Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a common soft tissue sarcoma, which shows a strong predilection for distant metastases. Due to its limited response to radiotherapy and chemotherapy , poor prognosis is generally observed. A patient with MFH, who developed pulmonary metastases, postoperatively took ZD1839, an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, because it was found that there was EGFR expression on the surface of the tumor cells. After a course of treatment (28 days), the pulmonary metastases disappeared, and the patient enjoyed a complete remission.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and localization of midkine (MK) in human hepatocellular carcinoma. MethodsIn situ hybridization and immunohistochemical analysis for MK were performed on samples of both tumor tissues and paratumor tissues from HCC and benign liver tumors. ResultsThe distribution and localization of the MK transcripts′ signals determined by in situ hybridization were similar to those obtained by immunohistochemical analysis. Most HCC tissues showed enhanced positive reaction within cytoplasm to both MK probe and MK immunostaining. There was no significant difference in clinicopathological parameters between MK negative and positive cases of HCC. ConclusionsHuman hepatocellular carcinoma overexpresses MK at the mRNA and protein level.

AIM: To investigate the clinical effectiveness of reformed nonperforating trabeculectomy (NPT) in the patients with primary glaucoma.METHODS: 30 eyes of 21 patients with primary glaucoma patients underwent reformed NPT, in which 1.0mm3.0mm out layer of trabecular meshwork with Schlemm's canal was excised, but the innermost tissue was reserved. The clinical effectiveness was observed with short-term follow-up (1wk;1,6mo) and the long-term follow-up (1a and over, 10a the longest).RESULTS: The intraocular pressure (IOP) was controlled in 28 eyes (93%) without anti-glaucoma medicine during short-term follow-up, and in 27 eyes (90%)for long-term ones. There were no serious post-operative complications in all cases.CONCLUSION: The elevated IOP in patients with primary glaucoma can be effectively reduced by reformed NPT during short-term and long-term follow-up. The post-operative complications are much less because of no intra-operative penetration of the anterior chamber. The reformed NPT is an ideal surgical procedure for primary glaucoma.

This study was aimed to analyze the clinical features of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) and extend the understanding of this disease. From August, 2008 to October, 2010, 9 patients were diagnosed with PKD in the Department of Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, China. The data involving clinical demographic characteristics, somatosensory evoked potentials, results of electromyography, video electroencephalography (EEG), brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerized tomography (CT) were collected. All PKD patients exhibited unilateral or bilateral recurrent episodic dyskinetic attacks triggered by sudden voluntary movements. The duration of the attacks ranged from several seconds to one minute. The attack frequency ranged from approximately once in several months to more than 10 times in a day. Patients suffered from no conscious disorders during the attack, and no neurological signs were found during the period between attacks. No abnormal somatosensory evoked potentials were found. Routine EEG, video EEG monitoring or brain imaging showed normal findings. Classical treatment for anti-epilepsy, including carbamazepine and topiramate, was administered to the patients and proved to be effective. It was concluded that PKD is characteristically triggered by sudden voluntary movement; no abnormal electroneurophysiological findings are observed in PKD, and antiepileptic drugs are effective in treating the disorder.

Objective To explore the application of the exercise test (ET) in paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD).Methods We conducted the ET in 33 controls and 45 PKD patients following standardized protocols,and the decrement in the amplitude and in the area of compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) after long ET and other seven parameters were calculated and compared in both groups,and the normal range of parameters was defined as the mean ± two standard deviation of the control values.Results According to the control group,the normal range of the change in the amplitude of CMAP immediately after short ET was-13%-27% and the normal range of decrement in the amplitude of CMAP after long ET was less than 33%.And the ET was abnormal in 16 of the 45 PKD patients (36%).Comparing the nine parameters between two groups,we found that both the decreases of the amplitude (25.5% ±13.4% vs16.2% ±8.6%,t=-3.72,P=0.00) and the area(31.8% ±16.3% vs19.0% ± 16.8%,t =-2.39,P =0.02) of CMAP after long ET in PKD patients were larger than those in controls.No statistically significant difference was found between 19 non-ion channel disease patients and 14 normal controls.No statistically significant difference was found between the nine parameters in 27 PKD patients before and after medication,though all the patients had obvious clinical improvement.Conclusion We found that abnormal ET may appear in PKD patients,and this finding hinted that abnormal muscle membrane excitability might be an underlying mechanism responsible for PKD.
