Objective To discuss the diagnosis and management of metastatic adrenal carcinoma. Methods Forty-seven cases with metastatic tumor in the adrenal glands were analyzed retrospectively from December 1996 to April 2010. Lung was the most common primary tumor site (51.1 %, 24 cases), followed by the renal cell carcinoma (12.8%, 6 cases), liver cancer (10.6%,5 cases), breast cancer (8.5%, 4 cases), melanoma (4.2%, 2 cases), and other carcinoma (12.8%,6 cases). Most patients with metastatic adrenal carcinoma had no special clinic manifestation. Lesions of 36 cases were surgically removed and 11 cases gave up operation. Results The mean survival time were 33.8±4.5 months for 31 cases underwent adrenalectomy and 6.3±2.7 months for 6 cases without operation. Patients with surgically removed adrenal metastases had better survival than those without surgical resection. Conclusions Adrenal gland is a common site of metastatic carcinoma.Ultrasonographic and CT scans are important diagnosis methods for metastatic adrenal carcinoma. Operation is still effective and long-term survival may be achieved for those well selected patients, but surgical indication must be strictly monitored.
5. Absorbable suture anchors for treating femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(4):499-504
BACKGROUND: Metal anchors are not easily accepted by patients as permanent foreign bodies, so bioabsorbable anchors have been gradually applied in orthopedics in recent years. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of absorbable suture anchors for repairing femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears. METHODS: Eighty patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears admitted in Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from February 2014 to February 2016 were selected, and all were treated by absorbable suture anchors under arthroscopy. The Harris hip score, and the Visual Analogue Scale score at baseline, postoperative 1 and 3 months were recorded and compared to assess the effectiveness. The complications and material-host reaction were recorded. The treatment satisfaction was evaluated. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Beijing Shijitan Hospital and all patients and their families signed the informed consents. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The Harris hip scores at 1 and 3 years postoperatively in 80 patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears were significantly higher than those at baseline, and the Visual Analogue Scale scores were significantly lower than those at baseline (P < 0. 05). (2) The excellent and good rate of treatment in patients at 1 and 3 years was 90. 0% and 97. 50%, respectively, and the treatment satisfaction was 87. 4% and 93. 8%, respectively. The excellent and good rate of treatment and treatment satisfaction presented an increased trend with time, but had no significant difference (P > 0. 05). (3) None appeared with anchor drop off, cartilage injury or material-host reaction. In summary, the method of absorbable suture anchors under arthroscopy has the advantages of minimal invasion, reliable fixation, simple operation, no metal implants, and significant clinical effect to treat femoroacetabular impingement syndrome combined with acetabular labral tears.

7.Effect of fuzheng jianpi recipe on content of trace element and immune function in children with spleen deficiency anorexia.
Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine 2002;22(6):429-431
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and prospect of Fuzheng Jianpi Recipe (FZJPR) in treating children's Spleen deficiency anorexia (CSDA) by means of observing its effect on trace element content and immune function.
METHODSOne hundred and thirty cases of CSDA were treated with FZJPR, one dose per day in decoction, orally taken, 30 days for one therapeutic course. Levels of T-lymphocyte subsets, IL-2R, immunoglobulin and trace elements were determined before and after treatment, and compared with those in the control group consisted of 60 healthy children.
RESULTSIn the treated group, abnormal figures were shown in T-lymphocyte subsets, especially in lowering of CD3 and CD4 count before treatment, and IgG content was reduced also. After treatment, CD3, CD4, CD4/CD8 ratio as well as IgG and IgA were improved significantly (P < 0.01), IL-2R percentage approached normal. Moreover, the levels of Zn and Fe changed significantly (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONFZJPR could improve the trace elements content and immune function in CSDA children, so it is effective in treating CSDA.

Objective To explore the activition and polarization of microglia in the epileptic rats induced by lithium chloride-pilocarpine. Methods One hundred male SD rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group and different time points model groups including 1d,3d,7d and 14d. Epilepsy models were established by lithium chloride-pilocarpine intraperitoneal injection. The control group was given the same dosage of normal saline. The morphology change was detected by immunofluorescence,and the expressions of iNOS and Arg-1 were determined by IHC at respective time points. Results Compared the model groups with control group,microglia was activated,synapsis was shorten,volume got bigger,most of them seemed as amoebocyte,the expression of iNOS increased and Arg-1 decreased,especially at 3d.ConclusionThe results from this study indicated that microglia was activated and polarized in epileptic rats induced by pilocarpine.

Background Inherited retinal degeneration,one of the major causes of blindness worldwide,comprises a large number of disorders characterized by a slow and progressive retinal degeneration.Interleukin-1 (IL-1)was recognized to be involved in inherited retinal degeneration.Whether IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) can arrest retinal degeneration is worthy of investigation.Objective This study was to investigate the effects of IL-1ra on photoreceptor apoptosis in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats.Methods The use of the animals complied with the Regulations for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.The SPF RCS rats aged 9,15,16,25,30,35,40,50 and 60 postnatal days were collected,with 9 rats for each age group.Retinal sections were used for the TdT-mediated biotin-dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) cell apoptosis assay.1 μl of IL-1ra (1.8 g/L) was intravitreally injected in the right eyes of 9 RCS rats aged 15 postnatal days and PBS was used in the same way in the fellow eyes.The injection procedure was repeated on the 20 th and 25 th day,respectively.The rats were sacrificed on the 30 th day and retinal sections were prepared for the TUNEL assay.The differences in the percentage of the positive cellular nuclei area among different ages of rats were compared by one-way ANOVA,and the differences in retinal layer thickness between IL-1ra injection group and PBS injection group were assessed by paired t test.Results Photoreceptor apoptosis appeared in 20-day-old RCS rats and progressed and peaked in 30 and 35-day-old rats and then reduced,showing a significant difference among rat of various age groups (F=28.020,P<0.01).Images from TUNEL assay showed a weaker and less TUNEL staining in the IL-1ra injected eyes than the PBS injected eyes in 30-day-old rats.The total area and relative area of TUNEL positive nuclei were (223.052±153.092) μm2 and (2.206±1.531) % in the IL-1ra injected group,and those in PBS injected group were (1235.050±359.767) μm2 and (7.269± 1.624) %,with a significant difference between them (t =4.370,t=3.250,P<0.01).The cone and rod thickness was (15.324±9.035) μm in the IL-1ra injected group and (49.566±4.605)μm in the PBS injected group,showing a significant difference (t =22.674,P<0.01).However,no significant difference was seen in the outer nuclear layer thickness between the two groups (t =0.268,P>0.05).Conclusions IL-1 participates in the pathogenesis and development of inherited retinal degeneration of RCS rats.The use of IL-1ra might be a potential approach in the treatment of inherited retinal degeneration.
