Tuberculosis of bone and joint most commonly occurs in spine, and the main treatment method is anterior debridement, bone grafting and internal fixation. Autologous bone is still considered the "gold standard" when the anterior reconstruction of spine after debridement is needed. Allogeneic bone, artificial bone and artificial intervertebral support bodies such as titanium mesh and some biological materials also have a broad clinical application, but still can not completely replace the autologous bone because of their defects. In the aspect of internal fixation, anterior fixation has become a conventional method for the patients who suffer from active spinal tuberculosis and need anterior debridement of the focus, because this method can provide good support. This review summarizes the present situation of choice for supporting and bone grafting material for anterior reconstruction after debridement of spinal tuberculosis.

Objective To explore the correlation between the parameters of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and prostatic volume in elderly patients with essential hypertension.Methods The 131 elderly patients with essential hypertension from March 2007 to December 2009 were enrolled in this study, including 102 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients and 29 nonBPH (NBPH) patients. All patients underwent ABPM and ultrasound examination of prostate.Prostatic volumes (PV) were calculated and were compared between BPH group and NBPH group.Correlation between parameters of ABPM and PV was analyzed. Results (1)The maximal mean artery pressure (MAPmax) at night was higher in BPH group than in NBPH group [( 104.7 ± 12. 0)mm Hg vs. (99.6± 10. 1) mm Hg, P= 0.039]. (2)There were correlations between PV and MAPmax in all-day (r=0. 184, P=0. 035), MAPmax at daytime (r=0. 183, P=0. 037), MAPmax at night (r=0. 181, P=0. 040), respectively. Conclusions MAPmax of ABPM may be associated with PV in elderly patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combination chemotherapy with bleomycin,etoposide and cisplatin (BEP) regimen on the patients with high-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).Methods Forty-two patients with high-risk GTN admitted in Sichuan Cancer Hospital between Jan.1997 and Oct.2011 were analyzed retrospectively.The International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) prognostic score of all patients was more than 7.The mean age of patients was 30.2years (range 20 -49 years).All patients were treated with more than two cycles BEP regimen and followed up to the patients' death or at the end of Feb.2012.The clinical response,toxicity and the occurrence of secondary tumors were investigated.Results Forty-two high-risk GTN patients received the total of 251courses of the BEP regimen,the average number of courses for each patient was 6.0 courses.Thirty-seven patients achieved complete remission and 5 patients showed drug-resistant.The total complete remission rate of BEP regimen was 88％ ( 37/42 ).Among the complete remission patients,the total courses of BEP regimen of cases getting normal serum β-hCG level was 129 courses ( average 3.5 courses),and the total courses of cases achieving complete remission was 227 courses (average 6.1 courses ).Among the 37 complete remission patients,31 cases were treated with BEP regimen chemotherapy alone,4 patients with BEP regimen chemotherapy combined with surgical treatment (1 case had no cancer after surgery) and 2 cases with BEP regimen chemotherapy combined with radiation therapy.Therefore,the complete remission rate of BEP regimen chemotherapy alone was 74％ (31/42 ).There were 5 patients who showed drug-resistance after 24 courses of BEP regimen chemotherapy (average 4.8 courses),then received etoposide,methotrexate and dactinomycin( EMA )/cyclophosphamide and vincristine sulfate ( CO ) regimen chemotherapy after drugresistance,2 cases combined with radiation therapy,1 case combined with surgical treatment.Ultimately,4cases achieved complete remission,1 case died of cancer.The major toxicities of BEP regimen were included bone marrow suppression,digestive tract side effect and alopecic,followed by mild peripheral neuritis and abnormal liver function,rare cases of mild pulmonary toxicity.There were no severe anaphylaxis and obvious impairment of cardiac,liver,pulmonary and kidney function,except 1 patient (49 years old) had grade Ⅳbone marrow suppression and pulmonary fibrosis worsened after chemotherapy.The bone marrow suppression was mainly Ⅰ - Ⅲ degree neutropenia,and Incidence rate was 66.5％ ( 167/251 ).All the survival patients without secondary tumor.Conclusion For young high-risk GTN patients,BEP regimen chemotherapy may be safe and effective.

