Objective To investigate the effect of corpectomy decompression by subtotal vertebrectomy and fusion of adjacent segmental artificial disc replacement through anterior intervertenral spance (Hybrid Surgery) in the anteriorcervical spondylotic myelopathy treatment . Methods Hybrid Surgery were operated on 18 patients who suffered from anterior cervi?cal spondylotic myelopathy . Follow up of 1-50 months. Patient’s conditions were assessed according to the Japanese Associ?ation for Department of orthopedics assessment score (JOA score) before and after operation. Effects of Hybrid operation were assessed by the improvement of JOA score, Odom’s follow-up grade and cervical mobility . Results The JOA scores of all 18 operated patients were improved from 10.6 ± 1.7 before operation to 13.5 ± 2.4 after operation. And the difference is statistically significant (t=1.314, P < 0.05). Among all the operated patients, 16 were cured and 2 were effective. As to Odom’s follow up grades, 6 cases were excellent, 11 cases were good and 1 case was acceptable. The postoperative move?ment range of cervical spine (40.1° ± 8.4°) show no statistically difference compared with that in preoperation (42.6° ± 11.9°) (t=0.68, P > 0.05). Conclusion Hybrid Surgery of anterior cervical decompression and fusion can both improve the nerve function and preserve cervical mobility.

Objective:To virtual screen the active ingredient of Shenmai injection in treatment of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia and discuss the potential mechanism based on network pharmacology and high throughput molecular docking. Methods:Based on network pharmacology and high-throughput molecular docking technology, the compounds and predicted targets of Shenmai injection were retrieved from TCMSP, BATMAN-TCM and Targetnet databases, and the composition target map was constructed. The genes related to coronavirus pneumonia were retrieved from OMIM and GeneCards databases, and the PPI network between target genes was constructed by searching the common parts of target genes; David 6.8 was used to analyze gene function and pathway enrichment, and PDB database was used to obtain protein crystal structure, and Autodock Vina and python scripts were used for high-throughput molecular docking. Results:A total of 27 compounds and 224 target genes were obtained. 15 core components and 15 core targets for the treatment of coronavirus pneumonia were identified: CASP3, NOS2, PARP1, CASP8, NOS3, BCL2, ADA, OPRM1, TGFB1, TLR9, ACHE, SLC29A1, BAX, ADK, and PNP. The enrichment analysis showed that the core targets acted on the signaling pathways such as Tuberculosis, Pathways in cancer, Hepatitis B and Apoptosis. The better components of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia related targets were diosgenin, stigmasterol, beta-sitosterol and ginsenoside Rh1_qt obtained by virtual screening.Conclusion:This study screened out the active ingredient and tarket of Shenmai Injection in treatment of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia. It laid a foundation for the further clinical application of Shenmai injection and development of novel coronavirus pneumonia drugs.

Objective To compare the Chinese'92 and 2008 staging systems of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) based on the long term survival of the patients. Methods Clinical data of 498 NPC patients treated with definitive IMRT were retrospectively analyzed. The distributions of patients in the two staging systems were compared. The long term outcomes according to T, N and overall stages in each system were evaluated. Kappa value and Pearson coefficient were used to evaluate the agreement and correlation of the two systems. Results The distributions of both T and N stage between'92 and 2008 stage systems were different. In both staging systems, the local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) curves of T_1, T_2 andT_3 were close up (even overlaped), though they were apart from T_4. The distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) curves overlaped of N_1 and N_2 in the'92 staging system, while separated of N_1, N_2 and N_3 in the 2008 staging system. Significant difference of DMFS was not found between N, and N_2 in'92 staging system, while did exist among N_0, N_1, N_2 and N_3 stages in 2008 staging system. In the both staging systems, the disease-specific survival (DSS) of stage Ⅰ did not significantly differ from that of stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ. The statistical analysis showed the conformality of DSS curves in the two system was 89% (Kappa =0. 833 ,P <0.01), with agood relative rate (r=0. 919,P<0. 01). Conclusions The difference between'92 and 2008 staging system is mainly in N stage. The 2008 N stage seems more reasonable compared with'92 N stage, which is able to better forecast the DMFS. There are some agreements and correlations between the two staging systems.

