Objective To evaluate the influence of the alendronate treatment in early-stage adult nontraumatic avascular necrosis of femoral head. Methods The 83 patients with nontraumatic avascular necrosis of femoral head were enrolled in this study. They were given oral alendronate 70 mg weekly, and evaluated with Harris criteria before and after treatment. Results In the patients with ARCO Ⅰ necrosis, the scores of pain and function were higher after treatment than before [(41.45±3.55) scores vs. (38. 48± 5.55) scores, t = 3. 70, P = 0. 001; (45.06 ± 1.50) scores vs. (43.97 ±2.31) scores, t= 3.76, P= 0. 001]. In the patients with ARCO Ⅱ necrosis, the scores of pain,function and activity were also higher after treatment than before [(40. 40±4.31 ) scores vs. (37.32±6. 65) scores, t=4.06, P=0.00; (42.90±2.70) scores vs. (41.66±3.35) scores, t=3.15, P=0.003; (4.76±0.47) scores vs. (4.42±0.70) scores, t=3.35, P=0.002]. Conclusions Alendronate is effective in treatment of early-stage adult nontraumatic avascular necrosis of femoral head, in particular for ARCO Ⅱ patients. But its long-term effect is worth researching in future.

Objective To observe the effects of fosamax on the fracture healing and the bone mineral density(BMD)in postmenopausal women with radius distal osteoporotic fracture(RDOF).Methods All the 62 patients with RDOF were randomly divided into 2 groups after the fracture was fixed manually.Thirty-two patients in treated group took fosamax 1 tablet(70 mg)per week for 12 weeks and caltrate D 600 mg per day,while the other 30 patients in control group took caltrate D 600 mg per day only.The BMD and the fracture healing time were detected after 12 weeks' treatment.Results The fracture healing time was(9.31±2.50)weeks in treated group and was(13.0±2.8)weeks in control group(t=5.54,P<0.01).BMD was significantly increased after treatment in treated group[(0.615±0.075)g/cm2 vs.(0.665±0.085)g/cm2,t=2.50,P<0.05],while there was no obvious change of BMD in control group[(0.620±0.085)g/cm2 vs.(0.617±0.075)g/cm2,P>0.05].BMD was higher in treated group than in control group after treatment(t=2.46,P<0.05). Conclusions Fosamax can promote formation of bony callus,increase BMD and shorten external fixation time of radius distal osteoporotic fracture in postmenopausal women.

BACKGROUND:Breast cancer stem cel s have a greater impact on the occurrence and metastasis of breast cancer. Under simulated tumor microenvironment, we can better analyze the proliferation and differentiation of breast cancer stem cel s. OBJECTIVE:To explore the tumor microenvironment effect on the differentiation of breast cancer stem cel s. METHODS:Breast cancer cel s and MCF-7 cel s were primarily cultured in fibroblast supernatant and serum-free PCM-2 medium, and formation of breast cancer cel s microspheres was observed. Proliferative ability of breast cancer cel s was detected using MTT colorimetry, and the surface markers of breast cancer stem cel s and epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers were measured using immunocytochemistry and RT-PCR methods. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The diameter of primary cel microspheres was larger in the serum-free PCM-2 medium than in the fibroblast supernatant, but the culture speed was faster in the fibroblast supernatant than the serum-free PCM-2 medium. At 3 days of primary culture, the expression of ALDH1 in primary cel s was greatly higher in the serum-free PCM-2 medium than in the fibroblast supernatant. However, the expressions of E-cadherin and vimentin were up-regulated in the fibroblast supernatant than in the serum-free PCM-2 medium. In addition, the expressions of E-cadherin and vimentin in MCF-7 cel s cultured in the fibroblast supernatant were up-regulated, while the expressions of ALDH1 and Oct-4 were downregulated. These findings indicate that the tumor environment has some certain effects on the growth and differentiation of breast cancer stem cel s, and some cytokines secreted from fibroblast supernatant can promote the proliferation and differentiation of breast cancer stem cel microspheres to some extent.

Objective To explore the effect and its clinical significance of different dose of glucocorticoids on inflammation mediators in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.Methods 45 patients admitted to our hospitals from March 2007 to March 2011 were randomly divided into 3 groups:methylprednisolone 40 mg group (methylprednisolone 40mg,iv,qd),methylprednisolone 80 mg group (methylprednisolone 80mg,iv,bid),and control group (without any glucocorticoids).The changes of dyspnea scores,arterial blood gas analysis,clinical symptom scores and serum IL-6,IL-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) levels were detected in patients of each group before and at the 7th day after treatment.The related adverse drug reactions were recorded.Results The improvements in clinical symptom scores,Borg scores,PaCO2,PaO2 after treatment were higher in methylprednisolone 40 mg group and methylprednisolone 80 mg group than in control group (F=3.6747.162 and 42.88,respectively,P<0.01 or 0.001),and the above improvements was better in methylprednisolone 80 mg group than in methylprednisolone 40 mg group (all P<0.05).The decreases in levels of serum IL-8,TNF-α,IL-6,C-RP after the treatment were more significant in methylprednisolone 40 mg group and methylprednisolone 80 mg group than in control group (F=12.65,16.17,30.99,respectively,all P<0.001),and the decrements were more significant in methylprednisolone 80 mg group than in methylprednisolone 40 mg group(all P<0.05).NO serious adverse drug reactions happened during the course of treatment in the three groups.Conelusions Short-term and moderate dose of glucocorticoid treatment is effective and safe in treating the patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.Methylprednisolone 80 mg injection daily can more obviously improve AECOPD symptoms,and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors better.

Objective To analyze the epidemiologic features of visceral leishmaniasis in different age groups in China from 2005 to 2012,and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and treatment of the disease.Methods The visceral leishmaniasis cases were obtained from China disease epidemic monitoring information system from 2005 to 2012.All the cases were divided into subgroups by demographic characteristics:infant (<1 year old),childcare (≥1 and <4 years old),child (≥4 and <15 years old),adult (≥15 and <65 years old) and senior adult (above 65 years old).The epidemiologic features,such as gender,season of disease onset and area distribution of visceral leishmaniasis were analyzed.Results The total reported visceral leishmaniasis from 2005 to 2012 were 2 979,among which cases in infant,childcare,child,adult and senior adult were 24.9%,21.7%,20.0%,32.4% and 1.0%,respectively.Infant cases were most reported in April; childcare cases in December which began to increase since September; child cases in October and adult and senior adult in March.The reported cases were mainly from Xinjiang,Gansu and Sichuan areas.However,age characteristics differed among regions,which were mainly infants,both childcare and children,and adults,respectively in this three areas.The duration from onset to diagnosis was shortest in infant group (11 d) and longer in adult group (15 d).Conclusions The number of visceral leishmaniasis cases in different age groups peaks in different months.Regional distribution is not even.Cases are most concentrated in Xinjiang,Gansu and Sichuan areas.Infants predominate in Xinjiang,childcare and children in Gansu and adults in Sichuan.
