Brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) play a key role in tumorigenesis and tumor development.There are a group of special markers in the surface of brain tumor stem cells,which can sorts stem cells,precursor cells and cancer stem cells.In recent years,the studies of CD133,Nestin,high-mobility group A1,A2B5 have made some breakthroughs.

The purpose of applying antibiotics prophylaxis in perioperative orthopedic surgery is to prevent or decrease the risk of infection.The opportune administration is the key point for prevention of infection.The application principle,classification and current situation are reviewed in this paper,its perspective and prospects are also investigated.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of the color Doppler ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment of artery injury of extremities. Methods Color Doppler ultrasound was used in 69 patients with limb trauma. Results Ultrasonography showed completely or partially vascular rupture in 13 cases (surgery confirmed 11 cases), artery injury and thrombosis in 18 cases (surgery confirmed 14 cases), highly suspicious vascular injuries in 19 cases (surgery confirmed 12 cases), vascular pressure, cramps or bone room fascia caused by high blood pressure obstacles in 19 cases (all confirmed afterclinical treatment). Conclusion Color Doppler ultrasound is the best approach for diagnosis and outcome evaluation of of artery injury of extremities.

Objective The aim of this study is to assess the value of serum vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) for predicting recurrence and prognosis in patients with esophageal cancer.Methods A total of 65 patients with esophageal cancer,40 healthy controls were recruited in this study.Serum levels of VEGF-C were measured by ELISA methods.Results Serum level of VEGF-C in esophageal cancer group was higher significantly than those in controls [7.2 (1.2 ～ 35.5) μ g/L vs.4.2 (0.2 ～ 12.6)μ g/L,P ＜ 0.01].Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of serum VEGF-C for predicting recurrence was 0.781 (P＜ 0.01); sensitivity and specificity were 73.1％ and 61.5％,respectively.The survival rate in patients with high VEGF-C level was lower than those with low VEGF-C level (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions VEGF-C may be closely associated with the development and metastasis of esophageal cancer.Serum VEGF-C is a useful marker for predicting recurrence and prognosis in esophageal cancer.

0.05) except IP between T_4 and T_(16)(P0.05).the dynamic and static RBI showed the same change tendency.[Conclusion]The intraosseous and intramedullary blood circulation is severely damaged after blocking of the proximal and middle FMC with bone cement,it induces a long time high IP and a series of changes of blood flow at distal femur.

[Objective]To explore the effects on the distal femoral joint by high intraosseous pressure after blocking of proximal and middle femoral medullary cavity with bone cement.[Method]The rabbit model was established whose proximal and middle femoral medullary cavity of left side was infused with PMMA while the right side served as the control.Twenty-six rabbits were cavided randomly into 4 groups,8 for normal control group,the remained modeled rabbits were grouped according to the observing time-point into following groups:4th(T4),8th(T8) and 16th week(T16).The rabbits was killed to obtain the samples of distal femoral articular synovium,cartilage and the bone under cartilage.Then the structural changes of these tissues were observed by HE staining,toluidine blue staining,immunohistochemistry and transmission electron microscope.[Result](1)HE staining:the damage to articular cartilage,synovial tissue and the bone under cartilage aggravated with time.At the 16th week,it showed the articular cartilage was destructed,the bone structure was severely damaged with the synovial tissue proliferation and swelling.(2)Toluidine blue staining(16th week):all the layers of articular cartilage appeared loss of stain while the superficial layers were slightly loss of stain in control group.(3)Immunohistochemistry(16th week):①CollagenⅡ:the chondrocytes were positively stainned.②TGF-?1:chondrocytes stain was positive;the staining of articular synoviocytes appeared positive.(4)Transmission electron microscope:The lesions to articular chondrocytes and bone cells aggravated with time,part of which presented with necrosis and collapse at the 16th week.[Conclusion]The distal femoral intraosseous and intramedullary blood circulation is severely damaged after blocking of the proximal and middle femoral medullary cavity with bone cement,leading to continuous high intraosseous pressure.It makes the bone metabolism disordered in distal femur,which results degeneration and necrosis in distal femur,cartilage and synovial tissue.

Objective To analyze the mechanism of nasal deformity by reviewing the possible pathogenesis and nasal anatomy and to find the effective and reliable operative methods to correct nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip.Methods 57 patients (37 males,20 females,and range in age from 12 to 25 years,with mean of 18.6 years) with nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip were available for this study.The nasal deformities were treated with the following surgical procedures according to the different locations and degree Of nasal deformities.The eompositive techniques included:alveolar bone grafting was taken to correct the collapse the nasaI base;a cortical plate was inserted between the two medial crura of the alar cartilage.According to the nasal contours of non-cleft side,the alar cartilage was resected and suspended to its normal and symmetrical position.The alar cartilaginous ring was reconstruction,which maintained the nostril shape 3 month postoperatively.Results A total of 57 cases were treated by the method above,and were ranged with score by operators and patients.93% of cases were evaluated as satisfaction after operation.The follow-up for 3 to 24 months showed that 52 cases had achieved satisfactory effects,5 cases showed the trend to relapse.Conclusion The cause of nasal deformities in unilateral cleft lip is complex.The study has achieved a significant improvement by synthetical correction of deformities of maxilla,cartilage and soft tissues, and the restoration of nasal-labial muscles.The rigid suspending is more important to maintain the nostril contour and avoid relapse.

As one of the species of soil-transmitted helminths (STH), hookworm infection is widely prevalent in tropical and subtropical developing countries. Hookworm is harmful to human health mainly including anemia, digestive tract symptoms, female infection can also cause menopause, abortion, infection in infants and young children can lead growth retardation. With the development of economy and implementation of mass drug administration strategies, the infection of hookworm in human body has decreased continuously, but there are still a large number of mild infection cases which clinical symptoms are not obvious, easy to cause missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Several zoonotic hookworm species can cause large-scale infections in cats, dogs and other animals, so as to increase the risk of human hookworm infection. Therefore, it is important to find a highly sensitive and rapid detection techniques to identify hookworm species. In this paper, the existing detection techniques of hookworm were reviewed and their application were prospected to provide ideas for hookworm detection at present situation.
