Objective To compare the value for predicting prognosis between ENETS and AJCC TNM staging system in G-NEC patients.Methods Clinical data of 28 G-NEC cases from January 2005 to September 2015 in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were analyzed and follow-up data were staged by he ENETS and AJCC TNM staging system.The survival curves were drawn using Kaplan-Meier method.Univariate analysis was performed by Log-rank test.Results Evaluated by ENETS TNM staging system on these 28 G-NEC patients,5 cases (18％) were classified at stage Ⅱ,20 cases (71％) were at stage Ⅲ,3 cases (11％) at stage Ⅳ,and significant difference in survival time was found between the three stages (P ＜ 0.05).By the AJCC TNM staging system,1 case (4％) was classified at stage Ⅱ,24 cases (86％) were at stage Ⅲ,and 3 cases (11％) at stage Ⅳ,and significant difference in survival time was found between three stages.Conclusions AJCC TNM staging system is more valuable for predicting prognosis of G-NEC,while the ENETS TNM staging system is more accurate in evaluating G-NEC biologic behavior.

BACKGROUND: The reaction of osteoblasts is important role in the reconstruction of osteocytes, and the mechanism of bone remodeling can be known from the cytological level through analyzing the mechanical reaction of osteoblasts under different loading.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of low frequency vibration on the proliferation and differentiation as well as the matrix excretion of cultured human osteoblasts.DESIGN: A comparative observation.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the laboratory of Nanfang Hospital from January to December in 2002. Human osteoblasts were isolated from the iliac cancellous bone of adults.METHODS: The osteoblasts were cultured for 48 hours, and then treated with low frequency vibration of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 2 and 5 Hz. The proliferation of the osteoblasts was detected with flow cytometry, and the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and content of osteocalcin were assayed by spectrophotometric methods and radioimmunoassay respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Effects of low frequency vibration on the ALP activity and osteocalcin excretion of osteoblasts; ② Effects of low frequency vibration on the proliferation of osteoblasts detected with flow cytometry.RESULTS: ① 0.2 and 0.5 Hz vibrations could markedly increase the ALP activity of osteoblast (P ＜ 0.01), but that of 5 Hz obviously decreased the ALP activity (P ＜ 0.01). 0.1 and 2 Hz vibrations had no obvious effects on the ALP activity of osteoblasts. ② 0.2 and 0.5 Hz vibration could significantly increase number of osteoblasts at S phase from 10.4% to 12.45% and 16.12%, and the proliferative index increased from 20.14% to 26.21% and 28.75%; 0.1 and 2 Hz vibration has not obvious effects in osteoblast proliferation index; 5 Hz vibration obviously decreased the proliferative index value to 13.22% (P ＜ 0.05). 0.1 and 2 Hz vibrations had no obvious effects on the proliferative index of osteoblasts (P ＞ 0.05). ③ 0.2 and 0.5 Hz vibrations could obviously increase the amount of osteocalcin excretion to 1.87 μg/L and 2.47 μg/L(P ＜ 0.05), but 2 and 5 Hz vibrations decrease the amount of osteocalcin excretion (P ＜ 0.05), and that of 0.1 Hz had no obvious effect on amount of osteocalcin excretion (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: Low frequency vibrations of 0.2-0.5 Hz could accelerate the proliferation and differentiation as well as the excretions of active materials of osteoblasts, and it plays an instructive role for low frequency vibration to treat fracture.

AIM: To observe the curative effect of titanium wiring in treatment of the fractures of Neer Ⅱ type distal clavicle and dislocation of Tossy Ⅲ type acromioclavicular joint. METHODS: From March 2004 to December 2006, 37 cases with Neer Ⅱ type distal clavicle fractures or Tossy Ⅲ type acromioclavicular joint dislocation were treated with titanium wiring in Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA. Titanium wiring (produced by Sofamor-Danek Company in USA) had good histocompatibility, intensity of tension and flexibility. The broken coracoclavicular ligament was repaired directly by titanium wiring in all cases. The outcomes were evaluated according to Herscovici's criteria. RESULTS: All the cases were followed up for 6 to 24 months. All the dislocated acromioclavicular joints returned to normal 2 weeks after operation. Excellent and good rate of shoulder function was 100% according to Herscovici standard. X-ray imaging showed all clavicle fractures united, acromioclavicular joint had no redislocation or titanium wiring breaking. The incisions of all cases had no obvious swelling and exudation. CONCLUSION: When Neer Ⅱ type distal clavicular fracture and Tossy Ⅲ type acromioclavicular joint dislocation are treated with titanium wiring, the acromioclavicular joint can exercise earlier and recover quickly.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Smad3 and Smad7 in patients with ulcerative colitis(UC)and their relation with clinicopathology.Methods The expressions of Smad3 and Smad7 were measured by immunohistochemistry with SABC method in 60 UC specimens and 16 normal colonic tissues.The association of expressions of Smad3 and Smad7 proteins with clinical staging,lesion extent and pathologic grading were retrospectively analyzed.Results The expression of Smad3 was significantly lower in UC patients than in normal controls(P＜0.05),however,there was no relation between Smad3 expression and lesion extent(P＞0.05).There was a negative correlation between the expression of Smad3 and histological grade(r=-0.283,P＜0.05).The expression of Smad7 was significantly higher in UC patients than in normal controls,and its expression in active disease was higher than that in clinical remission(Z=2.097,P=0.036).There was a positive correlation between the expression of Smad7 and histological grade(r_s=0.453,P=0.000),and no relation between Smad7 expression and lesion extent(r_s=0.066,P=0.614).The statistical analysis showed a negative correlation between Smad3 expression and Smad7 expression(r=-0.420,P＜0.05).Conclusion The abnormal expressions of Smad3 and Smad7 are correlated with pathogenesis of UC.Furthermore.Smad7 may serve as marker for disease activity of UC.

