1.Mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors and tumor therapy
Journal of International Oncology 2012;39(8):576-579
Mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) inhibitors have the anti-tumor ettect,which have been known early.The traditional mTOR inhibitors include rapamycin and its derivatives,which have been applied in clinical use early.Nowadays,some new small molecule inhibitors such as the PI3K/mTOR duel inhibitor,Torinl,one after another are found to play a unique role in the tumor therapy.
2.ERG theory in analysis of work satisfaction of nurses in general hospitals
Chinese Journal of Hospital Administration 2009;25(10):702-706
Objective Investigation of satisfaction of clinical nurses and analysis of the influence factors.Methods The ERG theory of Clayton Alderfer is used as the framework to design the questionnaires,for questionnaire investigation of 249 nurses in the hospital in a stratified sampling,Results The score of general satisfaction of nurses for their work is 3.40±0.58;the satisfaction of nurses for the management of their leaders and teamwork is high,as the satisfaction scores are 4.01±0.76 and 3.60±0.71 respectively;their satisfaction for salary,welfare and social identity is low,as the scores are 2.46±0.86 and 2.50±1.02 respectively.Work satisfaction varies with departments,academic levels,monthly income,work shifts,age,seniority,and objectives for their choice of nursing as profession.Conclusion Managers are prompted to enhance their work in view of the satisfaction scores on survival,mutual relations and growth,as well as factors affecting satisfaction,and take various incentives to improve overall satisfaction of nurses.

[Objective] To gain more insight into the presentation,diagnosis of Bertolotti's syndrome and to investigate the indications,the procedure and the early clinical results of minimally invasive transverse process plasty.[Methods]Thirteen cases(Santavirta Type I)with Bertolotti's syndrome underwent minimally invasive transverse process plasty under MED X-tube(Medtronic Sofamor)from Apr.2006 to Dec.2008.The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS),Modified Oswestry Disability Index(ODI)score and subjective sensation of patients were recorded to evaluate the function.[Results]The operation blood loss was from 120 ml to 800 ml and operative time was from 60 to 280 minutes,average 115minutes.There was no severe complication.Nine cases were followed up for 10 to18 months,average 13.6 months.The VAS decreased from(6.7?2.2)before operation to(2.2?0.7)one week after operation and(2.8?0.9)three months after operation.ODI score decreased from(27.8?3.6)before operation to(5.9?2.2)three months after operation.The results were excellent in 10 case and good in 3 cases.[Conclusion]Minimally invasive transverse process plasty is an effective method for Bertolotti's syndrome,especially for Santavirta type I.It shows less blood loss and injury and deserves to be spreaded.Disectomy is recommended in one stage if the patient is complicated with disc herniation.

objective: To study the effects of BMP on the growth of osteosarcoma cells. Methods: Human antisense BMP2 retrovirus expression vector was constructed and transfected into human osteosarcoma OS 9901 cells by Lipofect AMINE. Positive cell clones were selected with G 418. The expression of BMP and PCNA were determined by immunohistochemical methods, image analysis and expressed as grey level. The morphology and cell cycle distribution of the cells were studied by electronmicroscope and flowcytometry respectively. Results:The grey levels of BMP and PCNA in the transfected cells were 198.4?8.51 and 197.3?3.22, those of the control were 135.1?12.32 and 142.9?8.47,respectively. G 1, G 2 and S phase cells were 51.9%,18.2% and 22.7% in the cell cycle of transfected cells, while those of the control were 52.8%,11.1% and 36.1%, respectively.Increased lysosome and small pieces of chromatin were observed in the transfected cells under electronmicroscope. Conclusion:Transfection of antisense BMP2 may inhibite the expression of BMP and proliferating activity of osteosarcoma cells.

