Objective:To explore the mechanism of the embolism and sclerotherapy of fibrin glue combined with bleomycin (FG/BLM) for the treatment of cervicofacial vascular malformations by color doppler ultrasound.Methods:10 patients with venous malformation(VM) and 10 patients with arterio-venous malformation(AVM) were included.All patients underwent embolism and sclerotherapy of FG/BLM guided by ultrasound.Color doppler ultrasound was used to record the real-time two-dimensional ultrasonography and color doppler image.The flow and distribution of FG/BLM after injection into the lesions were observed.Results:Two-dimensional ultrasonography showed clumps or flake strong echo after immediate injection of FG/BLM into the cavity of VMs,then floated in the abnormal venous lumen and diffused throughout the cavity.At the later stage the lesions were filled by a large number of flocculent and netted low echo,and patchy strong echo.The volume of VMs cavity expanded dramaticlly,and the blood flow signal was significantly decreased.After injection of FG/BLM into the lumen of AVMs,clumps or flake strong echo were observed,then most of the snowflake strong echo rapidly filled or scattered along with blood stream to the distal part of the vessels.The color doppler showed significantly decrease of blood flow signal.Conclusion:FG/BLM injection can embolize and block the draining vein of VM,and play a role on the storage of sclerozing agent.FG/BLM injection can embolize both the dilated blood vessels and capillary network of AVM.

The basic stress pathway above the acetabular dome is important for the maintenance of implant stability in acetabular reconstruction of total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to describe the basic stress pathway to provide evidence for clinical acetabular reconstruction guidance of THA. A subject-specific finite element (FE) model was developed from CT data to generate 3 normal hip models and a convergence study was conducted to determine the number of pelvic trabecular bone material properties using 5 material assignment plans. In addition, in the range of 0 to 20 mm above the acetabular dome, the models were sectioned and the stress pathway was defined as two parts, i.e., 3D, trabecular bone stress distribution and quantified cortical bone stress level. The results showed that using 100 materials to define the material property of pelvic trabecular bone could assure both the accuracy and efficiency of the FE model. Under the same body weight condition, the 3D trabecular bone stress distributions above the acetabular dome were consistent, and especially the quantified cortical bone stress levels were all above 20 MPa and showed no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). Therefore, defining the basic stress pathway above the acetabular dome under certain body weight condition contributes to design accurate preoperative plan for acetabular reconstruction, thus helping restore the normal hip biomechanics and preserve the stability of the implants.

Objective: To explore the relationship between expressions of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors and syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in gastric carcinoma and to establish prognostic indicators for gastric carcinoma. Methods: A total of 72 patients with gastric carcinoma were divided into six groups according to TCM syndrome differentiation. Specimens were collected after operation and ER and PR protein expressions were detected by EnVision immunohistochemical method. Results: The common syndromes in female patients with gastric carcinoma were disharmony between liver and stomach, yin impairment due to stomach heat, and insufficiency of both qi and blood; while in males, interior retention of stagnant toxin, interior retention of phlegm and dampness, and deficiency-cold in spleen and stomach were common. Different TCM syndromes were related with gender (P<0.01), pathology (P<0.01), cell differentiation (P<0.05), infiltration depth (P<0.01), lymphaden metastasis (P<0.05), distant metastasis (P<0.05), and TNM stage (P<0.01). Deficiency and excess syndromes were associated with gender (P<0.05), pathology (P<0.05), tumor location (P<0.01) and TNM stage (P<0.05). The deficiency syndromes were common in female patients. The total positive rates of ER and PR expressions were 8.33% and 37.5% respectively. There was a significant difference in PR expression among different TCM syndromes (P<0.01). PR expression was significantly higher in the syndrome of yin deficiency due to stomach heat than in the other syndromes. The PR expressions in deficiency syndromes were significantly higher than those in excess syndromes (P<0.01). No correlation was found between ER expression and different TCM syndromes. Conclusion: There is a correlation between PR expression and different TCM syndromes in gastric carcinoma.

