Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of migrating and homing to brain tumors in vivo and therefore is a promising targeted-delivery vehicle in cancer gene therapy. MSCs are transfected or transducted with the therapeutic genes and achieve stable expression in vitro, then are delivered to the host to exert their therapeutic effects. The Ex Vivo gene transfer of MSCs has been studied in several types of tumors including gliomas, and results were postive. The safety of MSC-based gene delivery remains to be controversial. The interactions between MSCs and host tumor cells need to be investigated.

Objective To study the perioperative predictors of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after splenectomy in cirrhotic patients.Methods We searched the Web of Science,PubMed,EMBASE,Science Direct,CNKI,VIP,CSCD,and Wan Fang Databases up to April 2014.Only case-controlled studies which evaluated predictive factors of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after splenectomy in cirrhotic patients were included.The Stata 12 software was used to perform the meta-analysis.Results Twenty-four casecontrolled studies were included.The sample size was 4 335,and the incidence rate of PVT was 25.0%.The risk factors of PVT included splenic volume (WMD =13.75,95% CI:6.47 ~21.00),splenic vein diameter (WMD =1.34,95% CI:0.39 ~ 2.30),portal vein diameter (WMD =1.54,95 % CI:0.56 ~ 2.52 ;WMD=2.09,95%CI:0.55 ~3.64),portal venous flow (WMD =-5.78,95% CI:-10.46 ~-1.10;WMD =-5.57,95 % CI:-5.92 ~-5.22),difference in portal venous pressure (WMD =1.90,95 % CI:1.29~2.50) and ascites (OR =1.83,95% CI:1.19,2.82).There were no significant differences between patients with and without PVT in terms of sex,age,Child-Pugh classification,prothrombin time,PLT,D-dimer,operating time.Conclusion The risk factors of portal vein thrombosis after splenectomy in cirrhotic patients were splenic volume,splenic vein diameter,portal vein diameter,portal venous flow,difference in portal venous pressure and ascites.

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprint for the quality control of Yanhuanglian Injections.Methods HPLC Chromatography method was used.The conditions included a Shim-pack CLC-ODS column(250 mm?6.0 mm,5 ?m),the gredient elution was adopted with acetonitrile-buffer solution(1∶1),the detection wavelength was at 285 nm,and the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min.The Operating Standard of Similarty Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Chinese Materia Medica(Version 2004A)was used to calculate.Results Similarity of 13 batches of injections was over 0.95,the fingerprint of Yanhuanglian Injections was established,and 12 common peaks were indicated.Conclusion This method can be applied to the quality control of Yanhuanglian Injections.

Objective To compare the clinic effect of the locking compression plate (LCP) fixation and the anatomical plate in treatment of high-energy distal tibial fractures. Methods The study involved 42 patients with high-energy distal tibial fractures treated between May 2003 and May 2009. The anatomical plate group included 24 patients ( 16 males and 8 females, at average age of 39 years), of whom there were 13 patients with type A fractures, five with type B and six with type C according to the AO/ASIF classification. The LCP group included 18 patients ( 15 males and 3 females, at average age of 40 years), of whom there were 11 patients with type A fractures, three with type B and four with type C according to the AO/ASIF classification. All the patients were followed up for 8-17 months. Their functional and radiographic outcomes were collected. The operation time, intra-operative blood loss, X-ray exposure, bone healing time, post-operative complications and therapeutic effects were compared between both groups. Mazur's criteria was used to evaluate the function of the ankle. Results The LCP group was followed up for average 11.6 months and the anatomical plate group for average 14.2 months, which showed fracture healing in all the patients. The bone graft in the anatomical plate group was used more frequently than the LCP group, while the X-ray exposure in the LCP group was much more than that in the anatomical plate group. The operation time, incision size, blood loss, postoperative complications and radiographic bone healing time in the LCP group were significantly less than those in the anatomical plate group. Conclusions Both the LCP and anatomical plate are effective methods for the high energy distal tibial fractures. LCP has advantages of less trauma, quick fracture healing and less complications, is consistent with the biomechanics of internal fixation and hence is an ideal method for the treatment of the high-energy tibial fractures.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of metastatic lymph node ratio (MLNR) combined with preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in the detection of distant metastasis of stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ colon cancer after radical resection.Methods A retrospective study was performed on the clinical data of 325 patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ colon cancer undergoing radical resection in the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University from Jan 2010 to Jan 2015.Results MLNR was correlated with the maximum diameter of tumors,the degree of differentiation of tumors,clinical TNM stage and distant metastasis (P < 0.05),serum CEA was correlated with the maximum diameter of tumors,clinical TNM stage,nerve or vascular invasion and distant metastasis (P < 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that low differentiation of tumor tissue,TNM Ⅲ stage,high MLNR and high serum CEA were independent risk factors for distant metastasis of colon cancer after radical operation.Conclusions The combined detection of MLNR and serum CEA has a good predictive value for distant metastasis with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ colon cancer.
