China Oncology 2010;20(1):27-30
Background and purpose: Mouse osteosarcoma model was widely used in osteogenic malignant tumor research, and it was helpful for studying the invasion and metastasis of the tumor cells when it was well marked in vivo. The purpose of this study was to establish mouse sarcoma cell lines (S180) that were infected with enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP). Methods: EGFP-S180 expressing strong EGFP fluorescence was acquired by electroblot, and supplemented with G418 (800 mg/mL), c-Myc was detected by laser scanning confocal microscopy. Meanwhile, the cancer-bearing model was established subcutaneously within the abdominal cavity. Results: EGFP-S 180 cells were cloned. There was no significantly difference between c-Myc expressions in S180 cells and those in EGFP-S180 cells (P>0.05), and between the cancer-bearing time subcutaneously and the time within abdominal cavity (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to in vitro and in vivo assay, it showed that EGFP-expressing S180 cells could be used for studying further the tumor biological behavior with fluorescence technology.

Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2005;0(10):-
Objective To assess the incidence rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with propofol versus sevoflurane-based anesthesia with or without ondansetron in patients undergone gynecological laparoscopy. Methods Totally 138 patients were randomly divided into three groups: sevoflurane group (Sev group) sevoflurane-ondansetron group (Sev-O group),and propofol TIVA group (TIVA group),with 46 cases in each. In the Sev and Sev-O groups,anesthesia was maintained by inhalation of 50% N2O and sevoflurane;in the Sev-O group,8 mg of prophylactic ondansetron was given intravenously 30 minutes prior to the end of the operation. In the TIVA group,target-controlled infusion of propofol and remifentanil were used. In each group,the incidence of nausea and vomiting and use of antiemetic drugs in 24 hours after the surgery were recorded. Results In 0 to 2 hours after the operation,the incidence rate of nausea and vomiting in the TIVA group was significantly lower than that in the Sev group [22% (10/46) vs 54% (25/46),?2=10.376,P=0.001] and Sev-O group [50% (23/46),?2=7.986,P=0.005]. In 2-6 hours,the rate in the Sev-O group was lower than that in the Sev group [22% (10/46) vs 46% (21/46),?2=5.887,P=0.015]. The total incidence rate of nausea and vomiting in 24 hours after the operation was 57% (26/46) in the TIVA group,which was significantly lower than that in the Sev group [80% (37/46),?2=6.093,P=0.014]. In the Sev,Sev-O,and TIVA groups,there were 13 (28%),6 (13%),and 6 (13%) cases respectively received antiemetic drugs after the surgery. Conclusions Compared with sevoflurane-based anesthesia,propofol TIVA results in a lower rate of PONV after gynecological laparoscopy.
7.Implantation techniques for dislocation of atlas-axis joint: Biocompatibility and biomechanics
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(13):-
BACKGROUND: Gallie, Brooks steel wire, and Halifax vertebral plate clamp are tools for internal fixation of atlas-axis joint. They can keep the flexion-extension stability of atlas-axis joint, but weaken the ability to against lateral bending and rotation. Magerl+Gallie implantation shows good biomechanics stability, but cannot well prevent axial dislocation. OBJECTIVE: To introduce the surgical technique from posterior approach for atlas, and explore the effect on biocompatibility and biomechanics of implants. RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: The articles related to atlas-axis joint dated between January 1970 and June 2007 were retrieved through Pubmed, PML, OVID and Wanfang database using of "atlas, axis, dislocation, fixation, posterior" and "atlas, dislocation, internal fixation, implant, posterior approach, biocompatibility, biomechanics" in Chinese. All collected articles were selected firstly and the articles related to implants, surgical skills, and biomechanics were selected. For articles in identical field, only those published in recently or in authoritative journals were selected. Repetitive articles and Meta analysis were excluded. 127 articles met the criteria and 30 of them were involved. LITERATURE EVALUATION: The articles involved were related to the surgical treatment of dislocation of atlas-axis joint. Of 30 articles, 3 were review articles, 3 were monographs, and the others were clinical or basic researches. DATA SYNTHESIS: ①Lateral mass and pedicle screw implantation techniques can achieve three-dimensional fixation. ②The screw entrance points of atlantoaxial pedicle screw implantation is higher than lateral mass technique, it is unnecessary to expose C1, posterior arch and other deep parts of anatomic structures. C2 nerve root and venous plexus are not separated completely, which reduce injury rate and blood loss. In addition, screw passage of pedicle screw is longer than Harms technique, so screw can completely contact with skeleton to enhance the fixation. CONCLUSION: Atlantoaxial fixation by posterior pedicle screw implantation shows good biomechanics and biocompatibility. It may become the optimal approach for atlantoaxial short segmental fixation.

10.Organic acidemia/aciduria and therapy
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2014;21(6):351-353
The organic acidemia/aciduria is one of the most common inherited metabolic disorders in clinic,more than 50 species have been found until now.The illness is believed to be caused by gene mutation,leading to the reduction or loss of enzyme activity and the accumulation of carboxylic acid and its metabolites.The manifestations of increased blood organic acids include refractory metabolic acidosis,paroxysmal vomiting,feeding difficulties,hypotonia,convulsions and disturbance of consciousness.Most of the organic acidemia begins in neonatal period or infancy,accompanied by progressive neurological damages at most of the time.There are little specific clinical features can be found in this kind of diseases,therefore,early diagnosis and treatment must be initiated in order to decrease risk of neurological induries and damages or acute deaths.So application of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry is important to the early diagnosis,helpful for improving the outcomes and reducing child mortality.
