Objective To study the impact of pregnancy on differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods Retrospective comparative analysis were made between pregnancy-related thyroid cancer patients ( including nine months before delivery and one year after delivery) and the age-matched non-pregnancy-related thyroid cancer patients treated in the Department of head and neck, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Results There were 125 cases of pregnancy-related thyroid cancer patients from 1998 to 2008, including 28 cases (22.4%) of neck recurrence and metastasis after the surgery of thyroid cancer, meanwhile there were 691 cases of the agematched non-pregnancy thyroid cancer patients, including 90 cases ( 13% ) of neck recurrence and metastasis after the surgery of thyroid cancer. The rate of neck recurrence and metastasis after the surgery of thyroid cancer in the pregnancy-related group was higher than that in the non-pregnancy related group ( P ＜ 0.05). The maximum diameter of tumor in the pregnancy-related group and the non-pregnancy group is 2. 1 cm and 2.6cm respectively.There were 19 cases of multi-focal cancer ( 19.6% ) in the pregnancy-related group and 58 cases (9. 6% ) in the non-pregnant group, P ＜0.05. There were 23 patients (23.7%) of extrathyroid invasion in the pregnancy-related group and 65 patients ( 10.8% ) in the non-pregnant group, P ＜0.05. There were 67 cases (53.6%) and 35 cases (28%) of the central and lateral cervical lymph node metastasis in the pregnancy-related group respectively and 296 cases (42.8%) and 117 cases (16. 9% )in the non-pregnant group, P ＜0.05. There were 19 cases (15.2%) of extralymph invasion in the pregnancy-related group and 32 cases (4.6%) in the non-pregnant group, P ＜ 0.05. Conclusions The incidence of Extrathyroid invasion, multi-focal cancer, cervieal lymph node metastasis and extralymph invasion of the differentiated thyroid cancer is higher in pregnancy-related patients.Pregnancy may deteriorate the prognosis of thyroid cancer. For patients after the surgery of thyroid cancer, pregnancy may increase the risk of neck recurrence and metastasis. However, pregnancy does not affect the stage of thyroid cancer and the prognosis is still good.

Objective To sum up the experience of renal transplantation in order to improve transplant effect and enhance the long-term survival and recovery rate.Methods The data of renal transplantation of 1 124 cases who received renal transplantation from Jul. 1978 to Oct. 2001 were summarized. All the possible factors that could influence the transplant effect such as pre-operative preparation, HLA match, donors' quality, surgical procedure, immunosuppressive therapy and so on were analyzed. Results The 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate (%) of patient/kidney was 83.1/ 70.3, 74.6/ 68.6 and 62.6/ 56.1 respectively. The rate of AR was decreased significantly from 3.09?% only with LXM to 0.89?% with LXM test in combination with HLA serological test. The rate of HAR and AR in 130 cases with additional PRA test were lower than those only with LXM test.Conclusions The well pre-operative preparation, the ideal HLA match, the high quality of donor's kidney and transplant operation were keys for successful renal transplantation. Reduction of the complications, individual and combined medication in reason and long-term follow-up were very important in the long-term survival time.

Objective To investigate the activity changes of gelatinase in the formation of ascending aortic aneurysm.Methods Thirty five young Wistar rats were divided into two groups:the control group and the experiment group.The rat models induced by ascending aorta banding were made.The ascending aortas were taken after 3-5 months operation,changes of gelatinase activity was observed by gelatin zymography and film in situ zymography.Results Gelatinase activity of ascending aortic aneurysm was significantly increased compared with that of normal ascending aortic aorta.Conclusion Elevation of gelatinase activity may play a significant role in the formation of ascending aortic aneurysm.

