Objective:To investigate the diagnosis and treatment principles of multiple primary colorectal carcinoma(MPCC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was made on 63 patients with MPCC admitted from January 1993 to January 2007 in our hospital. Results:The incidence of MPCC was 2.1%(63/3 021) with 31 cases being synchronous carcinoma(SC) and 32 cases diagnosed as metachronous carcinoma(MC). Male to female ratio was 2.5:1.Most tumors were located in rectum and sigmoid colon.A total of 34 cases(54.0%) were diagnosed by fiberoptic colonoscopy before operation.The diagnosis rate of SC by fiberoptic colonoscopy before operation and during operative exploration were all 38.7%(12 cases). The diagnosis rate of MC by fiberoptic colonoscopy before operation and during operative exploration were 68.7%(22 cases) and 6.25%(2 cases) respectively.The overall 5-year survival rate of the patients in SC was 45%(9/20),the overall 5-year survival rate of the patients in MC after the first operation was 72.4%(21/29). Conclusion:Clinician should improve the recognition of MPCC.Patients with colorectal carcinoma should undergo routine fibercolonscopy and standard radical excision. Periodic follow-up for the high-risk group should be highlighted.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of hyperbric oxygen (HBO) on infarct volume and relevant mechanism after permanent focal cerebral ischemia in adult rats.MethodsRat model of focal cerebral ischemia induced by intraluminal filament occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCA) was used. HBO(2.0 ATA) was applied to HBO group. Infarct volume, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 were detected at 6h, 24h, 48h, 72h,120h and 10d after ischemia.ResultsThe infarct volume obviously decreased at 120h and 10d and expression of MMP-9 lowered at 48—120h in HBO groups. There was no significant change in MMP-2.Conclusion HBO can reduce infarct volume after cerebral ischemia, which may be related to downregulation of MMP-9 levels.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical therapeutic effect of intra-articular injection with sodium hyaluronate (SH) on osteoarthritis of the ankle.Methods25 patients with osteoarthritis of the ankles (36 ankles) were treated with SH intra-articular injection 2 ml every week for 5 weeks. The degree of pain, swelling and functional disturbance of the ankles were observed to evaluate the effect.ResultsAfter treatment, the degree of pain, swelling and functional disturbance of the ankles improved (P<0.05～0.01). The total efficiency rate was 91.61%.ConclusionSodium hyaluronate injected intra-articular is an effective, ideal and safe treatment for osteoarthritis of the ankle.

BACKGROUND:The pain caused by osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture is usually treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in clinic,which has been reported that dysfunction of liver and kidney will follow the use,but what has happened in the tissue of liver and kidney is not reported.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of NSAIDs on the tissue of liver and kidney in osteoporotic fracture rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Randomized controlled animal experiment.The experiment was completed in the Animal Experiment Center in Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2007 to February 2008.MATERIALS:A total of 24 female SD rats,8-month-old,weighing 300-320 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups,saline group,diclofenac sodium (fracture before medicine) group and diclofenac sodium (fracture after medicine) group,with 8 rats in each group.METHODS:The rats were housed for 3 months after ovariectomized to establish osteoporosis models.Rats in the saline group and diclofenac sodium (fracture before medicine) group were administrated saline and diclofenac sodium after transverse osteotomy at the middle shaft of bilateral femur respectively;in the diclofenac sodium (fracture after medicine) group were administrated 5 mg/(kg?d) diclofenac sodium for 3 weeks,then received transverse osteotomy at the middle shaft of bilateral femur.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The histological observation of liver and kidney was performed at weeks 2,3,4 and 6 after fracture.RESULTS:In the diclofenac sodium (fracture before medicine) group,diclofenac sodium caused the inflammatory response at glomeruli,which exhibited expansion of tubular lumen,edema of epithelial cells,disappeared cell nuclei,degeneration and necrosis of renal tubule,cell debris and drugs crystals accumulated in the tubular lumen,congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration of renal interstitium.Administrating diclofenac sodium may cause the inflammatory response at portal area,indistinct structure of hepatic lobule,hepatic cells edema,steatosis and necrosis.Administrating diclofenac sodium before osteoporotic fracture also resulted in tissue lesions in kidney and liver,the damage would continue about 3 weeks.CONCLUSION:The diclofenac sodium cause histological lesions of kidney and liver in osteoporotic rats,especially in kidney.The histological lesions of kidney and liver are inreversible after administrating diclofenac sodium for a long time.

