Objective To systematically assess the relationship between oral administration of aspirin and survival benefit for patients with colorec?tal cancer(CRC)by meta?analysis. Methods Relevant studies were identified through searching PubMed and EMBASE. Random?effects model was derived to composite the pooled hazard ratio for overall mortality and CRC?specific mortality. The subgroup analysis was conducted for included data,and the bias analysis was reported. Results Thirteen studies on aspirin therapy were finally included in this meta?analysis. The overall surviv?al benefit associated with oral administration of aspirin represented an HR of 0.83(95%CI:0.71?0.96). Oral administration of aspirin was also asso?ciated with CRC?specific survival(HR=0.77,95%CI:0.64?0.93). No evidence was observed of an association between prediagnostic aspirin use and CRC overall survival(HR=1.00,95%CI:0.85?1.18)or CRC?specific survival(HR=0.97,95%CI:0.83?1.13). Conclusion These findings provide further indication that post?diagnostic aspirin therapy can improve CRC prognosis.

Objective To observe the preemptive analgesia effects of katamine and elonidine, and to find out the influence of preemptive on stress responses. Methods 36 patients with hysteromyoma undergone hysteromyomec-tomy were randomly assigned to three groups (n = 12 each group) :group Ⅰ , control group, without preemptive analge-sia,the patients in control group were given continous epidural analgesia with 2% lidoeaine 12 - 14ml. Group Ⅱ ,the patients were injected 0. 6mg/kg katamine into epidural analgesia 30 minutes before operation. Group Ⅲ,the patients were injected 0. 6mg/kg katamine and 1.5μg/kg clonidine into epidural analgesia 30 minutes before operation. The patients in three groups were recorded VAS score on 2h ,4h ,6h, 12h ,24h after operation, also recorded the change of epinephrine(E) and norepinephrine(NE) and sensation and movement recovery time after operation. The side effects such as dizziness nausea,vomit,and exited talking were observed during the operation. Results The VAS score were significantly different between group Ⅰ ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ. The levels of E and NE in plasma in group Ⅰ were increased more than group Ⅱ and Ⅲ within 24 hours after operation, also there is significant difference in group Ⅱ compared with group Ⅲ in T1 ,T2 ,T3. The time of sensation and movement recovery were remarkably longer in group Ⅲ com-pared with group Ⅰ and Ⅱ, showing significant difference. There were no significant difference in side effects after operation in three groups. Conclusion The preemptive analgesia of kutamine and colnidine can relieve the pain of lower abdominal surgery and stress response after operation,and it do not increase the side effects.

Loading fluoroquinolones in the chitosan microsphere can greatly enhance its antibacterial, bactericidal, anti-inflammation and anti-infection characteristics. This paper reviewes the recent study on different preparation methods of chitosan mierosphere containing fluoroqninolones and discusses its applications.

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we have detected the expression of STC2 protein in laryngeal cancer and The safe incisal margin by immunohistochemical staining, to evaluate its correlation with clinical features and the prognosis value in laryngeal squamous cell cancer. METHOD: Eighty-one paraffin-embedd specimens of patients who underwent surgery for laryngeal cancer were collected. Clinical data, including date of birth, gender, tumor subsite, tumor stage, RT, and survival status have been recorded. The samples including laryngeal cancer tissues and the safe incisal margin were analyzed for the expression of STC2 protein by immunohistochemical staining. We analyzed the correlations with STC2 expression level and clinical data with software SPSS 18. 0. RESULT: (1)fifty-six cases in 81 cases (69. 1 %) are positive. In 30 cases of the safe incisal margin tissues, STC2 is not expressed, which shows statistically significant differences between the two groups (P<0. 05). (2)Overexpression of STC2 in laryngeal cancer were correlated with the tumor clinical stage and N stage, T stage, tumor site location and histological grade (P<0. 05), but not with genderor age (P> 0. 05). (3)The result showed that the 3-year survival rate is 74. 1%, according to the survival analysis by STC2, STC2 positive group has poorer outcome versus the negative group. (4)The clinical stage displayed the independent value in predicting the tumor prognosis of laryngeal cancer (P<0. 05), not the expression level of STC2. CONCLUSION Overexpression of STC2 in laryngeal cancer patients is correlated with poor outcome, which means STC2 positive group has poorer prognosis than the STC2 negative group.

BACKGROUND:An appropriate biomaterial can be directly combined with autologous or al ogeneic skin cel s to construct tissue-engineered skin, which can accelerate skin repair after transplantation onto the skin wounds. It is a good idea to solve the deficiency in skin sources. OBJECTIVE:To study the biological characteristics of the complex with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and to investigate the application of this complex in skin defect repair. METHODS:Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats, SPF grade, were randomized into two groups (n=14 per group). By adjustment of temperature, time, pressure and area of NC perm instrument, scald models were made in rats. Rats in the treatment group were given the repair using composite bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s, while those in the control group were given vaseline gauze repair. Repair effects were compared between two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) After 72 hours of culture, the composite bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s smal with round shape distributed dispersedly. After 5 days of culture, the cel s began to stretch and the cel morphology became unstable. After three passages, the cel morphology became stable. The results of antigen identification showed the expression of CD44 and CD29 but the low expression of CD45 and CD34 in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. (2) Twenty-eight days after repair, there was no obvious scar on the wound surface of the treatment group, but a little shrinkage and obvious scar stil existed in the control group. Moreover, in the control group, the epidermal layer of the skin was relatively thick, and the connection between the basal layer and the dermis was unsatisfactory. In the treatment group, obvious epidermal cel stratification, neat arrangement, and tight connection between the epidermis and dermis were observed. In summary, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s are a special class of cel s that have pluripotent ability and are more readily available. These cel s are the preferred target cel s for skin defect repair to promote early healing of the skin and improve blood circulation defect site, which are confirmed to have high clinical value.

