Cancer cell exfoliation,invasion and entry into circulation system is the early event with metastasis,which provide the possibility to formation of clinical metastase.Further research about the circulating cancer cells can help us to understand the mechanism of metastasis and offer the scientific proof against anti-metastasis.The detection of circulating tumor cells and clinical significance were reviewed.

Objective To analyze the relationship between cervical lordosis and the development of dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery.Methods From June 2007 to May 2010,data of 172 successive patients who had undergone ACDF operation in our hospital were reviewed in this study.The presence and duration of postoperative dysphagia were recorded via face-to-face questioning or telephone interview at least one year after the procedure.Plain cervical radiographs before and after surgery were collected.The C2-7 angle was measured.The change of C2-7 angle was defined as dC2-7 angle=postoperative C2-7-preoperative C2-7 angle.The correlation between postoperative dysphagia and dC2-7 angle was studied.Results There were 22 patients in dysphagia group,including 17 males and 5 females.Their age ranged from 25 to 70 years old,and average was 47.7±5.4.The average of BMI was 25.0±2.9 kg/m2.150 patients were in non-dysphagia group,including 101 males and 49 females.Their age ranged from 18 to 72 years old,and average age was 49.2±4.8.The average of BMI was 24.4±3.4 kg/m2.There was no statistical difference in gender,age,and BMI between two groups.The dC2-7 angle of dysphagia group ranged from-1 °-20.5°,and average was 8.6°±4.0°.The dC2-7 angle of non-dysphagia group ranged from-13°-28.5°,and average was 5.0°±4.3°.There was significant difference in dC2 7 angle between dysphagia and non-dysphagia group.Spearman Analysis revealed that there was strong correlativity between dC2-7 angle and postoperative dysphagia.When dC2-7 angle was greater than 5°,the chance of developing postoperative dysphagia significantly increased (19.3％ [17/88] vs 6.0％ [5/84]).What's more,Spearman Analysis also revealed that there was no correlativity between dC2 7 angle and degree of operative dysphagia.There was no significant difference in gender,age,and BMI between dysphagia and non-dysphagia group.There was no statistical difference in operative time,blood loss revision surgery,revision surgery ratio,most cephalic operative level and number of operative levels between dysphagia with non-dysphagia group.Logistic regression model showed that an increased likelihood of postoperative dysphagia persists with increasing dC2-7 angle,but had no relationship with operative time,blood loss,revision surgery,most cephalic operative level and number of operative levels.Conclusion dC2-7 angle may play an important role in the development of postoperative dysphagia.We found no statistical difference in operative time,blood loss revision surgery,revision surgery ratio,most cephalic operative level and number of operative levels between dysphagia and non-dysphagia group.Intraoperative measurement of the dC2-7 angle is practical and essential for reducing the postoperative dysphagia.

Objective To evaluate the mid-term tollow-up results of cervical artificial disc replacement (CADR) for cervical degenerative disc disease,and to explore whether it can reduce the occurrence of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD).Methods A prospective comparative study of 93 patients who underwent CADR or anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) for cervical degenerative disc disease were conducted.All patients were followed up for more than 6 years.The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score,neck disability index (NDI),Odom's scale,X-rays and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to evaluate the clinical and radiologic results.Results Twenty eight patients who underwent CADR and 35 patients who underwent ACDF had complete follow-up data.At final follow-up,the JOA score and NDI improved significantly in both groups.Between the two groups,there was no significant difference in terms of JOA score,NDI and Odom's scale.The sagittal alignment was well maintained in both groups.The total cervical spine range of motion (ROM) had no significant change for the CADR group,whereas,it significantly decreased for the ACDF group.The ROM at the replacement level of CADR patients decreased from 9.5° ± 3.7° before operation to 7.0° ± 3.0° 3 months after operation,and it was maintained to 6.6° ± 4.1° at final follow-up without significant decrease.Lateral radiographs and T2-weighted MRI showed the incidence of ASD in CADR group was significantly lower than that in ACDF group.Conclusion The six-year follow-up results of CADR are basically satisfactory.Compared with ACDF,it could better preserve physiological motion and biomechanics of cervical spine,and reduce the incidence of ASD.

