Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of cryoablation combined with Camrelizumab monoclonal antibody in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods A total of 103 HCC patients who were admitted to our hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were enrolled and randomly divided into combined treatment group with 53 patients and control group with 50 patients.The patients in the control group received percutaneous argon-helium cryoablation,and those in the combined treatment group received percutaneous argon-helium cryoablation combined with Camrelizumab monoclonal antibody.The two groups were compared in terms of short-term response,changes in T lymphocyte subsets after treatment,changes in liver function and alpha-fetoprotein(AFP)after treatment,and progression-free survival and overall survival during follow-up.The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups,and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curves,and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival time between the two groups.Results The combined treatment group had significantly higher overall response rate and disease control rate than the control group(χ2=4.156 and 4.348,P=0.042 and 0.037).After treatment,the combined treatment group had significant increases in the percentages of CD3+and CD4+T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ratio(P＜0.05)and a significant reduction in the percentage of CD8+T lymphocytes(P＜0.05),while the control group had no significant changes in T lymphocyte subsets after treatment(P＞0.05),and compared with the control group after treatment,the combined treatment group had significantly higher percentages of CD3+and CD4+T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ratio(all P＜0.05)and a significantly lower percentage of CD8+T lymphocytes(P＜0.05).After treatment,both groups had significant reductions in the levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),and AFP(all P＜0.05)and a significant increase in the level of albumin(Alb)(P＞0.05),and compared with the control group after treatment,the combined treatment group had significantly lower levels of ALT,AST,and AFP(all P＜0.05)and a significantly higher level of Alb(P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of grade Ⅲ—Ⅳ(moderate to severe)adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the combined treatment group had significantly better median progression-free survival(21.32 months vs 15.31 months,χ2=4.689,P=0.030)and median overall survival(28.36 months vs 20.75 months,χ2=5.030,P=0.025).Conclusion Argon-helium cryoablation combined with Camrelizumab monoclonal antibody can effectively improve short-term response,enhance immune function,and prolong survival time,with a favorable safety profile.

Objective:To investigate whether the bladder neck descent and the area of levator ani hiatus obtained on the maximum Valsalva were consistent at the lithotomy position and separating-legs-holding-knees position.Methods:Forty four subjects who underwent perineal pelvic floor four-dimensional ultrasound at 6-8 weeks postpartum in Third Hospital of Longgang Shenzhen from November 2019 to January 2020 were enrolled in this study. All subjects were able to effectively complete the maximum Valsalva maneuver both at the lithotomy position and the separating-legs-holding-knees position. The bladder neck descent and hiatus area of the levator Ani on the maximum Valsalva at these two positions were measured and compared.Results:The bladder neck descent at the separating-legs-holding-knees position was higher than that at the lithotomy position [(41.06±8.25)mm vs (39.96±8.10)mm; t=-2.965, P=0.005], and the hiatus area of levator Ani at the separating-legs-holding-knees position was larger than that at the lithotomy position[(27.55±4.90)cm 2 vs (26.32±4.76)cm 2; t=-3.820, P<0.001]. Conclusions:The bladder neck descent and the area of levator Ani hiatus on the maximum Valsalva at separating-legs- holding-knees position are larger than those on the maximum Valsalva at the lithotomy position.

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP) on the mortality and early complications of premature infants. Methods: The general clinical data of preterm infants with gestational age 24-36^{+ 6} weeks were collected from the cooperative units in the task group from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2014.According to the severity of HDCP, the infants were divided into 4 groups: HDCP group, preeclampsia group, eclampsia group and non HDCP group, the mortality and major complications of preterm infants were compared, and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results: The mortality rate of preterm in the HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ²=9.970, P=0.019). Eclampsia had a highest fatality rate (4.8%) in the early stage, compared with non HDCP group (2.2%), and the difference was statistically significant.Comparison of HDCP group (1.8%) and eclampsia group (3.2%) suggested that there was no statistically significant difference.The incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group, and there was statistical significance (χ²=13.241, P=0.004). Eclampsia group showed the highest incidence (35.4%), compared with non HDCP group (16.2%), the difference was statistically significant, but compared with HDCP group (19.9%), preeclampsia group (17.1%), there was no significant diffe-rence.The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm in HDCP group was significantly higher than that of non HDCP group (χ²=9.592, P=0.022), the highest incidence showed up in eclampsia group (9.7%), compared with non HDCP group (2.0%) and HDCP group (1.7%), the difference was statistically significant.But there was no statistically significant difference, compared with preeclampsia group.As the degree of HDCP aggravated, the incidence of BPD gradually rose.There was no significant impact on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and sepsis of HDCP (χ²=7.054, 7.214, 0.358, 3.852; P=0.070, 0.065, 0.949, 0.278). Considering the overall outcome of the child, that was, whether the child died or survived, he had at least one complication, and HDCP had an effect on it (χ²=15.697, P=0.001), so the incidence increased while the degree of HDCP rose gradually.After adjusting gestational age, birth weight, sex, way of delivery, placental abruption and front placenta, prenatal hormonal, gestational diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and other factors, the results displayed that HDCP was the factor leading to the death of premature baby (OR=2.159, 95%CI: 1.093-4.266), and comparison between preeclampsia and eclampsia showed no statistical difference (P=0.714, 0.389); HDCP had no significant influence on RDS, BDP, ICH, NEC, ROP and sepsis. Conclusions HDCP leads to increased risk of premature death, but also leads to the increased incidence of RDS and BPD, but it had no obvious effect on NEC, ROP, IVH, sepsis and other complications.

