Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) in bladder is extremely rare. In this study, we reported one case of bladder SFT and reviewed the only ten cases of the disease that had been reported so far. The patient suffered from residual urine sensation and urethral pain. Cystoscopy revealed a 7-cm protruding mass at the dome of the bladder, and bladder mucosa biopsy showed normal differentiation of the bladder mucosa with a small amount of inflammatory cells. Radical resection of the tumor was performed in this patient. Pathological examination found uniform, haphazardly arranged spindle cells, the majority of which were CD34-positive and Vimentin-positive and proved that the mass was a solitary fibrous tumor. Within a period of 9 months of follow-up, no reoccurrence was found.

Objective To understand the molecular aberration at whole genomic level,CGH (comparative genomic hybridization) was used to investigate genetic abnormality in lung cancer.Methods Comparative genomic hybridization was performed in 17 cases to detect the global genomic aberration in cancer tissue cells.Results All of 17 cases detected by CGH showed chromosomal aberrations.The average numbers of chromosomal gains and losses in each case were 7.0 and 4.8 in NSCLC and 8.4 and 9.6 in SCLC,respectively.The frequency of gains and losses on chromosome had no significant differences between NSCLC and SCLC.The frequencies of gains on chromosomal arms 3q24 -28 and 11q13(58.3% and 58.3% ) in NSCLC were significantly higher than that in SCLC(0% and 0% ) ( P <0.05 and <0.05,respectively).Conclusions The cytogenetic aberration generally existed in lung cancer cells.Several regions ( more than one) of chromosomal aberration were involved in the carcinogenesis of NSCLC and SCLC.The regions and frequencies of chromosomal aberration in NSCLC were somewhat different from that in SCLC,which might result in the different biological behavior of the two types of lung cancer.The chromosomal aberration might be served as a marker to differentiate the two types of lung cancer.

Objective To observe ultramicro pathologic change of rabbit brain central damaged tissue and peripheral tissue after LOT, to evaluate the changed structure of blood brain barrier (BBB) of peripheral tissue in acute stage. Method Seventy Newzealand rabbits were randomly screened from Zhejiang University Animal Experiment Center. By stereotaxic technique, semiconductor surgica laser fibers were inserted into right frontal lobes and heat treated to randomly build LITT Group A (2 W, 600 s, n = 20) and LITT Group B (15 W, 100 s, n = 20) brain damaged models successfully. Other 15 nomal rabbits were randomly distributed as mannitol perfusion group and fake operation group. The ultramicro structures in central thermodamaged tissue were observed with transmission electro microscope after LITT 3 h,6 h,12 h,24 h. In peripheral tissue, ultramicro morphologic changes of brain vessels and BBB were evaluated. S100B protein in serum and BBB indexe were measured at different stages post LITT. Experimental data were treated as one-factor analysis of variance and q test. Results The brain damage center connected the tip of laser fiber and turn into thermodamage tissue. The main structure changes were cytoclasis, damnification of cell membrum, swelling of cell organelle such as mitochondrion, endoplasmic reticulurn,disappearance of mitochondrion and sparseness of cytoplasm in local tissure. Heat energy conducted to damage peripheral tissue, some cells occured apoptosis in different stage. In acute stage after LITT, contracted capillary vessel, oncreted red cell, swell endothelium cell, broken base membrum, wide around clearance and destroyed aperture structure were identified. The levels of serum S100B and BBB indexe dramatically rised. The opening time of BBB in peripheral tissue was longer than mannital perfusion group. However at 24 h post LITT, they began to recover in Group A. The difference of serum S100B and BBB indexe between Group A and Group B has statistical significance ( P =0.0087). Conclusions With semiconductor laser heat treatment and stereotaxic techniqe, definite cells cytoclasis, cell membrance structures and chondriosome damage could be performed obviously in rabbit brain thermotherapy point. Apoptosis could be found in peripheral tissue, BBB could be opened in an acute stage. The opening time course of BBB was shortened in those LITT cases with small power. It shew us a new method to perform a safe and exact damage zone of brain for functional neurosurgery.

A total of 26 patients comprising 14 with delayed fracture healing and 12 with bone nonunion were treated via subperiosteum and fractured spatial injection of osteoblasts. Bone marrow was extracted from posterior superior lilac spine to obtain osteoblasts following in vitro induction, culture and amplification. Subsequently, 5-8 mL osteoblasts at a density of 1 ×105 cells/mL was sterilely injected into subperiosteum and fractured interspace in injured region using X-ray positioning. At 4, 6, 10 and 14 weeks after injection, callus formation was checked using X-ray. All cases followed up for 3-12 months, with the means of 5.3 months. Callus was formed after 4 weeks, fractured ends were wrapped up by callus after 6 weeks, and fracture line was unclear after 10 weeks and disappeared after 14 weeks. Bone fracture was healed, with the mean healing time of 12.1 weeks, suggesting that percutaneous subperiosteum injection of osteoblasts is an effective method to treat delayed fracture healing and bone nonunion.
