Objective To evaluate four tumor markers of insulin-like growth factor 1((IGF-1), CEA, cytokeratin fragment antigen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), neuron-specific enolase (NSE) for the diagnosis and prediction of treatment response in human lung cancer. Methods Serum samples were taken from three groups: 91 patients with lung cancer, 30 healthy adults and 15 patients with benign pulmonary diseases. Serum IGF-1 was assayed by radioimmunoassay and CEA, CYFRA21-1, and NSE by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. The differences among the three groups were determined by Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and with Mann-Whitney rank-sum test. Diagnostic efficacy was evaluated by ROC curves. Results The four serum tumor marker levels were significantly higher in lung cancer group, as compared with the benign and the healthy (IGF-1:χ2=26.95,P<0.001, CEA:χ2=49.11,P<0.001; CYFRA21-1:χ2=40.63,P<0.001; NSE:χ2=14.76;P<0.001). The diagnostic sensitivities of IGF-1, CEA, CYFRA21-1 and NSE was 75.6% (34/45), 53.3% (24/45), 66.7% (30/45) and 42.2% (19/45) respectively for lung cancer. The diagnostic sensitivity of IGF-1 combined with CYFRA21-1 was 95.5 %( 43/45) and that of IGF-1 combined with CEA and CYFRA21-1was 97.8%(44/45). Only IGF-1 and CYFRA21-1 showed significant changes before and after treatment (IGF-1: χ2=5.99,P=0.014; CYFRA21-1:χ2=4.99, P=0.025) in cancer group. Conclusions Serum IGF-1, CEA, CYFRA21-1 and NSE are all valuable for lung cancer diagnosis and the combination of those parameters can enhance the diagnostic efficiency. Serum IGF-1 and CYFRA21-1 may also be useful for evaluating the treatment response in lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the anatomic landmarks during the exposure of thalamus via the transcorpus callosal ventricle approach between microscope and endoscope to provide an anatomic foundation for clinical application. Methods The transcorpus callosal ventricle approach to expose the thalamus was simulated in selected 6 (12 sides) red and blue latex-perfused cadaver head specimens. The anatomic structures of four stages-interhemispheric, septum pellu?cidum cavity, lateral ventricle and third ventricle were examined by microscope and endoscope and relevant anatomic date was obtained during the process. Results Both microscope and endoscope could show the anatomic structures clear?ly during the interhemispheric and septum pellucidum cavity stages. The major landmarks of the interhemispheric cavity included callosal margin artery, cingulate sulcus, pericallosal artery and corpus callosum, and landmarks of septum pellu?cidum cavity included the septum pellucidum and body of fornix. Lateral ventricle stage-the major landmarks contained foramen of monro, septum vein, thalamus striatum vein, choroid plexus, body of fornix and body of caudate nucleus. The blind field under microscope such as anterior part of frontal horn (25.7mm±1.7mm vs. 14.2mm±1.2mm, P<0.05), lateral part (1/3) (12.1mm ± 0.7mm vs. 7.0mm ± 0.9mm, P<0.05) and posterior part (2/5) (28.8mm ± 1.4mm vs. 18.7mm ± 1.4mm, P<0.05) of thalamus could be made up by endoscope. Third ventricle stage-neither microscope nor endoscope could show the medial part of thalamus effectively due to the restriction of fornix and internal cerebral vein. Conclusions The anatomic landmarks can be identified during the exposure of thalamus via the transcorpus callosal ventricle approach. The coordination of microscope and endoscope can be helpful to identify eloquent structures and make up blind surgical field.

Objective To explore effect of immune function of children with EB virus infectious mononu-cleosis (IM). Methods From Sep. 2011 to Jun. 2013, a total of 62 cases of children with IM were analyzed retrospectively. The proportion of T-lymphocyte subsets ,B-lymphocytesand and NK cells in EBV-DNA group with positive and negative were compared. Results The numbers of IM EBV-DNA-negative cases were 18 (29.03%), the numbers of IM EBV-DNA-positive cases were 44(70.97%), the averages of EBV-DNA in positive group is 6.1 × 103/mL. CD3+,CD8+cell ratios in IM children are significantly higher than control group (P<0.01), CD4+, CD19+cell ratios are significantly lower than control group (P<0.01), NK cells are not significantly different (P>0.05). In the IM children, CD4+, CD19+cells in DNA-positive group are significantly less than DNA-negative group (P<0.01), CD8+cells are higher than DNA-negative group (P<0.05), NK cells are not significantly different (P>0.05). Conclusions Positive blood EBV-DNA is closely related to changes in T-lymphocyte and B-lymphocyte, but isn′t obviously related in NK cells. So effect of EB virus in IM child have certain clinical values to judge the severity and prognosis.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has two important functional roles, including biomechanics and proprioceptive sense. A groat propr!oceptive sense is a basis to exactly obtain highly functional exercise. ACL injury may block perception and conduction information and seriously influence motion and daily activities. A complete rehabilitation of ACL function depends on rehabilitation of both mechanical structure and proprioceptive sense. Therefore, reconstruction of joint function following ACL injury is focus on reconstruction of both joint biomechanical stability and proprioceptive sense. This study was designed by distribution and function of proprioceptive sense to analyze the altemation of propdoceptive sense following ACE injury, and to investigate the related factors and ways for rehabilitation of propriocaptive sense following ACL reconstruction.
