1.Chimeric antigen receptor-engineered T cells and its clinical application
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2016;25(10):629-632
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) technology is based on genetic modification technology to express T-cell expression tumor specific chimeric antigen receptor bind tumor antigen in an antigen-dependent anti-MCH way. Single chain antibody fragment (scFv) of tumor-associated antigen (TAA) combines with up-stream activating sequence of T-cell in vitro. The forming recombinant plasmid transfects the purified and large scale proliferating T-cell in vitro by transfection technique. This process starts and activates specific killing reaction of tumor. The clinical application of cell therapy shows high efficiency and good anti-tumor effect in treatment of malignant neoplasm, such as leukemia, lymphoma, melanoma, which made CAR-T become the mainstream method of cell therapy.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer. Methods From September 2000 to December 2004, 99 patients with colorectal cancer underwent laparoscopic radical resection (laparoscopic group) and 198 patients with colorectal cancer underwent open radical resection (open group) at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University. The differences in local recurrence and survival between the two groups were compared. The local recurrence of tumors and survival of patients in the two groups were calculated by the life-table method, and were compared by the Wilcoxon (Gehan) test, chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The recurrence interval and survival time of the two groups were compared by non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results The 2-and 3-year local recurrence rates in the laparoscopic group were both 3.0% and the overall local recurrence rate was 3.0% (3/99). The 2-and 3-year local recurrence rates in the open group were 2.6% and 4.0% , respectively, and the overall local recurrence rate was 3.5% (7/198), with no significant difference between the two groups (χ2 =0.002, P > 0. 05). The median survival time of patients with local recurrence was 15 months (range, 7-24 months) in the laparoscopic group and 11 months (range, 2-28 months) in the open group, with no significant difference between the groups (U = 15. 500, P >0. 05). The 1-year survival rate was 33.3% in the laparoscopic group and 42.9% in the open group. The 2-year survival rate was zero in the laparoscopic group and 42. 9% in the open group. There were no significant differences between the groups for the 1-and 2-year survival rates (χ2 =0.120, P>0.05). Conclusions The efficacy of laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer is similar to that of open surgery. Laparoscopic radical resection for colorectal cancer is safe and feasible, and does not increase the recurrence rate of cancer.

[Objective]To evaluate surgical treatment and curative effect of intercondylar humeral comminuted fractures.[Method]Twenty-one cases of intercondylar humeral comminuted fractures were collected from February 2001 to December 2005. The fractures were classified to 5 cases of C1,9 cases of C2 and 7 cases of C3 according to the AO classification.Seventeen fractures were internal fixed by open-reduction, and 4 fractures were treated by total elbow replacement. After olecranon osteotomy, capitate eminence and trochlea humerus were reducted and fixed with bone screw,while shaft of humerus and the distal end of humerus were fixed with AO double plate or Y-shaped plate in internal fixed group. Early physiotherapy were started as soon as possible. The elbow replacement group were replaced by semi-restriction elbow prosthesis and fixed with cemente following physiotherapy after 4 to 7 days.[Result]forteen of 17 cases were postoperatively followed-up in internal fixed group from 12 to 44 months, and all cases had been visited for 14 to 36 months in elbow replacement group. According to modified Cassebaum scoring system, 71.4% were good in internal fixed group and 100% in elbow replacement group.[Conclusion]It has good curative effect in intercondylar humeral comminuted fractures with olecranon osteotomy, the AO double plate or Y-shaped plate internal fixation and early physiotherapy. With severe injury of the distal end of humerus, obviously osteoporosis and older than 50 years, the total elbow arthroplasty and replacement are preferred.

The effects of Rhynchophylline (Rhy) and Isorhychophyiline (Isorhy), the alkaloids abstracted from the Chinese traditional herb Uncaria rhynchophyllia (Miq) Jackson, on the 45Ca-influx and efflux were investigated in rabbit aorta. Both Rhy and Isorhy (10 ?mol? L-1) inhibited the 45Ca-influx induced by high K+(77. 0 mmol ? L-1), but neither significant-ly influenced the 45Ca-influx and efflux induced by noradrenaline (10 ?mol ? L-1). The results suggest that these alkaloids block the Voltage-dependent calcium channel.

