Micrometastases were concentrated in corpus vertebrae(45/49). CT found the rate of bone-destruction, affection of vertebrae canal and soft tissue around vertebrae were 100%, 67.8% and 71.4%, but the corresponding rates were only 53.6%, 14.3% and 32.1% by X-ray. Conclusion Vertebral column metastases destructed corpus vertebrae at first, vertebral metastases are the origin or base of destruction of the pediculus arcus vertebrae, lamina vertebrae, processus transverses and processus spinous. CT scanning is more sensitive in finding and evaluating the lesions than X-ray plain film.

AIM:To explore the potential correlation between the expression of phosphatase and tensin homology deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN) and RIF in IgA nephropathy.METHODS:Forty-seven patients diagnosed as primary IgA nephropathy by renal histology were involved.10 specimens from normal renal tissue of renal carcinoma served as control group.Tubulointerstitial lesion(TIL) was classified by using Katafuchi scale,including no TIL(group I),mild TIL(group II),moderate TIL(group III),severe TIL(group IV).The expressions of PTEN,TGF-?1,?-SMA and ColⅢ in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry.PTEN mRNA was detected by in situ hybridization.RESULTS:Renal tissues from renal biopsy showed abundant expressions of PTEN and PTEN mRNA in endochylema of renal tubular epithelial cells,and negligible expression in glomeruli.With the progress of TIF in IgA nephropathy,the expressions of PTEN and PTEN mRNA decreased gradually(P

With the Meta-analysis method, the clinical efficacy of acupuncture and other regular methods for aphasia was evaluated, and the acupoints selection for aphasia was explored. The acupuncture literature of clinical randomized control trials for aphasia published in CNKI, WANFANG, VIP and CBM database was searched; the statistical analysis of clinical efficacy of acupuncture and other regular methods for aphasia was performed by using software Revman 5. 2 provided by Cochrane library. A file of Microsoft Excel was established to perform the analysis of acupoints selection based on frequency analysis method, so as to summarize the characteristics and rules. Totally 385 articles were searched, and 37 articles those met the inclusive criteria was included, involving 1,260 patients in the acupuncture group and 1 238 patients in the control group. The Meta-analysis results showed OR = 3.82, 95% Cl [3.01, 4.85]; rhombus was located on the right side and the funnel plot was nearly symmetry, indicating the treatment effect of the acupuncture group for aphasia was superior to the control group (Z = 11.04, P < 0.000 01). The frequency-analysis results showed that the frequency of acupoints from top to bottom was Lian-quan (CV 23), Tongli (HT 5), Yamen (GV 15), Jinjin (EX-HN 12), Yuye (EX-HN 13), Baihui (GV 20), Yuyan II, Yuyan I and Yuyan III. The frequency of meridians from top to bottom was the governor vessel, extra channels, conception vessel, heart meridian and large intestine meridian. It is concluded that the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with speech rehabilitation training and medication treatment for aphasia is superior to that of speech rehabilitation training and medication treatment alone. The clinical treatment for aphasia focuses on its local effect; the main acupoints are in the head and face, and the meridians are governor vessel, extra channels and conception vessel.