Objective To observe the matching between the straight short femoral cephalomedullary nail (PFNA-Ⅱ) and the femoral anterior bow in Chinese patients with intertrochanteric fracture. Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyze the postoperative lateral X-rays of 158 patients with intertrochanteric fracture who had been treated by PFNA- Ⅱ between August 2009 and December 2010.They were 35 men and 123 women,with a mean age of 77.2 years.The relationships between the distal tip of the medullary nail and the anterior cortex of the femur were observed according to a self-designed 6-grade scale (grade 0:central location of the nail tip in the medullary canal; grade 1:deviated location without contact with the cortex; grade 2:contact＜ 1/3 cortex thickness; grade 3:contact ＞ 1/3, ＜ 2/3 cortex thickness; grade 4:contact ＞ 2/3 cortex thickness; grade 5:perforation; posterior deviations in grades 1 to 5 presented as minus).The theoretical distance was measured as if the anterior protrusive nail tip had been placed back to the central axis.The degree of the curvature and its corresponding radius were calculated by the geometric method. Results Of the 158 patients,the distal tip of PFNA- Ⅱ was located centrally along the axis of femur canal in 30 cases(19.0％ ),posteriorly to the central axis in 10 cases(6.3％ ),and anteriorly to the central axis in 118 cases (grades 1 to 3; 74.7％ ),of which 55 cases experienced irritation caused by the contact between the distal tip and the anterior cortex (grades 2 to 3％ ).The mean theoretical distance needed to put back the nail tip to the canal central axis was 1.42 ± 0.18 mm in the 17 cm nails,1.77 ± 0.39 mm in the 20 cm nails,and 2.46 ±0.20 mm in the 24 cm nails.Their corresponding curvature arcs were 2.51° ±2.40°,2.13° ± 1.65° and 2.09° ± 0.98°,and their curvature radii were 1483 ± 818 mm,2329 ± 1293 mm,and3710 ± 1957 mm,respectively. Conclusions There is a significant mismatch between the current short straight celphalomedullary nail (PFNA- Ⅱ) and the femoral anterior how in Chinese population.A curvature design is needed for the short cephaiomedullary nails to match the femoral anterior how of Chinese population.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a devastating vasculitis of the aorta and its major branches,coronary and pulmonary arteries.The clinical manifestations in children are less specific than in adnlts:the disease in children presents with fever,arthralgias,vomiting,weight loss and hypertension.Conventional angiography,which is recognized as the golden standard in evaluating vascular lesions in TA,combined with computer tomography angiography (CTA),magnetic resonance angiography (MRA),ultrasonography,could not only provide important information for early diagnosis,but also detect disease activity.New immunosuppressive agents and biological therapies,such as TNF-a blocking agents,have been verified to be effective although corticosteroids and conventional immunosuppressive agents are still basic treatment.

Objective:To explore the relationship between periodontitis and coronary heart disease (CHD)by meas-uring changes of serum inflammatory cytokine levels.Methods:A total of 197 patients from our hospital were en-rolled,including CHD + periodontitis group (123 cases),pure CHD group (CHD group,39 cases)and pure peri-odontitis group (periodontitis group,35 cases).Another 45 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group. Concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),serum amyloid-a (SAA),high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP)and plasma fibrinogen (Fg)were measured in all groups,and levels of above inflammatory cytokines were compared among four groups.Results:Compared with healthy control group,there were significant rise in levels of above inflammatory cytokines in CHD + periodontitis group (P<0.01 all),Com-pared with CHD group or periodontitis group,there were significant rise in levels of hsCRP [(6.52±2.03)mg/L, (4.34±1.76)mg/L vs.(9.21±2.65)mg/L],IL-6 [(65.32±21.01)ng/L,(65.12±12.34)ng/L vs.(85.76± 25.96)ng/L]and TNF-α[(9.75±3.74)ng/L,(9.34±4.55)ng/L vs.(13.46±8.12)ng/L],SAA [(2.25±1.2) pg/ml,(2.22 ±1.02)pg/ml vs. (2.85±1.45)pg/ml],P<0.05 all in CHD + periodontitis group;there were no significant difference in all serum inflammatory cytokine levels between CHD group and periodontitis group (P>0.05 all).Conclusion:Serum inflammatory cytokine levels significant rise in palients with periodontitis,it is related with coronary heart disease.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of serum human kallikrein11 ( KLK11 ) in patients with ovarian cancer. MethodsThe level of serum KLK11 was determined by enzyme-linked immunoassay(ELISA) for 30 patients with ovarian cancer, 26 patients with benign gynecologic processes and 32 healthy subjects,and the KLK11 value beyond the upper-limit of 95％ credibility interval( 95％ CI) based on the health controls was used as the positive value. The positive rate of KLK11 was compared among the three groups.ResultsThe positive rate of KLK11 in patients with ovarian cancer was significantly higher than those in patients with benign gynecologic processes or in healthy subjects[(73.3％) and(7.7％ ) or(6.3％ ) ,all P ＜0.01 )] ,and there was no significant difference between ovarian benign tumor group and the healthy control group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionThe serum KLK11 should be a novel tumor marker in the clinical diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Breast cancer is caused by somatic mutation. As such, somatic mutation in breast cancer should be described to eluci-date the underlying mechanism. Next-generation sequencing has provided new insights into the genomics of breast cancer. New genes were identified and exhibited a relationship with breast cancer. Although these genes mutated at a low frequency, such genes in different cases could be categorized into specific pathways. Mutational signatures could be found in some cases, but such signatures were gener-ally not related to environmental exposure. Studies on intra-tumoral heterogeneity have revealed the ubiquitous presence of sub-clones in breast cancer;however, a major clone is also observed, accounting for>50%of tumor cells. Current advancements show that breast cancer genomics has been integrated into personalized medicine. Furthermore, a genome-informed and personalized molecular sub-typ-ing and treatment of breast cancer can be developed in the future.
