Objective To study the role of gasless laparoscopic techniques in the treatment of abdominal trauma. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on clinical data of 52 cases of abdominal trauma considered unfit for pneumoperitoneum treated by gasless laparoscopic surgery. Results Prompt diagnosis and treatment were achieved in 43 cases. A conversion to laparoscopic exploration under pneumoperitoneum was required in 5 cases. The remaining 4 cases of severe injuries of the spleen and the bowel were cured by a conversion to open surgery after the determination of the incision site under gasless laparoscope. There were no fatal cases in the study. Conclusions Use of gasless laparoscopic techniques for the diagnosis, treatment and determination of incision site in patients with abdominal trauma considered unfit for pneumoperitoneum is feasible. It is a necessarily additional alternative to traditional laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of scaling and root planning combined with application of the emodin thermosensitive hydrogel on periodontitis. Methods Forty patients with chronic periodontitis with a total of eighty teeth were included in the study.For each patient after scaling and root planning,the teeth on one side were assigned as the test group and treated with the emodin thermosensitive hydrogel in the pocket once a week for four weeks.The teeth on the other side were assigned as the control group.All the clinical parameters were recorded at the baseline,the 6th week and 12th week after the treatment. Results At the baseline,there was no difference in the clinical parameters between the test group and the control group(P＞0.05).A statistically significant improvement of all clinical parameters was observed in both groups 6w later(t = 39.06、62.76、20.50、8.05、158.32、31.45、46.53、8.43、8.08、8.03)(P＜0.01＝,and all clinical parameters of the test group were better than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(t = 31.50、27.91、3.92、7.38、20.09)(P＜0.01＝. Conclusion The emodin thermosensitive hydrogel could effectively control the symptoms of periodontitis.

Objective To explore the dosimetry of simplified intensity modulated radiotherapy (sIMRT)in the spinal component of craniospinal irradiation(CSI)compared with conventional plan(3D-CRT).Methods Five previously treated patients were adopted to generate 3D-CRT,3-and 5-field slMRT plans.The prescribed dose was 36 Gy to the planning target volume(PTV)in 20 fractions.The dose distributions of target volume and normal tissues,and homogeneity index(HI)were ananlyzed using the dose volume histogram.The total monitor units(MUs)were also analyzed to compare the delivery time indirectly.Results For 3D-CRT plans,the region of the neighbouring fields only received 70％ of the prescribed dose,and the maximum dose delivered in the normal tissues was increased to approximately 140％ of the prescribed dose.The homogeneity index(HI)of 3-and 5-field sIMRT were 0.09 ± 0.01 and 0.08 ±0.01,respectively,superior to that of 3D-CRT(0.18 ± 0.02,t=7.80,7.65,P＜0.05).The values of V10 for the heart of 3-and 5-field sIMRT were(8.4 ± 1.9)％ and(8.4 ± 2.0)％,respectively,lower than that of 3D-CRT((36.0 ± 6.0)％(t=13.3,13.0,P＜0.05).V20 for the thyroid gland were (12.4±1.5)％ and(12.4±1.6)％,respectively,lower than(69.4±5.7)％ of 3D-CRT(t=26.3,26.4,P＜0.05).V20 for the larynx were(17.2 ± 1.2)％ and(17.9 ± 1.5)％,respectively,lower than that of 3D-CRT[(89.4±7.0)％(t=25.5,26.5,P＜0.05)].V30for the NTwas(4.4±1.4)％,(4.9± 1.9)％,lower than that of 3 D-CRT[(31.9 ± 6.1)％(t=8.5,10.1,P＜0.05)].The averaged values of total MUs for 3-and 5-field sIMRT were 1100 ± 177 and 1160 ±204,respectively,higher than that of 3D-CRT(640 ± 151).Conclusions Compared with the 3D-CRT CSI technique,3-and 5-field sIMRT have better dose distribution and can improve target dose uniformity and protect the organs at risk.

BACKGROUND: There have been no effective means for clinical treatment of large regions of bone defects.Nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen(nHAC)composite would provide a new pathway for repair of bone defects owing to its similar structure to natural skeleton and better biocompatibility.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of nHAC composite co-cultured with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs)in repair of bone defects.METHODS: Following isolation and culture,human BMSCs were co-cultured with nHAC composite.Gross observation,histological analysis,and electron microscope observation were performed to analyze osteogenesis for repair of bone defects in the clinic.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human nHAC could greatly proliferate in vitro.X-ray photography revealed that bone defects well healed after implantation of nHAC/BMSCs composite.These findings indicate that BMSCs exhibit osteogenic potential and nHAC is a satisfactory scaffold material for construction of tissue-engineered bone.

Objective: To investigate the differential expression of Sox9 in conventional chondrosarcoma,dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma and normal cartilage. Methods: We reported 12 cases of chondrosarcomas,which were initially diagnosed as chondrosarcomas(6 cases of conventional chondrosarcoma and 6 cases of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma)at Peking University People's Hospital between January 2003 and January 2007.We used genechip method to identify difierentially expressed genes involved in conventional chondrosarcoma,dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma and in normal cartilage(6 cases)and found thousands of differentially expressed genes after extensive statistical analysis.With Sox9 which played crucial roles in the process of both differentiation and maturation of chondrocyte as a candidate,we used Real-time PCR,Westem blot and immunohistochemistry to confirm the results found by gene chip. Results: DNA microarray results showed that Sox9 was up-regulated about 1.6 times in conventional chondrosarcoma compared with that in normal cartilage.But in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma,the expression level of Sox9 was significantly down-regulated,0.082 times of that in normal cartilage.Real-time PCR results showed that the expression levels of Sox9 mRNA in conventional chondrosarcomas and dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas were 1.68±0.119 and 0.088±0.017,respectively.Sox9 protein level was significantly higher in humen conventional chondrosarcomas than that in normal cartilage.Sox9 protein level in dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas was significantly lower than that in normal cartilage tissue.All of the 6 cases of conventional chondrosarcomas showed diffuse and strong staining of Sox9.However,Only scattered staining was observed in dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas. Conclusion: Compared with that in normal cartilage,Sox9 expression is up-regulated in conventional chondrosarcomas and down-regulated in dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas.Decrease of Sox9 expression in dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma is correlated with poor survival,indicating that Sox9 may serve as a molecular prognostic marker for chondrosarcomas and disease progression.

Objective To investigate the value of prostate-bladder angle (PBA) measured by MRI in the diagnosis of benign prostate obstruction (BPO). Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on 87 benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients referred for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) between March 2009 and November 2009. PBA was measured by MRI and urodynamic parameter Qmax was measured as well. With the diagnostic criteria of BPO as Qmax＜10 ml/s, the patients were divided into two groups: obstruction group and non-obstruction group. PBA was compared between these two groups. The sensitivity and the specificity of PBA in diagnosing BPO were also analyzed. Results The age range of the patients was 57-90 years with a median age 73 years; Qmax was 2.325.4 ml/s with median Qmax 7.9 ml/s; PBA was 4°-52° with median PBA 27°. There were 25 patients in the non-obstruction group with PBA between 4°- 21°(13°); in the obstruction group,there were 62 patients with PBA between 15°- 52°(34°). PBA was found statistically different between the obstruction and non-obstruction group (P＜0.01). With the cutoff at PBA≥20°for the diagnosis of BPO, the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis were 90. 3 % (56/62)and 96.0% (24/25), respectively. Conclusion PBA measured by MRI is valuable and can be used as a new non-invasive parameter in the diagnosis of BPO.
