BACKGROUND:Cartilage injury is stil one of the clinical problems difficult to be treated completely so far. Recently, the discovery of synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) has brought about the new hope to cartilage repair.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the process concerning SMSCs-based therapy for cartilage repair in the past few years, such as the characteristics of SMSCs, culture conditions, preclinical and clinical studies, and then to summarize the literatures published in recent years.
METHODS:A computed-based online search of PubMed and SpringerLink databases was performed using the key words of“synovial mesenchymal stem cells, cartilage repair”for literatures published from January 1993 to May 2013.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Final y, 37 articles were included. SMSCs have a greater proliferative capability, colony-forming potential and chondrogenic potential than other mesenchymal stem cells. The diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can influence the characteristics of SMSCs. Numerous articles have aimed at the studies of cellculture in vitro and celltransplantation in vivo. However, the process of SMSCs therapy is mostly at its preliminary stage. Reports on its unique characteristics, optimal culture conditions and the high-quality clinical studies are stil largely lacking. In a word, though further studies are needed, SMSCs appear to be a promising cellsource for cartilage repair in the future.

Objective: To screen for the differentially expressed genes in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and normal laryngeal tissue using cDNA microarray. Methods: The PCR products of 4 096 genes were spotted on a chemical material coated glass plates in array. The DNAs were then fixed on the glass plate by a serial of treatments. The total RNAs were isolated from the tissues, and then were purified to mRNAs by Oligotex. Both the mRNAs from the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and normal tissue were reversely transcribed to cDNAs with the incorporations of fluorescent dUTP, for preparing the hybridization probes. The mixed probes were then hybridized to the cDNA microarray. After high stringent washing, the cDNA microarray was scanned for the fluorescent signals and showed the differences between 2 tissues. Results: Among the 4 096 target genes, there were 36(0.88%) genes whose expression levels differed between the carcinoma and normal tissues in all 4 cases. Bioinformatical analysis of those genes had been performed. Conclusion: DNA microarray technology is an effective technique in screening for differentially expressed genes between 2 different kinds of tissue. Further analysis of the obtained genes will help to understand the molecular mechanism of malignant carcinoma. [

Objective To investigate the relationship between the characteristics of psychological defense style and clinical symptoms of eating attitude in patients with anorexia nervosa patients. Methods Totally 92 ca?ses ( 46 cases of restricting type,46 cases of binge?eating/purging type,48 cases of early onset before 16 years old, 44 cases of late onset after 16 years old) meeting the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Forth Edition ( DSM?4) for anorexia nervosa (AN) were collected.92 gender?marriage?and education?matched normal cases in a psychiatric hospital were selected as the healthy control group(HC) .All were assessed with defensive style questionnaire(DSQ) and eating attitude test?26(EAT?26).DSQ and EAT?26 were compared between AN and HC,between early onset of AN( before 16 old years) and late onset of AN( after 16 old years) ,and between AN?R and AN?P.Then correlation study was done for the AN. Results Compared with HC,AN showed higher scores in the immature defense,neurotic defense ((4.49±1.13)vs (3.55±0.93),(4.33±0.76)vs (3.88±0.69), P<0.001), and higher EAT?26 median total and factor scores of dieting scale items,bulimia&food preoccupation scale items, oral control subscale items (P<0.01).Compared with AN?R,AN?P showed higher scores in the immature defense ((4.49±1.03)vs (4.79±1.13), P=0.01),and higher EAT?26 median total and factor score of bulimia&food pre?occupation scale items (P<0.05, P<0.01).The correlations between immature defense and EAT?26 total score,be?tween neurotic defense and EAT?26 total score were significant( r=0.472, P<0.001;r=0.315, P=0.002). The correlations between immature defense and EAT?26 dieting score, between neurotic defense and EAT?26 dieting score were significant( r=0.343, P<0.001, r=0.257, P=0.014).The correlations between immature defense and EAT?26 bulimia & food preoccupation score,between neurotic defense and EAT?26 bulimia & food preoccupation score were significant( r=0.523, P<0.001, r=0.267, P=0.010).The correlations between immature defense and duration were significant( r=0.375, P<0.001).The correlations between all defense factors and BMI were not sig?nificant( r=-0.15?0.25, P>0.05) . Conclusion AN patients tend to use more immature defense and neurotic de?fense compared with HC,and AN?P patients use more immature defense compared with AN?R. Immature defense and neurotic defense are related to the eating attitude,and the immature defense is related the duration.

