Objective To investigate the effect of mindfulness on anxiety and depression of gynecological oncology patients.Methods Using objective methods,80 patients with gynecological oncology were divided to the usual care group and mindfulness training group according to random number table,40 cases in each group.The self -rated anxiety scale and self -rated depression scale were used to compare the effects at three times.Results There were 3 patients lost and 77 patients were analyzed finally.The ANOVA showed that there were significant differences on anxiety and depression scores of SAS (F =4.614,P =0.035) and SDS (F =4.070,P =0.044) between the two groups,and the scores of SAS (F =15.115,P <0.001) and SDS (F =7.034,P =0.002) had interaction effects. Conclusion Mindfulness can adjust the psychology state of gynecological oncology patients and decreased the level of anxiety and depression.

Objective:To explore the surgical techniques in posterolateral mini-incision total hip arthroplasty and clinical effcacy.
Methods:A total of 94 patients (98 hips) had posterolateral mini-incision total hip arthroplasty, from December 2006 to December 2008, and were randomly divided into a posterolateral mini-incision total hip arthroplasty group (Group A) and a conventional group of posterolateral incision for total hip arthroplasty (Group B). Forty-nine patients (50 hips) in Group A had posterolateral small incision total hip arthroplasty [26 males, 23 females, between 37.0 and 95.0 years (average 68.9 years), body mass index (BMI) between 20.3 and 29.7 (average BMI 25.4)]. Forty-ifve patients (48 hips) in Group B had the conventional posterolateral incision [27 males, 18 females, between 45.0 and 92.0 years (average 69.7 years), BMI between 18.7 and 34.1 (average BMI 26.9)]. The incision length, blood loss, drainage, operation time, and postoperative Harris scores were compared between the 2 groups.
Results:The incision length was 6.0~10.5 (average length 7.4) cm, average blood loss was 387.6 (140.0~1000.0) mL, average drainage was 143.1 (63.0~375.0) mL, average blood transfusion was 77.6 (0~400.0) mL, average operation time was 84.6 (63.0~130.0) min, and vitalock abduction angle imaging after the operation was 41.6° (averagely 38.0°~57.0°) in Group A. The incision length was 15.0~23.0 (average length 20.0) cm, average blood loss was 513.1 (210.0~1350.0) mL, average drainage was 152.3 (70.0~520.0) mL, average blood transfusion was 142.2 (0~800.0) mL, average operation time was 84.0 (71.0~115.0) min, and postoperative radiographic acetabular cup abduction angle was 42.3° (37.0°~54.0°) in Group B. The follow-up showed that the prosthesis of the 2 groups was in a good position, Harris score was significantly improved with no complications after total hip arthroplasty in the 2 groups.
Conclusion:With the correct selection of indications and adept operation skills and other circumstances, posterolateral mini-incision total hip arthroplasty may do little damage to the soft tissue with a small scar on the skin. The imaging evaluation after the operation and the Harris score show no difference between the 2 groups. Patients are satisfied with their joint function and postoperative recovery.

Objective To investigate the bettertherapeutic method and clinical efficacy of discoid meniscus injury under arthroscope.Methods Forty-one patients with discoid meniscus injury were selected as our subjects from Nov.2011 to Feb.2013,who were treated by arthroscopic surgery and performed with meniscus plasty.Thirt-eight patients were received ultra Fast-fix meniscal repair system.Joint function exercises were performed on bed within 1 month after operation.Incomplete weight bearing were performed after 1 month postoperation.After 3 month postoperation,they were permitted for full weight bearing.Results All patients were treated successfully with surgery and no postoperative complications occurred.The patients were followed up from 3.0 to 18.0 months and average was 10.5 months.The preoperative Lysholm scores were(68.28 ±8.04)) lower than that at the postoperation (88.17 ± 7.49)) and the difference were significant (t =11.59,P ＜ 0.05).Furthermore,according to Ikeuchi criterion,the outcomes were 28 cases with excellent,10 cases with good and 3 cases with general rank.Conclusion Discoid meniscus plasty and suture under arthroscope is proved to be a better approach with less trauma,recovery quickly and fewer complications.It should be a preferred method for discoid meniscus injury.

