At present, the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage (PTCD) and the self-expandable metal stent implantation are commonly recognized as an effective treatment for inoperable malignant biliary obstruction, but the restenosis of biliary stent significantly affect the therapeutic result and prognosis.Percutaneous transhepatic intraductal radiofrequency ablation can be used together with biliary stent implantation, which can prolong the patency time of biliary stent and control the local tumor at the narrowed segment, thus, the therapeutic effect of malignant biliary obstruction can be reliably improved. As a kind of newly-developed therapy, its clinical safety is especially important. This paper aims to make a review about the safety of percutaneous transhepatic intraductal radiofrequency ablation combined with biliary stent implantation in treating malignant biliary obstruction.

The key to performing spreading moxibustion on the Du meridian and the characteristics of its application are investigated. Summer is the time suitable for spreading moxibustion on Du meridian. The performance on Du meridian points has special requirements for every procedure: selecting moxibustion materials, spreading medication, igniting moxa and cleaning moxibustion sores. There are five large characteristics in the clinical application. The first is accumulating heat and focusing on warm-unblocking; the second is regulating both the whole body and local parts; the third is timing the treatment and making adaptations;the fourth is selecting high-quality materials and guarantee the performance;the fifth is focusing on health maintenance and strengthening nursing. Spreading moxibustion on the Du meridian has a wide area of performance, large moxa cones, a long time, sufficient fire power, strong warm-unblocking force, quick and convenient treatment and a remarkable effect. Mastering the key to the performance and the characteristics of the clinical application can further rich acupuncture and moxibustion treatments and give full play to the role of old and traditional moxibustion.

Objective To evaluate the incidence of benign gallbladder disease and the relationship between the hyperlipidemia and gallbladder stone in Hefei district by a survey in 6?946 persons. Methods All benign gallbladder diseases were discovered by Colour Dopple ulterasound. The data of lipidemia were analyzed and a comparative study of 1?051 cases suffering from gallbladder stone with the control group was done. Results The morbidity of benign gallbladder diseases was 21 55%. The prevalence of gallbladder stone, gallbladder polypoid lesion, cholecystitis, intrahepatic cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis were 15 13%, 3 39%, 1 35%, 0 96%, 0 70% respectively in all examined. The morbidity of gallbladder stone was 70 2% in the benign gallbladder diseases. The incidence of hyperlipidemia both in gallbladder stone group and control group were 56 9% and 32 3% ( P

Objective To discuss the related factors of the malignant tumor complicated with venous throm-boembolism(VTE),which may provide the clinical evidence for prevention,diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Methods Retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of patients with malignant tumor who were diagnosed with VTE from June 2012 to June 2015 in our hospital.Results Among 74 cases with tumor merger VTE,female with thrombosis was higher than the male.67.57% of the tumor with VTE patients was 45 -80 years old.Lung cancer patient with VTE was the highest almost 36.49%.Patients with deep vein catheterization,a history of surgery or merging of hyper-tension were easy occurred VTE,those were 14 cases (18.92%),12 cases (16.22%)and 11 cases (14.86%) respectively.57 VTE patients underwent radiotherapy or chemotherapy treatment.The platelet count,D -dimer, fibrinogen and CRP were associated with thrombosis.Among 74 cases with VTE,67 cases (90.54%)accepted anticoagulation therapy.Conclusion Sex,tumor disease,chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment,medical history and coagluative function index were associated with VTE.Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to reduce mortality and improve prognosis of malignant tumor with VTE.

