[Objective] To study the relationship between arthrochalasis and developmental dislocation of hip(DDH).[Methods]One hundred and seventy-six patients with DDH treated from Jaunary 2006 to December 2006 in the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were evaluated retrospectively.The average age was 3.54 years old(range,from 6 months to 15 years),with 153 females and 23 males.Eighty-four patients had both,58 left and 34 right.Totally 192 normal children were controls,and the average age was 3.67 years old(range,from 4 months to 15 years).The diagnosis of DDH was depended on clinical manifestations,radiography and ultrasonography.The criteria of arthrochalasia were the standards proposed by Wynne Davies.SPSS version 10.0 for Windows was used to perform statistical analysis.?2 test and spearman test was conducted for obtained data.A P

Objective:To determine the distribution of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) and Treg subsets in human colorectal carcinoma microenvironment and to explore their correlation with conventional clinico-pathological features.Methods:Frozen sections and Immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to detect FOXP3+ Treg in fresh specimen collected from 42 patients with colorectal carcinoma.The number of FOXP3+ Treg was evaluated in terms of its association with clinico-pathological feature in tumor and peri-cancer tissue.Double staining was performed to determine the expression of ICOS and FOXP3.Results:The number of FOXP3+ Treg in the colorectal carcinoma (mean 24.1) was significantly higher than that in peri-cancer tissue (mean 0.7).A higher number of tumor infiltrating FOXP3+ Tregs was found in the patient groups with poor differentiation,lymphatic metastasis and non-distant metastasis as compared to the patient groups with well differentiation,non-lymphatic metastasis and distant metastasis.The percentage of FOXP3+ ICOS+ Treg was higher in colorectal carcinoma(81%) than that in peri-cancer tissue(10%).Conclusion:Increased FOXP3+ Treg may influence the occurrence and development of colorectal carcinoma.Our data support the hypothesis that tumor infiltrating FOXP3+ Tregs attenuate the immune response against cancer and suggest that strategy to overcome FOXP3+ Treg function may be beneficial in the treatment of human colorectal cancer.

[Objective] This study examined the distribution and the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) in the ligamentum teres of children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) and normal persons in order to investigate the roles of PDGF-A in hip joint laxity. [Methods]There were six pairs of joint laxity of children with DDH and normal children (control group) matched to gender and age. Immunohistochemistry (SP method) method was used to detect the location and distribution of the PDGF-A in the ligamentum teres,and to semi-quantify their content.Semiquantitative RT-PCR method was used to detect the PDGF-A in the ligamentum teres at mRNA level. The quantitative analysis of the PDGF-A was performed by professional image software and the results were analyzed with standard statistical methods.[Results]High density expression was observed in the synovial layer with fibroblast regularly arranged parallel to the joint surface in the ligamentum teres. PDGF-A distribution was decreased in the fibrous layer of the ligamentum teres. There were significant differences in the percentage of positive fibroblast and gray-scale density in the fibrous layer between DDH group and control group (P

Objective To evaluate the relationship between fragile fracture sites in hospitalized geriatric and nutritional status.Methods On the basis of whether the fracture,293 cases were divided into fracture group(n =140)and normal control group(n =153),51 males(36.4%)and 89 females(63.6%)in 140 fracture patients. Results The age was (74.04 ±8.58)years in the fracture group,that in the normal control group was (74.77 ± 8.14)years,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(t =-0.743,P >0.05).The femoral neck fracture was 51 cases(36.4%)and intertrochantetic fracture was 57 cases(40.7%),and other was 32 cases (22.8%).The patients were divided into the two groups according to the age:60 ~75 years group(n =62)and >75 years group(n =78),femoral neck fracture was 37.2%,and intertrochantetic fracture was 52.6% in the group that more than 75 years old,which were 35.5% and 25.8%,respectively in 60 ~75 years group,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups(χ2 =18.337,P <0.01).The hemoglobin,serum albumin weight,weight,BMI in the fracture group were (117.44 ±20.25)g/L,(34.96 ±4.95)g/L,(60.81 ±10.63)kg,(22.83 ±3.54)kg/m2 , and those in the normal control group were (136.99 ±17.10)g/L,(37.27 ±5.85 )g/L,(64.47 ±11.23)kg, (24.24 ±3.88)kg/m2 respectively.The commonly used nutritional indicators:hemoglobin(t =-8.908),serum albu-min(t =-3.619),weight(t =-2.837)and BMI(t =-3.218)were lower than the normal control group(all P <0.01 ),serum phosphate was lower than the normal control group,the difference was statistically singnificant (t =-2.047,P <0.05).The blood calcium(t =0.630)and ALP(t =-0.550)had no statistically singnificant differences between the two groups(all P >0.05).Conclusion The proportion of intertrochantetic fracture and femo-ral neck fracture were higher in hospitalized elderly patients,and malnutrition,such as lower hemoglobin,lower serum albumin,lower weight,and lower BMI were,important factors in the fragile fracture in the geriatric inpatients.

Objective To assess the value of the dynamic enhanced MR (DE-MRI)morphological features in diagnosis of non lac-tation mastitis.Methods We retrospectively studied the breast DE-MRI image data of 1 5 patients with non lactation mastitis con-firmed by pathology were retrospectively studies and the lesion morphological features and distribution were analyzed.Results Amonge 1 5 patients with non lactation mastitis,6 cases were the plasma cell mastitis,5 cases were granulomatous mastitis,2 cases were abscess,and 2 cases were cyst associated with inflammation.The typical features of non lactation mastitis on DE-MRI were fast wash-in,centrifugal enhancement sign,blur boundaries between lesions and normal breast tissue,increasing unilateral vessel sign in diseased breast.Conclusion Breast DE-MRI can show typical morphological features of non lactation mastitis.When dynam-ic information is obtained inconveniently,these are helpful in diagnosing and differential diagnosing non lactation mastitis.