Objective To study the value and limitation of CT in the damage to multiple organs in children with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Methods Analysis of CT manifestations was performed in 13 cases of LCH proved by clinical features, laboratory data, and pathologic changes. Localized LCH was found in 4 cases, and disseminated LCH in 9 cases. All cases were examined by plain scan in craniocerebral, chest, liver, and spleen, and four cases by contrast-enhanced CT scan. Results The male outnumbered female in this group. Cranial bones were involved in the sequence of temporal bone(8 cases), parietal bone (3 cases), occipital bone (2 cases), and frontal bone (1 case). CT findings were very sensitive in showing the early destructions of the bones. The characteristic manifestation on CT was multiple lytic lesions of the flat bones at any sites, without reactive sclerosis and soft tissue mass accompanied with the bony lesion. Imaging findings presented later than the clinical manifestations for LCH involving the hypothalamus/pituitary axis. Involvement of the lung at various stages by LCH could be demonstrated by CT scan. Conclusion Imaging manifestations had no characteristics in LCH involvement. The sites of predilection and related CT manifestations could be suggestive of the diagnosis. In addition, CT findings can be helpful in the classification and evaluation of the therapy and prognosis in LCH.

Objective To evaluate the actual displacement of a femoral neck fracture following close reduction under the C-arm X-ray perspective.Methods From June, 2006 to June, 2009, we managed 12 patients with femoral neck fracture by open reduction and internal fixation.They were 8 males and 4 females, aged from 23 to 65 (average, 42.3) years old.We tried close reduction of their fractures under the C-arm X-ray perspective before a temporary fixation.Next we performed open reduction, readjusted the fracture ends, and placed internal fixation.The actual displacement of the fracture measured after open reduction was carefully compared with the close reduction under the X-ray perspective.Results A substantial displacement was found after open reduction in 7 patients who had achieved anatomic reduction under the X-ray perspective.In the other 5 patients who presented with a slight displacement after close reduction under X-ray perspective, the actual displacements were larger than the X-ray observations but completely reduced after open reduction.The actual measurements after open reduction were significantly larger (3.21 ± 0.96 mm on average) in the anteroposterior displacement ( t = 11.540, P = 0.000), but insignificantly larger (0.58 ±0.93 mm on average) in the superior-inferior displacement ( t = 2.184, P = 0.346) than those after close reduction.Conclusions In general, anatomic reduction can not be achieved for a femoral neck fracture under the C-arm X-ray perspective.Consequently, open reduction may be better than close reduction in the treatment of femoral neck fracture in that improper reduction can block blood supply to the femoral neck and dissection of the capsula articularis coxae can improve blood supply as well as help decompression.

Objective To investgate the efficiency of autologous fat grafting for breast augmentation by improving low negative pressure mechanical liposuction.Methods A total of 37 cases of breast augmentation by autologous fat grafting were reviewed;group A included 19 cases of improved low pressure mechanical liposuction,and group B had 18 cases of traditional syringe liposuction.Respectively,the operating time of harvesting 800 ml fat granules (standing 30 mins) were recorded,and operative blood loss by testing the red blood cell count of lower mixed liquid was calculated,and then growth increment of nipple chest circumference of 6 months after operation were measured.The valid follow-up satisfaction scores were counted.Results The operating time of harvesting 800 ml fat granules were (53.32±4.73) mins for group A and (80.78±7.86) mins for group B,respectively;operative blood loss was (81.58±10.80) ml for group A and (72.94±13.45) ml for group B;All P<0.05.The valid follow-up satisfaction scores were 78.9% (15/19) for group A and 77.7% (14/19) for group B.Growth increment of nipple chest circumference of 6 months after operation between groups were no statistical significance (P>0.05);but the remarkable difference within both groups in internal comparison existed between 6 months and 1 month after operation (P<0.05),also between 3 months and 1 month after operation (P<0.05).Conclusions Improved low pressure mechanical liposuction in breast augmentation by autologous fat grafting is able to enhance the surgical efficiency evidently and shorten the operating time significantly.
