To compare and evaluate two methodologies, entire-sampling and micro-sampling for the harvesting of vitreous humor, the vitreous humor of rabbits were sampled with the two methods respectively, and the concentrations of calcium, chlorine, potassium, sodium and phosphorus of the were measured. The results showed that the differences in the variance coefficient and two-eye concentrations of micro-sampled specimens were less than those of the entire-sampled specimens. In the micro-sampling group, the concentrations of repeated micro-sampling showed no differences among different groups (P > 0.05) and the intra-ocular fluid dynamics did not have significant influence on post-mortem sampling. The sampling technique may affect the concentrations of specimen collected. Our study suggests that micro-sampling is less influenced by the human factor and is reliable, reproducible, and more suitable for forensic investigation.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) of the bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) gene with the morbidity and severity of the ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the spine in Chinese patients. MethodsThe venous blood samples of 200 OPLL patients and 200 non-OPLL controls were measured with the DNA sequences in four locus of BMP-4 gene with polymerase chain reaction(PCR). ResultsThere was a significant association between the rs17563,rs2855532 polymorphism and the occurrence of OPLL (P<0.05). The ''T'' allele in these 2 SNPs promotes the extent of OPLL (P<0.05). However, no significant association in morbidity and severity was found between the other 2 SNPs (rs1957860, rs2071047). ConclusionSNPs in rs17563,rs2855532 associates with the morbidity and severity of the ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine in Chinese patients.

BACKGROUND:Repair programs of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture included posterior plate screws, lateral plate screw and anterior and posterior lag screw fixation. To choose which fixation methods depends on clinical experiences of physicians. Study results are mainly clinical reports, and lack of mechanical evidence.
OBJECTIVE:To compare biomechanical changes in three fixed manners (lateral plate screw group, posterior plate screw group and anterior and posterior lag screw group) in the repair of posterolateral fracture of tibial plateau from the angle of biomechanics.
METHODS:A total of tibial specimens of six adult male antisepsis corpses (12 samples) were used for measuring bone mineral density of metaphysis. 1/2 posterolateral tibial plateau fracture model was established by electric pendulum saw. The model was randomly divided into three groups:lateral plate screw group, posterior plate screw group and anterior and posterior lag screw group. Finite element method and biomechanics were used to test axial displacement value and the maximal displacement distribution area under the axial loads of 250, 500, and 1 000 N.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in average bone density in three groups of metaphysis (P>0.05). The minimum axial displacement of the fracture fragments was in the anterior and posterior lag screw group (0.013 521 mm), fol owed by posterior plate screw group (0.016 991 mm), and the maximum was visible in the lateral plate screw group (0.138 200 mm) under 250 N load. Displacement value was similar to the 250 N under 500 and 1 000 N. According to the results of biomechanics, displacement values of anterior and posterior lag screw was obviously less than the lateral plate screw group and posterior plate screw group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the lateral plate screw group and posterior plate screw group (P>0.05). The maximal displacement distribution area was proximal tibiofibular joint border zone in two methods. These data indicated that the biomechanical stability was most advantageous in the anterior and posterior lag screw group, and poorest in the lateral plate screw group. In the clinic, anterior and posterior lag screw fixation can be used as a first choice for repair of posterolateral tibial plateau fracture.

OBJECTIVE:To provide evidence for strengthening education and training before clinical practice and employment guidance among pharmacy junior students of our university. METHODS:Anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted for our university. Questionnaire survey included student employment intention and internship units,relationship of internships with employ-ment,the tendency of employment after graduation,personal attitude about pharmaceutical professional development prospect,ex-pected monthly income in the first year of their career,etc. RESULTS:Totally 71 questionnaires were sent out,71 were effectively received. Among all respondents,74.3%(52 students)believed employment intention had great relationship with internship units;24.3%(17 students)thought employment intention had not great relationship with internship units;moreover,one student thought employment intention had no any relationship with internship units. Most students(94.3%,66 students)with good attitude on in-ternships believed it could accumulate work experience;32.9%(23 students) thought they could stay in the internship unit after practice;moreover,17.1%(12 students) believed practice had little effect on employment. Among them,94.0%(63 students) tended to be employed after graduation,and only 6.0% chose a graduate school to continue their studies. Among the students who chose employment after graduation,76.1%(51 students)tended to engage in pharmaceutical related work,while 17.9%(12 stu-dents) tended to be engaged in work nothing to do with pharmacy or self-employed. The majority (69.6%,48 students) believed that pharmaceutical major prospect was general and pharmaceutical major development varied from person to person;17.4%(12 students)thought pharmaceutical major had good prospect and was promising;13.0%(9 students)believed that pharmaceutical ma-jor had no good prospect and didn't know its prospect. Most of the students(78.2%,54 students)expected a monthly income of 2500-5000 yuan in the first year of their career;18.9%expected a monthly income more than 5000 yuan(13 students);the minor-ity expected a monthly income of 1500-2500 yuan or more than 8000 yuan. CONCLUSIONS:The view of students on internship and employment have a certain gap with the social situation. Related departments of colleges and universities need to adjust the thought of students and strengthen guidance.

Purpose:
We aimed to evaluate whether the addition of pemetrexed is effective in improving progression-free survival (PFS) in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)–mutated patients with or without concomitant alterations.
Materials and Methods:
This multicenter clinical trial was conducted in China from June 15, 2018, to May 31, 2019. A total of 92 non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring EGFR-sensitive mutations were included and divided into concomitant and non-concomitant groups. Patients in each group were randomly treated with EGFR–tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) monotherapy or EGFR-TKI combined with pemetrexed in a ratio of 1:1. PFS was recorded as the primary endpoint.
Results:
The overall median PFS of this cohort was 10.1 months. There were no significant differences in PFS between patients with and without concomitant and between patients received TKI monotherapy and TKI combined with pemetrexed (p=0.210 and p=0.085, respectively). Stratification analysis indicated that patients received TKI monotherapy had a significantly longer PFS in non-concomitant group than that in concomitant group (p=0.002). In concomitant group, patients received TKI combined with pemetrexed had a significantly longer PFS than patients received TKI monotherapy (p=0.013). Molecular dynamic analysis showed rapidly emerging EGFR T790M in patients received TKI monotherapy. EGFR mutation abundance decreased in patients received TKI combined chemotherapy, which supports better efficacy for a TKI combined chemotherapy as compared to TKI monotherapy. A good correlation between therapeutic efficacy and a change in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) status was found in 66% of patients, supporting the guiding role of ctDNA minimal residual disease (MRD) in NSCLC treatment.
Conclusion
EGFR-TKI monotherapy is applicable to EGFR-sensitive patients without concomitant alterations, while a TKI combined chemotherapy is applicable to EGFR-sensitive patients with concomitant alterations. CtDNA MRD may be a potential biomarker for predicting therapeutic efficacy.
