Objective To assess the feasibility, safety and curative effect of permanent implantation of ~(125)I seeds combined with GP scheme chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in aged patients. Methods CT-guided permanent implantation of ~(125)I seeds combined with GP scheme chemotherapy was performed in 46 patients with NSCLC, of whom 26 received primary treatment and 20 underwent renewed treatment. During the procedure, ~(125)I seeds were embedded into the tumor in all the patients. Three to five days after the implantation, GP scheme chemotherapy started. GEM (1 000 mg/m~2) was given (intravenously dripping for 30 min.) on the 1st, 8th and 15th day; DDP (30 mg/m~2) was employed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day, and recombinant human endostatin (Endostar, 7.5 mg/m~2) was administered (intravenously dripping for 3-4 hours) from the 1st to the 14th day. Every 28 days completed one treatment course. Two months after ~(125)I seed implantation, at this time the patient had received two courses of treatment, the short-term effect and the toxic side-effect were evaluated. Results Two months after the ~(125)I particles were embedded in the tumor, all the 46 cases were able to be evaluate for the curative effect. Of 46 patients, complete relief (CR) was seen in 12, partial relief (PR) in 24, stable (SD) in 6 and progression (PD) in 4, with an effective rate of 78.26%. Of 26 patients in the primary treatment group, CR was obtained in 7, PR in 15, SD in 3 and PD in 1, with an effective rate of 84.6%. Of 20 patients in the renewed treatment group, CR was seen in 5, PR in 9, SD in 3 and PD in 3, with an effective rate of 70.0%. Conclusion Permanent implantation of ~(125)I seeds combined with GP scheme chemotherapy is an effective, safe and feasible treatment for NSCLC in aged patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of acupuncture on gene expression profile of neurotrophin and its receptors in cerebral cortex of neonatal rats after cerebral hypoxic-isehemic injury,and to explore the molecu- lar mechanism of acupuncture in treatment of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.Methods The model of cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury was established with 10 neonatal Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats,who were subjected to acupuncture once daily for 14 days.The animals were sacrificed on the next day of the last acupuncture and their brain cortex was sampled for examination of gene expression,using GEArray Q series neurotrophin and receptors gene array.Results After 14 days of acupuncture,it was found that 48 genes(50% of total genes on the microarray) were expressed differently between the two groups,of which 40 genes(83.3% of differently expressed genes),such as those of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),ciliary neurotrophic factor(CNTF),ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor(CNTFR),basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and fibroblast growth factor receptor type 1 (FGFR1)were up-regulated,and 8 genes(16.7% of differently expressed genes),such as genes of neuregulin-1 (Nrg1),neuregulin-4(Nrg4)and tyrosine kinase C(TrkC)were down-regulated.Conclusion Acupuncture can regulate the expression of various genes of neurotrophin and receptors in cerebral cortex of neonatal rats after cerebral hypoxic-ischemic injury,which might be the mechanism of acupuncture facilitating the recovery of the rats from hy- poxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) is one of the most prevalent inherited childhood white-matter disorders, and the pathogenic gene has been confirmed as EIF2B gene. VWM is characterized by chronic progressive neurological deterioration with cerebellar ataxia, usually less prominent spasticity and relatively mild mental decline. There are episodes of rapid and major neurological deterioration provoked by stresses, such as fever, minor physical trauma and acute fright, which is a characteristic clinical feature of VWM. Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings are diagnostic in almost all patients,and the disappearance of the cerebral white matter occurs in a diffuse "melting away" pattern. The onset of VWM can be at any age from fetal stage to adult stage, and the clinical phenotypes vary immensely. Gene diagnosis is the golden standard for VWM. This article reported a patient with a course of 17 years, who was misdiagnosed as Wilson′s disease because of low serum ceruloplasmin, and was finally diagnosed as VWM by reinterpretation of whole exome sequencing, which is worthy of clinicians′ vigilance and consideration.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric advantages of Gating in the treatment of prima-ry hepatic cancer with large segmentation. Methods A retrospective analysis of 10 patients with primary liver cancer from August 2017 to November 2018 after interventional therapy was performed using three consecutive phases of end-tidal phase to achieve pa-tient-controlled large-segment radiotherapy. Ten patients underwent 4DCT localization scan,and 10 respiratory phase sequences were reconstructed by respiratory wave-form,and the images were transmitted to the MIM6. 7. 6 workstation. In the MIM workstation, full-time phase maximum density projection(MIP-10),full-time phase average density projection(Mean-10),end-expiration 3 phase maximum density projection(MIP-3) and end-expiration 3 phase average density projection( Mean-3) were generated re-spectively,where MIP was used for target delineation and Mean for dose calculation. The radiotherapy doctor delineated IGTV-10 and IGTV-3 on the MIM workstation,and released CTV-10,CTV-3,PTV-10 and PTV-3 to compare the volume differences of the target area. After the target area was drawn,the image was transmitted from the MIM workstation to the Eclipse treatment planning sys-tem,and the full-time phase plan(Plan-10)with the same conditions and three consecutive phase-phase gating plans(Plan-3) were prepared. The prescriptive dosage was given at 50 Gy/10 f/2weeks. Comparing the HI and CI of the target area,the comparison of organs at risk included: the average dose of liver Dmean,the irradiation volume of liver less than 15Gy,the Dmax of small intestine, the Dmax of colon, the Dmax of stomach, the average dose of the kidney Dmean, the heart Dmax, and the spinal cord Dmax. Results The volume of the target area delineated at the end of expiratory phase was less than that of the target area outlined by the full-time phase in IGTV,CTV and PTV,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). In the two groups of seven field coplanar lage-segment radiotherapy plans,the 3-phase respiratory gating plan significantly reduced the dose of the organs at risk, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). At the same time,there was no statistically difference in the HI and CI be-tween of the two groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion The gated target area delineation and planning design of the three consecutive pha-ses of end-tidal phase reduce the volume of IGTV,CTV and PTV target regions compared with the selection of full-time phase,and have obvious advantages in the planned dosimetry. The irradiation dose that threatens the organs is worthy of being promoted and ap-plied in the large-scale radiotherapy of liver cancer.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the efficacy of different kinds of smoking cessation drugs by network Meta-analysis.Methods:Literature was retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, VIP, Wan fang database, from the establishment of the database to November 2022, and randomized controlled trials (RCT) about bupropion, varenicline, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) versus placebo in the treatment of smoking patients were collected. After data extraction from included literature which met inclusion criteria, and quality evaluation with Cochrane 5.1 risk bias evaluation tool, network Meta-analysis was performed by Stata15.1 software.Results:A total of 19 RCTs, involving 6106 patients and three interventions measures (bupropion, varenicline, NRT) and one control measure (placebo) were included. The results of network Meta-analysis showed that in terms of short-term abstinence rate, varenicline [ OR=4.21, 95% CI (2.32, 7.63)], bupropion [ OR=2.81, 95% CI(1.05, 7.54)] were better than placebo ( P<0.05). The surface under the cumulative ranking area (SUCRA): varenicline (90.2%)>bupropion (64.8%)>NRT (41.7%)>placebo (3.2%). In terms of the long-term abstinence rate, varenicline [ OR=3.06, 95% CI (1.59, 5.90)], NRT [ OR=3.39, 95% CI (2.20, 5.21)] were better than placebo ( P<0.05). SUCRA: varenicline (83.8%)>NRT (73.9%)>bupropion (37.2%)>placebo (5.2%). Conclusion:The existing evidence shows that compared with bupropion, NRT, varenicline has the best effect on quitting smoking, but more high-quality randomized trial evidence is needed for verification.
