Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the major curative treatment for patients with malignant hematologic diseases. However, a number of serious complications limits successful outcomes. Acute graft-versus-host disease(GVHD) is a major cause of death following allo-HSCT.The mortality rate is 50 % in Ⅱ -Ⅳ aGVHD. At present, the major prevention methods conclude inhibiting T cell activation and proliferation, depleting of T cell in graft, and decreasing the dose of preconditioning. And only one quarter of these patients will have a complete response to first-line corticosteroid therapy. Patients with steroid resistant acute GVHD require second-line therapy to which the response rate is only 30 %-50 %.Second-line therapies including monoclone antibody, chemotherapy and cytokine inhibitor were used. Secondline options can impair immune reconstitution and increase the risk for infection. Therefore, novel approaches to prevent and treat GVHD are critically needed. This work will review novel immuno-modulatory therapy currently being employed both for the prevention and treatment of GVHD.

Objective To observe whether coagulation zones can be produced by intraductal radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in vivo and investigate the effect of portal blood flow on the sizes of coagulation zones. Methods Fourteen bile duct targets in hepatic hilar from 6 swines were equally divided into non-Pringle manoeuvre group and Pringle manoeuvre group. A 13mm segment of non-insulated mono-electrode was inserted into the bile duct, then RFA was performed under the condition of 5 W power output for 4 minutes. The pathological changes of bile duct and adjacent hepatic tissues were observed. Results Semi-oval offwhite coagulation zones in the sections were observed in both groups, with obvious dark-red rims around them. Necrosis and denaturation of mucosal and submucosal layers of bile duct and denaturation of adjacent hepatic tissue in coagulation zones were observed under optical microscope. The dark-red rims revealed hepatic hemorrhage. The mean long axial diameter of coagulation zones in the non-Pringle manoeuvre group and Pringle manoeuvre group was (13.29±1.38)mm and (13.29±1.1 1)mm, respectively, with no statistical difference (t=0.000, P>0.05). The mean short axial diameter of coagulation zones in the non-Pringle manoeuvre group and Pringle manoeuvre group was (3.14±1.07)mm and (4.57±0.98)mm, respectively, with statistical difference (t=2.611, P<0.05). Conclusions Intraductal RFA can produce a typical ablation zone. The portal blood flow affects the short axial diameter of coagulation zone but does not affect the long axial diameter.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of mifepristone combined with misoprostol in the treatment of missed abortion.Methods According to the digital table,184 patients with missed abortion were randomly divided into study group and control group,92 cases in each group.The control group was given oral diethyl-stilbestrol underwent curettage,while the study group was given mifepristone combined with misoprostol therapy under-went curettage.The clinical therapeutic effect and adverse reaction were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rate of the study group after treatment was 95.65%,which was significantly higher than 86.96% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =4.38,P <0.05).Compared with the control group,in the study group,the operative time[(7.22 ±1.11)minute]observed significant relationship,intraoperative hemorrhage volume[(35.68 ±5.62)milliliter]decreased significantly,pregnancy natural rate of discharge(81.52%)was obvi-ously improved,artificial abortion syndrome incidence rate(3.26%)and again the rate of curettage(5.43%)was obviously decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(t =16.10,12.52,χ2 =7.84,8.87,15.93,all P <0.05).The clinical adverse reaction rate in the study group was 16.30%,which was significantly lower than 29.35% in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =4.44,P <0.05).Conclusion Mife-pristone combined with misoprostol plays a complementary role,can improve the treatment of missed abortion and has good operation condition.It also can reduce the adverse reactions,complications and pain of patients.It is worth of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the risk factors for nosocomial infection of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) in ICU,and to provide reference for preventing and controlling MDRO in ICU. METHODS:In retrospective study,246 patients with nosocomial infection from ICU of Xi'an Aerospace General Hospital (hereinafter referred to asour hospital) during Jan. 2011-Dec. 2015 were selected and divided into non-MDRO infection group (140 cases) and MDRO infection group (106 cases). The detection and drug resistance of MDRO were analyzed in MDRO group. Univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression anal-ysis were used to explore risk factors for nosocomial infection of MDRO. RESULTS:During 2011-2015,435 strains of MDRO were isolated from 106 MDRO infection patients,in which Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 89.43%,showing severe drug re-sistance. Univariate analysis showed that the following 13 factors were related to nosocomial infection of MDRO,such as ICU ad-mission time,hypoproteinemia,acute cerebrovascular diseases,renal abnormalities,mechanical ventilation time,arterivenous cath-eterization time,urethral catheterization time,indwelling gastric tube time,type and time of using antibiotics,combined use of an-tibiotics,application of carbapenems and the third generation caphalosporins(P<0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that acute cerebrovascular diseases,type and time of using antibiotics were the independent risk factors for nosocomial infection of MDRO in ICU [odds ratios were 2.816,1.582,1.265,95%CI were (1.540,5.151),(1.085,2.306),(1.131,1.415)]. CONCLU-SIONS:Some prevention and control measures should be taken actively for high-risk MDRO infection patients in ICU to reduce the incidence of nosocomial infection of MDRO and improve the quality of health care.

