Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of microwave heliotherapy in situ on the primary or metastatic malignant tumors of the pelvis.Methods From February 2000 to April 2009,18 patients with primary or metastatic malignant tumors of the pelvis were treated with microwave heliotherapy in situ,and followed a total or partial tumor resection.There were 11 males and 7 females with an average age of 45 years(range,16-72).Twelve cases were diagnosed as primary malignant tumor and 6 as metastases.Locations of tumors involved:the Ⅰ region 6 cases.the Ⅱ region 10 cases.and the Ⅲ region 2 cases.The exposures of all tumors were via aTtype or ilioinguinal approach.The lesions were heated at 50℃ for 20 min by 2450 MHz microwave,with surrounding soft tissue protected by copper.mesh.The necrotic tumor tissues were total or partial excised after treatment,with preservation of the anatomical continuity of the pelvic ring.Results The duration of surgery was 60-180 min (110 min on average).The blood loss was 400-800ml(480 ml on average).All patients were followed-up for 0.5-7 years(3.5 years on average).Tumor local recurred in 1 case with chondrosarcoma,and was survival in tumor-bearing after 6 months follow up.One case with malignant fibrous histiocytoma died due to brain,pulmonary,and all body metastases.One case with osteosarcoma died due to pulmonary metastases.Five cases with the metastases died due to non-pelvis metastases.Functions of hip joint in 18 patients were as follows:flexion 80°-130°,extension 0°-10°,abduction 25°-35°,and adduction 18°-23°.Conclusion The clinical result demonstrated that the advantages of microwave heliotherapy in situ were quick increase of temperature,sensitive responses,easy control of temperature,and effective inactivation of tumor cells in the malignant bone tumors of pelvis.

Objective To investigate the application effect of anterior clinoid process drilled off via epidural approach in posterior communicating artery aneurysm ( PCoAA) clipping. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients with PCoAA who underwent craniotomy from January 2012 to January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively,including 22 patients performed anterior clinoid process drilled off and 20 did not. The difficult or easy degree of intraoperative aneurysm clipping and postoperative efficacy were analyzed. Results The aneurysms in 22 patients underwent anterior clinoid process were clipped satisfactorily. The brain retractor was not used during the procedure. Only one patient had cerebral infarction after procedure. No patients had oculomotor nerve paralysis and incomplete clipping of aneurysms. Of the 20 patients without the anterior clinoid process drilled off,3 aneurysms were clipped incompletely because it was difficult to implant aneurysm clips, 2 had cerebral infarction, and 1 had oculomotor nerve paralysis. Conclusion Removing the anterior clinoid process drilled off via extradural approach may bring convenience for PCoAA clipping. It can effectively avoid the difficulty of implanting aneurysm clips during the procedure. Its application is safe and can reduce postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifesfations and diagnostic and therapeutic features of cholangiocarcinoma associated with hepatolithiasis.Methods The clinical data, the diagnotic and therapeutic featares of 54 cases of cholangiocacinoma associated with hepatolithiasis were retrospectively analyzed.Results The occurrence rate of hepatolithiasis concomitant with hepatocholangiocarcinoma was 11.8%.Due to a lack of specific clinical manifestations, the preoperative diagnosis of this condition was difficult. In this series, the (correct) diagnotic rate of hepatocholangiocarcinoma before operation was only 11.1%. The radical resection rate was 51.8%. Radical resection of the tumor had a better prognosis than that of non-resection of tumor.(Conclusions) Patients with long-term recurrent hepatolithiasis tended to have associated cholangiocarcinoma. Early diagnosis of the disease was difficult, and the treatment results and prognosis were poor. Therefore, (patients) with hepatolithiasis, espesially those with recurrent attacks, should undergo operation early. In cases diagnosed as hepatic cholangioearcinoma at operation, a radical resection should be performed, if possible, and a favorable outcome may be attained.

