复发性脑胶质瘤及其放射治疗

1976～1986年肿瘤科收治脑胶质瘤42例,10例复发,其中6例采用单纯放疗,用~60钴γ线。5例脑胶质瘤予肿瘤区局部照射,DT44～57Gy/6-7周,1例髓母细胞瘤予全脑、肿瘤区及全脊髓照射、脑中平面量DT38Gy/5周;肿瘤区51Gy/7周;脊髓18Gy/8周。结果:有效1例,显效2例,无效3例。本研究提示对于已不能釆用其他手段治疗的复发病人,放疗仍有一定效果。     

齐墩果酸免疫治疗恶性肿瘤病人的临床Ⅱ期研究

前瞻性双盲法临床研究,可评价的恶性肿瘤病人28例,口服齐墩果酸40mg,每日3次,1个月后测定吞噬细胞百分比,由54.1％提高至67.42％。吞噬指数由0.69提高至0.81。迟发超敏反应1:1000浓度转阳性率52.6％(10/19)。E-玫瑰花结试验在本组试验前后无显著变化。同期服用安慰剂的9例对照病人则无变化。治疗后齐墩果酸对骨髓、肝、肾功能均无影响,故可做为比较理想的生物反应调节剂应用于临床,以促进病人的免疫功能。     

Efficacy of Lung Cancer Screening; Comparison of Results from a Case-Control Study and a Survival Analysis

A case-control study to evaluate the efficacy of lung cancer screening conducted by us showed that lung cancer screening may reduce the mortality of the disease up to 28%. Assuming this efficacy is unbiased, and that the screening rate is 51.6%, which was observed in the control group in the above study, the number of lung cancer deaths prevented by screening in the study period was calculated to be 47 for males and females combined. In the same study population, screen-detected lung cancer patients (N = 207) in the same study period were followed and the 7-year survival rate (46.9%) was compared to the 5-year survival rate (11.3%) obtained by the Osaka Cancer Registry, in which screen-detected lung cancer patients were only 1.8%. The number of lung cancer deaths prevented by screening, estimated by the difference in the above two survival rates, was 74 (95% confidence interval; 55–93). The number of lung cancer deaths prevented by screening estimated from the case-control study was significantly lower than that estimated from the survival analysis. This indicates that the efficacy of lung cancer screening estimated by the case-control study was within the range that could be explained by the actual long-term survivors among the screen-detected patients in the study population.     

头颈部恶性肿瘤诊断治疗指南

恶性肿瘤是威胁人类生存的第一杀手,就头颈肿瘤来说虽然发病率在我国并不高,但由于我国人口众多,发病率的绝对数字也是不可忽视的。当今提倡晚期头颈肿瘤的综合序列治疗,患者的生存率及生存质量已有很大的提高,由于我国的地域差异和医学发展水平的不平衡,对于头颈肿瘤的治疗难以形成统一的治疗标准,目前国内也缺少头颈肿瘤的诊断治疗指南,客观存在着肿瘤的诊断治疗欠规范,延误诊治、过度治疗、治疗不够等现状,这不仅导致医疗资源的浪费和国家及个人的经济负担加重,而且由此导致的医患纠纷时有发生。鉴于此,本期刊出由上海交通大学医学院附属第九人民医院·口腔医学院郭伟等医师编译的2005年美国国立癌症综合信息网(National Comprehensive Cancer Network,NCCN)公布的由NCCN头颈肿瘤专家组31位专家撰写的关于头颈部恶性肿瘤诊断治疗指南的有关内容,旨在结合我国实际情况供专业人员参考。     

激光多普勒技术测定组织血流及其在高温治癌研究中的意义

应用激光多普勒血流仪测量比较津白Ⅱ号小鼠三个部位皮肤的血流,观察HDZ对血流的影响,评价了HDZ的体内热增敏作用。结果发现,同一小鼠不同部位的血流是不同的,同一部位的连续6天结果无何区别。但同部位小鼠间的血流差别可达1倍以上。提示了预测放、化、热疗的疗效时,监测个体血流的前后变化有重要意义。2.5mg/kg以上的HDZ可以明显降低血流75％左右。HDZ与高温联合应用时对肿瘤显示了热增敏效应。     

Static footprint analysis: a time-saving functional evaluation of nerve repair in rats.

Walking track analysis is a widely accepted technique for functional evaluation after sciatic nerve repair in rats, but it is labour-intensive. In 2000, Bervar described a time-saving digitised static footprint analysis. In that study there were good correlations between the traditional sciatic function index (SFI) and the newly-developed static sciatic index (SSI) and static toe spread factor (TSF), respectively. Despite promising results, static footprint analysis is still not widely used. The present study was designed to validate it. After transection of the sciatic nerve, end-to-end repair was assessed using video recorded dynamic and static footprints in 45 Wistar rats. We found an even better correlation between the SFI and both the SSI and the static TSF. In conclusion, static footprint analysis is a time-saving and easy technique for accurate functional assessment of peripheral nerve regeneration in rats.     

卵巢宫内膜样腺癌的病理组织学及组织化学分析

本文通过对２４肺卵巢宫内膜样腺癌的巨检，镜及组织化学染色等结果分析，提出按该瘤所含组织成分，将其分为单纯型及混合型两大类。单纯型中分化程度不同又再分成Ⅰ，Ⅱ，ⅢⅣ级。混合型中根据所含成分又再分为腺棘癌，腺鳞癌，透明细胞腺癌型，含粘液腺癌型及含浆液腺癌型。讨论了该瘤的临床表现，发病率，组织来源，病理特征，诊断步骤及各类型与预后之间的关系。     

Exploring cancer register data to find risk factors for recurrence of breast cancer – application of Canonical Correlation Analysis

Background  

A common approach in exploring register data is to find relationships between outcomes and predictors by using multiple regression analysis (MRA). If there is more than one outcome variable, the analysis must then be repeated, and the results combined in some arbitrary fashion. In contrast, Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) has the ability to analyze multiple outcomes at the same time.     

Evolution of age at menarche and at onset of regular cycling in a large cohort of French women

BACKGROUND: Early exposure to ovarian hormones is considered to increase breast cancer incidence. The age at which the ovaries become functional is thus important. METHODS: We explored the evolution of age at first menstruation and at onset of regular cycling in 86 031 women participating in the E3N-EPIC cohort study, part of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer. RESULTS: We observed an increase in mean age at menarche among women born between 1925 and 1930, followed by a steady decrease in the youngest birth cohorts. In contrast, age at onset of regular cycling increased gradually from 1925 onwards. There was thus a steady increase in the interval between age at menarche and at onset of regular cycling, mainly due to an increase in the percentage of women in whom regular cycling started at least 5 years after menarche (from 9.0% among women born in 1925-1929 to 20.8% in those born in 1945-1950). The increase in the interval between menarche and onset of regular cycling was even greater among women with a late menarche. CONCLUSIONS: This increase might be due to a change in dietary intake and/or physical exercise aimed at achieving the slim silhouette desired by the younger generations.
