Upon the previous studies on the effect of spinal cord repair kinetics, we report the effect of extending the irradiation schedules to 3 treatment day per week. The animals in the experimental group received a pair of 2Gy fraction every other day separated by intervals (day/overnight) of 6h/42h and 8h/40h, respectively. There was significant shift by increasing interfraction intervals from 6/18h and 8/16h to6h/42h and 8h/40h, respectively. It is suggested that the tolerance of spinal cord is reduced while the overnight intervals are shortened from 42h and 40h to 18h and 16h, respectively and the repair of sublethal damage of spinal cord following multifraction treatment per day used in the clinic is not completed. With biexponential model, the ?/? ratio derived from these pooled data was 2.2Gy. T 1/2 values from spinal cord were obtained as 1.3h and 5.5h. It showed that the repair kinetics parameters are in well agreement with the results from the previous work. The repair processes are not influenced by interruption during radiotherapy.

The biology rationale for radiotherapy in the treatment of malignant disease is based on repair, repopulation,reoxygenation and cell cycle redistribution. Various aspects of the roles of the 4R' are discussed, including in determining the sensitivity of tumors and normal tissue tolerances. An improvement in therapeutic ratio may derive from reducing the dose per fraction and minimizing the overall treatmemt duration. Some methods have developed to predict the response of normal and tumor tissues before radiotherapy. The parameters of cell survival at 2Gy(SF2) was correlated with clinical outcome. There is reasons to suppose that the pretreatment tumor LI and Tpot mat be good predictors for tumor repopulation kinetics. This review also discussed the rationale for the use of LQ model in fractionated radiotherapy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum Angiopoietin-1 ( Ang-1 ) level and the onset, the severity and the prognosis at 90 d of acute cerebral infarction.Methods The level of serum Ang-1 was measured in 132 acute cerebral infarction patients ( case group ) and 108 healthy controls ( control group ) .The relevant clinical data was also collected.NIHSS was assessed at admission.The severity of the condition was defined according to the NIHSS score.NIHSS score <5, 5 -15 and ≥16 were defined as minor, moderate and severe condition, respectively.mRS was assessed at 90 d after admission.mRS≤2 was defined as good outcome and otherwise defined as poor outcome.Results Compared with control group, proportion of patients who had a history of smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation were significant higher, serum Ang-1 concentration was significant lower ( all P<0.05 ) .Logistic analysis showed that serum Ang-1 level and a history of diabetes mellitus were associated with the occurrence of acute cerebral infarction ( all P<0.01 ) .The serum Ang-1 level in minor, moderate and severe condition patients was (1.12 ±0.35) ng/ml, (0.96 ±0.39) ng/ml and (0.76 ±0.49) ng/ml.There were significant differences among them ( P=0.003) .There was a significant relationship between the severity and the serum Ang-1 level ( r=-0.267, P=0.002 ) .Compared with good outcome patients, the poor outcome patients had significant higher NIHSS score and higher proportion of a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and lower serum Ang-1 concentration ( all P<0.05 ) .NIHSS score and serum Ang-1 concentration at admission had a significant relationship with 90 d outcome of acute cerebral infarction patients ( all P<0.01) .Conclusion Serum Ang-1 level was lower in acute cerebral infarction patients and it had significant relationship with the onset, severity and 90 d outcome of acute cerebral infaration.

Antitumor drugs that target the signaling of vascular endothelial growth factor and its receptors have attracted increasing attention with the development of antiangiogenic targeted therapy. Apatinib is a second-generation vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 inhibitor and a potent antiangiogenic agent. Apatinib is one of the recent oral molecular targeted anti tumor drugs. Clinical studies have indicated that apatinib exhibits high bioavailability and a tolerable safety profile. A series of large-scale randomized and controlled clinical trials before and after the release of the drug in the market have demonstrated encouraging objective response rate and survival benefit across a broad range of malignancies, including non-small cell lung cancer, breast cancer, and gastric cancer. Apa-tinib was approved and launched in China in 2014 as a subsequent-line treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer. Apatinib is currently undergoing phase II/III clinical trials for the treatment of numerous cancer types, such as gastric carcinoma, lung cancer, he-patocellular carcinoma, esophageal cancer, and colorectal cancer. These clinical trials are conducted to determine the antitumor activi-ty of apatinib when administrated alone or in combination with other therapies. This review summarizes the latest research progress of apatinib, including antitumor mechanisms, clinical effects on different tumor types, safety profile and adverse effects, drug interac-tions, as well as drug resistance and biomarkers. This article presents a deeper understanding of the clinical application of apatinib in anti tumor treatment, and provides reference for future clinical practice in therapeutic options for cancer patients.

Pancreatic abscess(PA)is the most serious complication of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP),which can lead to systemic and/ or local complications,and even death. PA cannot be resolved automatically after the formation. Once diagnosed,early drainage,anti-infection and nutrition support should be undertaken,the most important is early drainage. In the past,the treatment of PA was mainly based on surgical treatment. With the development of minimally invasive techniques,endoscopic ultrasound(EUS)guided drainage and percutaneous catheter drainage(PCD)offer a new way for the treatment of PA. Preventing and early diagnosis of PA become a challenge in the treatment of SAP. This article reviewed the progress in diagnosis and treatment of SAP complicated with PA.

Objective To introduce the development of an adjustable and bed- type table for pleural puncture and observe its clinical effect. Methods 100 patients who were to undergo pleural puncture were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 50 cases in each group.The experimen-tal group adopted the adjustable and bed-type table for pleural puncture, while the control group used the conventional method.The pulse,respiration and artery blood oxygen saturation degree were observed. The ef-feet of puncture was also compared. Results The pulse and respiration increased and the artery blood oxygen saturation degree decreased after puncture,which were significantly different between the two groups. One- time success rate of puncture,comfort degree and satisfaction degree of patients in the experimental group were better than those of the control group. Conclusions Adjustable and bed- type table for pleu-ral puncture can reduce the uncomfort of patients and increase the success rate of puncture and satisfaction degree of patients.
