Transcutaneous PGE 1 cream as a topical vascular dilation drug has advantages snch as wide indications,taking effect quick and enduring, and less side effect. So it might be a new simple, safe and effective drug for the treatment of vascular spasm.

Objective To investigate the effects of hypoxic conditions on expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and P-glycoprotein (P-gp),and the relationship between HIF-1α and P-gp.Methods Tumor tissues from 54 cases of patients with colonic neoplasm in Xingtai People's Hospital were selected after operation from June 2013 to June 2015.The expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor tissues were detected by using immunohistochemistry,and their correlations to clinical and pathologic features were analysed.The expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor cell lines under normoxia and hypoxia conditions were detected by using cell smear method,and correlation between HIF-1α expression and P-gp expression was analysed.Results Among tumor tissues from 58 cases of patients with colonic neoplasm,the positive rate of HIF-1α expression was 58.62％,and that of P-gp expression was 46.55％.The positive rates of HIF-1α and P-gp expressions of patients on the Dukes stage C+D were significantly higher than those of patients on A+B phase (P＜0.05).Additionally,the positive rates of HIF-1α and P-gp expressions of patients with lymphatic metastasis were significantly higher than those of patients without lymphatic metastasis (P＜0.05).The HIF-1α expression was positively correlated with the P-gp expression (r=0.574,P＜0.01).For the same cell lines,the expression levels of HIF-1α and P-gp under hypoxia condition were significantly higher than those under normoxia condition,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.01).While,under the same oxygen conditions,no statistically significant difference was found in expression levels of HIF-1 and P-gp among different colonic tumor cell lines (P＞0.05).Conclusion Overexpression and coexpression of HIF-1α and P-gp exist in colon cancer.The expression levels of HIF-1α and P-gp in patients with different Dukes stages and patients with or without lymph node metastasis are significantly different,and positive correlation is observed between the expression of HIF-1α and P-gp.Hypoxia condition can induce an increase in expressions of HIF-1α and P-gp in colonic tumor cells.

Objective To evaluate the significance of tumor markers CEA and CA15-3,and biochemical markers of bone turnover (total procol]agen type Ⅰ amino-terminal propeptide (TP I NP),β-isomerized carboxyterminal propeptide (β-CTx),ALP and PTH) in the diagnosis of bone metastasis from breast cancer.Methods A total of 78 patients (all females) with mean age (56.72 ± 10.76) years,who were diagnosed with breast cancer,were included in this study.The patients were divided into two groups based on radionuclide bone imaging:with bone metastasis (n =32) and without bone metastasis (n =46).The serum concentrations of CEA,CA15-3,TP I NP,[β-CTx,PTH,ALP were measured.Gleason scores were evaluated.The diagnostic value was evaluated by ROC curve.The two groups were compared using two-sample t test.The correlations between bone metastasis and tumor markers,bone metastasis and biochemical markers of bone turnover were analyzed with Pearson correlation and logistic analysis.Results The serum levels of CEA,CA15-3,TPINP,β-CTx,PTH and ALP were significantly higher in the group with bone metastasis than those in the group without bone metastasis (t:4.16-7.56,all P ＜ 0.05).For the diagnosis of bone metastasis from breast cancer,the AUC of CEA,CA15-3,TPINP,[β-CTx,PTH and ALP was 0.815,0.887,0.869,0.852,0.844,0.731,respectively.Using the cut-off values of 4.18 μg/L for CEA,0.04 U/L for CA15-3,49.70 μg/L for TP I NP,0.47 pg/L for β-CTx,54.90 ng/L for PTH and 49.90 U/L for ALP,the sensitivities were 56.3％ (18/32),75.0％ (24/32),78.1％ (25/32),81.3％ (26/32),78.1％ (25/32),68.8％ (22/32) and the specificities were 80.4％ (37/46),84.8％ (39/46),76.1％ (35/46),78.3％ (36/46),69.6％ (32/46),58.7％ (27/46),respectively.CEA,CA15-3,TPINP,β-CTx,PTH,ALP and Gleason score were positively correlated with the presence of bone metastasis (r:0.267-0.636,all P ＜ 0.05).CEA,CA15-3,TP I NP,β-CTx,PTH and Gleason score were independent predictors for bone metastasis of breast cancer (odds ratios:2.45,3.44,1.24,1.54,1.11,2.22,all P ＜0.05).The total coincidence rate of regression model was 81.3％ (26/32) in patients with bone metastasis.Conclusions The diagnostic values of CEA,CA15-3,TP I NP,β-CTx and PTH are comparable.Combined use of these parameters may be helpful for the early diagnosis of bone metastasis from breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the economic effects of different rehabilitation patterns for children suffering from cerebral palsy. Methods A total of 153 cerebral palsy patients were divided into a hospital-community-family rehabilitation group(n = 52), a hospital rehabilitation group (n = 50) and a non-intervention control group (n = 51). Those in the first group were provided with a hospital-community-family rehabilitation therapy pattern, those in the sec-ond only hospital rehabilitation and the third no intervention. All the patients were evaluated using the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) Scale and the Cost Measure Scale at admission, and at the end of the 3rd and 6th months of treatment. Results There were no significant differences in gross motor function among the three groups at admission. At the end of the 3rd month and the 6th month there were significant differences between the children in the hospital-community-family rehabilitation program and those in the hospital rehabilitation program in terms of gross motor function. Their general percentage, monthly percentage and monthly relative percentage results were all significantly different. But there was no significant difference in the non-interventian control group since admission. Every unit of improvement in gross motor function cost $101.87±97.59, $75.11±45.75 in the hospital-community-family reha-bilitation program and $387.21±54.76, $170.31±123.16 in the hospital rehabilitation program at the end of the 3rd and the 6th month respectively. So the cost of the former was only about 30% of the latter. Conclusion Hospital rehabilitation is suitable for the early rehabilitation of cerebral palsy children. Hospital-community-family rehabilitation is better for long-term rehabilitation of cerebral palsy children, and what is more, it can decrease the rehabilitation ther-apy cost substantially. So a hospital-community-family rehabilitation pattern is more compatible with China's national situation.

