To seek the ideal replacing grafts of blood vessel,many different methods of tissue engineering blood vessel(TEBV)have been created,such as collagen gel-based,biodegradable scaffold-based,self-assembled vascular grafts,and peritoneal and pleural cavities as bioreactors to grow autologous vascular grafts,etc.Some TEBVs have partially or completely met the requirements for clinic,even have applied in clinic.In this article reviewed,the models with better characters in big animals and clinical tests,and discussed the current problems of TEBV and looked forward to future clinical application.

Early diagnosis,early treatment and the correct therapeutic approch are the keys for metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) treatment.Currently,PET-CT is the best modality for distant metastasis staging of NPC.Cispalatin-based chemotherapy is the standard treatment method of metastatic NPC.Molecular targeted therapy is possible to further increase curative effect.When the lesions are limited,local palliative treatment may improve prognosis if patient's illness is controled by chemotherapy.

The apparent digestibilities of two preparations of corn as staples in men were estimated during March and April in 1979. Seven healthy adult men, who lived in this region for many years, were accustomed to eat corn as their staple diets. Each of the two preparations from the same batch of corn was used in the experiment. One preparation was "cooked corn meal" and the other was Jian-bing, the latter was considered the better way of cooking. Other ingredients of food in these two test diets were the same. During the test periods, the volunteers ate the test diets and drank boiled water ad lib, but the quantities were recorded. No other foodstuffs and drinks were allowed. The nutritive values of test diets were sufficient to meet the subjects' physiological needs. The 12 days period was divided into adaptative and testing periods of three days each for the two kinds of test diets. During the test periods, the total foodstuffs and the volunteers' faeces were analysed for the contents of water, anhydrates, total ni- trogen, crude fat, ash and fiber in the samples. From the data obtained, the apparent digestibilities of anhydrates, total nitrogen and crude fat ware calculated. Urine nitrogen was analysed and the nitrogen balance was calculated. The body weight at the beginning and the end of test periods were measured.The apparent digestibility (%) of anhydrates was 93.31?0.393 and 94.79 ? 0.578, total nitrogrn 84.60 ? 0.843 and 87.77 ? 1.080 and crude fat 86.32 ? 1.296 and 94.68 ? 0.838 in cooked corn meal diet and the corn flour Jian-bing diet respectively. The apparent digestibility in corn Jian-bing diet was higher statistically than that of cooked corn diet. Body weights fluctuated within the normal range. The nitrogen balances of all subjects were positive and the difference of nitrogen balance studies between the two test diets was not statistically significant.The results of the experiment suggest that, the differences of apparent digestibility between two diets was mainly due to the methods of preparation, Jian-bing being better than cooked corn diet in human nutrition.

Objective:To evaluate effect of different induction chemotherapy on the clinical efficacy of concurrent intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and chemotherapy and identify the prognostic factors in non-endemic locally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients.Methods:Clinical data of 210 patients with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ B(excluding stage T 3-4N 0M 0) nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated in our hospital from 2012 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the efficacy of different induction chemotherapy, all patients were divided into the effective group (14 cases of complete remission and 165 cases of partial remission) and ineffective group (31 cases of stability and 0 case of progression). Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan- Meier method. Multivariate analysis was conducted by using Cox′s regression model. Results:Compared with the ineffective group, the 3-year overall survival (OS)(89.2% vs. 74.2%, P=0.005), recurrence-free survival (RFS)(93.0% vs. 81.9%, P=0.010) and progression-free survival (PFS)(80.2% vs. 58.1%, P=0.005) were significantly higher in the effective group, whereas the distant metastasis-free survival did not significantly differ between two groups (84.1% vs.69.7%, P=0.070). Multivariate analysis showed that the tumor response to induction chemotherapy was an independent prognostic factor for OS, RFS and PFS. Conclusions:Tumor response to induction chemotherapy might be a prognostic factor for non-endemic locally-advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Clinical prognosis of patients with poor response to induction chemotherapy is even worse. More intensive treatment and closer follow-up may be needed for these patients.

A total of 1512 adult inhabitants were randomly recruited in Zhaiji district of Guiyang city in September2009.The levels of triglyceride (TG),systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and the prevalences of abdominal obesity and hypertension increased significantly in the subclinical hypothyroidism group conpared to the euthyroid group (P＜0.05).The prevalences of high TG,low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol,and metabolic syndrome (MS) in the subgroup Ⅳ were higher than the subgroup Ⅰ (P＜0.05).Correlation analysis revealed that TSH was positively related to TG (P＜0.05).Logistic regression demonstrated that TSH was a risk factor for MS.Either in the euthyroid or total subjects serum TSH levels in the MS group were significantly higher than those in non-MS group(P＜0.05).

Objective To compare the long-term efficacy between two radiochemotherapy regimens for locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC):intensity-modulated radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy (CCRT) versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) followed by CCRT.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 278 patients with locally advanced NPC who were admitted to our hospital from 2001 to 2008.Of the 278 patients,133 received CCRT,and 145 received NACT followed by CCRT (NACT + CCRT).Results The follow-up rate was 96.6％.The 5-year overall survival (OS),distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS),recurrence-free survival (RFS),and progression-free survival (PFS) were 78.1％,78.0％,90.6％,and 72.0％,respectively.There were no significant differences between the CCRT group and NACT + CCRT group in 5-year OS (79.9％ vs.76.4％,P =0.443),DMFS (77.1％ vs.78.9％,P=0.972),RFS (91.6％ vs.89.8％,P=0.475),and PFS (71.6％ vs.72.2％,P=0.731).Subgroup analysis showed that compared with CCRT,NACT + CCRT did not significantly improve 5-year RFS in T3-4N0-1 patients (90.7％ vs.86.9％,P=0.376) and did not significantly improve 5-year DMFS in patients with advanced N-stage disease (57.6％ vs.69.7％,P =0.275).There were significantly higher numbers of individuals with neutropenia,decrease in hemoglobin,and upper gastrointestinal reactions in patients treated with NACT + CCRT than in those treated with CCRT (100 vs.52,P=0.000;64 vs.35,P=0.010;90 vs.63,P=0.044).Conclusions Compared with CCRT,NACT + CCRT does not significantly improve the prognosis in patients with locally advanced NPC and leads to significant increases in grade ≥ 3 toxicities (neutropenia,decrease in hemoglobin,and upper gastrointestinal reactions).The role of NACT in the treatment of locally advanced NPC needs further study

