An early and accurate response evaluation is essential for clinicians to decide whether to continue the treatment with current thera-peutic regimen or to make necessary changes.This article briefly introduces the development of response evaluation criteria for tumors,elab-orates on the application of radiological evaluation criteria in local interventional therapy or sorafenib treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),compares the four radiological evaluation criteria,i.e.,World Health Organization (WHO)criteria,Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST),European Association for the Study of Liver (EASL)criteria,and the modified RECIST (mRECIST),and thinks that EASL criteria and mRECIST are better than WHO criteria and RECIST and can predict the prognosis of HCC patients at earlier time points.

[Objective]To study the curative effect and superiority of one stage anterior-posterior approach total spondylectomy and spinal reconstraction in the treatment of thoracolumbar malignant neoplasms.[Method]Twenty-four thoracolumbar malignant neoplasms patients treated by anterior approach total spondylectomy,spinal reconstractin with titanium mesh cage associated with bone graft or bone cement and posterior approach transpediuclar screw fixation.[Result]The follow-up of postoperation was from 9 to 35 months.All patients achieved relieve of pain after surgery,9 cases with incomplete paraplegia improved by 1.8 grades in average with Frankel neurological classifications,2 cases with dysfunction of urination and defecation were recovered,4 patients decease for metastasis in critical organ,all the patients showed bony fusion at 6~9 months,no internal fixation loosening or breakage case was found,1 case was recrudescent after one year.[Conclusion]Treatment of thoracolnmbar malignant neoplasms by one stage anterior-posterior approach total spondylectomy and spinal reconstraction can remove the neoplasms efficiently,reconstraction the spinal stabilization and improve the quality of life.

[Objective] To analyze the mechanics of neotype retropharyngeal cervical hook-plate(RCHP)for atlantoaxial instability with biomechanical testing.[Methods]Six fresh adult craniocervical specimens(C0～3)used for testing the biomechanical instability were all putted into following five test courses:intact,instability(Type ⅡOdontoid fracture),RCHP,Anterior C1、2 transarticular screw fixation,brooks.Repeated statistical analysis of the data was performed using the SPSS 13.0 software package.Measures were performed with SNK testing method to determine whether significant differences existed,P=0.05.[Results]Biomechanical testing showed that,compared with the controlled group and the injured group,each fixation course significantly decreased ROM in all test modes.In the ROM of flexion,there was no significant difference between RCHP and Brooks(P=0.525),but both of them was higher than anterior C1、2 transarticular screw fixation(P

Non-motor symptoms are an important component of the manifestations of Parkinson's disease(PD);they usually include sleep disorder,neuropsychotic symptoms,autonomic dysfunction,pain,and so on.Non-motor symptoms are multifactorial and mainly involve various non-dopaminergic neurotransmitter systems.These symptoms are not only a result of disease progression,but also can appear in the early stage of the disease,and they can have a major impact on the quality of life.The early notice of these symptoms may lead to better therapeutic strategies and subsequently to the improvement of the quality of life in PD patients.

