ObjectiveTo study the characteristics of nonfunctioning parathyroid cysts (NFPTC) for its diagnosis and treatment.Methods 5 cases of NFPTC were hospitalized during 1985～1999. The clinical features, serum calcium evaluation ultrasonography and nuclide scanning were performed. Postoperative pathologic and immunihistochemistry detection in NFPTC were made.ResultsTumours in the 5 cases were removed by operation and diagnosis was verified by pathology. Tumors were all positive for chromogranin A (CgA),synaptophysin(Syn),and neuron specific enolase(NSE). Follow up found no recurrence. ConclusionsSurgical resection is most effective in treating NFPTC and diagnosis is made by pathologic examination.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of family rehabilitation plan (FRP) on motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods64 patients were randomly divided into the FRP group (32 cases) and control group (32 cases). The patients in the FRP group critically followed the schedule and activities scheduled on FRP and were assessed and guided in out-patient department every two weeks. The patients in the control group made schedule and carried on activities by themselves. Motor function was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) respectively.ResultsMotor scores of the patients in two groups significantly increased after treatment ( P<0.001), and that of the FRP group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.001).ConclusionThe FRP can significantly improve motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To investigate the bone marrow supernatant expression of sclerostin in the patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and to clarify its clinical signification .Methods The sclerostin level was quantified by using ELISA ,and the gene expression of sclerostin was determined by RT-PCR .Results The sclerostin level was (0 .54 ± 0 .21)pg/mL in the MM group ,which was sig-nificantly higher than (0 .31 ± 0 .06)pg/mL in the control group (t=5 .67 ,P<0 .01) .The sclerostin level was (0 .65 ± 0 .17) pg/mL in the recurrent and refractory MM group ,which was significantly higher than (0 .47 ± 0 .21) pg/mL in the control group and the newly diagnosed group (t=8 .44 ,3 .27 ,P<0 .01) ,RT-PCR verified that the BMMNC of most patients expressed sclerostin gene .The expression of sclerostin in the MM group was negatively correlated with alkaline phosphatase (ALP)(r= -0 .379 ,P=0 .005) ,and positively related with the correction blood calcium ,bone loss points ,serum β2-micro globulin(β2-GM ) ,proportion of serum M protein and clinical International Staging System (ISS) stages .The median follow-up periods were 29(6-65) months ,the low sclerostin group had the median survival period of 48(6-65) months and the high sclerostin group had the median survival pe-riod of 24(6-52) months ,the difference between them had statistical significance (χ2 = 12 .74 ,P< 0 .01) .Conclusion Its level may reflect the bone destruction ,osteogenesis inhibition degree and myeloma burden ,and reflect the median survival period of MM patients to some extent .

Objective To explore the changes and significances of platelet granule membrane protein-140 (GMP-140),GMP-140 in plasma,PAdT and PAgT in patients with acute cerebral infarction.Methods The platelet GMP-140 was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) competitive method and GMP-140 in plasma by ELISA double antibody method in blood collecting in 3 d and 2 weeks after onset in large(n=22),small(n=25) size and lacuna (n=20) cerebral infarction groups.Results The platelet GMP-140,GMP-140 in plasma,PAdT and PAgT in large cerebral infarction group in 3 d after onset were much higher than control group (P<0.001),and the small size and lacuna groups were higher (P<0.05～0.001) than control but lower than large group (P<0.05).There was no differences between the small and lacuna groups (P>0.05).The PAdT and PAgT in 3 groups were higher (P<0.01).The platelet GMP-140 and GMP-140 in plasma in all 3 groups in 2 weeks after onset had been clearly lower but still higher than control group (P<0.05),the PAdT and PAgT were normal or even more lower.Conclusion Platelet activation was significant in different types acute cerebral infarction,the concentration of GMP-140 in plasma can reflect the degree of platelets activities more well and truly than PAdT and PAgT.

Objective To observe the effect of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody on anti-GBM nephritis rats. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group Ⅰ was a negative control and was injected with healthy human IgG via the caudal vein. Control group Ⅱ was injected with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody only. Anti- GBM nephritis group was injected with human anti-GBM antibody via the caudal vein only. Intervention group Ⅰ was injected with human anti-GBM antibody via the caudal vein and then with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody at day 7. Intervention group Ⅱ was injected with human antiGBM antibody via the caudal vein and then with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody at day 14. The blood, urine and kidney tissue were collected at day 7, 14, 21 for analysis of 24-hour urinary protein, BUN, Ser and histological study. Results At day 21, there were significant decreases in intervention group Ⅰ compared with anti-GBM nephritis group in 24-hour proteinuria [(16.62±5.53) g], BUN[(11.53±2.26) mmol/L] and Scr [(102.46±16.86) μmol/L] (P＜0.05), and also in intervention group Ⅱ as compared to anti-GBM nephritis group, but no significant difference was found (P＞0.05) . There was obvious decrease of renal cell proliferation,crescent formation and deposition of immune complexes in intervention group Ⅰ and intervention group Ⅱ compared with anti-GBM nephritis group, while such improvement in intervention group Ⅰ was more significant. There was no significant change in control group Ⅰ and control group Ⅱ.Conclusion The early application of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibodies can effectively improve the kidney lesions of anti-GBM nephritis rats.