EphA1,the first member of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family,not only plays a pivotal role in embryonic development and angiogenesis,but also expresses in some types of adult human tissues.Its specific characteristics of Eph/ephrin binding and the Eph/ephrin signaling transduction are fundamentally involved in tumor initiation,progression and metastasis.The expression levels of EphA1 vary considerably in different types of normal tissues and tumors,or even in different phases of tumor development,suggestive of its functional pluralism.Intensive studies of EphA1 on angiogenesis,carcinogenesis and metastasis may provide a method for the early diagnosis and a potential target for the treatment of cancers.

Castleman's disease(CD),known as giant lymph node hyperplasia,is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder,whose etiology has not been definitively established.Clinically CD is categorized into unicentric and multicentric,and histologically,subdivided into three subtypes,hyaline vascular variant,plasma cell variant and mixed variant.Different variants usually require inconsistent therapeutic measures and have different prognoses.The present paper gives an overview of the pathogenesis,treatment and prognosis of CD,with emphasis on the stroma-rich variant,a special subtype of CD of the hyaline vascular variant.

In this paper are discussed the relationships between the infiltrating distances and the pathological types of gastric cancer by measuring the excised specimens of middle and dvanced stages in 50 cases.It is confirmed that the infiltrating distances vary according to the pathohistolog-ical types. The tubular adenocarcinoma may be divided into two subtypes: the large tubular adenocarcinoma and the small tubular adenocarcinoma. In all pathohistological types of gastric cancer the undifferentiated carcinoma, "signet-ring" cell carcinoma and tubular adenocarcinoma infiltrated farther, and the papillary adenocarcinoma and the small tubular adenocarcinoma into a less.The infiltraing type and gastric sinus carcinoma have tendency to infiltrate farther which can be observed with naked eye.These results may offered some assistance in the surgical treatment of gastric cancer.

Objective To compare the efficacy of laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and open surgery with early stage cervical cancer in elderly patients.Methods Performed a retrospective study of 195 cases underwent surgical treatment of early stage cervical cancer in elderly patients.According to different approach,the patients were divided into laparoscopic group (66 cases) and open group (129 cases).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,number of resected lymph nodes,bowel function recovery time,postoperative hospital stay and postoperative complications was compared between two groups.Results The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,bowel function recovery time,postoperative hospital stay in laparoscopic group were significantly shorter than those in open group [(237.6 ±46.9) min vs.(259.3 ± 76.7) min,(214.7 ± 104.8) ml vs.(283.4 ± 137.2) ml,(1.9 ± 1.2) d vs.(2.8 ± 1.5) d,(4.1 ± 3.5) d vs.(6.7 ± 1.4) d,P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01].There was no significant difference in number of resected lymph nodes and postoperative complications between laparoscopic group and open group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Laparoscopic radical hysterectomy is both safe and effective in elderly patients with early stage cervical cancer.
