Diffuse lower-grade glioma is a diversified group of infiltrative brain tumors comprising WHO grades II and III astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and mixed oligoastrocytomas. These tumors exhibit a wide range of clinical heterogeneity;thus, histopathological classification does not adequately predict clinical outcomes. In recent years, a number of molecular markers closely related to the clini-cal features and prognosis of gliomas have been discovered. These molecular markers include isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) muta-tion, chromosome 1p/19q codeletion, ATRX mutation, TERT promoter mutation, and MGMT promoter methylation. Furthermore, nu-merous studies focusing on the integrated molecular classification of diffuse lower-grade gliomas combined with these molecular markers have been conducted. Results indicate that integrated molecular pathological classification can improve the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy and facilitate therapeutic formulation. This paper reviews the research progress on integrated molecular classifica-tion of diffuse lower-grade gliomas.

Objective To establish a method for determination of lead in cosmetics. Methods Samples were digested. The lead content was detected by isochronous mercury-plating method with the condition of lead cation being enriched for 40 s at -1.20V(vs. SCE).

BACKGROUND:The age, complication, injury to operation time, and pain level are important factors that affect patients with postoperative mortality, but many scholars disagree. Factors affecting death in elderly patients after femoral head replacement stil need further study. OBJECTIVE:To observe factors related to the survival status of elderly patients within 1 year after receiving femoral head replacement. METHODS:A total of 96 elderly patients receiving femoral head replacement at Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from January 2011 to January 2014 were selected. On admission, patients’ age, sex, time from injury to operation, injury to admission time, pain classification, admission hemoglobin, serum albumin content of admission, admission lymphocyte count, and the amount of blood transfusion and preoperative complications were recorded. Fisher test was used to analyze the factors affecting survival status within 1 year after replacement in patients with femoral head replacement using one-way analysis of variance. Multivariate Cox test was utilized to perform multi-factor analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The injury to hospital time was > 5 days. Pain classification was grades III and IV. The hemoglobin content was < 120 g/L on admission. The volume of blood transfusion was > 1 000 mL. Serum albumin content was < 35 g/L, which was associated with the increased mortality (P < 0.05). The mortality was significantly higher in patients with more than 86 years old than in patients with 70-85 years old (P < 0.05). The mortality of patients with the time from injury to operation > 7 days was significantly higher than patients with the time from injury to operation < 7 days (P < 0.05). The serum albumin content < 35 g/L and grades III and IV of ASA classification were factors related to patient’s death (P < 0.05). Results confirm that the risk factors for survival status within 1 year of femoral head replacement contain intraoperative volume of blood transfusion, admission to operation time, hemoglobin content, and grading of pain.

Objective To establish a new method to analyze the position accuracy of multileaf collimator (MLC) in the dynamic mode.Methods The MLC test sequence was created in a field,where intentional leaf positional errors ranging from 0.1 to 1 mm per centimeter were introduced.In order to establish the relationship between the ion chamber readings and leaf position,whose slope indicated the leaf position error per centimeter,a two-dimensional ion chamber array was used to measure absorbed dose while leaves were moving at dose rates of 100,300 and 600 MU/min,respectively.For routine test,leaf position error was easily found via dose profile in y direction of the field created by dynamic leaves,where the position error could be quantitatively calculated as the slope of absorbed dose line of x direction of the same field.Results The error of 0.2 mm or more per centimeter was obviously shown through y dose profile.The calibration curve was linear at different dose rates.At 600 MU/min,a 0.1 mm leaf position error corresponded to a slope variation of 0.74％,and the differences between the tested errors and the introduced errors were within 0.1 mm.Conclusions The simple and reliable method is helpful to establish the intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) quality control (QC) system.

BACKGROUND:At present, there stil remain controversies concerning the choice of tibial slope in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and the related biomechanical studies are rare. OBJECTIVE:To find the rational tibial slope in mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty through the results of finite element analysis. METHODS:A finite element model of normal knee was established and validated using the techniques of three-dimensional reconstruction and finite element pre-processing. Then the finite element models of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with different tibial slopes were established based on the normal knee model. The finite element analyses were conducted after the boundary conditions and loads were unified. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The finite element models of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty with different tibial slopes were established successfuly. The results of the finite element analyses indicated that the posteromedial tibial cortical and cancelous bone stress increased gradualy as the posterior slope increasing, as wel as the load distribution and the cartilage contact pressures of lateral compartment. The anteromedial tibial cortical stress increased significantly with the anterior slope. A posterior tibial slope of 0°-7° can be recommended when implanting a mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty.
