Objective To investigate the expressions of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer and their clin-ical significances. Methods The expressions of CD133 and p53 in 74 colorectal cancer patients were detected by the immunohistochemistry method. The relationships of CD133 and p53 with the clinicopathological parameters and prognosis were analyzed. Results The positive expression rates of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer tissues were 33.8%and 55.4%,respectively. The expression levels of CD133 and p53 were not related to age,sex,tumor location and histological type ,and but were significantly related to the histological differentiation ,TNM stage and distant metastasis(P<0.05,respectively). The Spearman correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the levels of CD133 and p53. Conclusions The high expressions of CD133 and p53 in colorectal cancer tissues were closely related to the histological differentiation and TNM stage. CD133 and p53 could be used as important biomarkers for the evaluation of malignant biological behavior,and the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the distribution range and depth of the apocrine sweat glands of the axillary fossa,in order to supply with anatomic and histopathologic basis in the treatment on axillarv osmidrosis.Methods From December 2008 to ()ctober 2010,2 biopsy samples(with axillary osmidrosis),8 biopsy samples(normal,without axillary osmidrosis),were employed into the axillarv anatomy study. 25 patients with severe axillary osmidrosis were observed both maerographicallv and microscopically by using of operation and histopathological methods.Results Secretory portion of apocrine sweat glands was seen clearly,it was pitchy millet-like granules on axillary osmidrosis corpse,and pink millet-like granules in vivo.Secretory portions distributed most within the armpit hair area,exceeded the edge of armpit hair line,but not surpassed the edge of armpit hair line 1.0 cm.The depth of the apocrine sweat glands located vertically at superficial fat tissues between the dermal reticular 1aver and superficial fascia layers which were dissected away easily.Trimming with scissors under dermaIlayer,the secretory portion of apocrine sweat glands was removed cleanly without harms to reticular laver of dermas.Secretory portions became ducts under reticular layer of dermas.White Drominence-like granules were proved to be the compomers of hair follicle and sebaceous glands through Dathological section.Conclusions In order to treat axillary osmidrosis effectively,the secretary portion should be removed away through cutting off the tissues between the dermal reticular layer and suDerficial fastia layers;the ducts of apocrine sweat glands should be handled with removing hair follicle under the reticular layer of dermas．0peration area should not exceed 1.0 cm off the edge.

Objective To detect cardiac function in rabbits models with isehemic reperfusion and to evaluate the short-term protective effects of ischemic postconditioning on regional systolic function of left ventricle by echocardiography. Methods Twenty-eight rabbits were divided into 2 groups:control group and ischemic postconditioning(IP) group. Echocardiography were performed before tests and 2 weeks after tests. The conventional echocardiography indices included left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVDd) ,left ventricular anterior wall end-diastolic thickness (AW) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Quantitative tissue velocity imaging and strain rate imaging indices included the peak velocity in systole(Vs) and radial peak strain rate in systole(SRs). Results Before tests, there were no difference in conventional echocardiography indices between the two groups; compared with before test, the two groups had significantly larger LVDd,thiner AW and lower LVEF(P <0.05) ; compared with the controls, the group IP had significantly smaller LVDd, thicker AW and higher LVEF 2 weeks after tests(P<0.05) ; compared with controls, the number of segments with abnormal wall motion in group IP significantly decreased. Before tests,there were no differences in Vs and radial SRs between the two groups; compared with before test,the two groups had significantly lower Vs and radial SRs(P<0.05) ; compared with the controls,Vs and radial SRs in group IP significantly increased 2 weeks after tests (P<0.05). Conclusions Ischemic postconditioning can protect regional systolic function of rabbits models with ischemic reperfusionin in short-term,which can be effectively evaluated by strain rate imaging.

OBJECTIVETo analyze effects of fracture of processus styloideus ulnae on prognosis in the treatment of distal radial fracture of type C according to AO classification.

METHODSThis was a retrospective case-control study, and the information was got ten through case evaluation and follow-up, including sex, age, patient satisfaction, Gartland & Werley score and radiographic score. There were 76 patient treated with open reduction and plate fixation in People's Hospital Affiliated to Peking University from July 2006 to July 2011. All the patients were divided into two groups: no combination with fracture of processus styloideus ulnae (group A, 56 cases), combination with fracture of processus styloideus ulnae (group B, 20 cases). The patients in group A and B were treated with open reduction and internal fixation; however the fracture of processus styloideus ulnae was not fixed. The indexes such as clinical data, bone grafting, joint movement, Gartland & Werley score and radiographic score were compared between two groups.

