Objective:To study the incidence, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma (AITL). Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 31 patients with AITL treated in the tumor hospital of Harbin Medical University between January 1995 and January 2008. We also analyzed the incidence, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of AITL. Results:The complete response rate and partial response rate of the entire group were 54.8%and 16.1%, respectively. The overall response rate was 70.9%, and the median survival time was 27.3 months. The five-year survival rate of the entire group was 35%. The response rate was 76.5%in the CHOP group and 75%in the COP group. No significant differences were detected between two groups (P>0.05). Con-clusion:The symptoms and signs of ATIL differ in different sites. The COP and CHOP regimens have similar efficacy and tolerable side effects.

Objective　To study the correlation between the rabbit glucocorticoid receptor(GR) and steroid-induced glaucoma(SIG).Methods　The GR binding in peripheral blood leukocytes and plasma cortisol were measured in 15 adults pigmented rabbits on the first day of experiment, 0.5mg dexamethasone was injected in the right eyes of each rabbit once every 2 days, totally 15 times for 30 days. Right eyes intraocular pressure(IOP) and aqueous outflow facility were measured every week, the relation between GR, plasma cortisol, IOP and aqueous outflow facility(C) was analyzed. Results　After the experiment the IOP increased by 0.67kPa±0.49kPa(P＜0.01),C decreased by 0.08±0.11(P＜0.01).GR may closely be related to IOP and C(r=0.56,P＜0.025; r=0.60,P＜0.01).Plasma cortisol was independent of IOP and C(r=0.27, P＞0.05;r=0.34,P＞0.05).Conclusion　The level of GR has positive correlation with the sensitivity of tissue of eye to glucocorticoid.

Objective To investigate the bactericidal mechanism of electrolyzed oxidizing water (EOW) against Pseudomona aeruginosa (P.aeruginosa).Methods Bactericidal mechanism of EOW against P.aeruginosa was studied through intracellular protein leakage,nucleic acid,and cell membrane calcium ion permeability,2 ％ glutaraldehyde was used as positive control group,and normal saline (NS) was used as negative control group.Results The killing rates of EOW and 2％ glutaraldehyde to P.aeruginosa were both＞99.99％ with 30-second contact time,and 100.00％ with 60-second contact time.After 60-second contact with EOW,NS,and 2％ glutaraldehyde,the protein leakage of P.aeruginosa detected by bicinchoninic acid (BCA) were (96.00 ± 7.42),(94.15 ± 7.49),and (216.97 ± 10.35)μg/mL,respectively,difference was significant(F =613.20,P＜0.01),2％ glutaraldehyde group was higher than EOW group and NS group;protein leakage did not change with the increase of contact time(all P＞0.05).Electrophoretogram of random amplified polymorphic DNA showed high intensity dense band between 500-1000 Kb in EOW group and NS group,while 2％ glutaraldehyde group was without amplified bands.The fluorescence intensity of calcium ion of EOW group and 2％ glutaraldehyde group were both lower than that of NS group.Conclusion Bactericidal mechanism of EOW may be due to the damage of membrane permeability of P.aeruginosa,which causes Ca2+ leakage,but fails to cause protein leakage,the damage to nucleic acid is not obvious,DNA may not be a bactericidal target of EOW.

Objective To study the risk factors related to recurrence of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) after discontinuing postoperative adjuvant imatinib mesylate (IM) treatment.Methods We retrospectively analyzed our clinical database of 138 GIST patients who received radical resection and subsequent IM adjuvant treatment at the Renji Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between January 2006 and January 2014.Results For the entire Multivariate analysis study group,the overall 5-year recurrent free survival (RFS) rate was 54.5％.There were two tumor characteristics which were independent prognostic factors of GIST treated by postoperative IM:Ki67 index (P =0.005),and serosal invasion (P =0.026).The accuracy of comprehensive evaluation based on the two weighted variables was better than NIH staging criteria(AUC:0.714 vs.0.631).Furthermore,two risk groups were created according to the risk model with 5-year RFS of 81.3％ and 31.1％ as low-risk and high-risk groups,respectively (P ＜0.05).Conclusions For patients with intermediate or high risk in NIH classification,if there was tumor serosal invasion,or if there was no local invasion but Ki67 index ＞ 8％,extended continuous IM adjuvant treatment should be recommended after the primary tumor was radically resected.

