To investigate the effect of semi-joint prosthesis replacement in treating osteosarcoma around the knee joint,15 children with osteosarcoma around the knee joint underwent semi-joint prostheses replacement and removal of the section with tumor from October 1998 to July 2006.Imageology showed that tumor of 9 children was located at the distal femur,and 6 cases at the proximal tibia.The pathologic changes involved the upper segment of the tibia 9-11 cm in length.All the children had been diagnosed with osteosarcoma by pathological examination,which was graded as stage Ⅱ a according to Enneking staging system.All the patients underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy preoperatively for 1-2 courses.The size of prosthesis was determined based on preoperative X-ray,CT and MRI.The length of the prosthesis should be 1.0-2.0 cm longer than that of the excised bone.Patellar and collateral ligaments were reconstructed in the artificial semi-knee joint prosthesis.All the 15 patients had a successful semi-joint prosthesis replacement.During the follow-up of 2 to 6 years,body height of the children increases by 4-6 cm,and the affected limbs shortened 1-3 cm.All children could live and study normally.There were 7 excellent,5 good,2 fine and 1 poor according to Enneking evaluation system.The semi-joint prosthesis replacement in the limb salvage surgery for child osteosarcoma around the knee joint can reconstruct knee joint function,remain normal osteoepiphysis,minimize affected limb crispation after operation,and create the condition for total knee replacement in adults.

Objective To study the value of CT lymphography (CT-LG) in evaluating axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) of rabbit with breast cancer using 3D and curved planar reformation (CPR).Methods CT-LG examinations were completed on the VX2 rabbit models bearing breast cancer established by tumor tissue mass suspension injection.All raw data were transferred to a postprocessing workstation, then the 3D and CPR were used to show lymphatic vessel and lymph nodes.On the CT-LG images, one or several lymph nodes displayed firstly in the lymphatic drainage pathway was defined as the SLN which was then confirmed by the biopsy.Results (1) 20 rabbits bearing tumor underwnet CT-LG examinations, and both SLNs and draining lymphatic vessels were detected using 3D and CPR techniques.70% (14/20) of experimental rabbits had fine images, and 16 SLNs and 7 non-SLNs were demonstrated on 14 rabbits on CT-LG images with good quality.(2) 8 continuous lymphatic vessels displayed well, exhibiting a homogeneous and continuous tube with uniform contrast-medium filling on CPR images.Most lymphatic vessels demonstrated well, and the 14 vessels with local interrupt or fuzzy on 3D images showed continuous tubular contrast-filling with heterogeneous high-density on the CPR images from the injection sites to axillary SLN.Among 6 rabbits with poor images, 3 rabbits showed the SLN but without lymphatic vessels on 3D images, 2 showed only initial segment of lymphatic vessel,and 1 had no lymphatic vessel and SLN.(3) A total 24 SLNs were obtained by SLNB,including 18 metastatic SLNs and 6 negative ones.On CT-LG images, there were statistical differences between the metastatic and negative SLNs in the maximum diameter and filling defect (P=0.041 and P=0.001, respectively).However, the short diameter, shape and margin of SLNs had no statistical differences between the two groups (all P>0.05).Conclusion On CT-LG examinations, 3D and CPR images may show axillary SLNs and lymphatic vessels effectively,and CPR can demonstrate more details than 3D.The maximum diameter and fillingdefect of SLN are helpful for distinguishing metastatic and negative SLNs.

Objective To know about the post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) of women with termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies (TOPFA),and investigate the relationship of PTSD and the big five personality traits.Methods The general questionnaire,the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Big Five Questionnaire were administered to the women with TOPFA in hospital from February 2014 to February 2015.Results The total score of IES-R of 84 cases was 26.20 ± 16.38.The scores of 49 cases(58.3％) were more than 19 and that of 20 cases (23.8％) more than 35.Women who had the first pregnancy had higher level of arousal symptoms,12.84±7.41 vs.9.65±5.53 (t =2.25,P ＜ 0.05).Women whose scores were above 19 had lower adaptation,sociality,altruism and conscience compared with those scored ≤ 19,14.96±3.29,16.84±3.00,18.55±3.49,17.57±2.99 vs.13.57±2.82,18.31±2.65,20.03±2.32,18.86±2.21,t=2.02-2.33,P ＜ 0.05.The IES-R score had no linear correlation with that of the big five personalities,and intrusion subscale had linear correlation with the adaptation.Avoidance symptoms had low positive relationship with sociality in women whose IES-R were above 19,r =0.23,P ＜ 0.05.In populations whose IES-R scored above 19,avoidance subscale had positive weak correlation with sociality,r=0.31,P ＜0.05.Conclusions The women with TOPFA had high level of PTSD before termination.Women with sever posttraumatic stress symptoms had lower sociality and altruism.Moreover,of the women who had sever posttraumatic stress symptoms,one with higher sociality always had higher avoidance symptoms.

