Objective To investigate four methods for establishing animal models of human breast cancer bone metastasis. Methods Thirty-two female nude mice aged 4-6 weeks were divided randomly into four groups (n=8 in each group). 5×105 MDA-MB-231 cells were injected into the body via the left second mammary fat pads (group A), the tail veins (group B), the left heart ventricles (group C) and the left tibia marrow cavities (group D), respectively. Tumor formations in situ were recorded in group A. Deaths after the injection were recorded. The surviving nude mice 49 days after the injection were subjected to pathological examination to determine bone metastasis. Results The rate of tumor formation in situ of group A was87.5 %(7/8). One mouse in group C died after the injection of MDA-MB-231 cells. The bone metastasis rate in groups A, B, C and D was zero (0/8), 12.5 % (1/8), 71.4 % (5/7) and 100 % (8/8), respectively. There was statistically significant difference in the bone metastasis rate between group A and group C, group A and group D, group B and group C; and group B and group D. Conclusion Injections of tumor cells via the breast fat pads and tail veins were not suitablemethods to establish animal models of human breast cancer bone metastasis. The bone metastasis model could be established efficiently by injecting tumor cells into the left heart ventricles or the bone marrow cavity of nude mice.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate auditory developments and the effectiveness of children with congenital bilateral aural atresia after using softband Ponto and to compare them with children with normal hearing. METHOD: Twenty patients (age ranging from 3 months to 21 months ) with bilateral aural atresia were studied. The air and bone auditory thresholds were assessed by auditory brain stem response (ABR). The infant-todder meaning auditory integration scale (IT-MAIS) was used to evaluate the auditory development at three time levels: baseline, 3 months and 6 months. RESULT: The average unaided bone conduction hearing thresholds of patients is (17.5 ± 5.9)dB nHL,and the average air conduction hearing thresholds is (72.5 ± 9.3)dB nHL. The average VRA hearing thresholds of 5 patients is (30.5 ± 5.9) dB HL. The IT-MAIS total, detection and perception scores are improved specifically after wearing softband Ponto and approaching the normal level. CONCLUSION Softband Ponto is suitable for infants with bilateral atresia. Results from these auditory development testing are encouraging. Softband Ponto should be used as a bridge for surgical implantations when temporal bone is thick enough.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of interventional occlusion with thin waist occluder for perimembranous ventricular septal defect with pseudoaneurysm. Methods During the period from March 2008 to March 2013 at Shanghai Yodak Cardiothoracic Hospital , interventional occlusion with thin waist occluder was carried out in a total of 96 patients with perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) complicated by pseudoaneurysm. The patient’s age varied from 2 years to 36 years. Before the procedure, routine left ventricular angiography and ascending aortic angiography were carried out. Left ventricular angiography and ascending aortic angiography as well as the transthoracic ultrasonography were performed immediately after the procedure to observe the therapeutic results. Follow-up checkups with transthoracic ultrasonography, EKG and chest X-ray film were conducted at one week as well as at one, 3, 6 and 9 months after the surgery were conducted. Results Successful occlusion of VSD was obtained in 93 patients, with a success rate of 96.8% (93/96). After the surgery, small amount of shunt flow was detected in 8 patients, which disappeared within 48 hours in 7 patients, and in the other one the shunt flow disappeared one month later which was confirmed by follow-up examination. After the treatment, complete right bundle branch block occurred in 4 patients, complete left bundle branch block in 5 patients, and transientⅢdegree atrioventricular block in one patient. The conduction block disappeared at the time of discharge in all patients. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) decreased from preoperative (47.5 ± 5.2) mm to postoperative (45.2 ± 5.1) mm, the difference was statistically significant (t = 18.33, P < 0.01). During the follow-up period lasting for 9 months, no delayed cardiac arrhythmia, valve damage or sudden death occurred. Conclusion For the treatment of perimembranous ventricular septal defect with pseudoaneurysm, interventional occlusion with thin waist occluder is safe and effective with excellent mid-term effect. Based on the imaging findings, including the location, shape, ruptured orifice, number of the perimembranous pseudoaneurysm as well as the distance between the pseudoaneurysm and the aortic valve, to select suitable occluder and proper occlusion site is the key to ensure a successful surgery.

