Objective To observe the inhibitation and radiosensitization effect of hematoporphyrin and radiotherapy on H22 liver cancer mice.Methods Mice models of liver cancer were established by subcutaneous injection of H22 cells,tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into:control group, simple radiotherapy group, small dose hematoporphyrin with radiotherapy group (combined treatment group Ⅰ), middle dose hematoporphyrin with radiotherapy group(combined treatment group Ⅱ),and high dose hematoporphyrin with radiotherapy group (combined treatment group Ⅲ).Tumor volumes,inhibition rate,sensitizing factor,the survival time of mice,pathology,apoptosis and other indicators in five groups were observed after14 days. Results Hematoporphyrin and radiotherapy can inhibit tumor growth in mice,The q values in three combined treatment groups were all above 1.0 at different time points ,and combined treatment groupⅢwas the highest.The three combined treatment groups had higher apoptosis rate than control group and simple radiotherapy group,but the difference within groups were not statistically significant. The survival time in three combined treatment groups were higher than control group,the combined treatment group Ⅱ was the longest and simple radiotherapy group was the shortest.Conclusion Hematoporphyrin has tumor inhibitition and radiation sensitizing effect on H22 liver cancer mice,and the effect was positive correlation with drug dose. Hematoporphyrin combined with radiotherapy can extend the lifespan of mice in H22 liver cancer,its sensitizing mechanism may be association with induction of H22 cell apoptosis.

Robotic catheter minimally invasive operation requires that the driver control system has the advantages of quick response, strong anti-jamming and real-time tracking of target trajectory. Since the catheter parameters of itself and movement environment and other factors continuously change, when the driver is controlled using traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID), the controller gain becomes fixed once the PID parameters are set. It can not change with the change of the parameters of the object and environmental disturbance so that its change affects the position tracking accuracy, and may bring a large overshoot endangering patients' vessel. Therefore, this paper adopts fuzzy PID control method to adjust PID gain parameters in the tracking process in order to improve the system anti-interference ability, dynamic performance and tracking accuracy. The simulation results showed that the fuzzy PID control method had a fast tracking performance and a strong robustness. Compared with those of traditional PID control, the feasibility and practicability of fuzzy PID control are verified in a robotic catheter minimally invasive operation.

Objective: To explore the clinical presentation and therapy of primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (PCALCL). Methods:We reviewed and analyzed six cases of PCALCL who were treated at our hospital from January 2009 to Decem-ber 2012. Results:The subjects were three males and three females with a median age of 54 years old (range:38 years to 60 years). Three patients had a single subcutaneous nodule and three had multiple nodules. The subcutaneous lesions appeared red, solid, and sta-ble nodules. Some patients developed pruritus around the lesions, or developed more nodules, which coalesced with other nodules. Some of the lesions exhibited partial spontaneous regression and new nodules appeared at the same site or at different sites. Finally, the lesions changed color from red to brown. The surfaces of some lesions developed ulcerations. Only 1 case had superficial lymph node metastasis. Three cases with single lesions received surgical excision plus radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or radiochemotherapy;all three cases survived and achieved complete remission. The three cases with multiple lesions mainly received systemic chemotherapy, with two of the cases recurring and one surviving with complete remission. The median follow-up was 24 months (range: 11 months to 35 months), with a progression free survival of 66.7%and an overall survival of 100%. Conclusion:Surgical excision or radiotherapy provides satisfactory control in patients with single lesions. Chemotherapy may be prescribed to patients with multiple lesions or with extracutaneous metastasis.

Objective To investigate the characteristic of movement disorders,so as to improve their diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clini?cal data of patients with movement disorders that admitted in the dystonia and Botox outpatient department were analyzed. Results Cases of involun?tary movement were significantly more than the primary dystonia,and case of primary hemifacial spasm was dominant(163 cases,61.05%). Among the 66 cases of primary dystonia,blepharospasm was ranked the first(19 cases),the second was spasmodic torticollis(18 cases),and the third was Meige syndrome(12 cases).There was no statistical significance in the gender distribution among primary hemifacial spasm,blepharospasm,spas?modic torticollis and Meige syndrome. Instead,there was statistical significance in the treatment methods(P<0.05),and there was statistical signifi?cance in the mean treatment and onset age(P<0.05). Of the 163 cases with primary hemifacial spasm,the mean onset age was 44.22±12.22 years, and the ratio of men to women was 1∶2.4. There were statistical significances in the mean onset age and duration among the patients with different severity degrees(all P<0.05). Conclusion Primary hemifacial spasm,blepharospasm,spasmodic torticollis and Meige syndrome are the com?mon disease in outpatient department. The primary hemifacial spasm is dominant,women are more than men,and the onset age and/or duration are proportional to the severity degree.

Objective To elucidate cerebral cortical response to esophageal acid exposure in normal individuals by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the characteristics of activity. Methods Fifteen volunteers were received intraesophageal perfusion with either 0.9% of sodium chloride or acid (0.1 mmol/L HC1) solutions. The modified block-design model of fMRI scanning was performed simultaneously. All of 32 minutes were needed for resting (A, 8 minutes), 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion (B,8 minutes), acid perfusion (C,8 minutes) and 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion again (D,8 minutes). Each chunk was consisted of 160 scans and every scan contained 3 seconds. Six hundred and forty scans were collected in all. The clinical response to esophageal acid exposure was observed and the changes in the cerebral regions was statistically analyzed. Results After perfusion of 0.9% of sodium chloride or acid, 10 out of 15 volunteers had chemosensitive complaints, such as pain in pars laryngen pharyngis, heartburn and chest complaint. The initial active domains involved deutocerebrum, anterior part of callosal gyrus, left side of insula, two sides of amygdale and subiculum hippocampi, two outers of forehead cortex. The provoked regions of acid perfusion (C-A) and 0.9% of sodium chloride perfusion again (D-A) were as same as that of the activated domains by initial perfusion of 0.9% sodium chloride (B-A). The intensity and amplitude of most provoked regions increased gradually(D-A> B-A, P< 0.01). Conclusions The two different stimulations of saline and acid provoke similar cerebral regions that may act in the regulation of esophageal sensitivity. There are the evidences of the central mechanism of esophageal visceral hypersensitivity by acid perfusion.