BACKGROUND:Research on hand braces is relatively backward, which is difficult to be promoted widely. Zone II extensor tendon has a complex structure, and poor recovery is commonly seen after injury. The main treatment for zone II extensor tendon injury is the fixation with plaster slab, plywood and polymer materials, and up to now, there is no ideal brace for zone II extensor tendon injury.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of home-made multi-function hand brace on the repair of zone II extensor tendon injury.
METHODS:Seventy-six patients with zone II extensor tendon injury were randomly divided into test group and control group, with 38 in each group. In the test group, patients were given appropriate rehabilitation education and multi-function hand brace based apart from conventional hand surgery on zone II extensor tendon; in the control group, patients underwent conventional hand surgery and guiding functional training. Total active motion of the extensor tendons of fingers were evaluated at 1, 2, 3 months after treatment; and the manual dexterity and fine motor of the hand were assessed at 2 and 3 months after treatment.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The difference in the total active motion of extensor tendons of fingers was of great significance between the two groups at 1, 2, 3 months after treatment (P < 0.05). The Minnesota manual dexterity and fine motor of the hand also showed significant differences between the two groups at 2 and 3 months after treatment (P < 0.05). Patient’s cost-effectiveness analysis results showed that the total cost of the two groups had no statistical significance (P> 0.05), but less cost was used for one point increase in the above-mentioned three functional scores of the test group than the control group (P < 0.05), indicating the implementation of cost-effective treatment. This home-made brace can prevent adhesions and anchylosis during the postoperative auxiliary exercise; meanwhile, it can improve the range of motion, flexibility and fine motor ability of the hand and has a higher cost performance in the postoperative adjuvant exercise therapy of zone II extensor tendon injury.

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs2736340 and rs2618476) inBLK gene with Kawasaki disease (KD) and coronary artery lesion in Chinese Han children.MethodsIn the case-control study, 179 children with KD were selected and 182 healthy check-up children during the same period were selected as normal controls. The genotypes of two SNPs inBLK gene were detected using PCR-RFLP and the data were analyzed. ResultsThere was no difference in distribution of three genotypes (TT, CT, and CC) of SNP rs2736340 between KD group and control group (P=0.093). However, T allele frequency in KD group was signiifcantly higher than that in control group (P=0.021). The distribution of three genotypes (CC, CT, and TT) of SNP rs2618476 between KD group and control group was signiifcantly different (P=0.021). C allele frequency in KD group was signiifcantly higher than that in control group (P=0.006). The two SNPs inBLK gene were not associated with rash, hand-foot edema and coronary artery lesion (CAL), but SNP (rs2618476) was asso-ciated with oral mucosa lesions (P=0.018).ConclusionsThe SNP (rs2736340) inBLK gene was not associated with KD, but the T-allele was associated with KD. The SNP (rs2618476) was associated with KD in Han Chinese, and was also associated with oral mucosa lesions in KD patients.

Objective To prepare huperzine A-carrier protein conjugate and determine its immunogenicity for later production of monoclonal antibody against HupA and establishing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA) -based detection method for HupA. Methods HupA was conjugated with bovine serum albumin ( BSA) using glutaraldehyde ( GA) method to obtain the HupA-GA-BSA conjugate,and the hapten number in the conjugate was determined by matrix-assisted laser absorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF-MS) . BALB /c mice were immunized with HupA-GA-BSA to prepare the antiserum against HupA. The serum titer and specificity of the HupA antibodies were detected by indirect ELISA and competitive ELISA,respectively. Results The conjugation ratio of HupA and the carrier protein BSA was 8∶ 1. The antiserum against HupA with a titer of 1∶ 62 500 was obtained after immunizing the mice with the conjugate,and the antiserum reacted specifically to HupA. Conclusion The synthesized HupA-GA-BSA conjugate possesses good immunogenicity in mice,suggesting the feasibility of preparing the monoclonal antibody against HupA using this conjugate.
