1.Progress in preconditioning regimen of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of multiple myeloma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2017;26(5):313-317
High-dose melphalan (Mel) is considered as a current standard preparative regimen in autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) for multiple myeloma (MM). Irradiation in total body (TBI) combined with Mel is not superior to Mel alone, and the adverse reactions are increased at the same time. The efficacy of 200 mg/m2 Mel is much better than that of 100-140 mg/m2 Mel in young patients. Several regimens including MelBU, TBC, BCV, MET, MTC, MelBCNU, VMel, MTC as well as bendamustine have similar treatment outcomes compared with 200 mg/m2 Mel. Other strategies need to be evaluated in different trials.

BACKGROUND: Adolescent Intemet addition disorder(IAD) gradually appears with the rapid popularization of Internet in China. National researches are rare at present.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the status quo of Internet use and on-line behavior characters of college students and to provide scientific data for the prevention of adolescent IAD.DESIGN: A status quo survey by employing college students as subjects SETTING: Department of psychiatrics of a medical university-affiliated hospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 510 college students were selected from three different type universities of Shanxi province including Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan University of Technology, Shanxi University of Finance and Economics between November 2003 and February 2004.METHODS: Totally 510 college students from three universities of Shanxi Province were assessed by IAD test and self-compiled questionnaire for on-line college students.and non-IAD students.RESULTS: The detectable rate of IAD in college students of Shanxi province was 6.2%. More male students( n =29) had IAD than female students ( n = 3 ). Weekly on-line time of IAD students was (18.59 ± 16. 12)hours, which was significantly longer than (5.61 ± 5.64) hours of non-IAD student( P < 0. 001 ) . There were significant differences of monthly on-line expenses, usual on-line place, opinions of whether intemet had negative impacts, understanding of their parents on internet functions they used, and the objective of on-line between IAD students and non-IAD students(P<0.05 -0. 001 ), while there were no significant differences of on-line history and the utilization of internet function between two groups of students ( P > 0. 05).CONCLUSION: The detectable rate of IAD in college students is relatively high and there is significant difference of on-line behavior characters between IAD students and non-IAD students, which should arouse attentions from the related department to prevent the occurrence of IAD.
4.Gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy with long term result: report of 55 cases
Chinese Journal of Urology 2012;33(5):351-355
ObjectiveTo report a series of female patients with bladder cancer who underwent gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy with long term follow-up.MethodsFifty-five female patients between the ages of 25 and 82 years who underwent gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy between 1990 and 2010 were reviewed retrospectively.Pathologic characteristics and survival ( overall and cancerspecific) were reported.Survival was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods,and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with mortality.ResultsFive patients were lost in follow up.Fifty-five women with a mean follow-up of 55.2 months were analyzed.The 3,5 and 10-year cancer specific survival (CSS) was 65%,61% and 61%,respectively,and the corresponding overall survival (OS) was 61%,54% and 42%,respectively.For patients with organ confined disease ( ≤ pT2N0M0) the 5-year CSS and OS was 84% and 72%,while for those with non organ confined disease ( ≥pT3N0M0) the 5-year CSS and OS reduced to 29% and 29%.Pathologic lymph node status (HR =3.877,P =0.019) and pathologic staging ( HR =3.992,P =0.011 ) were the only clinical or pathologic characteristics significantly associated with survival.ConclusionsFor patients with pathologically organ-confined bladder cancer ( ≤ pT2 N0 M0 ),gynecologic-tract sparing radical cystectomy is an oncologically safe treatment modality,while for those with ≥ pT3N0M0 or positive pelvic lymph nodes,gynecologic-traet sparing radical cystectomy may need large scale randomized control trials to justify its validity,pathological stage and lymph node status are the most important key points when choosing appropriate patients.

Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis 2007;19(1):29-33
To improve flexibility and reliability of iris recognition algorithm while keeping iris recognition success rate, an iris recognition approach for combining SVM with ICA feature extraction model is presented. SVM is a kind of classifier which has demonstrated high generalization capabilities in the object recognition problem. And ICA is a feature extraction technique which can be considered a generalization of principal component analysis. In this paper, ICA is used to generate a set of subsequences of feature vectors for iris feature extraction. Then each subsequence is classified using support vector machine sequence kernels. Experiments are made on CASIA iris database, the result indicates combination of SVM and ICA can improve iris recognition flexibility and reliability while keeping recognition success rate.
9.Detection and clinical significance of micrometastases in non-small cell lung cancer
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(01):-
Non-small cell lung cancer has a poor prognosis. Many patients who were proved to have none lymph node metastasis still relapse after operation. It may be caused by micrometastases which can′t be detected by conventional pathologic technique. Recently immunocytochemistry and moleculer methods are used to detect micrometastases in the peripheral blood, bone marrow or lymph node near the tumor. But the standard and reliable methods need to be developed and the clinical significance of micrometastases need to be discussed.
