Objective To investigate the effect of S100A8/A9 protein complex on the surface morphology and the F-actin network in human cervical carcinoma cell line,CasKi cells.Methods After being cultured with 20 ?g/ml S100A8/A9 protein complex,the cell skeleton of the CasKi cells were observed under a confocal scanning fluorescence microscope by staining the F-actin network.Atomic force microscopy(AFM) was employed to reveal the change of ultrastructure of the cell surface in vivo.ResultsAfter being cultured with the S100A8/A9 protein complex for 24 hours,the F-actin network disorder was revealed.Most of the F-actins distributed peripherally.The OD value of the F-actin decreased significantly from 92.42?5.16 to 57.67?3.70 after been treated with the S100A8/A9(t=5.268,P=0.000).The AFM showed a withdrawing morphology with reduced pseudopodia and destruction of stress fibers. Conclusion S100A8/A9 protein complex can change the ultrastructure of the surface of CasKi cells and its stress fibers by re-distributing of the F-actin in the cells.

[Objective]To research short-term results of primary total hip arthroplasty using the cementless modular S-ROM prosthesis for the treatment of severe developmental dysplasia of the hip.[Method]Eighten patients(19 hips) with severe developmental dysplasia of the hip underwent primary total hip arthroplasty using the S-ROM prosthesis.Of the patients,6 were male and 12 were female.The average age was 32 years.According to the Crowe classification system,there were 11 hips in type Ⅲ and 8 hips in type Ⅳ.The acetabulums were deepened at the level of the true acetabulum.The S-ROM modular stems were used on the femoral side.Subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy was performed when it was difficult to reset.The Harris hip score(HHS) and radiography were used to evaluate the hip function preoperatively and at the follow-up.[Result]One proximal femur tissure fracture occurred,and was bundled up with circle wire.There were 2 postoperative sciatic nerve irritation,which disappeared completely within 3 months.All patients were available for follow-up.There was one heterotopic ossification above greater trochanter.But the mobility of the hip was normal.There was no loosening or infection during the follow-up.Average follow-up period was(2.8) years(range,6 months-5 years).The HHS increased from 38.4 preoperatively to 85.2 at the time of final follow-up.[Conclusion]S-ROM is a perfect choice for the teatment of severe developmental dysplasia of the hip.Short-time clinical results were excellent.

The level of the in vitro synthesis of secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) was determined by the sissue culture of the endoscopically biopsied gastric mucosa from patients with noncancerous gastric diseases. The amount of SIgA synthesis in chronic superficial gastritis (4.35?0.32?g/mg) and chronic atrophic gastritis (4. 82?0. 22ug/mg) was higher than that in the normal stomach (2.76?0.21 ?g/mg) (p

A new group of gastric cancer associated antigens in sera of patients with rectal cancer, benign diseases and normal human were detected by MG series monoclonal antibodies against gastric cancer. The average values of normal persons plus 3 standard deviations was set as the highest limit of normal value. The positive rate were 69.7% (23/33) in sera of patients with rectal cancer, and 4%(1/25) in sera of patients with benign diseases. The values of MG-Ags were decreased to normal level 8-10 days after surgical removal in 5 patients of rectal cancer. The results of test suggest that determination of MG-Ags in serum of patients might be helpful in the diagnosis of rectal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE: To study the therapeutic effect of treating knee arthropathy with total knee arthroplasty using rotating-platform knee prosthesis. METHODS: A total of 62 patients (74 knees) in Provincial Hospital Affiliated To Shandong University from January 2005 to January 2009 were selected, including 36 males (41 knees) and 26 females (33 knees), aged 52-79 years, mean aged 61.5 years; 28 cases with left knee, 22 cases with right knee and 12 cases of both knees. The cases were composed of 34 cases with osteoarthritis, 21 cases with rheumatoid arthritis and 7 cases with traumatic arthritis. All the patients received the total knee arthroplasty for the first time using rotating-platform knee prosthesis, no replacement of the patella. The clinical results of pre-operetion and after-operation were evaluated by the HSS knee rating score system. RESULTS: All the patients were followed-up for averaged 22 months (3-48 months) after operation. Incisions of all the cases were healed, and there was no infection and hematoma. Lower extremity deep venous thrombosis occurred in 2 cases at 3 days after operation. Swelling disappeared through drug treatment 10 days later. Pain and function of all the patients were obviously ameliorated after operation. The average HSS knee rating score was 44.99 (from 34 to 58) before total knee arthroplasty, which was improved to 88.78 (from 69 to 98), and the good-to-excellent rate was 98% (excellent 45 cases, good 16 cases, average 1 case). There were no signs of prosthetic dislocation or loosening in the X-ray films. CONCLUSION: Total knee arthroplasty using rotating-platform knee prosthesis owns advantages of easy surgical operation, tess complications, good recovery and satisfactory results in a short-term.

