Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2011;34(20):20-22
Objective To investigate the treatment of local recurrence after sphincter preserving surgery for low rectal cancer. Methods Fifty-six patients with local recurrence after sphincter preserving surgery for low rectal cancer were divided into three groups, 20 cases underwent radical resection (group A), 21 cases underwent palliative resection combined with 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy (group B), and 15 cases only received 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy (group C). Results All the patients were followed up from 6 months to 3 years. The 1-year,2-year and 3-year survival rates were 100.0%(20/20),80.0% (16/20),65.0% (13/20) in group A,90.5% (19/21),52.4% (11/21),33.3% (7/21) in group B and 80.0%(12/15),40.0%(6/15),20.0%(3/15) in group C respectively. Both 2-year and 3-year survival rates in group A were significantly higher than those in group B and group C (P <0.05). Conclusions The first choice of patients with local recurrence after sphincter preserving surgery for low rectal cancer is radical resection. Palliative resection combined with 3 dimensional conformal radiation therapy is the second choice.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) in neonatal hy-poxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Methods Thirty-six neonates with HIE were collected and scanned by GE 3.0 T supercon-ducting MR scanner. Routine axial T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR scan and axial SWI scan were conducted. SWI sequence was compared with conventional head MRI sequences in detection rate of distribution and quantity of intracranial hemorrhage. Meanwhile, the display condition of the dilated cerebral deep veins and cortical veins was observed on SWI image and the performance of HIE in different clinical classification on SWI was compared. Results A total of 97 intracranial hemorrhages were detected by SWI in 27 cases. Only 41, 27 and 51 hemorrhages were found by TIWI, T2WI and FLAIR sequences, respectively. SWI were significantly superior to T1WI, T2WI and FLAIR in displaying the size, scope and boundary definition of hemorrhage. A total of 50 dilated ce-rebral deep veins and cortical veins were detected by SWI in 22 cases which were not found by conventional head sequences. The detection rates of intracranial hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage in addition of dilated cerebral veins on SWI sequence were the lowest in mild HIE group, and highest in severe group. There was significant difference among the mild, medium and severe groups (P<0.05). Conclusions SWI sequence has higher sensitivity than conventional MRI sequence in detecting intracranial hemorrhage and dilated vein in HIE, and is useful for early diagnosis of HIE.

Objective To study the dynamic imaging changes of the uterine leiomyomas before and after uterine arterial embolization (UAE) treatment and to discuss its therapeutic mechanism. Methods Color Doppler senography and both plain and enhanced MR[scanning were performed in 45 patients with uterine leiomyomas before and after UAE. Plain CT scan was performed in all patients after UAE. All the patients were followed up for 3-16 months (average 10±3.5 months). Results In 41 of the total 45 cases, the color Doppler senography showed rich blood flow signals in leiomyomas and myometrium before UAE and no or less blood flow signals in both leiomyomas and myometrium on the first day after UAE. On the seventh day, the blood flow signal was still absent in leiomyomas while it was restored in myometrium, and the same phenomena remained in the first, the third and the twelfth month after UAE. In the other four eases, color Doppler sonography demonstrated blood flow signals inside leiomyomas on the seventh day after UAE and it remained till twelve months after embolization. The embolic agent (Lipiodol) was found in both leiomyomas and myometrium on CT scan for 45 cases on the first day of UAE. CT scan also showed the deposit of the Lipiodol in myometrium, but Lipiodol gradually vanished in leiomyomas at one, three and the twelve months after UAE. The enhancement was apparent in leiomyomas and myometrium on MRI scan in all 45 cases before UAE. The enhancement was found in the myometrium, but not in leiomyomas, on MRI scan in 39 cases 3 months after UAE. The other six cases demonstrated different degrees of enhancement in leinmyomas after embolization. In two cases the detachment of the leiomyomas were observed after embolization and the desquamating materials were pathologicallyproved to be necrotic tissue. The difference in the measuring data about leiomyoma volume between MPI and color Doppler sonography was of no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusion The therapeutic mechanism of UAE for uterine leiomyomas is selectively embolizing the vascular bed of uterus, leading to subsequent necrosis of leiomyomas. The color Doppler sonography should be the fast choice for the dynamic imaging follow-up after UAE.

