Objective To investigate the changes of serum protein fingerprint in patients with lung cancer with deep venous thrombosis.Methods Eighteen case patients with lung cancer were selected,including 8 case of lung cancers with thrombosis and 10 cases of lung cancers with no thrombosis.Surface enhanced laser desorption ionization protein-time of flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS) was used to analyze serum protein content of two groups in the same mass to charge ratios(M/Z),then drew the protein peaks that content difference was statistically significant.Results The M/Z of lung cancer with thrombus group and control group were 5911,1216,4187,1019,4293,the protein peaks had significant differences between the two group (43.81±7.74,6.37±5.02,2.97±0.35,35.96± 12.10,9.65±4.37;15.35± 12.69,2.06±0.37,4.67± 1.35,15.94±6.47,14.65±8.80;t =5.334,4.800,2.981,4.639,4.596;P＜ 0.05).Compared with the control group,the decrease of protein peak M/Z were 5911,1019,1216,and the increase of protein peak M/Z were 4293,4187 in the deep venous thrombosis group.Conclusion In the serum of patients with tumors SELDI profiles M/Z are 5911,4293,4187,1019,1216 of SELDI protein fingerprinting can be considered in patients with thrombosis of tumor specific markers.

Objective Exploration of TSH, FT3, FT4 changes in critical condition prior to death.Methods 84 patients that were anti-tumor therapy acceptable and not associated with the treatment of thyroid disease in patients with terminal tumors. Age from 24 to 85-year-old, male 56, female 28. The use of SELDI technology (surface-enhanced laser description / ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry protein chip technology) checks to M/Z for the 11 100 + H～11 900 + H peak of the cluster, divided into the positive group for critically ill patients with early warning protein (LGT) and the negative group for it. All patients were given TSH, FT3, FT4 inspection. The results were statistically analyzed. Results TSH, FT3, FT4 in the LGT positive group was significantly lower than in the negative LGT group. There was no correlation between TSH,FT3 and FT4 in the LGT positive group;In the negative LGT group FT3 and FT4 had a positive correlation,and FT3 and TSH no relevance. Conclusion Thyroid function is normal in the stage of cancer patients stable condition. Possible pituitary-hypothyroidism may occur as the disease advances to the end or before death.This may be an important factor causing the acceleration to the death of the patients. However, the cause and effect between this phenomenon and the early warning of protein fingerprint group(LGT) is still not clear. In critical condition checking thyroid function and render supplementary amount of thyroid hormone in accordance with the checking results may be beneficial.

Objective To observe the morphology of ethanol-wet dentin surfaces and detect their nano-scale adhesion force (Fad) by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in order to explore the potential mechanism of ethanol-wet bonding in improving clinical dentin bonding effectiveness.Methods Dentin slices from human premolar roots were prepared into flat ones, polished, and then randomly divided into five groups.All the specimens were acid-etched, rinsed, and left moist.They were then treated with 100％ ethanol for 0s (control group), 20s, 60s, 3×60s, or stepwise ethanol application.Afterwards, each group was scanned for the morphology in air and the Fad was probed by AFM.One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey`s test was employed for multiple comparisons using SPSS16.0.Results Compared with control group, ethanol-wet dentine produced a less undulating and relatively smooth surface topography.Ethanol-wet protocol significantly decreased the value of Fad in the experimental groups (P<0.001), in which 3×60s and stepwise ethanol application groups showed the lowest Fad.No difference was found between these two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion When using AFM in air, ethanol-wet protocol with longer time can produce a less undulating and relatively smooth surface topography and decrease the Fad, whichindicates that the water saturated in dentin matrix was replaced more thoroughly by longer ethanol application time.This will benefit hydrophobicity of the dentin bonding interface.

Objective To study whether 3D computerized pre?operative planning is accuracy and reliability in CroweⅣtype developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods Between September 2009 and February 2011, 20 CroweⅣtype DDH patients (20 hips) were included in this study. The 3D pre?operative planning was performed using Mimics software to predict the acetabular component size, acetabular component abduction angle, hip rota?tion center position, the acetabular component coverage and number of patients received structural bone graft. The results were compared with traditional acetate templating technique and post?operative results. Results 70%(14/20) components were pre?dicted exactly and 30%(6/20) components were predicted with one size using 3D computerized planning, comparing with 25%(5/20) components were exactly, 45%(9/20) components were with one size and 30%(6/20) were with two size or more using conven?tional acetate templating technique. Statistically analysis revealed that 3D planning was more accuracy than templating technique regarding acetabular component prediction (t=-4.66, P=0.00). There was no significant difference between the 3D computerized planned acetabular component abduction angle (3D plan 41.10°±4.87°, postoperative 44.98°±10.83°, t=0.88, P=0.42), hip rota?tion center distance (horizontal distance:3D plan 77.51 ± 7.78 mm, postoperative 79.85 ± 8.61 mm, t=-1.95, P=0.11;vertical dis?tance:3D plan 42.79±8.22 mm, postoperative 44.98±10.83 mm, t=-1.27, P=0.26), acetabular component host coverage (3D plan 77.73%± 10.51%, postoperative 78.98%± 10.24%, t=-1.84, P=0.09), and that found post?operatively. Five patients were consid?ered to need structural bone graft according to 3D computerized planning, which was highly coincident with the intraoperative find?ings in all five cases. Conclusion 3D computerized pre?operative planning using Mimics software is an accurate and reliable technique in treating CroweⅣtype DDH patients undergoing THA.