Objective To investigate the efficacy of treatment on malignant intracranial gliomas with the chemotherapy of intracerebral implantation of 5-Fu biodegradable polymers combined with radiotherapy of interstitial implantation of 125Ⅰ after microsurgery resection. Methods Sixty-five patients with malignant intracranial gliomas who had underwent craniotomy microsurgical resection were intraoperatively implanted in the tumor bed around with 5-Fu biodegradable polymers and 125Ⅰ seeds. After first implantation (3 months to 1 year), stereotactic guided implantation was carried out 1 or 2 times again. The patients were followed up for 6-36 months to observe the efficacy, edema and adverse reactions, compared with follow-up of 40 patients with malignant intracranial gliomas treated by conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy after microsurgical total resection. Results Within 1 week after the implantation the patients had headache significantly, WBC of cerebrospinal fluid was increased to some degrees, and edema was obvious compared with surgery alone. All patients were treated and discharged. Forty-four patients were completely followed-up and the survival period was significantly longer. Within 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years, there were 4 cases (9.1 %) of recurrence and no case of death, 14 cases (31.8 %) of recurrence and no case of death, 20 cases (45.5 %) of recurrence and 12 cases (27.6 %) of death and 29 cases (65.9 %) of recurrence and 20 cases(45.5 %) of death, respectively. No obviously adverse reactions were found and the quality of life was significantly improved. Conclusion Microsurgical total resection is the key of the treatment. It is an alternative treatment of human malignant gliomas in the safe and effective way that the local chemotherapy of intracerebral implantation of 5-Fu biodegradable polymers combined with local sensitivity radiotherapy of interstitial implantation of 125Ⅰ after microsurgical resection.

Objective To research the influence of docetaxel on radiosensitivity in papillary thyroid carcinoma TPC-1 cells.Methods 6 MV X-ray irradiation and deocetaxel were incubated separately or jointly with TPC-1 cells.Proliferation inhibition of docetaxel on TPC-1 cells was detected by CCK-8 method.Radiosensitization of docetaxel was measured by clone formation assay.Flow cytometry (FCM) was employed to analyze cell apoptosis and cycle progression.Western blot assay was applied to examine the expressions of Bax and Bcl-2 proteins.Results The proliferation inhibition effect depended on the concentration and treatment time of docetaxel with IC50 value of 6.06 (24 h),1.39 (48 h),and 0.09 μg/ml (72 h),respectively.The value of SF2,D0,Dq in the radiation treatment group combined with docetaxel were obviously lower than those in the radiation alone group.The SER of docetaxel was 1.53.Following treatment with 0.05 μg/ml docetaxel combined with radiation for 24,48,72 h,the ratios of apoptosis in TPC-1 cells were 31.67％,44.57％,70.20％,which were higher than that of radiation alone group(t =-146.56,-15.13,-19.15,P ＜ 0.05).FCM measurement showed that cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase in the cells treated with docetaxel and radiation was much more obvious than the group of radiation alone (t =-79.17,P ＜ 0.05).In addition,in the combination treatment group,the expression of Bax increased (t =93.56,P ＜ 0.05) while the expression of Bcl-2 decreased (t =41.02,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Docetaxel can enhance the radiosensitivity of TPC-1 cells by promoting cell cycle arrest,induction of apoptosis and formation of associated proteins Bax/Bcl-2.

Objective To investigate the clinical values of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18FDG PET-CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in precise radiotherapy after surgery in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 53 patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled and underwent PET-CT and MRI imaging within two weeks after surgery.The detection rates of residual lesions and lymph node metastases after surgery by PET-CT and MRI were compared on the basis of the pathological results of biopsy.The gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical target volume (CTV) determined by PET-CT and MRI were compared;the normally distributed data were analyzed using the t test, and the skewed distribution data by the Wilcoxon rank sum test.The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value in predicting precise radiotherapy after surgery, as determined by PET-CT and MRI, were compared with the chi-square test.Results Fourteen patients had residual lesions after surgery.The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of PET-CT in detecting residual lesions after surgery were significantly higher than those of MRI (92.86%, 94.87%, 86.67%, 97.37%, and 94.34% vs.57.14%, 76.92%, 47.06%, 83.34%, and 71.70%, all P<0.05);the specificity, positive predictive value, and accuracy of PET-CT in detecting lymph node metastases were also significantly higher than those of MRI (all P<0.05), except for the sensitivity and negative predictive value (P>0.05).For the 14 patients with residual lesions, GTVPET/CT was significantly smaller than GTVMRI(45.62±22.13 cm3 vs.60.61±23.12 cm3, P=0.034), so did CTV (125.54±17.53 cm3 vs.142.18±21.22 cm3, P=0.011).There was no significant difference between CTVPET-CT and CTVMRI in 39 patients without residual lesions after surgery (117.87±17.66 cm3 vs.128.05±20.65, P=0.099).Conclusions PET-CT is superior to MRI in detecting the residual lesions and lymph node metastases after surgery in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, which provides valuable information for radiotherapy planning.