Background Activation of serum complement system is involved in the pathological process of uveitis and open angle glaucoma.Pathogenesis and pathological characteristics of Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS) are similar to uveitis and open angle glaucoma.However,etiology of PSS remains unelucidated.The activation complement in PSS patients' serum is rarely reported.Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the activation of serum complement in PSS patients for PSS pathogenesis.Methods A prospective case-controlled study was designed.The peripheral blood simples of 79 PSS patients were collected from Shenzhen Eye Hospital during December 2013 to December 2015,and the peripheral blood simples were obtained from 83 unrelated healthy blood donors as healthy control group.Immuno-scatter turbidmetry was adopted to detect the common activated components in complement pathway in each group including complement C3 (a vital intersection molecule in the three pathways),C4 (the vital molecule both the complement classical and lectin pathways),split products C3a,soluble membrane attack complex (sC5b-9),C 1q (complement classical pathway),L-ficolin (complement lectin pathway),complement factor Bb (complement alternative pathway),IgG,IgA and IgM.The correlation between serum C3a content and sC5b-9 content in PSS group was analyzed.The serum contents of fabric binding protein 2 (FCN2) (a marker of serum classical pathway),factor Bb (a marker of complement alternative pathway),C3a (the common activation products of three complement activation pathways),and sC5b-9 were assayed by ELISA.This research protocal was approved by Shenzhen Eye Hospital and written informed consent was obtained from each PSS patient prior to any medical examination.Results Compared with normal control group,the serum levels of C3,C4,C3a,sC5b-9,C1q,FCN2,IgG,IgA and IgM were significantly higher in PSS group (Z =-4.743,-2.913,-1.985,-2.620,-2.062,-2.500,-7.010,-6.327,-3.652,all at P ＜ 0.05).The serum complement factor Bb level was 13.87 (9.24,32.00) μg/ml in PSS group,which was significantly lower than 20.51 (12.90,33.50) μg/ml in normal control group (Z =-2.515,P =0.012).Serum C3a content was positively correlated with the serum sC5b-9 content in PSS group (rs =0.832,P＜0.001).Conclusions The serum complement system is activated in PSS patients.Complement alternative pathway,classical pathway and lectin pathway might all be involved in the activative process of complement system.

BACKGROUND: Hydrogen sulfide signaling has been proved to promote distraction osteogenesis; however,the underlying mechanism remains unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between hydrogen sulfide and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)during the osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells under tensile stress.METHODS: 2000 μ strain was loaded on the in vitro cultured rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells by a four-point bending apparatus, and hydrogen sulfide donor or HIF-1α inhibitor was adopted in the tensile unit. Subsequently, the levels of osteogenic markers were detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Exogenous hydrogen sulfide signaling could promote the osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells under tensile stress. However, this promotion was obviously eliminated when the endogenous HIF-1α expression was inhibited.These results show that hydrogen sulfide signaling system promotes the osteogenesis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells under tensile stress probably through HIF-1α.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological factors on the prognosis and investigate the necessity of adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 255 patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2000 to December 2005 were collected.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rate of the patients were analyzed by Log-rank test.Factors influencing the survival were analyzed by Cox regression model.Results All patients were followed up till April 23,2010,and the mean time of follow-up was (63 ± 22)months.The median survival time was 63 months.The 5-year and tumor-free survival rates were 85.3％ and 83.7％,respectively.The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients without preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation were 86.9％ and 85.6％,which were sigaificantly higher than 72.7％and 68.4％ of patients with preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation(x2 =4.546,4.573,P ＜ 0.05 ).The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients with negative resection margin were 85.5％ and 83.9％,which were significantly higher than 75.0％ and 75.0％ of patients with positive resection margin(x2 =7.020,6.009,P ＜ 0.05 ).The result of multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation were the independent risk factors for patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer(Wald =4.477,relative risk =2.371,95 ％ confidence interval:1.066-5.275,P ＜ 0.05 ).The 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates were 87.3％ and 86.0％ for patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy,and were 82.2％ and 80.3％ for patients who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Preoperative bowel obstruction or perforation are independent risk factors for the survival of patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.Adjuvant chemotherapy could not improve the prognosis of patients with stage Ⅱ colorectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between tumor-infiltrating mast cell (TIM) and the clinicopathological and prognostic factors of patients with colorectal cancer.MethodsA total of 282 cases of paraffin-embedded colorectal cancer specimens were obtained from the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2002 to December 2005.The density of TIM was determined by immunohistochemical staining.According to the mean TIM density detected [ ( 8.4 + 6.5 )/HPF ],all the patients were divided into low-TIM density group (mean TIM density ＜8.4/HPF) and high-TIM density group (mean TIM density ＞8.4/HPF).The clinicopathological factors and the prognosis of patients between high-TIM density group and low-TIM density group were compared.All data were analyzed using the t test or chi-square test.The survival curve was drawn using the Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival of the patients was analyzed by the Log-rank test.The clinicopathological factors were analyzed retrospectively with the univariate and multivariate COX regression model.ResultsTIM was detected in all the patients with colorectal cancer.Significant differences were observed in the number of patients in N stage and TNM stage between patients in the high-TIM density group and those in the lowTIM density group (x2 =6.025,7.410,P ＜ 0.05 ).All patients were followed up till September 2010,the 5-year overall and tumor-free survival rates of patients were 82.9％ and 63.1％ in the low-TIM density group,79.0％ and 59.3％ in the high-TIM density group,with significant difference between the 2 groups (P ＜ 0.05 ).COX proportional hazard regression model revealed that high density of TIM was associated with short overall survival time and tumor-free survival time of colorectal cancer patients ( RR =2.119,95 ％ CI 1.326- 3.386; RR =2.084,95 ％ CI 1.357-3.199,P ＜0.05).The resuhs of multivariate analysis showed that high density of TIM was the independent factor influencing the overall survival time and tumor-free survival time (RR =1.651,95％ CI 1.009-2.702; RR =1.680,95％ CI 1.074-2.629,P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionHigh density of TIM is correlated with the N stage and TNM stage of colorectal cancer,and it is an independent predictor of poor survival for patients with colorectal cancer.

