0.05). The main toxicity reactions were myelosuppression,gastrointestinal reactions,peripheral neurotoxicity and most of the patients can suffer that. CONCLUSION:Docetaxel combined with oxaliplatin and capecitabine have good effect on advanced gastric cancer and are less toxic. It can be the main treatment way to cure advanced gastric cancer.

Objective:To discuss the reconstuctive strategy of the defect of anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle in the clinical practice.Methods:Between November 2009 and Janurary 2020, clinical data of 24 female patients that underwent 29 anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle reconstructions of defect were reviewed retrospectively. The median age was 42.5 years (range, 35-60 years), including 20 breast reconstructions, 2 pelvic reconstructions, 1 thoracic defect after tumor resection and 1 abdominal defect after tumor resection. According to the location and size of the anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle defect, three reconstructive methods were applied: 6 direct clousres were applied if the width of defect was less than half of the anterior rectus fascia, 21 polypropylene mesh onlay reconstructions were applied for which the width of defect was or more than half of the anterior rectus fascia, and 2 direct suture closure were applied for the simple rectus abdominus muscle defect.Results:All the patients healed eventfully without abdominal wound complications, such as infection, hematoma, dehiscence. The patients were followed up for a median period of 30 months (range, 5-126 months). 1 patient died of breast cancer recurrence and matastasis at 36 months postoperatively. No patient developed a mesh infection or required mesh removal secondary to infection or foreign body reaction. There was no abdominal wall hernia, 1 patient developed abdominal bulge without further treatment because of no abdominal wall discomfort.Conclusions:The key of successful operation is different reconstructive methods applied to reconstruct the integrity and stability of abdominal wall, based on the location and size of the anterior rectus fascia and rectus abdominus muscle defect.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the number of activated circulating endothelial cells (aCECs) in the peripheral blood of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and investigate the relationship among aCECs, anti-angiogenic therapy, and prognosis of NSCLC patients. This study also aimed to identify novel predictive markers for anti-angiogenic therapy, and provide basic data and experimental basis for establishing an evaluation system for this therapy. Methods: A total of 142 NSCLC patients were randomly divided into the chemotherapy group (Group 1) and combined therapy group (i.e., chemotherapy plus endostatin, Group 2). The number of aCECs was measured using flow cytometry by detecting the expression status of CD105 and CD146 in the peripheral blood. The correlation between the changes in aCECs and efficacy of drug treatment was statistically analyzed using SPSS software. Results:The number of aCECs in Group 2 increased significantly at 8 and 29 d, two cycles, 50 and 71 d, and four cycles after treatment, respectively (P<0.05). In particular, aCECs amount in cases of progressive disease increased more significantly after combined therapy (P<0.05). A negative correlation was found between the treatment cycle and difference in aCECs amount before and after therapy (r=-0.970, P=0.001). A negative correlation was also observed between the difference in aCECs amount and time to tumor progression (TTP) (r=-0.351, P=0.039). Therefore, the difference in aCECs amount before and after therapy could serve as an important predictor for TTP in NSCLC patients. Conclusion:CD105 and CD146 reflected the activation status of endothelial cells, and responded to the drug treatment. Thus, CD105 and CD146 could act as ideal markers for aCECs. The number of aCECs increased during cancer progression, but significantly decreased after long-term treatment. Therefore, the change in aCECs amount may be a useful marker in predicting the efficacy of anti-angiogenic therapy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin with R-GemOx or without (GemOx) rituximab regimen in the treatment of relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in elderly patients.Methods A total of 39 patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma received R-GemOx or GemOx chemotherapy.There were 16 patients in R-GemOx and 23 patients in GemOx group.Patients in both groups received gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2,d1,at land 8 day and oxaliplatin 130 mg/m2,d1 at lday.Patients in R-GemOx additionally received rituximab 375 mg/m2.Every 21-28 days was 1 cycle.The toxicities were evaluated after 1 cycle of chemotherapy.The efficacy was evaluated after 2 cycles of chemotherapy.Results In R-GemOx group,the total response rate was 62.5％,and the clinical benefit rate was 87.5％.In GemOx group,the total response rate was 47.8％,and the clinical benefit rate was 73.9％ There was no significant differences between the two groups.There was a significant difference in the median time-to-progression (TTP) between R-GemOx group (6.4 months) and GemOx group (5.0 months) (P ＜ 0.05).The major toxicities were marrow suppression and gastrointestinal reaction,which had no significant differences between the two groups.Conclusions R-GemOx and GemOx regimen are effective and safe for the elderly patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).But the patients with relapsed/refractory DLBCL treated with R-GemOx had a longer median time-to-progression than with GemOx regimen.

