Objective To analyse the survival time and related factors of patients with brain stem glioma who received 3DCRT.Methods Thirty-six patients with brain stem tumor were admitted from October 2004 to December 2008 and all received 3D-CRT with the dosage (50-54 Gy,25-30 f,5-6 weeks).During treatment,the patients’ outcomes were analyzed by observing the changes of symptoms,signs and adverse radiotherapy reaction and all of them were followed-up in the next 3 years.The survival data were analyzed by Kaplan-Meire method.Results The median survival time was 9 months in the 23 pediatric patients and 15 months in 13 adult patients.One-,two-and three-year survival rates between pediatric group and the adult group were 43.5 % (10/13) vs 76.9 % (10/13),26.1% (6/23) vs 46.2 % (6/13),8.7 % (2/23) vs 38.5 % (5/13).Karnofsky performance scale score at admission (x2 =20.059,P =0.000),tumor site (x2 =17.585,P =0.000),growth pattern (x2 =21.247,P =0.000) were associate with survival time.Conclusion 3DCRT is an effective therapy to brain stem glioma,childhood onset,pontine glioma,diffusion style and Karnofsky performance scale less than 80 are risk factors of poor prognosis.
摘要
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its ligands (EGF and TGFalpha) are over-expressed in a variety of tumors. Immunization EGF-carrier protein inhibits tumor growth through abrogating binding of EGF to EGFR. Here, a chimeric protein of EGF and TGFalpha (E5T) was genetically fused to Staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), a bacterial superantigenic protein which promotes humoral B cell response through enhancement of Ag-specific CD4 T cells activity. The resulted fusion proteins were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified though metal chelating affinity chromatography. Immunization of E5T-mSEA fusion protein in mice induced production of high titers antibodies, which recognize both EGF and TGFalpha. Anti- E5T-mSEA serum at dilution of 1:10 significantly inhibited growth of A431 cell lines but had little effect on 293T cell lines.

Radioimmunotherapy (RIT) is one kind of targeted immunotherapy. It is a better therapy of tumour treatment for its distinct advantages. Nowadays, it has been widely used to treat lymphoma, and part of solid tumors. In this review,basic research and clinical application related to solid tumor are summarized.

Objective To evaluate biodistribution and pharmacokinetics pattern of ~(131)I-labeled rch24which is the region-grafted (humanized) anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody in nude mice. Methods Nude mice bearing cancer xenografts received intravenous injections of ~(131)I- rch24, then blood, plasma, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, tumor and other tissues were taken at different time point for determination the concentration of radioactivity and calculate the T/NT value. Nude mice were packeted randomly to four group of high, medium, low dose and continuous administration, blood drug concentration was detected by ELISA method at the different intervals. Then, draw the concentration-time curve and calculate the pharmacokinetics paramete. Results After administration, radioactivity of the tumour was significantly enhanced whereas radioactivity of normal tissues decreased gradually. For single administration, at the dose of low to medium, pharmacokinetics pattern was linearity -kinetics whereas for high dose group,pharmacokinetics paramete shown some behavior of non-linearity-kinetics. Conclusion Our results suggest that the ~(131)I-labeled region-grafted (humanized) anti-CEA monoclonal antibody rch24 exhibit a considerable targeting activity so as to ~(131)I radioisotopes can be concentrated specifically in tumor. The pharmacokinetics pattern of this medicine was different at different dose.
