Purpose:To determine the efficacy of paclitaxel in human bladder cancer lines and to investigate the mechanism by which paclita xel induce apoptosis in human bladder cancer cells. Methods:BIU-87, 5637, T24 and EJ bladder cancer cell lines wer e cultured by techniques of cell culture in vitro. The cytotoxic activity an d apoptosis induction abilities of paclitaxel were analyzed by MTT and Annexin- V assay as well as DNA cytometry , respectively. The effects on the cell cycle w ere assessed by flow cytometry of propidium iodide. The expressions of Bcl-2, B ax, p53 and Caspase3 proteins were determined by flow cytometry immunofluorescen ce. Results:Paclitaxel dose-dependent inhibition of cell prolifera tion was seen.Paclitaxel induced G_2/M arrest (71.29% and 64.57%) which was maximal in 5637 and EJ cell lines. While paclitaxel at 1?g/ml concentration ex posure to 5637 12h, 14h and 48h respectively, the apoptosis rates of the respect ive times were 5.0%, 12.9%, 27.6%. The expression of genes p53 and Bcl-2 was no t influenced, whereas the expression of Bax and Caspase3 had increases time-dep endently after exposure to paclitaxel. The analysis of Annexin-V showed a drama tic dose-dependent increase of apoptosis. Conclusions:Paclitaxel inhibited bladder cancer cells prolifera tion and had more effect on those cells whose grade was lower and doubling time was longer. Paclitaxel could block G_2/M arrest, and induce apoptosis by th e path of Bcl-2/Bax in bladder cancer cell lines.

OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects between patella replacement and patella osteotomy in total knee arthroplasty.

METHODSFrom April 2004 to April 2011, 52 patients (54 knees) were enrolled in the clinical trail of total knee arthroplasty, who received patella replacement (24 knees, including 13 males and 11 females,ranging in age from 53 to 78 years old or patella osteotomy (30 knees,including 16 males and 12 females,ranging in age from 55 to 79 years old. The average follow-up period was 56 months,ranging from 20 to 80 months. The American HSS Score for knee, the Feller score for patella, range of motion (ROM) for knee, patient satisfaction and complications related to the patella were used to evaluate therapeutic effects.

RESULTSIn the patella replacement group,the preoperative and final follow-up HSS scores of patients were 38.4 +/- 8.2 and 91.2 +/- 8.6 respectively; Feller scores were 13.6 +/- 6.2 and 25.2 +/- 4.2; scores of anterior knee pain were 3.9 +/- 3.2 and 11.2 +/- 3.7; ROM were (78 +/- 26) degrees and(108 +/- 18) degrees. In the patella osteotomy group,the preoperative and final follow-up HSS scores of patients were 39.5 +/- 8.4 and 91.0 +/- 8.5 respectively;Feller scores were 13.4 +/- 6.5 and 25.6 +/- 4.0; scores of anterior knee pain were 3.7 +/- 3.1 and 11.3 +/- 3.6; ROM were (76 +/- 27) degrees and (110 +/- 19) degrees. In the patella replacement group,patient's satisfaction was 91%, and complication related to the patella was 16.7%; in the patella osteotomy group, patient's satisfaction was 89%, and complications related to the patella was 10.0%. There were no statistically significant differeneces in final follow-up HSS scores, Feller scores, scores of anterior knee pain and ROM between the two groups. However,there was no significant difference of patient's satisfaction between them. There was statistically significant differenece of patella-related complications between the two groups, and the complication rate in the patella replacement group was higher than that in the patella osteotomy group.

CONCLUSIONTotal knee arthroplasty with patella replacement or patella osteotomy dramatically relieves pain and improves the knee function. Patella-related complications are associated with its treatment methods, but post-operative anterior knee pain and patient's satisfaction are not related to treatment methods of the patella.

HPV16 infection rate was up to 60.00%,followed by HPV18(7.69%),HPV58(7.69%),and HPV31(4.62%). Conclusion HPV16 is still the most common type in Chongqing. HPV18,HPV58 and HPV31 also has a high prevalence.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of surgical treatment for internal carotid artery atheromatous pseudo-occlusion (APO).Methods Clinical data of patients with carotid artery stenosis treated by carotid endarterectomy from Dec.,2011 to Jun.,2016 in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were analyzed retrospectively.Carotid endarterectomy were performed in 32 patients with pseudo-occlusion of the internal carotid artery (APO group).And 124 patients with traditional severe stenosis (70％-99％) served as control group.Perioperative major and minor complications,recurrence rate of ipsilateral ischemic stroke,restenosisrate and mortality in follow-up were compared between the two groups.Results Perioperative major complications:one patient (3.1 ％) developed myocardial infarction in the APO group,no ischemic stroke,cerebral hemorrhage and death cases;2 (1.4％) ischemic stroke cases,6 (4.2％) myocardial infarction cases and 1 (0.7％)death case was found in control group.Perioperative minor complications:1 (3.1％) incision bleeding case,2 (6.3％) pulmonary infection cases,2 (6.3％) cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome cases were found in APO group;3 (2.1％) incision bleeding cases,2 (1.4％) incision infection cases,4 (2.8％)pulmonary infection cases,2 (1.4％) cranial nerve injury cases,2 (1.4％) cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome cases were found in control group.Patients were followed up for 6-60 months,with mean follow-up period of (35.3 ± 17.5) months.During follow-up,1 (3.1％) ipsilateral ischemic stroke recurrence case,4 (12.5％) restenosis cases,and 3 (9.4％) death cases were found in the APO group.And 8 (5.6％) ipsilateral ischemic stroke recurrence cases,9 (6.3％) restenosis cases,8 (5.6％)death cases were found in control group.There were no significant differences in perioperative major and minor complications,recurrence rate of ipsilateral ischemic stroke,restenosis rate and mortality between the two groups.Conclusions Surgical treatment for atheromatous pseudo-occlusion of the internal carotid artery is safe and effective.Perioperative and follow-up results are satisfactory.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical characteristics and the prognosis of solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP).

