Objective:To analyze the clinical effect of different surgical methods on giant-cell tumor of bone (GCTB). Methods:Between January 2007 and June 2012, 37 patients receiving treatment for GCTB were enrolled in this study. These patients included 20 males and 17 females whose ages ranged from 20 to 56 (average=31.6). The prosthesis replacement and nonprosthetic replacement op-eration on the postoperative recurrence, limb function, comprehensive evaluation of the curative effect, as well as morbidity and recur-rence rate among different nations and in the upper and lower limbs of GCTB patients were analyzed. Results:The predilection age of the cases ranged from 20 to 50 years old. The incidence was higher in the Uighur population of Xinjiang, China. However, the recur-rence rate in ethnic difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:The predilection age of GCTB cases was 20~50 years old, with higher morbidity in Uighur than in Han and other ethnic groups. The morbidity and recurrence rate were higher in the lower limbs than in the upper limbs of patients. The scraping bone graft and bone cement filling, the internal fixation of the scraping bone graft, and the artificial joint replacement of tumor resection were all reliable modes of treatment.

Background: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NEN) is a rare heterogeneous tumor. Liver metastasis seriously affects the prognosis of GEP-NEN. However, few tools are existed to predict GEP-NEN complicated with synchronous liver metastasis. Aims: To analyze the risk factors of synchronous liver metastasis in patients with GEP-NEN and establish a nomogram to predict synchronous liver metastasis in patients with GEP-NEN. Methods: A total of 10 973 pathologically confirmed patients with GEP-NEN from Jan. 2010 to Dec. 2017 were collected from SEER database and divided randomly into training set (n=7 511) and test set (n=3 462). Both groups were divided into liver metastasis group and non-liver metastasis group according to the occurrence of liver metastasis. Multifactorical logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors of liver metastasis in patients with GEP-NEN. R software was used to establish and verify the nomogram of liver metastasis in GEP-NEN patients. Results: Liver metastasis was associated with gender, age, race, primary tumor site, degree of differentiation, tumor diameter, T3/4 stage, and lymph node metastasis in patients with GEP-NEN. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that primary tumor site (small intestine and pancreas), differentiation degree (poorly differentiated and undifferentiated), diameter of tumor ≥ 5 cm, T3/4 stage and lymph node metastasis were independent risk factors affecting liver metastasis in patients with GEP-NEN (P< 0.001). The concordance index of internal validation for nomogram was 0.838 (95% CI: 0.826-0.849), and the concordance index of external validation was 0.847 (95% CI: 0.829-0.864). Conclusions: GEP-NEN patients with primary tumor site in small intestine or pancreas, poor differentiation and undifferentiation, diameter of tumor ≥5 cm, T3/4 stage and lymph node metastasis are more likely to develop liver metastasis which suggested that such patients need to be alert for the occurrence of liver metastasis and need more aggressive treatment. The calibration curves fits are good for both the training and test sets, and can help clinicians to make individualized prediction for whether the GEP-NEN patient has synchronous liver metastasis at the initial diagnosis.

Desensitization therapy for iodinated contrast media (ICM) aims to induce drug tolerance in patients with a history of severe allergic reactions to ICM in a short time. Currently, there is no widely accepted consensus on inducing desensitization to avoid severe allergic responses to ICM. The clinically successful cases have shown that prophylactic use of antihistamines and glucocorticoids can increase the desensitization effect; repeatedly desensitizing and gradually increasing the dose can be conducive to establishing better tolerance to ICM. Most desensitization effects, including stress resistance, can endure 24-48 h. The mechanisms of desensitization therapy remain unclear, the initial dose, administration interval and dose gradient are largely based on clinical experiences and the reaction of patients. This article reviews the current research progress on ICM-related allergies, desensitization methods and related mechanisms, as well as the benefits and hazards of desensitization, to provide a reference for desensitization treatment of hypersensitivity to ICM .

Promoter, an essential regulatory element, is widely used for metabolic engineering of industrial strains. Corynebacterium glutamicum is an important industrial workhorse to produce various amino acids. However, strong constitutive promoters that are applicable to C. glutamicum are rarely reported. In this study, we first performed a time-series transcriptome analysis of a glutamate hyper-producing strain C. glutamicum SL4 by using RNA-Seq. Overall, we picked 10 samples at different time during the fermentation process. By analyzing the time-series transcriptome data, we selected 10 candidate genes with the highest transcriptional level. These genes were all transcribed stably during the fermentation process. We subsequently cloned the promoter sequences and evaluated the promoters' strength in strain SL4 using a red fluorescent protein reporter system. To evaluate the universality of the promoters in different C. glutamicum strains, we further tested the performance of some promoters in wild type C. glutamicum strains, including ATCC 13869 and ATCC 13032. The strongest promoter was further characterized using LacZ as a reporter in all the three C. glutamicum strains. Finally, we successfully obtained three constitutive promoters with universality, PcysK, PgapA and PfumC. PcysK is the most efficient promoter among the three C. glutamicum strains. In strains SL4 and ATCC 13869, the strength of PcysK is 2-fold of the strong inducible promoter Ptac using the red fluorescent protein as a reporter and 4-fold of Ptac using LacZ as a reporter. Moreover, the strength of PcysK reaches 30%-40% of Ptac in strain ATCC 13032. The promoter PcysK is identified as a strong promoter for the first time, which can be used as an efficient biobrick for metabolic engineering of synthesis pathways in C. glutamicum.
