Currently, there are limited studies on C-SCLC, and there is no uniform standard treatment, especially for extensive C-SCLC, which still faces great challenges. In recent years, the development and progress of immunotherapy have provided more possibilities for the treatment of C-SCLC. We used immunotherapy combined with first-line chemotherapy to treat extensive-stage C-SCLC to explore its antitumor activity and safety.CASE SUMMARY We report a case of C-SCLC that presented early with adrenal, rib, and mediastinal lymph node metastases. The patient received carboplatin and etoposide with concurrent initiation of envafolimab. After 6 cycles of chemotherapy, the lung lesion was significantly reduced, and the comprehensive efficacy evaluation showed a partial response. No serious drug-related adverse events occurred during the treatment, and the drug regimen was well tolerated.CONCLUSION Envafolimab combined with carboplatin and etoposide in the treatment of extensive-stage C-SCLC has preliminary antitumor activity and good safety and tolerability.展开更多

METHODS: Recombinant plasmid psiI-HBV was constructed and transfected into HepG2.2.15 cells. At 48 h, 72 h and 96 h after transfection, culture media were collected and cells were harvested for HBV replication assay. HBsAg and HBeAg in the cell culture medium were detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA). Intracellular viral DNA and covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). HBV viral mRNA was reverse transcribed and quantified by reverse-transcript PCR (RT-PCR). RESULTS: siRNAs showed marked anti-HBV effects. siRNAs could specifically inhibit the expression of HBsAg and the replication of HBV DNA in a dosedependent manner. Furthermore, combination of siRNAs, compared with individual use of each siRNA, exerted a stronger inhibition on antigen expression and viral replication. More importantlycombination of siRNAs significantly suppressed HBV cccDNA amplification. CONCLUSION: Combination of siRNAs mediates a stronger inhibition on viral replication and antigenexpression in HepG2.2.15 cells, especially on cccDNA amplification.展开更多

Our study is to investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of C-SCLC, as well as the role of multimodality treatment.Methods: Between January 2004 and December 2012, patients with histologically diagnosed C-SCLC were retrospectively analyzed. The survivals were evaluated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate potential prognostic factors.Results: One hundred and fourteen patients were enrolled, with a median age of 59 (range: 20-79) years old. The most common combined component was squamous cell carcinoma (52.6%). Among these patients, the disease was stage I, II, III and IV in 9.6%, 19.3%, 46.5% and 24.6% of the patients, respectively. Eighty patients (70.2%) received at least two of the three modalities containing chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. The median follow-up was 32.5 months. The median time of overall survival (OS) was 26.2 months. On univariate analysis, smoking (P=0.029), Karnofsky performance score (KPS) 〈80 (P=0.000), advanced TNM stage (P=0.000), no surgery (P=0.010), positive resection margin (P=0.000), positive lymph nodes ≥4 (P=0.000), positive lymph node ratio 〉10% (P=0.000) and non-multimodality treatment (P=0.004) were associated with poor OS. Multivariate analysis confirmed that smoking, advanced TNM stage, positive resection margin and positive lymph nodes ratio 〉 10% were poor prognostic features. Conclusions: C-SCLC has a relatively early stage and good prognosis, which may due to the underestimated diagnosis in non-surgical patients. Multimodality therapy is recommended, especially for limited disease. Smoking, advanced TNM stage, positive resection margin and positive lymph nodes ratio 〉10% are poor prognostic factors.展开更多

The reliability evaluation includes characters such as long test period,high cost,and high power loss and so on. Based on the principle of energy-saving and power recovery,a small sample hydraulic pump reliability test rig is built,and the service life of hydraulic pump is predicted,and then the sampling period of reliability test is optimized. On the basis of considering the performance degradation mechanism of hydraulic pump,the feature information of degradation distribution of hydraulic pump volumetric efficiency during the test is collected,so an optimal degradation path model of feature information is selected from the aspect of fitting accuracy,and pseudo life data are obtained. Then a small sample reliability test of period constrained optimization search strategy for hydraulic pump is constructed to solve the optimization problem of the test sampling period and tightening end threshold,and it is verified that the accuracy of the minimum sampling period by the non-parametric hypothes is tested. Simulation result shows it could possess instructional significance and referenced value for hydraulic pump reliability life evaluation and the test's research and design.展开更多

