Objective To investigate the influence of neuro-specific DNA repair gene Nbn on the development of granular cells in hippocampus of monatal mouse. Methods The hippocampus development of postnatal mouse was evaluated by comparing the morphological differences of granular cells in hippocampus between the Nbn gene knockout mice (Nbn-CNS-Del) and the controls (Nbn-CNS-Ctr). Serial sections, immunohistochemistry and stereology methods were used to quantitatively analyze the development of granular cells in hippocampus of mice on the postnatal day 7, 14 and 21 (P7d, P14d and P21d). Results In Nbn-CNS-Ctr group, the granular layer in hippocampus manifested "C" in shape, the section area of granular layer was increased, and so was the cell body of granular cells in hippocampus during P7d to P21d; the inner arm granular cells in granular layer of hippocampus emerged on P7d, and most obvious changes occurred during P7d to P14d. While in Nbn-CNS-Del group, the granular layer in "C" shape were seen to form in most of the specimens during P7d to P21d, though they were sparsely distributed. Compared with that of the mice in Nbn-CNS-Ctr group, the development of granular layer in hippocampus of the mice in Nbn-CNS-Del group lagged obviously, and the sectional area of granular cells decreased significantly (P

AlM:To evaluate the value of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of traumatic retinal detachment.
METHODS: All 50 cases ( 56 eyes ) of suspicious traumatic retinal detachment from January to June in 2013 were enrolled in this study. All first received the two-dimensional ultrasound, then the color Doppler ultrasound, finally, these results were compared with the results of surgery.
RESULTS: All 56 eyes were observed intravitreal abnormal spots by the two-dimensional ultrasound, and 39 eyes were observed color blood signal by the color Doppler ultrasound. Forty eyes were approved retinal detachment by surgery.
CONCLUSlON: lt is better to display the intravitreal abnormal spots and color blood signal by the color Doppler ultrasound than by the two - dimensional ultrasound, so there is important clinical significance of the color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis of traumatic retinal detachment.

Objective To explore the value of imaging diagnosis of nerve-root-type cervical spondylosis(NRTCS)and to study the relative factors to the nerve root disturbance.Methods 188 cases of NRTCS clinically proved and with complete imaging data were retrospectively analyzed.The imaging characteristics of CR,CT and MRI of NRTCS were compared and the relative factors to the nerve root disturbance were analyzed in combination with the clinical characteristics.Results ①CR films in six-position could show the whole expression of the cervical spine.The anterior-posterior and functional position CR showed the physiological curvature change in 122(64.9%),narrowing of intervertebral space in 96(51.2%)and vertebral-body unstability or slide in 49(26.1%).The oblique CR showed the intervertebral-foramen lessening or narrowing in(26.1%)and Luschka-or intervertebral-joint osteophyte in 82(43.2%);②CT scans showed Luschka-or intervertebral-joint osteophyte in 76(40.4%),disc herniation and calcification of cartilage nodus in 80(42.6%)and hypertrophy or calcification of ligamenlum flavum in 66(39.8%);③MRI showed intervertebral-disk degeneration and protrusion in 105(55.8%),hypertrophy or calcification of ligamentum flavum in 51(27.1%),the nerve root and spinal cord compressed in 69(36.7%)and edema or degeneration of spinal cord in 23(12.2%).Conclusion The nerve root disturbance is closely correlated with the imaging appearances in NRTCS.It is of importance in early diagnosis and treatment for NRTCS to analyse synthetically the imaging data and clinical characteristics.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the data of patients with T3N0-1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) who underwent radiotherapy (RT) alone or concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), and to investigate the relationship between therapeutic modality and prognosis. Methods From January 2004 to December 2004, 781 patients with biopsy-proven newly diagnosed non-metastatic NPC were analyzed in Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center, who had MRI data of nasopharynx and neck. With restaged based on the Chinese 2008 staging system, 82 cases of T3N0-1M0 patients who were treated by RT alone or CCRT were enrolled. They were divided into group A (46 cases, RT) and group B (36 cases, CCRT). Results The clinical data was comparable between the two groups. The 5-year overall survival rate (OS) was 93.5 % (group A) and 100 % (group B)(P =0.046), while the 5-year disease-free survival rate (DFS) was 85.2 % (group A) and 91.7 % (group B) (P =0.498). N-Staging was the factor affecting the DFS. Stratified analysis showed that the 5-year OS of T3N0M0 patients was 94.7 % (group A) and 100 % (group B) (P =0.432), those of T3N1M0 patients were 92.6 %(group A) and 100 %(group B) (P =0.066), while the 5-year DFS was 73.7 % (group A) and 89.3 % (group B) (P =0.244). Multifactor analysis showed that CCRT was not the independent factor affecting the OS(HR =0.019; 95 % CI, 0 to 21.793), and N-stage was not the independent factor affecting the DFS (HR = 0.203; 95 % CI, 0.135 to 1.231×104). Conclusion For T3N0M0, NPC patients, CCRT is not superior to RT alone. Whether CCRT can improve survival of T3N1M0 NPC patients needs further study.