ObjectiveTo compare orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)and combined liverkidney transplantation (CLKT) in the treatment of severe hepatitis B.MethodsIn this study 52 patients of severe hepatitis B were allocated to OLT (40 cases) or CLKT( 12 cases) at our department from Jan.2001 to Sep.2005.The perioperative complications and the result of follow-up were analyzed.ResultsThe preoperative renal functions in CLKT cases were severer than that in OLT cases.Postoperative severe infection was more common in CLKT cases than that in OLT cases.In OLT group 28 patients (70％)suffered from early posttransplant renal dysfunction,among them 11 patients needed dialysis,whilst there were 2 (16.7％ ) patients who needed dialysis in CLKT group (P ＜0.01 ).The posttransplant mortality in OLT group was 40％ ( n =16),significantly higher than that in CLKT ( 16.7％,n =2) ( P ＜ 0.01 ).In OLT group,9 cases developed severe renal failure and died.No one died of renal failure in CLKT group.ConclusionsThe prognosis is more favorable to perform CLKT in patients who suffered from severe hepatitis B with chronic renal dysfunction before transplantation.

Objective To determine anatomic parameters related to the surgery of lumbar cortical bone trajectory of normal adults and the feasibility of screw application in cortical bone and its specification and dimension.Methods Lumbar 3D image data of 80 adults between 18 and 40 years old (40 for each gender) were randomly selected as subjects of our research.With the help of the imaging software for 3D interactive viewing,the ideal starting point was supposed to be the junction of the center of the superior articular process and 1 mm below the inferior border of the transverse process.The diameter,length,lateral angle to the vertebral horizontal plane,cephalad angle to the vertebral sagittal plane of the trajectory and the horizontal distance from the insertion point to the lateral edge of the vertebral plate were measured.Differences of anatomic parameters for each gender,side and segment were analyzed.Results Differences of anatomic parameters on both sides of each segment had no statistical significance.At the ideal trajectory,the mean screw length was 37.56±2.41 mm at L1,38.72±2.36 mm at L2,39.51 ±2.51 mm at L3,39.78± 2.87 mm at L4 and 38.83±2.74 mm at L5.The mean screw diameters from L1 to L5 were 6.04±1.23 mm,6.17±1.24 mm,7.15±1.22 mm,8.02± 1.41 mm and 8.68± 1.42 mm respectively.However,differences of ideal entry angle of L1 to L5 had no statistical significance.The mean lateral angle from L1 to L5 were 8.46°±2.11°,9.37°±2.84°,9.62°±2.16°,9.53°± 1.98°,9.04°± 1.97°,while the mean cephalad angle to the vertebral sagittal plane from L1 to L5 were 26.49°±4.97°,25.94°±4.56°,26.42°±4.42°,26.29°±3.48°,26.89°±3.69°.The mean distance from the insertion point to the lateral edge of the vertebral plate gradually increased from L1 to L5,which were 1.19±0.75 mm,1.54±1.08 mm,2.01±1.45 mm,3.49±1.52 mm,4.47±1.32 mm respectively.The screw diameters of each segment for men were greater than those for women.Conclusion The common length of screw for lumbar cortical bone trajectory of normal adults might be from 35 mm to 40 mm.The safe upper limits of the screw diameter were 5.5 mm at L1,5.5-6.0 mm at L2,6.5-7.0 mm at L3,7.5 mm at L4 and 8 mm at L5.The average lateral angle of all 5 lumbar segments was 9.20°± 2.11° and the average cephalad angle was about 26.41°±4.22°.
