Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of 192Ir three-dimensional brachytherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with unresectable advanced obstructive extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Methods:A retrospective analysis of the efficacy and safety of 18 patients with unresectable advanced malignant obstructive extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma admitted to the Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in Hebei province from January 2014 to January 2018.All patients were pathologically confirmed and received biliary stent implantation, followed by sequential intensity-modulated radiotherapy and 192Ir three-dimensional brachytherapy.The clinical data of all patients were collected, including gender, age, clinical stage, adverse reactions, brachytherapy dose-volume parameters, changes in bilirubin levels before and after treatment, evaluation of efficacy, local control rate and survival rate. Results:All patients successfully completed the treatment.Re-examination was conducted one month after the combined treatment, of the 18 patients, 16 had partial remission (PR) and 2 were stable(SD). Among them, 14 patients had tumor shrinkage after brachytherapy compared with intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and 4 patients showed no significant change.The 6-month local control rate (LC) was 94.4% (17/18). The 1-year survival rate was 55.6% (10/18), and the 2-year survival rate was 38.9% (7/18). Statistical analysis showed that after combined treatment, total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were significantly reduced, and jaundice symptoms were significantly relieved.The adverse reactions of the patient were nausea, vomiting, fever, biliary tract infection, etc.There were no adverse reactions of grade 3 or above.Conclusions:192Ir three-dimensional brachytherapy combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy in patients with inoperable advanced extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma has a good local control rate and tolerable adverse reactions, but the impact on long-term survival requires a large sample of controlled studies.

Objective: To observe the difference of the effect of low-frequency electroacupuncture (EA) on blood lipids between male and female patients with simple obesity due to damp induced by spleen deficiency. Methods: Eighty patients with simple obesity were recruited, including 37 males and 43 females, to receive low-frequency EA by selecting Yinlingquan (SP 10), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40), Quchi (LI 11), Tianshu (ST 25), Zhongwan (CV 12), Shuifen (CV 9), Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4), with needles retained for 30 min. The treatment was given once a day, 10 sessions as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. The contents of body fat percentage (F%), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), blood glucose (Glu) and adiponectin (ADPN) in serum were observed to see the changes, and the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results: After the treatment, F%, and serum contents of TC, TG, LDL, Glu and ADPN dropped significantly in the two groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and the serum content of HDL increased significantly in male group (P<0.05). The decrease of F% in female group was more significant than that in male group (P<0.01); the decrease of ADPN in male group was more significant than that in female group (P<0.05). Conclusion: EA can regulate the disordered blood lipids in male and female patients with simple obesity, with certain differences between genders. The decrease of subcutaneous fat content is more significant in females than that in males, while the decrease of ADPN is more significant in males.

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the biochemical and virological characteristics among patients infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) according to pathologic inflammation grade.Methods 428 patients with chronic HBV infection accept liver biopsy,liver function test,HBeAg detection and HBV DNA levels detection.They were studied and subdivided into four groups according to pathologic inflammation grade.The biochemical and virological characteristics were studied.Univariate analysis was performed with the SPSS 16.0.Results In different inflammation grading group,mean age and sex composition were no difference.Serum levels of ALT was highest in group G3 and lowet in group G0-1,there was statistically significant among groups (P =0.005) ;AST and TBil were all highest in group G4 and lowest in group G0-1,statistically significant also found among groups (P =0.000&0.004).Serum levels of ALB and PTA were all highest in group G0-1 and lowest in group G4,had statistically significant among groups (P =0.000&0.000).There was no difference of HBV DNA level and percentage of HBeAg (+) among four groups (P =0.565&0.065).Conclusions The serum AST,TBil,ALB and PTA were different and can partly reflect the inflammation degree of liver damage in patients with HBV infection.ALT and PTA can reflect the inflammation degree of G0-1,G2 and G3 ;AST,TBil,ALB and PTA reflect the G3 and G4.HBV DNA level and HBeAg status can not indicate the inflammation degree in HBV infection patients.
7.Synthesis and anticancer activity of norcantharidin-galactose derivatives.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2008;43(2):157-161
To design and synthesize the hepatic targeting anticancer prodrug with norcantharidin (NCTD-Gal) conjugating structure, galactosylated NCTD derivatives were synthesized from NCTD analogues modified by a series of amino acids via acylation, hydrolysis, glycosylation and deacetylation. Seven new compounds were synthesized as beta-O-glycosides and characterized by IR, MS, NMR and element analysis. The compound 4a was chosen for the inchoate antitumor experiments on mice. The result showed that the antitumor inhibition rate of 4a groups with medium and high dose are clearly higher than that of NCTD group, which suggests that anticancer effect of NCTD is improved at a certain degree by galactosylation.

