Objective To study the effect of vanadium on antioxidase activity in liver microsome and mitochondrion of rats. Methods 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups, 6 experimental groups, 1 control group. The rats in experimental groups were treated with ammonium metavanadate through drinking water at the doses of 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg respectively for 20 consecutive days. The rats in control group were treated with distilled water. GSH-Px, CAT activity in liver microsome and SOD activity, MDA content in liver mitochondrion were determined. Results GSH-Px, CAT, SOD activity decreased and MDA content increased as ammonium metavanadate dosage increased. Compared with the control group, GSH-Px and CAT activity in 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg groups decreased significantly(P

[Objective]To explore the feasibility and safety of percutaneous kyphoplasty(PKP) and percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP) treating osteolytic lesions of high thoracic vertebra with metastasis by one side extrapedicular approach,and to assess the clinical result of minimally invasive technique. [Methods]In March 2008,one patient(male,59 years old) with T1~3 vertebral metastases of lung cancer diagnozed 8 months ago was selected.The symptoms included extremely severe pain in upper thoracic spine and left should.The analgesic effect was limited for more than 6 months.There was no operative option.Domestic PKP and PVP tool systems were used in local anaesthesia.Under fluoroscopic guidance,T2 and T3 vertebral augmentation were separately completed by single side extrapedicular approach PKP and PVP.Clinical results were followed up and observed.[Results]The procedure was performed smoothly.T3 and T2 vertebrae were differently treated by PKP and PVP.T1 received no treatment because of patient`s intolerance.The operative time of T3 vertebral PKP was 57 minutes.The volume of injected bone cement was 1.9ml.The operative time of T2 vertebral PVP was 49 minutes.The volume of injected bone cement was 1.5ml.Extravertebral leakage of the polymethylmethacrylate(PMMA) into the paravertebral itssue was found without clinical symptom,because osteolysis occurred in the left pedicle of T2 vertebra.There was no other complication.The patient was discharged 5 days after operation.The preoperative,2 days and 3 months postoperative follow-up VAS scores were 10,3 and 6.The patient's markedly pain could be controlled by analgesia.[Conclusion]One side approach percutaneous kyphoplasty is a safe and effective technique for treatment of high thoracic vertebral metastasis with markedly relief of pain.

PURPOSE To investigate the indications for surgical treatment of peripheral neurofibroma and the cause of postoperative recurrence.METHODS Analysis of the clinical data of 15 cases of limb neurofibroma in different locations,whichhave been operated 16 times.RESULTS Neurofibroma normally grows in two ways:along nerve cord and in plexiform.The former can be excised along tumor edge and the latter should be removed extensively.Pathological studies were performed postoperatively,and confirmed that it was neurofibroma.13 of 15 cases have been followed up on average 3.4 years.No cases had recurrence except 1 case after a half year which was reoperated and has not recurred for 8 months up to now.CONCLUSION If the patients have pain or discomfort,limb malfunction or disfigurement,operation should be done in the early stage.Different operative methods were chosen due to different types of neurofibroma.Rccurrence is related to the extent of operation

Objective To establish a method for detection of RhD(+) red blood cells mixed in D-negative blood by flow cytometry(FCM).Method RhD(+) and RhD(-) RBCs were mixed according to predefined ratios.Cells were indirectly labeled,with IgG anti-D labeled as the first antibody,and FITC-anti-IgG F(ab')2 as the second antibody.The percentage of RhD(+) RBCs was determined by FCM,and the best dosage of IgG anti-D was also defined.The ratio of red cells in the two groups,measured by FCM,was compared with the actual ratio.The consistency of method was also evaluated.Results The effective dosage of IgG anti-D was 1∶4,and 50?l/1?106 cells.When the actual percentages of RhD(+) cell among RhD(-) cells were 2.5%-0.312%,the correlation coefficient between the percentages measured by FCM and the actual percentages was 0.987.The same tubes,containing 10% and 2.5% RhD(+) RBCs,were each tested for 10 times,and their coefficient of variation were 3.4%,and 4.9%,respectively.Conclusion The method of quantifying the RhD(+) RBCs in D-negative blood by FCM is feasible and repeatable,which deserves a further clinical application.

