3.Surgical treatment of bone metastasis from thyroid cancer and analysis of prognostic factors
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2012;32(11):1073-1080
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 the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture plus Bobath therapy in treating motor dysfunction of the core muscles in patients with hemiplegia after cerebral stroke.Method Totally 144 patients with post-stroke hemiplegia were divided into a control group, treatment group 1 and treatment group 2. The treatment group 1 was intervened by Bobath therapy, while the treatment group 2 was by abdominal acupuncture and scalp acupuncture in association with Bobath therapy. The recruited patients were examined for the manual muscle strength rating of the abdominal core muscles, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, and Barthel Index (BI) score on the day of admission, the 30th day and 60th day after admission.Result There were no significant inter-group differences in comparing the core muscle strength, BBS, and the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) on the day of admission (P>0.05). The core muscle strength, BBS, and ADL were significantly increased on the 30th and 60th day after admission in the three groups (P<0.05), and the scores in treatment group 2 were significantly higher than that in the control group and treatment group 1 (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus Bobath therapy can significantly improve the motor dysfunction of the core muscles in patients with hemiplegia after cerebral stroke.

Objective Through analyzing nursing course-teaching plans of 10 representative higher vocational colleges,to realize advantages of the curriculum implementation and contents to be improved from the practical teaching perspective,to review the application of China's educational objectives as well as to provide the reasonable choice and practical support for deepened teaching reforms.Methods Statistical models were employed in analyzing 10 colleges' class hours and course composition.The results were compared with relative guidance documents in national scope.Results All 10 colleges' practical teaching relevant indicators exceeded the national criteria in running higher vocational colleges,but deviations were appeared in response of the national guidance of the nursing education,especially in clinical clerkship.Conclusions The quality guarantee of nursing course-teaching should be improved.A national policy should be implemented to combine the professional education accreditation with the nursing practitioner admittance,apply the minimum professional education standards to achieve the educational quality guarantee and guidance in each level.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between C-erbB-2 and angiogenesis of breast cancer and its clinical significance.METHODS: The expression of C-erbB-2,VEGF(vascular endothelial growth factor) and MVD(microvessel density) in breast cancer tissues were detected by two-step immunohistochemical method.RESULTS: For the 50 breast cancer specimens,the positive rate was 44 %(22/50) for C-erbB-2 vs.64%(32/50) for VEGF,and the MVD value was 25.96?11.59.The positive expression rates of C-erbB-2 and VEGF and MVD value in patients with lymph node metastasis of breast cancer were all higher than in those without lymph node metastasis of breast cancer(P0.05).C-erbB-2 expression was positively correlated with VEGF expression(P

Objective To investigate the etiology of papular urticaria: is it caused only by arthropod-like insects-bite allergy, or by multiple factors such as food allergy, disturbance of gastrointestinal function and infection? Methods We searched, by computer and manually, the foreign and domestic literature related to the etiology of papular urticaria published since 1950s, and according to the methods of evidence-based medicine, systematically evaluated the evidence supporting either the insect-bite theory or the multiple factor theory. Results Twenty-nine articles ( 22 English and 7 Chinese ) supported the theory of hypersensitivity to bites from certain insects such as mosquitoes, gnats, fleas, mites, bedbugs etc. Two articles in Chinese mentioned the possibilities other than insect-bite, but the reliability was unconvincing, because the authors did not present the source of data or statistical methods used in the articles. The evidence from epidemiology, histopathology, laboratory and clinical researches all supported the insects-bite theory. No proven evidence was found supporting other aetiological hypotheses. Conclusion Our results suggest that papular urticaria is caused only by the allergy to stings or bites of arthropods, and other hypotheses still lack convincing evidence.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of G CSF on lungs of rats with acute cholangitis and changes in blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 by treating the rats with G CSF. Methods Seventy two Wistar rats were randomized into the control, infected and treated groups. We established the model of cholangitis in the rats with injection of E. coli 25922 into the bile duct. The animals in the treated group were pretreated with G CSF 500 ng/day bid) for 5 days before the E. coli injection. The levels of blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 were measured at the 3rd, 6th and 12th h after the injection. Meanwhile, the morphological changes in lungs of the rats were observed. Results The morphological changes in lungs were milder and levels of blood TNF and TXA 2/PGI 2 were significantly lower in the treated group than in the infected one (P

Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of 128-slice spiral CT in patients with adult intussusception. Methods Direct features of 128-slice spiral CT of 63 adult intussusception patients confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Results In 63 cases of intussusceptions, 1 case had idiopathic intussusception, and the other 62 cases had secondary intussusception (1 case with multiple intussusceptions). Direct signs included:target signin 60 cases,double intestines signin 59 cases,blood vessel curling signin 56 cases, andcomet-tail signandkidney signin 51 cases. Lipoma was the most common benign lesions of intussusception, and colon cancer was the most common malignant lesions of intussusception. Conclusions The 128-slice spiral CT combined with multiple plane restructuring has the important value in diagnosing adult intussusception.