Background and purpose:The effective rate of ifrst-line chemotherapy for advanced lung cancer is 30%-40%. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efifcacy and adverse effects of pemetrexed combined with carboplatin or cisplatin in the treatment of patients with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:One hundrend and twenty-one patients with advanced non-squamous NSCLC were enrolled in this study and all of these patients had been conifrmed with pathology or cytology. Among the 121 cases, 60 cases were male and 61 were female, the median age was 59 years, adnenocarcinoma in 113 patients and large cell carcinoma in 8 patients. Combination regimen: patients received pemetrexed 500 mg/m2 on day 1 and carboplatin 300 mg/m2 or cisplatin 70 mg/m2 on day 1 by intravenous infusion, administrated every 3 weeks for 2 to 6 cycles. All patients who received 2 or more cycles could be evaluated. Disease control rate (DCR) was the primary end point; secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), 1-year survival rate and safety.Results:There was 1 case with complete response (CR), 44 cases achieved partial response (PR), 50 had stable disease (SD) and 26 cases had progressive disease (PD) in the overall cases. ORR and DCR were 37.2% (45/121) and 78.5% (95/121), respectively. The median PFS time was 5.2 months and 1-year survival rate was 59.0%. In pemetrexed combined with carboplatin group, the ORR and DCRwere 38.3% (23/60) and 78.3% (47/60), respectively; The median PFS was 5.1 months (95%CI: 3.8-6.4 month) and 1-year survival rate was 55.2%. The patients treated with pemetrexed plus cisplatin, the ORR and DCR were 36.1% (22/61) and 78.7% (48/61), respectively. Median PFS was 6.2 months (95%CI: 4.3-8.1 month) and 1-year survival rate was 62.5%. There were no statistical differences between carboplatin/pemetrexed and cisplatin/pemetrexed for both ORR, DCR, PFS and 1-year survival rate (P>0.05). The major adverse effects were leukopenia, neutropenia, fatigue and gastrointestinal reaction.Conclusion:Pemetrexed plus platinum chemotherapy could be considered as the ifrst-line treatment option for advanced non-squamous NSCLC patients. Pemetrexed combined with carboplatin/ cisplatin regimen has efifcacy with mild toxicity and better tolerability.

The study was aimed to investigate the strategy of transfusion of allogeneic hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HS/PC) into marrow cavity of mouse model in sensitized transplantation. A sensitized BALB/c mouse model was established by repeated transfusion of allogeneic spleen cells. The normal BALB/c mice were used as non-sensitized controls. The non-sensitized or sensitized recipients were transplanted by transfusion of allogeneic HS/PCs into bone marrow cavity. The survival rate and hematopoietic recovery were monitored. Moreover, non-sensitized and sensitized sera were obtained and incubated with allogeneic HS/PC respectively, the percentage of dead cells was calculated using complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) tests. The results showed that non-sensitized recipients got long-term survival after the transfusion of HS/PC into marrow cavity, and the hematopoietic recovery increased along with time. However, among the sensitized recipients, one mouse died of anesthetic accident, the other 9 mice (9/10) died within 2 weeks after the transfusion of HS/PC in marrow cavity, and the hematopoietic recovery declined along with time. Histopathologic analysis demonstrated that the sensitized recipients died of bone marrow failure. The results of CDC tests showed that the percentage of dead cells in non-sensitized and sensitized group was 7.80 ± 1.93% and 50.80 ± 3.12%, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05), indicating sensitized sera were capable of impairing allogeneic HS/PC. It is concluded that the strategy of the marrow cavity transfusion of HS/PC can not enhance engraftment of allogeneic donor cells in sensitized recipients.

OBJECTIVETo compare the image quality of T grain green sensitive film (TML-1) and Lanex Gd(2)O(2)S rare earth intensifying screen with that of XK-1 blue sensitive film and calcium tungstate (CaWO(4)) intensifying screen, and to study the application of T grain technic to the diagnosis of lung diseases.
METHODS160 coal miners were randomly selected to take both TML-1 and XK-1 chest film of high kV radiographs at the same time. Silver halide granule, fluorescence of intensifying screen, radiographic parameters, the density at different points in the lung and chest radiographs were observed.
RESULTSSilver grains in TML-1 film were more homogeneous in distribution than in XK-1 film. Luminous intensity of Lanex Gd(2)O(2)S rare earth intensifying screen was brighter than CaWO(4) intensifying screen in the same exposure. The exposure doses of TML-1 film was reduced to one third of XK-1 film. The density of chest radiographs was 0.24 to 2.74 in TML-1 film, and 0.30 to 2.60 in XK-1 film. There were greater exposure latitude and more informations in TML-1 film. By apertured-disc observation, the fine structure of lung in TML-1 film was clearer than in XK-1 film, the shape was more concrete and reliable, visualizability was stronger.
CONCLUSIONT grain technique may obviously improve the clearness and resolution of image, and enhance the transmission of information, as well as increase the diagnostic informations.
