Primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) is a kind of malignant tumor, which most often affects children and adolescents. The incidence of PNET has risen recently. PNET has low early diagnosis rate and poor treatment effect. With the application of RT-PCR and FISH in pathological diagnosis, and MRI and PET-CT in imageological diagnosis, as well as the implementation of target treatment and multidisciplinary integrated treatment concept in the treatment, the pathogenesis, diagnosis technology and treatment means of of PNET have made remarkable progress.

Platelets, small pieces of cytoplasm with biological activity, split and fall off the megakaryocytes and mature from the bone marrow. After stimulated, platelets produce nitric oxide to inhibit their own activation and aggregation. Pathologically, the injury of endothelial cells activates platelets and changes their functions. The release of inflammatory mediators and cytokines induces and enhances the development and progression of atherosclerosis, and thereby promotes the occurrence of erectile dysfunction. Besides, platelets and their related functional parameters may serve as important indicators in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Objective To explore the clinical value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in the diagnosis of cardiac neoplasm.Methods Between January 2007 and December 2011,18F-FDG PET/CT was performed in 8649 patients in our hospital,and 14 (0.16％ ; 11 males,3 females,average age 46.9 (35-68) years) patients were diagnosed with cardiac neoplasm.18F-FDG PET/CT data of those 14 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Final diagnoses were confirmed by either histopathology (n =5) or follow-up (n =9).Results Accurate tumor localization and diagnoses were made by 18 F-FDG PET/CT in all 14 patients.Among them,13 were malignant (2(14.3％,2/14) primary and 11(78.6％,11/14) metastatic tumors (8 HCC,2 lung cancer,1 esophageal cancer) ; SUVmax 3.2-10.7) and 1 (7.1％,1/14) was benign (myxoma).Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT is useful for the detection and staging of primary malignant and metastatic cardiac neoplasms.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of cell free fetal DNA(cffDNA)-based noninvasive prenatal diagnosis,we developed a precise technique for fetal sex determining region of Y chromosome(SRY)gene detection using size-fractionated cell-free DNA in maternal plasma.Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected form 117 pregnant women.cffDNA was extracted based on a column absorbent method and isolated by agarose gel electrophoresis.A dulex-polymerase chain reaction(PCR)was used to detected SRY gene and glycerol-dehyde-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH)gene.Results Both SRY and GAPDH gene were detected in 86 cffDNA samples from women bearing male fetuses.And only GAPDH gene was detected in 71 cffDNA samples from women bearing female fetuses.These results had a coincidence whit those of villus or amniotic fluid samples.The specificity and sensitivity reached 100%(117/117)and 100%(66/66),respectively.Conclusion By agarose gel electrophoresis,re-extratedand and dulex PCR,size-fractionated cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma can be selective enriched and used to noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of sex-linked disorders and single gene disorders.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the ankle-brachial index (ABI)and the extent of coronary artery stenosis and the left ventricular function in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD)with metabolism syndrome (MS). Methods A total of 140 patients with coronary artery disease was study subjects. In which, 66 cases complicated MS (MS group), 74 cases without MS (non MS group). ABI and the left ventricular function was examined in an patients. Results ABI was 0.90±0.32 in MS group, and 1.03±0.26 in non MS group, there was significant difference between two groups(P=0.015). Compared with non MS group, significant lower ratio of ABI in MS group [43.9%(29/66) vs 27.0%(20/74)] (P=0.038); whereas much more 3-vessel disease in ABI≤0.9 patients compared with those of ABI > 0.9 patients [86.3%(25/29) vs 37.8%(14/37) ], significant lower of the left ventricular function in ABI≤0.9 patients compared with those of ABI >0.9 patients (P<0.05). Conclusion There is more severe of coronary artery stenosis in ABI≤0.9 patients for CHD with MS, more attention should be payed to CHD patients combined with MS.

BACKGROUND:Non-hematopoietic cell of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or mesenchymal progenitor cells can differentiate into bone,cartilage,muscle,tendon,fat and bone marrow matrix in vivo and in vitro,thus becoming very valuable seed cells source in the field of tissue engineering.OBJECTIVE:To construct the tissue engineered tendon withⅠcollagen-polyglycolic acid as a scaffold and bone marrow MSCs as seed cells,and to observe the effect of tissue engineered tendon on repairing achilles tendon defects. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Randomized controlled animal experiment was performed in the Xiangya Medical College of Central South University in 2003.MATERIALS:Healthy adult rabbits,irrespective of genders,weighing 1.5-2.5 kg,were offered by Animal Center of Xiangya Medical College,Central South University. Polyglycolic acid were purchased from Shandong Weigao Group Kanglida Medical Products Co.,Ltd (KLD Medical).SD rats were sourced from Department of Experimental Animals,Central South University.METHODS:Rabbit bone marrow was extracted to harvest MSCs with centrrfugation and adherence method,then bone marrow MSCs were isolated and amplified. Tail tendon was extracted from SD rats and prepared into type Ⅰ collagen solution,which was mixed and suture cultured with polyglycolic acid to construct collagen-polyglycolic acid scaffold. Other bone marrow MSCs,which were not induced in vitro,were incubated on collagen-polyglycolic acid scaffold to construct tissue engineered rabbit tendon models,with those without cells serving as controls. Thirty rabbit angle skins were cut open to separate tendon and produce a 3-cm defect. Fifteen rats in the experiment group was repaired with tissue engineered tendon,which was previously prepared with autologous bone marrow MSCs,while fifteen rats in the control group was given Ⅰ collagen-polyglycolic acid scaffold.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Effect of tissue engineered tendon on repairing achilles tendon defects in rabbit.RESULTS:No matter whether contains autologous bone marrow MSCs,type I collagen-polyglycolic acid scaffold transplanted into animals exhibited column gel shape by general observation. At 4 weeks following transplantation,cordlike tissues were seen in the transplantation site,polyglycolic acid suture was degraded. At 8 weeks,the tissue engineered tendon tissues were cordlike shaped,white,lustrous and dense. They were well connected with receptor tendon tissues in the experiment group,without adhesion to peripheral tissues. In the control group,the tissues were slender and adhered to peripheral tissues. CONCLUSION:Using typeⅠ collagen-polyglycolic acid as a scaffold and bone marrow MSCs as seed cells,tissue engineered tendon can dramatically promote the repair of achilles tendon defects.
