This article discussed the roles of surgery, brain radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy , and other new directions in the treatment of patients with brain metastases from NSCLC.

BACKGROUND: Most reported biomechanical studies on sacroiliac joint injury and fixation use cadavers or artificial bone models to simulate the sacroiliac joint injury.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the vertical stability of anterior plate fixation for sacroiliac joint dislocation using three-dimensional finite element method. METHODS: The anterior plate fixation model of unilateral sacroiliac joint dislocation was constructed on the basis of the three-dimensional finite element model of a complete pelvis. An axial load of 500 N was applied on the model; the cloud pictures of stress, strain and displacement were obtained after calculation and compared with that of the complete pelvis under the same conditions.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Stress concentration occurred at the internal fixation system; the maximum stress was found at the screws near the injured sacroiliac joint, far greater than the maximum stress of the complete pelvis under the same condition. The maximum strain was found in the healthy sacroiliac joint; the fixed sacroiliac joint had no strain. The maximum displacement was found in the injured sacroiliac joint; it was about twice longer than the complete pelvis. These findings indicate that the vertical stability of pelvis is poor using anterior plate internal fixation treatment for sacroiliac joint dislocation; and stress concentration occurs at the screws and plates.

Objective To analyze the protein expression changes of retina in diabetic mice using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) approach and to study proteins of apoptosis.Methods 8 diabetic mice were chosen as the diabetic model group (DM group),8diabetic mice as the normal control group.The animals were housed in wire-bottomed cages and received normal pellet chow and tap water in a constant environment.After 10 weeks,all mice were killed,and their retina were dissected.After hematoxylin and eosin(H&E) staining,the sections of retina were examined using light microscopy.The changes of protein expression in retina were studied using iTRAQ approach.Expression of apoptosis associated proteins was analyzed using ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA).Results Compared with control group,mice retina in DM group developed looser structures,tissue edema and obvious telangiectasia under light microscopy.Using iTRAQ approach,a total of 348 differential proteins were identified.Among those proteins,16 proteins were related with apoptosis,including Ataxin-10,Protein NDRG1,mucin-4,Aquaporin-1 and annexin A4,etc.There were 8 apoptosis-related proteins in retina with up-regulation,and the other 8 proteins with down-regulation in the DM group.The relationship between these proteins were analyzed and charted by IPA.Conclusions Apoptosis may be involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy.The identification of the apoptosis-related proteins will be helpful for the further study.

Objective To discuss the feasibility and long-term effect of free latissimus dorsi muscle flap in repair of severe lower extremity injury in children. Methods From July 1999 to June 2004, nine child patients (at age of 6-13 years) with severe lower extremity injury involving soft tissue defects a-round the calf and the foot associated with complex open fractures, bare dislocation, and injury of the nerve, tendon and artery were repaired with free latissimus donsi flap, with flap area ranging from 30 cm ×12 cm to 10 cm × 5 cm. Results All the latissimus dorsi flaps survived, with success rate of 100%. A follow-up for 4-9 years showed that the flap had sound shape and function and normal blood supply, without significant influence on donor area. Conclusion Latissimus dorsi flap has advantages of constant anatomical site, abundant blood supply, massive area, strong anti-infection ability and less in-fluence on donor area and hence is an ideal method for repairing severe lower extremity injury in children.

Observation group severe sequela incidence 11.32% was significantly lower than that of 39.62% of control group and statistically significant differences (P<0.05).Conclusion Xiyangping combined with vidarabine in treatment for children with infantile viral encephalitis can significantly increase the number of T cell subgroup, improve immune function in children with, and curative effect is remarkable and high security.

