Objectives:To investigate the expression of regulators survivin and Ki 67 in rhabdomyosarcoma(RMS), and to evaluate their relationship with clinicopathological features. Methods: Immunohistochemical technique(S P) and image analysis were used to detect the expression of regulators survivin and Ki 67 in 43 cases of RMS and 10 normal skeletal muscles. Results: Expression of survivin was detected in 86% of the RMS, with higher levels in RMS than in normal skeletal muscles ( P

Objective To explore the incidence rate, total incidence numbers and possible impacting factors of non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods The NMS questionnaire (NMS Quest) was used to investigate 131 out-patients diagnosed with PD, and the prevalence of each item, the total NMS numbers and their relationships with clinical features were assessed. Results All of the patients, who were distributed in every stage of PD, had NMSs and each case with 11 items on average. Autonomic symptoms such as nocturia and constipation were the most frequent ones. The patients over 65 versus less than 65 years old had a higher prevalence in a number of items such as olfactory disturbance, dysphagia and constipation. At the same time, the rigidity subtype patients had a higher prevalence in depression items than the tremor subtype ones.The total number of NMS was positively correlated with course of disease, age, UPDRS score and Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) stage. Conclusions NMSs are common among PD patients. While the prevalence of each item may vary with different clinical features, the total number of NMS is increased with the severity of PD. More attention should be paid to the diagnosis and rational treatment of the NMSs.

Objective To explore the mechnism of toxicity induced by cisplatin on renal proximal tubular cells(RPTC) line and anti-apoptosis mechanism of BCL-2 with transfection of different mutant BCL-2 in vitro.MethodsRPTC was translocated with different mutants BCL-2(s).Cell apoptosis induced by cisplatin on RPTC was analyzed with confocal and flurencent microscope.The cell apoptosis was measured with Hoechst33258 after treatment with cisplatin.Results Different mutant BCL-2(BCL-acta,BCL-cb5)were translocated on mitochondrial and Endoplasmic Reticulum(ER) respectively.BCL-acta protected RPTC from apoptosis induced by cisplatin more easily than BCL-cb5 group in a time-dependant manner(P

OBJECTIVE: To develop a method for determining the concentration of lamivudine in placental perfusate by employing ultra fast liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS). METHODS: Famotidine was used as the internal standard. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the chromatography was performed on a Shim-pack XR-ODS II C18 column (2.0 mm × 75 mm, 2.2 μm) with mobile phase consisting of methanol and 10 mmol · L-1 ammonium acetate, gradient elution was used, and the flow rate was 0.4 mL · min-1. Tandem mass spectrometric detection was conducted by using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive ionization mode with an electrospray ionization interface. RESULTS: The calibration curve of lamivudine was linear in the range of 1-2500 ng · mL-1. The intra- and inter-batch RSDs were less than 10%. The method recovery was more than 72%. CONCLUSION: The method is rapid and accurate, which is suitable for the determination of lamivudine in placental perfusate.

Objective To evaluate the role of arthroscopy in diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.Methods The data of 108 patients (118 knees) with osteoarthritis of the knee and received arthroscopic surgery were analyzed retrospectively including sign, X-ray and MRI examinations of knee, the average stage in hospital, diagnoses before and after operation, and prognosis.Results Arthroscopic surgery was of benefit to diagnosis and treatment of osteoarthritis of knee. The average stage in hospital was 11±7 days. The following-up of 98 patients showed that 82 patients were excellent, 16 patients good and only 1 patients not up to standard.Conclusion Arthroscopic surgery has following advantages such as less invasive surgery, shorter stage in hospital, good curative effect in the near future.

