[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To investigate the role of TNF-αand NF-κB in the mechanism of neuropathic pain due to chronically compressed dorsal root ganglion ( CCD) .METHODS:Based on the CCD model, von Frey filaments were used to quantify behavior test.The expression changes of TNF-αand NF-κB were determined by Western blotting, and the cor-relation between the expression of TNF-αand the 50%paw withdrawal threshold was also analyzed.Moreover, the location of TNF-αin dorsal root ganglion ( DRG) was observed with immunofluorescence double staining.RESULTS: We found 50%paw withdrawal threshold of CCD decreased at the first day after operation.The mechanical allodynia was the most ob-vious at postoperative 7~14 d and lasted longer than 35 d.The expression of TNF-αand NF-κB increased significantly in DRG after operation (P<0.01), especially at 7~14 d, and then restored gradually.Moreover, there was a correlation between the protein expression of TNF-αand the changes of neuropathic behavior ( P<0.05 ) .CONCLUSION: TNF-αand NF-κB are involved in the mechanism of mechanical allodynia after chronically compressed DRG.

Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and therapy of solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas (SPTP).Methods From January 2006 to October 2011,the clinicopathological data of 24 SPTP patients diagnosed and surgically treated at Tianjin Medical University Cancer Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 22 women and 2 men,the median age was 27.5 years old,with a range from 12 to 51 years.The most common tumor localization were at the head of the pancreas ( 11 patients,45.7％ ),followed by the body (5 patients,20.8％ ),the tail (4 patients,16.7％ ),the body and the tail (3 patients,12.5％ ) and the neck (one patient,4.2％ ).Clinical symptoms were nonspecific and the preoperative diagnosis of SPTP depended on imaging study such as ultrasonography,CT and MR.All patients were treated surgically and the correct diagnosis was made according to pathology after surgery.In a follow-up ranging from 2 to 55 months( median 27.2 months),23 cases were alive with no evidence of disease recurrence,one patient was alive with tumor recurrence.Conclusions SPTP was a less common neoplasm with low-grade malignancy,occurring mainly in young women.Complete tumor resection results in satisfactory prognosis.

Objective: To assay the content and stability of vitamin C(VC) in serum by a simple, specific method. Methods: Serum samples were extracted by metaphosphoric acid, and analyzed on a column C 18 of HPLC with DAD detector at 234 nm. Mobile phase was 100 mmol/L KH 2PO 4, pH3.00. The flow rate was 1 ml/min. Results: Under this condition, the retention time of VC was 5.76 min. The within run and between run reproducibilities tests were 0.42% and 2.11% respectively, and the recovery rate ranged from 82% to 88.5%. Stored at -70 ℃ and compared to that of its metaphosphoric acid extract, serum VC content was stable only for two days, and then decreased rapidly, whereas it did not decrease in metaphosphoric acid extract until the fifth day. Conclusion: A simple, sensitive and reliable method of HPLC with DAD detector is established for measuring VC in either serum or fruit, such as orange juice. VC should be determined immediately or should be extracted with metaphosphoric acid as soon as possible, then the extracts are kept at -70 ℃, and analysed within 5 d.

