Objective To analyze the clinicopathologic factors related to the prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 61 cases of advanced gallbladder carcinoma who were operated on from 2001 to 2006 in Nanjing First Hospital.Results According to the 6th UICC/AJCC TNM classification and staging of gallbladder carcinoma,of the 61 patients,8 patients were stage IB,22 were IIA,11 were IIB,14 were III and 6 were IV.Palliative cholecystectomy and/or bile duct drainage procedures were performed in 24 patients;removal of gallbladder plus regional lymph nodes and fatty tissue dissections were performed in 14 cases;radical resection was performed in 7 patients;removal of gallbladder and part of liver in combination with resection of bile duct(radical operatian) was performed in 13 patients;1 patient had extensive radical operation including pancreaticoduodenectomy.In 37 patients,18 had positive lymph node metastasis.Fifty-two patients were followed up,41(67.2%) patients were alive at 6 months after operation,26(42.6%)were alive at 12 months,10(16.4%) were alive at 24 months,and 7 cases were alive at 36 months,1 patient is still alive 5 years after operation;51 patients died within 2 years after operation.The symptoms of recurrence in 31 patients included progressing jaundice(21 cases),metastasis in liver(14 cases),and refractory ascites(12 cases).Five patients died of non-bile duct disease.Conclusions The prognosis of gallbladder cancer has a close relationship with the clinical stage and method of resection.

Objective To investigate the pathological findings and diagnosis value of CT and MRI in detec-tion of primary centralnervous system lymphoma (PCNSL)so as to improve diagnostic accuracy of the condition. Methods The results of CT and MRI for 32 patients with PCNSL were analyzed retrospectively,and the results were compared with the finally obtained surgical-pathological examination.Results Of 32 cases,the foci were single in 29 cases and multiple in 4 cases,and there were 41 foci in total.Most foci were located near the surface or middle line of brain.On CT scan appearances,most foci were hyperdensity or slightly hyperdensity masses with the well definite margin,on MRI,it showed low signal of T1 -weighted imaging (T1 WI)and slightly increased non-uniform signal of T2 -weighted imaging (T2 WI).All the foci were equally and markedly enhanced after enhancement.The diagnostic coincident rate of combination diagnosis (93.8%)was significantly higher than that of CT (71.9%)and MRI (75.0%)(χ2 =7.234 6,P=0.003 2;χ2 =6.953 8,P=0.003 7).Conclusion CT,MRI have characteristic mani-festation for PCNSL,and according to the manifestation of CT,MRI,predilection site,mass effect,and combined with pathological examination,which can effectively improve the sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosis.

Objective To compare the results of different operative methods for old acromioclavicular dislocation. Methods Forty three patients with old acromioclavicular dislocation were treated with three different operative methods: 1)open reduction plus Kirschner wire fixation (9 cases); 2)open reduction plus reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (14 cases) and 3)open reduction plus modified Dewar s operation (20 cases). After surgery, the subjective symptoms of the arm, muscular contraction power, function of the shoulder joint and space of acromioclavicular joint in 43 cases were followed up for an average 4.8 years. Results The excellent results following three operative methods were seen in 33％ , 50％ and 74％ respectively. There was no significant difference between Kirschner wire fixation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (P > 0.05). Modified Dewar's operation was better compared with Kirschner wire fixation and reconstruction of acromioclavicular ligament (P< 0.05). Conclusion A satisfactory surgical procedure for treatment of old acromioclavicular dislocation should accomplish the following points: removal of scar tissue and intra articular cartilaginous fragments, reconstruction of joint stability and effective internal fixation until complete healing of the ligament structures.

Objective To explore the levels of?-radiation emitted from ceramic floor boards saled in Tangshan.Methods The levels of?-radiation emitted from common ceramic floor boards,polished surface-ceramic floor board s and granular surfac-ceramic floor boards manufactured in A,B and C different provinces were determined.All sam ple s were collected from the build ing ma te rial markets in Tangshan.Results The levels of?-radiation emitted from ceram-ic floor boards were91.1,76.8,75.1nGy /h for those manufactured in A,B and C province respectively,and92.7,88.9,78.0nGy /h for granular sur face-ceramic floor boards,polished surface-ceramic floor boards and com mon ceramic floor boards respec tively.Con clu sion For the consumers,the first selection of the common ceramic floor boards to dec-orate the floor was recommended.

Objective To investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of Caudatin combined with Gefitinib on Gefitinib resistance induced by HGF in PC-9.Methods Model of EGFR-TKIs resistance in PC-9 cells was induced by exogenous HGF and co-cultured with MRC-5.Caudatin was tested as a drug resistant modulator to reverse the resistance of Gefitinib in PC-9 cells induced by HGF by MTT assay.Western blot was performed to observe the mechanism of Caudatin combined with Gefitinib reversing the resistance of PC-9 induced by HGF.Results The resistance of gefitinib to PC-9 was induced by exogenous HGF and co-cultured with MRC-5 which could reduce relative inhibitory rate ( P<0.05 ) .Neither caudatin ( 0-32 μM ) or Gefitinib (1μM) alone could significantly inhibit proliferation of PC-9 in the presence of HGF, which could be inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by Caudatin combined with Gefitinib ( P<0.05 ); Caudatin combined with Gefitinib down-regulated the phosphorylation levels of Met and PI3K/Akt simultaneously (P<0.05).Conclusion Caudatin could reverse the drug resistance of Gefitinib in PC-9 induced by HGF, the mechanism of which may be related to the inhibition of Met/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Objective:This paper intends to provide reference for consummation of biosimilar registration poli-cies in China. Methods:This paper evaluates the performance of Japanese registration regulation policies on biosimi-lars by analyzing the procedure and reviewing the features of biosimilars. Results and Conclusions:According to the findings of the present investigation, the availability and affordability of biosimilars have been improved, and the bio-medicine industry has achieved great development. On the other hand, it's recommended that the guideline for the de-velopment and evaluation of biosimilars should be amended on the principle of appropriate simplification, which means to simplify the research and development procedure and exempt partial application dossier. Besides, the regis-tration procedures should be adopted continuously to ensure the stability of biosimilars' R&D and registration.
