Objective To explore the relationship of stromal derived factor 1α (SDF-1α) and CD44variant isoforms (CD44v6) with progress of multiple myeloma (MM). Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells(MNCs) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) from 24 cases of MM patients (14 cases of untreated and relapsed and 10 cases of stable MM patients) and 15 cases of subjects were investigated as potential SDF-1αand CD44v6 product. The level of SDF-1α and CD44v6 of the conditioned media from MM patients and subjects were analyzed by ELISA. Results The level of SDF-1α and CD44v6 from MNCs in untreated and relapsed MM patients [(7232.41 ± 2644.97) pg/ml and (34.34 ± 13.20) ng/ml] were significantly higher than stable MM patients [(2315.49 ± 748.29) pg/ml and (15.69 ± 5.28) ng/ml] (t =6.25, t= 7.82, P <0.05) and 15 subjects [(1149.52 ± 636.06) pg/ml and (4.85 ± 3.62) ng/ml] (t= 4.60, t = 7.61, P< 0.05). The level of SDF-1α in stable MM patients was different from healthy subjects (P <0.05), but the level of CD44v6 in stable MM patients was not different from controls. The level of SDF-1α and CD44v6 in stable MM patients were significantly higher than health subjects (t = 2.99, t= 4.87, P <0.05). The level of SDF-1α was also detected from BMSCs of MM patients. When human MM cell lines U266 were adhered to BMSCs of 9 untreated and relapsed MM patients,and added rhIL-6 to it, there was significant increase of SDF-1α, compared with BMSCs in subjects and MM patients. The expression level of SDF-lα was correlated with the level of CD44v6 (r =0.51, P =0.03). Conclusion The increase of SDF-1α (may be produced by myeloma cells and BMSCs) and CD44v6 (may be produced by myeloma cells) activity is associated with the progress or pathogenesis of MM, and may be involved with tumor invasion. The completion of these processes in vivo may need participation of myeloma cells, BMSCs, IL-6,SDF-lα and CD44v6.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinic and pathologic features of one patient diagnosed with neurocutaneous melanosis ( NCM ) by biopsy.MethodsA 21-year-old woman presented with a 2-month history of tinnitus,headache,vomiting and 1-month history of impaired vision.At birth,a massive nevus covering most of the posterior abdomen had been noted as well as the presence of multiple smaller lesions all over the body.Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a posterior fossa cyst compatible with the Dandy-Walker syndrome and extensive leptomeningeal enhancement. Surgery was performed to cystectomy and to obtain pathologic specimens from the leptomeninges. Biopsy and immunohistochemical study was performed.ResultsAt surgery,diffuse black pigmentation of the leptomeninges and the cyst was found.Under microscope,the cyst and leptomeninges were composed with melanocytes with variable pigmentation.Those cells positive for HMB45,MelanA,S100 and vimentin.Ki-67 positive cells < 1%.The pathologic diagnosis wasleptomeningeal diffusemelanocytosis. Thepatientdied 2months after thesurgery.ConclusionsNCM is characterized by a focal or diffuse proliferation of melanin-producing cells in both the skin and the leptomeninges.NCM could be compatible with the Dandy-Walker syndrome.Definite diagnosis relies upon the histological data obtained by mean of biopsy.

A 49-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with intermittent dizziness and fatigue for 7 years. The symptoms were aggravated and accompanied by bone pain for more than 4 months. She was referred to our hospital. Laboratory tests and imaging findings suggested that acquired Fanconi Syndrome (FS) was associated with smoldering multiple myeloma (MM). Renal biopsy and electron microscopy confirmed the diagnosis of proximal light chain tubular disease (LCPT). LCPT causes proximal tubular dysfunction, which is characterized by the cytoplasmic crystal deposition usually kappa monoclonal light chain in the proximal tubule. MM with FS and LCPT is less common in clinical practice because it is difficult to diagnose. This is a typical case focusing on the differential diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance(MGRS) such as LCPT and plasma cells diseases.