A simple and efficient method for the determination of organotin compounds ( OTCs) in biota by GC-MS coupling with sodium tetraethylborate ( NaBEt4 ) derivatization was established. The results showed that recoveries for each OTCs spiked in blank freeze-dryed biological samples ( 0 . 1 g ) following extraction (15 mL 0. 035 mol/L methanolic HCl solution for 1 h ) and derivatization (2 mL contained internal standard n-hexane and 0. 5 mL of 2% (m/V) NaBEt4 solution for 30 min) were above 80%. The method is fast and easy to operate for the determination of OTCs in complex biological samples. The minimum limit of detection was about 0. 01 μg/L, and relative standard deviation values were within 10% for three parallel samples.

Purpose To study clinicopathologic feature of prostate cancer by complete embedding of radical prostatectomy specimen. Methods 108 cases of radical prostatectomy by systematic whole organ embedding were reviewed. Results The patient age ranged from 55 to 80 years ( mean 68. 1 years) . The preoperative average PSA value was 18. 3μg/ml. 59 cases ( accounting for 54. 6% of all prostatectomy cases) were in pT2 stage, while 23. 7% (14/59) in pT2a stage, 8. 5% (5/59) in pT2b, and 67. 8% (40/59) in pT2c. 49 cases (45. 4%)in pT3 stage, while 59. 2% (29/49) in pT3a, 40. 8% (20/49) in pT3b. 3. 6%(3/84)cases presented pelvic lymph node metastasis. 8. 3% (9/108) cases were graded as Gleason Score 6 or less, 61. 1% Gleason Score 7, 30. 6%(33/108)Gleason Score 8 or more. Gleason Pattern 5 component was found in 26. 9% (29/108) cases. Positive margin was observed in 25. 9% (28/108) cases, with 75% (21/28) in pT3 stage and 53. 6% (15/28) having Gleason Pattern 5. Patient in pT2 stage pres-ented mean PSA value of 14. 00 μg/ml, involved in no more than 2 biopsy cores in 68. 5% cases, and more than 5 cores in 4. 3%, while in pT3 stage, presented mean PSA value of 23. 82μg/ml, involved in no more than 2 cores in 19. 6%, and more than 5 cores in 28. 3%. The difference of involved core number was significant in pT2 and pT3 tumors ( P<0. 01 ) . 81. 3% cases graded Gleason Score 6 in biopsy was assigned to Gleason Score 7 or more in prostatectomy. Conclusions Completely sampling radical prostatectomy specimen should be recommended for accurate staging and margin status. Preoperative PSA value, Gleason Score of biopsy, involved core number by cancer is a still helpful parameter for clinical staging and risk estimate.

Purpose To study the prevalence and feature of EGR gene rearrangement in prostatic carcinoma. Methods 242 consecu-tive core biopsies of prostatic carcinoma were evaluated. All biopsy specimens contained 6-14 cores from left and right sides separately delivered. The patient age ranged 58 to 91 years, and PSA value 5 ng/ml to more than 5 000 ng/ml. Immunohistochemistry ( IHC) for ERG protein overexpression and fluorescent in situ hybridization ( FISH) for ERG gene rearrangement were performed. Results 42 cases were detected positive for ERG by IHC ( positive rate 17. 4%) , and positive for ERG rearrangement by FISH either, with 19 ca-ses showing fusion through deletion and 23 through insertion, while no negative cases by IHC demonstrated positive by FISH. 5 cases revealed positive and negative staining in different carcinoma foci of ERG. No ERG positive staining and rearrangement were found in adjacent benign glands. Of positive cases, 12 cases were graded as Gleason score 6, 23 Gleason score 7, and 7 Gleason score 8 or more. Positive rate was 19. 6% in the group of PSA value less than 100 ng/ml, and 10% of more than 100 ng/ml, whereas 17. 2% in the group of clinical T3 stage or less, and 19% of clinical T4 and lymph node or remote metastasis. ERG rearrangement was associated with lower Gleason score, but not with PSA value, clinical stage and progression using theχ2 test analysis. Conclusions IHC is relia-ble for detection ERG rearrangement and helpful for interpretation of prostatic carcinoma. Multiple foci are common in prostatic carcino-ma. There is no significance between ERG rearrangement and disease prognosis.
