Results:There were 2 CR and 9 PR, the overall response rate was 68.8% (11/16). Main side effects were grade Ⅰ—Ⅱ leucopenia, nausea and vomitting, alopecia.Conclusions:This study confirmed that combination chemotherapy with high dose epirubicin is a safe and effective regimen for patients with advanced breast cancer and is worthy of further clinical trial.

Objective To explore the clinical features of nephrotic syndrome combined with H1N1 influenza. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory and image examinations, treatment, and prognosis of nephrotic syndrome combined H1N1 influenza were retrospectively analyzed in 15 children with. Results All of 15 children with nephrotic syndrome met the diagnostic criteria of H1N1 influenza. The median age of all children was 4-year-8-month old (2-year-2-month to 6-year-9-month). All children were treated with hormone alone or combined with other immunosuppressive drugs. Three cases were severe and another 5 cases were critically ill. Four cases were complicated with recurrence of nephrotic syndrome, 2 of which suffered from acute renal insufficiency. All children were given oseltamivir as antiviral treatment at admission. Four cases took oseltamivir within 48 hours of onset and showed mild symptoms. Fourteen children with H1N1I influenza were cured, their urinary proteins were significantly decreased or converted to negative, and the median hospital stay was 8 days (1 to 25 days). One child died of acute necrotizing encephalopathy and brain herniation. Conclusions Children with nephrotic syndrome are susceptible to severe or critical H1N1 influenza infections. During the epidemic of H1N1 influenza, the clinical preventive measures should be taken in children with nephrotic syndrome.

OBJECTIVE: Small diameter vascular grafts (＜ 6 mm) are used predominantly in revascularization and reconstructive procedures. The small diameter vascular grafts already used in our clinical practice include autologous veins or arteries, polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) synthetic vascular grafts. Unfortunately these vascular grafts all have some disadvantages that prohibit their uses. Therefore search for ideal small diameter vascular grafts has become the focus in recent years.DATA SOURCES: A computer-based online search of Pubmed database was undertaken to identify the articles about small diameter vascular grafts published in English between January 1990 and January 2007 with the key words of "prosthetic graft, vascular bypass graft, small diameter vascular graft, tissue engineering".STUDY SELECTION: The data were selected firstly to choose the full-text of articles met the criteria. Inclusion criteria: ① Articles about biological vascular grafts; ②Articles about synthetic vascular grafts; ③Articles about small diameter tissue engineering blood vessels. Exclusion criteria: Repetitive or analogical articles or case reports.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 113 articles on small diameter vascular grafts were collected and 41 met the inclusive criteria after eliminated the repetitive or similar studies or case reports.DATA SYNTHESIS : Although biological vascular grafts have the outstanding advantages, such as superior long-term patency, relatively resistant to infection, minimal thromboembolism, etc., they also have predominant disadvantages of limited availability, durability and aneurysm formation. Dacron and ePTFE are currently the standard synthetic vascular grafts in the vascular bypass surgery, but their immediate or long-term patency rates are relatively poor due to compliance mismatch, thrombogenicity and poor haemodynamics, especially when they are used in small diameter revascularization and reconstructive procedures. Thus, various modifications have been applied to Dacron and ePTFE grafts to improve their function. In recent two decades, the emergence of tissue-engineering technology has made the development of a novel biologically viable vascular substitute feasible, and it may prove to be the ultimate solution for better small-diameter vascular grafting.CONCLUCTION: So far there is no completely biodegradable small diameter vascular graft suitable for the arterial circulation in humans. Construction of an ideal small-diameter vascular graft will require an interdisciplinary effort requiring critical contributions from biologists, engineers, and clinicians, with strong collaborations among these 3 fields being crucial to success.

Objective To investigate a periosteal autograft method to repair major defects of joint cartilage in rabbits of different ages. Methods Major cartilage defects of 52 rabbits aged 4 to 52 weeks were repaired with free periosteal grafts and the results were compared in the study. The regenerated cartilage by the cambium of periosteum growing up to the cavity of joint and that growing down to the cancellus of femur were also compared. Results The macroscopical and histological observations at different intervals showed that in young and adult rabbits the grafts could develop into cartilages to repair the major cartilage defects. In adult rabbits the newly formed cartilage was the same as the normal cartilage in thickness and histology. There was no difference between the cambium growing up to the cavity and that growing down to the cancellus. Conclusions Periosteum possesses chondrogenic potential and can be used to repair the cartilage defects. Different directions of chondrogenesis leads to no significantly different outcomes. In adult rabbits the newly formed cartilage can develop into a normal one.

Objective To study the MRI features of normal and abnormal axillary lymph nodes so as to explore the evaluation of MR breast coil on metastasis of axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer before operation.Methods MR scanning was made on 119 axillas from 24 healthy volunteers,23 patients with benign breast disease and 43 patients with breast cancer with MR breast coil.The shape,border,size,number and signal intensity of axillary lymph nodes in every group were comparatively studied.The features of the axillary lymph nodes of the patients with breast cancer were compared with the histopathologic results.Results Axillary lymph nodes were detected in 15 out of the 48 healty volunteer axillas (31.25%).The shape,border,size,number and signal intensity of axillary lymph nodes had no significant difference between the patients with benign breast disease and the patients with breast cancer with no metastasis lymph nodes (LN-)and the healthy volunteers.The shape,border,size,and enhancement pattern of the patients with axillary lymph nodes metastasis(LN+)were statistically different from that of the above mentioned three groups.Conclusion MRI is an effective method to evaluate the status of axillary lymph nodes before operation.It provides useful evidences for clinical operation and treatment.
