Objective To evaluate the effect on treatment of multiple myeloma complicating femoral neck fracture by surgical intervention combined with drugs.Methods Twelve patients with multiple myeloma complicating femoral neck fracture were treated by cemented total hip arthroplasty femoral head shank.All of patients were received zoledronic acid treatment,at the same time,7 cases of them treated by MPT regimen (melphalan,methylprednisolone and thalidomide),3 by bortezomib combined with dexamethasone,and 1 by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.Results Twelve patients could tolerate surgery,postoperative pain was significantly reduced.Assessed by using Harris hip function score after 6 months operation,2 cases were excellent,7 cases were good,3 cases were common,excellent and good rate was 75％ (9/12).All patients were followed up for 8 months to 3 years,1 case of local recurrence after 13 months.1-year overall survival rate was 100％,2-year overall survival rate was 83％,and 3-year overall survival rate was 67％.Conclusions Multiple myeloma complicating femoral neck fracture,using bone cement in total hip arthroplasty femoral head shank to clear the local tumor lesions,receive reconstruction capability,rapid postoperative recovery,pain relief,and opportunities for further comprehensive treatments.The bisphosphonate can promote new bone formation and prevent further fractures.The surgical intervention combined with chemotherapy could relieve the symptoms,reduce tumor cell burden,improve quality of life and prolong survival time.

Intraoperative cell salvage ( IOCS) was conducted during cesarean delivery from May 2011 to April 2016 in our hospital: when the volume of autologous blood collected from the surgical field≥800 ml during surgery and the parturients′hemoglobin≤100 g∕L after hemorrhage, the autologous blood was centrifuged, concentrated, washed and then filtered using a leucocyte depletion filter before reinfusion. IOCS was carried out in 1 085 cases during cesarean delivery within 5 yr. For the parturients who underwent IOCS, the percentage of patients who did not require transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells was 82.95%(900 cases), the percentage of patients who required plasma transfusion was 41.66% (452 cases), the percentage of patients who required platelet transfusion was 3.32% (36 cases), and no autologous blood transfusion?related adverse reactions were found during surgery and hospital stay. In conclusion, IOCS could be safely and effectively used for blood?saving effect in cesarean delivery.

Objective Both right and left ventricular function should be taken into account in the assessment of anthracycline (ATC)-induced cardiotoxicity.The aim of this study was to assess the subclinical dysfunction of right cardiac system in patients with newly diagnosed lymphoma who received ATC treatment by echocardiography.Methods A total of 74 patients with lymphoma who received ATC treatment were enrolled.Each patient underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination before chemotherapy as well as after two,four and six cycles of ATC remedy.Right atrial (RA) and right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic area (EDA) and end-systolic area (ESA) were calculated.RV end-diastolic volume (EDV) and end-systolic volume (ESV),as well as RV ejection fraction (EF) were measured simultaneously.Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) measurements of systolic and early or late diastolic myocardial velocities of RV free wall at tricuspid annuals were also analyzed.Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) was conducted to evaluate RV free wall strain along with strain rate.Results None of the echocardiographic parameters showed significant alteration after two and four cycles of chemotherapy compared with those at baseline (P＞0.05).At the end of the therapy (i.e.after six cycles of ATC treatment),there was still no statistical difference on TDI data aswell as 2DSTE measurements (P＞0.05).An unexpected finding was that the RAEDA((6.6±1.9) cm2 vs (7.7±2.4) cm2) and RAESA ((8.8±2.5) cm2 vs (10.8±2.8) cm2) revealed obvious dilatation after six cures of the regimen compared with those at baseline (P＜0.01).Similar morphologic characteristics displayed on the RVEDA ((14.1 ±3.4) cm2 vs (16.2±3.7) cm2) and RVESA ((7.9±1.9) cm2 vs (9.0±2.2) cm2) (P＜0.01)simultaneously.Furthermore,RVEDV ((29.8±10.5) ml vs (37.0±12.7) ml) and RVESV ((12.7±4.4) ml vs (15.0±5.2) ml),as well as RVEF ((59.4±5.8)％ vs (56.4±5.8)％),in patients with lymphoma presented statistically significant difference between basic state and the level after six cycles of chemotherapy (P＜0.01).Meanwhile,no marked change was detected on left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) throughout the follow-up period (P＞0.05).Conclusions Echocardiography can be used easily and noninvasively to assess right cardiac system subclinical dysfunction.ATC-induced cardiotoxicity of right cardiac system is firstly manifested as morphological changes than the measurements with novel echocardiographic techniques.In addition,RVEF expresses as a valuable parameter for assessing subtle RV impaired performance in patients with lymphoma received ATC therapy.

