OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and regularities of intractable nasal bleeding site in different aged patients.METHODS The clinical data of 149 patients with intractable epistaxis were reviewed respectively.RESULTS Of the 149 patients, 110 cases were male and 39 cases were female with a age ranged from 18 to 87 years. They were divided into young group (39y or less), middle age group(40~59 y) and elderly group(60y or older), and there were 36, 52 and 61 cases in each group respectively. Hemostasis was performed with local anesthesia or general anesthesia under nasal endoscope. There were 145 cases with definite bleeding site, and electrocautery or micropacking was used for stop the bleeding. There were 4 cases without definite bleeding site. The bleeding site was on the posterior fornix of inferior meatus in 22 cases(61%), posterosuperior of middle nasal meatus in 13 cases(36.1%) and olfactory cleft of nasal septum in one case(2.7%) in young group; The bleeding site was on the posterior fornix of inferior meatus in 23 cases(44.2%), posterosuperior of middle nasal meatus in 10 cases(19.2%) and olfactory cleft of nasal septum in 17 cases(32.7%) in the middle age group; In the elderly group, the bleeding site was on the olfactory cleft of nasal septum in 37 cases(60.6%), posterosuperior of middle nasal meatus in 15 cases(24.6%) and posterior fornix of inferior meatus in 7 cases(11.5%).CONCLUSION In patients with refractory nasal bleeding, the majority responsible vessel was sphenopalatine artery or its branches in young and middle-aged patient and branches of anterior/posterior ethmoidal artery in elderly patients. Along with the increase of age, the sphenopalatine artery branch bleeding decreased, but the branches of anterior/posterior ethmoidal artery bleeding increased.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical characteristics of breast carcinosarcoma with osteosarcoma components and its differential diagnosis. Methods The pathologic features and clinical manifestations of the two patients were retrospectively reviewed. Immunohistochemistry was performed and the literature was reviewed. Results Histopathologically, the neoplasm consisted of invasive ductal carcinoma of no special type and poorly ( case 1 ) or well (case 2) differentiated osteosarcomatoid elements. The morphological transition from carcinoma to sarcomatoid elements was seen. Immunohistochemically,the carcinoma cells were positive for CK and EMA , the sarcomatoid elements were stained positive for vimentin, and a few cells of two elements were positive for S-100 protein. Ki-67 and VEGF were over expressed in both elements of Case 1.In case2 Ki-67 expression was low in both elements and VEGF over expression was only seen in sarcomatoid elements. Some of the carcinoma cells were positive for ER. Conclusions Carcinosarcoma of the breast with osteosarcomatoid elements is a rare type of mixed epithelial/mesenchymal metaplastic breast carcinoma. The types and proportion of carcinoma and sarcomatoid elements determine the diagnosis.

