Objective To summarize the keypoints of clinical diagnosis of chondroblastoma and the experience on the treatment Methods The clinical materials of 16 cases(11 males,aged from 12 to 26 years)from June 1992 to February 2003 of pathologically diagnosed chondroblastoma were analyzed retrospectively. The tumor located at distal femur in 6 cases,great trochanter in 1 case,proximal tibia in 6 cases,proximal humerus in 2 cases, talus in 1 case. The main symptoms were swelling and painful joint. All the 16 cases were treated with curettage and autologous bone graft from iliac crest. Results Twelve cases were followed up for 6 months to 5 years .averaging 3. S years. All the bone graft healed well. One case., recurred 2 years after the initial curettage and was treated with curettage again. No recurrence occurred at the last follow-up 6 months after the second curettage. The function of the involved joints was nearly normal in all cases except for one case with slight limitation of knee flexion. Conclusions Mastering the image and clinical characteristics of chondroblastoma can avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment Curettage can control the tumor satisfactorily. Postoperative rehabilitation can improve the function of the involved limb.

Objective To study the accuracy and practical value in the clinical diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome by B ultrasonography and postcaval vein contrast examination.Methods 42 patients received B ultrasonographic scanning of the postcaval vein and the liver before the use of angiography.Angiography included Seldinger single-direction postcaval intubation(14 cases) and double-direction intubation(28 cases),and quick photographic observation.Results B ultrasonography showed that 18 cases had postcaval segmental or membranous obstruction 24 cases had postcaval stricture at its opening,and 20 cases complicated with single right hepatic stricture,8 cases with left vein stricture and 12 cases with central hepatic caval stricture.Communicating branched vessels were formed among 16 cases between hepatic vessels were formed among 8 cases between hepatic left-middle,and middle-right hepatic veins each.Reticular communicating vessels were formed in 8 cases between left middle and right.5 cases had slight postcaval stricture and their blood flowed non-obstructedly postcaval veinography showed 12 cases had postcaval stricture at proximal end,28 cases total segmental or membranous obstruction.There were 8 cases respectively for hepatic central vein and right hepatic vein development each.The remaining 26 cases had no hepatic venous development.There were 30 cases who had obvious branched circulaltion formation,and even their branched circular vessels had tumous-like expansion.Conclusion B ultrasonography,as a way of easy,and no-trauma examination,is the first-choice means to screen the patients.Postcaval angiography is a means to diagnose Budd-Chiari syndrome,which is neccessary for the cases with total segmental or membranous obstruction to have double-direction postcaval angiography,especially for the cases to have interventive therapy.

Methods During the intervention phase from June 2012 to June 2013 of 28 patients in ICU treated by non-invasive ventilation, sedatives were adjusted according to Ramsay Scale, and the parameters of the life signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation,etc) were measured by nurses. Results 89.3%(25/28) patients obtained the improvement of the disease despite of the complications such as over-sedation and instable hemodynamics. Conclusion The key points can increase tolerance of non-invasive ventilation and improve clinical outcomes, develop comprehensive nursing strategies on safety and effectiveness of sedation and non-invasive ventilation .

Objective:Selected virulence factors more than and high virulent Aeromonas hydrophia strain made into inactivated vaccine,to study the immunization effect of inactivated vaccine.Methods:Crucian were vaccinated with formalin-killed vaccine via in-traperitoneal injection.Controls were injected with the same volumes of saline.Then the antibody titres, histopathology and relative percent survival were analyzed from samples of both groups.Results: The antibody in the indirect agglutination reaction could be detected in vaccinated fish once a weeks after immunization and reached highest level 6 weeks after immunization.The histopathology analysis indicated that the vaccine had a good protective effect on crucian target organs.Vaccinated fish showed 100%relative percent survival and the immune period would be 6 month.Conclusion:The vaccine in this study has a significant protective effect on crucian and may be used as effective fish vaccines against bacterial septicemia.