Objective To investigate the anatomical features, operative method and efficacy of internal fixation in the treatment of iutra-articular fractures of caleaneum via the sinus tarsi approach. Methods The pathway, branches distribution and anastomosis of perforating descending branch of peroneal artery were observed on 18 adult cadaveric lower limbs. A sinus tarsi approach was designed. From July 2001 to January 2008, 71 intra-articular calcaneal fractures in 68 patients were treated with open reduction and internal fixation via sinus tarsi approach at lateral sides of calcaneus. According to the Sanders classification, there were 26 type Ⅱ fractures, 32 type Ⅲ fractures and 13 type Ⅳ fractures. Results All patients were followed up for a mean period of 39.3 months (13-85 months), and the fractures were completely healed. There was a significant difference in the length, width and height of the calcaneus, Bohler angle and Gissane angle before and after operation (P < 0.01). According to Maryland Foot Score, the operative effect was excellent in 33 feet, good in 29 feet, fair in 6 feet and poor in 3 feet. Conclusion Open reduction and internal fixation via sinus tarsi approach is an effective method for minimally invasive treatment of intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus, with the advantages of good clinical results and causing minimal damage to soft tissues.

BACKGROUND:Recent reports only concern vertebroplasty for mild to moderate vertebral compression fractures, but seldom address vertebroplasty for severe vertebral compression fractures such as vertebral colapse. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and imaging features of percutaneous vertebroplasty for severe vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:A total of 25 patients underwent single-level vertebroplasty for vertebral compression fractures. Imaging features were then analyzed including location, pattern of compression, extent of colapse, pre- and post kyphotic angle and adjacent disc height before and after vertebroplasty. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:60% (16/25) patients involved the thoracolumbar junction. The height of colapsed vertebral body was 14%-30% of original vertebral body. The average height of colapse was 5.17 mm or 22% of original vertebral body. Kyphotic angle before vertebroplasty ranged from 0-33° (averagely 16°) with an average correction of 12° after vertebroplasty. Average disc height before vertebroplasty was 7.3 mm above and 7.7 mm below. Visual analogue scale score was significantly higher preoperatively than that postoperatively, showing significant difference in pain improvement (P< 0.015). These data suggest that percutaneous vertebroplasty is safe and effective in the treatment of single level severe vertebral compression fractures.

Objective:To investigate the effect of lncRNA HOTAIR on the radiosensitivity of glioma cells and its underlying mechanism.Methods:The negative control plasmid, HOTAIR silencing plasmid, miR-NC over expressing plasmid, miR-17-5p over expressing plasmid were transfected into U87R cells, and assigned intothe silencing control, HOTAIR silencing, miR-NC over expressing and miR-17-5 pover expressing groups. Cells in the the above groups were irradiated at a dose of 4Gy, and recorded as silencing control+ 4Gy group, HOTAIRsilencing+ 4Gy group, miR-NC over expressing+ 4Gy group and miR-17-5p over expressing+ 4Gy group. The HOTAIR silencing plasmid, miR-NC suppressing plasmid and miR-17-5p suppressing plasmid were co-transfected into U87R cells and recorded as the HOTAIR silencing+ miR-NC suppressing group and HOTAIR silencing+ miR-17-5p suppressing group. All procedures were transfected by the liposome method. The expression of miR-17-5p and HOTAIR was detected by qRT-PCR. The radio sensitivity of glioma cells was evaluated by cell clone formation assay. The cell apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. The fluorescence activity was assessed by dual luciferase reporter assay.Results:HOTAIR was highly expressed in the radiation-resistant glioma cells. Silencing HOTAIR and over-expressing miR-17-5p could increase the radiosensitivity of U87R cells and promote radiation-induced apoptosis of U87R cells. HOTAIR could target and regulate the miR-17-5p expression. Suppressing miR-17-5p reversed the effect of silencing HOTAIR on U87R cell sensitization and promoting radiation-induced U87R cell apoptosis.Conclusions:Silencing lncRNA HOTAIR yields radiation sensitization and promotes radiation-induced apoptosis in glioma cells. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of miR-17-5p.