There are many different kinds of drugs which can treat ischemic stroke. This study aims to analyze the clinical treatment of ischemic stroke using Chinese and western medicines and their combination scheme. Data abstracted from 15 national 3a grad hospitals' hospital information system (HIS) databases were collected, then were used frequencies to find the common used drug and type, and were used association rules to anylizs the common combined medication scheme of Chinese and western medicines. It was found that the Shuxuetong (9 015 cases, 22.66%), Danhong (7 369 cases,18.53%) and Xueshuaitong (5 302 cases,13.33%) injections were the most frequently used drugs, and blood-activating and stasis-dissolving prescription (30 384 cases, 76.39%), resuscitative prescription (6 850 cases,17.22%) and tonic prescription (5 997 cases,15.08%) were the most commonly used types of Chinese medicine. The oral dose of aspirin (20 924 cases, 52.60%), Guangxi pp injection (10 771 cases, 27.08%) and insulin injection (10 599 cases, 26.65%) were frequently used. And the types of antiplatelet agents (23 049 cases, 57.95%), vasodilator (19 608 cases, 59.29%) and antihypertensive drug (15 475 cases, 39.90%) were commonly used. The drug combination of aspirin, twenty five pearl pill, Danhong and Xueshuaitong injection were the most frequently used group and its confidence coefficient is 97.5%. The type combination of blood-activating and stasis-dissolving prescription, thrombolytic drug, insulin and vasodilator was the most commonly used group and its confidence coefficient is 97.424%. This study concludes that the drug combination of aspirin, twenty five pearl pill, Danhong and Xueshuaitong injection and the type combination of blood-activating and stasis-dissolving prescription, thrombolytic drug, insulin and vasodilator were commonly used in clinical.

Using sustained release tablets of gardenia extract as model drug and DPPH radical scavenging capacity as antioxidant index, the feasibility of using pharmacodynamics index was explored to evaluate sustained release tablets. Applying the established quantifiable method of DPPH radical scavenging to the dissolved liquid of model drug, release profiles and biological effects profiles were drawn, and their correlation was discussed. A good correlation was observed by linear regression and f2 actor, suggesting that the indicator could be used to evaluate sustained release tabletsofextracts of gardenia in which iridoids were mainly involved.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitizing effects of gefitinib at different administration time. Methods Gefitinib was administered to A549 lung cancer cells in three different ways (method 1, 24 h before irradiation ;method 2, upon irradiation and method 3, 24 h after irradiation). Cell-surviving rates were evaluated by the colony-forming assays. Cell apoptnsis and cell-cycle distributions were detected by the flow cytometry (FCM). Protein expression of p21, Cdc25c, Bcl-2, Bax, Rad51 and phosphorylated DNA - PKcs (phnspho - DNA - PK) were measured with the Western blot analysis. Results The sensitizing effect ratio (ratio of D_0 value) was 2.23, 1.51 and 1.30 with method 1, 2 and 3, respectively. A higher apoptosis rate and more G_2/M phase arrest were observed with method 1 when compare with method 2 or 3. With the similar tendency, the protein level of p21, Cdc25c, Bcl-2, Bax, RadSl and phospho-DNA-PK changed distinctly. Conclusions Radiosensitizing effects are obtained in all three methods, with gefitinib delivered before irradiation being the best.

Objective:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the frequency of MDSCs in peripheral blood of hepatocellular carcinoma patients and to investigate the clinical significance of change of MDSCs in the peripheral blood and provide new ways for e-valuating immune state and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 62 patients with HCC and 20 healthy donors.The phenotype of CD3,CD4,CD33,HLA-DR and Th1,Th2 immune subsets in peripheral blood of each group were observed by FCM methods.Results:There were statically different frequencies in the peripheral blood between hepato-cellular carcinoma and healthy control group,which the proportion of total CD3+T lymphocytes and CD3+CD4+T cells were lower and the proportion of CD33+HLA-DR-MDSCs was higher in hepatocellular carcinoma patients.( P<0.05 ).The increase of percentage of MDSCs was greater in patients at Stage C and D than in patients at stage A and B.Conclusion:The Th1/Th2 ratio in the PBMC were of imbalance and MDSCs was significantly increased in peripheral blood of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.The increase of MDSCs was significantly correlated with clinical stage.CD33+HLA-DR-MDSCs may play an important role in prediction in prognosis and tumor immune status of hepatocellular carcinoma.