Objective To investigate the functional changes of dendritic cells (DC) in elderly patients with sepsis. Method Elderly patients (n = 20), ages 75 to 86 years, treated in the department of internal medicine for cadres and the medical intensive care unit (MICU), were selected to participate in the study. Patients with ma-ligoant tumors, hematological diseases, immune diseases, or a history of receiving drugs known to interfere with immune functions were excluded. Using the American College of Chest Physicians/Society of Critical Care Medicine (ACCP/SCCM) definition of sepsis, the patients were categorized into four groups: non-sepsis (group A) (n = 5) ; sepsis (group B) (n = 5) ; severe sepsis (group C) (n = 5) ; and septic shock (group D) (n = 5). The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of each patient were isolated and cultured with human re-combinant granuloceyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in vitro for 10 days. The cells were examined under an inverted microscope, scanning electron microscopy, and flow cytometry. The MTT colorimetric assay was used to observe the abilities of the dendritic cells to stimulale an allogeneic T lym-phocyte response in vitro. Paired t -test was used to compare changes in the surface markers among the different groups, Results The PBMCs in the four groups of patients differentiated into cells with typical dendritic configura-tions after in vitro cuhure with combined cytokines. The CD40, CD80, CD86, and HLA-DR expressions on the cell surfaces increased after culture,with (43.2±12.5)%/(27.3±9.3)%, (31.4 ± 10.1)%/(22.5 ± 8.7)%, (39.3±15.7)%/(21.9±7.7)%, and (75.4±25.6)%/(58.7±16.7)%, respectively. The stimulation index (the abilities of the dendritic cells to stimulale the allogeneic T lymphocyte response in vitro) in the four groups of patients after culture were (23.3±7.9) in group A, (18.9±8.3) in group B,(11.4±5.1) in Group C,and (5.5 ± 3.7) in Group D. Conclusions The immune functions of the dendritic cells of elderly patients with sepsis decrease in a linear manner with the severity of their septic state.

Objective To investigate the long-term outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in different stages treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and explore their treatment strategies.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 868 NPC patients without distant metastasis who received radical IMRT from May 2001 to October 2008.These patients were divided into early N0 (T1-2N0) group (n =137),early N1 (T1-2N1) group (n =129),locally advanced (T3-4N0-1) group (n =322),regionally advanced (T1-2 N2-3) group (n=107),and locoregionally advanced (T3-4 N2-3) group (n =173).There groups were compared in terms of treatment outcome and treatment strategy.Results The follow-up rate was 91.4%,and 314 patients completed 5-years follow-up.The 5-year overall survival rate,local recurrence-free rate,and distant metastasis-free rate (DMFR) were 83.5%,91.8%,and 84.6%,respectively.The early N0 group had the best treatment outcome,with a 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rate up to 99.1%.Each group had a similar outcome after receiving either IMRT alone or IMRT combined with chemotherapy.The locally advanced group and regionally advanced group had similar failure patterns and treatment outcomes.The locoregionally advanced group had the worst treatment outcome,with a 5-year DMFR of 67.2% and a DSS of 68.0%.The regionally advanced group and locoregionally advanced group had a similar treatment outcome after receiving IMRT alone,induction chemotherapy plus IMRT,or concurrent chemotherapy and IMRT.Conclusions Patients with NPC in different stages have different survival outcomes.It is recommended that different treatment strategies should be adopted according to the T and N stages of NPC.IMRT alone can produce satisfactory results in patients with T1-2N0 NPC,but a more effective medication should be added to IMRT in patients with advanced NPC,particularly those with T3-4N2-3 NPC who have a relatively low DMFR.

Objective To investigate the effect of arterial and venous subarachnoid hemorrhage ( SAH)on voltage-dependent calcium channel( VDCC)currents of cerebral artery smooth muscle cells and the relationship between the concentration of oxyhemoglobin( OxyHb)in arterial and venous blood and cerebral blood flow. Methods Thirty-six clean grade rats were colleted. A rat SAH model was induced by injection of autologous arterial or venous blood in suprasellar cistern using assisted stereotaxic apparatus. The rats were divided into three groups:an arterial SAH( n=14 ),a venous SAH( n=13 ),and a sham operation( n=9 )group. The arterial and venous OxyHb concentrations were measured. Three days after SAH modeling,a patch clamp was used to detect the relative surface area of the cerebral artery smooth muscle cells,resting potential,and VDCC currents in rats. A fluorescent microsphere method was used to quantitatively analyze cerebral blood flow(CBF). Results (1)Arterial SAH OxyHb concentration (127 ± 4 g/L)was significantly higher than venous SAH OxyHb concentration(54 ± 6 g/L),and that of the sham operation group was 50 ± 5 g/L. The differences were statistically significant among the 3 groups( P<0. 01).(2)The maximum current of VDCC of the arterial SAH group(3. 22 ± 0. 31 pA)was significantly higher than that of the venous SAH group(2. 19 ± 0. 27 pA)and the sham operation group(2. 18 ± 0. 29 pA). The differences were statistically significant among the 3 groups( P<0. 01 ). The VDCC currents of the arterial SAH group were consisted of L- and R-currents,while the currents of the venous SAH group were only consisted of L-VDCC.(3)The cerebral blood flow of the arterial SAH group(0. 83 ± 0. 14 mL/[g·min])was significantly higher than that of the venous SAH group(1. 28 ± 0. 28 mL/[g·min])and the sham operation group(1. 35 ± 0. 19 mL/[g·min]). The differences were statistically significant(P<0. 01). Conclusions The changing effect of arterial SAH on the expression and function of the cerebral artery smooth muscle cells are greater than that of the venous SAH. This difference may be associated with the concentration and composition of vasospasm factors of OxyHb in arterial and venous blood.