A method was developed for the determination of fumonisin B1 ( FB1 ) and fumonisin B2 ( FB2 ) in livestock and poultry formula feeds by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS. After extracted by acetonitrile-water (50: 50, V/V) and purified with MAX solid phase extraction column, the fumonisins were separated by Thermo C18(100 mm×2. 1 mm, 5 μm) column with 0. 1% formic acid in water and methanol as the mobile phase. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to acquire mass spectrometric data under electrospray positive ionization mode ( ESI+) . The results showed that the linear correlation coefficients (R2) of fumonisin FB1 and FB2 were all greater than 0. 999 in the range of 1-500 μg/L. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0. 098 and 0. 197 μg/L, and the limits of detection ( LOD) were 0. 328 and 0. 656 μg/L, respectively. At different spiked levels, the recoveries of FB1 and FB2 were ranged from 89. 7% to 95. 1%, and the relative standard deviation ( RSD) was ranged from 3. 2% to 8. 6%. Additionally, the detection rate reached 98. 11% screening through the established method in the 106 livestock and poultry formula feeds collected from markets. This result indicates that the method is suitable for accurate quantitative analysis of FB1 and FB2 in different complicated livestock and poultry formula feeds.

The biological activity of ADCC by anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody was determined by BioGlo™ Luciferase Assay System using Jurkat/NFAT-luc+FcγRIIIa cell line as effector cell and WIL2-S cell line as target cell. The developed method was verified for specificity, precision and accuracy. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody showed a dose-response mode by the developed method, and the determination result complied with the following four-parameter equation: y = (A-D)/[1 + (X/C)(B)] + D. The optimized parameters of the method were determined including the antibodies diluted concentration (18,000 ng·mL(-1)), dilution rate (1:5), the ratio of effector cell and target cell (6:1), and induction time (6 h). The values of eight independent tests have passed a statistical test for curve regression analysis, linear or parallelism, which showed the method possessed good specificity. Four different dilute groups of recovery rates sample were determined for 3 times, and the result showed mean relative potencies of (44.39±3.93)%, (72.74±2.78)%, (128.28±7.01)% and (168.19±2.70)% respectively, with a variation coefficient of less than 10%, and the recoveries of (88.78±7.85)%, (96.99±3.70)%, (102.63±5.61)% and (112.12±1.80)% respectively. A novel reporter gene method for determination of biological activity of ADCC by anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody was successfully developed, which showed strong specificity, good reproducibility and high accuracy, and might be used routinely.

BACKGROUND: Halofuginone has been proved to ameliorate the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE: To further verify the protective effect of halofuginone on early osteoarthritis.METHODS: Forty-five healthy male C57BL6J mice were randomly divided into three groups (n=15 per group): the mice in sham operation group were only subjected to right knee capsulotomy; in the other two groups, animal models of osteoarthritis were established by cutting off the right anterior cruciate ligament, followed by treated with distilled water (placebo group) or 0.5 mg/kg halofuginone (halofuginone group) via gavage, once daily beginning at 3 days after modeling. Twenty-eight days after treatment, all mice were sacrificed and the right knee was removed. The morphology and structure of the joint tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and safranin fast green staining; the expression of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) was detected by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The structure of articular cartilage in the sham operation group was normal, the cells arranged in neat rows, and the articular surface was not worn. In the placebo group, the articular cartilage layer became thinner, the cartilage surface was worn and even fragmented, and cells arranged in disorder. In the halofuginone group,the cartilage cell layer was clear and tidy, with regular cell morphology. The hyaline cartilage thickness and hyaline cartilage thickness/calcified cartilage thickness were ranked as follows: sham operation group > halofuginone group >placebo group. The calcified cartilage thickness was the highest in the placebo group, followed by halofuginone group,and lowest in the sham operation group. Osteoarthritis Research Society International scores and TGF-β1 positive cells/chondrocytes in the halofuginone group were significantly lower than those in the placebo group, and all above indices showed significant differences among groups (P < 0.05). These results suggest that halofuginone via gavage can partially prevent articular cartilage degeneration in early osteoarthritis mice probably by downregulating the expression of TGF-β1, thus delaying the progression of osteoarthritis.