Objective To study whether Clonorchis sinensis eggs were involved in the pathogen esis of gallbladder stones.Method From March to August 2011,the gallbladder stones from 183 patients were studied using microscopic examination and FTIR spectroscopy.Twenty egg-positive and 20egg-negative gallbladder stones found under microscopic examination were chosen randomly and analyzed through real-time fluorescent PCR and scanning electron microscopy.Results Eggs were detected in 118 of 183 gallbladder stones.The eggs were preliminarily diagnosed as Clonorchis sinensis eggs using the morphologic characteristics under light microscope.The results of real-time fluorescent PCR showed eggs in the gallbladder stones were Clonorchis sinensis eggs.The 118 egg-positive gallbladder stones were composed of 97 pigment stones,21 mixed stones and no cholesterol stones.The detection rate of Clonorchis sinensis eggs in pigment stones were the highest among the three types of gallbladder stones (P＜0.001).The 20 egg-positive stones were observed by scanning electronic microscopy:dozens or even hundreds of Clonorchis sinensis eggs were visible under 400 times magnification; and a dozen or even dozens of Clonorchis sinensis eggs and the surrounding particles were adherent to or parceled with each other under 1000 times magnification.While under 3000 times magnification,uneven texture was seen on the surface of eggs with pieces being shed from some eggs.Some eggs were hollow or without cover.Most of them were adherent to or wrapped with amorphous particles or mucoid matter.Conclusions A large amount of Clonorchis sinensis eggs were detected in gallbladder stones.Clonorchis sinensis eggs were associated with the formation of gallbladder stones,especially with pig ment stones.

Objective To investigate the change of HepG2 liver tumor perfusion after microbubble enhanced ultrasound cavitation treatment and observe the related pathological injury.Methods Twenty eight Balb/c(nu/nu) nude mice transplanted subcutaneous HepG2 tumor were divided into three groups randomly,including the microbubble enhanced ultrasound cavitation group,the ultrasound group and the sham group.Microbubble enhanced ultrasound cavitation treatment was performed by 0.1 ml microbubbles intravenous injection combined with pulse ultrasound emission in experimental group,while in control groups only ultrasound exposure or microbubble injection were applied.The perfusion of tumors was imaged using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography before and after treatments.Time-intensity curve and peak intensity were analyzed.The tumors were then harvested for histological examination.Results The perfusion of HepG2 tumors almost vanished immediately after treatment in experimental group,with the peak intensity reduced from (26.9 ± 10.9)％ to(8.2 ± 5.8)％ (P ＜0.05).There was no significant changes before and after treatments (P ＞ 0.05) in the two control groups.Histological findings were disruption of the endothelia,significant hemorrhage and increased intercellular fluid.Conclusions Microbubble-enhanced ultrasound cavitation can significantly reduce tumor blood perfusion and disrupt tumor vascularture.This new ultrasound therapy can potentially become a new physical anti-angiogenetic therapy for liver tumor.

BACKGROUND:Heart valve surgery combined with coronary artery bypass grafting has been gradual y used for treatment of coronary heart disease combined with cardiac valve disease.
OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively summarize the experience of combined coronary artery bypass grafting and valvular procedure.
METHODS:Total y 51 patients who underwent combined heart valve surgery and coronary artery bypass grafting were retrospectively analyzed, including 10 cases with aortic valve replacement, 14 cases with mitral valve replacement, eight cases with mitral valve replacement combined with tricuspid annuloplasty, four cases with aortic valve and mitral valve replacement, three cases with aortic valve and mitral valve replacement combined with tricuspid annuloplasty, seven cases with mitral valvuloplasty, and five cases with mitral valvuloplasty combined with tricuspid annuloplasty.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biovalve replacement was performed in nine patients, mechanical valves replacement in 31 cases, mitral valvuloplasty in 11 cases and tricuspid annuloplasty in 16 cases. There were total y 109 bypass graft vessels, and the average number of coronary artery bypass grafts was (1.92±0.73) branches. Four cases died within 30 days postoperatively, and 47 patients were successful y discharged from the hospital. Forty-five of 47 discharging patients were fol owed for 3-48 months. One case died of cerebral infarction within 6 months postoperatively, and another case died of cardiac dysfunction over 1 year after operation. The heart function of 45 survival patients was significantly improved. The comprehensive analysis showed that improving the heart function preoperatively, strengthening myocardial protection, shortening operation and myocardial ischemia time, and complete revascularization are the key factors for successful operation.