Objective To investigate the methods and therapeutic effects of image-guided percutaneous needle iniection of methylprednisolone and injectable calcium sulfate for simple bone cysts.Methods Thirty-seven patients with simple bone cysts from 0ctober 2006 to August 2010 were analysed retrospectively in our hospital,including 26 males and 11 females with the average age of 13.2 years(range,8-22 years).Five cases of proximal femus lesions,with proximal thigh pain,limp and other symptoms.Thirty-two cases of proximal humeral lesions,16 patients had proximal pain and other symptoms of upper arm,the other 16 cases were asymptomatic.Preoperative AP and lateral X-ray.CT and MRl were taken.Under the C-arm X-ray monitor.two needles were inserted into the proximal and distal of cysts respectively,Omnipaque contrast was iniected to confirm the two needles is interlinked,then repeated rinsing with normal saline,then 120 mg methylprednisolone and iniectable calcium sulfate were injected,till the cysts were full up.Patients after treatment were assessed according to modified Neer X-ray criteria.Resuits The average hospitalization was 2.3 days (range.1-3 days).X-ray was reviewed every month,additional injection was performed if bone cysts stopped decreasing for 2 consecutive months,iniection 2 times in 6 eases,and 31 cases were injected only once.After 3 months follow.up 37 cases,according to modified Neer X-ray criteria,6 eases regarded as grade Ⅱ,8 as grade Ⅲ,23 as grade Ⅳ;after 6 months,31 patients were followed up,including 2 cases as grade Ⅱ,4 cases as grade Ⅲ,25 as grade Ⅳ;after 24 months of follow-up 26 cases,3 as grade Ⅲ,23 as grade Ⅳ;after 36 months follow-up,19 cases were all grade Ⅳ.Conclusion Imaging-guided percutaneous iniection of methylprednisolone and inieetable calcium sulfate for simple bone cysts has demonstrated,with less trauma,lower complications incidence and quicker recovery.

Objective To study clinical application of femoral head exclusion after resection of pelvic tumors around acetabulum with less limb damage and complications.Methods From October 1999 to August 2009,18 patients with pelvic tumors around acetabalum (zone Ⅱ of Ennekingl were treated with tumor resection and femoral head exclusion,including 16 males and 2 females with an average age of 54 years(range,18-72).The diagnosis were chondrosarcoma(4 cases),osteosarcoma(2),giant cell tumor of bone(4),synoviosareoma(1),malignant fibrous histiocytoma(1),Ewing sarcoma(1),and metastatic carcinoma(5).Throe cases were treated by selective arterial embolization before operation and 4 cases by temporary block of lower abdominal aorta or common iliac arte.Regular follow-up in clinic was done to observe function of joint and radiographic imaging.Results All patients were followed up for 55 months(range,3-118).The mean surgical time was 170 min(range,120-350 min).The mean blood loss was 1200 ml(range,600-2200 ml).All wounds were healed without infection.One patient with osteosarcoma and 3 with metastatic carcinoma died of multiple organ metastases during 6 months to 2 years after operation.The others had no local relapse.The mean limb discrepancy was 5.0 cm (range,2.0-7.5 cm).The mean Enneking score was 23 (range,20-27).All patients needed custom-made shoes with heightened heel of 2-3 cm.Osteonecrosis of the femoral head was not found in radiographic images.Eight cases had formed artificial acetabulum.One case had gentle lumbar scoliosis.Conclusion The clinical application of femoral head exclusion after resection of pelvic tumors around acetabulum had low complications,less pain,low relapse,better function in the recent period.