Background Studies confirmed that hydroxycamptothecin cause the apoptosis of human Tenon capsule fibroblasts (HTFs) by protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum stress kinase (PERK) single pathway.Autophagy and apoptosis are programmed cell death following stress reaction,so they remain a close association.However,the effect of hydroxycamptothecin on the autophagy of HTFs and its mechanism are still unclear.Objective This study was to explore the promoting effect of PERK signal pathway on hydroxycamptothecin inducing the autophagy of HTFs.Methods This study procedure was approval by Ethic Committee of Nanjing Medical University.Human Tenon capsule tissue was obtained from fresh adult donors.HTFs were cultured and passaged by explant-culture method and identified by immunofluorescence for vimentin and keratin.pLVX-PERK lentiviral packed by 293T cells was transfected into HTFs to obtain stable PERK-knockout cell line by puromycin selection.Then the HTFs were treated with 0.10 g/L of hydroxycamptothecin for 5 minutes and consecutively cultivated for 24 hours,and the untreated cells were used as the control group.Western blot assay was used to detect the expressions of autophagy specific proteins in the cells,including autophagy related gene 5 (ATG-5),Beclin-1,light chain 3 (LC-3).Cyto-ID staining was used to identify the autophagosome in the cells.The experimental results were analyzed and compared between different treating groups.Results The gray scales for the expressions of Beclin 1,ATG-5,LC-3-Ⅰ and LC-3-Ⅱ proteins in HTFs were 0.365:±0.045,0.765 ±0.055,0.120±0.030 and 0.215 ±0.035 in the control group,and those in the hydroxycamptothecin treated group were 0.980±0.070,1.495±0.095,0.585±0.025 and 0.785±0.055,showing a significant decline in the hydroxycamptothecin treated group(P=0.018,0.022,0.007,0.013).The green fluorescence of the autophagosome was stronger in the hydroxycamptothecin treated group compared with the control group.Western blot revealed that the gray scale of PERK expression in the cells was 0.130±0.030 in the PERK-knockout group,with a significant reduce in comparison with 0.765 ±0.055 of the control group (P =0.010).However,no obvious distinctions were seen in the band intensities of the expressions of Beclin-1,ATG-5 and LC-3 proteins between the two groups.Western blot indicated that the grey scale of the PERK expression in the cells was 1.790± 0.060 in the 0.10 g/L hydroxycamptothecin group,which was significantly higher than 0.880 ± 0.070 of the control group (P =0.010).Expression levels (gray scales) of Beclin-1,ATG-5,LC-3-Ⅰand LC-3-Ⅱ in the PERK-knockout+ 0.10 g/L hydroxycamptothecin group were 0.475 ± 0.045,0.390 ± 0.040,0.055 ± 0.015 and 0.075 ± 0.025,which were significantly lowed in comparison with 0.955 ± 0.065,0.765 ± 0.055,0.155 ± 0.015 and 0.280 ± 0.030 of the control+ 0.10 g/L hydroxycamptothecin group (P =0.026,0.031,0.042,0.034).In addition,the fluorescence intensity of autophagosomes was weaker in the PERK-knockout+0.10 g/L hydroxycamptothecin group compared with the control+0.10 g/L hydroxycamptothecin group.Conclusions Hydroxycamptothecin induces the autophagy of HTFs by PERK signal pathway.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Qiangji Recipe (QR) in ad- junctive treatment of axial undifferentiated spondyloarthritis (axuSpA) through a four-week open study.

METHODSFifty-four axuSpA patients of Shen-deficiency Du-channel cold syndrome (SDDCS) in line with inclusive criteria were recruited and assigned to the treatment group and the control group according to random digit table, 27 in each group. Patients in the control group took Celecoxib Capsule (0.2 g each time, twice per day). Patients in the treatment group additionally took QR (consisting of Herba Epimedii 15 g, antler glue 15 g, Cibotium Barometz 15 g, eucommia bark 20 g, dipsacus asper 10 g, two toothed achyranthes root 15 g, drynaria 15 g, Taxillus Chinensis 20 g, ground beetle 10 g, scorpion 5 g, wild celery 10 g, notopterygium incisium 10 g, cow-fat seed 10 g, white mustard seed 6 g, and licorice root 6 g, one dose per day, twice daily). The therapeutic course for all was 4 weeks. The Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI), the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), the Bath AS Metrology Index (BASMI), total body pain and spinal pain, patient and physician global assessment on a four-point scale, the Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of Life (ASQoL), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment. The primary end point in this study was the proportion of patients with a 20%improvement response accord- ing to the ASAS International Working Group Criteria (ASAS 20 responders) at week 4.

RESULTSTotally 50 patients completed this trial, 26 in the treatment group and 24 in the control group. Improvement of BASDAI, BASFI, BASMI, ASQoL, ESR, and CRP was shown in both groups after treatment. Better effect was shown in the treatment group in all indices except ESR and BASMI after treatment (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Twenty cases (accounting for 76.92%) in the treatment group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4, while 12 cases (accounting for 50.00%) in the control group achieved ASAS 20 response at week 4 (P < 0.05). No obvious adverse reaction occurred in the two groups.

CONCLUSIONQR combined Celecoxib Capsule showed better effect in treating axuSpA patients than using Celecoxib Capsule alone.