BACKGROUND: Based on a mouse model of tibial implantation, some scholars have found that the CaP-coated implant with recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-34) (PTH(1-34)) shows strong osteogenesis effect at early stage, but this coating has not been applied in the oral environment.OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of local application of PTH(1-34) on immediate implant osseointegration . METHODS: Nine New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (six in experimental group and three in control group). All of the tooth sockets were filled with heterogeneous freeze-dried bone firstly after four incisors of each rabbit were extracted. In the experimental group, a titanium screw with PTH(1-34) loaded CaP coating was implanted into each tooth socket, while in the control group, a titanium screw with only CaP coating was implanted. The animals were executed respectively at 4, 8, 12 weeks after operation, and the intact maxillary and mandibular specimens were harvested and tested by gross observation, bone density analysis, torque test, histologic al observation, X-ray observation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The gray value and maximum torque value of regenerated osseous tissue at different time points in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Within 4-12 weeks after implantation, regenerated and mature bone tissue appeared earlier in the experimental group than the control group. A large amount of new blood vessels were seen in the experimental group at 8 weeks after implantation, while in the control group, there were only few new blood vessels. To conclude, the local application of PTH(1-34) can promote bone formation, improve the implant-bone bonding strength, and enhance the stability of the implant.

Objective To investigate the approach and effect of PDT and TTT therapeutic alliance for isolated choroidal angioma according to the lication. Methods After mydriasis,through 90D retinal mirror examination ,fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) ,Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and ultrasound,the diagnosis of angiography choroidsal hemangioma was made. Position:peripapillary , six cases( tumors locating only in macula fovea were not included in this statistical area). OCT suggested that epithetlial tumors from the surface of nerve macular were affected. Period of the disease was between one week and two months . Preoperative best corrected vision acuity range was 1. 05 ～ 0.4. By ultrasonography, tumors thickenss was from 2.2mm to 4mm, and diameter was from 6.6mm to 11.2mm. OCT indicated that the height of neural epithetlium breaking away from macular area was between 156mm and 486mm. inferior retinas separated two months after morbidity. TTT was partly applied to cure tumor body ortside macdular area with IRIS Medical OculightSLX gallium arsenicde laser(810nm). Energy:per light spot shining diameter was 1 mm, and the power was between 150mw to 250mW, and time was 60s. Therapeutic standard was retinal surface changing to pale. Choroids shrunk back and retinal ptgment epithetlium prolixferated in TTT therapy area;recheck 2 weeks later. If FFA showed that active macula fovea pathological changes were not cured, PDT was performed as following :689nm laser was used , and veteporfin ( comm. ercial name : Visudyne) was injected by intravenous at a speed of 6mg/mm~2 , and 15 minutes later, the laser was irradiated for a period of 83 ～ 126s. For tumors with thicdness under 3mm,one light spot was irradiated for 83s;for rumors with thicdness above 3mm, acouple light apot was irradiated for 125s. A small quantity of hyperpigmintation occurred in the limbus,luteus retinae at the second week of follow up. All the cases were followed up for 3 months to 12 months. Results The final vision reached 0.1 ～ 1.0. OCT showed that the earliest complete recovery of limbus luteus retinae neural epithetlium was at the third week, and for another 3 cases,the recovery was at the 4th week. One case with detachment of retina partial recovered 3 months after treatment. OCT suggested that most of the macular detachment and epithetlial cystic degenerateion of neurons recovered to normal. type - B ultrasound was performed in the first three months of treatment. The tumors were difficult to be detected in two cases, and four cases had a thickness of 0. 8 ～2.2mm. At the 6th month,the detection of tumors for the six cases showed normal results. PDT was used only once in the included six cases. Conclusion PDT and TTT therapeutic alliance for isolated choroidsal angioma is safe and effective at special position of eye ground. Each treatment showed its unlque adventages in this combination with a reduction of frequentcy and cost of expensive cost of PDT, and satisfying results of the shrink of the rumors and improvement or preservation of vision.