Objective To investigate the changes of fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and bile acid levels in patients with colon cancer.Methods Totally 189 patients with colon cancer (CC group),201 patients with adenomatous polyp (AP group),and 512 healthy patients (control group) who were confirmed by endoscopy were included in this study.The fecal SCFA and bile acid levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results The total bile acids,primary bile acids,and secondary bile acids were not significantly different among these three groups (P ＞ 0.05).The chenodeoxycholate level in the CC group [0.338 (0.101,0.416) mg/g] was significandy higher than that in AP group [0.241 (0.108,0.375) mg/g] and control group [0.248 (0.110,0.371) mg/g] (P=0.025,P=0.023),but was not significantly different between the AP groupand the control group (P ＞ 0.05).The deoxycholic acid level in CC group [0.375 (0.136,0.503) mg/g] and AP group [0.369 (0.113,0.494) mg/g] were significandy higher than that in control group [0.277 (0.115,0.412) mg/g] (P=0.026,P=0.024),and the difference between CC group and AP group was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).The level of lithocholic acid in CC group [0.386 (0.147,0.507) mg/g] was significantly higher than those in the AP group [0.103 (0.012,0.238) mg/g] and control group [0.239 (0.081,0.405) rng/g] (P=0.011,P=0.027); also,its level in AP group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P =0.022).The levels of total short-chain fatty acids,acetic acid,propionic acid,and isovaleric acid were not significantly different among the control group,AP group,and CC group (P＞0.05).The levels of butyrate [0.105 (0.059,0.198) mg/g,0.090 (0.050,0.183) mg/g],isobutyl acid [0.036 (0.024,0.046) mg/g,0.025 (0.020,0.034) mg/g] in CC group and AP group were significantly higher than in the control group [0.081 (0.051,0.107) mg/g,0.021 (0.016,0.029) mg/g] (butyrate:P=0.026,P=0021; isobutyl acid:P=0.025,P=0.019),and the difference between CC group and AP group was statistically significant (butyrate:P =0.031; isobutyl acid:P =0.024).Conclusions Fetal chenodeoxycholic acid,lithocholic acid,butyric acid,and isobutyric acid may play a role in the developmem of colon cancer,while deoxycholic acid may also be implicated in both colon cancer and colon adenomas.No association is found between other SCFA and bile acids and colorectal cancer/adenoma.

Objective To discuss the measurement of bone tumor volume on the basis of three dimensional images segmentation technology. Methods Twenty patients with lacunar bone tumor from Tianjin hospital and Tongji hospital were included in the study from January 2010 to August 2010. There were 11 males and 9 females. Each patient was exposed to spiral CT preoperatively. Then these primitive CT dates were imported into digital orthopedics clinical research platform (SuperImage orthopedics edition 1.1, Cybermed Ltd). The volume and maximum diameter of bone tumor were measured before operation by three-dimensional reconstruction technology. The actual tumor volume was measured during the operation. The tumor volume was also calculated from plain X-rays and CT scans as ellipsoidal or cylindrical depending on the tumor configuration and presence or absence of a soft tissue component. Results The tumor volume was measured to be (14.92±7.34) mm3, (16.65±6.95) mm3 and (34.29±15.70) mm3 using three-dimensional reconstruction technology, intraoperative elevation, and traditional radiograph measurement separately. It was found that there was no difference regarding the outcomes of measurement between three-dimensional reconstruction technology and gross intraoperative measurement. But obvious difference was detected between gross intraoperative measurement and traditional radiograph measurement. Coefficient of correlation between diameter and volume of bone tumor was 0.325 (P=0.162). Conclusion Digital measurement is a precise, efficient,convenient and repeatable method for bone tumor measurement.