Purpose:To study the feasibility of 1 H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS) in the chemical induced rat hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) model by a new 1.5T MR set and endeavor to have an initial understanding of the characteristics of its cancer development. Methods:Diethylnitrosamine (DEN) induced rat HCC models(n=30) were established. At different intervals rats were randomly scanned before being killed on the following day. Their livers were dissected for histopathologic study. Results:Three rats died unexpectedly. 27 rats (90%) developed liver lesions and were investigated according to the plan. T 1 WI is good for demonstration of anatomic structure and T 2 WI at showing the lesions in detail. The scanning methods have been improved gradually. 1 H-MRS results were satisfactory for 64% of the single-voxel and 50% of the multi-voxel respectively. Conclusions:DEN induced rat HCC model is suitable for the Medical Imaging studies and liver 1 H-MRS scan is practical with this new 1.5T unit.

[Objective]To investigate the outcomes of cementless metasul metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty.[Method]Metasul metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty of 30 hips in 25 patients was performed from August 2003 to December 2005.There were 11 males and 14 females with an average age of 47 years(28-72 years).Harris hip scores were determined before surgery and at the last follow-up examination.Standardized radiographs were obtained to evaluate component conditions.Blood samples were taken to determine serum chromium levels with use of atomic absorption spectrometry.[Result]Twenty-three patients(28 hips)were followed up with a mean period of 3.6 years(2.5-4.8 years).The mean Harris hip score improved from 49.5(17-78)points preoperatively to 93.4(55-99)points at the time of final follow-up.Twenty-two hips(85%)had an excellent result.Radiolucent lines were found in 3 hips.Focal femoral osteolysis was seen only in one patient.Sciatic nerve was injured in one case,which showed rehabilitation after 2.5 years.One hip had periprothetic infection because of diabetes 4 years after operation.There was no measurable wear by X-rays.No dislocation or fracture was found.The median serum chromium concentration was 0.082 ?g/mL(0.020～0.140 ?g/mL).No patient was diagnosed with renal insufficiency or hematologic malignancy during the study period.[Conclusion]The outcomes of Metasul metal-on-metal total hip arthroplasty are satisfactory.However,additional follow-up is necessary to determine any possible long-term deleterious effects.

[Objective]To discuss the cementless revision for postoperative infection after hip arthroplasty.[Methods]From November 1997 to December 2006,7 patients(7 hips) with infection after hip arthroplasty were treated,including 3 males and 4 females,with a mean age of 58 years(36～73 years).In the 7 hips,4 hips underwent a revision of total hip arthroplasty,2 hips only received new acetabular components and 1 hip underwent stem revision.One-stage revision was performed in 4 cases,two-stage revision was performed in 3 cases.Consecutive radiographs were compared to evaluate component conditions.Harris hip scores were determined before surgery and at the final follow-up examination.The erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were detected.[Results]All patients were followed up with a mean period of 3.6 years(1.5～10.6 years).The mean Harris hip score improved from 35(18-63) points preoperatively to 89(60～99) points at the time of final follow-up.No re-infection was found.Femoral component exsertion was found in 1 patient but without any symptom.Pain of hip joint disappeared in 5 cases,and 2 patients had mild pain when walking long distance.At the time of final follow-up,5 patients still had slight limp.Heterotopic ossification developed in 1 hip.The mean polyethylene liner wear was 0.08 mm per year at final follow-up.Deep vein phlebothrombosis and nerve injury were not found.[Conclusion]It is possible to have satisfactory clinical outcome by one-stage or two-stage revision using cementless prothesis for postoperative infection after total hip arthroplasty.Whether the original prothesis can be saved when fixed tightly with femur or acetabular bone needs more experiences to confirm.

[Objective]To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of revision hip arthroplasty with cementless prothesis.[Method]Revision hip arthroplasty of 41 hips in 36 patients was performed from November 1997 to August 2007 using cementless prothesis.In the 41 hips,29 hips underwent a revision total hip arthroplasty,8 hips underwent new acetabular components,and 4 hips underwent stem revision.Consecutive radiographs were compared to evaluate component conditions.The value of AAOS and Paprosky classification was used.Harris hip scores(HHSs)were determined before surgery and at the most recent follow-up examination.The Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis was used to estimate the probability of survival of the prothesis.[Result]Twenty-two patients(26 hips)were available for complete clinical and radiographic analysis.The mean follow-up period was 4.6 years(range,1-11 years).The mean preoperative Harris hip score of 38(range,11-76)points improved to 88(range,60-99)points at the time of final follow-up.The pain and function socre improved from 16.9 and 17.3 points to 40.4 and 39.9 points,respectively.All patients had moderate to severe limp before revision.At the time of final follow-up,8 patients still had slight limp and 4 patients had moderate limp.Twenty-one hips(75%)had an excellent result.A 1mm width radiolucent line was found in 1 femoral component without any symptom.Osteolysis and migration were seen in 4 hips(3 in acetabular and 1 in femoral component),which needed re-revision(12.5% failure).Heterotopic ossification developed in 8 hips(31%).The mean polyethylene liner wear was 0.27 mm(range,0.02-0.87 mm)in all and 0.08 mm(range,0-0.25 mm)per year.The wear rate was only correlated with changes of abduction angle of the acetabulum.The coincidence of bone defect classification in AAOS is better than Paprosky.Kaplan-Meier survivorship at 4.6 years was 89% with repeat revision for any reason as the end point and 81% with repeat revision or radiographic loosening as the end point.[Conclusion]Cementless prothesis appears to be a good alternative to other revision systems in revision total hip arthroplasty.Careful intraoperative evaluation of bone deficiency are needed to choose an appropriate prothesis in order to obtain a good outcome.