METHODS: A model of liver/small bowel transplantation (LSBT) was established in closed colony SD and Wistar rats. The activity of enzymes including triphosphatase (ATPase), alkalinophosphatase (AKP), acytelcholinesterase (AchE), oxidesynthase (NOS) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) in bowel grafts was studied histochemically at regular postoperative intervals. RESULTS: The activity of enzymes in the wall of the grafts disappeared eventually in isolated small bowel transplantation (SBT) rats. In contrast, the activity in LSBT rats remained and recovered postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The rejection in grafted intestine could be prevented or delayed in LSBT rats. The changes in the activity of enzymes and neurons might be used to detect the rejection and function of the graft.展开更多

Methods: Forty-four patients (GC regimen, n = 29;PC regimen, n = 15) received gemcitabine at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, and carboplatin with the target dose of area under the curve (AUC) of 4 on day 8 every 28 days and paclitaxel at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, and carboplatin with the target dose of AUC of 5 on day 1 every 28 days. Results: A total of 130 cycles of the treatment were administered (averaged, 3.1 in GC arm and 2.7 cycles in PC arm). Forty-three patients (97.7%) completed the scheduled cycles. One patient (2.3%) was discontinued due to grade 4 pneumonia. The dose was reduced in 2 patients (4.5%) due to grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was significantly observed in the PC group (GC: 12/29, 41.4%;PC: 11/15, 73.3%, p = 0.0443). The nonhematological toxicities were mild. Grade 1/2 alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the GC group was significantly observed higher compared to those of the PC group (GC: 20/29, 69.0%;PC: 4/15, 26.7%, p = 0.0076). Grade 1/2 alopecia was significantly observed in the PC group (GC: 0/25, 0.0%;PC: 13/15, 86.7%, p 0.0001). There was no treatment-related death. The median survival time (MST) of the entire GC group was 784 days, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 75.9%, and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 65.5%. The MST of the entire PC group was 963 days, the 3-year OS was 80.0%, and the 3-year RFS was 60.0%. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the GC and PC combination chemotherapies are efficacious and feasible regimens, which should be considered as one of the standard therapies for adjuvant therapy.展开更多

The process exhibited high removal efficiencies for carbonaceous substances, nitrogen and phosphorus which mainly took place in the combined SBF-AS biore- actor. The SBF-AS bioreactor was divided into pre-anoxic, anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic zones from inlet to outlet, in which fixed biofilm carriers were packed. Excellent performance had been obtained under normal operating conditions in more than one year of operation in Dong' e municipal WWTP, Shandong province, with mean removal efficiencies of BOD5 93.4%, COD 88%, SS 92%, NH4 - N 82. 1%, TP 75% and TN 66.7%, and quite high effluent quality such as BOD5 6 to 10 rag/L, COD 20 to 40 rag/L, SS 5 to 10 rag/L, TN 10 to 20 rag/L, NH4 - N 4 to 8 mg/L and TP 0. 6 to 1.0 mg/L. The effluent was reused multi-purposely, such as toilet flushing, green belt watering and artificial lake pounding. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification took place due to the DO gradient in biofilm in aerobic zone of the SBF-AS bioreactor, which made TN removal efficiency improved remarkably in system. Some activated sludge was returned from final clarifiers to the bioreactor for phosphorus removal. The process had the advantages of low investment and low operational/ maintenance (O/M) costs, low sludge yield and was preferably employed in small towns and cities.展开更多