Muscle recently has been identified as a good source of adult stem cells that can differentiate into cells of different lineages.Researchers have identified two types of stem cells in skeletal muscle.Further research is necessary to delineate the relationship between different populations of musclederived stem cells(MDSCs)and between MDSCs and other adult stem cells.The methods used to isolate these cells appear to influence the stem cell characteristics.As these efforts continue,the potential for MDSCsbased therapy for other musculoskeletal injuries,as well as for cardiac and smooth muscle injuries,is currently being explored.The behavior,biocharacteristic,isolation,differentiation and the probability of application to regenerate lost or diseased tissue of MDSCs were summarized.

The expressions of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor (c-Met) protein were examined by immunohistochemistry in benign and malignant thyroid neoplasms.The results showed that the positive rates of HGF and c-Met protein expressions in thyroid carcinomas were significantly higher than those of thyroid adenomas,and especially the expressions of HGF and c-Met proteins in follicular thyroid carcinomas were significantly higher than those in follicular thyroid adenomas.There existed significantly positive correlation between the expression degrees of HGF and c-Met in follicular thyroid carcinoma.Thus,the expressions of HGF and c-Met may be valuable in predicting prognosis of thyroid carcinomas and differentiating benign from malignant thyroid neoplasms.

Objective To investigate the current status of health education among nursing undergraduates,to analyze the existing problems and to bring up corresponding strategies for improving the health education ability for nursing undergraduates.Methods Totally 381 nursing undergraduates were recruited and investigated with a self-designed questionnaire.Aspects of students' cognition of health education,influencing factors of health education and the implementation of health education in clinic were investigated.Data were processed using SPSS 12.0 and percentages were calculated.Resuits 98.75％ students understood the importance of heath education in nursing work.However,systemic training courses of health education for nursing undergraduates were insufficient in both colleges and hospitals.Meanwhile,clinical teachers' ability of health education was limited.Only 15.59％students provided health education for patients independently.Conclusions Nursing colleges and practicing hospitals should strengthen health education consciousness of nursing undergraduates,enhance faculty construction and should set up related courses to train the health education skills.

Objective: To discuss the methods and items for clinical linear accelerator (Clinac) and 3D treatment planning system (TPS)/intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT) system based on 2D ionization chambers array(2D-ICA). Methods: The 2D-I-CA laid on the anthropomorphic phantom with five centimeters and which was put on another five centimeters same phantom.All data have gained as following conditions: the SAD is 100 cm and the SSD is 90 cm; the fields' size are 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm,15 cm ,20 cm respectively and 2 cm×10 cm ,5 cm×20 cm ,20 cm×5 cm, MU=100 cGy;the Clinae and TPS were verified by some special items for checking their dose accuracy, such as, square fields, rectangular fields, and rectangular fields with 600 wedge or 300 wedge, which were measured for verification their flatness and symmetry. And some measured items were only for checking multileaf collimator (MLC) and TPS calculated accuracy. So, we developed moveable MLC fields and IMRT plans and compound fields to evaluate leafs side effects and leafs end effects and transmission effects. Results: The flatness value of square and rectangular fields was 100.07%～102.66%,and their symmetry value was 0.10%～1.49%; and these irradiate fields' size were compared with light fields' sizes, which the X direction deviation was-1.5%～0.7% ,the Y direction deviation was-1.4%～1.0%,and their average value was-0.47%.To verify calculated data for TPS ,we developed Gamma value and ab-solute value (<4%)to evaluate their accuracy. For square and rect-angular fields, The Gamma value was 92.02%～96.35%.In com-pound fields Which were composed with two half fields (X1 = 5 cm, X2 =0 cm, Y= 10 cm and X1 = 0 cm,X2 = 5 cm, Y=10 cm),the maximum deviation was about 5%.And five fields (2 cm×10 cm) composed one fields (10 cm×10 cm),the maximum deviation was about 10% in the joint place. The Gamma value of one fields was 96.6%, another was 93.2% in the moveable fields. Conclusions: To dollop 2D ionization chambers array to verify the dose for Clinac and TPS, it was so quick and simple, and it was important that it bring more accurate dose evaluation and more clinical quality assurance and quality control methods.
