Objective To study the clinicopathological features,diagnosis and treatment of carcinoid tumors of the urinary bladder. Methods The clinical,histopathologic data of 4 carcinoid tumors of the urinary bladder were retrospectively analysed.The bladder carcinoid was diagnosed in 3 male patients and 1 female patient with age from 54 to 79 years.All patients were presented with gross hematuria,but with no clinical manifestations of the carcinoid syndrome such as flush,tachycardia,diarrhea.Cystoscopies showed 5 mm?5 mm to 25 mm?30 mm sessile polypoid masses. Results One patient received radical cystectomy followed by radiotherapy,3 patients received partial cystectomy.Two patients died of the tumor metastasis at survival interval 5 years and 3 months,respectively;other 2 patients were still alive 19 years and 8 months following the surgical treatment.Two cases were stage Ⅱ,and other 2 cases were stage Ⅲ.Histologically,tumor cells exhibited strong argyrophilia and electron microscopy revealed characteristic dense-core granules. Immunohistochemical testing showed the cancer cell was positive for chromogranin A and keratin. Conclusions Carcinoid of the urinary bladder is uncommon,the diagnosis depends on histopathological and immunohistochemical tests.Based on the degree of infiltration,size,location,lymph node metastasis,different surgical intervention can be choosed.

[Objective]To observe the degradation process of PDLLA in the intervertebral fusion.[Method]Twenty goats were divided into 4 groups as experimental group,and their L_(3~4)intervertebal spaces were implanted with PDLLA cage containing pieces of graft bone.Animals were sacrificed at 4,8,12,16 wks and specimens were taken for observation of the degradation process and bone fusion by gross observation and electronic microscope.Another 12 goats were used as normal fusion control group.Their L_(3~4)space were grafted with bone block for fusion.[Result]The degradation rate was non-lineal.In the early stage of fusion,the main degradation and decrease of molecular weight was shown at the superficial decomposition.With the proceeding of fusion and degradation,as the kydrolyzation speeding-up,internal decomposition by self-catalyse resulted into the collapse and total disassemble of the PDLLA.The PDLLA cage maintained its shape in the early stage and its biomechanical strength decrease in late stage but was still enough to keep the structure from collapse,till the fusion was achieved in the bone implant area.[Conclusion]The velocity of degradation of PDLLA is slower than the speed of bone regeneration of bone fusion,so the PDLLA cage could provide sufficient support during the process of intervertebal fusion and is a suitable choice of degradative material for cage in the intervertebal fusion.

Objective To investigate the related factors for Alzheimer's disease(AD) in Han versus Uygur populations in Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods A case-control study was conducted.Firstly,people over 50 years old were involved in epidemiology inquisition in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Then we screened for dementia by MMSE and scrutinized the person who got the score of MMSE for illiteracy(≤17),elementary school(<20),middle school and above it(< 24)by Hachinski Ischemic Score(HIS) and activity of daily living scale(ADL).Finally,AD cases were diagnosed by standard of the national institute of neurologic,communicative disorders and stroke and AD-related disorders association (NINCDS-ADRDA),and controls were selected based on age roughly.Univariate and multivariate analysis of related factors for AD in the two populations were conducted by using logistic regression mode.Results There were 109 AD cases and 218 controls in Han population and 127 AD cases and 254 controls in Uygur population.Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk for AD in Han population was increased by 3.078,1.369 and 2.794 folds respectively in women,people with high level of serum total cholesterol and people with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as compared with men,people with normal level of serum total cholesterol and people with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(OR =3.078,1.369 and 2.794,respectively,all P< 0.05); and the risk for AD in Uygur population was increased by 3.279,3.447,1.407 and 1.746 folds respectively in women,people with brain trauma history,and people with high level of serum triglyceride and total cholesterol as compared with men,people without brain trauma history and with normal level of serum triglyceride and total cholesterol(OR=3.279,3.447,1.407 and 1.746,all P< 0.05).Conclusions The study demonstrates that female and high total cholesterol are the risk factors for AD in both of Han and Uygur populations.High level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol is one of the risk factors for AD in Han population,and brain trauma history and high level of serum triglyceride are risk factors for AD in Uygur population.

Objective To establish a novel method to determine the absolute content of quercetin by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (qNMR).Methods DMSO-d6 was employed as solvent,and maleic acid as an internal standard.Proton signal peaks at δ7.50-7.58 and δ6.26 of maleic acid were served as quantification peaks.The content of quercetin is determined with qNMR in comparison with the results obtained by mass balance method.Results Linear regression of quantitative peak areas ratio (As/Ar) of quercetin-maleic acid vs mass ratio (ms/mr) yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.999 3 and a regression equation ofy =2.963 x + 0.134 1.The contents of three batches quercetin were 85.20%,84.93%,and 85.27%,the average was 85.13% and its RSD was 0.21%.The results were generally consistent with that of mass balance methods.Conclusion This method was easy and simple to handle,and the analysis results were accurate.It could be the complementary for the mass balance method.

Objective To investigate the cytotoxicity on normal cell lines of cerium nitrate, the inhibitory effect on tumor cell lines and the effect on cell cycle in vitro. Methods The cytotoxicity of cerium nitrate on FL, L929 and inhibition rate on Hela, SGC-7901, B16, Lewis, K562, and H_(22) in vitro were detected with the method of MTT. The effect of cerium nitrate on cell cycle of SGC-7901 was studied by one-fluorescence dying method on flow cytometer. Results Cerium nitrate did not show the toxic activities on FL and L929 cell lines when the dose of cerium nitrate was it could noticeably inhibit the growth and proliferation of tumor cells nitrate inhibited the growth and proliferation of tumer cells including HeLa, SGC-7901, B16 and K562; cerium nitrate had a noticeably inhibitory effect on the growth and proliferation of H_(22) cell lines in vitro on Conclusion Cerium nitrate has the property of low toxicity and high selectivity on normal cells, but it can inhibit growth and proliferation of many kinds of tumor cell lines by adjusting cell cycle.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effectiveness of percutaneous endovascular treatment of hepatic venous outflow obstruction (HVOO)after pediatric liver transplantation(LT).Methods From January 2008 to January 2013,10 children with obstruction of hepatic vein (HV) or inferior vena cava (IVC) anastomosis underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with balloon dilation or stent placement.The hepatic venous outflow obstruction occurred 10-455 days (median,125 days) after pediatric liver transplantation.According to the time of obstruction,the obstruction was divide into early onset (<1 month) and late onset(>1 month).The effectiveness of PTA was analyzed.Results Twenty-one procedures were performed.One treatment was ineffective,and technical and initial clinical success ratio was 95.2% (20/21) and 70.0% (7/10),respectively.In 3 cases with early onset after LT,operation was performed after unsuccessful PTA in 1 case.One patient who developed recurrent stenosis was treated with PTAS.The other patient died of acute rejection.Late onset after LT was found in 7 cases,who were treated with PTA or stent successfully.Conclusions In cases of venous outflow obstruction resulting from HV and/or IVC lesions after pediatric liver transplantation,percutaneous endovascular treatment with balloon dilation or stent placement is a safe and effective alternative treatment that results in midterm and long-term patency.Early-onset or hepatic veins combined with superior vena cava obstruction should be implanted with stents as early as possible.Late-onset or hepatic veins obstruction alone can be get better results with Balloon Dilatation.
