Methods: Sixty-two patients with cerebral glioma who had residual tumor were divided into 3D-CRT group (radiotherapy group, n=31) and 3D-CRT with concurrent chemotherapy group (chemoradiotherapy group, n=31) prospectively. All patients received a dose of 50-60 Gy/25-30 F/5-6 weeks by 6 MV-X ray, three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, 1 f/d, 5 times a week. Chemotherapy regimen was Temozolomide:75 mg/m2/d, concomitantly with radiotherapy, followed by 150-200 mg/m2/d, 5 days, 28 days per cycle, totally 3-6 cycles. Results: The total response rate was 35.3% (11/31) in radiotherapy group. The response rate was 61.3% (19/31) in chemoradiotherapy group. There was significant difference in curative effect (P=0.042). There was no significant difference in survival comparison of two groups (P=0.263). Stratified analysis showed the patients with grade Ⅲ gliomas of chemoradiotherapy group had better prognosis than ones of radiotherapy group (P=0.043). Conclusion: The 3D-CRT with concurrent chemotherapy can improve the survival of cerebral gliomas with pathological grade Ⅲ.展开更多
This study investigated the independent and combined effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT), laser photodynamic hyperthermia (LPDH) and 1-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl) methy1-3-(2-chloroethyl) -3-nitrosourea hydroch...This study investigated the independent and combined effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT), laser photodynamic hyperthermia (LPDH) and 1-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl) methy1-3-(2-chloroethyl) -3-nitrosourea hydrochloride (ACNU) in a rat 9L induced gliosarcoma model. The mortality rate (MR60), mean survival time (MST60), and increasing life span (ILS60) within 60 days were determined to evaluate the therapeutic effect in vivo. The MR60 and MST60 of the gliosarcoma tumor control were 100% and 16.2 days. The ILS60s of PDT and ACNU were 72.84% and 49.81%, respectively, but MR60 of both were 86.72%. All combined treatments produced significantly prolonged survival (P<0.01). The combined effects of LPDH and ACNU, MR60, MST60, and ILS60 were 60%, 43 days, and 165.4%, respectively. The ILS60 of PDT+ACNU (96.48%) and PDT+LPDH (98.58%) also indicated a synergistic or additive effect. The survival fraction and synthetic rate of DNA, RNA, and protein of glioma 9L tumor cells in vitro after single treatment of PDT or combined with antitumor drugs and laser showed that the cytotoxicity of PDT to 9L tumor cell was obvious by using Rh123, HPD, and Pf-Ⅱ as photosensitizers. Combined treatments of PDT, antitumor drugs, and laser suppressed the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein more significantly than single treatment with PDT.展开更多