Objective To explore the effect and experience of problem-based (PBL) teaching in neurosurgical clinical training and improve the quality of the neurosurgical clinical training. Methods 600 clinical medical students of Grade 2011 in their probation in our department of neurosurgery were chosen as the subjects of study and were randomly divided into the experimental (PBL, 15 groups, 20 people/group, over 300 people) and control groups (CBL+ LBL, 15 groups, 20 people/group, over 300 people). In experimental group, PBL which is a problem-based, student-centered and teacher-directed pedagogy was adopted. In control group, CBL (case-based learning) + LBL (lecture-based learning) were adopted. After probation, two groups of students had the unified test and assessed their teaching methods by questionnaire survey and at the same time, the questionnaire survey about PBL' impact on the various aspects was done only to experimental group students. SPSS 15.0 software was used to do statistical analysis and data were processed by description analysis, t test, Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis. Results The scores of theoretical knowledge and general ability in PBL group [(40.57 ±3.24), (41.23 ±4.56) individually] were higher than these in control group [(37.21 ±4.05), (36.51±4.11) individually]. The differences demonstrated statistically meanings. Through the surveys, the students in experimental group showed the high satisfaction (97.0%, n=291) in PBL teaching. Most of the students considered that their abilities of team cooperation (96.7%, n=290), and self-directed learning (92.7%, n=278) were improved by PBL teaching. The students in experimental group illustrated their attitudes in satisfaction of teaching; interests of clinical training, participation of teaching and understanding of knowledge were superior to the control group. The differences demonstrated statisti-cally meanings. Conclusion PBL teaching got a good effect in neurosurgical clinical training. This method, which improved students' participation and motivation of study and contributed to the training of medical students' comprehensive abilities, is suitable for modern neurosurgical clinical training.

[Methods]Surgical y and pathological y confirmed, 58 cases of suspected malignant thyroid nodules associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis were retro-spectively analyzed with clinical and pathological data. The differences of gender, age, number of nodules, calcification, and thyroid hormone and thyroid an-tibodies levels between malignant and benign nodules were compared from January 2009 to December 2011 .[Results] The average age of malignant thyroid nodules coexisting with HT group was significantly lower than that of benign nodules coexisting with HT group( P<0.05). The proportion of nodular calcifi-cation in malignant thyroid nodules coexisting with HT group was significantly higher than that in benign nodules coexisting with HT group( P<0.05). Pre-operative TSH and anti-TG levels in malignant thyroid nodules coexisting with HT group were significantly higher than that in benign nodules coexisting with HT group. Preoperative FT3, FT4, anti-TPO levels, sex ratio and number of lesions between the two groups were not statistical y significant. [Conclu-sions] The key point of preoperative diagnosis:patients of malignant thyroid nodules coexisting with HT are associated with youth, calcified nodules, elevated serum TSH and anti-TG levels.

BACKGROUND: Studies regarding synthesizing composite bone repair materials with organic macromolecules as mineralizers template are the hot research spot. However, reports concerning using agar as bone repair materials are few. OBJECTIVE: To synthesize a novel agar-hydroxyapatite composite material, and to evaluate its physical and chemical properties as well as cytocompatibility.METHODS: ①A certain amount of the non-nano-hydroxyapatite in hydrochloric acid solution was added into a certain amount of agar sol, and the reaction system was adjusted with PH value of 7-8. And then the precipitate was lyophilized to obtain the composite of agar-hydroxyapatite.②The third generation of rat bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) was co-cultured with agar-hydroxyapatite. And the growth of cells was observed at days 1, 3 and 5 after culture. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The results of X-ray diffraction patterns, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), thermal analyzer, transmission electron microscope, and scanning electron microscope showed that agar could manipulate the growth of hydroxyapatite, and hydroxyapatite nanocrystals was equably formed on the agar-fibers with high porosity. The BMSC grew well in the composite and form a clear cytoskeletal at days 3 and 5 after culture. The results reveal that agar-hydroxyapatite composite has good physical and chemical properties and cytocompatibility.
