Objective Extramedullary plagmocytoma at diagnose or during the course of multiple myeloma is rare.In order to know this entity better and explore new therapy for it,by combining with literature review,we conducted a retrospective study to describe the clinical and laboratory features of this entity and the outcome of these manirestation.Methods From January 2001 to July 2007,123 multiple myeloma patients were treated in our hospital.We analysed the clinical features of patients with extramedullary plagmocytoma at diagnose or during the course of multiple myeloma.The response to therapy was evaluated according to the EBMT criteria.Results 9 eligible patients out of 123 with MM were retrieved from the hematology department of Beijing Chaoyang hospital.The median age was 55(range:48～66)with a female/male ratio of 1/8.One patients was found to have Extramedullary and extraosseous tumor at the time of MM diagnose,and eight patients developed Extramedullary tumor during the course of the disease.Multiple sites were usually involved.Resistance to traditional chemotherapy wag frequent.With a median follow-up of 19 months(range:3～47),2 patients are alive.Median time from progression of disease to diagnose of Extramedullary disease was 4 and a half months.The median interval from diagnosis of Extramedullary disease to death was 2 months and OS was 23 months.Conclusion Extramedullary plasmocytoma is a rare manifestation of MM,with a cumulative incidence of 7.3% of MM in our department.Multiple sites are usually involved.The resistance to the traditional chemotherapy is frequent and the prognosis is very poor.The new therapy is necessarily explored.

Objective To investigate the effects of right or left transaction of cervical sympathetic trunk (TCST) on left ventricalar remodeling (LVRM) after acute myocardial infarction in rats and the mechanism. Methods Sixty-four adult mule pathogen-free SD rats (230-250 g) were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=16 each): group Ⅰsham operation (group S) ; group Ⅱ LVRM; group Ⅲ left TCST and group Ⅳ right TCST. Myocardial infarct was induced by ligation of left anterior descending branch (LAD) of coronary artery in group Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ. Left and right TCST were performed immediately after myocardial infarct was successfully induced in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ respectively. In group S LAD and cervical sympathetic trunk were exposed but not ligated and transected. The animals were killed at 4 weeks after ligation of LAD and TCST. The weight of left ventricle was measured and left ventricle weight index calculated, Left veatricular myocardial tissue volume (V_t), the volume density of myocardial cells (V_v) and myocardial cell volmne (V_c) were quantitatively analyzed by stereological method. The c-fos mRNA expression in myocardium was determined by RT-PCR. Results The left ventricle weight index, V_t, V_c and c-fos mRNA expression were significantly increased in group LVRM (Ⅱ), left and right TCST (Ⅲ, Ⅳ) as compared with group S. Left ventricle weight index, V_v, V_t, V_c and c-fos mRNA expression were all significantly decreased in fight TCST group (Ⅳ), while left ventricle weight index, V_t, V_c and c-fos mRNA expression were significantly increased in left TCST group (Ⅲ) as compared with LVRM group (Ⅱ). Conclusion Right TCST down-regulates the increase in c-fos mRNA expression after acute myocardial infarction and inhibits the left ventricular remodeling while left TCST up-regulates the c-fos mRNA expression and promotes the development of left ventricular remodeling.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of family history , psychosocial factors of PD (Parkinson's Disease) in a rural population in north China. Methods: A case control study was conducted in rural population in China. Cases (n=77) have been diagnosed by a two-phase screening by neurologists and interviewers in May, 2000. Controls (n=154), randomly selected from the same cohort, who were matched with patients (control/cases ra-tio=2) for sex, age (?5 years). Information of participants' characteristics came from the interview in 2001. Data was analyzed by using conditional logistic regression by SAS 6.12. Results: Family history (OR=13.54) .negative life events (OR=3.02), interpersonal communication (OR=2.10) were associated with a significantly elevated risk for the onset of PD. Conclusion: These results indicate that family history, psychosocial factors were risk factors of PD.

Objective To observe vasculogenic mimicry (VM) of human choroidal melanoma cell line OCM-1 cultured in vitro and the expression of PI3K and EphA2 protein,as well as to explore the possible mechanisms.Methods OCM-1 cells were cultured in vitro and stained with periodic acid Schiff (PAS) on days 7,which aimed to observe the formation of PAS-positive cyclic structures,that is,VM formation.Then immunohistochemical staining was performed to detect PI3K and EphA2 on day 1,4,7 and the results were observed.Ressults On day 4 of 3-demintional culture,most of OCM-1 cells were polygonal and the cytoplasm was abundant;the nuclei were round and the nucleoli were visible.A small part of the tumor cells were long spindle.It was found that several long spindle cells were connected to each other to form hemicyclic structure.After 7 days,a large number of tumor cells became long spindle,growing along the collagen scaffold,and long protrusions appeared,forming a ring structure.PAS staining showed that the tumor cells were mostly arranged in a row,and tumor cells imitated the formation of body blood vessels,resulting in cell band and pipeline-like cell layers,with one layer of extracellular matrix (PAS-positive substance) making up the ring structure.Moreover,the expression levels of PI3K and EphA2 on day 4 and 7 were significantly higher than those on day 1 (all P ＜ 0.05),and their expression levels on day 7 were higher than those on day 4 (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion EphA2 and PI3K may play an important role in the VM formation in 3-dimentional culture of human choroidal melanoma cell line OCM-1.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of negative pressure wound therapy and to discuss the ethi-cal issues in this therapy and seek a solution. Methods:Sixty patients with negative pressure wound therapy in our hospital were invited to participate in this study. Patients were all with deep pressure ulcers or diabetic foot, of which the Wagner Scores were graded as three or four. They were divided into two groups randomly. The subjects in control group received standard treatment, while those in experimental group were treated by self -designed closed negative pressure drainage settings. The wound healing time, the cost of the treatment and comfort were compared between the two groups. Results:The cost of wound care in the experimental group was less than those in the control group (P<0. 001). There was no significant difference in comfort between two groups (P>0. 05). But the wound healing time was longer in the experimental group than those in the control group. Conclusion:Self-designed closed negative pressure settings can decrease the cost of patient care with the equal patient comfort and acceptance as the standard negative pressure, however, the wound healing time has been extended. So before using negative pressure technique, the medical staff should comprehensively analyze, be guided by medical ethics and choose the appropriate treatment for different patients.

