Conformal radiotherapy is an important therapeutic strategy for primary hepatic carcinoma,which has high local control rate.However,the frequency of intra- and extra-hepatic recurrences is very high.Sorafenib is the only drug that has been demonstrated effectiveness to increase overall survival in advanced or metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.The combination about radiotherapy and sorafenib can increase the radiosensitiveness,and inhibit the angiogenesis,and relieve the hypoxia,as well as synchronize the cell cycle.A lot of biological studies of sorafenib combined with radiotherapy have been camied out,and the phase Ⅰ -Ⅱ clinical trials are is in progress.

Objective To report arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with iliotibial tract autograft and gracilis tendon by Moriya s method and to evaluate its clinical results. Methods The iliotibial tract autograft of about one third length was dissected with the tibial attachment kept. Then the trimmed gracilis tendon was wrapped in the iliotibial tract to reconstruct ACL. 16 patients (12 males and 4 females) were treated in this way. The anterior drawer test and the Lachman s test were all positive before operation, indicating that anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of ACL were totally broken, which was proved by arthroscopy. Results All patients were followed up for 4 to 17 months (mean 9 months). According to the criteria for knee ligament function evaluation set up by Japanese Association of Orthopaedics( JOA) , 10 patients scored ≥ 90 points, 5 patients 80 to 90 points, and 1 patient ≤ 80 points.The excellent and good rate was 93.75% . Conclusion Iliotibial tract autograft transfer with gracilis tendon to reconstruct ACL under arthroscopy boasts convenience in harvesting grafts, simplicity in performance and excellent results, without evidence of damaging extension and flexion tendons of the knee or causing patellofemoral pain.

Objectives: To research the effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) with total parenteral nutrition(TPN) on the old patients following abdominal surgery. Methods: 26 old patients receiving TPN after major abdominal surgery were selected and distributed to study group(rhGH+TPN, n =13) and control group(TPN only, n =13).For 7 days after operation, rhGH (8 U/d) or normal saline(in control group) were used. The patients' weight, serum albumin, right hand grip, sleep time and the time of incision cicatrized were determined. Results: The increase of weight, level of plasma albumin, grip power of right hand and sleep time were improved more in study group than those in control group. The incision cicatrized time was also shortened in study group. Conclusions: Growth hormone can promote protein synthesis, accelerate incision healing and reduce the postoperative fatigue syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane on the expression of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) in the myocardium of rats with high-level spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods Thirty healthy male Wistar rats, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups using a random number table: sham operation group (group S, n = 6) , SCI group (n =12) and sevoflurane group (group Sev).SCI was induced in anesthetized rats by dropping a l0-g weight onto C7 spinal cord from 5.0 cm height falling freely inside a vertical hollow glass tube.Group SCI inhaled 2 L/min pure oxygen for 30 min, and group Sev inhaled 2% sevoflurane for 30 min starting from 30 min after SCI.At 12 and 24 h after SCI (T1,2) , 6 rats were selected randomly, and blood samples from the abdominal aorta were drawn for determination of serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations.The rats were then sacrificed, and myocardial specimens were obtained for determination of CaSR protein and mRNA expression (using fluorescent quantitative real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction or Western blot) and for examination of myocardial ultrastructure (with transmission electron microscope).Results Compared with group S, the serum cTnI concentrations and CaSR protein and mRNA expression were significantly increased at T1,2 in SCI and Sev groups.Compared with group SCI, the serum cTnI concentrations and CaSR protein and mRNA expression were significantly decreased at T1,2 in Sev group.The damage to myocardial cells was significantly reduced in group SCI compared with group Sev.Conclusion Sevoflurane reduces myocardial damage through inhibiting CaSR expression in the myocardium of rats with high-level SCI.

Objective:To investigate the localization and identification value of high frequency ultrasound in displaying connection nerves of SNT, and to improve the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis.Methods: Retrospective analysis the results of high frequency ultrasound to 49 cases proved by pathology annually patients (54 tumors, 54 connection nerves), and compared with the results of pathological diagnosis, evaluating the accuracy of high frequency ultrasound in displaying connection nerves. Results: The longitudinal section appearance of tumor connection nerve showed hypoechoic band and parallel fine belt-like structure surrounded by hyperechoic lines, it was enlarged gradually and became triangular close to the tumor. To the distribution of sex, age and course of the disease, the rates of high frequency ultrasound in displaying connection nerves were no significant difference (x2=0.083,x2=0.454,x2=1.277;P>0.05). The rate of high frequency ultrasound in displaying connection nerves of SNT was 94.4%, compared with the results of pathological diagnosis, the distribution ratio and the rate of high frequency ultrasound in displaying connection nerves showed no significant difference(x2=0.015,P>0.05).Conclusion: When using high frequency ultrasound observed connection nerves of SNT, there were obvious image characteristics, and the rate of high frequency ultrasound in displaying connection nerves of SNT was high, it would be a better value to diagnostic SNT.

Objective To discuss methods of pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar burst fractures among middle and old aged patients with different degree of osteoporosis, and to improve the clinical result by individualized treatment according to fracture characteristics. Methods There were totally 25 patients, 17 males, and 8 females. These patients with a mean age of 52 years (range, 43-63 years), had suffered from thoracolumbar burst fractures consisted of 1 T11 fracture, 6 T12 fractures, 8 L1 fractures, 7 L2 fractures, 3 L3 fractures. According to Jikeis osteoporosis grading system, 5 patients were of early stage, 7 of stage Ⅰ, 13 of stageⅡ. Posterior stabilization with the short-segment pedicle screw system were given to all the patients, among which 6 RF, 8 AF, 5 USS, 6 Socon were performed. Fifteen patients received anterolateral decompression, and ten patients accepted no decompression at all. Some measures were taken in order to enhance the fixation stiffness for pedicle screw system, such as increasing the screws diameter, using the vertebral body reducer to reduce the depressed vertebral body and so on. To enhance vertebral body strength after fracture union, transpedicular bone graft was also performed. Results All the patients achieved fracture union during the follow-up with a mean period of 28 months (range, 9-48 months). All of the fractures were reduced satisfactorily, SI (sagittal index) was improved from 53% to 89% after operation. No fracture of screws or rods occurred, also no screw loosened. No reduction loss was found. Conclusion In order to decrease failure rate of pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar fractures among middle and old aged patients, osteoporosis of vertebral body should never be neglected and, of course, treatment should be given with individualized fixation.