RESULTSThe ulnaris pain of patients in group B was more obvious than that in group A. The local VAS, palmar and dorsal flexion degree of wrist joint, motion VAS, patients satisfaction score, radial and ulnar deviation degree, pronation and supination of forearm degree, Gartland & Werley score and radiographic score were separately 0.1 ± 0.1, (51.1 ± 1.9)°, (60.2 ± 1.9)°, 0.6 ± 0.1 (23.1 ± 0.9)°, (28.7 ± 1.3)° (81.5 ± 2.6)°, (68.2 ± 2.7)° 1.9 ± 0.3, 89.6 ± 12.3 in group A; and separately 0.3 ± 0.3, (51.4 ± 2.3)°, (66.6 ± 1.7)°, 0.5 ± 0.2, (24.5 ± 2.0)°, (26.9 ± 1.8)°, (80.3 ± 2.5)°, (70.3 ± 3.7)°, 1.2 ± 0.4, 92.5 ± 7.5 in group B; there were no statistical differences in above indexes between two groups.

CONCLUSIONWhether the distal radial fracture with a concomitant unrepaired ulnar styloid fracture or not exerts no influence on mainly outcomes including function, radiography and motion of the wrist.

OBJECTIVETo study possible mechanisms of Shangjuxu (ST37) and the large intestine.

METHODSTotally 40 SD rats were selected. The distension of end colon was used as injured afferent stimulus. Activities of locus coeruleus (LC) neurons were recorded by extracellular microelectrode technique. Shangjuxu (ST37) and Hegu (L14) were needled to observe general features of discharge reactions, distention of colon induced discharge reactions of LC, and its effects on distention of colon induced discharge reactions of LC.

RESULTSDistention of colon could induce incrased discharge of LC neurons by 127.33% ± 45.48%. But needling at Shangjuxu (ST37) and Hegu (L14) could inhibit this injured response by 38.24% ± 7.69% and 21.29% ± 13.16% respectively (all P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSNeedling at Shangjuxu (ST37) and afferent signals of colon distension converged and interacted with each other. Needling at Shangjuxu (ST37) could significantly inhibit colon distension induced discharge of LC neurons, which might be one of mechanisms for Shangjuxu (ST37) and the large intestine relationship.

Objective To compraison the of exposure in the endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the sellar between microscope and endoscope. Methods Ten formalin-fixed, silicone-injected adult cadveric heads were studied. A direct endonasal transsphenoidal approach was performed via the right nostril, pushing aside the nasal septum, then reach the sphenoidal sinus. The approach was performed with the operating microscope first, then with the endoscope. For each step (sellar, suprasellar, parasellar and clival), the operative region afforded by direct microscopic view was measured and then compared with that obtained by using the edndoscope. Results It was found that the endoscope provided greater view than microscope in this approach. Although the microscope provides an adequate view of the midline structures and part of the contralateral parasellar areas; under direct endoscopic vision, the lateral extension could be widened by an additional 6.5 mm on the ipsilateral and 4 mm on the contralateral side. At suprasellar region, the microscope provides could expose the posterior part of, optic nerve and optic chiasma; but could not expose the areas anterior and superior the interspace superior the optic chiasma. Compare with the microscope, the endoscope allowed extension of bone removal and dual opening for an additional 4 mm anteriorly at the sagittal axis and an additional 3.5 mm on the ipsilateral and 4 mm on the contralateral side. At the clivus region, the medial surface of the vertical segment of the ICA and the basilar artery could be partially 7 exposed by the microscope. By the endoscope, it could gain an additional 4 mm on the ipsilateral side and 2.5 mm on the contralateral side in width. Because of the anatomical boundaries of the sphenoid sinus, the anatomincal exposure by the microscope same as the endocope at the sagittal axis. Conclusion The endoscope allows for a panoramic view and permits widening of the operative exposure in all directions. The endoscope is more suitable in the the minimal and expanded endonasal transsphenoial approach.

Objective The immune magnetic separation(MACS)method of DNT cells was set up and their content Was detected in peripheral blood of healthy man.Methods DNT cells were separated from the peripheral blood.Trypan blue staining and flow cytometry were used to detect their activity and purity,and flow cytometry Was used to detect their content in normal human peripheral blood.Results DNT cell activi ty using MACS sorting was＞97%,the purity Was 82.77%;DNT cells accounted for(6.25±2.61)% (n=45)in the TCRαβ+T cells.Conclusion MACS Can quickly sort out high purity DNT cells,and do not affect the vitality of cells.DNT cells accounted for(6.25±2.61)%in the TCRCD3+T cells.

OBJECTIVETo search all studies that had been published in the world with regarding to the effectiveness of the extent of intralesional curettage and wide excision for recurrence rate and complications and comparative functional outcomes in patients with giant cell tumours (GCT) of the distal radius and analyze them which were in high quality by means of Meta analysis, in order to give some evidences for the choice of method dealing with giant cell tumors GCT in surgery.

