Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effects of photodynamie therapy(PDT)on human pancreatic cancer xenograft in nude mice and the time-effect relationship of PDT.Methods The animal model of human pancreatic cancer was developed by suturing small pieces of SW1990 tumors into the dorsum of nude mice.When the size of the tumors increased to 0.8～1.0 cm.36 mice were randomly divided into three groups:control group(no treatment),photosensitizer group(Photosan 2mg/kg,abdominal cavity injection),photodynamic group(Photosan 2 mg/kg injection+laser irradiation).Each group included 12 mice.The tumor sizes were measured twice per week and the weight8 and volumes of the tumors were measured,and the tumor inhibitory rate was calculated three weeks later.Results The tumor volume of photodynamic group was (0.22±0.12)mm3 at the 6th day,which was significantly smaller than(0.43 s0.18)mm3 of control group and(0.39±0.15)mm3 of photosensitizer group(P＜0.05).15 days later,the tumor volumes of PDT groups increased.21 days later.the weight of the tumors in photodynamie group was(0.69±0.23)g,which was significantly lower than(1.65 ±0.21)g of control group and(1.62±0.12)g of photosensitizer group(P＜0.05).The tumor inhibitory rate in photodynamic group was 58.18%,which was significantly higher than that of photoseasitizer group(1.8%,P＜0.05).Conclusions Photodynamie therapy had significant anti-tumor effect on human pancreatic cancer with quick-acting efficacy,but photodynamie therapy alone exeaed efficacy only in the shoa term.

Objective To investigate the effects of gemcitabine,a cytotoxic drug,combined with photodynamic therapy (PDT) in treatment of human pancreatic cancer xenograft in nude mice.Methods The animal model of human pancreatic cancer was developed by suturing small pieces of SW1990 tumors into the dorsum of nude mice.Sixty animal models were randomly divided into five groups with 12 each:control group ( without any treatment ), photosensitizer group ( 2 mg/kg of Photosan, without illumination ),chemotherapy group (receiving 50 mg/kg of gemcitabine i.p. on day 0,3,6 and 9 after transplantation),photodynamic group (2 mg/kg photosan combined with laser irradiation) and combination group (50 mg/kg of gemcitabine and 2 mg/kg of photosan combined with laser irradiation). The tumor sizes were measured twice every week.All mice were sacrificed after 21 days.The tumor volume was calculated,and inhibitory effect and changes before and after treatment were analyzed.Results The tumor was grown bigger in control,photosensitizer and chemotherapy groups (all P value ＜0.05).On day 6,9,12,15,18and 21, the tumor size was significantly smaller in photodynamic group than those in control and photosensitize groups.While the tumor size on day 18 and 21 was smaller in combined group than those in photodynamic group(all P value ＜0.05). The tumor mass was (0.29 ± 0.20) g in combined group,which was lower than that in photodynamic,control,photosensitize and chemotherapy groups[(0.69±0.23) g,(1.65±0.21) g,(1.62±0.12) g,(1.37±0.19) g,respectively,P＜0.05].The inhibitory effect were 82.420%00 and 58.18% in combined group and photodynamic group,respectively(P＜0.05),while there was 1.80% and 17.00% in photosensitize and chemotherapy groups,respectively.Conclusions Photodynamic therapy has significant and short anti-tumor effect,but it can be significantly enhanced by combined with small dose of gemcitabine.

Objective To study the changes of Prealbumin (PA),C-reactive protein (CRP) and D-dimer (DD) levels in septic shock patients due to pneumonia so as to explore the relation to the severity of disease and prognosis.Methods PA,CRP and DD levels of 48 sepsis patients were measured on 1st 、 3rd、5th day after admission and the last day before discharge or death.Meanwhile APACHE Ⅱ score were documented.According to prognosis,patients were divided into death group and non-death group.Results The levels of PA、CRP and DD on the 1 st day were of no significant difference between the death group and non-death group( t = 2.315 ,P ＞ 0.05;t =2.013,P ＞0.05; t =2.511 ,P ＞0.05).The level of PA in death group on the 3rd day,the 5th day and the last day was much lower than that in non-death group ( t = 2.422,P ＜ 0.05; t = 2.557,P ＜ 0.05; t = 2.906,P ＜ 0.05 ).The level of CRP and DD in death group on the 3rd day,the 5th day and the last day was much higher than those in nondeath group(t =2.061 ,P ＜0.05 ;t =2.843,P ＜0.05 ,t =3.519,P ＜0.01 and t = 2.576,P ＜0.05,t = 2.823,P ＜0.05; t = 3.371 ,P ＜ 0.01 ).There was a negative correlation between PA and APACHE Ⅱ scores ( r = - 0.631,P ＜0.01 ) ,while a positive correlation was found between CRP,DD and APACHE Ⅱ score(r =0.687 ,P ＜0.01 and r =0.651 ,P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions Persistent low level of PA and high level of CRP,DD indicated severe disease course and unflavored prognosis.It is of clinical value to evaluate the severity of disease and predict prognosis in sepsis by combined dynamic observation of PA,CRP and DD levels.

Objective To explore the correlation between executive function and white matter lesions (WML) and the diagnostic value by clock drawing test(CDT) in patients with vascular dementia (VaD). Methods Twenty-seven VaD patients and twenty-five normal control subjects were evaluated with CDT to assess the executive function. CDT was scored according the four point method. Age-related white matter change rating scale (ARWMCrs) was used qualitatively to measure and locate the WML by cranial MRI scanning. Results 1. The scores of CDT in normal cognition health and VaD were ( 3.88 ± 0. 33 ) and ( 1.74 ± 0. 98 ). The difference between two groups was statistically significant (P＜0. 01 ). The humerous part and the point part were the earliest to decline in the VaD Patients. The scores of WML were (5.12 ± 4. 19) and ( 11.19± 3.09), respectively. There was significant difference between two groups(P ＜ 0. 01 ). The scores of CDT had significant positive correlation with MMSE scores and negative correlation with WML scores (P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusion The executive functional impairment in patients with VaD could be associated with the degree of WML.
