Objective: To evaluate the effect of concomitant chemoradiotherapy for the prevention of recurrence and metastasis of postoperative salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma(SACC).Methods: 14 cases of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma after operation were treated with concomitant chemoradiotherapy. Regular radiotherapy of 60 Gy and chemotherapy with hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) at 10 mg/m 2 , 3 times a week, were administered. HCPT was given in 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th week. Recurrence and metastasis of SACC after operation were observed using CT, MRI, ultrasonography and X ray. Results: After 3～17 months' follow up, relapse free survival was 100%. No recurrence and metastasis of SACC after operation were found. Adverse reactions of the chemotherapy were nausea, vomiting and leukopenia. After suspended in a short time and using ondansetron and /or G CSF the chemotherapy of HCPT was continued and completed. Conclusion: concomitant chemoradiotherapy of HCPT and radiotherapy can prevent recurrence and metastasis of SACC after operation. The efficacy of long term needs further observation.

The basic concept of gene therapy is to introduce a therapeutic gene into a cell, whose expression can improve to healing of wound. To achieve this goal, the suitable therapeutic gene has been selected and delivered into the reparative cell, which is becoming a focal point works about gene therapy in wound healing. There have been several different therapeutic genes and gene transfer strategies that have been used in models of wound healing. This article discusses several methods that have been used to deliver genes encoding growth factor proteins, stem cells into wounds and the advantages/disadvantages of each approach. We hope a safe vectors system to deliver the effectual transgene in wound healing.

To explore the activities of signal transduction pathway involved in heat-stressed fibroblast in vitro. Human dermal fibroblasts were cultured in Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium with 5% calf serum at 5%CO 2 in a water-saturated atmosphere. Cultured cells were heated to 45℃ for 10min. Western blotting was used to detect ERK1/2 and JNK expression, and the expression of caspase-3 protein was observed by immunoflurescence technique. The results showed that the MAPKs signal transduction pathway was activated in heat-stressed fibroblasts. The expression of JNK reached the peak at 60min, then maintained up to 180min. The expression of ERKs peaked at 30min, then lowered. The expression of caspase-3 was weak at 30min after heat-stress, and became evidently strong at 60min. The signal pathway of ERKs and JNK played important roles in the changes in biologic characteristics of fibroblasts after heat-stress.

TCP is more absorbable and more feasible for new bone tissue regeneration than HA.

To investigate the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on intracellular free Ca 2+ of heating injury, and observe the relationship between mitogen activated protein kinases(MAPKs)signal pathways and Ca 2+ mobilization. Cultured human fibroblasts were heated at 45?C for 10min, then divided into four groups :①basic fibroblast growth factor (10ng/ml) treatment; ②preincubated cells with PD98059 (10?mol/L) for 30 min followed by bFGF (10ng/ml); ③preincubated cells with SB203580 (10?mol/L) for 30min followed by bFGF (10ng/ml); ④preincubated cells with PD98059 (10?mol/L) and SB203580 (10?mol/L) for 30min followed by bFGF (10ng/ml). The cells were incubated with fluorescence Ca 2+ dye fluo 3/AM at 37 C for 30min, then measured by using laser scanning confocal microscope. The results showed fluorescent intensity of fibroblast heating injury was weak, the concentration of intracellular free Ca 2+ increased after stimulation with bFGF treatment. PD98059 and SB203580 could induce calcium oscillation. A rapid decrease of fluorescent intensity was observed after cells were preincubated with PD98059 and SB203580 at the same time. bFGF induced an increase of cytoplasmic and intracellular free Ca 2+ concentrations. It is suggested that MAPKs signaling pathway has a feedback regulation for free Ca 2+ mobilization.

Objective To investigate the relationship between retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and peripheral neuropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods Clinical data of elderly patients with T2DM in Endocrinology Department in Beijing Hospital were retrospectively collected.Global and sectorial retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thicknesses were measured by using optical coherence tomography(OCT),and never conduction velocity measurements were performed in all patients.Diabetic peripheral neuropathy was diagnosed by the criteria in diabetic neuropathies update(2010,American Diabetes Association).RNFL thickness was compared between diabetic nonperipheral neuropathy group (control group,n =30)and diabetic peripheral neuropathy group (DPN group,n=17)and between different sub-groups.Results The RNFL thicknesses of temporal,nasal,superior and inferior visual fields and the mean RNFL thickness were less in DPN group than in control group,among which there were significant differences in the RNFL thicknesses of superior,inferior visual fields and the mean RNFL thickness [(107.7±27.4)μm vs.(128.1±17.3)μm,(112.9 ±20.8)μm vs.(130.8±21.8)μm,(88.2±15.5)μm vs.(100.5± 11.3)μm,F=7.446,7.468,7.988,respectively,P=0.009,0.009 and 0.007].RNFL thickness was decreased along with the aggravation of DPN from the control group,the subclinical DPN group to the DPN group successively(all P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness is associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes,and the relationship is more significant in patients with serious DPN.

