression of flag and increase of Keap-1 level using Western blot.The effect of Keap-1 up-regulation on Nrf-2 re-distribution was analyzed by Western blot.FCM was employed to detect apoptosis.ROS level was measured by DHE staining.Results The expression of Keap-1 was decreased obviously in Skov3/DDP cells compared with Skov3 cells (P＜0.05),Nrf-2 in Skov3/DDP cells detected mainly in nucleus.Then,the Keap-1 was successfully up-regulated (3.5 fold) by exogenous expression of pFlag-CMV-Keap-1 plasmid,as a result,nucleus portion of Nrf-2 was significantly reduced (0.2 fold).Next,the FCM results showed significant increase of apoptosis in Keap-1 up-regulated Skov3/DDP cells after cis-pt administration (P＜0.05).Finally,ROS level was significantly raised in Skov3/DDP cells treated with cis-pt plus Keap-1 up-regulation.Conclusions Up-regulation of Keap-1 reduced the nucleus portion of Nrf-2 and reverses cisplatin resistance in Skov3/DDP cells.

"Hectic fever"is one kind of traditional Chinese medicine symptoms that call be Seen in marlv diseases and usually occurs in the afternoon during 3 to 5 PM.With constant clinical practices,doctors have proved that hectic fever can be induced by excess syndrome of Yang Ming Fu-organ,deficiency of blood and body fluid,stagnation of blood stasis,repression of qi activities due to humid heat,and floating of deficient yang qi.Therapies are divergent according to different pathogenesis.Clinically we should make the identification of etiology according to differentiation of symptoms and signs.grasp the essential pathogenesis and fully play the characteristics of TCM in treating based on syndrome differentiation and treating the same disease with different methods.

OBJECTIVE To explore the status of nosocomial infection,infection sites of patients and susceptible factors of infection in neuro-intensive care unit(NICU) in order to correspondently prevent and control the occurrence of nosocomial infection.METHODS The clinical data of 471 patients admitted to NICU from Mar 2005 to Feb 2006 were investigated retrospectively.RESULTS Out of 471 cases in one year,a total of 90 cases of nosocomial infection were found.The rate of nosocomial infection was 19.11%.Among the nosocomial infection sites,the respiratory tract was the most frequent one(46.67%).The second was urinary tract(44.17%).The patients aged of more than 60 years,or with urethral catheter,mechanical ventilation,vein intubations,or with long medical intubation suffered infection more susceptibly than other patients.The infection rate of nosocomial infection was significantly different from hospitalization group.Sex was not evidently related to nosocomial infection.CONCLUSIONS The rate of nosocomial infection in NICU is largely higher than the total rate of infection.The susceptible factors are age,long-term hospitalization,invasive operations and long medical intubation.

Objective To explore the significance of hidden rheumatoid factor-IgM(HRF-IgM),anti-cyclic citullinated peptide antibodies(anti-CCP),antikeratin antibodies(AKA)combined test in the diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA).Methods The anti-CCP and rheumatoid factors(RF)were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)in serum samples from 60 children with JIA,27 systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE),18 kawaski diseases and 50 healthy children who were enrolled to serve as normal controls.Indirect immumofluorescence method was used to test AKA.Using the QAE-Sephadex-A50 to separate RF then tested HRF-IgM by ELISA.Results Positive anti-CCP were found in sera of 13 patients with JIA(21.7%)and specificity 96.8%.RF were found lower test both with the JIA and other groups(?2=0.17 P=0.68).The results of AKA were similar to the anti-CCP,they were both lower sensitivity and higher specificity.There were 65% sensitivity and 85.3% specificity in the HRF-IgM,and great significant difference in positive rate in JIA and other group(?2=40.22 P=0.0001).Conclusions JIA children in the studied series has a higher detection rate and value of HRF-IgM as compared to the other control groups.HRF-IgM,anti-CCP,AKA combined test in JIA can prove to be a valuable reference index for diagnosing suspected JIA children.

Two patients with coexistence of thyroid disease and suspected Gitelman's syndrome underwent SLC12A3 gene analysis. The results confirmed that both patients were compound heterozygotes of SLC12A3 gene mutation. Three novel variants of SLC12A3 were found in this study. This report suggests that Gitelman's syndrome may coexist with other disorders associated with hypokalemia, such as Graves' disease.

Objective To determine the predictive factors for lateral lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Methods From January 2002 to December 2009,77 patients with PTMC were treated by modified radical neck dissection. We analyzed the association between lateral LNM and clinical factors, US features, hematological parameters and pathologic features of PTMC. Results The rate of lateral LNM was 39% in 77 PTMCs (30/77). We found a statistically significant association between lateral LNM and age, pathologic features ( extrathyroid invasion and central LNM), higher platelet counts and US features of PTMC (upper pole location,contacting area of the tumor with the capsule of throid gland > 25% of the perimeter of the tumor) in univariate analysis (statistic values were 2.425,6. 392,12. 584,2. 143,8.755 and 6.89,respectively,Ps< 0.05). Age,pathologic features (central LNM) and US features of PTMC (upper pole location) were found to be independent predictive factors for lateral LNM in multivariate analysis ( OR and 95%C/ was 0.942(0.889 -0.998) ,4. 396( 1. 241 - 15. 573) and 4.436( 1. 194 - 16. 482) ,P was 0. 042, 0.022 and 0.026,respectively). Conclusion In patients with PTMC,independent factors in predicting lateral LNM were age, US features of PTMC ( upper pole location) and pathologic features (central LNM ). These patients should receive relatively aggressive initial treatments and vigilant follow-up.