Objective To explore the occurance and risk factors of recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer after gastrectomy.Methods From January 2001 to December 2004, the clinic pathological data of 141 patients with recurrence and metastasis after radical gastrectomy in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.The possible clinic pathological factors which may affect tumor recurrence were analyzed.Results After the surgery, the 1, 2, 3 and 5-year cumulative recurrence rates were 58.2%(82/141) 、80.1%(113/141)、89.4%(126/141) 、97.9 % (138/141)respectively.The results of multivariate analysis indicated that the tumor size,invasive depth, lymph node metastasis were independent factors which affected recurrence and metastasis after radical gastrectomy (P = 0.017, 0.003, 0.000).Invasive depth, lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation degree were independent factors which affected early recurrence and metastasis after radical gastrectomy (P=0.042, 0.000, 0.039).Conclusions The tumor size,invasive depth, lymph node metastasis are the independent risk factors to predict the recurrence and metastasis after radical gastrectomy.Most of the recurrences and metastasis is found within 2 years after radical gastrectomy.Invasive depth, lymph node metastasis and tumor differentiation degree are the independent factors to predict early recurrence after radical gastrectomy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the impacts on the cognitive level of the children with mental retardation (MR) treated with JIN's three scalp needling therapy and the training for cognitive and perceptual disturbance so as to seek the more effective therapeutic method for the treatment of MR in children. Methods Sixty-six MR children were randomized into a head-point needle-retaining therapy + training group (group A) and a training after acupuncture group (group B). Seven cases and 12 cases were dropped in the two groups respectively. Twenty-six cases accomplished the treatment in the group A and 21 cases in the group B. In the group A, the points on the head were stimulated and the needles were retained (30 min after the general acupuncture, the needles on the body points were removed; and those on the head points were retained for 1 h, including Sishenzhen, Naosanzhen, Zhisanzhen and Niesanzhen). Simultaneously, the training for the cognitive perceptual disturbance was combined. In the group B, 1 h after needle retaining at the body points and head points, all the needles were removed; the training for the cognitive perceptual disturbance was followed. The treatment was given once a day, and the treatment for 3 months was required. Before and after treatment, the Wechsler intelligence scale for children (WISC) was used for evaluation and observation of verbal intelligence quotient (VIQ) , performance intelligence quotient (PIQ) and full-scale intelligence quotient (TFIQ) and score changes of 11 items such as information, picture vocabu; lary, arithmetic, picture generalization, comprehension, etc.

RESULTSAfter treatment, FIQ, VIQ and PIQ scores were different significantly as compared with those before treatment (all P<0. 01). In the group A, the results of picture vocabulary, animal egg laying, maze, block design and geometric figure were all improved significantly (all P<0. 05). In the group B, the results of information, comprehension, block design and geometric figure were all improved significantly (all P<0. 05). After treatment, concerning the value difference in FIQ and PIQ of the two groups; the changes in the group A were more significant (both P<0. 01). After treatment, the results of picture vocabulary and maze were improved significantly in the group A as compared with the group B (both P<. 01). The IQ categories changed apparently after treatment in the two groups, toward the higher level in tendency generally, but without significant difference (both P>0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe simultaneous treatment with head point retaining of JIN's three needling therapy and the training for cognitive and perceptual disturbance obviously improves children patients' verbal comprehension, expression ability, hand-eye coordination ability, attention, logical reasoning ability and visual perception. The efficacy is better than that in the treatment of the training after acupuncture.

Objective To analyze the dosimetfic benefits, clinical effect and side-respond of whole breast using intensity modulated radiotherapy for early breast cancer after conservative surgery. Methods From Oct.2004 to Aug. 2005,103 patients received the whole breast intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). A dosimetric comparison of IMRT with conventional radiotherapy (CR) was performed on each patient. The cosmetic results, clinical effect and side-respond were observed. Results The average volume proportion of 95% and 107% prescribed dose was 95.8% ± 4.90% and 84.0% ± 20.7% (t = 9.60, P < 0.01) with IMRT and CR in clinical target volume, respectively. The V20 (lung volume of aceepted> 20 Gy/all lung volume × 100%) of the ipsilateral lung were 15.70% ± 4.64% and 23. 11% ± 7.88% (t = - 13.3, P < 0.01). The V30of the heart were 4.44% ±3.93% and 15.55% ± 10.89%(t = - 11.3, P< 0.01) with IMRT and CR respectively for sixty-three left side breast cancer patients. The 1- and 2-year excellent rate of good cosmetic outcome was both 100%. The 1-, 2- and 3-year local control rate was 99% ,99% and 98% ,respectively. The 1-, 2- and 3-year disease-free survival rate was 99% ,99% and 96% ,respectively. The Grade 1 and 2 acute radiation skin reaction rate was 95.1% and 4.9%, respectively. Conclusion Compared with conventional radiotherapy, IMRT improves dose distribution of CTV and reduce the dose of normal tissue around CTV;but with better clinical effects and lower side-respond for early breast cancer patients after breast conservative surgery.