Methods: One hundred cases with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups. The treated group (n=50) received CT combined with TCM, and the control group received CT alone. The percentage of T lymphocyte subset in peripheral blood and the change of natural killer (NK) cell count were observed after treatment. The QOL and tolerance of CT were also compared between the two groups after treatment. Results: In the treated group, CD3 cell count, CD4 cell count, CD4/ CDg ratio and NK cell activity were higher than those in control group, while CD8 cell count in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and QOL and tolerance of CT in the treated group were also better (P<0.05). Conclusion: TCM combined with CT could raise the patients' ability in tolerating CT in stage Ⅲ-ⅣNSCLC.展开更多

Methods: The fresh tumor samples were transplanted in the right scapular subcutaneous layer of the severe combined immunodeficient Non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient(NOD/SCID) mice. The pathological features of the tumors were observed. Nonnecrotic tissue was inoculated subcutaneously into the right axillary. When the tumor in burdened rat grew approximately 100 mm3, according to the tumor size all the animals were divided into the following four groups, eight rats in each group: solvent control group, gefitinib group(100 mg/kg), erlotinib group(50 mg/kg), afatinib group(20 mg/kg). Aniamals were treated with drugs by intragastric(i.g.) administrated, once daily, for consecutively 14 days. Measure the tumor size 2-3 times every week. Results: Hu Prime1-NSCLC mutant sensitive xenograft model research data showed that reversible tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib, erlotinib and irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor afatinib could effectively inhibit tumor growth in EGFR positive NSCLC allografts model. The pharmacodynamic activity of irreversible inhibitor was better than that of the reversible inhibitor. Specimens from clinical anthropogenic tumor retain characteristics of the human primary malignancy, histopathology, biological characteristics, and tumor markers, etc., which can more accurately reflect the characteristics of the tumor and the impact of interventions. Conclusion: The model is not only a good antitumor drug experimental platform, but also a new evaluation tool of individualized medication.展开更多

Eighty patients (70.2%) received at least two of the three modalities containing chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. The median follow-up was 32.5 months. The median time of overall survival (OS) was 26.2 months. On univariate analysis, smoking (P=0.029), Karnofsky performance score (KPS) 〈80 (P=0.000), advanced TNM stage (P=0.000), no surgery (P=0.010), positive resection margin (P=0.000), positive lymph nodes ≥4 (P=0.000), positive lymph node ratio 〉10% (P=0.000) and non-multimodality treatment (P=0.004) were associated with poor OS. Multivariate analysis confirmed that smoking, advanced TNM stage, positive resection margin and positive lymph nodes ratio 〉 10% were poor prognostic features. Conclusions: C-SCLC has a relatively early stage and good prognosis, which may due to the underestimated diagnosis in non-surgical patients. Multimodality therapy is recommended, especially for limited disease. Smoking, advanced TNM stage, positive resection margin and positive lymph nodes ratio 〉10% are poor prognostic factors.

文摘Hydraulic pumps belong to reliable long-life hydraulic components. The reliability evaluation includes characters such as long test period,high cost,and high power loss and so on. Based on the principle of energy-saving and power recovery,a small sample hydraulic pump reliability test rig is built,and the service life of hydraulic pump is predicted,and then the sampling period of reliability test is optimized. On the basis of considering the performance degradation mechanism of hydraulic pump,the feature information of degradation distribution of hydraulic pump volumetric efficiency during the test is collected,so an optimal degradation path model of feature information is selected from the aspect of fitting accuracy,and pseudo life data are obtained. Then a small sample reliability test of period constrained optimization search strategy for hydraulic pump is constructed to solve the optimization problem of the test sampling period and tightening end threshold,and it is verified that the accuracy of the minimum sampling period by the non-parametric hypothes is tested. Simulation result shows it could possess instructional significance and referenced value for hydraulic pump reliability life evaluation and the test's research and design.

