In recent years, the research hot in the field of solid tumor and blood tumor focuses on the myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs).In tumors, MDSCs not only exert immunosuppression by inhibiting T cell proliferation, destroying the functions of natural killer cells and recruiting regulatory T cells, but also play non-immunosuppression roles in the promotion of angiogenesis and tumor metastasis.All of these hinder the anti-tumor therapy, and particularly affect the curative effect, which are related with a poor clinical prognosis.MDSCs can be used as prognostic markers, which provide new targets for immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the operating approaches through cavity for large tumors in sellar area. Methods The one side orbit-below frontal approach was used for 13 cases with large tumor on axial line from inside suprasellar and the orbit pterional approach was selected for 11 cases with larger tumor in suprasellar area or outside the area. Results Total removal was achieved in 9 cases, subtotal in 9 cases and partial in 6 cases. 1 patient died after operation. The rest recovered well recoveered without serious complication. Conclusions The two approaches have the merits of simple technique, exposing well, gentle brain pulling and few complication, which are suitable for operation on the large tumor in sellar area.

Objective To investigate the predictable value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)in hemorrhagic transforma-tion (HT)of ischemic stroke.Methods 48 patients with ischemic stroke were involved.The presence and features of HT on CT, T1 WI,DWI and SWI were observed,as well as the distribution and signal features of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs),abnormal visi-bility of venules on SWI sequence.The correlation between those imaging findings and HT were analyzed.Results HT was detected in 19 of 48 patients (39.6%).The sensibility of T1 WI,DWI,SWI in detecting HT were 68.4%,36.8%,100%,respectively.HT was significantly associated with abnormal visibility of venules within the infarction region.The incidence of HT greatly increased with the aggravation of CMBs.Conclusion SWI can be a sensitive predictor for HT,and it’s helpful in making clinical strategy for ischemic stroke.

Objective To observe the ultrasonographic and pathological features of metaplastic carcinoma with squamous cell component (MCSC) of the breast.Methods The ultrasonographic and pathological features of 7 patients with breast MCSC confirmed pathologically were retrospectively analyzed.Results Seven cases were single lesion and the maximal diameters of the lesions were 2.6-5.1 cm.On two-dimensional imaging,6 lesions with cystic and solid were complex echogenic,only 1 lesion was hypoechoic.All the lesions had irregular shape (lobulated)and indistinct margin.On CDFI imaging,most of lesions had rich blood flow signals with high resistance (resistance index 0.75-0.91),4 lesions were grade l,2 lesions were grade Ⅱ and 1 lesion was grade Ⅰ blood flow signals.On gross histopathological examination,6 masses had cystic cavity,only 1 mass was pure solid.On microscopic histopathological examination,5 masses were adenosqua mous carcinoma,only 2 masses were pure squamous cell carcinoma.Estrogen receptors,progesterone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor were negative in 4 masses (triple-negative breast cancer).Conclusion MCSC have some distinguished ultrasonic characteristics of larger volume,cystic-solid mixed echo,posterior echo enhancement,abundant vascularity with high resistance.

Objective To evaluate neurofunctional and radiographic results of transpedicular screw fixation reduction and anterior column fixation with use of screw-red system in treatment of multiple segment lumbar pedicle and vertebral body fractures combined with spondylolisthesis. Methods A consecutive series of 12 patients with unstable multiple segment lumbar pedicle fracture, vertebral body fracture, spondylolisthesis and neurologic deficit were managed with posterior transpedicular screw fixation including fractured pedicle and anterior screw-rod fixation instrumentation from January 2002 to December 2007. Results Patients were followed up for 24-30 months (mean 26 months). All the patients with incomplete neurologic deficits got improvement by at least one Frankel grade. Transpedicular screw brought satisfactory reduction. At the time of the latest follow-up, no screw breakage occurred. Con-clusions Excellent reduction of unstable multiple segment lumbar pedicle fractures combined with spon-dylolisthesis can attain better reduction and maintenance by means of selective pedicle screw fixation via fractured pedicle and anterior screw-rod instrument.

[Absrtact] Objective To investigate the effect of anatomic quantitative target evaluation of class-room teaching on students' professional knowledge learning ability. Methods Twenty-five international students of 6-year program of grade 2013 were chosen as the experimental group, while twenty-seven Chinese students coming from the same class of grade 2013 and fifteen international students of 6-year program of grade 2012 were chosen as two control groups; quantitative and non-quantitative evaluation were imple-mented respectively by classroom questions and answers; teaching effects were evaluated by scales in the separation of teaching and examination, by records of answers for in-class questions and by questionnaire survey; SPSS 20.0 was used to make statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis test to com-pare the scores of three groups of students, P<0.05 indicates statistic significance. Results Compared with control groups, the accuracy of answers for class questions were improved greatly in the experimental group (2/3~3/4) vs. (1/2) and (2/3~3/4) vs. (1/2) and the average test scores (80.62±5.93) vs. (79.62±5.93) and (80.62 ±5.93) vs. (70.16 ±6.36) of the experimental group students were higher than control groups, the difference was statistically significant between the control group and the control group (P=0.045). Conclusions
Quantitative evaluation of teaching objectives in anatomy class can improve the learning attitude of foreign students and enhance their academic ability.
