Objective To study the diagnostic significance and clinical value of genetic analysis in children with neonatal diabetes. Methods Gene mutation analysis was performed in four patients from Zhengzhou children ' s hospital with diagnosis of with neonatal diabetes. Therapeutic effect of glibenclamide in patients with or without gene mutation was compared. Results KCNJ11 gene mutation was found in two patients with neonatal diabetes. Glibenclamide was found only effective for blood glucose control in patients with KCNJ11 mutation. Therefore, Insulin remains the best therapeutic choice in patients without the genetic mutation. Conclusions Genetic mutation status may be useful in choosing treatment options of neonatal diabetic patients, therefore, should be performed in all children with neonatal diabetes.

Objective To investigate the significance of an accessory hepatic vein (AHV) in the interventional treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS).Methods From Mar.2011 to Jun.2013,35 patients with BCS who also had an AHV were included into this study.The patients were divided into two groups according to whether the AHV was obstructive:21 patients had obstruction to the inferior vena cava (IVC) and to the 3 hepatic veins (HV),but the AHV was open; 14 patients had obstruction to the AHV and the 3 HVs.In 13 of these patients the IVC was open,but 1 patient had obstruction to the IVC.During treatment,the patients in the AHV open group underwent balloon dilation or stent insertion of IVC ; patients in the AHV obstruction group underwent balloon dilation or stent insertion of AHV.The patient with obstruction to the IVC underwent balloon dilation of IVC first.Results All patients were successfully treated without any procedure-related complications.In the AHV open group,the average pressure of the AHV decreased from (28.81 ± 6.23) cmH2 O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) before treatment to (18.62 ± 5.06) cmH2O after treatment (P ＜ 0.01) ; the average serum TBIL decreased from (23.24 ± 6.41) μmol/L before treatment to (19.52 ± 4.31) μmol/L after treatment (P ＜ 0.01) ; the average serum albumin changed from (33.76 ± 3.74) g/L before treatment to (34.05 ± 3.62) g/L after treatment (P =0.485).In the AHV obstruction group,the average pressure of the AHV decreased from (36.29 ± 11.65) cmH2O before treatment to (22.07 ± 7.67) cmH2O after treatment (P ＜ 0.01) ; the average serum TBIL decreased from (31.24 ± 9.54) μmol/L before treatment to (20.93 ±7.26) μmol/L after treatment (P ＜0.01) ; the average serum albumin changed from (32.14 ± 4.55) g/L before treatment to (32.11 ± 4.47) g/L after treatment (P =0.861).During follow-up,no patients experienced recurrence of symptoms in the AHV open group; one patient experienced recurrence of symptoms 5 months after treatment in the AHV obstruction group.This patient received a second balloon dilation of the AHV.Conclusions For patients with BCS with IVC and the 3 HVs obstruction,if the AHV was open,we could only treat the IVC.For patients with BCS with AHV and the 3 HVs obstruction,AHV dilation followed by recanalization of AHV was also effective.

Objective To explore the clinicopathologic factors impacting recurrence and survival in rectal cancer patients after radical resection.Methods Clinicopathologic data of 1 166 patients with rectal cancer in Changhai Hospital,were recruited between 2005 and 2010.Kaplan-Meier analysis and the logrank test were used to evaluate the effects of the pathology on patients' survival.Cox regression model was used to assess independent factors associated with clinical prognosis.Results The 1,3,5-year overall survival rates were 94.3％,81.2％ and 76.5％,median survival time was 53 months.328 patients had recurrence and metastases,with a median recurrence time of 18 months.The independent prognostic factors for overall survival time were CEA,CA19-9,tumor distance to dentate line,surgical modality,radical operation,tumor invasion,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis and postoperative treatment.Surgical treatment,radical operation or not,tumor invasion and lymph node metastasis were statistically significant associated with tumor recurrence and metastases.Conclusions The important factors inffuencing the prognosis of rectal cancer patients were CEA,CA19-9,tumor distance to dentate line,surgical modality,radial operation,tumor in vasion,tumor differentiation,lymph node metastasis,and post operative treatment.

