Spinal giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a kind of primary benign bone tumors in the spine. It is rich in blood supply,aggressive,and easily recurring and lung metastasizing. So the benign GCTBs of the spine remains a challenge to treat.This article reviews the therapeutic methods in spinal GCTBs,including surgery,radiation therapy,arterial embolization. The treatment for the tumor with lung metastasis is also covered in this review. It is established that En bloc resection with wide margins is the most effective method to spinal GCTBs. To eliminate the residual tumor cells,adjuvant radiation should be done when complete resection is not available. Arterial embolization can be used to treat the huge sacral GCTBs.For those with lung metatasis,they can be controlled by lobectomy and /or chemotherapy.

Objective To carry out the detection of JAGI gene in children with chronic cholestasis and to im-prove the diagnostic level and understanding of Alagille syndrome. Methods Two cases of chronic cholestasis with multiple organ involvement were selected as the research subjects and their clinical data,laboratory test results were col-lected. Two milliliter peripheral intravenous heparin anticoagulan blood was drawn from each patient. All fragments of 26 exons of the JAGI gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction - sequence based on typing method. Results One patient with chronic cholestasis,heart murmur and dysmorphic face showed bile duct paucity in liver biopsy and a novel heterozygous mutation c. 809 809delG(p. G270Dfs*142)in 6 exon. Abnormal amino acid replaced JAG1 protein and resulted in truncation of the JAG1 protein. The part of epidermal growth factor(EGF)like repeats region loss and the cysteine rich region completely lost. One case with typical chronic cholestasis and dysmorphic face showed a known IVS20 - 2 5delTAAG heterozygous mutation which resulted in splice site changes. Conclusion A novel JAGI gene mutation c. 809 809delG(p. G270Dfs*142)is helpful to screen JAGI gene of Notch signal transduction pathway for chronic cholestasis with multiple organs involvement in children.

Objective To evaluate the significance of suPAR,SCC-Ag in plasma and HPV16,18 in cervical secretion for monitoring pathogenetic condition and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer.Methods 206 cervical cancer patients blood and cervical secretion were collected.Plasma level of suPAR and SCC-Ag were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in health women and patients with cervical cancer.The expression of HPV16,18 of cervical secretion in control group and patients with cervical cancer were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR.The correlations of the three indexes were analyzed.Results The plasma level of suPAR and SCC-Ag,the expression of HPV16,18 of cervical secretion in cervical cancer patients were obviously higher than those in health controls with statistical significance ((1.072 5±0.305 2) ng/ml vs (0.501 7±0.179 3) ng/ml,(0.980 6±0.162 7) μg/ml vs (0.261 4± 0.006 3) μg/ml and 53.89 ％ (90/167),46.15 ％ (18/39) vs 6.67 ％ (4/60),P ＜ 0.05).There was a positive correlation between plasma suPAR level and SCC-Ag level in invasive carcinoma of cervix patients (r =0.564,P ＜ 0.05).The plasma level of suPAR between in HPV16,18 positive group and in HPV16,18 negative group did not show difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions In invasive carcinoma of cervix patients,there is a positive correlation between plasma suPAR level and SCC-Ag level.But it's not yet to conclude that plasma suPAR level of cervix invasive carcinoma patients is related to infection of HPV16,18.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of medical supporting bone graft following posterior approach and bone cement implantation in the hip joint in treating intertrochanteric fracture.METHODS: A computer-based online search of Science Direct, Ei databases was performed for English articles published between January 1960 and October 2009, with the key words "bone cement, intertrochanteric fracture". In addition, CNKI and CBM were searched for related Chinese articles published between January 1994 and October 2009, with the key words "intertrochanteric fracture, coxa vara, posterior approach of hip joint, bone cement implantation in major screw hole". Moreover,related books were manually searched. Treatment of intertrochanteric fracture, basic and clinical experiment of intertrochanteric fracture treated by bone cement was included.RESULTS: Intertrochanteric fracture treatment includes lateral or anterior approach for dynamic hip plate system, dynamic hip screw, and femoral proximal intramedullary screw internal fixation. Dynamic hip screw is standard internal fixation to treat intertrochanteric fracture, with strong anti-rotation function, and meets the biomechanical requirements. However, screw loosening,extraction and breakage frequently occur. Cancellous bone screw track enhanced by bone cement increases screw retention force,benefits screw compression, enhances bone-screw interface to transfer the stress to screw-bone regions, which significantly increases the anti-flexion and anti-torsion strength of dynamic hip screw and improves fracture stability. The mechanism involves the integral formation of cancellous bone, bone cement and screw by the micro-interlocking of bone trabecula and surrounding cancellous bone.CONCLUSION: Dynamic hip screw filled by bone cement significantly enhances the anti-flexion and anti-torsion strength of internal fixation and improves fracture stability.

BACKGROUND: Cytokine abnormality, nerve function abnormality and hormone levels may contribute to osteoporosis occurrence following spinal cord injury (SCI), many papers are about cytokine and hormone, but fewer is related to abnormal nerve function on bone accommodation.OBJECTIVE: To innovatively apply blood biochemistry and immunohistochemistry on the observation of change of calcitonin gene-related peptide distributing in trabecular bone of SCI rats, and to analyze its significance in the osteoporosis. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized control animal trials were performed from September 2008 to December 2008 at the laboratory of Orthopedic Institute in the Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA,MATERIALS: Forty-eight Sprague Dawley rats aged 3 months, weighing (210:1:16) g, were divided into SCI group and control group equally. METHODS: Rats in the SCI group underwent spinal cord transection at the tenth thoracic vertebrae. Control rats underwent laminectomy without any spinal cord lesion. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Each 8 rats were sacrificed at 1, 3, 6 weeks postoperatively. The serum concentrations of bone-specific alkaline phosphotase and serum cross-linked N-telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen were determined. The stain intensity of calcitonin gene-related peptide in trabacular bone was determined with use of quantitative immunohistochemistry technique and computer image analysis system.RESULTS: The cross-linked N-telopeptida of type Ⅰ collagen significantly increased in SCI group at defferent interval compared with control group (P <0.05 or 0.01 ), serum concentrations of bone-specific alkaline phosphotase was lower than control group,without significant difference (P > 0.05). Immunoreactivity of calcitonin gene-related peptide in trabecular bone was strongly positive in control group, while weakened in SCI group (P < 0.05 or 0.01).CONCLUSION: Reduced calcitonin gene-related peptide in trabecular bone of SCI rats may be related to the occurrence of osteoporosis following SCI.