Objective To explore the feasibility and efficiency of the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases after transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF)and posterolateral fusion(PLF)procedures in which unilateral pedicle screw fixation was used.Methods From December 2006 to August 2008,78 cases with the lumbar degenerative diseases who received lumbar posterolateral fusion were analyzed.There were 48 cases of which underwent TLIF and PLF procedures with unilateral pedicle screw fixation(unilateral group),including 25 males and 23 females with an average of 47.6 years;and 30 cases of which underwent TLIF and PLF procedures with bilateral pedicle screw fixation(bilateral group),including 21 males and 9 females with an average of 50.5 years.The clinical effects between the two groups were evaluated with Oswestry disability index and visual analogue score(VAS)index.The operation time,blood loss,fusion rates and intervertebral collapse rates were also compared.Results Oswestry disability index,low back pain VAS index and skelalgia VAS index in both groups showed statistical significance between preoperation and 3 months,or 3 months and 1 year postoperatively.There was no difference in score improvement between the two groups.There were difference in operation time,blood loss and cost of hospitalization between unilateral and bilateral group.The former was lower.There was no difference in postoperative length of stay between the two groups.The fusion rate of unilateral group and bilateral group were 91.7%(44/48)and 93.3%(28/30),respectively.Conclusion Auto graft combined with unilateral pedicle screw fixation provids better spinal instant stability.TLIF and PLF with unilateral pedicle screw fixation was a satisfactory method in treating degenerative disease of lumbar vertebrae.

Objective Using of cumulative live birth rate(CLBR)per oocytes retrieved cycle,to assess the clinical outcomes of in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection(IVF/ICSI),and to explore impact factors on CLBR following utilization of all fresh and frozen embryos in one complete IVF/ICSI cycle using gonadotropin-releasing hormone(GnRH)agonist, GnRH-antagonist and clomiphene mild stimulation protocols. Methods Of the patients who underwent IVF/ICSI from January 1st, 2014 to December 31st, 2015 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Nanjing Medical University, a total of 6 142 oocytes retrieved cycles were included. The clinical and laboratory parameters of different ovarian stimulation protocols, and the effects of the age, number of oocytes retrieved and number of embryos available on the CLBR of each oocytes retrieved cycle were analyzed.Results The CLBR was 69.0%(2 004/2 906)in the GnRH-agonist protocol versus 67.4%(644/955)in the GnRH-antagonist protocol (P>0.05); the CLBR of clomiphene mild stimulation protocol was 53.2%(1 215/2 281),significantly lower than those of the other two protocols (all P<0.05). The CLBR significantly decreased with age increased. When divided into four groups according to the patients′ age, we found that CLBR were not statistically significant using three different protocols in the 20-25 years old group(all P>0.05).There was a strong association between the number of oocytes retrieved and embryos available on CLBR. CLBR rose significantly with an increasing number of oocytes up to 6, then the rising trend slowed down. Patients were categorized into four groups according to the number of oocytes retrieved,CLBR was significantly higher using GnRH-antagonist protocol (50.0%)than mild stimulation protocol(37.0%)in low ovarian responder(0-4 oocytes)group(P<0.05). The CLBR were no significant difference among three protocols in normal(10-15 oocytes)and high responders(≥15 oocytes)group(all P>0.05).The incidence rate of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in GnRH-agonist protocols(5.2%,152/2 906)were significantly higher than those of GnRH-antagonist(4.4%, 42/955)and clomiphene mild stimulation protocols(1.5%,34/2 281;all P<0.05).Conclusions CLBR is an important index to assess the clinical outcomes of IVF/ICSI. Age, number of oocytes retrieved and embryos available could affect CLBR obviously. According to the different age and ovarian response of patients, we should design ovarian stimulation protocols based on target oocytes number in order to get higher CLBR and reduce complications.

Peptides that are composed of dextrorotary (d)-amino acids have gained increasing attention as a potential therapeutic class. However, our understanding of the in vivo fate of d-peptides is limited. This highlights the need for whole-body, quantitative tracking of d-peptides to better understand how they interact with the living body. Here, we used mouse models to track the movement of a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-targeting d-dodecapeptide antagonist (DPA) using positron emission tomography (PET). More specifically, we profiled the metabolic routes of [⁶⁴Cu]DPA and investigated the tumor engagement of [⁶⁴Cu/⁶⁸Ga]DPA in mouse models. Our results revealed that intact [⁶⁴Cu/⁶⁸Ga]DPA was primarily eliminated by the kidneys and had a notable accumulation in tumors. Moreover, a single dose of [⁶⁴Cu]DPA effectively delayed tumor growth and improved the survival of mice. Collectively, these results not only deepen our knowledge of the in vivo fate of d-peptides, but also underscore the utility of d-peptides as radiopharmaceuticals.
