1.The role of radioisotopes for the palliation of bone pain from bone metastases
Chinese Journal of Interventional Imaging and Therapy 2006;3(3):224-230
Bone metastasis occurs as a result of a complex pathophysiologic process between host and tumor cells leading to cellular invasion, migration adhesion, and stimulation of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activity. Several sequences occur as a result of osseous metastases and resulting bone pain can lead to significant debilitation. Pain associated with osseous metastasis is thought to be distinct from neuropathic or inflammatory pain. Several mechanisms, such as invasion of tumor cells, spinal cord astrogliosis,and sensitization of nervous system, have been postulated to cause pain. Pharmaceutical therapy of bone pain includes nonsteroidal analgesics and opiates. These drags are associated with side effects, and tolerance to these agents necessitates treatment with other modalities. Bisphosphonates act by inhibiting osteoclast-mediated resorption and have been increasingly used in treatment of painful bone metastasis. While external beam radiation therapy remains the mainstay of pain palliation of solitary lesions, bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals have entered the therapeutic armamentarium for the treatment of multiple painful osseous lesions. 32p has been used for over 3 decades in the treatment of multiple osseous metastases. The myelosuppression caused by this agent has led to the development of other bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals, including 89SrCl, and 153Sm-ethylenediaminetetramethylene phosphonic acid (153Sm-EDTMP). 89Sr is a bone-seeking radionuclide, whereas 153Sm-EDTMP is a bone-seeking tetraphosphonate; both have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of painful osseous metastases. While both agents have been shown to have efficacy in the treatment of painful osseous metastases from prostate cancer, they may also have utility in the treatment of painful osseous metastases from breast cancer and perhaps from non-small cell lung cancer. This article illustrates the salient features of these radiopharmaceuticals, including the approved dose, method of administration, and indications for use.

The arteries of the female internal genitalia were studied with transparent, X-ray photogaphyand corrosion method in 40 specimens from fetuses and babies. The uterine artery divides into ascending and descending branches along the lateral border ofthe uterus. The descending branches supply the cervix of the uterus and anastomose with thevaginal artery. The ascending branches ascends along the lateral border of the uterus to the originof the proper ligament of the ovary where it sendes out the fundus, uterine tube and ovarianbranches. In most cases, there is no convolution and without further branching in the remainingtrunk of the ascending branch. The ovarian artery is spiral in the suspensory ligament of the ovary. It is in this region or inthe mesovarium, the ovarian artery divides into 2--3 branches, that is to anastomose with theuterine artery and its ovarian and fimbrian branches of the uterine tube. The most common typeof anastomoses found in the hilum in the ovary and origin of the proper ligament is that theovarian branch of the uterine artery communicates with the ovarian artery. The uterine artery divides into 20-40 straight or convoluted branches in the uterine wall.Branches from the two sides anastomose near the midline of the uterus. The degree of convolutionand the number of branches and anastomoses in the uterine wall increase with age. Both ovarian and uterine artery supply blood to the ovary. There are about 20--30 branchesin the hilum of the ovary. They attain various spiral forms. The most common type of bloodsupply in the uterine tube is that the uterine tube and isthmus branches of the uterine artery anas-tomose with the fimbria branch of the ovarian artery and then send out 20--30 branches to encirclethe uterine tube.

The lymphatic drainage of the ileocecal region was studied on 40 fetus and infant cadavers through the method of lymphatic injection. The lymphatics of the terminal part of the ileum in most cases ascend to the ileo- colic nodes.Part of these lymphatics lead to the nodes around the cecal or the ileal branches of the ileocolic artery.There is a single case,in which part of these lymphatics end directly in the superior mesenteric nodes. The lymphatics of the appendix mostly run parallel to the appendicular artery and lead to the ileocolic nodes.In some cases 1—2 lymphatics end in the appendicular nodes, and the nodes along the cecal or the ileal branches of the ileocolic artery. The lymphatics of the cecum mostly open into the anterior cecal nodes.Part of these lymphatics end in the ileocolic nodes.It is only in a few cases that 1—2 lymphatics of the cecum run to the posterior cecal nodes or the nodes situated at the cecal branches of the ileocolic artery.

Although the Shanghai's basic health insurance always takes the leading position nationwide in the aspects of coverage, funding level, security level, etc, it still cannot avoid the contradictory problems brought by the rapidly rising demand for health care, poor results of funds management, etc. Commercial health insurance has its u-nique advantages in terms of funds and personnel management. Therefore, they can play their complementary role to the basic medical insurance in order to improve the basic health insurance system. Based on the perspective of com-mercial health insurances, this paper explores the basic health insurance system in Shanghai from the aspects of man-agement patterns, governing body, insurance objects, funding modalities and insurance programs.