Objective According to the data collected from gastric cancer families comparative study, the influence factors of Hardy-Weinberg (H-W) equilibrium in the association studies of gene polymorphism and disease were analyzed to reveal the reasons that affecting the equilibrium deviation in the group. Methods Varieties of risk genotype for gastric cancer were analyzed and detected with H-W equilibrium, genetic linkage disequilibrium analysis and Cochran-Armitage trend test. Results (1) Significant deviations from H-W equilibrium were observed in IL-1B-31, IL-IB-511, IL-IRN and TNF-A-308 of the cases and controls (P<0.01). MIF-173 tended to be equilibrium in the population. (2)Deviations from expectations of phenotypes combination probability were observed in two-site H-W χ2 tests (P< 0.01). (3)The Cochran-Armitage trend test showed that distribution of IL-1B-511 and IL-1RN were significantly different(P<0.05), suggesting that population stratification might have existed in the group. Conclusions (1)Affected by frequency-dependent selection, under the combination of linkage disequilibrium, mutations and interaction, genotype frequency of IL-1B-31, IL-1B-511, IL-1RN and TNF-A-308 showed deviation from H-W equilibrium in population. (2)Two-site genetic equilibrium test model seemed better to reflect the differences of phenotypic combination fitness. (3)Population stratification was another factor to express the deviation from H-W equilibrium.

To examine the role of ultrasound in gene delivery in vitro, three cells lines were exposed to the low-frequency ultrasound of varying intensities and for different durations to evaluate their effect on gene transfection and cell viability of the cells. Microbubble (MB), Optison (10%), was also used to observe the role of the microbubbles in gene transfection. The results demonstrated that as the ultrasound intensity and the exposure time increased, the gene transfer rate increased and the cell viability decreased, but at high energy intensities, the cell viability decreased dramatically, which caused the transfer rate to decrease. The most efficient ultrasound intensity for inducing gene transfer was 1 W/cm(2) with duration being 20 s. At the same energy intensity, higher ultrasound intensity could achieve maximal gene transfer rate earlier. Microbubbles could increase ultrasound-induced cell gene transfer rate by about 2 to 3 times mainly at lower energy intensities. Moreover, microbubbles could raise the maximum gene transfer rate mediated by ultrasound. It is concluded that the low-frequency ultrasound can induce cell gene transfer and the cell gene transfer rate and viability are correlated with not only the ultrasound energy intensity but also the ultrasound intensity, the higher ultrasound intensity achieves its maximal transfer rate more quickly and the ultrasound intensity that can induce optimal gene transfer is 1 W/cm(2) with duration being 20 s, and microbubbles can significantly increase the maximal gene transfer rate in vitro.

Objective To discuss the mid?to long?term results and possible prognostic factors of Bernese periacetabu?lar osteotomy for adolescents and young adults with developmental dysplasia of the hip. Methods Bernese periacetabular os?teotomy was performed on 162 patients (171 hips) with hip dysplasia from August 1997 to July 2009. Follow?up data was ac?quirable completely in 123 cases (137 hips), including 30 males (33 hips) and 93 females (104 hips). Age of surgery was 12-48 years (average 27.1 years). The X?ray radiographs and Harris scores were recorded preoperatively and at the last follow?up. The lateral center?edge angle (LCE), acetabular incline angle (AI), continuity of Shenton's line were also recorded. The grades of the hip osteoarthritis were classified by T?nnis classification. Insufficient corrections of osteotomy, excessive corrections of osteotomy, nonunion of the pubis, nerve injuries, and vascular injuries were recorded as complications. Results All the con?tactable cases was followed up again in June and July in 2014. Follow?up duration was 5-17 years (mean, 8.1 years). The LCE angle improved from 7.13° ± 8.86° preoperatively to 30.17° ± 14.98° at the final follow?up. The T?nnis acetabular incline angle decreased from 27.84° ± 12.85° preoperatively to 7.06° ± 10.58° at the final follow?up. The continuity of Shenton's line was in?tact in 106 cases postoperatively, compared with 87 cases preoperatively. Harris score improved from 83.34±9.82 preoperative?ly to 92.79±7.05 at the last follow?up. There was significant correlation between preoperative Harris score and Harris score at the last follow?up. Early complications were observed in 15 cases (15 hips), along with 17 cases (17 hips) of progressions of hip osteoarthritis. Survival rate of the hip at the last follow?up was 97.8%. Conclusion Bernese periacetabular osteotomies can significantly improve bone coverage and joint function of hip dysplasia patients with low rate of short?term complications. Further?more, there was little osteoarthritis progression observed, with good survival rate of the joint in mid?to long?term follow?up. Lower pre?operative Harris scores and higher pre?operative T?nnis classifications are important prognostic factors for post?operative pain.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical manifestations, pathological characteristics, and treatments of urothelial-type mucinous adenocarcinoma of the prostate (UMAP).

