Objective To investigate the clinical effect of cisplatin and nedaplatin through comparing the effects of synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cisplatin and nedaplatin on patients with locally advanced cervical cancers.Methods Clinical data of 54 cases of patients with locally advanced cervical cancers received treatment at our hospital from 2009 to 2011 were analyzed retrospectively.Patients were divided into two groups according to the treatment:group DDP (cisplatin) and group NDP (nedaplatin).The general information,short-term effect,long-term curative effect,and adverse reactions were compared between two groups.Results The general information including gender,age,body mass index (BMI),stages,and pathology had no statistically significant difference between two groups.The response rate (RR)of patients in each group was 100％.The complete remission (CR) rate between groups NDP and DDP had no statistically significant difference.Among the patients ≤60 years old,the CR rate,the survival rate of 1,2,and 3 years,and the median progression-free survival (PFS) had no statistically significant difference.Among the patients ＞ 60 years old,the survival rate of 1,2,and 3 years,and the median PFS had no statistically significant difference,but the CR rate had statistically significant difference.In the non-hematological toxicity,the incidence rate of nausea and vomiting,the effect on renal function in group NDP were obviously lower than those in group DDP.There was no significant difference in liver function damage.In the hematological toxicity,there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of anemia and leukopenia.The incidence rate of decrease of platelet in group NDP was higher than that in group DDP,but it was mainly reflected in the Ⅰ and the Ⅱ level.Conclusions Cisplatin had the same efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with nedaplatin for the treatment of locally advanced cervical carcinoma with a worse tolerance.

BACKGROUND: Low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (LF-PEMFs) have been confirmed to not only treat delayed bone union or nonunion, but also be effective for fresh bone fractures, ostectomy and fatigue fractures.OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of LF-PEMFs for bone healing.METHODS: CNKI and PubMed databases were retrieved for the randomized controlled trials concerning LF-PEMFs promoting bone healing published from January 1985 to May 2016. Meta-analysis was conducted on RevMan 5.1 software after data management and quality assessment.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Thirteen eligible literatures were enrolled, involving 1244 patients. Meta-analysis showed that the overall effectiveness and bone mineral density in the LF-PEMFs group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The healing time in the LF-PEMFs group was significantly shorter than that in the control group. These results suggest that LF-PEMFs show high efficacy and safety for bone healing, and also can markedly shorten the healing time. However, more high-quality multi-center, large-scale randomized controlled trials are still needed to testify all above conclusions.

In order to improve the transduction efficiency of insect baculovirus in mammalian cells, we constructed two recombinant baculoviruses, AcRed-tat and AcRed. Both viruses expressed red fluorescence protein gene (dsRed) as a reporter in mammalian cell lines. AcRed-tat also contained the coding sequence of HIV-1 Tat transduction peptide fused with viral major capsid protein gene vp39 and enhanced green fluorescence gene (egfp) driven by virus polyhedrin promoter. It expressed the Tat fusion protein in infected insect cells, which was incorporated into the nucleocapsids of progeny virus. As a control, AcRed had the fusion gene of vp39 and egfp driven by polyhedrin promoter. Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that although similar level of red fluorescence was produced in HEK23 cells transduced by the two recombinant viruses, significantly higher red fluorescence level was seen in CHO and Vero cells transduced by AcRed-tat than that by AcRed. These results suggested that Tat transduction peptide might improve the baculovirus-mediated gene expression in some mammalian cells. Our work provided a new approach to improve baculovirus as a gene delivery vector for mammalian cells.

To understand the possibility of schistosomiasis transmission on the East Route Project of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, a survey of endemic status of schistosomiasis in Weishan Lake area was conducted. A cluster sampling of 2086 boatmen were screened with DDIA Kit, and the positive ones were examined with Kato-Katz technique. Meanwhile, a questionnaire survey about schistosomiasis control was carried out to collect the data about the boatmen's general information and knowledge , attitude and practice (KAP). The results showed there were no schistosomiasis patients. However, there exist potential risk factors for schistosomiasis transmission because of the bad hygiene habits and the poor knowledge of schistosomiasis prevention in boatmen.

Background Macular hole retinal detachment(MHRD) causes severe decrease of vision.Pars plana vitrectomy has been applied for MHRD.Silicone oil and C3F8 have been used as intraocular tamponade materials,while there are still controversity on their efficacy.Objective This trial was to evaluate the efficacy of vitreous surgery combined with silicone oil or C3F8 tamponade for patients with MHRD in highly myopic eyes.Methods A retrospective case-controlled study was designed.Fifty-one patients who underwent vitrectomy with intraocular tamponade were retrospectively analyzed.The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) before and after surgery were examined and campared between two groups.The rate of recurrent RD and macular hole closed were analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in BCVA between silicone oil group and C3F8 tamponade group before and after surgery(U=266.000,P =0.286 ; U =205.000,P =0.029).The BCVA after surgery was elevated in both groups (Z=-2.729,P =0.006 ; Z =-3.273,P =0.001).The rates of recurrent RD and macular hole closed were no difference between two groups(P=0.894,1.000).There were no other complications but cataract.Conclusions C3F8 tamponade of MHRD in high myopic eyes show the same efficacy as silicone oil tamponade.

