BACKGROUND:Stem cel transplantation is a promising treatment for advanced liver diseases, and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels are a hot topic folowing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels. OBJECTIVE:To explore the therapeutic effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels transplantationvia the hepatic artery on advanced liver diseases in rats. METHODS:Forty-five rats were randomized into three groups, 15 rats in each group: control group, model group and transplantation group. Rat models of liver cirrhosis were made in the latter two groups through subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride. Then, 1 mL of CFSE-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels was infusedvia the hepatic artery in the transplantation group, and the same volume of normal saline was infused in the model group. Control group had no treatment. Pathological changes, liver function and degree of hepatic fibrosis were observed in the three groups at 4 weeks after treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After transplantation, green fluorescence-labeled adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cels were seen in the liver of rats. Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining showed unclear hepatic lobule structure in the model group with the formation of false lobules, cel cloudy sweling and loose, some degeneration and necrosis, and inflammatory cel infiltration; in the control group, there was nothing abnormal in the liver tissues of rats in the control group; in the transplantation group, the pathological changes of the rat liver were better than those in the model group, but worse than those in the control group. Compared with the model group, the level of serum albumin was higher in the control and transplantation group (P < 0.05), and the levels of bilirubin, aminotransferase and type IV colagen were lower in the control and transplantation group (P < 0.05). Thus, it can be seen that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can improve liver function and reduce liver fibrosis in cirrhotic rats.

Objective To analyze the advantage of altered fractionation radiotherapy by calculating the accumulative effects of daily biologically effective dose (BED) to find out the difference between conventional fractionated radiotherapy and altered fractionation radiotherapy.Methods The data in the report of hyperfractionated or accelerated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer published by Cochrane Collaboration in 2010 was analyzed.Based on the radiotherapy processes mentioned in this report,the accumulative effects of daily BED were calculated and compared in different radiotherapy processes by using linear-quadratic mode.The variation of BED in different radiotherapy processes was find out.Results In total dose of unity as the premise of 70 Gy,altered fractionation especially the hyperfractionated accelerated radiotherapy could give a higher BED to the tumor during a shorter period,hyperfractionated radiotherapy could give a lower BED to normal tissues,and hyperfractionated radiotherapy with split course could give higher BED to the tumor while lower BED to normal tissues.Conclusions The variation of BED in different radiotherapy processes can be shown clearly by linear-quadratic mode.It can be simple and shortcut through mathematical models for the evaluation of different radiotherapy plan,on clinical symptomatic selection play a guiding role in tumor therapy.

Objective To discuss the influence about three kinds of nasal feeding methods on ICU critical patients with gastrointestinal complications, thus providing guidance for ICU patients to choose reasonable way of nasal feeding pump injection. Methods 120 ICU patients were randomly assigned into three groups, which is the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour every three time pump group and continuous 24-hours pump group and intermittent 24-hour(continuous 2-hour and intermittent 1-hour every eight time units)pump group ,each group has 40 cases. To observe the the influence about three different way of nasogastric on ICU critical patients with gastrointestinal complications. Results The incidence of diarrhea and constipation among the three groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05) . The gastric retention rate of the continuous 24-hour pump group was significantly higher than that of the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour pump group and the intermittent 24-hour pump group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour pump group and the intermittent 24-hour pump group, (P > 0.05). Conclusions The continuous 24-hour pump group in gastric retention was slightly worse than the other two pump way. Compared with ICU class three a week and feeding times , the continuous 6-hour and intermittent 2-hour pump method is more suitable for ICU patients.

Objective To explore the MatriXX measurements the dose distributions for each beam in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans were measured with 0 degree gantry angle and actual gantry position respectively.To discuss whether the two multi-angle synthetic pass rate from the two methods has statistics differences.Methods The dose distributions for each beam in IMRT plans were measured with 0 degree gantry angle and actual gantry position for twelve patients with head and neck tumor respectively.The γ pass rates (according to 3％/3 mm) for each beam under each angle condition was obtained by the comparison between the measured and the calculated dose distributions from the treatment planning system which was treated as the reference distribution.Use the t-test to analyse the actual gantry angle method and use the one factor analysis of variance to analyze the two multi-angle synthetic pass rate from the two methods.Results The γ pass rates of actual gantry angle was found generally declined seemingly compared with 0 degree gantry angle,but differentγ pass rates showed only in 80 °,120°and 240° with98.71％,93.59％(t=2.10,P=0.000),98.15％,93.17％ (t=2.10,P=0.000) and 98.94％,92.85％ (t =2.10,P =0.000) respectively.The γpass rate of multi-angle synthetic was seemingly between methods (98.27％,94.63 ％,F =0.50,P =0.134).Conclusions Two kinds of IMRT verification mode are from two position to validated the IMRT plans dose accuracy,comparatively analysing the conclusions drawn from the two methods can protect accuracy of IMRT plans more comprehensively.

BACKGROUND:Umbilical cord blood stem cel s can be differentiated into functional liver cel s in vivo, instead of mature liver cel s in the treatment of liver diseases. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of umbilical cord blood stem cel transplantation on decompensated cirrhosis in rats. METHODS:Twenty Sprague-Dawley rats were enrol ed and given 40%carbon tetrachloride peanut oil to make decompensated cirrhosis models. Eight weeks after modeling, model rats were randomized into control and experimental groups (n=10 per group), and subjected to injection of umbilical cord blood stem cel suspension (2 mL, 1.0×107/L) or cel culture medium (2 mL) via the tail vein, respectively. At 4 weeks after injection, levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, albumin, total bilirubin, hyaluronic acid, laminin, procol agen III and type IV col agen were detected;rat liver tissues were sliced for pathological observation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the albumin level was significantly increased but the levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, hyaluronic acid, laminin, procol agen III and type IV col agen decreased significantly in the experimental group (P<0.05). From the pathological view, severity of liver cirrhosis was lower in the experimental group than the control group. Therefore, umbilical cord blood stem cel transplantation can effectively restore the liver function of decompensated cirrhosis in rats.
