Objective To investigate the changes of coagulation and fibrinolysis systems in patients with solid cancer. Determine the mechanism of thrombosis formation in solid cancer and the the metastasis mechanism of solid cancer.Methods To measure plasma concentrations of TF,TFPI,t-PA,u-PA,PAI-1 by ELISA and test protein C activity(PC:A)by chromogenic substrate assay.Results Plasma concentrations of TF,TFPI,u-PA,PAI-1 were all higher in solid cancer patients than normal control and higher in metasta- sized team than non-metastasized team.In the dead team,u-PA and PAI-1 were higher while TFPI was low- er. t-PA was higher in cancer patients combined with venous thromboembolism while protein C activity was lower.Conclusion Disorders of coagulation and fibrinolysis system are related to the thrombosis formation in solid cancer.Coagulation and fibrinolysis factors take part in the metastasis progress of solid cancer. High concentration of u-PA and PAI-1 or low concentration of TFPI are considered to be related with poor outcome.

Purpose To investigate clinicopathologic fea-tures of sacral cellular schwanoma and the difference from sacral conventional schwanoma.Methods Eight cases of sacral cellular schwanoma were collected.Microscopic examination and immunohistochemistry were performed for studying the clinical feature,radiologic appearance,pathologic characteristic,immunophenotyping,differential diagnosis and postoperative prognosis.Results There were 5 females and 3 males,whose mean age was 46.4 years.The majority of patients complained of pain in sacrococcygeal region.Radiographically,there was an endosacral or endosacral and presacal mass.Histologically,cellular schwannoma was composed of spindle cells,arranged in interlacing fascicles without nuclear palisading and Verocay bodies.Antoni A and Antoni B were not seen overtly.The destruction of bone was found.Immunohistochemically,tumor cells were diffusely and strongly positive for S-100 protein and vimentin.The mean of Ki-67 index was 6%.Tumor recurrence of 4 cases occurred several years after initial surgical resection.The mean interval to recurrence was 6.5 years.Conclusion Sacral cellular schwanoma is a rare tumor.Compared with sacral conventional schwanoma,it shows different growth pattern and pathologic features.So pathological diagnosis of the tumor should be noted for clinical follow-up and treatment.

BACKGROUND: Cervical spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) is a special type of spinal cord injury. Because of the particularity of children in the period of growth and development on the aspects of anatomy and biomechanics, their injured mechanism and therapeutic method differ from those of adults.OBJECTIVE: To explore clinical feature and therapy of first-episode cervical SCIWORA in children.DESIGN: Retrospective analysis and self pre-and post-control observation.SETTING: Department of Spine Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital,Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 14 patients with cervical SCIWORA, who were treated at the Departmentof Spine Surgery, Second Affiliated Hospital,Harbin Medical University between June 1997 and June 2003. Inclusive criteria: ①patients who had dysfunction of sensation, exercise and sphincter to different degree in clinic, ②patients who had no fracture dislocation after cervical vertebra X-ray plain film and MRI examination. The MRI examination showed the sign of spinal cord injury. T1WI spinal cord became thick. T2WI distributed at strip-shape high-signal region along spinal prosenchyma and spread upward and downward. There were 3 patients with complete spinal cord injury and 11 patients with incomplete spinal cord injury, among the patients with incomplete injury, there were 6 patients with central cord syndrome (CCS), 3 with Brown-Sequard syndrome and 2withfrontal spinal cord injury syndrome.METHODS: Retrospective analysis was performed in 14 children patients with cervical SCIWORA. Thirteen patients were not treated with operation and one patient was treated with cervical posterior atlantoaxial fusion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ASIA grading before and after treatment in patients.RESULTS: There were 1 dead patient and 13 cases with 3-year follow up averagely. Three patients were with insignificant amelioration, and others had recovery of limb function to different degree. According to ASIA grading standard, before treatment there were 3 cases in A grade, 5 cases in B grade, 5 cases in C grade and 1 case in D grade, and after treatment there were 1 case recovering to B grade, 2 cases to C grade, 5 cases to D grade and 2 cases to E grade.CONCLUSION: Restoration of neurofunction of children with cervical SCIWORA has closely correlation with degree of primary injury of spinal cord. Most of the patients were not treated with operation, and those with obviously instable cervical vertebra can be treated with operation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the correlation of brainstem auditory evoked potentials(BAEP) and somatic evoked potentials (SEP) with therapeutic outcome of brain stem hemorrhage patients.MethodsBAEP and SEP were detected in the early period of 25 caees with brain stem hemorrhage by evoked potential instrument,and were surveilled dynamically.ResultsThere was good prognosis in the patients whose BAEP and SEP were normal in the first time and repeated detection.Poor prognosis happened in ones whose BAEP and SEP were abnormal in the first time and repeated detection.The difference was significant between them(P<0.05).ConclusionCombined detection and dynamic surveillance of BAEP and SEP could predict accurately the curative result of patients with brain stem hemorrhage.

A piece of news was introduced into pharmacology course examination.Students were asked to make comments on the news based on pharmacology knowledge or principles.All points of view were summarized and given back to the students after the examination. The right way to answer the question was discussed and a consensus on the answer was reached.lt was indicated that the teaching method in the trial is helpful for improvement of students' overall analytical skills.

Hypoxiaisoneofthemostimportantfactorsinfluencingcancertherapyandclinicalprogno-sis.With positron emission tomography (PET)widely adopted in clinical practice,the development and appli-cation of PET hypoxia imaging agents has been much popular in the field currently.PET hypoxia imaging can detect tumor hypoxia region noninvasively,which has important significance for optimizing cancer treatment decisions and improving the prognosis of cancer.
