Objective A retrospective study of GCTTS in the hand was undertaken to determine whether specific clinic or pathologic factors were associated with an increased risk of recurrence, and to investigate the relationship between the recurrence of GCTTS and its biological indices. Methods 83 patients with histologically proven GCTTS were treated and followed up. The clinical materials were reviewed. Comparison was made between certain factors to determine which were associated with increased recurrence rates. Results The patients were followed for an average of 55 months. 22 patients (26.5%) recurred. Age, gender, site, the origin of tumors, size, bone erosion or destruction, cellularity and the mitoses were not risk factors for recurrence. Tumors without capsule had higher recurrence rate than that with capsule, and the difference was highly significant. The local recurrence rate of Nm23 positive group was 28.3%, and Nm23 negative group was 19.2%, there was no remarkable difference between the groups. The PCNA-LI was 0.448?0.130 in recurrent group and 0.358?0.147 in nonrecurrent group, the difference was statistically significant. The aneuploidy DNA content was presented in 50% of the recurrent tumors, and in 23.2% of nonrecurrent ones. The SPF was 6.98?4.64 in recurrent group and 4.70?2.49 in nonrecurrent group. These values were also significantly different. PCNA-LI, the aneuploidy DNA content and SPF were significantly higher in group without capsule than those in group with capsule. These values were not different between tumors with and without bone destruction, large and small diameter, high and low cellular tumors, as well as high and low mitoses tumors. Conclusion The high proliferative indices of recurrent GCTTS may explain its aggressive biologic behavior. Tumors without capsule possess higher proliferative indices than the ones with capsule, and they have higher recurrent rate. The proliferative indices of the tumors with and without bone distruction are comparable, and the difference of the recurrence rate among groups is not significant.

Objective To explore changes of levels of interferon‐γ(IFN‐γ) ,interleukin‐32(IL‐32) and interleukin‐6(IL‐6) in pe‐ripheral blood and the correlation between peripheral IFN‐γ,IL‐32 ,IL‐6 and liver function level and hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA load in HBV carriers .Methods Sixty HBV carriers ,including 39 cases of chronic HBV carriers and 21 cases of inactive hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) carriers ,and 50 healthy individuals were collected .Serum levels of IFN‐γ,IL‐32 and IL‐6 ,the amount of HBV DNA and liver function were detected ,and clinical correlations were analysed .Results Compared with the control group ,ser‐um levels of IFN‐γ,IL‐32 and IL‐6 of chronic HBV carriers and inactive HBsAg carriers were significantly increased (P<0 .05) . Compared with chronic HBV carriers with low amount of HBV DNA loads and high amount of HBV DNA loads ,chronic HBV car‐riers with medial HBV DNA loads had higher serum levels of IFN‐γ,IL‐32 and IL‐6 ,but no statistically significant differences were observed(P>0 .05) .There was positive correlation between IL‐32 level and ALT level (r=0 .32 ,P<0 .05) ,and negative correla‐tion between IL‐32 level and ALB level(r= -0 .27 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion IFN‐γ,IL‐32 and IL‐6 may play important roles in chro‐nic HBV infection ,the levels of IFN‐γ,IL‐32 and IL‐6 could be used as important indicators to assess the severity of inflammation in HBV carriers .

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical correlation of IL-4 in patients with HBV infection.Methods Sixty cases with chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers,60 cases with chronic hepatitis B,60 cases with liver cirrhosis,60 cases with hepato-cellular carcinoma and 50 healthy controls were collected for serum.ELISA was used for detection of cytokine IL-4 levels;The a-mount of HBV DNA was measured by fluorescence quantitative PCR;Liver function was tested by automatic biochemical analyzer. Results Compared with the healthy controls[(1.64±0.17)ng/mL],IL-4 levels of patients with CHB,LC and HCC were signifi-cantly increased[(4.18±0.48),(4.71±0.42),(3.62±0.31)ng/mL,P <0.05].LC group have the highest IL-4 levels,while ASC was the lowest.Compared with the ASC group,IL-4 levels of patients with CHB,LC and HCC were significantly increased(P <0.05).Compared with the HCC group,IL-4 levels of patients with LC were significantly increased(P <0.05).IL-4 level was posi-tively correlated with TBIL levels in LC patients(r=0.529,P <0.01),while the IL-4 level was positively correlated with ALT and TBIL level in HCC patients(r=0.263,0.323,P <0.05).Conclusion IL-4 may play an important role in chronic HBV infection, the levels of IL-4 can be used as an important indicator to assess the severity of chronic hepatitis B.

Objective To study the effect of Xuebijing injection on the change of intestinal tract mucosa barriers and the expression of macrophage antihody in rats with sepsis. Method Totally 150 Wistar rats were ran-domly divided into three groups: sham group, sepsis group, and Xuebijing group. Sepsis models were estabhshed in rats by cecal ligation and puncture. The success standards of sepsis included fever, the increase of respiration rate,increased heart rate and change in leukocyte count. At 12 hours before operation, and after operation the rats in the Xuebijing group were injected with 4 mL/kg Xuebijing (once every 12 hours for 3 days), and the rats in the others two groups were injected with the same volume of saline, the image analytical system were used to detect the pathological change of intestinal tract mucosa harriers and the expression of macrophage antibody in three groups. All the data were analyzed by rank-sum test and variance analysis(F test). Results Almost all the mucous mem-brahe of small intestine in sham groups were normal. The mucous membrane lesions of small intestine developed in sepsis and Xuebijing groups after 12,24,48,72 hours, and the lesion was severer in sepsis group than that in the Xuebijing group (H=19.732, P<0.01). There were no significant differences on the expression of macrophage antibody in mucous membrane of small intestine between three groups at 3 hours. But at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours, the expression of macmphage antibody of sepsis and Xnebijing groups increased with time (F=560.13, P< 0.05). Conclusions At the early period of sepsis, intestinal tract mucosa barriers develops varying degrees of damage, and Xnebijing can partly protect intestinal tract mucosa barriers.

Objective To investigate the treatment values of precise target delineation of chest MRI for lung cancer Methods From August 2011 to February 2015 , 45 non-small cell lung cancer patients were given chest CT scans and MRI scans before radiotherapy , and then active target tumor delineation , then related influencing factors were analyzed. Results All patients completed CT scans and MRI positioning. For patients that it was difficult to identify lung tissue lesions caused by lung cancer through CT , their MRI imaging showed high signal and the boundaries between the tumor and surrounding normal tissue became relatively clear. Meanwhile , 20 patients of borders were diagnosed by CT , while 25 by MRI; 36 patients with lymph node metastasis were diagnosed by CT while 40 by MRI. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that pathological type and atelectasis were the influence factors for CT and MRI tumor target delineation differences (P<0.05), and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed the atelectasis was the main factor (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with CT, breast MRI can precisely delineate target to improve the accuracy of target localization before radiotherapy. It can help determine lymph node metastasis and avoid the impact of atelectasis then ensure the accuracy of radiotherapy.