METHODSCochrane central register of controlled trials(Issue 8 2014), PubMed(1970-01-01/2013-01-01), Ovid (1970-01-01/2013- 01-01), Elsevier (1970-01-01/2013-01-01), CNKI (1970-01-01/2013-01-01) were searched. Including intralesional curettage and wide excision were performed to treat giant cell tumors (GCTs) of the distal radius in the literatures, selecting on meet eligibility in the standard literatures underwent strict quality assessment. The Meta-analysis was performed with software RevMan5.0 from the Cochrane collaboration. Additionally, the analysis checked the heterogeneity of data. The effectiveness of the extent of intralesional curettage and wide excision for recurrence rate and complication in patients with giant cell tumours of the distal radius were evaluated and Odds Ratio was calculated.

RESULTSSeven relevant articles were identified involving total 163 cases. Among them, 92 cases were intralesional curettage (PMMA, n = 54; bone graft, n = 33; no PMMA or bone grafts, n = 5) and 71 cases were wide excision. The patients in the intralesional curettage group had a higher recurrence rate [OR = 3.87, 95% CI (1.42, 10.53)],especially for Campanacci grade 3 GCTs [OR = 10.12, 95% CI (1.57, 65.27)], yet fewer major complications [OR = 0.13, 95% CI (0.04, 0.40)] than the wide excision group. The use of PMMA versus bone graft did not affect the recur- rence rate [OR = 0.96, 95% CI (0.26, 3.56)]. By selecting the system evaluation of MSTS, the VAS and dynamometer, the result showed that the intralesional curettage group was equivalent or preferable to wide excision in terms of function rehabilitation.

CONCLUSIONBased on data obtained from the limited number of studies available, intralesional curettage appears to be moreappropriate for the treatment of local lesions (Grade 1 and 2) than Grade 3 GCTs of the distal radius. Moreover, PMMA was not additionally effective as an adjuvant, the intralesional curettage group was found to be equivalent or preferable to wide excision in terms of function rehabilitation.

Objective To evaluate 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT in detecting occult malignancy in patients with suspected paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS).Methods Twenty consecutive patients who underwent PET/CT scanning with the indication of suspected PNS were retrospectively reviewed.The gold standard of PNS was either cytology or clinical follow-up, and the final diagnosis was compared with PET/CT findings.Results Of the 20 patients, six were PNS.PET/CT detected nine cases.Six were true positive and three were false positive.The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of PET/CT were 100% (6/6), 78.57% (11/14), 85.00% (17/20),66.7% (6/9) and 100.00% ( 11/11 ) respectively.The treatment plan was modified based on the PET/CT results in 4 patients.Conclusions 18F-FDG PET/CT may play a role in detecting the underlying malignancy of PNS.It is also valuable in staging of the malignancy thus providing information for therapy decision making.

Objective To compare the diagnosis results of endemic skeletal fluorosis from clinical and X-rays examinations, in order to provide the foundation for revising clinical diagnostic standard of endemic skeletal fluorosis. Methods The 675 inhabitants aged 16 to 60 years old were retrospectively chosen as subjects in 15 villages drinking un-improved water, where they lived for 10 years or more. Drinking water fluoride were rated as 0.5,1.0, 1.5,2.0,2.2,2.4,3.0,3.5,4.0,6.0,7.0 mg/L levels in Qianan and Nongan County of Jilin Province. The clinical and X-rays results of endemic skeletal fluorosis were analyzed and compared at different drinking water fluoride levels. Results The clinically detectable rates of endemic skeletal fluorosis(21.43%,22.45% ,21.28%, 19.05%, 38.89%) were higher than that of X-rays(0,2.04%,0,4.76%, 12.96%, X2=7.96,9.49,11.19,4.08,9.45, P<0.05) when fluoride content of drinking water was 2.0,2.2,2.4,3.0,4.0 mg/L. X-rays detective rates were 0 at water fluorides levels of 2.0,2.4 mg/L and still low at water fluoride levels of 3.0,4.0 mg,/L. The difference of detective rates of endemic skeletal fluorosis between the clinical (1.00%,4.44%, 7.23%, 18.00%, 54.39%, 49.18%) and X-rays (0,2.22%, 3.61%, 8.00%, 36.84%, 52.46%) were not statistically significant at water fluorides levels of 0.5,1.0,1.5,3.5,6.0,7.0 mg/L(X2=1.00,0.17,0.47,2.21,3.54,0.13, P>0.05). Conclusions The detectable rates of skeletal fluorosis increase with the increased concentration of water fluoride, which is more reliable for clinical examination than for X-rays method.