In recent years, through the measurement and analysis of size ratio(SR), inflow angle (IFA), volume-to-ostium ratio(VOR), flow angle(FA), parent-daughter angle(PDA), A1- A2 diameter ratio(A1/A2), a ratio of aneurysm volume to bounding sphere volume(AVSV), a ratio of aneurysm surface to bounding sphere surface (AASA), some international scholars assessed aneurysm rupture risk, and had made some preliminary progress. Research showed that the geometry parameters had the objective significance for the evaluation of the risk of aneurysm rupture, and the bigger the SR, IFA, VOR, FA, A1/A2, AVSV, AASA, the easier the rupture of aneurysms. The smaller the PDA, the easier the rupture of the aneurysms.

Objective To develop a probe for photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging targeting integrin αvβ6 . Methods The probe was separated by RP‐HPLC .Molecular weight and the maximum absorption wavelength of the probe were detected by mass spectrum instrument and optical spectrum instrument .

Results The probe ICG‐peptide was separated from reaction mixture by RP‐HPLC .The probe had a retention time of 21 .4 minutes and m/z of 4 727 . The labeling ratio of the probe was 1∶1 . The maximum absorption wavelength of the probe was 790 nm . The photoacoustic signal was linearly dependent on the concentration of the probe . The fluorescence signal was linearly dependent on the concentration of the probe when the concentration was smaller than 1 .5 × 10 -5 mol/L . The lowest concentration of the probe that could be detected above the background by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging was 0 .09 × 10-5 mol/L and 0 .05 × 10-5 mol/L ,respectively . No obvious decrease of the photoacoustic signal was observed after the probe was scanned 20 times ( each time lasted for 1 min) by laser . There existed differences ( P <0 .001) in cell uptake of the probe with various concentrations and reaction time between A431 cells (αvβ6 positive) and 293T cells (αvβ6 negative) . Cell uptake was inhibited by the addition of 5μmol/L unlabeled peptide in A431 cells ( P = 0 .001 ) . The lowest number of the labeled A431 cells detected by photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging was 0 .4 × 106 and 0 .05 × 106 ,respectively . Conclusions The dual functional photoacoustic and fluorescence probe targeting integrin αvβ6 was successfully developed . The targeting and sensitivity of the probe makes it potentially useful in early detection of αvβ6 positive tumors .

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of inhaled budesonide on the efficacy and related indexes of patients with acute bronchitis. METHODS:102 patients with acute bronchitis were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Control group was given 100 mg/(kg·d) Cefotaxime sodium injection,adding into 150 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection intravenously by 2 times,as well as sedation,oxygen inhalation,rehydration,correcting acid-base balance and other conventional treatment;ob-servation group was additionally given 2 ml Inhaled budesonide suspension,twice a day. The treatment course for both groups was 7 d. Clinical efficacy,erythrocyte immune complex rosette(E-ICR),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),peak expiratory flow rate(PEF),forced vital capacity(FVC),1 second forced exhaled volume(FEV1),time of body temperature returned to nor-mal,cough disappearance time,rale disappearance time before and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,time of body temperature returned to normal, cough disappearance time and rale disappearance time were significantly shorter than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). Before treatment,there were no significant differences in the E-ICR and hs-CRP levels,PEF,FVC and FEV1 between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,E-ICR and hs-CRP levels were significant-ly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,PEF,FVC and FEV1 were significantly higher than be-fore,and observation group was higher than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). And there were no adverse reactions during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Based on conventional treatment,inhaled budesonide has obvious efficacy in the treatment of acute bronchitis,and it can reduce E-ICR and hs-CRP,improve pulmonary functions,with good safety.