Objective To explore surgical procedure of combined anterior-lateral and lateral approach for the treatment of bone tumors of femoral neck. Methods Forty patients with bone tumors of femoral neck treated in Tianjin Hospital were included from July 2005 to August 2009. Of the patients, 12 who were treated with curettage and bone graft through combined anterior-lateral and lateral incision were analyzed in this study. There were 7 males and 5 females with an average age of 34 years ranging from 17 to 68 years. 4 patients were diagnosed as chondroblastoma, 2 giant cell tumor, 3 fibrous dysplasia, and 3 single bone cysts. 7 patients suffered from pathologic fractures, and 5 had presented thin cortical bone because of tumor involvement. There were 1 tumor located in H1 zone, 4 in H2 zone and 7 in H1,2 zone according to ISOLS femoral neck classification. All patients were treated by curettage and bone graft via anterior-lateral approach, 10 cases underwent internal fixation with anatomical plate, and 2 cases with canulated screws with lateral approach. Results The follow-up time ranged from 10 to 68 months with an average of 35 months.Pain disappeared in all patients, and there were not recurrence of tumor, pathologic fractures and avascular necrosis. One case had complained of lateral femoral skin numbness which may be caused by injures of femoral lateral nerves. One case had difficulties in the valgus of hip joint. The mean MSTS score was 29.2 points ranging from 27 to 30 points. Conclusion Anterior approaches of "SP" incision is helpful to thorough curettage which decrease the risk of recurrence due to good visualization and intemal fixation is easy to perform via lateral approaches. The result suggested that combined anterior-lateral "SP" and lateral incision is liable option in treatment of bone tumors of femoral neck.

Objective To construct green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled pSELECT-GFP zeohBMP2 eukaryotic expression vector. Methods The encoding fragment of hBMP2 gene was obtained from a recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/CT-hBMP2 by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). hBMP2 gene was inserted into pTA2-T-easy and pSELECT-GFPzeo-MCS eukaryotic expression vector, and then transferred into competence DHSα cells. After screening, pSELEC-GFPzeo-hBMP2 was obtained and identified by sequence analysis. The recombinant vector pSELECT-GFP zeo-rhBMP2 was transfected into CHO cells. The successful trasfection was verified by fluorescence microscope in 48-72 hours. The RT-PCR and immunofluorescence was used to confirm the hBMP2 expression. Western Blotting was used to detect the secretion of hBMP2.Results A 1216 bp fragment was obtained by PCR, the same as expectant fragment. The recombined pSE-LECT-GFPzeo-hBMP2 eukaryotic expression vector was identified by restriction mapping and sequence analysis. The results were identical with that of reported hBMP2 sequence (Genebank NM-001200). The successful transfection was verified by fluorescence microscope in 48-72 hours. The stable expression in eukaryotic cells was confirmed by immunofluorescence and RT-PCR which showed an obvious band between 1000-2000 bp. Western Blotting identified the immunogenicity of recombinant human BMP2 with the molecular weight of about 17×103. Conclusion The pSELECT-GFPzeo-hBMP2 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed successfully.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients complicated with major bleeding after primary coronary intervention (PCI) for acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods During the period of January 2004-January 2008, primary PC1 was performed in 412 consecutive patients with acute STEMI at Shanghai Ruijin Hospital. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including death, reoccurrence of myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization, in patients with major bleeding were compared with that in patients without major bleeding. Results Compared to patients without bleeding, the patients with bleeding were older (70.0 ± 8.9 years vs 64.9 ± 12.7 years, P = 0.04), mainly the females (51.9% vs 23.1%, P = 0.001) and treated more often with glycoprotein (GP) Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor inhibitor (88.9% vs 69.4%, P = 0.03) or intra-aortic balloon pump (7.4% vs 1.3%, P = 0.02). In-hospital and one-year MACE rate in the patients with bleeding was 18.5% and 37.0% respectively, which were significantly higher than that in the patients without bleeding (5.7% and 14.3%, with P = 0.008 and P = 0.002, respectively). Multivariate analysis indicated that patient aged over 70 years, feminine gender and use of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor inhibitor were independent predictors for the occurrence of major bleeding. The occurrence of major bleeding after primary PCI was significantly correlated with MACE occurred within one year after the procedure (OR 2.79, 95% CI: 2.21-5.90, P < 0.001). Conclusion In patients with acute STEMI, the occurrence of major bleeding after primary PCI is closely linked to the increased MACE rate within one year after the treatment. Feminine gender, aged patient and use of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa receptor inhibitor are independent predictors to increase the danger of major bleeding.
