Objective To detect serum protein spectrum in gastric cancer, screen the serum proteins related to gastric carcinoma and build auxiliary diagnosis model with SELDI-TOF-MS, Methods The serum proteomic fingerprints were detected by SELDI-TOF-MS and CM10 proteinchip. The sera came from 50 first visit gastric cancer patients who were diagnosed by pathological method and 16 healthy peo- ple. The data were analyzed by Biomarker Wizard Software and the proteomic fingerprint of gastric carcinoma model was developed by BPS (biomarker pattern software). Results Compared with the healthy people group, there were 34 significant different protein peaks in the gas- tric carcinoma group. And the diagnosis model composed with 6 proteins (M/Z values were 6016, 6744, 2822, 4474, 7892 and 3242) could classify the 2 groups correctly. In the test group, the sensitivity and specificity were 96% and 93.75% respectively, the accuracy was 95.45%. Conclusion SELDI-TOF-MS method show features such as microcontent, fast and high- resolution etc. It could be utilized to screen significant proteins and develop an auxiliary diagnosis model in gastric carcinoma, which may be used to diagnose this disease.

BACKGROUND: Donor complications have been detected following autologous tendon transplantation for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Although artificial tendon development and tissue-engineered tendon have achieved great progresses, there are some issues in clinical application. Since 1980's, allogenic tendon transplantation has aroused increasing attention. OBJECTIVE: To explore the selection of allogenic tendon materials and the effect of their application on reconstructing posterior cruciate ligament. METHODS: A total of 17 patients with posterior cruciate ligament injury of knee joint were treated with cryopreserved allogenic tendon by Tibial-inlay technique. During the operation, two tracts of tendons soaked in gentamicin saline for 15 minutes were conduplicated, and one end of the tendon was cancellous bone screw and fixed to the tibia attachment point of posterior cruciate ligament, and the other end was introduced into the joint through retention suture. The posterior joint capsule was repaired. The patient was placed at supine position, and the knee was flexed for 90°. The other end of the graft was introduced to femoral tunnel, and anterior drawer was tensed, and fixed by screw. RESULTS AND CONCLUSlN: The preoperative posterior drawer test of patients was >2+, including 7 cases of 3+ and 6 of 4+. The postoperative posterior drawer test was 0 in 4 cases, 1+ in 8 cases, 2+ in 4 cases and 3+ in 1 case, suggesting the posterior movement of the knee joint was significantly improved. Lysholm scores of patients were (48.5±4.3) points before operation and (88.3±5.4) points after operation. Results show that cryopreserved allogenic tendon by Tibial-inlay technique could restored function of posterior cruciate ligament with a favorable effect.

Objective To investigate the clinical values of laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation in liver cancer and its impacts on serumal VEGF and MMP-2. Method From Jan, 2012 to Dec, 2013, a series of patients with primary liver cancer were studied, patients were randomly signed into LAFA group or control group. During the study period, LRFA group were treated with laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation combined with FOLFOX4 chemotherapy while patients in control group were treated with PIAF chemotherapy only. The primary outcomes were the Health related quality of life score (HRQL), the degree of solid tumors classification, progression-free survival duration and 2-year mortality. The secondly primary outcomes included the level of serumal VEGF and MMP-2. Result When compared with the control group, patients in LRFA group got a significantly lower rate of disease progression (28.33 % vs 50.00 %, P = 0.015); a longer progression-free survival duration (500 vs 380 d, P = 0.013); a higher HRQL (80.33 ± 5.84 vs 65.87 ± 9.59, P = 0.000); a significantly lower level of VEGF at 7 days, 14 days, 28 days and 6 months after the clinical intervention were started (all P values were 0.000); a significantly lower level of MMP-2 at 14 days, 28 days and 6 months after the clinical intervention were started (the P values were 0.003, 0.001 and 0.000). Conclusion Laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation improved the long-term clinical outcomes and decreased the serumal level of VEGF and MMP-2.

Objective To approach a semi-quantitative diagnostic criteria of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) by comprehensive scoring, including history, clinical manifestation and laboratory data,which can be used for early diagnosis,severity grading and the institution of therapy.Methods We analyzed history, clinical manifestation and some parameters of laboratory data,and established criteria for scoring and grading,and compared this grading with the grading determined by clinical data and follow-up,which brought forward a semi-quantitative diagnostic criteria, and applied this criteria to other 41 patients with HIE to test its reliability.Results The grading criteria were established as the following:if total score ≥20.0,the patient was graded as severe one;total score between 10.5-19.5, moderate one; between 5.5-10.0,mild one;≤5.0,non-HIE one. The scoring system was used in other 41 patients with HIE,the specificity and sensitivity were 100% and 96 .9%,97.2% and 100%,100% and 100%, respectively.Conclusions For severe HIE cases who are not permitted to receive compated tomography(CT) examination or no CT can be used, this scoring system can be used to diagnoze HIE and grade the severity. This method is simple and easy to perform.Both specificity and sensitivity are high for diagnosis and severity judgment of HIE.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the therapeutic effects of percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) with degenerative scoliosis.

METHODSFrom March 2009 to March 2014,121 patients undergoing PKP for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) with degenerative scoliosis were retrospective analyzed. There were 41 males and 80 females,ranging in age from 56 to 92 years with an average of 73.2 years. Preoperative and postoperative 3 d respectively pain visual analogue scale (visual analogue score, VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index assessed pain and functional recovery of patients and preoperative and postoperative 3 d lumbar lordosis, scoliosis Cobb angle were analyzed.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 6 to 24 months, with a mean time of 11 months. All the patients achieved success in operation without serious complications. The operation time ranged from 30 to 65 min with an average of 42.2 min. Local leakage of bone cement was not found in canal. The VAS and Oswestry Disability Index at the 3rd day after operation decreased significantly compared with those of the preoperative (P < 0.05), and the lumbar lordosis and scoliosis Cobb angle also improved significantly compared with those of the preoperative (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONPercutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) for the treatment of thoracolumbar scoliosis osteoporotic fracture can significantly improve patients spinal deformity, pain relief, which is worth of recommending.
