OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical effect of steroids on reducing postoperative edema in rhinoplasty.

METHODSCochrane, Medline data, Pubmed date, were searched and updated on October 2013. Randomized controlled trials(RCTS) studies were included to assess the efficacy of steroids on decreasing postoperative edema after rhinoplasty. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated, and date analyses were performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's software RevMan 5.2.

RESULTSA total of 4 RCTS involved 172 patients with rhinoplasty, including 87 patients in the experimental group( steroid) and 85 paitents in control group (placebo). Meta analysis results showed the edema in experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group on postoperative day 1 and 3 (P < 0.01), while the difference was not significant on postoperative day 7 (P = 0.19).

CONCLUSIONSPerioperative application of steroid in rhinoplasty can significantly reduce periorbital edema in the first postoperative day. The edema can completely be relieved after application of steroid for 3 days. It is a safe and effective way to reduce the postoperative edema.

Objective To investigate the validity of selecting subclones of human breast cancer cells with high-and low-metastatic potentiality,based on their different ability of penetrating the matrigel in vitro,and analyze their biological characteristics.Methods Continuous in vitro invasion assays in matrigel were applied to screen two subclones of human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-435s,characterized by high-and low-metastatic potentiality.Cell growth curve assay,invasion assay,adhesion assay and angiopoiesis-promoting assay were conducted to explore the different biological properties of these two subclone cells.Results Two subclones of MDA-MB-435s,of high-and low-metastatic potentiality respectively,were obtained through continuous in vitro invasion assay,manifesting significant difference in growth rate,invasion ability,adhesion ability and angiopoiesis-promoting ability.Conclusion It is feasible to obtain subclones of human breast cancer cells of high-and low-metastatic potentiality by utilizing their difference in penetrating the matrigel in vitro.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of flow cytometry (FCM) assay in following up of the minimal residual disease (MRD) used for predicting relapse and guiding chemotherapy. Methods The clinical data of 43 acute leukemia patients diagnosed by MIC were collected in our hospital from 2005 July to 2008 June.Bone marrow aspirates were collected from 43 patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia after induction therapy and during constimulation therapy. The cells with leukemia associated with immunophenotype were investigated using FCM, as immunologic target of MRD. Results MRD were detected earlier in predicting the relapse than those of the traditional bone marrow cells morphology assay by an average of 4-6 months. The results of the MRD following up: MRD was negative at CR in 26 cases, 6 cases relapse, 20 cases of them were kept negative during following up. MRD was positive in 17 cases at CR, 9 cases of them were relapse. 4 cases after intensified chemotherapy the MRD became negative and kept egative for more than one year. The MRD of the 43 cases at CR were divided into 3 groups, MRD less than 1×10-4 group (A group) MRD between 5×10-3 and 1×10-4 group (B group) and MRD above 5×10-3 group(C group). By chi square test. There was no statistical significance between A group and B group, but there was tatistical significance between B group and C group (P=0.02). Conclusion The application of FCM in detecting MRD has important clinical significance in predicting relapse and guiding chemotherapy.
