摘要：Recently, the paper by Wang et at published in World Journal of Gastroenterology has given rise to great interest of many researchers. It is well known that hepatoma is one of the lethal diseases with a high incidence in the world, especially in Asia. radiotherapy is the main treatment modality of hepatoma in clinical practice. Unfortunately, intrinsic radiosensitivity of cancer cells is not fully understood, though a large number of papers on it are now available. Yang and colleagues 21 have developed the premature chromosome condensation technique for clinical radiotherapy of hepatoma. A precise and quick measurement of cell radiosensitivity can detect the highrisk results after exposure to a large dose.

摘要：To implant radioactive seeds through a needle precisely and safely, a novel multi-DOF surgical robotic system is presented in this paper for percutaneous prostate intervention through the patient’s perineum under real-time ultrasound image guidance. The proposed robot, which is designed with 9-DOF, consists of a 3-DOF automatic location platform for position adjustment, 2-DOF for automatic ultrasonic probe adjustment mounted with electromagnetic trackers, and 4-DOF for manually adjusting the guided template. Meanwhile, a new registration method based on the quaternion algorithm and least square method is developed, and the needle insertion is performed under the real-time guidance of a navigation system. Furthermore, the robot system has undergone some preliminary experiments with a laser tracker to evaluate the repeatability and accuracy of the robot system. The location error of the puncture needle tip can be controlled under 0.7 mm in air for the whole robotic system. The acquired results endorse the precision of the robot system for prostate seed implantation brachytherapy. © 2017, Tianjin University and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.

摘要：Oesophageal cancer is a devastating disease with poor outcomes and is the sixth leading cause of cancer death *** the setting of resectable disease,there is clear evidence that neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy result in improved ***,only 15%-30%of patients obtain a histopathological response to neoadjuvant therapy,often at the expense of significant *** are no predictive biomarkers in routine clinical use in this setting and the ability to stratify patients for treatment could dramatically improve *** this review,we aim to outline current progress in evaluating predictive transcriptomic biomarkers for neoadjuvant therapy in oesophageal cancer and discuss the challenges facing biomarker development in this *** place these issues in the wider context of recommendations for biomarker development and *** majority of studies focus on messenger RNA(mRNA)and microRNA(miRNA)*** studies report a range of different genes involved in a wide variety of pathways and biological processes,and this is explained to a large extent by the different platforms and analysis methods *** studies are also vastly underpowered so are not suitable for identifying a candidate *** molecular subtypes of oesophageal cancer have been proposed,although little is known about how these relate to clinical *** anticipate that the accumulating wealth of genomic and transcriptomic data and clinical trial collaborations in the coming years will provide unique opportunities to stratify patients in this poor-prognosis disease and recommend that future biomarker development incorporates well-designed retrospective and prospective analyses.

摘要：先前研究表明,银纳米颗粒可作为潜在的胶质瘤放疗的增敏剂,但这一作用受到自噬的限制.作为最有前途的药物递送载体之一,介孔二氧化硅纳米球由于其优异的药物负载性能、固有的生物相容性和可调节的孔径,对生物医学的发展做出了巨大贡献.在此,我们设计了一种负载自噬抑制剂3-甲基腺嘌呤的纳米银核介孔二氧化硅纳米球,其在体外和体内均表现出优异的协同抗癌作用.并且证实了抑制自噬可以进一步改善胶质瘤放疗的效果.此外,还从与氧化应激相关的核转录因子Nrf2的角度探讨了可能的机制,包括自噬抑制增强辐射诱导的氧化应激损伤以及Nrf2与自噬的相互作用.这项研究为将纳米银作为与自噬抑制剂结合用于胶质瘤放射增敏提供了一个愿景,并为其临床转化提供了一种可行的策略.

摘要：肿瘤微环境中的血管生成是肿瘤细胞对放化疗不敏感的主要原因.在本项研究中,我们设计了一种微环境响应型的纳米颗粒,利用ZrMOF的分解产物抑制肿瘤细胞中的PI3K/AKT/mTOR/VEGF通路,从而克服A549R细胞对顺铂的耐药性.我们将顺铂包裹在Zr-MOF中,并在表面修饰BSA,形成了CDDP@Zr-MOF-BSA纳米复合体,该复合体在肿瘤微环境中有良好的响应性,有助于在肿瘤区域蓄积,展现出卓越的血管生成抑制能力,并能明显降低药物的外排.此外,CDDP@Zr-MOFBSA能显著抑制多药耐药相关蛋白1(MRP1)的表达,从而逆转A549R细胞的耐药性.总体而言,CDDP@Zr-MOF-BSA对A549R有细胞毒性,能抑制肿瘤微环境中的血管生成,最终有效提高顺铂耐药肿瘤的治疗效果.CDDP@Zr-MOF-BSA为放化疗治疗耐药肿瘤提供了一种多功能协同的方法.

摘要：How to construct integrative information management system for radiation oncology is a new practice in China based on new technical framework and the profile of integrating the healthcare enterprise in radiation oncology （IHE-RO）. This paper presents the research progress for constructing the system in the department of the radiation oncology at Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and its system diagram based on IHE-RO technical framework, digital imaging and communication in medicine with radiotherapy （DICOM RT） data flow standard, and emphasizes the importance of DICOM RT in constructing the system and describes the generation process of DICOM RT objects. Finally, the related international standards are suggested on RT devices adopted by China State Food and Drug Administration （SFDA） when the system is constructed.
