Journal of International Oncology 2015;42(2):88-90
Objective To investigate the changes of immunologic functions and life qualities after the auto-cytokine induced killer (CIK) cells combined with interleukin-2 (IL-2) being transfused back to the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Thirty-eight NSCLC patients were enrolled,and 19 patients received not only chemotherapy and radiotherapy but also adoptive immunotherapy with CIK cells combined with IL-2 compared with the other 19 patients who only accepted radiotherapy and chemotherapy.The changes of immunologic functions and life qualities after the CIK cells combined with IL-2 being transfused back to the patients with NSCLC were observed.Immune targets of the treatment group and control group,such as peripheral blood CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 + T cell percentage,ratio of CD4 +/CD8 + and Th1/Th2,were observed at the end and after 3 month of the radiation and chemotherapy.Results Both of the two groups were neither having obvious adverse reactions.After CIK cells combined with IL-2 treatment,the life qualities of patients improved,such as 18 cases of mental improvement,15 cases of appetite improvement,12 cases of sleep improvement,and 3 cases of fatigue symptoms improvement.The percentage of CD3 +,CD4 + cells in the treatment group increased [(66.39 ± 9.22) % vs (42.98 ± 7.23) %,t =5.45,P =0.00 ; (32.27 ± 3.75) % vs (26.38 ±2.51)%,t =5.73,P =0.00],the percentage of CD8 + cells declined [(17.51 ± 1.85)% vs (20.90 ± 2.31) %,t =5.21,P =0.00],the rate of CD4 +/CD8 + increased and the rate of Th1/Th2 obversed [(1.86±0.32) vs (1.27±0.19),t=7.13,P=0.00;(1.15±0.48) vs (0.91 ±0.30),t=2.42,P=0.02].There were significant differences between the two groups.Conclusion Adoptive immunotherapy with CIK cells combined with IL-2 is safe in clinical,which can improve the immunologic functions and life qualities of the patients with NSCLC.

AIM: To observe the comparison of vitrectomy combined drug therapy ( Ranibizumab injection ) and single vitrectomy for proliferatived diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ) and the influence of the curative effect and prognosis of patients.
METHODS:In this study, 112 cases (125 eyes) with PDR were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group ( n= 56 ) . Fifty-six cases ( 61 eyes ) in experimental group were injected by drug therapy of 0. 5mg ranibizumab and received vitrectomy;In control group, 56 cases ( 64 eyes ) were received single vitrectomy. The intraoperative and postoperative differences of clinical indicators were analyzed in two groups.
RESULTS: The average operation time, intraoperative electric coagulation hemostasis rate and iatrogenic hiatal incidence of the experimental group were lower than that of the control group:(95. 00±13. 00) min vs (133. 00±14.5) min, 11% vs 34%, 5% vs 20%, respectively (P<0. 05). The anterior chamber and vitreous body cavity hemorrhage rate within postoperative 1mo in the experimental group were lower than that of the control group:7% vs 23%, 5% vs 12%, respectively (P<0. 05). The postoperative visual acuity of experimental group was better than that of the control group:0. 375±0. 210 vs 0. 261±0. 170, respectively (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Patients with PDR injected with ranibizumab in vitreous cavity before vitrectomy can effectively reduce the operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, the incidence of iatrogenic hiatus, and intraoperative and postoperative complications. The postoperative visual acuity was better than before.

Applications of network pharmacology are increasingly widespread and methods abound in the field of drug development and pharmacological research. In this study, we choose rosiglitazone compound as the object to predict the targets and to discuss the mechanism based on three kinds of prediction methods of network pharmacology. Comparison of the prediction result has identified that the three kinds of prediction methods had their own characteristics: targets and pathways predicted were not in accordance with each other. However, the calcium signaling pathway could be predicted in the three kinds of methods, which associated with diabetes and cognitive impairment caused by diabetes by bioinformatics analysis. The above conclusion indicates that the calcium signaling pathway is important in signal pathway regulation of rosiglitazone compound, which provides a clue to further explain the mechanism of the compound and also provides a reference for the selection and application of methods of network pharmacology in the actual research.

Objective To investigate and analyze the clinical and imageological features of skull base erosion in nasopharyngeal carcinoma( NPC). Methods 67 NPC patients proved by pathology were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent both CT and MRI plain plus enhancement scan. Scan slices were performed from oral pharynx (lower border of second cervical vertebra) to suprasellar cistern by axial CT scans and axial, sagittal and coronal MRI scans. Results (1) 52 patients with skull base erosion were found with MRI, and only 35 patients with CT. The following structures and figures were difined with CT and MRI respectively: pterygoid plates 8,14; clivus 22,25 ; petrous apex 25 ,28 ; sphenoid body or sinus 19,25; sphenoid wing 9, 12; cavernous sinus 14,17. The display difference between CT and MRI had statistical significance ( x2= 9. 47 , P = 0. 02). (2) CT- defined skull base erosion was most bone destruction , however, not only bone destruction but also tumor crossing skull base structure could be defined by MRI. (3) The incidence of headache was 82.7% (43/52) , cranial nerve palsy was 67. 3% (35/52) , both headache and cranial nerve palsy was 57. 7% (30/52). Conclusion Headache and cranial nerve palsy are primary characteristics of the skull base erosion in NPC. MRI is superior to CT in defining both bone erosion and brain tissue abnormality.

Objective To explore the effect of iron chelators on labile iron pool and expression of apoptosis associated genes in cells of K562, an erythroleukemia cell line.Methods K562 cells were incubated at 37 ℃ in RPMI 1640 containing 10% heat-inactived fetal bovine serum in an saturated humidity and 5% CO_2 incubator. K562 cells were incubated with different concentrations of desferro-(xamine(DFO)). The study groups were divided as following: DFO group, iron+DFO group and the control group. Following indices were detected which included apoptosis by flow cytometry (FCM) assay, expression of Rb, c-myc, bax mRNA by RT-PCR. The intracellular LIP was measured with a fluorimetric assay using the metalsensitive probe calcein-AM.Results 1. The viability of K562 cells incubated with different concentrations of DFO was lower than that of control group at 12 h,24 h and 48 h (P

Objective To explore the expression of Survivin in colorectal cancer tissue and its relationship with clinicopathological features.Methods In situ hybridization was used to examine the expression of Survivin mRNA,and immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of Survivin protein in 60 cases of colorectal cancer and 30 cases of colorectal normal mucos tissue.The relationship of the expression of Survivin protein with clinicopathological features of colorectal cancer was analyzed.Results The positive expression rate of Survivin protein in colorectal normal mucos tissue (10.00%,3/30) was lower than that in colorectal cancer tissue (73.33%,44/60),and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The positive expression rate of Survivin mRNA in colorectal normal mucos tissue (6.67%,2/30) was lower than that in colorectal cancer tissue (63.33%,38/60),and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The expression of Survivin mRNA was positively correlated with depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis,liver metastasis,peritoneal micrometastasis and TNM stage in patients with colorectal cancer (P < 0.01),but had no correlation with gender,age,tumor size,location,degree of differentiation and histological type (P > 0.05).Conclusions The specific high expression of Survivin protein has a high correlation with the occurrence,development,infiltration of colorectal cancer.Survivin may be used as a marker for prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.