Objective To evaluate the number of lymph node harvested during radical resection of invasive rectal carcinoma(stage Ⅰ toⅢ).Methods From January 2000 to June 2008,the pathological data of colorectal carcinoma patients who were operated on were retrospectively reviewed.Exclusion criteria included recurrent colorectal tumor,Tis tumor,R1 or R2 resection,tumor resection transanally or endoscopically,synchronous diseases affecting the surgical procedure for the reetal cancer(familial adenomatous polyposis.synchronous coloreetal carcinoma)and rectal cancer receiving perioperative neoadiuvant chemoradiation.Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney Test and Chi-Square Test (SPSS 15.0).Results were expressed as mean±SEM.Results A total of 2282 patients were identified.including 1216 cases in the rectal carcinoma group and 1066 cases in the colon carcinoma group.There were no significant difference in gender(719/1216 vs.593/1066,P=0.092)and overall TNM stage (P=0.067)between the two groups.But patients of rectal cancer were younger(58.6±0.4 vs.62.0±0.4.P=0.000).The lymph node retrieval in the rectal carcinoma group was significantly less than that of colon carcinoma group(9.4±0.1 vs.10.5±0.1,P=0.000).There were significantly less rectal cancer patients with a 1ymph node harvest equal to or more than 12 nodes(P=0.000).Patients in the low rectal cancer group(≤7 cm from the anal verge.n=834)had less lymph nodes harvested than the mid-high rectal cancer group(＞7 am and≤15 cm from the anal verge.n=382)(9.2±0.1 vs.9.9±0.2,P=0.009).Conclusion The lymph node harvest in the rectal carcinoma group was significantly less than that in the colon carcinoma group.A new standard may be necessary to define the adequate number of lymph nodes for rectal cancer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of MRI-detected extramural venous invasion (mrEMVI) in predicting tumor responses to preoperative chemoradiatiotherapy (pre-CRT) in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).Methods The clinicopathological data,tumor response and mrEMVI information of 47 LARC from February 2013 to December 2014 were retrospectively collected.mrEMVI was given 0-4 score according to the degree,3-4 score were defined as mrEMVI positive;patients with mrEMVI positive were divided into three subgroups according to vascular size (large,middle and small).Association between different mrEMVI subgroup and tumor response was analyzed using Fisher exact test.Result 26 patients were mrEMVI positive.18 and 8 patients scored 3 and 4 for mrEMVI positive,respectively;16,6 and 4 patients were small,middle and larger vessels of mrEMVI positive,respectively.Patients with mrEMVI positive had less TRG 0-1 than mrEMVI negative (P =0.019).Scored 4 and larger vessel of mrEMVI positive had less TRG 0-1 than mrEMVI negative (P =0.038 and 0.017).Conclusions mrEMVI positive score 4 or larger vessel predict poor tumor response to pre-CRT in patients of locally advanced rectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the influence of chondrocytes originating from different source on early chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in isolated co-culture system.Methods We applied hanging cell culture system to culture chondrocytes of different origin (osteoarthritis chondrocyte cells,nomal chondrocyte cells,infant chondrocyte cells) and controls.These chondrocytes and MSCs of the same origin were cultured in the common medium in a separated condition,and observed by microscope at 3,6,9,12 day after co culture.Expression levels of aggrecan,collagen type Ⅱ (Col 2),cartilage-specific transcription factor (Sox-9) in MSCs of different origin were determined by Real-time PCR.Results MSCs showed obviously morphological differentiation induced by chondrocytes of different origin at 12 day after coculture as compared with controls.Real-time PCR analysis showed that SOX9 mRNA level was stimulated by 1.7-fold,1.6-fold and 1.2-fold (all P＜0.05) and aggrecan mRNA level was increased by 2.8-fold,2.2-fold and 1.3-fold (all P＜0.05) in infant chondrocytes group,nomal chondrocytes group,osteoarthritis chondrocytes group respectively as compared with controls while COL2 mRNA level had no significant differences among the four groups.Corresponding protein signal level had obvious differences among the four groups,especially in infant chondrocytes as compared with osteoarthritis chondrocytes and nomal chondrocytes.Conclusions Isolated co-culture system may indirectly promote MSCs differentiation to chondrocytes by local micro-environment regulation.Chondrocytes of different origin have different effects on MSCs differentiation,but they could promote MSCs differentiation to chondrocytes.