Objective To assess the efficacy and feasibility of neoadjuvant therapy of TPF regimen including docetaxel (TAX), cisplatin (DDP) and 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu) combined with concurrent DDP and radiotherapy (RT) in patients with local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods From April 2008 to May 2009, 40 patients with newly diagnosed UICC stage Ⅲ orⅣ local advanced NPC were enrolled. Patients were randomly assigned to group A(DDP every 3 weeks) and group B(DDP every week). Two cycles of induction chemotherapy with TAX 60 mg/m2 dl, DDP 60 mg/m3 dl and 5-Fu 600 mg/m2 dl-5 were given on a 3-weekly cycle, followed by RT and chemotherapy(group A: DDP 80 mg/m2 every 3 weeks for 2 times; group B: DDP 30 mg/m2 weekly for 6 times). Two-dimension conformal RT technique with 68-72 Gy/(34-36) fractions for 7 weeks was administered to the nasopharynx and 60-66 Gy/(30-33) fractions for 6-6.5 weeks to the node-positive area. Results 38 patients (78 Cycles) were evaluable for efficacy and toxicity. One patient in each group was excluded due to toxicity. 17 (17/19) patients of group A finished 2 cycles of planed DDP chemotherapy, while only 10 (10/19) patients of group B completed 6 weeks of planed DDP chemotherapy, 4 completed 5 weeks, 4 completed 4 weeks and 1 completed 2 weeks. Response to neoadjuvant TPF was as follows: 4 patients (10.5 %) achieved complete response(CR), 27(71.1%) achieved partial response(PR) and 7 (18.4 %) achieved stable disease (SD), so the overall response (CR+PR) rate was 81.6 %. After RT, 32 patients (84.2 %) achieved CR, 5 (13.2 %) PR and 1 (2.6 %) SD, so the overall response rate was 97.4 %. Conclusion TPF induction chemotherapy followed by concurrent DDP and RT is an effective regimen in the treatment of advanced NPC. Concurrent DDP chemotherapy on a 3-weekly cycle is recommended. Further study should be made to investigate how to increase the dose intensity of chemotherapy.

Objective To construct a recombinant lentiviral expression vector containing NIS and EGFP gene,and to explore the feasibility of NIS gene for monitoring the bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) migration to the intracranial glioma.Methods The NIS and EGFP gene fragments were subcloned into lentiviral vector pLVX-puro,then packaged and amplified in HEK293T cells to obtain recombinant lentivirus pLVX-CMV-NIS-EGFP.pLVX-CMV-0-EGFP was constructed as control.BMSCs were isolated,cultured,and transfected by lentivirus.The antibiotic-resistant transfected BMSCs (BMSCs-NIS-EGFP and BMSCs-EGFP) were selected.The expression of NIS gene was examined by Western blot.Functional NIS activity was confirmed by the uptake of 125I and the inhibition effect of NaClO4.The nude mice intracranial glioma models were established.MicroSPECT was performed at 24 h post BMSCs-NIS-EGFP injection via the tail vein.Results pLVX-CMV-NIS-EGFP and pLVX-CMV-0-EGFP were successfully constructed and packaged.BMSCs were successfully isolated and cultured.Stable cell lines BMSCs-NIS-EGFP and BMSCs-EGFP were constructed after lentivirus transfection and puromycin selection.The expression of NIS gene was detected by Western blot in BMSCs-NIS-EGFP,but not in BMSCs-EGFP.BMSCs-NIS-EGFP showed significantly more uptake of 125I (nearly 10 times than the uptake in BMSCs-EGFP) and the uptake could be significantly inhibited by NaClO4.The nude mice intracranial glioma models were successfully established and the BMSCs-NIS-EGFP in glioma foci could be visualized by microSPECT imaging at 24 h post injection.Conclusions A recombinant lentivirus containing NIS gene could be successfully constructed for monitoring BMSCs migration towards intracranial glioma.It might provide evidence on the research of BMSCs and NIS gene mediated therapy for glioma.
