Purpose To investigate the genetic changes of ALK gene in sporadic neuroblastoma in China, and to explore its role in neuroblastoma. Methods Total 56 cases of NB with overexpressed ALK protein were studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) , using interphase Vysis LSI ALK dual-color and break apart rearrangement probes. Literature under the subject was searched through PubMed. Results Of the 56 cases, ALK gain was found in 9 (16%) cases, ALK amplification was found in 1 (1. 8%) case only. No alterations of ALK were detected in the remaining 46 cases. Conclusion As a major predisposition gene as well as a poten-tial therapeutic target for neuroblastoma, the frequency of aberrant copy numbers of ALK gene in Chinese NB patients is closely similar with previously published results.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and image manifestations of hepatic inflammatory myofibro-blastie tumor( HIMT), and to investigate the optimal management of this disease. Methods From January 2000 to January 2007, clinical data with HIMT verified by pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results Eight patients 5 men, 3 women were included in the analysis. The mean age was 41.3 years. All eases did not have a history of previous hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, and 6 with no typical clinical symptoms. Hepatic functions, serum levels of AFP, CEA, CA199 in these patients were all within the normal ranges. Preoperative imaging by ultrasonography and computed tomography(CT) were not indicative of HIMT. Morphologic features by CT scan were summarized: at nonenhanced CT, the masses appeared as low density lesions. At contrast enhanced CT, the masses exhibited mod-erate intensification in the solitary areas, and the intensification peak appeared during the period of artery. During the period of portal vein and delayed scan, the masses showed low to moderate intensification in the solitary areas, in which the degree of intensification was a little lower than that in peripheral liver parenchyma. Gross specimens showed single solid masses, 3~12 cm, without classic envelope. All the patients underwent surgery whereas no incidence of perioperative death. Diagnosis of HIMT was confirmed by pathology of surgical specimens. Condusion Although typical presentation and the diagnostic workup are still lacking for HIMT, CT is helpful in diagnosing HIMT as well as combined with clinical findings. Surgical management would be likely the optimal treatment of this disease.

Objective To analyze the timing and frequency of spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a rat model,and evaluate its value bearing some relation to duration of cardiac arrest (CA ) in predicting the severity of post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction.Methods Twenty-seven healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly (random number)divided into 3 groups according to different durations of CA:CA 4 min (n=9),CA 6 min (n=9)and CA 8 min (n=9).CA of rats was electrically induced and untreated for 4,6 or 8 min respectively in the corresponding groups,and then cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)was initiated and continued for 8 min in all animals.The emergence timing and frequency of spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and resuscitation outcomes were documented.Myocardial function such as cardiac output,ejection fraction and Tei index was measured by echocardiography prior to CA and at 1 h,2 h and 4 h post-resuscitation.Results The earliest appearance of gasping with highest frequency was observed in the CA 4 min group during CPR.Gasping appeared later with decreased frequency observed following longer duration of CA.There were statistically significant differences in the timing and frequency of gasping among the 3 groups.In the CA 4 min group with frequent gasping,all animals were successfully resuscitated with 8-min CPR with the least number of defibrillation,which was significantly better than that in the CA 8 min group.During the evaluation of post-resuscitation myocardial function,cardiac output,ejection fraction and myocardial work index (Tei index) were better in the CA 4 min group with frequent gasping,worse in the CA 6 min group and worst in the CA 8 min group, showing statistically significant differences in cardiac function among the 3 groups. Conclusions The spontaneous gasping appeared sooner with higher frequency during cardiopulmonary resuscitation indicated shorter duration of CA,and predicted better success of resuscitation and post-resuscitation myocardial function.

Objective To evaluate cognitive impairment and performance-based skills and to explore their rela?tionships with clinical phenotypes in drug-na?ve first-episode patients with schizophrenia. Methods One hundred and forty-five inpatients and 65 healthy controls matched for age, gender and education were recruited. The MATRICS Con?sensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), Stroop, digit span test, emotional recognition test, University of California, San Diego, Performance-based Skill Assessment (UPSA) and Positive Negative Syndrome Scale scale (PANSS) were used to evaluate cognitive function, life skill and symptoms, respectively. Results Compared with the controls, total score of MCCB and scores of 10 subscales, scores of digit span, emotional recognition and Stroop were significantly lower in patients (all P<0.05). The UPSA total score and scores of financial skill and communication skill were lower in patients than in controls (all P<0.05). Verbal memory, visual memory , Stroop, communication skill scores and total UPSA standard score were sig?nificantly higher in patients with paranoid subtype of schizophrenia than in patients with non-paranoid subtype of schizo? phrenia (all P<0.05). The score of MCCB associated with education years (OR=1.29, 95%CI: 1.13~1.47) and PANSS (OR=0.95, 95%CI:0.92~0.97). Conclusions First-episode, drug-naive patients with schizophrenia have markedly cog?nitive and performance-based skills deficits, which are associated with clinical symptoms. These deficits are differences between paranoid subtype and non-paranoid subtype of schizophrenia.

Objective To investigate the effects of limb ischemic post-conditioning (LIpostC) alone or its combination with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on systemic inflammatory response and lung injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation. Methods Twenty-one healthy male pigs weighing (37±2) kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 7 each): control group, LIpostC group, and LIpostC+TH group. The animal model was established by 10 minutes of untreated CA and then 5 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Coincident with the start of CPR, LIpostC was induced by four cycles of 5 minutes of limb ischemia followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups. After successful resuscitation, TH was implemented by surface cooling to reach a temperature of 32-34℃ until 4 hours post-resuscitation, followed by a re-warming rate of 1 ℃/h for 4 hours in the LIpostC+TH group. Normal temperature was maintained in the control and LIpostC groups. The resuscitation outcomes in each group were recorded during CPR. At 15 minutes prior to CA (baseline) and during 4 hours post-resuscitation, the level of arterial lactate was measured and PaO2/FiO2 was calculated, and extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) were measured meanwhile by a PiCCO monitor. At 15 minutes prior to CA (baseline) and during 24 hours post-resuscitation, the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Six animals in each group were successfully resuscitated. Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), duration of resuscitation, number of shocks and epinephrine dosage during CPR were not statistically significant among the three groups. The baseline of arterial lactate, PaO2/FiO2, EVLWI, PVPI and cytokines prior to CA were also not statistically significant among the three groups. The levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 after resuscitation were gradually increased in all the three groups; however, the values of TNF-αand IL-6 were significantly lower in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups than that in the control group, and they were further decreased in the LIpostC+TH group when compared to the LIpostC group [TNF-α (ng/L): 305±22 vs. 343±26 at 4 hours, 350±29 vs. 389±18 at 24 hours; IL-6 (ng/L): 239±14 vs. 263±19 at 24 hours, all P < 0.05]. The levels of lactate reached the peak at 2 hours post-resuscitation and then gradually decreased in all the three groups; it finally returned to the baseline in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups, which was markedly lower than that in the control group (mmol/L: 1.4±0.7, 1.2±0.3 vs. 3.1±1.7, both P < 0.05). During 4 hours post-resuscitation, PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher and EVLWI and PVPI were markedly lower in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups than that in the control group; additionally, PaO2/FiO2 and EVLWI were further improved in the LIpostC+TH group than the LIpostC group [4-hour PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 391±26 vs. 361±20; 4-hour EVLWI (mL/kg): 10.1±1.5 vs. 12.1±1.2, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion LIpostC can be used to alleviate systemic inflammatory response and lung injury after porcine CA and CPR, and its combination with TH further enhanced its protective effects.
