Background Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a a common cause of anatomic failure in retinal detachment surgery.Proteomics is the critical method to investigate the different proteins. Objective This study was to search for related vitreous proteins in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)and screen for the related protein expression in the vitreous with PVR. Methods Vitreous samples were obtained from 8 moderate PVR (grade B)eyes and 8 severe PVR(grade C or D)eyes during pars plana vitrectomy (PPV)for the proteomics analysis by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry.Normal vitreous from 8 healthy donor eyes served as control.First dimension isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed with the Pharmacia IPGphor in solvent B using 18 cm non-linear pH 3-10 immobilized pH gradient (IPG)strips.IPG strips were rehydrated with sample,and then IEF was performed.The second dimension 12%sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) was performed after the IPG strips were equilibrated.After silver staining,the gels were analyzed by the 2-DE gel analysis software.The matched spots were excised and tryptica digested in-gel.The peptides were analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS and the MS/MS spectral were searched against the human protein databases using MASCOT.This study process complied with the Declaration of Helsinki.Wfitten informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to this trial. Results In the current study,a total of 47,184 and 336 protein spots were detected from the normal donor eyes,moderate PVR eyes and severe PVR eyes,respectively,by 2-DE gels.Among 13 protein spots with significant differences in the 3 groups,7 types of proteins were successfully identified.The results indicated that Enolase 2 was a specific protein for normal donor vitreous.whereas transthyretin monomer and retinol-binding protein(RBP) chain B were distinct proteins found in severe PVR vitreous.and prostaglandin D synthase and RBP3 precursor were common proteins with up-regulated expression in vitreous samples with moderate PVR,but down-regulated levels in vitreous samples with severe PVR.The levels of albumin and transferrin in vitreous showed dynamic elevation with the enhancement of severity of PVR.Conclusion The changes in the vitreous proteome imply that some types of vitreous proteins degrade and some common serum proteins are expressed in the vitreous body with PVR,which indicated the disruption of the blood retinal barrier in the pathogenesis of PVR.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effects on health-related quality of life after short-segment pedicle fixation of thoracolumbar fractures without neurologic injury.

METHODSA total of 55 patients suffered from thoracolumbar fractures without neurological deficit from January 2007 to October 2010 were included in this retrospective study. Of the 55 patients, 35 were male and 20 were female. The mean age was (44.0±10.5) years old (ranged, 7 to 75). Preoperatively, the main clinical symptoms in patients were thoracolumbar pain without neurologic injury and the imaging findings mainly showed that the injured vertebra became wedging or flat with the loss of height. Three questionnaires (ODI, EQ-5D and SF-36) were applied to follow-up in this study.

RESULTSAll operations were successful and incisions got primary healing. The function of thoracolumbar spine fully or basiclly restored and postoperative imagings showed fractures healed without loose screws, broken screws or broken rods. The completion rates of all the queasionnaires were 100% while the mean follow-up period was 4.2 years (ranged, 3 to 6). The ODI scores were 25.8±18.7, which were statistically higher than those of the general population in our country (P<0.05). The EQ-5D index scores were 0.70, which were statistically lower than those of the normal Chinese population (P<0.05). Compared with the normal scores in our country, the scores of 8 items in the SF-36 questionnaire were obviously lower with significant difference (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONCompared with the normal Chinese population, it should be paid more attention to that the health-related quality of life in patients after short-segment pedicle fixation of thoracolumbar fractures without neurologic injury because of lower scores.

Objective To investigate the expression of PTPN13 in human gastric cancer and gastric cancer SGC-7901celllineanditsassociationwithproliferationandinvasion.Methods 106casesgastriccancertissuesamples and matched normal peritumorial tissues were collected .SGC-7901 cells were cultured and divided into two groups including pcDNA3.1-PTPN13 transfection group and without transfection group .Immunohistochemical technique was used to detecte protein expression of PTPN 13.The association of PTPN13 expression with tumor location , tumor size , depth of invasion and tumor metastasis were analyzed .The survival rate of patients with different PT-PN13 expression was calculated by Kaplan-Meier curves.CCK-8 assay was used to estimate the proliferation chan-ges.Using Trans-well assay analyzed the invasion of SGC-7901 cells.Moreover, Western blot was performed to de-tect the markers of EMT including E-cadherin, Snail and MMP9.Results Immunohistochemistry showed the expression rate of PTPN13 in gastric cancer tissues was lower than normal tissue (31 %vs 83%, P<0.05).The expression of PTPN13 in patients was related to with different tumor size , depth of invasion and tumor metastasis (P<0.05).The 2-year survival rate of patients with negative PTPN13 expression were lower.Overexpression reduced both proliferation and invasion in SGC-7901 cells.Up-regulated PTPN13 may increase E-cadherin level but decreases the level of Snail and MMP9 .Conclusions PTPN13 plays a role in gastric cancer tissue and cells as a tumor suppressor.Lower PTPN13 may predict a poor prognosis.PTPN13 may be used as therapy target in gastric cancer.

Objective To study the methods and efficacy of selective or superselective renal artery embolization for renal neoplasms,abcesses and bleeding. Methods Sixty cases of renal carcinomas and 4 cases of abcesses were all treated with selective renal artery embolization before surgery,and 3 cases of advanced renal carcinomas were treated with selective renal artery embolization alone.Embolization materials for carcinoma and abcesses were mainly gelfoam.Nine cases of renal angiomyolipomas,23 of traumatic renal hemorrhages,1 undergoing extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and 2 nephrolithotomy,all of whom had severe hematuria,were treated with selective or superselective renal segment artery embolization.Embolization materials for hemorrhages were mainly self-blood clots and(or) gelfoam,and the materials for angiomyolipoma were pure alcohol and(or) gelfoam. Results The sizes of carcinomas and abcesses were decreased in all of the 60 cases of renal carcinomas and 4 cases of renal abcesses.The edema around the carcinomas and abcesses became obvious,and bleeding was reduced,which were convenient for operation and prolonged survivals.All the renal bleeding were cured with selective or superselective renal artery embolization except for one traumatic case treated by operation for continuous bleeding.All these cases were followed up for 1 month to 18 years.One case had mild atrophy of kidney and in one case IVU didn't develop.All the others were in good condition. Conclusions Selective or superselective renal artery embolization is a safe,effective approach with less complications and most probability to preserve the diseased kidney. Renal artery embolization as a valuable treatment should be studied and widely applied.
