Tumor 2013;33(12):1115-1119
Objective: To analyze the imaging findings, diagnosis and treatment of central neurocytoma. Methods: The clinical information of 7 cases of central neurocytoma in Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2005 to March 2013 was retrospectively analyzed. The surgical experience was summarized, and the related literatures were reviewed. Results: Of 7 cases, 3 were females and 4 were males; 6 had tumor in anterior 2/3 of the ventricle, 5 originated from septum pellucidum around monro foramen, 1 originated from lateral ventricular wall. The MRI showed that the lesions were mostly hypointense and displayed mixed signals on T1WI images, mainly hypointense and slightly hyperintense signals on T2WI images; most of neurocytomas showed heterogeneous enhancement on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI images. Six cases underwent gross total resection, 1 case underwent subtotal resection. Two cases received postoperative radiotherapy, 1 case received adjuvant chemotherapy. One case died postoperatively in hospital. Five cases were followed-up, and 1 case was lost to follow-up. The follow-up time was from 15 to 25 months. Four cases had satisfying prognosis, 1 case had hemiplegic paralysis, and no cases had recurrent tumor. Conclusion: Microneurosurgery is the best treatment for central neurocytoma, mastering the technique and key points of operation can achieve significant clinical effectiveness and improve the prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of the self-expandable metal stent for treatment of gastric outlet and duodenal obstruction.MethodsData of 24 patients with symptomatic gastric outlet and duodenal obstruction diagnosed from January 2005 to February 2011 were retrospectively studied.All patients were measured by gastric outlet obstruction scoring system ( GOOSS ) before and one week after the placement of self-expandable metal stent.ResultsStent placement was succeeded in all patients with a mean operation time of 25.90 ± 11.03 min.Twenty patients (83.3%) were able to intake liquid food after the procedure.The GOOSS (P50 =0) before and after stent placement were 0.14 (P50 =0) and 1.42( P50 =2),respectively,with significant difference (P <0.01 ).Minor digestive bleeding occurred in 3 patients,but no severe complications including perforation or aspiration were observed.ConclusionPlacement of a self-expandable metal stent in patients with gastric outlet or duodenal obstruction is safe and effective for resolving obstructive symptoms.
4.Recombinant Baculoviruses as Mammalian Cell Gene-delivery Vectors:a Review
China Biotechnology 2006;0(01):-
The baculovirus expression system has been used extensively for the expression of recombinant proteins in insect cells.Recently,recombinant baculoviruses containing mammalian cell-active promoter element have been used to transduce a broad spectrum of primary and established mammalian cells,including non-hepatic cells.Recombinant baculoviruses have been used successfully for transient or stable gene delivery in mammalian cells in vitro,while the efficiency of delivering gene in vivo is inhibited obviously by complements,but efforts have been made to overcome the problems,for instance,VSV-G-pseudotyped baculoviruses display complement resistance.The mechanism of the transduction is still not clearly understood,though many researches have been done.The baculovirus is able to replicate only in insect cells,but it is incapable of initiating replication cycle in mammalian cells,which guarantees high biosafety of this gene delivery system.In addition,this system is easily manipulated and able to carry large inserts.These attributes will undoubtedly lead to the increased application and continued development of this system for highly effective gene delivery into mammalian cells.

Objective To investigate the analysis of low calcium intravenous calcium supplementation agent and active vitamin D3 on total thyroidectomy on quality of life in patients with nodular goiter. Methods 40 cases of nodular goiter with total thyroidectomy were performed in our hospital from March 2014 to September 2016. It was randomly divided into control group and experimental group, 20 cases in each group. The patients in the control group were nodular thyroidectomy and the experimental group underwent total thyroidectomy. The quality of life of two groups of patients was evaluated by using the European five-dimensional health-related living quality scale (eq-5d). Results Two groups of patients, relevant questionnaire survey of the patient's ability to act, self-care ability, daily activity ability, pain or discomfort, anxiety, or depression, and the comparison of VAS score, according to the results of difference was not statistically significant. In comparison with ordinary people, the questionnaire survey results showed that the proportion of patients with moderate or above differences was higher and the difference was significant (P< 0.01). There was no statistical significance compared to the average person. Conclusion All patients with nodular goiter are treated with total thyroidism, and the effect is good, and the quality of life of patients is relatively small.

The thiamine and nicotinic acid content of the husked rice (whole rice) samples from 9 representative varieties of paddy collected from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces were analyzed, and the effect of degree of milling on the content of these two vitamins were studied. The paddy samples were husked with wooden mill and the husked rice samples were milled with laboratory rice mill to 5 grades, namely, "96", "94", "92", "90" and "88" percent extraction (by 96% extraction we mean 96 grams of finished rice were derived from 100 grams of husked rice), and the thiamine and nicotinic acid content of each sample were determined. It is found that the thiamine and nicotinic acid content of the rice of different variety may vary considerably, and both were decreased with the increase of degree of milling. Generally, above the "94" grade, the loss of thiamine is higher than that of nicotinic acid, while down from the "92" grade, less thiamine and more nicotinic acid were lost. The rate of decrease in nicotinic acid content is relatively irregular as compared with that of thiamine, and different varieties are affected differently by the milling process.
