Tenascin-C (TNC) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein, which is usually highly expressed in embryonic tissues and tumor tissues, but is not expressed or just lowly expressed in mature tissues. TNC is involved in various complex signaling pathways during tumor metastasis, especially through modulating FAK, RhoA, Wnt and Notch pathways by interacting with syndecan-4, integrin α5β1, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). As a result, TNC affects epithelial mesenchymal transition, tumor cell adhesion, proliferation and angiogenesis, which eventually enhances the invasion and metastasis ability of many tumors. Further studies have demonstrated that TNC could be used as prognosis or metastasis marker of patients with malignant tumor.

Objective To explore the relationship between different hemorrhage position,hemorrhage volume,surgical time and outcome of treatment with surgical methods of HICH.Methods A total of 1310 patients were admitted from six hospitals from January 2004 to January 2008,the 1310 patients were divided into six groups according to different operation:craniotomy through bone flap (group A),craniotomy through small bone window (group B),stereotactic drilling drainage (group C1 and group C2),neuron-endoscopy operation (group D) and external ventricular drainage (group E),considering hemorrhage position,hemorrhage volume,surgical time and result of surgical methods were reviewed and analyzed.Results ①Craniotomy through bone flap should be selected with the case of superficial or deep hematoma volume (＞ 80 mL),median line structure distinct motion,metaphase or advanced stage of hernia of brain.②Craniotomy through small bone window and neuron-endoscopy should be selected with the case of moderate hematoma volume (50-80 mL) ③Drilling drainage should be selected with the case of small hematoma volume in superficial or deep hematoma volume (20-50 mL) ④Extemal drainage should be selected in dealing with ventricular hemorrhage.Small bone window or neuron-endoscopy should be selected in ventricular casting mould.⑤The appropriate operation time for patients with hematoma volume less than 80 mL should be 6-12 hours and large hematoma should be immediately operated to save lives.The operation time should depend on patients detail condition.Conclusions Craniotomy through bone flap was suitable for large hematoma and hernia of brain; Stereotactic drilling drainage should be selected in patients with hematoma volume less than 80mL; and the operation results in dealing with HICH would be improved via suitable operation time and surgical methods and adividual according to Hemorrhage position and Hemorrhage volume.

Objective To summary the methods and results of first and second operations on patients with aortic valve disease and non-specific aortitis.Methods The total 34 patients including 23 cases with aortitis and 11 cases with Behcet disease were studied from Jan 2000 to Dec 2010.The first operation was Bentall procedure in 18 cases and AVR in 16 cases.Fourteen of 16 cases who had AVR developed severe paravalvular leakage,and undewent the second operation including 10 aortic root replacement (8 valve-conduit and 2 homograft) and 4 non-anatomic AVR.Results Eighteen patients who had first operation of Bentall procedure all survive without aortic pseudoaneurysm after the follow-up of 6 months to 11 years.Fourteen redo cases all survive except for one case died of repture of aortic pseudoaneurysm 1.2 years postoperatively.Conclusion Preoperative diagnosis in these patients is very difficulty.The first operation of root replacement is of choice.The second operation is very difficulty to handle,root replacement can achieve satisfactory results.Non-anatomic AVR is easy to perform,and good hemo stasis intraoperatively,and is a satisfied alternative method with good results.

In recent years (2007 to 2011),although the overall number of rabies cases in China has decreased,there is evidence of emerging or re-emerging cases in regions without previous rabies cases or with low incidence of rabies.To investigate the origin and the factors affecting the spread of rabies in China,specimens were collected from 2007 to 2011 from provinces with emerging and re-emerging cases and tested for the presence of the rabies virus.Positive specimens were combined with sequences from GenBank to perform comparisons of homology and functional sites,and to carry out phylogenetic analyses.Out of these regions,five provinces had 9positive specimens from canine and cattle,and 34 canine or human specimens were obtained from previously high-incidence provinces.Complete sequences of G gene were obtained for these samples.Homology of the sequences of these 43 specimens was 87％-100％ at the nucleotide level and 93.7％ -100％ at the amino acid level.These G gene sequences were combined with reference sequence from GenBank and used to construct a phylogenetic tree.The results showed that 43 specimens were all assigned to China clade I and clade Ⅱ,with all specimens from emerging and re-emerging areas placed within clade I.Specimens isolated from Shanxi and Inner Mongolia in 2011 were distinct from previously-isolated local strains and had closer homology to strains from Hebei,Beijing and Tianjin whereas new isolates from Shanghai were tightly clustered with strains isolated in the 1990s.Finally,Shaanxi isolates were clustered with strains from adjacent Sichuan.Our results suggest that the rabies cases in emerging and re-emerging areas in China in the last 5 years are a consequence of the epidemic spreading from of neighboring provinces and regions experiencing a serious epidemic of rabies.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the possibility of vaginal hysterectomy for patients with moderately enlarged uterus of benign lesions.

METHODSOne hundred and seventeen women with benign uterine diseases underwent vaginal hysterectomy. These patients were divided into two groups according to uterine weight. Group I contained 60 patients with uterine enlargement to a weight of 200 to 750 g, and group II contained 57 patients with uterine weight of less than 200 g. Uterine morcellation was performed in some cases. The perioperative data in both groups were analyzed.

RESULTSIn group I, 59 cases underwent transvaginal hysterectomy successfully, except 1 case converted to abdominal operation and the uterine morcellation was performed in 21 women. In group II, all patients successfully underwent transvaginal hysterectomy without any assistance of special technique. The mean uterine weight of group I was significantly heavier than that of group II (280.18 +/- 100.40 g vs 146.48 +/- 35.19 g). The mean operating time was significantly longer for group I than that for group II (83.93 +/- 26.26 minutes vs 35.22 +/- 20.55 minutes). There were no significant differences in blood loss and complications between group I and group II. There was no injury of urinary bladder or rectum, and no vaginal vault infection.

CONCLUSIONSVaginal hysterectomy of moderately enlarged uterus can be safely and effectively performed by experienced operators. In some cases, in order to reduce the uterine volume, uterine morcellation should be used to shorten operative time, reduce the bleeding, and lower the postoperative complications.