Esophagectomy is one of the most complicated procedures. Satisfactory anesthesia not only ensures the safety in terms of low morbidity and mortality postoperatively, but also one of the potential factors relevant to long-term survival. Most of physicians, however, ignore the significance of anesthesia. This article focuses on the recent advances of anesthesia for esophagectomy in preoperative preparation for induction, rapid-sequence induction, one-lung ventilation, fluid management during surgery and postoperative early extubation and analgesia.

OBJECTIVETo compare the perioperative complications between Ivor-Lewis approach and McKeown approach in minimally invasive esophagectomy and gastric tube reconstruction for the treatment of middle and lower thoracic esophageal cancer.
METHODSRetrospective analysis of clinical data was performed on 288 patients with middle and lower thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent completely minimally invasive esophagectomy by one surgical team in Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from December 2010 to March 2014. Among the 288 patients, 103 patients underwent combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic esophagectomy and intrathoracic esophagogastric anastomosis using a transoral anvil(Orvil)(Ivor-Lewis group, 2-incision) and 185 patients underwent combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic esophagectomy and cervical anastomosis(McKeown group, 3-incision). Patients were stratified by surgical approach and perioperative outcomes were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSThere were no statistical differences between two groups in intra-operative blood loss, conversion to open, extubation time, time to resume oral intake, postoperative hospital stay, the median number of lymph nodes resected. The operation time of Ivor-Lewis group was significantly shorter than that of McKeown group [(283.4±32.0) min vs. (303.6±43.7) min, P=0.003). The hospital cost of Ivor-Lewis group was significantly higher than that of McKeown group [(76 492±18 553) yuan vs. (68 923±17 331) yuan, P<0.01]. There were no statistical differences between two groups in chylothorax, delayed gastric emptying, atrial fibrillation, postoperative bleeding, admission to ICU, short-term postoperative mortality (P>0.05). The total postoperative complication morbidity of Ivor-Lewis group was significantly lower than that of McKeown group(16.5% vs. 31.4%, P<0.01). Ivor-Lewis group had lower pulmonary complication(8.7% vs. 25.9%, P<0.01), anastomotic leakage(1.9% vs. 13.0%, P<0.01), anastomotic stricture (0% vs. 4.9%, P<0.05), recurrent laryngeal nerve injury(1.0% vs. 7.0%, P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONIvor-Lewis approach is associated with less postoperative complications, but higher cost as compared to McKeown approach in the treatment of middle and lower thoracic esophageal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo compare endoscopic approach with lateral rhinotomy for treatment of the sinonasal inverted papilloma in terms of advantage, indications and limitations of the procedures.
METHODSEighty-six cases with inverted papilloma were reviewed retrospectively, among which 23 cases underwent transnasal endoscopic procedures including 10 combined with Caldwell-Luc intervention, and 63 cases underwent lateral rhinotomy. The follow-up period ranged from 11 - 36 m (mean 23 m). The data were processed statistically by SPSS 10.0 software.
RESULTBoth procedures permitted removal of most sinonasal inverted papilloma. The endoscopic surgery provided an excellent visualization, and preserved a vital anatomic structure and left no facial scar. Lateral rhinotomy was associated with postoperative facial scar or deformity. The recurrence rate in lateral rhinotomy group was 9.5% and in endoscopic approach was 13% (P >0.05).
CONCLUSIONEndoscopic approach is favored for the treatment of non-massively extending sinonasal inverted papilloma because of an acceptable recurrence and a better cosmetic results.