Objective To investigate MRI manifestations of lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow changes before and after recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) was subcutaneous injected for healthy adults.Methods Twenty healthy blood stem cell donors without hematologic disease were enrolled in this study. All of them underwent lumbar sagittal and proximal femur coronal MRI examination with spin echo T1 WI and fat-suppressed T2WI.The first examination were performed before subcutaneous injection of rhG-CSF for comparison. In 4-7 days and 30-60 days after injection, the other two examinations were performed. The signal changes of lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow were investigated by reading pictures and calculating the contrasted noise ratio (CNR).ResultsBefore rhG-CSF injection, all patients presented normal signal intensity of hone marrow. In 4-7 days after injection, all the 20 cases presented homogeneous signal decrease in lumbar vertebral bodys on T1 WI, accompanied by reduced fatty signal. In proximal femur, patchy or stripped hypointensity areas were found in intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric areas on T1 WI. On fat-suppressed T2 WI images, the signal of lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow changed to equal or slightly-high signal intensity. In all cases,abnormal signal areas presented in lumbar and proximal femoral bone marrow occurred simultaneously in the same case.In the 10 cases received the third MRI during 30-60 days after rhG-CSF injection, signal intensity of lumbar bone marrow turned to normal in all sequence, but abnormal signal intensity areas were still existed and extended to distal part in femoral bone marrow, which appeared as symmetric stripped or patchy equal or slightly-low signal intensity on T1 WI and equal or slightly-high signal intensity on T2 WI. The CNR of lumbar bone marrow to subcutaneous fat before rhG-CSF injection, in 4-7 days and 30-60 days after rhG-CSF injection were 114. 11 ± 15. 11,71.04 ± 12. 25 and 91.64 ± 1 I. 68, respectively. Significant difference was found between before rhG-CSF injection and 4-7 days after injection ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) , but no significant difference between the others( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion After injection of rhG-CSF, the short-term changes of hematopoietic cells and fat content in bone marrow can be displayed on MRI, which provided non-invasive information for bone marrow transplantation.

Objective To evaluate X-ray and MRI features of limbs in childhood acute leukemia.Methods Thirteen children with acute leukemia in our pediatric hematology ward were recruited.Allpatients were pathologically diagnosed by bone marrow aspiration and complained of bone or joint pain in the first visit.ConventionaI X-ray and MRI examinations of algesic sites were performed before clinical treatment and after complete remission.MR images were obtained with SE-T1WI,SE-T2WI and T2WI-fat suppressed sequences and symmetria bilateralis was requested while scanning.X-ray and MRI manifestations were evaluated and compared.Resuits All 13 patients had received X-ray examinations.Among them,6 had normal X-ray findings,whereas the other 7(14 sites)showed various abnormalities including radiolucent metaphyseal bands(5 sites),periosteal reaction(3 sites),osteapenia(2 sites),mixed lesions(lysissclerosis,1 site),and permeative pattern(3 sites).The number of patients for MRI examinations was 8(11 sites).Among them,6(9 sites)showed bone marrow infiluration and bone marrow necrosis accompanied by normal X-ray findings,another 2(2 sites)showed bone marrow infiltration associated with radiographic abnormalities of periosteal reaction and radiolucent metaphyseal bands.Four cases were followed up within 1 week when reached complete remission by chemotherapy.MR images features included reduced sizes of bone marrow infiltration lesions associated with increased signal intensity on T1WI,and disappearance of double-line sign on bone marrow necrosis accompanied by signal homogenization.However,the radiograph before and after treatment in the same cases did not differ significantly.Conclusions MRI was earlier and more comprehensive in showing limbs bone marrow abnormality than radiogram in acute leukemia children with chief complaint of osteoarticular pains.MRI might be one of indicators in following up therapeutic effect for AL children with osteoarticular disorder.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using pure laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy to treat renal tumor with renal vein and vena caval thrombus. Methods Two ca-ses o{ right renal tumor with renal vein and vena caval thrombus were reported. Contrast-enchanced CT showed renal tumor extended into renal vein and vena cava in 1 case, and filling defect was found in right renal vein and extended to vena cava in the other. Both patients received pure laparoscopic ra-dical nephrectomy and thrombectomy through retroperitoneal approach. Four trocars were placed du-ring the operation, and the renal artery was dissected before the vena cava was mobilized circumferen-tially above and below the renal vein, a faparoscopic vessel blockage clamp was used to partly occlude the vena cava containing the thrombus. The vena cava was repaired after the intact tumor thrombus was extracted. Results The tumor thrombus extended 0.3 cm and 1.0 cm above the renal vein, re-spectively. Both patients were discharged 5 d after operation. Pathological examinations showed that tumors were epithelioid renal angiomyolipoma and grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ clear cell carcinoma separately. Both patients were free of local recurrence and metastasis 5 months after operation. Conclusion Pure la- paroscopic radical nephrectomy and thrombectomy for renal tumor with vena caval and renal vein thrombus is feasible in carefully selected patients.

