1.Progress of EB virus related post-transplantation lymphoproliferative diseases
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2017;26(8):498-502
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related post-transplant lymphoproliferative diseases (EBV-PTLD) is a rare and deadly complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The clinical manifestations often show the unexplained fever, swollen lymph nodes, hepatosplenomegaly, pharyngitis, and central nervous system symptoms, with rapid disease progression and high fatality rate. As allo-HSCT for treatment of complex and refractory hemopathy has made a great progress, the prevention of graft versus host disease (GVHD) requires more application of immune inhibitors, resulting in an increasing incidence rate of PTLD. In addition to conventional treatments, such as antiviral therapy, reduction of immune suppression , local surgery and traditional chemotherapy, monoclonal antibodies and adoptive immunotherapy with T-cells for treatment of PTLD have brought a profound influence. This paper reviews the latest progress of treatment of EBV-PTLD.
2.Neutrophil extracellular traps-induced endothelial cell damage in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis-associated interstitial lung disease
Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine 2017;56(9):650-654
Objective To explore the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs)-induced endothelial cell damage in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis (DM)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD).Methods Serum free DNA and krebs von den lungen-6 (KL-6) level were tested in healthy controls,dermatomyositis patients with or without interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD and DM-NILD).Subjects' peripheral blood neutrophils were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA),then human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with NETs.The cell morphology was observed by the inverted phase contrast microscope.Cell viability was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8).Results The concentration of serum free DNA in DM patients [(271.27 ± 76.53) μg/L] was significantly higher than that in health control (HC) [(152.89 ± 37.34) μg/L,P < 0.001].Moreover,free DNA level in DM-ILD patients [(302.67 ± 74.15) μg/L] was higher than that in DM-NILD patients [(235.59 ±63.55) μg/L,P <0.005].The concentration of KL-6in DM patients [(3.08 ±2.07) μg/L] was higher than that in HC [(0.87 ± 0.51) μg/L,P < 0.001].Similarly,KL-6 in DM-ILD patients [(4.00 ± 2.44) μg/L] was higher than that of DM-NILD patients [(2.03 ± 0.61) μg/L,P < 0.005].Free DNA and KL-6 were positively correlated (r =0.251,P < 0.05).The survival of endothelial cells in DM group (53 ± 11) % was lower than that of HC group [(70 ± 5) %,P < 0.001].Not surprisingly,the survival of endothelial cells in DM-ILD group (44 ±4) % was lower than that in DM-NILD group [(61 ± 8) %,P < 0.01].Conclusion NETs could play an important role in the pathogenesis of dermatomyositis associated interstitial lung disease,suggesting that NETs may be the potential therapeutic target.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of the compound of the allogeneic morselized bone and the calcium phosphate cement on repairing bone defect.MethodsThe rabbit models of bilateral radius bone defect were created. 40 rabbits were randomly divided into group A, group B and group C. Animals of the group A were implanted with the compound of the allogeneic morselized bone and the calcium phosphate cement, group B implanted with allogeneic morselized bone, and group C as blank control implanted nothing. The X-ray examination, histopatholgical examination, vascularization and biomechanics of bone defect were evaluated at 4 and 8 weeks after operation.ResultsThe repair of bone defect, quantity and rate of the new formation bone and biomechanics measurement of the group A were superior than the group B; while, no repair of bone defect was found in the group C.ConclusionThe implantation of the allogeneic morselized bone can repair bone defect, but the effect of implanting the compound of the allogeneic morselized bone and the calcium phosphate cement is better than the former.

This paper aims to establish a new method of calibration and positioning in quantitative analysis of multicomponents by single marker (QAMS), using Shuanghuanglian oral liquid as the research object. Establishing relative correction factors with reference chlorogenic acid to other 11 active components (neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, cafferic acid, forsythoside A, scutellarin, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, baicalin and phillyrin wogonoside) in Shuanghuanglian oral liquid by 3 correction methods (multipoint correction, slope correction and quantitative factor correction). At the same time chromatographic peak was positioned by linear regression method. Only one standard uas used to determine the content of 12 components in Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, in stead of needing too many reference substance in quality control. The results showed that within the linear ranges, no significant differences were found in the quantitative results of 12 active constituents in 3 batches of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid determined by 3 correction methods and external standard method (ESM) or standard curve method (SCM). And this method is simpler and quicker than literature methods. The results were accurate and reliable, and had good reproducibility. While the positioning chromatographic peaks by linear regression method was more accurate than relative retention time in literature. The slope and the quantitative factor correction controlling the quality of Chinese traditional medicine is feasible and accurate.

From 1993 to 1995,117 patients with breast masses were admitted to Ji Shun Tan Hospital. Among these patients,there were 69 cases of cancer and 48 benign lesions. Both were verified by operation and pathology. All of these cases were examined by infrared light scanning(ILS) and color doppler flow image(CDFI) before operation. The diagnostic accuracy rate increased from 62.4% to 86.3% by ILS with CDFI comparing with clinical palpation. The misdiagnostic rates of ILS with CDFI were of 4.3% on cancer and 6.3% on benign lesion. The reasons of misdiagnoses were analyzed in the paper.

Objective To measure the setup errors in thoracic esophageal carcinoma treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using kilo-voltage cone-beam CT (kV-CBCT),and to evaluate the impact of the setup errors on the dose distributions in tumor target volume and the peripheral normal tissues.Methods Twenty-one patients with thoracic esophageal carcinoma undergoing image guided IMRT (IG-IMRT) were included in this study. Using kV-CBCT,173 setup errors of these patients were acquired before treatment.By shifting the isocenters,these setup errors were simulated in the 3-dimentional treatment planning system and the corresponding impact of the dose distribution in tumor target volume and peripheral organs were evaluated.Results The translational deviations of lateral,longitudinal and vertical directions were ( 2.73 ± 1.85 ),( 3.19 ± 2.71 ),and ( 2.35 ± 1.71 ) mm,respectively.The dose of gross tumor volume (GTV) was not impacted significantly by the setup errors. However,comparing with the standard plan without setup errors,the setup errors in the simulated plan reduced the dose of 95% planning target volume (PTV) by 3.38 Gy.The dose to PTV Dmin and PTV Dmean were also reduced by 9.83 Gy and 0.65 Gy respectively. The correction of setup errors improved the conformity index (CI) and the homogeneity index (HI) for PTV.The C1 and HI for the standard plan were 0.74 ± 0.10 and 1.07 ±0.02, respectively. The C1 and H1 for the simulated plan were 0.69 ± 0.08 and 1.13 ± 0.07,respectively.Statistically significance was observed in these differences ( t =3.43 and -3.91 respectively,P < 0.05 ). No statistical significance was observed in the dose differences in lungs,spinal cord and heart between the two plans ( P > 0.05).The mean maximum dose of the spinal cord was (42.20 ± 4.97 ) Gy in the simulation plan,which was (41.37 ± 2.75 ) Gy in the standard plan.For some patients,the maximum dose of the spinal cord exceeded the tolerance level of 45 Gy in the simulation plan,and one case even reached 52.8 Gy.Conclusions Using the image guidance of kV-CBCT,the setup errors can be reduced significantly for patients with esophageal carcinoma receiving IG-IMRT.The correction of setup errors can increase the treatment precision and enhance the dose in PTV.No significant dose changes were observed in the lung,spinal cord and heart as a result of setup error correctio.
