Object To investigate clinical features,surgical strategy and prognostic factors of bone metastasis from thyroid cancer.Methods A total of 46 patients with bone metastasis from thyroid cancer,who had undergone surgical treatment from January 1999 to July 2011 and had complete follow-up data,were enrolled in this retrospective study.There were 20 males and 26 females,aged from 40 to 87 years (average,56.87 years).Forty two (91.3％) cases of metastatic lesion located in axial skeleton,while 4 (8.7％) in limbs.The tumor histology type was well-differentiated in 35 patients and poorly differentiated in 11 cases.Nineteen patients (41.3％) had an isolated metastatic bone lesion,while other 27 patients (58.7％) had multiple lesions.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox regression model were performed to identify prognostic factors among 19 factors including gender,age,tumor subtype,number of bone metastasis,site of bone metastasis,visceral metastasis,skeletal-related events,timing of metastasis,whether metastatic lesion was detected when thyroid cancer was diagnosed,whether thyroid surgery was performed,whether 131Ⅰ therapy was performed,whether chemotherapy or radiotherapy were performed,preoperative general condition (good or poor),surgical type (excisional surgery or palliative surgery),characteristics of metastatic lesion (osteolytic or mixed),intraoperative blood loss,whether measures were applied to prevent intraoperative bleeding,perioperative complications and long-term complications.Results Excisional surgery was performed in 36 patients (78.3％),while palliative surgery in other 10 patients (21.7％).The average amount of blood loss was 2603.26ml.The postoperative 5-year survival rate and 10-year survival rate were 37.3％ and 12.4％,respectively.Univariate analysis showed the significant prognostic factors include tumor subtype,number of bone metastasis,whether 131Ⅰ therapy was performed,and preoperative general condition (good or poor).Multivariate analysis showed the independent prognostic factors were number of bone metastasis (solitary or multiple) and whether 131Ⅰ therapy was performed.Conclusion For patients with bone metastasis from thyroid cancer,the prognostic factors are useful for determining indications for operation and improving treatment outcome.

Objective To investigate incidence,risk factors and the prevention strategy of local recurrence 6 months after surgery for metastatic bone tumors.Methods Data of 797 patients who had undergone operations for metastatic bone tumors from March 1997 to March 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Sixty-three patients (7.9％) who had local recurrence 6 months after operation were enrolled in the recurrence group,including 40 males and 23 females,and the average age at the time of operation was 55.21 years.Seven hundred thirty-four patients were enrolled in the non-recurrence group,including 432 males and 302 females,with an average age of 56.49 years.The risk factors for local recurrence 6 months after operation for metastatic bone tumors were statistically analyzed.Results The statistical analysis showed the risk factors for local tumor recurrence 6 months after surgery for metastatic bone tumors included preoperative general condition (10.9％ vs 6.2％),the rate of progress of the primary tumor (10.1％ vs 6.1％),site of bone metastasis (9.1％ vs 3.9％),surgical method (11.4％ vs 6.4％),whether local radiotherapy was performed preoperatively (28.0％ vs 6.6％),whether local radiotherapy was performed postoperatively (8.7％ vs 2.8％),whether sensitive systemic therapy was performed preoperatively (12.2％ vs 6.1％),whether sensitive systemic therapy was performed postoperatively (10.3％ vs 5.6％) and whether local therapy was performed in primary tumor site (10.1％ vs 5.8％).Multivariate analysis showed the independent risk factors included preoperative general condition (OR=0.534),rate of progress of the primary tumor (OR=2.164),site of bone metastasis (OR=2.906),whether local radiotherapy was performed preoperatively (OR=3.184),whether sensitive systemic therapy was performed preoperatively (OR=2.344) and whether sensitive systemic therapy was performed postoperatively (OR =0.468).Conclusion When the patients has following conditions:poor preoperative general condition,fast progressive primary tumor,metastatic tumor in the axial skeleton,application of local radiotherapy preoperatively,and application of sensitive systemic therapy,the surgical treatment should be chosen cautiously.

The authors used a microvascular corrosion cast/scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique to study the microvascular bed of the muscles of the medial pterygoid and masseter in two normal babies. The cast were prepared by perfusing the microvascular vessels with methyl methacrylate. Under SEM, the patterns of branches of the arteriole are: 1. tree like ramifications; 2. symmetrical branching; 3. fine plexiform branching. Moreover, the casts of arterial and venous vessels showed on their surfaces the typical imprint of the endothelial lining. Therefore, the venous vessels could be easily identified by the round nuclei of the endothelial cells of the venous vessels. On the other side, arteries and arterioles displayed spindle shaped nuclear imprints, oriented along the direction of the vessel. The morphological and functional characterization of the imprint of the precapillary sphincter and the two-grade anastomoses of the arcade arteries. The diameter of the capillary casts (mean?SE) was 5.6?1.9?m. Two or three capillaries join together to form a postcapillary venules, sometimes a single capillary reaches a major venous trunk was observed. These structural features were considered to play an important physiological role in the microcirculation in skeletal muscle.

Objective To study the anemia status and genotype of thalassemia in preschool children in Shenzhen. Methods 658 preschool with anemia hospitalized in Shenzhen Longgang Maternal and Child Health Hospital from October 2012 to September 2015 were screened by complete blood analysis . The most common mutations of thalassemia genotype (17 β thalassemia genotype mutation,3 α thalassemia genotype mutation and 3α thalassemia genotype absence change) in Chinese population were detected. Results All cases have microcytic hypochromic anemia. 426 cases were identified to be thalassemia (64.7%). 23 genotypes and 13 gene mutation type were detected. The most common genotype type were SEA/αα(46%),β654/βN(15%),β41?42/βN(12.7%). And the most common allele gene mutation type were SEA (49.1%),IVS?Ⅱ?654( C→T)(14.4%),CD41?42(?TTCT)(12.4%) re?spectively. MCV and MCH of thalassemia children was significantly lower than that of children diagnosed as without thalassemia. The differences of RBC,Hb,MCV,MCH,MCHC,RBC?SD between the two groups were statistical?ly significant. Conclusion The proportion of thalassemia among preschool anemia children in Shenzhen area was high,and it is necessary to strengthen the local thalassemia prevention and decrease anemia effect on preschool children′s health.

Objective To isolate and observe Pityrosporum yeasts from a patient with onychomycosis. Methods The involved nail specimens were investigated by means of culture, pathological and scanning electron microscopic examination and 20% KOH preparation. Results Physical examination showed that each finger and toe nail appeared brownish black, rough and thick, some of the fore part of the nail plate detached from the nail bed. Fingernail specimen's culture results showed that Trichophyton rubrum grew on Sabouraud's dextrose agar and Pityrosporum ovale grew on the medium containing rapeseed oil. The pathological examination revealed P.ovale yeast involvement in the fissure of the nail plate. Under the scanning electron microscopy, a lot of P.ovale yeasts with characteristic collarette structure inserted in the nail tissue was noticed. In the 20% KOH preparations of nail incubated at 56℃for 1h and stained with Quink Parker ink, spores and hyphae were identified morphologically with P.ovale and T.rubrum respectively. The patient received intermittent pulse therapy with itraconazole, the color of the nails became much brighter 1 to 2 months after the fourth cycle of therapy, but no further improvement was observed afterwards. P.ovale and T.rubrum grew again 6 months after treatment when the clippings of the fingernail were cultured. Conclusion This is the first document of onychomycosis related with P.ovale in China.
