Objective To study the effect of rapid decompression on ultrastructure of the lung in rabbits. Methods Thirty healthy New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into low decompression group and rapid decompression group. The pulmonary ultrastructure of rabbits was observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results In rabbits of the rapid decompression group, a number of pathological changes were found, such as disruption of cell membrane structure of types Ⅰ and Ⅱ alveolar cells, loosening of intercellular linkage, edematous mitochondria, expanded rough endoplasmic reticulum, engorged capillary of alveolar wall, edematous capillary endothelium cells, and increased capillary permeability. These changes became especially obvious when the decompression peak value was above 9.8 kPa. Conclusion Rapid decompression could inflict injury to the lung, which was aggravated with the increase of the decompression peak value.

Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2007;0(26):-
BACKGROUND: Although the clinical effect of cervical disk replacement in short term has been ascertained, but the middle and long term result is not known, especially for the adjacent level. OBJECTIVE: To observe clinical result and effect of cervical disk replacement on adjacent level in middle and long term. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective case analysis was performed at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from December 2003 to March 2005. PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-three patients (aged 35-73 years) undergoing cervical disc replacement were followed up for 3 years. Of them, 25 patients received one-level disk replacement, and 8 received two-level disk replacement. METHODS: The clinical results and imaging before and after operation were compared. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical indexes including JOA grade, Odom’s grade, NDI, SF-36; X-ray: Kellgren X-ray grade, disk cervical height, disk motion, Pfirrmann disk grade, sigittal diameter of spinal cord, and compression of the spinal cord. RESULTS: The point of JOA is 13.62?2.31 before operation, 15.75?1.55 after operation; the differences were significant (P=0.000). For Kellgren X-ray, 10 levels occurred degeneration above the disk replacement level, accounted for 33% (P=0.004), and 9 levels developed degeneration below the disk replacement level, accounted for 32% (P=0.011). No obvious changes in imaging indexes were observed before and after surgery. CONCLUSION: The clinical outcome of cervical disk replacement is good in middle-term follow up. Some adjacent level degeneration may occur after cervical disk replacement, and the degeneration type is osteophyte formation in the adjacent level. This kind of adjacent level degeneration does not affect the clinical outcome in middle term follow-up.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and adverse effects of the teniposide-based regimen in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Methods Between March 2011 and July 2013, 16 patients with PCNSL were diagnosed and treated. The clinical characteristics, diagnosis,therapy, results and adverse effects were analyzed. Results Totally 16 patients were enrolled and diagnosed as primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. All patients received teniposide-based regimen chemotherapy and 9 patients received teniposide plus rituximab. The overall response rate was 87.5 % (14/16), including 10 cases of CR and 4 cases of PR. With a median follow-up of 13.5 months, the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates of 2 years were 29.9 % and 66.7 %, respectively. The mainly hematological adverse events were neutropenia, including grade 3 in 4 cases (25 %) and grade 4 just in one case. There was one case of treatment related death. Conclusions The response rate of teniposide-based regimen for PCNSL is promising. The 2 year PFS and OS rates are even higher than results of traditional high-dose methotrexate regimen. The teniposide-based regimen is well tolerated, and the adverse events are acceptable.
