Because of the aggressive threaten of heat stroke and a lack of understanding of the mechanism of action, mammal animal models for experimental heat stroke were well developed. During the past 5 decades, anesthetized mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, baboon and monkey were used as animal model for experimental heat stroke. However, anesthetized mammals models have some limitations, such as neuroprotective effect of anesthetic agents, possible disturbance on injury and recovery of stroke animals by anesthetic agents, difficulty of discussing animal behavior before and after heat stroke, it was also difficult for the models to evaluate cognitive function of animal under hot environment. Considering humanitarian, only awaked and unrestrained mouse heat stroke model was accepted so far. Therefore, we also developed an awaked and unrestrained rat heat stroke model, and found it was helpful to evaluate drug effectiveness for animal behavior and cognitive function under hot environment.

Objective:To study the efficacy of stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) combined with gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GP)-based chemotherapy on local recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after radiotherapy. Methods:Thirty-eight patients with local recurrent NSCLC were treated with SRT(3.00-4.85 Gy per fraction, five times every week, totally 8-12 fractions, total course of 2-3 weeks). Before SRT the patients were given two cycles of GP-based chemotherapy (gemcitabine 1 000 mg/m~2 d 1 and d 8;cisplatin 30 mg/m~2 d 1-3) and at the end of SRT they were given 4 cycles of GP-based chemotherapy. Results:Of the 38 patients,7 patients had complete response, and 23 patients achieved partial response. The overall immediate response rate was 78.95% (30/38). The 6-month and 12-month total survival rates were 71.05% and 10.53%,respectively. The median survival time was 7.8 months. Conclusion:SRT combined with GP-based chemotherapy had better short-term efficacy and the patients were tolerable. No severe short-term radiation-induced injury was observed. The long-term radiation-induced injury and long-term efficacy need further investigation.

Objective To verify the best treatment strategy in reducing prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression and death rate in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer by a meta-analysis. Methods The literature search strategy was followed according to the Collaborative Review Group search strategy. Published data of randomized clinical trials comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) plus adjuvant therapy to either RP alone or other treatment were analyzed. Both fixed effect model and randomized effect model were applied and odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was also used as the effect size 'estimate. Results Eight clinical trials were chosen with total in-volved cases of 3826. There were 5 trials compared post radical prostatectomy plus adjuvant hormonal therapy with radical prostatectomy alone. PSA progression was used as the indicator of progression and the combined OR was 0.86 (95%CI 0.48-1.56). There were 3 trails compared the combination of radical prostateetomy with hormonal therapy and radical prostatectomy alone. Disease specific death rate was used as the evaluating criteria and the OR was 0.72(95%CI,0.51-1.02). Conclusion RP plus adjuvant hormonal therapy can reduce PSA progression of patients with locally advanced pros-tate cancer, but it has no significant effect on disease specific death rate.
