OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effects of single posterior debridement, bone grafting, internal fixation and local chemotherapy in treating thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis.
METHODSFrom February 2009 to September 2012,11 patients with thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis were treated by single posterior debridement, bone grafting, internal fixation and local chemotherapy. There were 7 males and 4 females, aged from 27 to 65 years old with an average of 53.7 years. The courses of disease was from 3 months to 2 years with the mean of 9 months. According to ASIA standard of spinal cord injury, 3 cases were grade C and 8 cases D. After treatment, clinical effects were evaluated by ASIA grade, visual analogue score (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI); kyphosis Cobb angle change was observed by X-rays.
RESULTSEleven patients were followed up from 12 to 29 months with an average of 18 months. ASIA grade of spinal cord injury, 3 patients with grade C improved to grade D in 2 cases and grade E in 1 case 8 patients with grade D improved to grade E in 7 cases and unchanged in 1 case. VAS decreased from preoperative 6.10 ± 1.30 to 1.70 ± 0.80 at 3 d after operation (P < 0.05). ODI improved from preoperative (68.36 ± 10.41)% to (14.55 ± 8.99)% (P < 0.05) at 3 d after operation. Kyphotic Cobb angle was corrected from preoperative (22.64 ± 4.84)° to (4.27 ± 1.49)° (P < 0.05) on the 3rd day after operation, and angle loss was mild at final follow-up, there was no significant difference between postoperative at 3 d and final follow-up.
CONCLUSIONSingle posterior debridement, bone grafting, internal fixation and local chemotherapy for the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal tuberculosis can effectively remove the lesion, improve nerve function and correct deformity, has advantage of single incision, little trauma, and low recurrence rate. But it still need long-term and systemic treatment with anti-TB drugs.

OBJECTIVETo tentatively establish a diagnosis and treatment mode for effectively controlling the progress of cerebral microlesions (CM) and preventing the incidence of cerebral infarction (CI) by comparing different intervention modes for treating CM.
METHODSUsing a prospective, nonrandomized, controlled trial, 408 subjects with multiple CM were assigned to the Chinese medical pharmacy intervention group (Group A, 100 case), the aspirin intervention group (Group B, 104 cases), the negative control group (Group C, 100 cases), and the non-intervention group (Group D, 104 cases). No intervention was given to those in Group D. Patients in the other 3 groups were intervened by life style and routine therapies of vasculogenic risk factors. Those in Group A took Guizhi Fuling Pill (GFP) and earthworm powder additionally. Those in Group B took aspirin additionally. They were routinely followed-up. The CM, the changes of vasculogenic risk factors, and the incidence rate of CI were compared among the 4 groups.
RESULTSThe total effective rate of CM was 66.67% in Group A, obviously higher than that of Group B (52.32%), Group C (42.86%), and Group D (37.04%), respectively. It was obviously higher in Group B than in Group D, showing statistical difference (P <0.01, P <0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of LDL-C, TC, and TG were obviously lower in Group A than in Group B (P <0.05); the serum levels of LDL-C and TC were obviously lower in Group A than in Group C (P <0.01); the systolic pressure was obviously lower in Group A than in Group D (P <0.05). The systolic pressure and the serum TC level were obviously lower in Group C than in Group D (P <0.05). The incidence rate of CI was 2.17% (2/92 cases) in Group A, obviously lower than that of Group C (11.36% ,10/88 cases) and Group D (14.44%, 13/90 cases), showing statistical difference (P <0.05). But there was no statistical difference between Group A and Group B (6.74% ,6/89 cases) (P >0.05).
CONCLUSIONSGFP combined earthworm powder could treat CM, control vasculogenic risk factors, and finally prevent the incidence of CI. Standard Chinese medical intervention mode showed the optimal effects in treating CM and preventing the incidence of CI, and perhaps it could be spread clinically.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the geomorphological performance, the characteristics of volume, and the largest signal intension of blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD-fMRI) in brain tumors located in or closed to the central area.
METHODS:
We recruited 13 normal volunteers and 31(13 benign tumors and 18 malignant tumors) patients with brain tumor located in or closed to the central area, to examine both side hand motor and tactile function by BOLD-fMRI and obtained the activation map and its superposition image with T1 imaging, the volume, and the largest signal intension of the functional area by SPM software which manipulated the raw data in the off-line work station. The volume and the largest signal intension data of the functional area were statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0.
RESULTS:
The volume and the largest signal intension of the activation map in the normal functional area had hemisphere advantage. There was difference in the activated signal pixel number and the largest signal intension of the functional area between the benign brain tumors, malignant brain tumors, and the normal volunteers (P < 0.05). The shape, anatomic location, the volume, and the largest signal intension of the functional area were changed in the patients with brain tumors.
CONCLUSION
BOLD-fMRI is a valid method to assess the pre-surgical risk of patients with brain tumors, which can get the volume, the largest signal intension, the basic shape,and the anatomic location of the functional area.

OBJECTIVETo determine the autocrine effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on epidermal keratinocytes HaCaT cells.
METHODSCultured HaCaT cells were treated with various concentrations of VEGF(165) (0,1,5,10,25,50,100 ng/ml) or Avastin (0,0.063,0.125,0.25,0.50,1.0,2.0 mg/ml) in vitro. HaCaT cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay and the cell migration was measured by migration assay. The effect of VEGF(165) (10 ng/ml) on phosphorylation of ERK1/2 was detected in HaCaT cells pretreated or not pretreated with Avastin (0.5 mg/ml).
RESULTSVEGF enhanced the proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner, while Avastin inhibited the effects of VEGF also in a dose-dependent manner. VEGF(165) (10 ng/ml) induced the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells,but which was blocked by Avastin (0.5 mg/ml).
CONCLUSIONVEGF enhanced the proliferation and migration of HaCaT cells in a dose-dependent manner, while Avastin inhibited the effects of VEGF also in a dose-dependent manner. VEGF(165) (10 ng/ml) induced the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells,but which was blocked by Avastin (0.5 mg/ml).