文摘OBJECTIVES: To investigate the activity alterations of enzymes in intestine grafts after liver/small bowel transplantation in rats and the relations of these changes to immune rejection of grafts. METHODS: A model of liver/small bowel transplantation (LSBT) was established in closed colony SD and Wistar rats. The activity of enzymes including triphosphatase (ATPase), alkalinophosphatase (AKP), acytelcholinesterase (AchE), oxidesynthase (NOS) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) in bowel grafts was studied histochemically at regular postoperative intervals. RESULTS: The activity of enzymes in the wall of the grafts disappeared eventually in isolated small bowel transplantation (SBT) rats. In contrast, the activity in LSBT rats remained and recovered postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS: The rejection in grafted intestine could be prevented or delayed in LSBT rats. The changes in the activity of enzymes and neurons might be used to detect the rejection and function of the graft.
文摘BACKGROUND Ligamentoid fibromatosis is a rare borderline tumor that occurs in the muscles,fascia,and aponeurosis.It is a kind of soft tissue tumor of fibrous origin,also known as invasive fibromatosis,desmoid fibroma,neurofibromatosis,etc.The tumor is between benign and malignant tumors and rarely has distant metastasis.Its characteristics are mainly local invasion,destruction and growth and easy recurrence.The World Health Organization defines it as a fibroblast cloning value-added lesion originating from deep soft tissue,which causes local invasion and growth leading to tissue reconstruction,extrusion and destruction of important structures and organs.The incidence rate accounts for 0.03%of all tumors and less than 3%of all soft tissue tumors.Definite diagnosis mainly depends on postoperative pathology.Surgical resection is still the main way to treat the disease,and a variety of nonsurgical treatment methods are auxiliary.Combined treatment can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.CASE SUMMARY The patient is a 57-year-old female.One week ago,she accidentally found a mass in the left upper abdomen while lying flat.There was no abdominal pain and abdominal distention,no fever,no black stool and blood in the stool and no nausea and vomiting.She had a 10-year history of glaucoma on the left side,underwent hysterectomy for uterine fibroids 5 years ago,had no hypertension,heart disease,diabetes,hepatitis or tuberculosis,had no history of smoking and had been drinking for 20 years.CONCLUSION Accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult,surgical resection is the main treatment,and a variety of nonsurgical treatment methods are auxiliary.Combined treatment can effectively reduce the risk of postoperative recurrence.The prognosis is still good,and the risk of recurrence of secondary surgery is greatly increased.
文摘Background: This retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of gemcitabine plus carboplatin (GC regimen) and paclitaxel plus carboplatin (PC regimen) combination chemotherapy administered as an adjuvant therapy after complete resection of non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: Forty-four patients (GC regimen, n = 29;PC regimen, n = 15) received gemcitabine at a dose of 1000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8, and carboplatin with the target dose of area under the curve (AUC) of 4 on day 8 every 28 days and paclitaxel at a dose of 70 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, and carboplatin with the target dose of AUC of 5 on day 1 every 28 days. Results: A total of 130 cycles of the treatment were administered (averaged, 3.1 in GC arm and 2.7 cycles in PC arm). Forty-three patients (97.7%) completed the scheduled cycles. One patient (2.3%) was discontinued due to grade 4 pneumonia. The dose was reduced in 2 patients (4.5%) due to grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Grade 3/4 neutropenia was significantly observed in the PC group (GC: 12/29, 41.4%;PC: 11/15, 73.3%, p = 0.0443). The nonhematological toxicities were mild. Grade 1/2 alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in the GC group was significantly observed higher compared to those of the PC group (GC: 20/29, 69.0%;PC: 4/15, 26.7%, p = 0.0076). Grade 1/2 alopecia was significantly observed in the PC group (GC: 0/25, 0.0%;PC: 13/15, 86.7%, p 0.0001). There was no treatment-related death. The median survival time (MST) of the entire GC group was 784 days, the 3-year overall survival (OS) was 75.9%, and 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 65.5%. The MST of the entire PC group was 963 days, the 3-year OS was 80.0%, and the 3-year RFS was 60.0%. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the GC and PC combination chemotherapies are efficacious and feasible regimens, which should be considered as one of the standard therapies for adjuvant therapy.
文摘The combined submerged biofilm ( SBF)-activated sludge (AS) process for treatment of municipal wastewater in a small city in China is described in this paper. The process exhibited high removal efficiencies for carbonaceous substances, nitrogen and phosphorus which mainly took place in the combined SBF-AS biore- actor. The SBF-AS bioreactor was divided into pre-anoxic, anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic zones from inlet to outlet, in which fixed biofilm carriers were packed. Excellent performance had been obtained under normal operating conditions in more than one year of operation in Dong' e municipal WWTP, Shandong province, with mean removal efficiencies of BOD5 93.4%, COD 88%, SS 92%, NH4 - N 82. 1%, TP 75% and TN 66.7%, and quite high effluent quality such as BOD5 6 to 10 rag/L, COD 20 to 40 rag/L, SS 5 to 10 rag/L, TN 10 to 20 rag/L, NH4 - N 4 to 8 mg/L and TP 0. 6 to 1.0 mg/L. The effluent was reused multi-purposely, such as toilet flushing, green belt watering and artificial lake pounding. Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification took place due to the DO gradient in biofilm in aerobic zone of the SBF-AS bioreactor, which made TN removal efficiency improved remarkably in system. Some activated sludge was returned from final clarifiers to the bioreactor for phosphorus removal. The process had the advantages of low investment and low operational/ maintenance (O/M) costs, low sludge yield and was preferably employed in small towns and cities.
文摘Objective: To observe and compare the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combined with chemotherapy (CT) on immune function and quality of life (QOL)of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ. Methods: One hundred cases with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ NSCLC were randomly divided into two groups. The treated group (n=50) received CT combined with TCM, and the control group received CT alone. The percentage of T lymphocyte subset in peripheral blood and the change of natural killer (NK) cell count were observed after treatment. The QOL and tolerance of CT were also compared between the two groups after treatment. Results: In the treated group, CD3 cell count, CD4 cell count, CD4/ CDg ratio and NK cell activity were higher than those in control group, while CD8 cell count in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (P<0.05), and QOL and tolerance of CT in the treated group were also better (P<0.05). Conclusion: TCM combined with CT could raise the patients' ability in tolerating CT in stage Ⅲ-ⅣNSCLC.