Objective To study the protective effects of anisodamine (ADM) on ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in rats. Methods After anesthesia was induced and tracheostomy was performed, 36 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into three groups: control group (group A, VT=8ml/kg); injury group (group B), in which the animals received mechanical ventilation with large tidal volume (VT=40ml/kg); and ADM protective group (group C), in which the animals received the same amount of tidal volume and same respiratory rate with mechanical ventilation as in group B, but were pre-treated with ADM (15mg/kg?iV) at 24h, 12h, 0h time points before ventilation. Arterial blood gases were measured every one hour, and neutrophils in bronchoalveolor lavage fluid (BALF) were counted. Wet to dry (W/D) weight ratio of left lung was determined, and the content of TNF-? and IL-1? in BALF and blood, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in the pulmonary tissue and blood were measured respectively. The histopathological changes in pulmonary tissues in the three groups were compared. Results The oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) of the animals in group B was significantly lower than that in group A and C, and the BALF neutrophil count was remarkably increased in group B. W/D value of group B was significantly higher than that of group A and C. The levels of TNF-?, IL-1? in BALF were remarkably increased in group B , but decreased in group C . MDA levels in pulmonary tissue and blood in group C were lower than that of group B, but SOD level in group C was significantly higher than that of group B. Histopathologic findings demonstrated there were more neutrophil infiltration and destructive change in the alveolar wall in group B than in other groups. Conclusion ADM appears to have obvious protective effects on VILI through anti-inflammation and antioxidation.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, many scholars adopted a joint non-fusion and fusion spinal fixation for multisegmental cervical spondylotic myelopathy, and achieved good clinical results. However, long-term clinical efficacy and possible related complications also require long-term fol ow-up of more in-depth study.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research and application progress of anterior fusion and non-fusion fixation surgical operation for cervical myelopathy.
METHODS:Computer-based search was conducted in China Journal Ful-text Database and PubMed database by the first author for articles related to anterior fusion and non-fusion fixation surgical operation for cervical myelopathy published between January 2004 and January 2014. The key words were“implant material;cervical spondylotic myelopathy;anterior;surgery;fusion;non-fusion;progress;hybrid;summary”in Chinese and“implant material;cervical spondylotic myelopathy;anterior;surgery/operation;fusion;non-fusion;research progress;hybrid;summary”in English. Final y, 35 articles were included for review.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fusion and non-fusion fixation methods for cervical spondylotic myelopathy had their own advantages. From the view point of indications, the non-fusion fixation was relatively limited. Currently, the fusion fixation was stil the main method in treatment of cervical myelopathy. Non-fusion method as an emerging fixation method also achieved good short-period results, but it needs a long fol ow-up study. Hybrid fixation integrates the advantages of both methods, and can reduce the pressure. Simultaneously, Hybrid fixation also can reduce fusion segments, and retain the range-of-motion of the cervical spine as much as possible. Hybrid fixation becomes a hot topic in recent studies. However, most current researches on Hybrid fixation are retrospective study, lack of control. The overal fol ow-up time is short. Thus, Hybrid fixation needs to be researched more deeply.

Objective To maintain the good psychological state of new nurses, stabilize nursing troop and improve nursing quality, we investigate the work pressure source and mental health of new nurses and analyze the correlation among work pressure, mental resilience and mental health. Methods According to the principle of convenience sampling,a total of 116 new nurses who get the job less than one year in the first hospital of Jilin university were investigated using the method of questionnaire survey. The Conner Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were involved in the questionnaire. Results Mental resilience scores of new nurses were (63.73±15.11), the scores of anxiety and depression were (34.49±6.45) and (35.59±7.24). Work pressure was negatively correlated with mental resilience (P<0.01) and positively correlated with anxiety and depression (P<0.01). New nurses worried about making mistakes in the work accounted for 89.42 percents (93/104), which was the highest score in the stress source. Conclusions New nurses have good mental resilience and psychological health level, but work pressure has certain impact on mental resilience and mental health. Hospital managers should take active measures which include reducing pressure and improving the ability to help the new nurses through the adaptation as soon as possible.

Objective To evaluate PBL teaching results in medical virology experiment course. Methods Medical students of class 2011 were randomized assigned into PBL group (n=45, 20 five-academic-year students and 25 seven-academic year students) and control group (n=63, 38 five-academic-year students and 25 seven-academic year students). Teaching effectiveness was evaluated by scores of experiment, medical virology examination and final examination. PBL group was surveyed with questionnaire. SPSS statistical software was used and t test was employed to do analysis. Results Scores in medical virology examination were higher in seven-academic-year students in PBL group than in control group and there was no difference in other two examination scores between the two groups. Survey showed that interest motivation, case analysis, experiment design and knowledge grasp-ing in PBL group were highly satisfied. However, evidence-based and generalization ability among seven-academic-year students as well as autonomous learning ability and ability to deduce material among five-academic-year students were not completed satisfied. Conclusions PBL with public health events in medical virology experiment course can develop students' intrinsic motivation, knowledge grasping and public health awareness. However, PBL methods should be adjusted to suit different academic students.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of IPSe. max press ceramic endocrowns being used in preserving endodontically treated molars. Methods Forty-five endodontically treated molars were selected from 45 patients in this study. All the molars had been endodontically treated and performed with ultrasonic scaling. After 1-2 weeks, the crowns and pulp chambers were prepared. The impressions and master casts were gained and IPSe. max press ceramic endocrowns were fabricated in the lab. The endocrowns were cemented with resin cement. The further consultations were offered to these molars after 6 months and 1 year. The difference of sulcus bleeding index among these endodontically treated molars and the same teeth in the opposite sides was compared. Results In these cases, 100 % of endocrowns were
