Objective To analyze the clinical features of limb salvage surgery with epiphyseal preservation in children and adolescents, and to evaluate the recurrence rate, metastasis, complications, and the joint functional results after tumor resection. Methods From December 1995 to January 2003, we operated on 33 patients aging from 8 to 16 years (average 12.2 years) with diagnosis of primary malignant bone tumor of the extremities with preserving the epiphysis in the limb salvage surgery. In this group, the tumor located in distal femur in 24 cases and in proximal tibia in 9 cases. There were 23 osteosarcomas, 6 Ewing sarcomas, 2 chondrosarcomas, and 2 invasive osteoblastomas. The tumors were staged clinically, 2 cases inⅠA, 2 cases inⅠB, 17 cases in ⅡA, and 12 cases inⅡB. According to the relationship between the tumor and epiphyseal plate, the metaphyseal tumors in children were classified into 3 types: 18 cases were categorized as type Ⅰ, 13 as type Ⅱ, and 2 as type Ⅲ. The patients received 2-4 cycles of preoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and another 6 cycles after surgery. Serious bone defects after tumor resections were repaired with massive allograft bone transplantation, followed by internal fixation by intramedullary nails and cancellous screws. Results Among the 33 cases, 3 cases were lost to follow up. 29 cases had complete clinical data. Postoperative follow-up was 12-72 months (average 37.6 months). Recurrences were seen in 3 cases, with one local recurrence in type Ⅲ case one year after tumor resection, other 2 recurrences around the femoral vessels in typeⅡcases 15 and 30 months after the tumor resection respectively. The recurrence rate accounted for 10.3%. Amputation was performed for the cases with recurrences. But pulmonary metastasis developed and the patients died. In this cohort, 9 cases died. Five-year survival rate was 57.9%. 4 cases reported 5 complications (17.2%). No patient reported skin necrosis, hematoma, infection, rejection to the allograft, and nonunion at the end of the follow-up. According to the functional evaluation criteria of Enneking, excellent were 11 cases, good 13 cases, fair 3 cases, and poor 2 cases. The excellent or good rate was 82.8%. Conclusion The limb salvage surgery with preservation of epiphysis for malignant bone tumors in children and adolescents guarantees the patient's satisfactory postoperative limb functional results. Preoperative effective adjuvant chemotherapy and prevention of postoperative complications deserve great attention.

Objective To explore the immune function injury and its mechanism in drug abuser.Methods The immune function changes in 50 drug abusers were compared with normal healthy populations by detection of the indexes of subgroups of Th cells, transformation rate of lymphocytes,IgA,IgM,IgG,IgE,compliment C3,C4,IL 1, IL 2,IL 6 TNF and NO.Result In peripheral blood the percentage of Th1 cell, transformation rate of lymphocyte, IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE content, compliment C4,C4, IL 1, IL 2,IL 6,and TNF levels were significantly lower than normal(P< 0.01).The value of Th1/Th2 was lower than normal as well(P< 0.05).NO content was significantly higher than normal(P< 0.001).Conclusion The mechanism of immune function injury in drug abuser might be correlative to direct injury of drugs and their inhibition effect on the thymus hypothalamus hypophysis adrenal axis.

Many factors can result in X ray film overthick and overthin in medical X-ray radiation.In order to ensure the correctness of diagnosis and the focus can be presented at the proper time,it is very im- portant for the overthick and overthin film to be processed and corrected.It has been proved through the test that the satisfied result can be reached through the proper regulating measure such as making a copy of a film.

AlM:To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of traumatic retinal detachment.
METHODS: All 50 cases ( 56 eyes ) of suspicious traumatic retinal detachment from January to June in 2013 were enrolled in this study. All first received the two-dimensional ultrasound, then the color Doppler ultrasound, finally, these results were compared with the results of surgery.
RESULTS: All 56 eyes were observed intravitreal abnormal spots by the two-dimensional ultrasound, and 39 eyes were observed color blood signal by the color Doppler ultrasound. Forty eyes were approved retinal detachment by surgery.
CONCLUSlON: lt is better to display the intravitreal abnormal spots and color blood signal by the color Doppler ultrasound than by the two - dimensional ultrasound, so there is important clinical significance of the color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of traumatic retinal detachment.

Objective To explore the relationship between predictable ocular motor control and cognitive function in Parkinson's disease(PD). Methods Videonystagmography was used to examine 24 patients with idiopathic PD(PD group) and 24 healthy controls(control group) on predictable ocular motor control.The accuracies of saccade were compared between two groups.The correlation among accuracy for predictive saccade(latency

Objective To explore mechanism ( s) is dynamic expression and internal relations of c-kit gene and miR-21 in rat ventricular remodeling .Methods SD rats( n=140) were randomly divided into normal control group ( n=15 ) and heart failure model group ( n=125 ) .Heart failure model:4 mg/kg intraperitoneal injection of adria-mycin.To detect the cardiac function of rats in eight weeks , proving the heart failure .Then harvest the rat heart , frozen section , using immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence color to detect the expression changes of miR-21 and c-kit in myocardial tissue .Results The emergence of the pathological changes of cardiac muscle cells after myocardial infarction in the heart failure groups and the control group didn't appear the myocardial infarction and heart failure .Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence show that miR-21 positive cells in normal and heart failure myocardium mainly express in vascular endothelium ,a few myocardial cells and stem cells , and endocardial expressing quantity fell more than epicardial;c-kit positive cells tend to cluster together , mainly gather in the epi-cardial and its nearby , and the expressing quantity decrease significantly after heart failure .A small number of cells exsit miR-21 and c-kit common expression in both groups ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusions The decreased expression of c-kit and miR-21 is highly related to rats heart failure and left ventricular remodeling .

The implementation of cancer genome scientific program has promoted the diagnosis, prevention and tar-get treatment of diseases at molecular level with massive cancer genome data accumulated. Effective mining and use of cancer genome data have thus become the focus in the field of cancer genome. The cancer genome was annotated and demonstrated according to the mining of high-throughput cancer genome data from American National Cancer Research Center, namely the disease-named entity and drug-named entity were identified from the gene function descriptive text and the mined high-throughput data were annotated from their clinical application, in order to help scientific workers to find the relationship between diseases, drugs and genes in scientific literature.

Neurotrophic factor activates signal pathways of intracellular phosphoinositide 3-kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase after acting on Trk receptor tyrosine kinase.It promotes the survival and differentiation of neurons.The development of small molecule Trk agonists of non-peptides and neurotrophic factor simulants can avoid a number of shortcomings of neurotrophic factors while agitating trk receptor signal transduction.It may provide a novel therapeutic approach for the treatment of nervous system diseases.