METHODSWe reported a case of UMAP, reviewed relevant literature, and analyzed the clinicopaothological features, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease.

RESULTSThe patient was a 60-year-old male and underwent transurethral resection of the prostate for dysuria. Postoperative pathology indicated mucinous adenocarcinoma and sigmoidoscopy revealed no primary colon cancer. Immunohistochemical staining showed the negative expressions of PSA and P504s and positive expressions of CK7, CK34 β E12, CK20, and CDX2. Thus UMAP was confirmed and treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Then the patient was followed up for 30 months, which showed desirable therapeutic result, with neither local progression nor distant metastasis.

CONCLUSIONUMAP has a bad prognosis and its diagnosis depends on pathological and immunohistocchemical examinations. It responds well to radical prostatectomy but is not sensitive to endocrine therapy. Radiotherapy can be considered for those who are not fit to receive radical prostatectomy.

Objective To explore the safety and efficacy of policosanol in elder patients with high on-treatment platelet reactivity ( HPR) after drug-eluting stent ( DES) implantation. Methods This study was a prespecified subgroup analysis of the multicenter, randomized SPIRIT trial,in which there were a total of 169 elder patients (≥60 years old) with HPR. Among these patients, 30 patients were in group A ( given clopidogrel 75 mg/d for one year) , 75 patients in group B ( given clopidogrel 150 mg/d for 30 days followed by 75 mg/d until one year ) and 64 patients in group C ( given policosanol 40 mg/d for 6 month and clopidgrel 75 mg/d for one year ) . All patients were treated with aspirin at the same time. The primary endpoint was the reversion rate of HPR at 30 days (reversion was defined as platelet aggregation ﹤65%). The secondary endpoint was 2-year major adverse cardiac events ( MACE ) rate, which included cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction and ischemic symptoms driven target vessel revascularization. The safety endpoint was any bleeding as defined by the Bleeding Academic Research Consortium ( BARC ) definition. Results At 30 days, the reversion rate of HPR in group C was numerically higher as compared with group A ( 42. 9% vs. 23. 3. 0%, P=0. 068 ) , and similar with group B ( 42. 9% vs. 49. 3%, P=0.447). MACE occurred in 4 (13.3%), 5(6.7%) and 3(4.7%) patients in group A, B and C respictively ( P=0. 352). Bleeding events in group A and group C were both markedly lower in comparison to group B (3. 3% vs. 17. 3% vs. 1. 6%, P=0. 001). At the 24-month follow-up, the MACE-free survival rates were not significantly different (95. 3% vs. 93. 3% vs. 86. 7%, P=0. 146). Conclusions For elder patients with HPR, policosanol reduced platelet reactivity to a similar extent in comparison of high maintenance dose of clopidogrel without increasing bleeding risk.

OBJECTIVETo observe the distribution law and study the factors related to the femoral neck anteversion angle among the patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip of Hartofilakidis type I.

METHODSAmong the patients with hip dysplasia of Hartofilakidis type I who was admitted to Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of People's Liberation Army General Hospital from June 2010 to June 2013, a total of 340 hips (25 male and 161 female) were included in the study. The average age was 28.3 years, ranging from 13.5 to 49.9 years. The observation index included: femoral neck anteversion angle, lateral center-edge angle, acetabular index angle, lateral displacement of the femoral head, superior displacement of the femoral head, continuity of Shenton's line and Calve's line. The correlation between different factors was analyzed, and the factor closest to femoral neck anteversion angle was analyzed further by regression analysis.

RESULTSAmong the patients of developmental dysplasia of the hip of Hartofilakidis type I, the femoral neck anteversion angle increased, with an average of 28°±13°. Correlation and regression analysis showed significant negative correlation with treatment age (r=-0.158, P=0.003; t=-6.892, P=0.000); positive correlation with gender (r=0.332, P=0.000; t=-4.376, P=0.000); significant positive correlation with lateral displacement of the femoral head (r=0.092, P=0.000; t=3.766, P=0.000); significant negative correlation with central-edge angle (r=-0.122, P=0.024; t=2.031, P=0.043). The femoral neck anteversion angle showed correlation with acetabular index angle, continuity of Calve's line and superior displacement of the femoral head in correlation analysis, not in regression analysis, however, it did not show correlation with side and continuity of Shenton's line.

CONCLUSIONAmong the patients of developmental dysplasia of the hip of Hartofilakidis type I, the increasing of the femoral neck anteversion angle may not only lead to early onset and therefore early treatment of pain in the hip joint but also the lateral displacement of the femoral head that requires immediate medical attention.
