[Objective]To discuss the significance of tissue repairing and functional reconstruction in treatment of extremity malignant tumors by allogeneic bone graft and replanting devitalized bone after malignant bone tumor resection. [Method]A retrospective study of 56 patients with malignant bone tumor was conducted, including 35 male patients and 21 female patients. The age was between 9 and 60, with an average of 18.Tumor in 9 cases was in the proximal hunerus, 30 in the distal femur, and 17 in the proximal cnemis.Thirty-two cases were osteogenic sarcoma,17 cases were chondroma sarcomatosum,3 cases were maligant giant cell tumor of bone and 4 cases were metastatic.Soft tissue was repaired and extremity function was reconstructed by adopting allogeneic bone graft and replanting devitalized bone. Extremity functions, bone healing conditions, and complication were estimated according to Mankin metheds.[Result]Among these 56 patients,results in 20(35.7%) were excellent,11(19.6%) were good,8(14.3%) were fair,17 (30%) were poor. The satisfactory rate was 70%.Thirty-eight patients survived for two years without tumor.Thirty patients survived for 5 years with the survival rate of 55%. Except local relapsed, the major complications were infection (4 cases), fracture (3 cases),collapse of articular facet (1 cases), and arthrocleisis (5 cases),with the infection rate of 7%.No internal fixation was broken.[Conclusion]For extremity malignant tumor, effective tissue repairing and functional reconstruction not only offer a limb-sparing effect, but also keep the limb in good function. This is an effective method for bone malignant tumor.

Objective:To compare the models of guinea pig allergic rhinitis induced by different allergens. Methods: Ovalbumin (OVA), 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) and alternariaalternata was respectively used as the allergens to establish the model of guinea pigs allergic rhinitis. The conformity of the models and human allergic rhinitis was studied through the behavioral indices, such as the times of nose itches, nasal discharge flow, histological properties and serum HA and IgE indices. Results:The times of sneezing and scratching nose, serum HA and IgE in OVA group was significantly different from those in the control group (P<0. 001 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:The models of allergic rhinitis induced by OVA are the same as allergic rhinitis in typical symptoms and pathological changes.

BACKGROUND:A large amount of studies have confirmed that synovial mesenchymal stem cells have the similarity in cellmorphology, immune phenotype, colony forming ability and differentiation potential with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. But bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are better than synovial mesenchymal stem cells in the ability to differentiate into cartilages. OBJECTIVE:To discuss the possibility of using synovial mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells for meniscal tissue engineering. METHODS:The synovial mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from rabbit synovial tissues with limiting dilution monoclonal culture method, and then the cells were purified. The morphology, ultrastructure, molecular phenotype, proliferation kinetics, karyotype and tumorigenicity of the in vitro cultured cells were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The synovial mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the rabbit synovial cells had high proliferation capacity during in vitro monolayer culture. The synovial mesenchymal stem cells grew to peak at 6 days, and the doubling time was (30.2±2.4) hours. Flow cytometry results showed the synovial mesenchymal stem cells could express some molecular makers of mesenchymal stem cells, such as CD44 and CD90. DNA contents check, karyotype test and oncogenicity test confirmed isolated and purified synovial mesenchymal stem cells were the normal diploid cells without tumorigenicity, so the cells can be used as seed cells for meniscal tissue engineering.