Objective Hypothyroidism may have adverse effects on the post-operative outcomes. We evaluated the outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients who had both coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypothyroidism.Methods Among 1347 patients undergoing CABG between September 2002 and June 2009, hypothyroidism was diagnosed in 21 patients (Group A, with 6 men and 15 women) and treated with thyroxin replacement therapy. The average age of patients in group A was(60.4 ± 10.2). Hypothyroidism was identified with tests for thyroid functions. CABG in 4 patients was performed with extracorporeal circulation, three of them received on-pump beating heart CABG, and in 17 patients was performed with off pump CABG( OPCAB). CABG was performed following the improvement of FT3, FT4 and TSH with the use of levothyroxine for all patients in group A Twenty patients with CAD in the absence of hypothyroidism ( group B) served as control, 4 of these patients underwent CABG with extracorporeal circulation. Data of thyroid function and hemodynamics pre-, post- and during operation were analyzed. Results Serum thyroid hormones, such as FT3, were measured with sensitive and specific radioimmunoassays peri-operatively. In the patients receiving CABG without extraorporeal circulation, the mean serum FT3 concentrations were ( 1. 39 ± 0. 36 ) pg/ml pre-operatively and ( 1.29 ± 0. 32 ) pg/ml post-operatively ( P = 0.18 ) for 17 cases in group A, and were (2.28 ±0.36)pg/ml and (2.19 ±0.34) pg/ml respectively (P =0.24)for 16 cases in Group B. In the patients receiving CABG with extracorporeal circulation, the mean serum FT3 concentrations were( 1.53 ±0.51 )pg/ml pre-operatively and (0.85 ± 0.40) pg/ml post-operatively ( P = 0. 04 ) for 4 cases in group A, and were ( 2.08 ± 0.24) pg/ml vs. ( 1.96 ±0. 26) pg/ml ( P = 0. 26 ) for 4 cases in group B. The CIs of patients in group A and group B were ( 2.7 ± 1.4)L · min-1 · m-2 vs. (2.8 ±1.5) L · min-1 · m-2, P=0.53). One patients with severe hypothyroidism and underwent CABG with extracorporeal circulation in Group A died of refractory bradycardia after failure in heart resuscitation. Twenty survivors in group A underwent coronary artery bypass on-beating heart. All survivors had improvement in cardiac function during 2to 30 months of follow-up, their preoperative ejection fraction (EF) was 0.48 ± 0.17 and follow-up EF was 0.55 ± 0. 21. All 20 patients in group B were alive. There was no significant difference between group A and B in hemodynamics, prognosis, duration of hospitalization [( 12.2 ±4.7 ) day vs. ( 10. 1 ± 3.9 ) day, P = 0.17], time to extubation [( 17.6 ± 9. 1 ) h vs.(15.1 ± 13.7) h, P =0.12]. Conclusion CABG in patients with both CAD and hypothyroidism is relatively safe. Proper peri-operative nanagement, combined with on-beating heart techniques of CABG, may decrease the operation risks. Off pump CABG had little effect on serum concentrations of FT3. Peri-operative thyroid replacement therapy was critical for patients with hypothyroidism. Patients with severe hypothyroidism who underwent CABG with extracorporeal circulation were at high risk.

Objective:To compare the quality of life following total gastrectomy(TG) with that folliwng subtotal gastrectomy(SG) in patients with gastric carcinoma.Methods:Sixty-six patients underwent gastrectomy between 2003 and 2005 at the Department of General Surgery of the Qilu Hospital were enrolled into this study.Among them,15 underwent TG,42 accepted distal end subtotal gastrectomy(DSG) and 9 underwent proximal end(PSG) .The EORTC quality of life questionnaire QLQ-STO20 was used in the present retrospective study to assess follow quality of life of thes patients.The food-intake,local symptom and quality of life of the 3 groups were compared.Results:Patients recovered worse in short term after TG compared with PSG,but there was no statistical difference in the near future.But both of them were not as good as DSG.The contraflow was common and serious after PSG.The incidence rate of abdominal distension was high.Conclusion:The indication of TG for carcinoma of the superior part of stomach can be extented properly.Evidence-Based Medicine should be used to screen better reconstruction mode.On the base of radical cure,quality of life should be improved as far as possible.

Objective To investigate effects of low shear stress on atherosclerosis,the development of atherosclerosis and expression of ?actin and cMyc proteins were studied in VSMC of common carotid artery under low shear stress. Methods We established the atherosclerotic model of left common carotid artery that presented low shear stress by the operation of ligating the left external carotid artery in rabbits.The histomorphology of the carotid arteries was examined by light microscopy.The expression of ?actin and cMyc was studied by immunohistochemistry. Results The typical atherosclerosis was observed and the atherosclerotic lesion was obviously accelerated under low shear stress.The expression of ?actin was downregulated and the phenotype of VSMC converted from contractile phenotype into synthetic phenotype,and expression of cMyc increased in VSMC of the artery under low shear stress.Conclusion This new model of atherosclerosis under low shear stress was successfully established,which provides a new tool for studying the effects of low shear stress on atherosclerosis.The results show that the atherosclerotic lesion is obviously accelerated and VSMC tends to proliferate in response to low shear stress.

Objective To compare the consistency of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in detecting c-erbB-2 status in breast cancer tissues. Methods A total of 50 breast cancer paraffin embedded samples were selected, of which there were 10 cases of c-erbB-2 protein expression (+), 20 cases of (++) and 20 cases of (+++). FISH was used to assess the amplification of c-erbB-2 gene, and SPSS 13.0 software was employed to analyze the difference and consistency between the two methods. Results IHC and FISH methods had a good consistency when detecting c-erbB-2 (+) and (+++) expressions in breast cancer tissues, with the coincidence rate of 89.2%. However, when IHC was used to test c-erbB-2 (++), the result of FISH was quite different, with the coincidence rate of only 35.3%. Conclusion IHC is a preliminary method to detect c-erbB-2 status in breast cancer. IHC and FISH methods have a good consistency in detecting c-erbB-2 (+) and (+++) status in breast cancer tissues. As detection of c-erbB-2 (++) with IHC has a different result from FISH, such patients should receive FISH confirmation for herceptin therapy.