Objective To investigate the echocardiographic features in patients with right atrial myxoma and thus evaluate the value of echocardiog?raphy in the diagnosis of right atrial myxoma. Methods The echocardiographic findings of 20 patients with right atrial myxomas were retrospectively analyzed,and the echocardiographic features of these patients were summarized. Results The main clinical symptoms of right atrial myxoma includ?ed chest tightness,shortness of breath,lower limb edema,and syncope. Of these 20 patients,the echocardiography showed that the average size of the right atrial myxomas was 3.11 cm × 2.90 cm to 7.44 cm × 4.52 cm. The myxomas were round or oval shape in 15 patients(75%)and lobulated shape in 5(25%). The myxomas were attached to the atrial septum in 15 patients(75%)and to right atrial free wall in 25%of the patients. The aver?age width of the basement was 1.62±0.30 cm,and the width was greater than 1 cm in 80%of the patients had the width over 1 cm. Some myxomas had internal areas of calcification and anechoic cystic areas. The percentages of patients with the blocking of right atrium,tricuspid and pulmonary hy?pertension were 70%,50%,and 10%,respectively. Conclusion The echocardiographic features of right atrial myxoma were specific. Echocardiog?raphy can accurately assess the tumor and identify the secondary changes in cardiac structure and hemodynamics and thus provide evidence for time?ly and accurate diagnosis of right atrial myxoma.

Objective To observe the granule tissue remodeling under neoepithelium in minitype pigs' full thickness dermal wounds and discuss the relation between the remodeling and possible ulcers or scars. Methods After the establishment of eight full-thickness dermal wound models with the diameter of 4 cm on the back of six minitype pigs, the specimens were collected from wound edge and wound center immediately, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 45 days, respectively after injury for HE staining, immunohistochemical staining and Van Gieson staining and then observed under light microscope to count the cell number, fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells as well as evaluate the quantity and arrangement of collagens. Results The mean wound healing time was (29.3?1.8) days. After 9-25 days, the granule tissues in the wound center contained more cells, fibroblasts, collagen and vascular endothelial cells than those under neoepithelium of wound edge (P 0.01). Meanwhile, the collagen quantity and arrangement style of granule tissues under neoepithelium during wounds healing (12-30 days) assembled those under neoepithelium 15 days after wound healing. Conclusion Granule tissue remodeling exists during the healing of full thickness dermal wound.

Objective To investigate the possible signal transduction pathway during the course of recombinant human platelet derived growth factor (rhPDGF) promoting cutaneous incisional wound healing in diabetic rats. Methods Four full thickness skin wounds were incised in the back of 26 Wistar rats with diabetes mellitus that were randomly divided into two groups, Group A (diabetic rats control) and Group B (treated with rhPDGF at 7.0 ?g/cm2 wound). The granulation, collagen sedimentation, the reepithelialization rate of rhPDGF as well as the inflammatory cell filtration were observed 3,7 and 14 days after wound. Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the expression of ERKs either around the wound and in the wound center and immunohistochemical method applied to observe the changes of c-fos, proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and focal adhesion kinase (FAK). Results The histological investigation showed a lot of granule tissues in the bed of wound, a large of inflammatory cells infiltration and collagen deposition, active growth of granule tissues and significant wound contraction. The number of blood capillary buds and fibroblasts in the Group B were more than that in the Group A. The immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of ERK1 and c-fos increased significantly three days, strengthened seven days and went weak 14 days after rhPDGF application. In the Group B, at every time point, the expressions of PCNA and FAK were more significant than those in the Group A. Conclusions ERK1/2 signal pathway exerts function in rhPDGF accelerating wound healing of rats with diabetes mellitus and plays an important role in proliferation and migration of reparative cells.