Objective To evaluate the value of MSCT in the diagnosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.Methods The MSCT appearances of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma confirmed by pathology in 27 cases were analyzed retrospectively.Among them,20 patients underwent plain and four-phase dynamic contrast-enhanced CT scans including early arterial phase,late arterial phase,portal phase and delay phase,7 patients only underwent contrast-enhanced CT scans.Results 15 lesions were located in the hilar and 12 lesions were located in the common bile duct.CT features of cholangiocarcinomas in this group were varied with its position and growth pattern.Besides the direct sign such as delay enhancement,the indirect findings were also specific such as hepatic lobe atrophy,dilated bile duct,etc.Conclusion MSCT is of great value in diagnosis of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

Purpose To explore the relationship between the change of space anterior to right portal vein and the pathological staging in liver ifbrosis/cirrhosis. Materials and Methods Plain and contrast enhanced CT scan were performed in patients with biopsy proven liver ifbrosis/cirrhosis including S1 in 17 patients, S2 in 13 patients, S3 in 15 patients, S4 in 21 patients and cirrhosis in 22 patients. Twenty subjects were included as control group. The width of anterior space of right portal vein was measured on contrast enhanced CT and correlated with ifbrosis staging. The receiver operating characteristic curve was created for cirrhosis diagnosis. Results The width of anterior space of right portal vein enlarged in patients with S3 ifbrosis to cirrhosis (P<0.05 or P<0.01). It was signiifcantly bigger in group S4 compared to other groups (P<0.01). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed significant positive correlation between the width of anterior space and liver fibrosis staging (r=0.704, P<0.01). ROC curve analysis showed the area under curve (AUC) of 0.897 with the optimum width of ≥10 mm. Conclusion The change in the space anterior to the right portal vein is positively correlated with live ifbrosis staging. CT measurement helps early diagnose and assess the severity of liver ifbrosis and cirrhosis.

Objective To observe the value of one-step spectral imaging and perfusion imaging in diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodule(SPN).Methods Forty-seven patients with SPN proved by pathology underwent perfusion scan with gemstone spectral ima-ging mode,who were divided into malignant group in 28 patients and benign one in 1 9.The parameters of CT perfusion including blood volume (BV),blood flow (BF),mean transit time (MTT)and permeability surface (PS)were analyzed.Iodine concentration (IC),normalized iodine concentration (NIC)and slope rate of spectral curve in both arterial phase and venous phase were measured and calculated.The independent sample t test was performed to compare quantitative parameters between malignant and benign SPN.Results BF,BV and PS of malignant SPN were higher than those of benign ones (P <0.05).No statistically significantly differences between malignant and benign SPN were found (P >0.05).IC,NIC and slope rate of spectral curve in malignant SPN were higher than those in benign ones in both phases (P <0.05).Conclusion One-step spectral imaging and perfusion imaging can provide more parameters,which is helpful for the diagnosis of SPN.

Background and purpose: Short tandem repeats (STR) multiplex PCR fluorescence detection technology is the most widely used DNA technology in individual identity and genetic identification. It's the most direct method to obtain accurate conclusions. However, some studies have indicated that the rate of STR mutations in tumor tissue is significantly higher than that in normal tissues or blood. This study aimed to investigate the tendency of genetic instability in 20 STR loci on autosomal and Amel loci in tumor tissue samples from lung cancer. Methods: This study, collected 75 cases of human lung cancer tissues and the adjacent normal tissues. DNA samples were extracted by tissue DNA extraction kit, amplified using MicroreaderTM 21 Direct ID System PCR amplification kit. Capillary electrophoresis was performed using API 3130 analyzer, and results were analyzed by genetic analysis software (Gene Mapper ID V3.2). Results: STR alterations were detected in 24 specimens from 75 lung cancer tissues (32%). Fifty-five alterations were detected in the frequently used 21 STR loci in total, including additional alleles 10 times, loss of heterozygosity 10 times, partial loss of heterozygosity 35 times. Partial loss of heterozygosity was the most common genetic alteration types accounting for 63.64% of the total alteration frequency. And multiple genetic alteration types could occur in the same lung cancer tissue. Among them, the highest alteration frequency occurred on D5S818 (7 times), secondly on D3S1358 and D12S391 (both 5 times), and no alterations on D2S441 and Penta E. Combining the experimental results and analysis on clinical data, this study found the statistical differences between the staging of lung cancer and the age of the patients with the STR loci alterations (P<0.05). However, the alterations did have much relationship with the classification of lung cancer and the patient's gender (P>0.05). Conclusion: STR loci of the lung cancer tissue were not stable, and the alteration occurred in the aged or high malignant degree lung cancer tissue more frequently. Meanwhile, no alteration was detected on D2S441 and Penta E. In the future research the two STR loci should be verified to determine whether they can be used as the stable STR loci in such cases by increasing the sample size.