BACKGROUND:Airway epithelial regeneration can effectively inhibit submucosal hyperblastosis and the occurrence of obliteration. Studies demonstrated that ventilation could accelerate the regeneration of airway epithelium. OBJECTIVE:To establish and improve an orthotopic tracheal transplantation model and to further observe the effects of ventilation on trachea in alogeneic mice. METHODS:C57BL/6 mouse's tracheal served as donor, and BALB/c mouse's tracheal as recipient. This experiment contained two groups. In the experimental group, the membranous part of trachea was longitudinaly dissected in two donors and sutured into an enlarged trachea, which was implanted in the recipient. In the control group, donor's trachea was implanted into the recipient in situ. Samples were obtained and detected at 28 days after surgery. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hematoxylin-eosin staining results demonstrated that compared with the control group, wel-differentiated ciliated epithelium was visible in the epithelial lamina of tracheal lumen, accompanying a few non-ciliated single or stratified squamous epithelium, mild submucosal fibrosis and inflammatory cel infiltration. Morphological analysis revealed that ciliated epithelial proportion in the experimental group was higher than in the control group (P < 0.05). The ratio of lamina propria to the tracheal cartilage, submucous fibrous tissuearea and the degree of lymphocyte infiltration were lower in the experimental group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that the transplanted tracheal epithelium in both groups was recipient epithelial phenotype. Results verified that a modified orthotopic tracheal transplantation model was successfuly established. The increased ventilation of the tracheal alografts can accelerate the differentiation of tracheal epithelium. The wel-differentiated airway epithelium inhibited the proliferation of fibroblast.

Objective To analyze and evaluate neoadjuvant chemotherapy's value and significance in combining with surgical treatment for limited small cell lung cancer(LD-SCLC).Methods A total of 94 LD-SCLC patients underwent complete resections combined with chemotherapy between January 2000 and January 2011 in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital.Among these cases,initial two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapies were performed for all pathologically confirmed patients (Group A),and initial operations followed by adjuvant chemotherapy were administered to patients without pathology (Group B).The survival rate was analyzed by log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier method.Multivariate analysis of the prognostic factors was performed using Cox's regression model.Results Group A included 43 cases and Group B included 51 cases.The mean age was (56.37 ± 10.18) years.According to the 6th edition of Tumor,Node,Metastasis(TNM) classification of lung cancer,54 cases were at stage Ⅰ or Ⅱ,40 cases were at stage Ⅲ.Overall 5-year survival(5-YS) was 27％.The 5-YS for patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ was notably better than that of stage Ⅲ (34％ vs 20％,P =0.033).For patients with stage Ⅲ,the 5-YS of Group A was significantly better than that of Group B(34％ vs 12％,P =0.020),besides median overall survival for Group A and Group B were 46 and 15 months(P =0.009).Furthermore,the results of multivariate analysis showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy,surgery and histopathology of SCLC were independent factors that strongly affected survival and prognosis.Conclusion In combined surgical treatment for LD-SCLC,neoadjuvant chemotherapy obviously improved the prognosis of patients with stage Ⅲ.Therefore,it was very important and necessary that pre-surgical neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered to resectable stage Ⅲ LD-SCLC patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of lung keratinocyte growth factor receptor (KGFR) in rats with acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) in different time points and its role in lung edema.Methods Thirty-two adult Wistar rats weighing 240 g to 260 g were assigned to experimental group (n =16) and control group (n =16) according to the random number table.Each group consisted of time points of 24 hours,3 days,1 week and 2 weeks after the modeling (4 rats per time point).A rat model of ASCI in experimental group was induced at C7 segment by dropping a weight of 10 g from the height of 2.5 cm (Allen' s method).In control group,laminas were removed only,leaving spinal cord at C7 intact.Rats were sacrificed at each time point for measurement of lung wet/dry weight ratio,Western blot analysis of expression of lung KGFR protein and RT-qPCR detection of lung KGFR mRNA expression.Results After ASCI in rats,the expressions of lung KGFR protein and mRNA began to drop at 24 hours (0.23 ±0.06,0,012 1 ±0.002 3),reached the trough at 3 days (0.17 ±0.04,0.008 5 ±0.001 7)and picked up at 1 week.Expression of lung KGFR mRNA in experiment group showed statistically significant difference from that in control group at 24 hours and 3 days (P ＜ 0.05),whereas in each time point the difference of KGFR protein expression between experiment and control groups was statistically significant(P ＜0.05).Variation trend of KGFR expression was in parallel with the severity degree of pulmonary edema.Conclusion Lung KGFR presents significant down-regulation in ASCI rats and this may be associated with the development of pulmonary edema after ASCI.
