R04, a Gram-positive bacterium, which can use biphenyl as the sole carbon source, was isolated from soil contaminated with oil in northern China. The bacterium has high biphenyl degradation efficiency and also can degrade polychlorinated biphenyl congeners, Aroclor1221 and Aroclor 1242. The bacterium was identified as Rhodococcus pyridinovorans by the method of 16S rDNA gene sequencing (accession No. AY072745).

Objective To investigate the role of microsatellite instability(MSI) in the carcinogenesis and development of gastric cancer (GC). Methods MSI was examined in 36 gastric cancer specimens obtained endoscopically and during surgery and in 30 intestinal metaplasia specimens using PCR SSCP methods. Results MSI was detected in 15 of 36 GC and 9 of 30 intestinal metaplasia specimens at one or more loci. MSI was positive in all three cases of early GC. The incidence of MSI in well differenciated GC was significantly higher than that in poorly differentiated GC (66.7% vs 26.3%, P

BACKGROUND:The treatment of infected nonunion is a difficult problem in orthopedic trauma, which needs to completely eliminate foci of osteomyelitis to control infection, repair soft tissue defect and close the wound, repairs bone defects to promote healing and protect limb function as much as possible. Autogenous micromorselized bone can be easily obtained and recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 has variety of sources. Their mixed grafting mode is safe and reliable in repairing of bone defects, which are suitable for repair of infected nonunion. <br> OBJECTIVE:To study the operating method and clinical results of repairing infected nonunion using autogenous micromorselized bone grafting mixed with bone morphogenetic protein-2. <br> METHODS:Twenty-three cases underwent infected nonunion repair with autogenous micromorselized bone (l ium, long bone metaphyseal cancellous bone) mixed with bone morphogenetic protein-2, including 7 cases of femoral bone defect caused by osteomyelitis after debridement and external fixation and 16 cases of tibial bone infected nonunion. Eleven of 23 cases continued to use the external fixation because of scar contraction or poor conditions of soft tissue, and the other 12 cases switched to use internal fixation. X-tray was taken to evaluate the bone healing at the 1st, 3rd, 6th and 12th months after operation. The function of the affected extremity was assessed by Johner-Wruhs grade. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the cases were averagely fol owed up for 13.4 months. The bone defects and bone fracture healed in al cases without infection, and the wounds were al sealed. The excellent and good rate according to Johner-Wruhs grade was 95%. These findings indicate that the bone grafting mode of autogenous micromorselized bone mixed with bone morphogenetic protein-2 is characterized as variety of sources, high safety and reliable osteogenic ability in repair of bone defects.

Objective To explore the efficacy of laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy for patients with gastric cancer. Methods The clinical data of 726 patients who received laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer at the Southwest Hospital from January 2004 to April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The operation time, operative blood loss, number of lymph nodes dissected, length of hospital stay and mobidity were evaluated using t test or chi-square test. The survival of the patients were evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy was successfully carried out on 707 patients, and 19 patients were converted to open surgery. The mean operation time, operative blood loss, number of lymph nodes dissected were (179 ±52)minutes, (87 ±51) ml and 33 ± 14, respectively. The average distances of proximal and distal resection margin to the tumors were (6.3 ± 1.9)cm and (5.6 ± 1.7)cm, respectively. The average time to flatus, time to fluid diet and length of hospital stay were (2.9 ± 1.4) days, (3.1 ± 1.7) days and (7.9 ± 3.5) days,respectively. The peri- and postoperative mobidities were 2.2% (16/726) and 4.0% (29/726), respectively. A total of 685 patients were followed up for 6-82 months (mean, 48.3 months), and the 5-year survival rate was 58.4%. Conclusions Laparoscopy-assisted radical gastrectomy is a feasible procedure with minimal trauma, low morbidity and quick recovery of patients.

To study the pharmacokinetics of ~(131)I-Metuximab injection (Licartin) combined with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsLicartin (27.75 MBq/kg) and the mixture of anticancer drug and Lipiodol were sequentially administered with interval of 20 minutes to 15 patients with HCC via a transfemoral catheter.After the Licartin was administrated, the pharmacokinetic and biodistribution data were evaluated through venous blood samples,urine collections,and 4 γ-scintigraphies (SPECT) over 7 days. The pharmacokinetic parameters were determined from integration of the blood radioactivity-time curves using the SPSS 12.0 software. The tumor-no-tumor ratio (T/NT) was calculated by ROI. Absorbed doses in organ were estimated according to the medical internal radiation dose formalism. The biodistribution of licartin within patient's body at different time points was compared for various organs using analysis of variance for repeated measures, as well as the T/NT ratio. ResultsThe blood radioactivity-time curves followed the dynamics two-compartment model, with the major pharmacokinetic parameters including t_(1/2)α(1.96±1.65) h, and t_(1/2)α(19.07±5.91) h,and t_(1/2)β (57.09±10.92) h, and C_(max) 2.113×10~9min~(-1)·L~(-1), and AUC_(0-∞) 1.302×10~(11) h·min~(-1)·L~(-1), respectively. The accumulated urine radioactivity was 52.2% of administrated dosage during 144 h after administration. There were statistical significant difference of biodistribution of licartin and T/NT ratio between organs at different time points (F=6.583, P<0.01 and F=3.546, P<0.01). SPECT scans showed the significant accumulation of the radioconjugate in liver tumor and faint uptake in other organs for 14 days. Tumor-to-liver ratio decreased from 2.88±1.02 at 3 h to 1.64±0.40 at 168 h (n=7). Organ absorbed dose was (3.19±1.01) Gy in liver (n=12) and (0.55±0.09) Gy in red marrow (n=7). ConclusionLicartin combined with TACE for treatment of HCC is helpful to significantly accrete the radioconjugate in liver tumor, and protect normal organs from radiotoxictiy.