In order to guarantee the safety and accuracy of the whole treating process as well as better link up of each section during the treatment, we did research in order to establish a project concerning the process quality control (PQC) of treating liver cancer with CyberKnife. From the safety and accuracy point of view, we divided the whole process of treating liver cancer with CyberKnife into ten links, i.e. the registration of patients' information, the im plantation of fiducial markers, fixation of body posture, CT localization, target delineation, design of the treatment plan, quality assurance in physics, implementation of the treatment plan, inspection on the correctness and data archiving. We analyzed the possible mistakes in each link and the consequences brought by them. To smoothly connect all the links, a special part "Attention" was added between every two links. Various wrong operations which may influence the safety and accuracy of treatment were illustrated, and the consequences brought by them were also ex plained. The "Attention" part among links offers important information for the next step, and gives us reminding and warnings. The project of quality control covers all the important links when treating liver cancer with Cy berKnife. It offers regulations, reminding and warning for us so that the safety and accuracy of treatment can be guaranteed, and the work of all staff could be closely connected.

Objective To compare the effect of three cryoprotectants on vitrification-cryopreservation of C57BL/6J mouse epididymis.Method Epididymises from 6-8-week old male C57BL/6J mice (age) were cryopreserved using DMSO, PROH and R18S3 cryoprotectant solution and thawed , respectively.The morphology of sperm from thawed epididy-mis, the rate of post-thawing survival and reproductive capacity were determined to evaluate the freezing efficiency of the three cryoprotectants .Results The sperms from thawed epididymis of the three groups were all well-preserved structural-ly.The survival rate of sperms was 88.17%, 61.17% and 16.83% in the PROH, DMSO and R18S3 cryoprotectant solu-tions, respectively, and there were significant differences between the three cryopreservation groups (P<0.05 for all). The number of pups from the DMSO , PROH and R18S3 groups were 13, 8 and 17 mice after ICSI and embryo implantation , respectively.Conclusions All the three cryoprotectants DMSO , PROH and R18S3 solutions are suitable for vitrification-cryopreservation of C57BL/6J mouse epididymis.But PROH is the preference of these cryoprotectant solutions .

Objective To compare the effects of different transplantation sites on the outcome of testicular grafts in mice, and to provide a basis for development and application of this technique in relevant research .Method 5-day old and 4-week old SPF male C57BL/6J mice were used in this study .Three groups of testicular transplantation , i.e.dorsal subcutaneous transplantation ( 5 mice, 40 testes ) , transplantation inside the testicular tunica albuginea ( 6 mice, 12 testes), and were subrenal capsule transplantation (10 mice,15 testes) groups were set up for evaluating the effect of transplantation site on the outcomes in mice .Sham operation (4 mice) and castration (4 mice) groups were also used in this study.The mice were sacrificed at 8 weeks after transplantation and the transplanted testes were collected for analysis of their weight, transplant survival, weight gain, and germ cell differentiation.Results There were significant differences of the testicular germ cell differentiation in different transplantation groups .The germ cell differentiation was best in the in-tra-tunica albuginea transplantation group , and were similar to that in the sham operation group .The germ cell differentia-tion rate was 100%in the intra-tunica albuginea transplantation group , 29.2% in the subcutaneous transplantation group and 0%in the subrenal capsule transplantation group .Conclusions Transplantation beneath the testicular tunica albug-inea is the most favorable site for germ cell differentiation , and dorsal subcutaneous transplantation is an alternative choice . Subrenal capsule transplantation is not appropriate for preservation of male reproductive organs in mice .

Objective:To give the test in cases of changing the conditions of measurement and reference value, compare the test results, and detect the capacity of QuickCheck, so as to offer reference for the daily morning check of accelerator and the evaluation of test results. Methods:Change the output dose, field size, SSD, angle of collimator and gantry angle of the accelerator, and then evaluate QuickCheck’s capacity of monitoring accelerator accordingly. Compare the field parameters measured by QuickCheck with the data from the 3D water tank. Results:When the output dose was 1 cGy higher than the reference value or 6 cGy lower than it, the field size expanded or contracted more than 2 cm simutaneouly, SSD was 2 cm higher or 1 cm lower than reference value, the collimator rotated more than 2 °, the gantry angle rotated more than 6 °, and then the test results of QuickCheck surpassed threshold. Comparing the measuring results of QuickCheck with 3D water tank, the difference between the flatness of the two was 3.84%, symmetry (G/T) 0.67%, symmetry (L/R) 0.47%and dose rate 1.2 MU/min. Conclusion:QuickCheck is rather accurate in testing the output dose, field size, angle of collimator, flatness, symmetry and dose rate, so it could meet the requirement of accelerator’s daily QA. However, its capability is relatively poor on examining SSD and the deviation of gantry angle.
