Objective To study PTEN protein expression and clinical significance in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Methods Immunohistochemical staining was used to determine the PTEN protein expression in 40 cases of primary diffuse large B lymphoma tissuse. The results were analyzed by Kaplan-Merie survival analysis, Log-Rank test and Logistic regression analysis. Results PTEN protein was positive in 16 cases and negative in 24 cases. There was no significant difference between two groups in twoyear overall survival rate(62.5 % vs 66.7 %, P >0.05). Survival analysis showed that patient' s survival time gradually were reduced with extended time between PTEN protein-positive group and negative group, lower in PTEN-positive group than the negative group, but there was no significant difference in survival curve (P >0.05) in the two groups. We compared characteristics of patients between PTEN protein positive and negative groups,including molecular type, patient' s age, stage, LDH, physical score and extranodular invasion, there was no significant difference among them. PTEN protein was not correlated with prognosis, while International Prognosis Index(IPI) was still a risk factor (OR >1). Conclusion PTEN protein expression may not predict the outcome in diffuse large B cell lymphoma, but IPI still is a predictor.

Objective To discuss the clinical and pathological characteristics, treatment results and prognosis of primary parotid malignant lymphoma. Methods Pathological subtypes, clinical stages and treatment of the 24 patients with primary parotid malignant lymphoma were retrospectively analysed. Kaplan-Meier method was used in the survival analysis and Log-Rank method was used in the statistic study. Results The 5-year progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 79.2 % and 83.3 %, respectively. The 5-year PFS and OS were 89.5 % and 94.7 % for 19 patients with low-grade malignant lymphoma (including MALTL and Ⅰ/Ⅱ grade FL). The differences of the 5-year PFS and OS of 9 patients received chemotherapy and of 10 patients with on chemotherapy had no statistical significance. Conclusion The incidence of primary parotid malignant lymphoma is low, at earlier clinical stage, and most of its pathological subtype were B-cell low-grade malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Surgery and/or radiotherapy should be the first choice for patients with early stage low-grade malignant lymphoma, whereas combined modality therapy was probably the best choice for patients with DLBCL.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy ( FURL) using holmium laser for medullary sponge kidney stones. Methods A flexible ureteroscope was placed into renal calyx via a ureteral access sheath ( UAS) . The stones underlying the mucosa were found,and then broken by holmium laser following incision of renal papillary mucosa. The stone fragments were washed or clamped out. The remission of clinical symptoms and incidence of perioperative complications were observed,and a KUB plain film was rechecked postoperatively. Results Stones underlying mucosa were found and broken successfully in all 14 patients and there was no serious bleeding. Back pain symptoms of patients were relieved in 3 to 7 days postoperatively or after the removal of double J stent. The stone fragments were mainly discharged spontaneously. The rechecking KUB showed the amount of stones of most patients was significantly re-duced three months after operation. Conclusion FURL using holmium laser is effective for the treatment of medullary sponge kidney stones as it can significantly reduce the loads of stones without serious complications. It’ s a minimally invasive,effective,safe and suitable way which is suitable for further spread of clinical application.

Transgene silencing is one of two major obstacles in both basic biomedical research for transgene and clinical practice of gene therapy. Based on the model of HT1080 cell clones, which transduced single copy of retroviral vector MGPN2, the mechanism of transgene silencing was explored in this investigation by a serial molecular techniques. In the HT1080 cell clone that absence of GFP protein synthesized, no significant aberration of epigenetic modification was detected, but the transcript size and the sequence changed that resulted in the reading frame shift. In addition to chromosomal position effect leading to transgene silencing, the transcript reading frame shift associated with retroviral vector rearrangements could induce complete silencing of transgene.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of brachytherapy with 125I seed strand in treating implanted main portal vein tumor thrombus (MPVTT) in experimental rabbits.Methods VX2 tumor cell line was implanted in the main portal vein (MPV) of 32 New Zealand white rabbits to establish MPVTT models.The rabbits were randomly divided into the treatment group (group T,n=16) and the control group (group C,n=16).125I seed strand was implanted in the MPVTT of the rabbits of group T,while blank seed strand was implanted in the MPVTT of the rabbits of group C.After the implantation,the changes in general condition,body weight and laboratory testing results were recorded.Two weeks after the treatment,every 8 rabbits from each group were sacrificed,and the specimens were collected and sent for pathological examination.The remaining rabbits were fed till they died,and then autopsy was conducted.Multi-slice spiral CT manifestations,histopathological findings,Ki-67 labeling index and apoptosis index were used to assess the curative effect,and the results were compared between the two groups.Results At each observation time point after brachytherapy,the weight loss of the experimental rabbits was more obvious in group C than in group T.No statistically significant differences in liver functions and white blood cell count existed between the two groups (P＞0.05).The mean MPVTT volume of group T and group C were (565.40±220.90) mm3 and (2 269.90±437.00) mm3 respectively (P＜0.001);the Ki-67 labeling indexes were (4.14±1.84)％ and (33.82± 6.07)％ respectively (P=0.001);the median survival days were (39.50±2.37) d and (27.38±1.22) d respectively (P=0.001).Conclusion For the treatment of implanted MPVTT in experimental rabbits,brachytherapy with 125I seed strand is safe and effective.

Objective:To examine the short-term outcomes of modified load-sharing rip-stop repair (mLSRS) and suture-bridge repair (SB) for large rotator cuff tear.Methods:The clinical data of patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy for large rotator cuff repair at Department of Orthopedic, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences Wang Jing Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were collected. Totally 111 patients (39 in mLSRS group and 72 in SB group) were included in the study. There were 45 males and 66 females, aged (58.0±6.9)years (range: 40 to 72 years).A total of 39 pairs of patients were successfully matched by propensity score matching. The pain of shoulder joint was assessed by visual analogy score (VAS) , the shoulder function was assessed by Constant-Murley score, the abduction strength of bilateral shoulder joint was assessed by 90? force assessment method of upper limb on the plane of scapula, and the healing of rotator cuff on the operative side was assessed by sugaya ultrasonic classification standard. The difference of short-term outcome between the two groups were compared using t test, χ 2 test, Mann-Whitney U test, repeated measures design anova and multivariate analysis of variance. Results:At the 4th week after surgery, the VAS of mLSRS group was significantly lower than SB group(1 (2) vs. 2 (2) , F=5.32, P=0.02). One year after surgery, Constant-Murley score of two groups were significantly higher than those before surgery, but there was no significant difference between two groups(89.1±5.7 vs. 87.6±7.3, t=1.00, P=0.32). Abductor strength of affected limbs were lower than that of the opposite side, but there were no statistically significant differences between two groups(4.28±1.61 vs. 4.54±1.64, t=-0.70, P=0.49). According to the Sugaya classification, 32 cases in mLSRS group were healed while 7 cases were not healed,30 cases in SB group were healed while 9 cases were not healed(χ 2=0.32, P=0.58). Conclusion:The use of mLSRS fixation construct on large rotator cuff tear can reduce pain and the short-term outcome is reliable.