BACKGROUND: Allergic airway inflammation (AAI) is the pathological basis of pathogenesis of asthma. Manghua decoction, from Zhang Zhongjing's "On cold damage", is the basic recipe for treating asthma, its addminus recipe is widely used in clinic now.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of mahuang decoction on allergic airway inflammation in asthmatic mouse.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation SETTING: Staff Room of Internal Medicine, Department of Clinical Medicine, Guangdong University of Pharmacy.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in the Animal Laboratory of Guangdong College of Pharmacy and Laboratory of Pathology, Guangdong University of Pharmacy from March 2003 to February 2004. Totally 36 mice were recruited.METHODS: Mice were randomly divided into normal control group, asthma group and treatment group, with 12 in each one. The mice in the control group were given intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 mL of normal saline on day 1,7,14 and 21 separately. From 28th day, the mice were given intragastric administration of normal saline of 0.5 mL for 60 minutes followed by water spray(only normal saline ) for 30 minutes , for consecutive 7 days.The mice in the asthma group were given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline of 0.2 mL containing egg albumin (10 μg) and aluminium hydroxide (20 mg) on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 separately. From 28th day, the mice were given intragastric administration of normal saline of 0.5 mL for 60 minutes followed by water spray (normal saline containing egg albumin of 50 g/L) for 30 minutes, for consecutive 7 days. Sensitization and stimulati on of the mice in the treatment group were the same as that in the asthma group. Intragastric administration of mahuang decoction of 0.5 mL was performed 60 minutes before spray. The procedure was conducted for consecutive 7 days. The pathologic change and the lung tissues expression of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ) of the mice in each group were analyzed with hamatoxylin-eosin staining and immunohistochemical staining.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of airway infiltration cells and lung tissue IFN-γand IL-4 of the mice in each group RESULTS: Totally 36 mice entered the stage of result analysis with no loss in the midway. ① Inflammation of the mice relieved obviously in the treatment group than in the asthma group, and the number of the inflammatory cells in or around bronchi of the mice was significantly less in the treatment group than in the asthma group . ② The number of IL-4 and IFN-γ was significantly increased in the asthma group than in the normal control group, among which , the number of IL-4 was more significant, and the ratio of IFN-γ / IL-4 was decreased. However, the number of IL-4 on the treatment group was significantly decreased, and that of IFN-γ was remarkably increased , and the ratio of IFN-γ / IL-4 was significantly increased as compared with that in the asthma group.CONCLUSION: Asthmatic mice might exist the disequilibrium of Th1/Th2 subgroup. Mahuang decoction can improve the inflammation of bronchus,regulate the ratio of Th1/Th2, which might be one of the mechanism for treatment of asthma.

Objective To investigate the application of ultrasound localization during craniocerebral operations. Methods Thirty-one cases with intracranial space occupying lesion were surgically treated with guidance of ultrasound, which was applied to real-time localization while revealing skull, tracing during operation and evaluation of the operation's effect before locking up the skull. Results In our group, 31 cases were checked using ultrasound localization during operation. Ultrasound could level the lesion's size and position, which was in accordance with the result of CT and MRI before operation. With the application of ultrasound localization, the lesion could be probed exactly. Conclusions Ultrasound localization during operation is simple, effective and secure, and is helpful to enhance the accuracy of the craniocerebral operations, reduce the blindly exploration, shorten the operation time, and what is more important, reduce unnecessary tissue damage of normal brain tissue, which obviously possess much clinical utilization.

Objective To study change of the declarative memory in patients with the calcification of the pallidum.Method The Chinese version of Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS-RC)test and dmwing forgetting curve were applied in 30 patients and 30 normal controls.Results There was no differences in the WMS-CR test's scores between the two groups.The patients had poorly memory preservation rate at the delays of 2 hours((64.10±0.87)%Vs(44.83±1.57)%,P<0.01),despite normal memory preservation rate over 30 mins and the similar slope after the delays of l day in the forgetting curve.There were negative correlations between the size of calcification and the memory preservation rate at the delays of 2 hours and 9 hours(r=-0.743,r=-0.483.P<0.01).Conclusion The results may reflect the effect of the pallidum on"slower confiolidation"declamtive memory process which aroused by a consequence of the repeated firing of hippocampal-neocortieal connections while the patients have normal memory encoding and retrieval.
