1.Application and progress of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of pediatric tumors
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(8):793-797
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), featuring as no ionizing radiation, higher soft tissue resolution and multiplanar imaging, has been widely used in the diagnosis of pediatric tumors. Conventional MRI techniques mainly provide information on morphological information of tumors but cannot display physiological and pathological changes in tumors. In recent years, with rapid development of MRI hardware and software, some functional MRI technologies have been applied in clinical practice and have become an important trend on pediatric oncology. These techniques include perfusion-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, susceptibility weighted imaging. These new technologies can demonstrate the microstructural information of tumors, which will provide more helpful information for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up in pediatric tumors when combined with conventional MRI techniques.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with autologous DC-CIK cells in treating hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) of BCLC C-stage. Methods A total of 60 cases with HCC in BCLC C-stage were randomly and equally divided into the study group (n=30) and the control group (n=30). TACE combined with autologous DC-CIK cells was employed in the patients of the study group, while only TACE was adopted in the patients of the control group. The immune function, six-month and one-year survival rates were determined, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results In the study group, the blood T lymphocyte subsets of CD3+CD8+ were significantly increased, while CD3+CD4+ were obviously decreased. When compared with the pretreatment levels, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The six-month survival rate of the study group and the control group was 67.9% and 48.1% respectively (P<0.05), and the one-year survival rate of the study group and the control group was 53.6%and 29.6%respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion For the treatment of HCC in BCLC C-stage, the therapeutic effect of TACE combined with autologous DC-CIK cells is much better than that of pure TACE. Therefore, this therapy is an effective treatment for HCC in BCLC C-stage.