Objective:To establish a model of patellar dislocation by femoral osteotomy or surgical release of medial retinaculum in immature rabbits, and observe morphological and trabecular microarchitectural changes in the trochlea.Methods:Forty rabbits at 3 months of age were included. All right knees underwent surgery, 20 knees were treated with femoral osteotomy and internal rotation of distal femur to increase femoral anteversion angle (Osteotomy group, OS group), and another 20 knees were treated with surgical release of medial retinaculum and overlap suture of lateral retinaculum (Soft tissue group, ST group). All left knees were acting as internal controls. Micro-CT scans for distal femur were acquired after 4 months post surgery. the height of Medial, central, and lateral trochlear, sulcus angle, and lateral and medial trochlear slope were measured to describe the trochlear morphology, and bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp), and bone mineral density (BMD) were calculated to evaluate the microarchitectural structure. All parameters were compared between groups.Results:In OS group, one rabbit sustained a hip dislocation without patellar dislocation. Three knees developed complete patellar dislocation in daily flexion position, and the remaining 16 patellae were dislocated when the knee was placed in the maximal extension position. In ST group, 15 knees were complete patellar dislocation in daily flexion position, and 5 knees were without dislocation. A local boss was formed proximal to the entrance of the groove and the articular cartilage was smooth, and no obvious osteoarthritis was observed in OS group. In ST group no boss was formed, while obvious cartilage degeneration and defect was seen. Compared to the control group, the central trochlear height and sulcus angle were greater in both groups, but without significant difference between the two groups. The Tb.Th was increased in both medial and lateral condyle, and Tb.N was decreased in medial condyle compared with its control knees in OS group. The BV/TV, Tb.Th, Tb.N and BMD were decreased and Tb.Sp was increased in both medial and lateral condyle compared with its control knees in ST group. Compared to the OS group, the BV/TV, Tb.Th, Tb.N and BMD were smaller and Tb.Sp was greater in both medial and lateral condyle in ST group, with significant differences.Conclusion:The model of patellar dislocation could be successfully achieved by femoral rotational osteotomy to increase femoral anteversion or surgical release of medial retinaculum and overlap suture of lateral retinaculum, and subsequent morphological and trabecular microarchitectural changes in the trochlea are different. Different bony and soft tissue factors should be addressed for different patients with patellar dislocation in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the placement of a drainage tube on the prognosis of patients with pelvic fractures treated by modified Stoppa approach.Methods:The medical records of patients with pelvic fractures treated with modified Stoppa approach from August 2012 to August 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 43 patients including 32 males and 11 females (mean age 47.6 years, range from16 to 69) were included in the study. According to Young-Burgess classification, there were 12 cases of Lateral Compression type LC-I type; 20 cases of Anterior and Posterior Compression type APC-I type and 11 cases of APC-II type. All patients were treated with modified Stoppa approach to reduce the fracture and fix with plate and screw. According to whether a drainage tube was placed during the operation, 22 cases were placed with a drainage tube (drainage group), and 21 cases were not placed with a drainage tube (non-drainage group). The main observation indicators were the intraoperative conditions, antibiotic application, incision suture removal time, postoperative body temperature change, hospital stay and clinical function (Harris score).Results:Wound infection was not observed in two groups. The duration of antibiotic use in the drainage group was 5.0 d (2.0, 8.0) d, and the non-drainage group was 4.0 d (2.0, 5.0) d, the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=1.161, P=0.924). The hospital stays of the two groups were 18.5 d (15.0, 24.3) d and 19.0 d (13.0, 26.0) d, respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=0.542, P=0.591). The operation time was 150.2±52.4 min in the drainage group and 138.8±41.2 min in the non-drainage group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.791, P=0.433). The blood loss in the drainage group was 604.6±387.3 ml, and the non-drainage group was 581.0±275.0 ml. The difference was not statistically significant ( t=0.276, P=0.784). The postoperative body temperature changes of patients in the drainage group and non-drainage group were on day 1 (37.5±0.5 ℃ vs. 37.4±0.4 ℃, t=0.322, P>0.05), day 3 (37.1±0.4 ℃ vs. 37.0±0.4 ℃, t=0.286, P>0.05), day 5 (37.0± 0.3 ℃ vs. 36.8±0.2 ℃, t=2.127, P>0.05), on the 7th day (36.8±0.2 ℃ vs. 36.7±0.4 ℃, t=0.491, P>0.05), the difference was not statistically significant. The time for suture removal of surgical incision was 14.1±0.6 d in the drainage group and 13.9±0.6 d in the non-drainage group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( t=1.072, P=0.329). The Harris scores of the two groups were 96 (91, 100) points for the drainage group and 96 (93, 97) points for the non-drainage group, and the difference was not statistically significant ( Z=0.107, P=0.607). Conclusion:There is no significant influence of the application of drainage on recovery of wound or function for patients with pelvic surgery.