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well developed technique to which the spatial orientation of acetabular component is crucial. Since the idea of "safe zone" being proposed, such idea has long been obeyed by hip surgeons but has also been challenged in recent years. This is because post-operative instability could happen even if acetabular components are placed within "safe zone" . The latest researches have demonstrated that sagittal spinal balance and spino-pelvic mobility can affect the spatial orientation of acetabular components. Factors including spinal degenerative changes, long lumbosacral changes and spinal ankyloses can lead to sagittal spinal imbalance and/or influence spino-pelvic mobility, which subsequently affect pelvic retroversion. Proper pelvic retroversion is a way to compensate for sagittal spinal imbalance and is beneficial to post-operative stability. It is necessary for hip surgeons to rethink "safe zone" before performing THA and understand spinal balance as well as spinopelvic mobility. The goal is to reduce the rate of dislocation. This review started by introducing the related spinopelvic parameters frequently seen in papers published recently and the definitions of acetabular cup orientations. After the spinal sagittal balance and its compensatory mechanisms session, discussed its clinical relevance, as well as the significance of spinal mobility, in spinopelvic motion under three different postures.

Objective:To evaluate the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) and salivary gland ultrasound scoring(SGUS) system in the diagnosis of salivary glands lesions in patients with Sj?gren′s syndrome(SS) and to compare the diagnostic efficiency of the two methods.Methods:From June 2019 to November 2020, Fifty-eight patients with suspected SS were selected from the Affiliated Changzhou No.2 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. According to the 2002 American-European Consensus Group classification standard, the enrolled patients were divided into two groups: SS group (47 cases) and non-SS group(11 cases). According to symptom duration, SS group was divided into the ≤5 years group (29 cases) and the >5 years group (18 cases). Meanwhile, 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study as normal control group. The diagnostic value of salivary gland ultrasound scoring system and Young′s modulus in SS were analyzed.Results:The differences in Young′s modulus of parotid gland and submandibular gland between SS group and non-SS group (or control group) were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ultrasound score of SS group was significantly higher than that of non-SS group and control group (all P<0.05). SGUS and Young′s modulus were not significantly different between different course groups (all P>0.05). The areas under ROC curve of the mean Young′s value in parotid and submandibular gland and the SGUS were 0.801, 0.829 and 0.676, respectively. The comparison of the area under the curve between the Young′s modulus of the parotid and submandibular glands and the ultrasound score was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:SWE and Ultrasonography scoring system have certain value in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions in SS, and can provide important reference information for clinical diagnosis from different perspectives. The diagnostic efficiency of SWE for salivary glands lesions in patients with SS is better than that of SGUS scoring system.
