Objective To investigate the effects of different magnitudes of mechanical strain on proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in mouse osteoblast-like cells (MC3T3-E1). Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were subjected to 0%, 6%, 12%, 18% elongation for 24h and 48h by using multi-passage cell stress loading system respectively. MTT colorimetric method was used to assess the proliferation of the cell, ALP activity was detected by ALP assay kit. Results The proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells was increased significantly 24h and 48h after mechanical strain treatment concomitant with increasing stretching force (P

Objective To investigate the cell morphology and immune phenotypic characteristics in Uygur and Han patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Methods Bone marrow smears of 67 cases diagnosed as MDS were systematicly observed and recorded,flow cytometry (FCM) was used to test the immunophenotyping.Results There were abnormal hematopoiesis in different extent in granulocyte series,erythron series and megakaryocytic series of all patients.Occurence of pathological hematopoietic performance in Uygur patients with MDS was similar to that in Han,granulocyte series [52 cases (77.6 ％)] ＞megakaryocytic series [44 cases (65.7 ％)] ＞ erythrocyte series [36 cases (53.7 ％)],the differences in two groups were not significant (x2 values 1.02,0.30,0.02,respectively,all P ＞ 0.05).The changes type of pathological hematopoietic performance in two groups were similar,single garden nuclear megakaryocyte [36 cases (53.7 ％)],false Pelger nuclear anomaly granulocyte [36 cases (53.7 ％)],erythroid gigantic young cell change [33 cases (49.3 ％)],granulocyte cell particles reduced or absent [27 cases (40.3 ％)] etc.The result of FCM showed that along with the progressive change of RA/RAS to RAEB/RAEB-t,the expression ratios of mature CD15 were decreased,while the expression ratios of early stage CD117 and CD34 were raised gradually (x2 values 6.23,12.06,8.95,7.37,8.95,8.08,respectively,all P ＜ 0.05),the differences in two groups were not significant (x2 values 0.715,0.024,0.146,respectively,all P ＞ 0.05).Meanwhile,Uygur patients with MDS has great expression of CD56 and Han had HLA-DR,there were significantly differences in two groups (x2 values 3.91 and 3.90,respectively,both P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Occurence of pathological hematopoietic performance in Uygur patients with MDS are similar to that in Han.Most MDSs has two or more levels of pathological hematopoietic performance.The differences of immunophenotype characteristics in two groups are partially significant and test of immunophenotype are helpful in the diagnosis,classification,prognosis of MDS.

0.05). At stage 2 to 3, the changes of point A was the greatest. Conclusion: Timing of headgear treatment based on the morphological variation of cervical vertebra can obtain the maximum desirable orthopedic effect.

Objective To evaluate the performance and feasibility of sentinel node biopsy(SNB) in male breast cancer patients using Methylthioninium Chloride Injection.Methods At the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,there are 11 patients in group from March 2010 to December 2014.The clinical stage was cT1-T2N0M0.All patients using Methylthioninium Chloride Injection as the tracer.11 patients are given with sentinel lymph node biopsy,while given the axillary lymph node dissection.Results In 11 cases of male breast cancer patients,10 cases obtained the sentinel lymph nodes,the detection rate was 90.9％ (10/11).The sentinel lymph node is in 1-3,the average is 1.7 gold.Non sentinel lymph nodes are in 8-14,the average is 10.5 gold.The coincidence rate is 90.0％ The sensitivity is 100％ and The precision is 60％.Conclusions Sentinel lymph node biopsy can accurately predict the metastasis of axillary lymph node of breast cancer in male patients.

The study included 24 patients of lung cancer with bone metastasis, 26 patients of lung cancer without bone metastasis and 27 healthy controls. The serum levels of β-crosslaps of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX), M-MID and urinary β-CTX/creatinine (CTX/CR) were measured by ELISA. Results showed that the serum levels of β-CTX and urinary CTX/CR in lung cancer patients with bone metastasis were significantly higher than those without bone metastasis (P ＜ 0. 01 ). The findings suggest that the measurement of serum β-CTX and urinary CTX/CR may indicate bone metastasis in lung cancer.

Objective To evaluate retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of primary aldosteronism. Methods Retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery was performed in 90 patients with primary aldosteronism (92 sites on either or both sides).Their clinical indicators were compared with those of 30 cases undergoing open surgery. Results Retroperitoneal laparoscopic procedures were successfully performed in 91 of the 92 sides.In these successful cases,mean operative time was 93 minutes (compared with 114 minutes in open surgery cases),mean volume of blood loss was 36 ml (compare with 87 ml),mean postoperative hospital stay was 6.8 d(compared with 11.0 d),mean time to flatus was 1.6 d (compared with 3.1 d),and mean time to walk around was 2.1 d(compared with 3.3 d), P

0.05).In the 16 cases,17 retroperitoneal laparoscopic excisions of pheochromocytoma were successful,only 1 was converted to open surgery due to intraoperative bleeding. The mean operative time was 85?31 (range,45 to 150) min in laparoscopic surgery group vs 155?39 (90 to 240) in open surgery group (P

Objective:To investigate the effects of strain force on t he expression of osteoclast differentiation factor(ODF) and osteoclasto-genesis i nhibitory factor(OCIF) in human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Met hods: HPDLCs were subjected to cyclic strain force for 0, 6, 12 and 24 h ours, mRNA expression of ODF and OCIF were determined by RT-PCR. Result s:After treatment of the cells for 0,6,12 and 24 hours the ODF/?-actio n values were 0.7280?0.0261,0.6831?0.0411,0.5801?0.2230 and 0.4572?0.0373( P0.05) respectively.Conclusion:Strain force may decrease the expression of ODF and increase the expression of OCIF.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for 3 patients with primary aldosteronism who previously underwent ipsilateral adrenal surgery or nephrectomy. Methods From October 2003 to March 2004,transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed on 3 male patients with primary aldosteronism,including 2 patients (39 and 72 years,respectively) who had previously undergone ipsilateral retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy for Conn’s adenoma and 1 patient (42 years) who had previously undergone ipsilateral open nephrectomy for renal tuberculosis. Results Transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy was successfully performed on all the 3 patients; no complication occurred.The mean tumor size was average 1.7 cm in greatest dimension;the mean operative time was average 93 min;the mean estimated blood loss was average 18 ml,and no one needed blood transfusion.The postoperative food intake time was average 17 h,and postoperative hospital stay was average 5.0 d. Conclusions Although scar and adhesion of previous operation may present more difficulties in the subsequent operation,it is feasible to perform transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy through different surgical access on the patients who have previously underwent ipsilateral retroperitoneal adrenal or nephric surgery.