METHODSFrom June 1997 to June 2002, ten SBP patients were treated in our department. Two lesions were in sacrum, two in pelvis, the other six lesions were in proximal femur, femoral diaphyseal, scapula, thoracic vertebra, proximal humus, and rib respectively. The preoperative laboratory tests were normal. Operation was performed on all patients. The pathologic diagnose was plasmacytoma and then they underwent further laboratory examination, urine Bence-Jone protein is positive in 3 patients, serous IgG value was higher than normal in 2 patients, abnormal M protein was found in electrophoresis in 2 patients. All patients received radiotherapy postoperatively.

RESULTSFour patients were excluded, whose follow-up were lessen than ten months, the other six patients's average follow-up is 28.2 months (from 18 to 48 months), one patient who developed multiple myeloma (MM) six months postoperatively received chemotherapy using M2 protocol and died 21 months after operation. The other five patients had disease-free survive and remain solitary bone lesion after the treatment of surgery and radiology.

CONCLUSIONCompared with MM, SBP patients are younger, the therapeutic results and prognosis are better. The main prognostic factors include age, the size of lesion, the axial bone lesion, persistence of myeloma protein after radiotherapy, early diagnosis and treatment, and so on.

Objective To explore the clinical value and typing characteristic of prenatal ultrasonography for fetal cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung(CAML).Methods Ultrasonographic features and typing of fetal CAML in 41 cases detected by prenatal ultrasonography were analyzed retrospectively.All cases were followed up until to the induction of labor or birth.Results (1)Site of tumor: in the 41 cases,there were 22 cases on the left side,15 on the right side and 4 on bilateral.(2)Typing diagnosis of prenatal ultrasonography: three cases were CAML type Ⅰ,14 were type Ⅱ,and 24 cases were type Ⅲ.(3)Pathology diagnosis: thirty two cases were induced abortion.CAML was confirmed in 29 cases by autopsy and the classifications were consistent with the prenatal diagnosis of ultrasonography.Three pulmonary sequestration cases were prenatally misdiagnosed as CAML type Ⅲ by ultrasonography.(4)The other nine cases were followed up to birth.Three masses decreased gradually and then disappeared.Six newborns were confirmed as CAML by CT.Their typings were consistent with the postnatal diagnosis.(5)The diagnostic accuracy rate of prenatal ultrasonography for CAML was 92.7%(38/41).Its misdiagnostic rate was 7.3%(3/41).Conclusions Prenatal ultrasonography has a high accuracy rate for the diagnosis and classification of CAML and is the first choice to detect CAML early in pregnancy.It has an important clinical value.Pulmonary sequestration should be distinguished from CAML type Ⅲ because they tend to be confused.

Background Ginkgolide B (GB) has been proved to have neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic effects and can effectively inhibit apoptosis of retinal photoreceptor cells.But the high hydrophobic feature and low bioavailability of GB limit its clinical application.Self microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) can effectively improve the infusibility drug dissolution and bioavailability in the retina.Objective This study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics and drug-time change of GB-loaded SMEDDS in retina.Methods Eighty SD rats were randomized into 2 groups,2.5％ GB(40 mg/kg) of SMEDDS or GB suspension(0.1％ DMSO dissolve) were gastrically given respectively in two groups.The rats were sacrificed and retinas were isolated 15,30,45 minutes and 1 hour,2,4,8,12 hours to prepare the retinal suspension.The content of GB in retina was assayed with high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-(1) (1)ss spectrum (HPLC-ESI-MS) and contrasted with standard curve.Practical drug dynamics program 3p87 was used to detect the pharmacokinetics parameters.The maximal content(Cmax,mg/g),time to peak (Tmax,h),clearance ratio (Ke/h),high-life period (t1/2) and area under the concentration-time curve(AUC0-∞,mg/(g · h)) of GB in various time points in retina after a single oral dose were calculated and compared between two groups.Results The standard curve was obtained over the concentration range of 1-32 mg/L with a linear regression equation,Y =0.0732X + 0.056 (r =0.992).A similar content-time curve was seen between GB suspension group and GB-SMEDDS group.The GB content was higher in GB-SMEDDS group than that in GB suspension group from 30 minutes through 12 hours after administration of drugs.The Cmax of GB-SMEDDS group and GB suspension group were(15.83±1.84) mg/g and(2.65±0.10) mg/g,the AUC0-∞ were(15.30±0.11)mg/(g· h)and(6.42±0.19)mg/(g · h).Conclusions HPLC-ESI-MS is proved to be a rapid,accurate,sensitive and suitable method for pharmocokinetic study of GB.SMEDDS can raise the concent of GB in retina,and it probably improve the bioavailability of GB.