Objective To evaluate the subclinical dysfunction of left ventricle (LV) induced by anthracycline(ATC) in patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2DSTE) as well as real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE).Methods Traditional echocardiography images and RT3DE images were acquired from 59 patients with DLBCL before,after the completion of two cures(100 mg∕m 2)and four cures of the regimen(200 mg∕m 2).LV global longitudinal strain(GLS),global circumferential strain(GCS),LV apical rotation and basal rotation,LV end-diastolic volume (EDV),end-systolic volume (ESV),stroke volume(SV) and ejection fraction(EF)were calculated simultaneously.Results Compared with baseline, LV apical rotation and basal rotation reduced significantly after two cures and four cures of therapy [LV apical rotation:(5.34±1 .80)°vs (3.80±1 .45)°vs (2.96±1 .1 8)°;LV basal rotation:(-3.32±1 .14)°vs (-2.65±1 .12)°vs (-2.56±1 .19)°;both P <0.01].LV GLS and GCS decreased significantly till four cures of treatment compared with those at baseline[GLS:(-21 .62±2.5 1)% vs(-20.1 7±2.74)%;GCS:(-26.34±4.76)% vs (-23.27 ±4.73)%;both P <0.01].The alternation on EDV,ESV,SV and EF manifested no visible degradation during the whole procedure (P > 0.05 for all). Conclusions Cardiotoxicity during the early phase of anthracycline treatment can be detected via 2DSTE prior to the traditional echocardiographic expression of ventricular systolic function.The left ventricular rotation index seems to be more sensitive than strain parameters for the estimation of early cardiac injury in patients with ATC chemotherapy.There is no safe dose for anthracycline in all patients with DLBCL treated with anthracycline even at lower doses.

Objective To investigate the value of echocardiographic Tei index combined with serum high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T(hs-cTnT) on monitoring cardiac toxicity associated with anthracycline chemotherapy drug in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods PW-Tei index,TDI-Tei index of left/right ventricles and radionuclide cardiac measurement were acquired from 56 patients with DLBCL before,after the completion of 2-4 cycle(100-200 mg/m2) and 6-8 cycle(300-400 mg/m2) of the regimen,part of them received serum hs-cTnT detection at the same time.Cardiac toxicity event was defined as a relative reduction of radionuclide left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) of ≥10％ during the regime or an absolute radionuclide LVEF≤50％ after the complete chemotherapy.Results Compared with baseline,left ventricular PW-Tei index significantly increased after whole cures [(0.36-± 0.12) vs (0.44 ±0.13) vs (0.40 ± 0.13),P =0.002].After complete regimen,serum hs-cTnT level elevated significantly [(0.006 ± 0.006)tg/L vs (0.012 ± 0.007) μg/L vs (0.020±0.013)tμg/L,P =0.001].The sensitivity,specificity and area under ROC curve of early diagnosis of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity with elevated serum hs-cTnT in 2-4 cycle and increased left ventricular PW-Tei index in 6-8cycle detected together were 75％,85％,0.736 and 92％,50％,0.675,respectively(all P ＜0.05).Conclusions Echocardiographic PW-Tei index combined with serum hs-cTnT is a simple method and can be easily obtained in outpatient settings to monitor early cardiac toxicity induced by anthracycline therapy.

To study the expression of HCV non-structure 5 antigen in vitro, a human HepG2 cell line was incubated with a HCV RNA positive serum. The S ABC i mmunological techniques and gold-labeled colloid electron microscopy method wer e employed to examine for the viral proteins in those cells. The HCV non-struct ure 5 antigen was first detected in the HepG2 cells at 72 hours post incubation. The antigen was continuously observed in the cytoplasm or on the membrane as we ll on the cell wall of the HepG2 cells even after 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks post incub ation. The observation of HCV non-structure 5 antigen continuously expressed in the HepG2 cells strongly indicates that the cells may have been infected by HCV virus and the virus may have replicated in the cells. Therefore, the HepG2 cell line may be served as a potential host for establishment of HCV infection and p ropagation in vitro.
