1.Clinical update of biotherapy for renal cell carcinoma
Cancer Research and Clinic 2006;0(11):-
Biotherapy is an effective treatment strategy for advanced renal cell carcinoma. Cytokine-based biotherapy with interleukin-2 and interferon-? is the first line treatment for renal cell carcinoma, but its response rate is still low and toxicity and side effects are relatively high. Among preclinical biotherapy approaches for renal cell carcinoma, targeted therapy is a promising measure and some new drugs will be used as first line treatment for renal cell carcinoma in near future, allogeneic stem cell transplantation and vaccination are effective for selected subset of patients but are necessary to be evaluated by phase Ⅲ clinical studies, adoptive immunotherapy and gene therapy need to establish the benefit and safe by further studies.

Objectiye To improve the diagnosis and treatment of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma(CRCC). Methods The clinical dota of 25 patients of CRCC were reviewed.Thirteen were xmales and 12 were females and thirteen on the left and twelve on the right.The mean age was 51 years.Sixteen(64%)patients were asymptomatic.Gross hematuria,low back pain and discomfort and fever occurred in the other 9 patients.Laboratory investigations showed 1 patient had raised alanine aminotransferase and 1 had high erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Results B-ultrasound was mainly characterized by low echo renal mass with intact capsule and low blood flow signals.CT and MR of CRCC were typically well circumscribed,homogeneous(unenhanced CT was 70%,MR was 73%)with no necrosis and hemorrhage,homogenous enhancement(CT was 65%,MR was 67%)and mild enhanced(CT was 65%,MR was 67 %)renal mass.Twenty-two patients with tumors>4.0 cm had radical nephrectomy and three with tumors≤4.0 cm had partial nephrectomy.The average diameter of tumors was 7.6 cm.The cross-sections of the tumors were grossly homogeneous,pale or dark brown solid.Light microscopy showed that the tumors were composed of trabeculae or sheets with voluminous cells in pale or eosinophilic cytoplasm.Immunohistochemical assay was positive of CK8 and negative of Vimentin.The pathologic TNM stages were 8 with T1a,9 with T1b,6 with T2 and 2 with T3a.Twenty-three patients were followed up.After mean follow-up of 28 months,22 cases were tumor free.One patient had pulmonary metastasis 58 months after operation and had no reaction to interferon-α and chemotherapy and died. Conclusions The majority of CRCC patients are asymptomatic and usually with low-stages.There are some features in CT and MR appearance of CRCC such as well circumscribed and homogenous.Surgical treatment should follow the treatment principles of renal cell carcinoma and carries an excellent prognosis for most localized tumors but there has been no effective measures to treat metastasis disease.The interval between operation and metastasis is relatively long and the time of follow-up should be prolonged in CRCC.

Objective:To analyze the mortality of extremely preterm infants(EPIs) born at 22 +0-25 +6 weeks of gestation in Tianjin Central Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology and then compare it with data from other countries to provide evidence for better healthcare for this population. Methods:Clinical data of EPIs born at 22 +0-25 +6 gestational weeks in our center from January 2011 to December 2017 were retrospectively collected. The enrolled patients were grouped based on their gestational age, birth weight, and admission time in order to analyze the mortality in different groups. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, five sets of data regarding the mortality of EPIs born at 22 +0-25 +6 gestational weeks during the same period were retrieved from a multicenter survey involving 15 centers in China, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network (NICHD-NRN) in the United States, Canadian Neonatal Network TM, Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) and Korean Neonatal Network (KNN). The mortality rate among data from different sources was compared using Chi-square test on the condition that the definition of death was the same. Besides, the causes of neonatal death were analyzed. Results:A total of 64 EPIs were enrolled in our center. The total mortality rate was 42.2% (27/64), and were 1/1, 8/10, 50.0%(10/20) and 24.2%(8/33) in EPIs of gestational age of 22 +0-22 +6, 23 +0-23 +6, 24 +0-24 +6 and 25 +0-25 +6 weeks, 5/6, 50.0%(16/32), 25.0%(6/24) and 0/2 in those with birth weight of ≤600 g, >600-≤800 g, >800-≤1 000 g and >1 000 g, respectively. In the 27 death cases in our center, the causes of death were as follows: neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (16 cases, 59.3%), sepsis (two cases, 7.4%), necrotizing enterocolitis (three cases, 11.1%), severe intraventricular hemorrhage (three cases, 11.1%) and others (three cases, 11.1%). The mortality rate was 57.1%(12/21) before 2016(2011-2015), 45.0%(9/20) in 2016 and 26.1%(6/23) in 2017. The total mortality of EPIs in our center was higher than that in Canada [42.2% vs 26.6%(165/621), χ2=7.015, P=0.008], as well as in Australia and New Zealand [42.2% vs 28.2%(140/497), χ2=5.330, P=0.021], while there was no statistically significant difference when compared with that in South Korea [42.2% vs 42.1%(218/518), χ2<0.001, P=0.988]. Conclusions:The mortality of EPIs born at 22 +0-25 +6 gestational weeks is higher in our center when compared with that in some developed countries such as Canada and Australia. Therefore, we should pay more efforts to reduce the mortality of EPIs through quality improvement.

Objective To explore the value of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)sequence and gradient echo T2 ?weighted image (GRE-T2 ? WI)in diagnosis of acute traumatic extra-axial hemorrhage.Methods 50 patients who were diagnosed as acute traumatic extra-axial hemorrhage by plain CT underwent FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI in acute stage.The diagnosis consistency (Kappa ),detection rate of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH),epidural hemorrhage(EDH)and subdural hemorrhage(SDH)were compared.The detection rates of SAH in 8 locations among FLAIR,GRE-T2 ? WI and combination of two sequences were analyzed by Chi-square test.Results 48 patients were enrolled in the study.The diagnosis consistency of SAH between FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI was high (k =1.0).The detection rate of SAH was 100% for both FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI.Comparing with GRE-T2 ? WI and combi-nation of two sequences,FLAIR tended to misdiagnose SAH in perimesencephalic cistern (P <0.05).The diagnosis consistency of EDH between FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI was high (k =1.0).3 patients with EDH were all detected by FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI. The diagnosis consistency of SDH between FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI was high (k =0.943).The detection rate of 12 patients with SDH was 100% in FLAIR,and 1 patient with SDH was missed by GRE-T2 ? WI.Conclusion The detection rate of acute traumatic extra-axial hemorrhage is high for both FLAIR and GRE-T2 ? WI.Combination of two sequences can improve the accuracy of acute traumatic extra-axial hemorrhage in clinic.