Objective To investigate the tendency of quality of life in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treated with conventional radiotherapy. Methods Quality of life in NPC patients was assessed using FACT-H&N and NPC-QOL Patients were divided into nine groups according to the treatment period :before treatment group, 0 -20 Gy group, 20 -50 Gy group, > 50 Gy group, 0 -6 months after treatment group, 6 - 12 mouths group, 1 -2 years group, 2 -3 years group and 3 -5 years group. Scores of FACT-H&N and NPC-QOL were compared between the either two groups. Results 450 NPC patients were assessed. The total score of FACT-H&N decreased during the treatment and then increased six months after the treatment. The tendencies of physical and functional well-being were similar. The social/family and emotional well-being did not change significantly along with the treatment but the scores of head and neck well-being and NPC-QOL decreased obviously. Xerotomia was aggravated from the initiation of treatment and became the most severe at 6 - 12 months after treatment. 50% - 60% of the patients with disease-free reported severe xerotomia at 3 -5 years after radiotherapy. Incidence of severe trismus increased up to 14% at 3 -5 years after treatment. Conclusions Quality of life of NPC patients with conventional radiotherapy deteriorates during the treatment period, but recovers to the normal level six months after the treatment. Xerotomia and trismus can affect the quality of life of NPC patients.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes and toxicities of early stage nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC)patients treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)alone. Methods From February 2001 to January 2008, 198 early stage NPC patients according to AJCC/UICC 2002 staging system were treated by radical radiotherapy with IMRT technique in our institute, the clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Results The 5-year disease-specific survival, local recurrence-free survival(LRFS)and distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS)were 97.3%, 97.7% and 97. 8% respectively. The 5-year LRFS for T1, T2 patients were 100%, 96. 7%(x2 = 2. 24 ,P = 0. 135)respectively. The 5-year DMFS for T1 N0,T2N0, T1N1, and T2N1 patients were 100%, 98. 8%, 100% and 93. 8%(x2= 2. 35, P= 0. 125)respectively. Grade 1 and 2 mucositis and pharyngitis were most common acute toxicities. Radiation encephalopathy and cranial nerve injury were not observed in all patients. Conclusions IMRT alone for early stage NPC patients can produce satisfactory results and acceptable treatment-relative toxicities. Patients with T2b and T2bN1 had a relatively higher incidence of local recurrence and distant metastasis, which suggested that combination of IMRT and chemotherapy may improve clinical results in those patients.

Objective To establish an isolation method for solid GTC in peripheral blood using EpCAM antibody-linked nanobeads and evaluate the sensitivity of the method and its application significance. Methods Five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred MCF7 (breast cancer), KYSE70 (esophageal cancer), BxPC-3 (pancreatic cancer) and 9811P (stomach cancer) cells were added into 7. 5 ml erythrocyte lysed peripheral blood obtained from healthy volunteers respectively. EpCAM antibodylinked nanobeads were used to enrich cancer cells. The recovery rates of the in vitro added cancer cells were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. Then, the untreated thirty cases of esophageal cancer (six cases at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, twenty-four cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), thirty-five cases of breast cancer (fifteen cases at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ , twenty cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), thirty cases of pancreatic cancer (five cases at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ , twenty-five cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), thirty-three gastric cancer (thirteen cases for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ ,twenty cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ) were enrolled to enrich the peripheral blood CTC. Thirty healthy volunteers and thirty gastritis patients served as two groups of control. Meanwhile the enriched CTC was identified by IF and HE staining. FISH was used to analyze the copy number of chromosome 8 and chromosome 20 in two hundred esophageal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic caner and gastric cancer CTC. Results After DAPI staining and mixing with 7.5 ml peripheral blood from healthy donors, the average cell recovery rates of KYSE70, MCF7, BxPC-3 and 9811P cells evaluated under fluorescence microscope were 87%, 87%, 86% and 88% (within group), and the recovery rates of 5 gradient dilution levels were 88%, 85%, 87%, 88% and 87% (intergroup). With a high sensitivity, this method was able to isolate one cancer cell in 107 white blood cells of peripheral blood. The positive rates of more than 2 CTC in the peripheral blood detected by this method were 50% (15/30) of esophageal cancer, 63% (22/35) of breast cancer, 70% (21/30) of pancreatic cancer and 61% (20/33) gastric cancer patients respectively,but no CTC was detected in the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers and gastritis patients (P = 0. 000).The aneusomy of chromosome 8 and chromosome 20 were found in 80% esophageal cancer, 75% breast cancer, 65% pancreatic cancer and 59% gastric cancer. Conclusions The CTC isolation technique with EpCAM antibody-linked nanobeads is sensitive and accurate. The aneusomy of chromosome 8 and 20 is frequent in CTC from esophageal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer.
