1.TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS OF PRIMARY EXTRANODAL LYMPHOMAS
Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
This paper presents 73 cases of primary extranodal lymphomas admitted during 1965~1975, accounting for 14.4% of 507 cases of Iymphomas in this department at the same period. The primary tumors occurring in the extranodal sites or organs were fully proved by histories and physical examinations. There were 11 sites or organs. 70 cases have been treated by various methods, 23 by irradiation alone, 47 cases by the combined therapeupics. The 3-year and 5-year survivas rates were 49.2% and 45.1% respectively The prognosis was poor in those who was younger than 20 years of age. The survival rate in stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ was higher than in stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ. The factors causing fatal outcome were the late stage, and incomplete treatment, inadquate radiation dose and inappropriate chemotherapy.
2.Advances in the genetics of spinal muscular atrophy in childhood
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(5):540-541
Spinal muscular atrophy in childhood is one of the most common neuromuscular disorders with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. The main pathogenesis is homozygous loss and small intragenic mutations of the SMN1. SMN2 ,as a very identical copy of SMN1, modulates the disease severity. The functional difference between both genes is a variance of single nucleotide within the coding region, causing silent mutation obviously to decrease SMN2 transcripts. Histone deacetylase inhibitors have been shown better perspective in clinical trials.

Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
A total of 154 sera from patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC), patients with other head and neck tumors(OHNT) and healthy individuals (HI) from Shaanxi province were tested for IgA antibody to EB viral capsid antigen (VCA-IgA) by immunoenzyrnie method. 75.93% of 54 pretreated NPC patients had VCA-IgA antibody with a GMT of 1: 38. 00,whereas less than 12. 00%of 50 OHNT and 50 HI with a GMT of 1: 2. 5 ~ 1: 3. 35.The results showed that the detection of VCA-IgA was of great value in diagnosis of NPC from low risk areas. The elevated level of VCA-IgA was seen in well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma which gave a pattern similar to that noted in vacuolar nuclear cell carcinoma or less-differentiated carcinoma, but not in undifferentiated carcinoma. The VCA-IgA positive ratio in NPC patients below 30-year-old was similar to that in OHNT, however the GMT was elevated markedly. The results above showed that VCA-IgA antibody was of little value in diagnosis of NPC below 30-year-old and undifferentiated carcinoma.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of sliding hernia of adult urinary bladder. Methods Clinical data of 32 cases of adult sliding hernia of the bladder from 1984 to 2009 were analyzed retrospectively. Discomfort was complained in all the 32 patients along with palpable mass. Twentynine cases suffered from urgency of micturition, ascheturesis and dysuria, 15 cases had interruption of urination. The mass was saddle-shaped in 29 cases, when the bladder was filling. In all the 32 cases of hernia block were in a sense of fluctuations and flat on percussion. In 26 cases the bladder appeared a dumbbell-shaped image on cystography. By B-ultrasonic examination an opaque dark area of fluid was detected in 29 cases when there was retention of urine. Results Preoperatively 29 cases were diagnosed of bladder sliding hernia, 3 cases with misdiagnosis ( misdiagnosis rate of 9.4% ). 32 cases were cured by surgical treatment. The prolapsed portion of the bladder including stones in 2 cases were resected. 32 cases were followed up from 1 to 5 years without recurrence. Conclusions Once the sliding hernia of the bladder is diagnosed, patient should receive surgery. Intraoperatively the key of preventing inadvertent cut or missed diagnosis is familiar with pathological anatomy and careful exploration.

Objective To investigate the role of mitochondrial KATP (mito-KATP) channel in reduction of renal ischemia-repeerfusion (I/R) injury by ischemic postconditioning (IPo) in rats. Methods Thirty-five adult male SD rats weighing 250-280 g were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 7 each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S); group Ⅱ I/R; group Ⅲ IPo; group Ⅳ 5-HD + I/R and group V 5-HD + IPo. The rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal (IP) chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg. Bilateral kidneys were exposed and their pedicles were occluded for 45 min with atraumatic mini-clamp followed by 6 h reperfusion in group Ⅱ - Ⅴ . In group Ⅲ and Ⅴ 3 cycles of 10 s reperfusion followed by 10 s ischemia were applied immediately after 45 min kidney ischemia. In group Ⅳ and Ⅴ 5-HD (a specific blocker of the mito-KATP channel) 10 mg/kg was given IP at 30 min before ischemia. Blood samples were obtained at 6 h of reperfusion for determination of serum creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations. The animals were then killed. Bilateral kidneys were removed for determination of mitochondrial membrane potential in the renal tubular epidural cell and intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS)content and free Ca2+ concentrations. Results Renal I/R significantly increased serum Cr and BUN concentrations and intracellular free Ca2+ concentration and ROC content and decreased mitochondrial membrane potential as compared with sham operation group. IPo significantly attenuated the I/R-induced changes mentioned above. The protective effects of IPo against renal I/R injury was reversed by 5-HD. Conclusion Mito-KATP channel is involved in reduction of I/R-induced renal injury by ischemic postconditioning.

BACKGROUND: In vivo and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer is the best cervical fusion cage material due to its good biocompatibility, elastic modulus similar to human bone, and satisfactory plasticity and hardness.OBJECTIVE: To assess the outcomes of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) cage filled with nano-artificial bone following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.METHODS: In total 17 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy were collected from the Department of Orthopedics, First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between May 2007 and September 2009. There were 12 males and 5 females,averaging 55 (range 42-67) years of age. All patients underwent ACDF using PEEK cage filled with nano-artificial bone. Patients'neurological functions were assessed on the basis of Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scoring system. The distance between the midpoint of the upper end plate and lower end plate was measured as interboby height. Radiographs with the neck in lateral flexion and extension were obtained to evaluate fusion results.RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Seventeen patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy participated in the final analysis.Almost all patients had symptomatic improvement. Within postoperative several days, muscle strength of lower limb was increased, and limb was more flexible after surgery than prior to surgery. At 3 months after surgery, JOA scores were significantly increased compared to prior to surgery, the operated segments were stable and disc space height was satisfactory. In addition, no complications were found, and all cases achieved solid fusion, as confirmed by radiographs. These findings suggest that the immediate stability of the operated segments can be obtained by anchoring PEEK cage, and the nano-artificial bone-filled PEEK cage is safe, simple, and with relatively few complications. It is therefore a good choice for patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy.