文摘Objective: To study the treatmaient of non-small cell lung cancer, we established the HU-Prim allograft transplantation tumor model. Methods: The fresh tumor samples were transplanted in the right scapular subcutaneous layer of the severe combined immunodeficient Non-obese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient(NOD/SCID) mice. The pathological features of the tumors were observed. Nonnecrotic tissue was inoculated subcutaneously into the right axillary. When the tumor in burdened rat grew approximately 100 mm3, according to the tumor size all the animals were divided into the following four groups, eight rats in each group: solvent control group, gefitinib group(100 mg/kg), erlotinib group(50 mg/kg), afatinib group(20 mg/kg). Aniamals were treated with drugs by intragastric(i.g.) administrated, once daily, for consecutively 14 days. Measure the tumor size 2-3 times every week. Results: Hu Prime1-NSCLC mutant sensitive xenograft model research data showed that reversible tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib, erlotinib and irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor afatinib could effectively inhibit tumor growth in EGFR positive NSCLC allografts model. The pharmacodynamic activity of irreversible inhibitor was better than that of the reversible inhibitor. Specimens from clinical anthropogenic tumor retain characteristics of the human primary malignancy, histopathology, biological characteristics, and tumor markers, etc., which can more accurately reflect the characteristics of the tumor and the impact of interventions. Conclusion: The model is not only a good antitumor drug experimental platform, but also a new evaluation tool of individualized medication.
