Journal of International Oncology 2017;44(2):95-98
Objective To evaluate the effect and the incidence of adverse reaction of different chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) complicated with type 2 diabetes.Methods A total of 123 midterm advanced NSCLC patients complicated with type 2 diabetes were randomly divided into A,B,C three groups through the random number generated by computer,and each group was 41 cases.Three groups of patients were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and synchronous chemotherapy.Group A received gemcitabine and cisplatin,group B received paclitaxel and cisplatin,and group C received pemetrexed and cisplatin.The treatment efficiency,time to tumor progression,median survival time,survival rate and incidence of adverse reaction were observed and compared.Results The total effective rates of group A,B and C were 82.93%,78.05% and 80.49%,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =0.365,P =0.357).The times to tumor progression of the three groups were (6.54 ± 1.23) months,(5.96 ± 1.27) months,(6.27 ± 1.08) months,with no statistically significant difference (F=1.235,P =0.314);the median survival times of the three groups were (16.54 ± 1.87) months,(15.36 ± 1.25) months,(16.29 ± 2.08) months respectively,with no statistically significant difference (F =2.226,P =0.245);1-year survival rates of the three groups were 80.49%,82.93%,85.37% respectively,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =1.234,P =0.665);2-year survival rates were 48.78%,51.22%,43.90%,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =2.354,P =0.451).The incidence rates of radioactive pneumonia and bone marrow suppression in group C were 24.39% and 24.39%,those were significantlylower than31.71%,53.66% of group B (x2 =18.687 P=0.017;x2 =25.336,P=0.011) and 41.46%,31.71% of group A (x2 =17.543,P=0.019;x2 =24.358,P =0.013).Conclusion The clinical efficacy of the three groups are similar,but the incidence rate of adverse reaction in pemetrexed and cisplatin plus radiotherapy group is the lowest.Therefore,pemetrexed plus cisplatin is the safe and effective treatment for the previously untreated patients with NSCLC.

Objectives To assess the clinical value of ultrasonography (US) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in analyzing abdominal fat contents of obese children and adolescents through comparison with MRI. A correlation with other obese related metabolic parameters was conducted. Methods Ninety 7-17-y-old obese children and adolescents (60 boys and 30 girls with mean age of 9.6 ± 2.9 y and mean BMI of 24.5 ± 4.5 kg/m2) were recruited. Metabolic parameters were measured, and insulin resistance was estimated according to homeostasis model assess-ment (HOMA-IR). On the same day abdomen subcutaneous fat thickness (SFTUS) was measured by US. Body fat mass (FMBIA) and abdominal visceral fat area (VFABIA) were analyzed by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). After obtaining informed consent, abdominal MRI was performed in 20 subjects. Each section of umbilicus level was analyzed by image threshold value segmentation using SigmaScan Pro 5 and abdominal subcutaneous fat area (SFAMRI) and visceral fat area (VFAMRI) were calculated. Results (1) A strong positive association was found between SFTUS and SFAMRI (P< 0.05), VFABIA and VFAMRI (P < 0.01) respectively. (2) FMBIA and SFAMRI, VFAMRI, SFTUS also showed significant correlations (P < 0.05). (3) VFAMRI showed extremely significant positive correlations with TG, Insulin,C-peptide and HOMA-IR (P < 0.01 ) ; SFAMRI was also correlated positively with them (P < 0.05). (4) SFTUS was correlated positively with UA (uric acid), Insulin, 2HIns (insulin measured at 2 hours after meal), C-peptide,2HC-peptide (C-peptide measured at 2 hours after meal) and HOMA-IR (P < 0.01). (5) VFABIA was correlated significant positively with UA, insulin, TG, 2HIns and HOMA-IR. FMBIA showed positive correlation with UA, Insulin,2HIns, C-peptide, 2HC-peptide and HOMA-IR. Conclusions abdominal subcutaneous and visceral fat of obese children and adolescents evaluated by US and BIA are correlated well with those assessed by MRI, and also correlated well with TG, insulin, C-peptide and other metabolic biochemical parameters. Our data support the value of using cost effective, simple and convenient methods such as BIA and US to evaluate the obese and related metabolic risk of children and adolescents in clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods for nasal septum malignancies. Methods:A retrospective study of seven cases of primary nasal septum malignancy was conducted. These cases were treated at the Tianjin First Central Hospital between February 1993 and October 2009. Results:Among the seven cases, one was reported malignant lymphoma, which underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy;the other six malignant tumors included three cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma, one malignant melanoma, one chondrosarcoma, and one papilloma. Patients were treated by nasal endoscopy, external approach, lip midline incision, overturned facial surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. During follow-up, which lasted for 2 years to 16 years from time of surgery, two fatalities resulting from recurrence or metastasis were recorded. One of these fatalities occurred after 2 years, and the other was recorded at 3 years and 4 months after surgery. Four patients survived without recurrence. Conclusion:The key treatment for nasal septum malignancies was one-time radical resection. Combined postoperative treatment and follow-up should be conducted.

BACKGROUND:To construct tissue engineering cartilage would open up a novel way for the repair of cartilage damage in avoidance of the disadvantages of traditional therapeutic method.OBJECTIVE: To probe the techniques for the isolation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from bone marrow, as well as the in vitro differentiation into chondrocytic phenotype in a specific culture fluid.DESIGN:A complete randomized experimentSETTING:The Department of Traumatic Orthopedics and Hand Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, and Teaching and Research Faculty of Histology and Embryology of Guangxi Medical University.METHODS: The experiment was carried out at Guangxi Medical University between August 2002 and April 2003. Twenty SD neonatal weaning rats were selected. Bone marrow was aspirated from the bones of rat limbs and was isolated by gradient centrifugation in Percoll, and MSCs could be obtained in combination with adherent screening method, which were then cultured in DMEM-LG with 15% fatal bovine serum (FBS) in the incubator of 37℃ with 5% CO2 for 10-14 days. The passage cells were induced in DMEM-HG with 15% FBS (containing TGF-β1 10 μg/L, 10-7 mol/L dexamethasone, 50 mg/L VitC).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES :The morphology, growth, as well as proliferation and specific expression of chondrogenic matrix of in vitro cultured MSCs due to specific induction.RESULTS: Totally 20 SD rats were observed and analyzed with no loss SCs grew in visible symmetric colonies, displaying a long-spindle shape,and the morphological characteristics of marrow-derived MSCs had no obvious changes during passage-culture, but its proliferation time was found from a shuttle fibroblastic appearance to polygonal shape, displaying posiHC staining of type Ⅱ collagen of cartilage specific matrix.bronectin adherent screening technique is a convenient, effective and practical method to separate and collect MSCs from rat bone marrows in chondrogenic phenotype when induced by a specific medium and can secrete cartilage specific matrix, and they can be the optimal seed cells for cartilage tissue engineering.
