RÉSUMÉ
Immunoscenescence plays a key role in the initiation and development of tumors. Furthermore, immunoscenescence also impacts drug delivery and cancer therapeutic efficacy. To reduce the impact of immunosenescence on anti-tumor therapy, this experimental plan aimed to use neutrophils with tumor tropism properties to deliver sialic acid (SA)-modified liposomes into the tumor, kill tumor cells via SA-mediated photochemotherapy, enhance infiltration of neutrophils into the tumor, induce immunogenic death of tumor cells with chemotherapy, enhance infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the tumor-draining lymph nodes and tumors of immunosenescent mice, and achieve SA-mediated photochemotherapy. We found that CD8+ T cell and neutrophil levels in 16-month-old mice were significantly lower than those in 2- and 8-month-old mice; 16-month-old mice exhibited immunosenescence. The anti-tumor efficacy of SA-mediated non-photochemotherapy declined in 16-month-old mice, and tumors recurred after scabbing. SA-mediated photochemotherapy enhanced tumor infiltration by CD8+ T cells and neutrophils, induced crusting and regression of tumors in 8-month-old mice, inhibited metastasis and recurrence of tumors and eliminated the immunosenescence-induced decline in antitumor therapeutic efficacy in 16-month-old mice via the light-heat-chemical-immunity conversion.
RÉSUMÉ
Objective To observe the survival and side effects of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.Methods Twenty-eight large HCC patients undergoing SBRT in 302 Military Hospital from November 1,2011 to January 31,2014 were observed.The prescribed dose was 39-61 Gy/3-9f.Among them,20 patients simultaneously received transcatheter arterial embolization.The overall survival (OS),progression-free survival (PFS) and local control (LC) rates were calculated by using Kaplan-Meier method.The influencing factors of OS were analyzed by Cox regression model The influencing factors of radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) were identified by using Logistic regression analysis.Results The 1-,2-,3-and 5-year OS rates were 75%,57%,54% and 22%,respectively.The 1-,2-,3-and 5-year PFS rates were 59%,47%,36% and 18%,respectively.The 1-,2-,3-and 5-year LC rates were 92%,86%,86% and 86%,respectively.Four patients suffered from RILD and none died from RILD.Child-Pugh classification was the influencing factor of OS and RILD.Conclusion It is preliminarily believed that SBRT is an alternative and safe treatment for patients with large HCC.

The influencing factors of OS were analyzed by Cox regression model. The influencing factors of radiation-induced liver disease (RILD) were identified by using Logistic regression analysis.@*Results@#The 1-, 2-, 3-and 5-year OS rates were 75%, 57%, 54% and 22%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-and 5-year PFS rates were 59%, 47%, 36% and 18%, respectively. The 1-, 2-, 3-and 5-year LC rates were 92%, 86%, 86% and 86%, respectively.