Objective To study the expressions of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK-1) and cytotoxic proteins in primary systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma (S-ALCL) and their relationship with clinical outcome. Methods 51 S-ALCL cases were collected from Lymphoma Lab of Peking University Health Science Centre & Peking Children's Hospital. The morphologic characteristics were studied under routine microscope, and essential immunohistochemical stainings were performed and reviewed to confirm the diagnosis of S-ALCL. Immunohistochemical stainings for ALK-1 and cytotoxic proteins (TIA-1 & granzyme B) were performed using standard SP method. Patients related clinical data including follow-up materials were collected. Results Survival time of 44 cases with completely clinical follow up materials ranged from 0.5～66months. 36 out of 51 cases(37 %) was positive for ALK-1 protein. While 20 cases out of 47 S-ALCL cases ( 42.55 % ) positive for granzyme B and 22 out of 28 cases (81.48 %) were positive for TIA-1. The prognosis of patients with ALK-1 protein positive and granzyme B negative expression was better, but TIA-1 expression might have nothing to do with clinical outcome (P＞0.05). In addition, multivariate analysis confirmed that ALK-1 protein expression, granzyme B protein expression and Ann-Arbor stage system were possible for prognosis(P＜0.05), Conclusion Expression of ALK-1 and granzyme B protein expression may serve as two independent prognostic predictors in S-ALCL patients.

OBJECTIVETo explore the correlation between the HLA-DR13, basic core promoter (BCP), changes of T lymphocyte subset and clinical Chinese medical syndromes of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

METHODSTotally 102 CHB patients were syndrome typed as Gan depression Pi deficiency syndrome (GDPDS), Pi-Shen yang deficiency syndrome (PSYDS), Gan-gallbladder dampness heat syndrome (GGDHS), Gan-Shen yin deficiency syndrome (GSYDS), and static blood blocking collaterals syndrome (SBBCS). Besides, 30 healthy subjects were recruited as the normal control group. The blood HBV-DNA level and HLA-DR13 gene were detected with real time fluorescent PCR. The expression of CD4+ and CD8+ in T lymphocytes was detected using flow cytometry. The mutation of serum A1762T/G1764A was detected using PCR sequencing. Hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg) was detected with ELISA, and correlation between various Chinese medical syndrome types and objective indicators were analyzed.

RESULTSThere was no statistical difference in HBV-DNA quantitative results among various syndrome types (P > 0.05). HBeAg positive rate was higher in GDPDS than in other syndrome types (P < 0.05). It was sequenced as GDPDS > GSYDS > SBBCS > GGDHS > PSYDS. Compared with the normal control group, percentages of CD3+ and CD3+ CD4+ were lower in PSYDS (P < 0.05). The ratio of CD3+ CD4+/CD3+ CD8 was lower in GGDHS and PSYDS than in the normal control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the CD3+ CD8+ percentage among various syndrome types (P > 0.05). The quantitation of HLA-DR13 gene was lower in GDPDS and GSYDS than in the normal control group (P < 0.05). The positive rate of BCP mutation was higher in GSYDS than in other syndrome types (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCo-detection results of HLA-DR13 and BCP could be used as reference indices of Chinese medical syndrome typing of CHB.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship of expression of mucin 1 and E-cadherin with recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma in salivary gland, and to investigate the signal to predict the recurrence potential of the tumor.

METHODS; The capsule of tumor was observed by microscope. The expression of mucin 1 and E-cadherin in 33 cases of primary adenoma, 12 cases of recurrent pleomorphic adenomas and 7 cases of malignant pleomorphic adenomas were detected by immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference about the status of capsule and the positive rate of mucin 1 expression between primary and recurrent pleomorphic adenoma (P > 0.05). The abnormal distribution of mucin 1 expression was observed in recurrent pleomorphic adenoma (6/8), which was characterized by the positive staining of the whole cytomembrane. On the other hand, positive staining of the primary pleomorphic adenoma was observed on the top of the membrane (19/21). The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The staining pattern in malignant pleomorphic adenoma was similar with the recurrent ones except higher ratio of positive expression. No significant different was observed among the three kind of tumors on the expression rate of E-cadherin (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe status of capsule didn't have much actual usage in predicting the recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma. There was no significant relationship between the expression of E-cd and the recurrence of the tumor. The abnormal distribution of mucin 1 expression contributes to the invasiveness of the tumor and can be used as the predictive signal for recurrence of pleomorphic adenoma.
