OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical manifestation and diagnosis of ganglioneuroma in spine and investigate the clinical effect of surgical treatment.
METHODSThe clinical data of 6 patients underwent a surgery for ganglioneuroma in spine from January 2008 to January 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 4 males and 2 females, aged from 2 to 63 years old with an average of 34.6 years. The courses of disease were from 3 days to 17 years. Five patients complicated with superficial hypesthesia in correlative level of tumor, and the muscle strength under tumor plane had decreased at different levels, with the strength of grade II-IV. Two cases complicated with hypermyotonia and positive bilateral Hoffmann's and Babinski sign. Five cases were sporadic lesion in correlative spinal canal and one case complicated with the giant occupying lesion in thoracic cavity.
RESULTSSix operations had been performed including 5 en bloc and 1 subtotal resection. Postoperative pathological results showed tumor cells scattered or fasciculated inserted into Schwann cells in the stroma. In 2 patients complicated with radiculalgia before operation, 1 case was relieved and 1 was invariant after operation. All 4 patients with preoperative dyscinesia in the limbs obtained improvement after operation. All the patients were followed up from 0.3 to 6.8 years with an average of 2.5 years. At the final follow-up, according to ASIA grade, 5 cases were good and 1 case was invariant. During the follow-up, only 1 patient experienced chemoradiation because of merging ganglioneuroblastoma and receiving subtotal resection. No recurrence in other 5 cases.
CONCLUSIONGanglioneuroma is a benign and rare tumors in spine. Clinically, radicular pain and sensory-motor disorders are the main manifestations. Its diagnosis depends on pathological examination. Prognosis of surgical treatment is good.

AIM:To compare the efficiency of fibrin glue to suture technique in pterygium surgery performed with limbal autograft under different methods of anesthesia.
METHODS: A prospective randomised clinical trial was carried out in 60 eyes of 55 patients operated for primary nasal pterygium, which were divided into two groups randomly: experimental group ( 30 eyes in 27 patients ) was under surface anesthesia ( oxybuprocaine ) and control group ( 30 eyes in 28 patients ) was under local anesthesia ( 20g/L lidocaine ). Autologous limbal graft taken from the superotemporal limbus was used to cover the sclera by a fibrin tissue adhesive after pterygium excision. Patients were followed up at least for 6mo. Time of operation, matching degree of graft and VAS score were mainly observed and recorded.
RESULTS: In experimental group the average surgery time was shorter (P=0. 008) and matching degree of graft ( 93%) was better than control group ( 83%) , the differences had statistical significance(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: The surface anesthesia is enough when using fibrin glue for graft fixation in pterygium surgery, which will shorten surgery time and get better matching degree of graft.

Objective The present study was to explore association of PvuⅡand XbaⅠpolymorphism in ER-?gene with genetic susceptibility for breast cancer without BRCAl/2 gene mutation. Methods 113 BRCA1/2 negative hereditary breast cancer patients from independent families and 113 agematched healthy control subjects were analyzed. Genotype analysis was conducted by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and then DNA direct sequencing. The odd-ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated by unconditional logistic regression model. Results The frequency of PvuⅡpolymorphism CC(PP) ,CT(Pp) ,TT(pp) genotype in patients was found in 16 cases(14.2% ), 58 cases(51. 3% ) , and 39 cases (34. 5% ). The distribution of AA (xx) , AG (Xx) , GG (XX) genotype of XbaⅠpolymorphism were found in 76 cases ( 67. 2% ) , 34 cases ( 30. 1% ), and 3 cases ( 2. 7% ) among patients. Among premenopausal women, CT genotype of PvuⅡconfered a significantly increased risk for breast cancer compared with CC genotype ( adjusted OR = 2. 07; 95% CI, 0. 68 - 6. 30) ; Carriers of GG of XbaⅠhad a decreased risk for breast cancer (adjusted OR =0. 11; 95 % CI, 0. 01 - 1. 27) compared with AA genotype. Furthermore, combined analysis of two polymorphisms indicated individuals carrying PvuⅡCT and XbaⅠAA genotype were at increased risk for breast cancer as compared with those with PvuⅡCC and XbaⅠGG genotype (Oft = 11.43, 95% CI, 1.12-116.7) among premenopausal women. Conclusions PvuⅡand XbaⅠpolymorphisms in ER-?gene could be a candidate locus for low penetrance breast cancer susceptibility in Chinese population, especially among premenopausal women.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of berberine on the proliferation and apoptosis of HL-60 cells, and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in HL-60 cells. Berberine (6 - 96 µg/ml) was added to the HL-60 cell line culture medium, the CCK-8 method was used to reveal the inhibitory effect on cell proliferation, the flow cytometry was used to determine the apoptosis rate and cell cycle in HL-60 cells treated with berberine. The expression of VEGFR2 mRNA and protein were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. The results showed that the berberine inhibited the proliferation of HL-60 cells and induced their apoptosis in dose- and time-dependent manners. With the increased concentration of berberine, the percentage of HL-60 cells in G(1) phase of cycle increased significantly, and the percentage of HL-60 cells in S phase decreased significantly. The expression of mRNA and protein of VEGFR2 decreased with the increased concentration of berberine. It is concluded that the berberine can inhibit HL-60 cell proliferation and induce HL-60 cell apoptosis. The expression of mRNA and proteins of VEGFR2 decreased after treatment with berberine.

Background and purpose:Perioperative anesthetic management is thought to be critical to the success of free flap breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to discuss intraoperative fluid, hemodynamic and temperature management in patients undergoing deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction.Methods:From Jun. 2011 to Dec. 2015, 126 patients underwent DIEP lfap breast reconstruction. Postoperative complications were reviewed. Intraoperative fluid infusion rate was analyzed. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and core temperature were measured before induction (T0), after lfap elevation but before lfap transfer (T1), 15 min after flap revascularization (T2), and at the end of surgery (T3).Results:Nine patients developed flap compromised: 7 were salvaged and 2 failed. The mean intraoperative lfuid infusion rate was (5.44±1.66) (mL?kg-1)/h. MAP at T0, T1, T2 and T3 were (87.45±8.90), (74.19±8.63), (74.60±8.71) and (79.62±7.88) mmHg, respectively. Core temperature at T0, T1, T2 and T3 were (36.69±0.14), (36.36±0.18), (36.27±0.14) and (36.21±0.15)℃, respectively. Conclusion:Standard practice focusing on intraoperative lfuid management, hemodynamic adjustment and temperature control in microsurgical reconstruction of the breast should be established to further improve free lfap outcome.
