Pelvic fractures are high energy injuries involving severe trauma and potential intra pelvic bleeding. Immediate control of hemorrhage, fixation of pelvic fractures and inter department cooperation are important for their treatment. Transcatheter angiographic embolization can be used to identify bleeding sites, control hemorrhage and improve mortality and complications, and it has been proved to be a valuable technique in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic vascular injuries. Still there is a considerable controversy on the fracture patterns, the sequence and the timing of emergency angiography and possible embolization in these patients. In this paper, we reviewed the role of angiographic embolization and we thought more attention should be paid on angiographic embolization in the control of hemorrhage.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of anterior decompression and autograft fusion under video-assisted thoracoscopic to treat lower thoracic vertebrae bursting fracture complicated with intervertebral disc injury.MethodsEleven patients who suffered from lower thoracic vertebrae bursting fracture complicated with intervertebral disc injury were treated with anterior decompression and autograft fusion under video-assisted thoracoscopic from December 2005 to May 2008.The involved vertebrae included T12 in 5cases,T11 in 4 cases,T10 in 1 case and Ts in 1 case.According to the AO classification,4 patients were A2.2and 7 were A3.According to the Frankel classification,5 patients were rated as grade A,2 as grade C,2 as grade D and 2 as grade E.ResultsEvery patient underwent successful operation.The operation time was 3.5-8 h(average,5.2±1.6).The blood loss was 600-3800 ml(average,1195±576).One patient got intercostal neuralgia after operation,which disappeared after treating with analgesic drugs for 7 days.All patients were followed up for 36-65 months (average,49.5±5.9).All patients got bony fusion according to the CT scans 24month after operation.There were no neurological function deterioration and other instrument complications happened.At the last follow-up,5 patients were rated as grade A,2 as grade D and 4 as grade E,according to the Frankel classification.ConclusionAnterior decompression and autograft fusion under video-assisted thoracoscopic is an effective method to treat lower thoracic vertebrae bursting fracture complicated with intervertebral disc injury.However,this method needs higher technology and has a long study-curve.

Objective To clarify whether the Cosmc gene down-regnhtion in lgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients is resulted from genetic disorders or external suppressions. Methods Forty IgAN patients, 16 non-IgAN glomerulonephritis patients and 21 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Genomie DNA was extracted and then Cosmc gene was amplified and sequenced. Peripheral B lymphoeytes were isolated and cultured with RPMI-1640 alone or plus lipopolysaecharide (LPS). The Cosmc mRNA expression levels at baseline, after RPMI-1640 culture or RPMI-1640+LPS treatment were measured respectively by real-time RT-PCR. Results (1) Only 2 missense mutations and 2 silent mutations were detected in coding frame region of Cosine gene in 2 IgAN patients. (2) The baseline Cosmc gene expression level was significantly lower in IgAN patients (31% of that in healthy controls) than that in healthy controls. (3) Relative quantification PCR indicated that Cosmc mRNA expression level was significantly increased (219% of baseline) after RPMI-1640 culture, and treatment of LPS could strongly inhibit this effect. (4) The Cosmc gene expression of healthy control was not affected by RPMI-1640 or LPS. Conclusion It is not genetic disorders but external suppression to cause the down-regulation of Cosmc gene mRNA expression in IgAN.

OBJECTIVETo develop a novel vaccine by immobilizing interleukin-21 (IL-21) on the surface of MB49 cells and evaluate its effect in inducing specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and antitumor immunity in a mouse model of subcutaneous metastatic bladder cancer.

METHODSSA-IL-21 was immobilized on the surface of 30% ethanol-fixed MB49 cells to prepare the cell vaccine. C57BL/6 mice with subcutaneous implantation of MB49 bladder cancer cells were randomized into 5 groups to receive treatments with IL-21/MB49 vaccine, soluble IL-21, GFP surface-modified MB49 cells, ethanol-fixed MB49 cells, or PBS. The tumor growth and CTL were examined to assess the antitumor efficacy of the vaccine.

RESULTSIL-21 surface-modified MB49 cell vaccine significantly inhibited the tumor growth and generated a long-lasting memory response (P<0.05). At the same effector-target (E:T) ratio, the specific CTLs induced by IL-21/MB49 vaccine showed the most potent cytotoxicity against MB49 cells (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONWith the protein-anchor technique, IL-21 can be efficiently immobilized on the surface of MB49 cells to prepare IL-21/MB49 cells vaccine. The novel vaccine can maintain its biological activity and significantly enhance the cytotoxicity of CTLs against bladder cancer cells.