BACKGROUND:Smal intestinal submucosa is characterized as antimicrobial activity, good biocompatibility, bio-mechanical properties, and rapid degradation in vivo, similar to the extracellular matrix of meniscal
fibrochondrocytes.
OBJECTIVE:To observe whether there exists a good histocompatibility between smal intestinal submucosa and synovial mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:Smal intestinal submucosa was treated with physical and chemical treatment. And hematoxylin-eosin staining and scanning electron microscopy observation were performed. Then, smal intestinal submucosa extracts were prepared for the fol owing experiments. (1) Pyrogenic test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts were injected into the ear vein of New Zealand white rabbits. (2) Skin sensitization test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts, paraformaldehyde solution and normal saline were respectively injected intradermal y into New Zealand white rabbits. (3) General toxicity test:smal intestinal submucosa extracts and normal saline were respectively injected into the ear vein of New Zealand white rabbits. Smal intestinal submucosa was co-cultured with osteogenic rabbit synovial mesenchymal stem cells, and smal intestinal submucosa cultured alone served as control. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were some intestinal mucosal epithelial cells, fat cells and other cells adhered onto the surface of smal intestinal submucosa after physical treatment. While, the amount of residual cells decreased sharply after chemical treatment. But the main structure and the component had not been changed. The surface of smal intestinal submucosa was smooth and no cells remained, and there was a three-dimension network spatial structure. The porosity was 80%. Smal intestinal submucosa is a non-toxic, nonirritating, non-immunogenic biomaterial with very good biocompatibility, which has a good histocompatibility with rabbit synovial mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of three-dimensional conformal intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with oxaliplatin plus capecitabine chemotherapy upon the postoperative median survival time of patients diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer. Methods A total of 74 patients with advanced gastric cancer admitted to Linyi Central Hospital from February 2010 to January 2012 were recruited and divided into the postoperative chemotherapy group (n＝37) and postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group (n＝37) according to the treatment plan. All patients in two groups were treated with laparoscopic D2radical operation. In the postoperative chemotherapy group, patients were treated with oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine. In the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, patients were treated with oxaliplatin combined with capecitabine plus three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.In both groups, 4 cycles of chemotherapy were delivered. The incidence of adverse reactions, median progression-free survival, median overall survival, and 1-, 3-and 5-year recurrence rate and mortality rate were statistically compared between two groups. Results In the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, the incidence rate of bone marrow suppression ( 41%), abnormal liver function ( 30%), nausea and vomiting (30%) and neutropenia ( 46%) did not significantly differ from 35%, 35%, 24% and 41% in the postoperative chemotherapy group ( all P＞0. 05).In the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, the median progression-free survival and median overall survival were significantly longer compared with those in the postoperative chemotherapy group (both P＜0. 05).The 1-, 3-and 5-year recurrence rates were 8%, 14%and 16% in the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, significantly lower than 32%, 41% and 46% in the postoperative chemotherapy group ( all P＜0. 05).The mortality rate was 11%( 4/37) in the postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy group, which was significantly lower than 30%(11/37) in the postoperative chemotherapy group ( P＜0. 05 ). Conclusions Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with oxaliplatin plus capecitabine chemotherapy can effectively prolong the median survival, reduce the recurrence rate and does not enhance the risk of adverse events for patients with advanced gastric cancer.

The cluster sampling method was used and a retrospective survey on mortality trends of cerebrovascular diseases from 1989 to 2008 was conducted among residents from Erqi District in Zhengzhou city and Xigong District in Luoyang city. The average mortality rate of cerebrovascular diseases in these two districts was 69. 5/100 000 in 1989 to 2008. The standardized mortality rate for men was 118. 67/100 000 in 1989 to 1993, and dropped to 44. 23/100 000 in 2004 to 2008. The standardized mortality rate for women was 68.21/100 000 in 1989 to 1993, and dropped to 30. 2/100 000 in 2004 to 2008. The declining trends of cerebrovascular disease mortality rates might be related to early diagnosis and early treatment of the disease, and the extensive health education and prevention programs.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the results of endoscopic screening of esophageal, gastric cardiac and gastric cancers in the high-risk population, and analyze the influencing factors such as age, gender and biopsy rate on their detection and early diagnosis rates.

METHODSNine high incidence cities and counties of esophageal cancer in Henan province were included in this study. People aged 40-69 years were set to the target population. Excluding contraindications for gastroscopy, in accordance with the national technical scheme of early cancer diagnosis and treatment, gastroscopic screening and biopsy pathology for human esophageal, cardiac and gastric cancers were carried out.

RESULTSDuring the 3-year period, a total of 40 156 subjects were screened. Among them, 18 459 cases of various precancerous lesions (46.0%) were detected. The cancer detection rate was 2.3% (916 cases), including 763 cases of early cancers. The diagnosis rate of early cancers was 83.3%. Precancerous lesions were detected in 9297 cases (23.2%) for esophagus and 9162 cases (22.8%) for gastric cardia as well as stomach, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSThe results of this study demonstrate that endoscopic screening is feasible for early detection, diagnosis and treatment of esophageal, gastric cardia and gastric cancers among high risk population in high incidence area. Exploration analysis of relevant affecting factors may help to further improve the screening project for early diagnosis and treatment of those cancers.