Objective To use HSV 1 tk (herpes simplex virus type Ⅰthymidine kinase)/GCV (ganciclovir) in androgen independent prostate cancer cells(C4 2,PC3) in vitro in order to provide useful basis for clinical use. Methods HSV 1 tk gene was ligated to a pN 2A retroviral vector. Recombinant DNA molecules being introduced into a packaging cell line PA317,the high titer virus producer cells (VPC) were screened.The integration and expression of HSV 1 tk gene in VPC was observed by PCR and RT PCR. VPC was co cultured with these cancer cells in the light of 1∶1,1∶2,1∶4,1∶8.Cell viability (cytotoxicity) was assessed by SRB (sulforhodamine B protein dye binding)after the first day,the third day,the fifth and the seventh day. Results The highest titer VPC producing HSV 1 tk gene was isolated. Retrovirus mediated HSV 1 tk gene therapy was effective and active against such prostate cancer cells.The best one was co culture of VPC and cancer cells at 1∶1 and the fifth day followed by GCV. Compared with C4 2, PC3 decreased remarkably.The activation of apoptosis and other ways failed to be found. Conclusions Retrovirus mediated HSV 1 tk gene therapy in Vitro directly killed the tumor cells by cytolytic activity.

Objective To explore ways for expanding the now-limited coagulation volume of percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy(PMCT) in liver in order to enhance the complete necrosis rate of large hepatic tumors with obviously fewer punctures. Methods Fresh pig livers in vitro and rabbit, pig livers in vivo with and without blood supply were coagulated using the self-designed HM-WIA microwave coagulator to make clear antenna length, microwave power, coagulation time and blood flow influence the microwave volume(MCV).Results The device enlarged the MCV by 3 times using single electrode with an antenna of 36 mm in length along with microwave power of 45-55 W and coagulation time of 15-19 min,the short axis of the coagulation area was 5.6 cm in vitro, 5.3 cm in vivo with no blood supply.The antenna 36 mm in length was proved the best in keeping the finest coagulation shape.The MCV was 2.8 times as large without blood supply as with it (P

Objective To monitor the changes of T lymphocyte subsets during chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Furthermore,to analyze the relationship between chemotherapy curative effect and the T lymphocyte subsets.Methods 42 cases with NSCLC were selected as the subjects,and 28 people undergoing health examination were selected as control group.All NSCLC patients just received NSCLC standard chemotherapy,then respectively determined T lymphocyte subsets at pre-chemotherapy and after 2,4 courses of chemotherapy.Every two cycles of chemotherapy we would evaluate the effect of chemotherapy.Results Before chemotherapy,the patients′ CD+3(t=3.222,P<0.01),CD+4 (t=9.655,P<0.01),CD+4/CD+8 (t=10.657,P<0.01) and NK lymphocytes (t=5.310,P<0.01) were significantly decreased than those of the control group,and CD+8 lymphocytes (t=7.926,P<0.01) increased significantly.There were no significant differences in patients' gender,age,but Ⅰ-Ⅱ period patients′ CD+4(t=2.097,P<0.05),CD+4/CD+8(t=2.045,P<0.05) immune function were better than Ⅲ-Ⅳ period patients.In patients with adenocarcinoma,CD+8(t=2.015,P<0.05),CD+4/CD+8(t=2.315,P<0.05) immune function were better than squamous carcinoma.The patients received chemotherapy after 2,4 courses,the T lymphocyte subgroup was comprehensively improved (P<0.01).The curative effect of chemotherapy was positively correlated with T lymphocyte function,PR>SD>PD.Conclusion Chemotherapy can improve the NSCLC patients′ T lymphocyte subgroup,and improve the situation related to the curative effect of chemotherapy.

Objective To investigate the level of serum homocysteine(Hcy)in common chronic diseases(diabetes,hypertension, hyperlipidemia,coronary heart disease)and its clinical application value in the community elderly residents.Methods A retrospec-tive study was conducted on the common chronic disease of 1 605 patients who detected Hcy in our center from January 2015 to Oc-tober 2015.Another 117 healthy subjects served as normal control group.Hcy was detected by cyclic enzymatic method.Results The average level of Hcy in serum of patients with diabetes,hypertension,coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia was higher than that in the health examination group,and the level of Hcy was positively correlated with age(P <0.05).Conclusion The high level of serum Hcy is an important risk factor in common chronic diseases in the community elderly residents,and it should strengthen the examination of Hcy and active intervention to slow down the development of the disease.