BACKGROUNDWork in voiding (WIV) of the bladder may be used to evaluate bladder status throughout urination rather than at a single time point. Few studies, however, have assessed WIV owing to the complexity of its calculations. We have developed a method of calculating work capacity of the bladder while voiding and analyzed the associations of bladder work parameters with bladder contractile function and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO).
METHODSThe study retrospectively evaluated 160 men and 23 women, aged >40 years and with a detrusor pressure at maximal flow rate (PdetQmax) of ≥40 cmH2O in men, who underwent urodynamic testing. The bladder power integration method was used to calculate WIV; WIV per second (WIV/t) and WIV per liter of urine voided (WIV/v) were also calculated. In men, the relationships between these work capacity parameters and PdetQmax and Abrams-Griffiths (AG) number were determined using linear-by-linear association tests, and relationships between work capacity parameters and BOO grade were investigated using Spearman's association test.
RESULTSThe mean WIV was 1.15 ± 0.78 J and 1.30 ± 0.88 J, mean WIV/t was 22.95 ± 14.45 mW and 23.78 ± 17.02 mW, and mean WIV/v was 5.59 ± 2.32 J/L and 2.83 ± 1.87 J/L in men and women, respectively. In men, WIV/v showed significant positive associations with PdetQmax (r = 0.845, P = 0.000), AG number (r = 0.814, P = 0.000), and Schafer class (r = 0.726, P = 0.000). Conversely, WIV and WIV/t showed no associations with PdetQmax or AG number. In patients with BOO (Schafer class > II), WIV/v correlated positively with increasing BOO grade.
CONCLUSIONSWIV can be calculated from simple urodynamic parameters using the bladder power integration method. WIV/v may be a marker of BOO grade, and the bladder contractile function can be evaluated by WIV and WIV/t.

This study aims to investigate the function of two SNPs (rs8904C > T and rs696G >A) in 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of NFKBIA gene by constructing luciferase reporter gene. A patient's genomic DNA with rs8904 CC and rs696 GA genotype was used as the PCR template. Full-length 3'UTR of NFKBIA gene was amplified by different primers. After sequencing validation, these fragments were inserted to the luciferase reporter vector, pGL3-promoter to construct recombinant plasmids containing four kinds of haplotypes, pGL3-rs8904C/rs696G, pGL3-rs8904C/rs696A, pGL3-rs8904T/rs696G and pGL3-rs8904T/rs696A. Then these plasmids were transfected into LS174T cells and the luciferase activity was detected. Compared with pGL3-vector transfected cells (negative control), the luciferase activity of the four kinds of recombinant plasmids was significantly decreased (P < 0.001). For rs696G > A, the luciferase activity of the recombinant plasmids containing A allele (pGL3-rs8904C/rs696A and pGL3-rs8904T/rs696A) was about 45.1% (P < 0.05) and 56.1% (P < 0.001) lower than those containing G allele (pGL3-rs8904C/rs696G and pGL3-rs8904T/rs696G), respectively. For rs8904C > T, there were no significant differences in the luciferase activity between the recombinant plasmids containing T allele and those with C allele. Together, the luciferase reporter gene vectors containing SNPs in NFKBIA gene 3'UTR were constructed successfully and rs696G > A could decrease the luciferase activity while rs8904C >T didn't have much effect on the luciferase activity.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the long term outcomes, toxicities and prognostic factors of the patients in Northwest China with nasopharyngealcarcinoma (NPC)treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). MethodsFrom January 2006 to December 2009, 133 NPC Patients were treated by IMRT in Xijing Hospital, the Fourth Military Medical University. There were 22 treated by radiotherapy alone, 111 treated by platinum-based current chemo-radiothreapy. The prescription dose to the gross tumor volume was 66 - 76. 6 Gy/30 - 33 fractions, positive lymph nodes was 66. 0 - 72. 4 Gy/30 - 33 fractions.The higher and lower risk clinical target volume were irradiated with 56. 0 - 63. 5 Gy/28 - 33 fractions and 50. 4 -53. 2 Gy/28 fractions respectively. ResultsThe follow-up rate was 97. 7%. Follow-up time more than 2years,3years were 37cases ,44cases. The l-,2-and 3-year overall survival (OS) were 93. 8%, 88. 3%and 83.2% ; local control rate were 99. 2% ,95.4% and 95.4% ; regional control rate ( RC ) were 99. 2%,96. 8% and 96.8% ; and distant metastasis-free rate (DMFR) were 82. 8%, 79. 8% and 79. 8% ; the disease-free survival (DFS) were 84. 3% ,76. 7% and 76. 7%, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that N stage, age and anemia before radiotherapy were independent predietors for OS (x2 =5.56,9. 10,4.89,P=0. 018,0.003,0.027), and N stage was also independent predictors for DFS (x2 =8.98,P=0.003).Thegrade 3acutetoxicitiesweremueositis(34.7%),xerostomia(20. 1% ), skin reaction ( 1.4 % ) and leucocytopenia ( 1. 4 % ). No grade4 acute and late toxieities were detected. Conclusions IMRT with or without chemotherapy achieved good long term survival in nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated by intensity-modulated radiotherapy, especially in LC and RC. Distant metastasis becomes the main treatment failure.N stage, age, and anemia before radiotherapy were the main prognostic factors in nasopharyngeal cancer patients.