Objective: To research effect of different doses of Changle on the structure and function of rat liver.Methods: 180 healthy Wistar rats were divided into 5 experimental groups according following doses: 0.1,0.2,2.0,10.0 and 20.0 mg*kg-1,respectively, and the control group given physiological saline for six months. The changes of liver structure were examined by means of normal histological chemistry and transmission electron microscope(TEM). Results: The body weight of animal was linearly increased with the decrease of administered doses, gradual reduction of glycogen in hepatocytes and infiltration of inflammatory cells in the portal area were found in the group of 20.0 mg*kg-1. Changes of ultrastructure showed there were dense bodies and lysosomes containing dense granules in Kupffer cell and hepatocyte,and they were increased along with doses adding. Nuclei deformed, ALP and GPT in serum were rose in the group of 20.0 mg*kg-1. Different doses of Changle could lead to distinct biological effects. Conclusion: Long-termed administration of 20.0 mg*kg-1 Changle can lead to damage of structure and function of rat liver.

Objective To compare the clinical effect of digital orthopedic three-dimensional visualization technology combined with image-based computer navigation and simple image-based computer navigation for percutaneous screw fixation of acetabulum anterior column fractures.Methods A retrospectivecase-control analysis was made on 19 cases undergone percutaneous screw fixation of acetabular anterior column fractures under image-based computer navigation from January 2015 to 2016 March.There were 12 males and 7 females,aged from 21 to 66 years (mean,39.3 years).AO fracture classification was A3 type in 17 cases and B1 type in 2.Based on the application of three-dimensional digital programming,the cases were assigned to two groups:group A (n =9),virtual three-dimensional model was reconstructed and the virtual screw were inserted to uninjured side by software Mimics and group B (n =10),patients were only prepared for routine preoperative preparation.Time of anterior column screw insertion,intraoperative bleeding,intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,fracture reduction and Majeed score were compared between the two groups.Results All cases were followed up for mean 8.4 months (range,3-12 months).There were no significant differences between groups A and group B in iutraoperative bleeding [(14.1 ± 3.0) ml,(15.1 ± 2.2) ml],good to excellent rate of reduction (89％,80％),good to excellent rate of Majeed score (89％,80％) (P ＞ 0.05).Time of anterior column screw insertion [(22.4-± 3.4) min] and intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency [(24.9 ± 3.8)times] in group A were significantly less than those[(29.4 ± 4.5)min,(30.5 ± 5.8)times] in group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Digital orthopedic three-dimensional visualization technology is associated with shortened time of anterior column screw insertion and reduced intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency,indicating an effective adjuvant technique for percutaneous screw fixation of acetabulum anterior column under navigation.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of narrow band-ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) alone or in combination with interferon-alpha-2b (INF-alpha-2b) for mycosis fungoides (MF),and to assess the correlation between the therapeutic effect and peripheral blood regulatory T (Treg)/T helper type 17 (Th 17) cells.Methods Thirty-three patients with stage ⅠA to ⅡA MF were randomly divided into two groups:NB-UVB group (n =15) receiving NB-UVB radiation alone,combined group (n =18) treated with NB-UVB radiation and intramuscular injection of INF-alpha-2b.Ten healthy volunteers were selected as the control group.Peripheral blood samples were collected before and 9 months after the start of treatment.Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentages of Treg cells and Th17 cells.Statistical analysis was carried out by using t test,one-way analysis of variance,and Fisher's exact test.Results The average treatment duration was 9 months among these patients.Therapeutic outcomes were significantly better in the combined group than in the NB-UVB group (P =0.023).Among the 15 patients in the NB-UVB group,6 achieved complete remission,3 partial remission,6 showed no response;of the 18 patients in the combined group,12 experienced complete remission,5 partial remission,and 1 showed no response.Before the treatment,the percentages of both Treg and Th17 cells in peripheral blood were significantly higher in the NB-UVB group and combined group than in the control group (both P ＜ 0.05),but similar between the NB-UVB group and combined group (both P ＞ 0.05).After the treatment,the percentages of both Treg and Th17 cells in the NB-UVB group and combined group significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment,but were still higher than those in the control group (both P ＜ 0.05).Additionally,the degree of decrease in the percentages of Treg and Th17 cells was significantly greater in the combined group than in the NB-UVB group (both P＜ 0.05).The seven patients with no response also showed a significant decrease in the percentage of Treg cells (P ＜ 0.05),but no obvious changes in that of Th 17 cells (P ＞ 0.05) after the treatment.Conclusions The therapeutic effect of NB-UVB radiation combined with intramuscular INF-alpha-2b is superior to that of NB-UVB radiation alone for MF,which may be associated with the degree of decrease in peripheral blood Treg and Th 17 cells.
