Immunologic classification of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) was carried out by using 11 - 13 kinds of monoclonal antibodies against human leucocyte differentiation antigens in 19 cases. The results showed that of these 19 cases, there were T-ALL in 4, B-ALL in 4, C-ALL in 7, AUL in 2 and hybrid type of ALL (H-ALL) in 2. The 5 types mentioned above could also be classified, according to the immunologic criteria described by Foon in 1986, into 3 major groups: T-ALL, non-T-ALL and H-ALL. The Foon's classification method is useful for judgement of malignant cell source and differentiated stage, and for further understanding the nature of ALL cells.

Methods:by using the research approach of evidence-based medicine such as multi-center,large sample and randomization,the 163 cases of early-stage adhesive shoulder periarthritis were treated with transcutaneous electric point stimulation and electric acupuncture respectively to observe the therapeutic effect of transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation and compare its effect with electric acupuncture.Results and Conclusion:The total effective rate of transcutaneous electric point stimulation on early-stage adhesive shoulder periarthritis reached 96.5%,showing no significant difference with the electric acupuncture group;the transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation could not only relieve pain,but also improve the shoulder joint movement. As a result,the transcutaneous electric acupoint stimulation is an easy and more effective therapy for shoulder periarthritis.

Objective To discuss the effects of capsular tension ring after phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation on tilt and decentration of IOL in high myopia patients with cataract by ultrasonic biomicroscope (UBM).Methods A total of 36 cases (40 eyes) with high myopia and cataract underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation were chosen.The average axial length was 26.88 mm.The patients were divided into implant group (19 eyes,the capsular tension ring was implanted) and control group (21 eyes,the routine surgery was performed).The patients were examined by conventional slit lamp,and the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)was measured at pre-operation and postoperative 6 months.Tilt and decentration were measured horizontally and vertically,and total tilt and decentration were calculated by geometry method.Results The postoperative BCVA in the two groups were all better than the pre-operation,there was no statistical difference in the preoperative and postoperative BCVA between two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).The horizontal,vertical and total decentration the implant group were (0.15 ± 0.07) mm,(0.30 ± 0.40) mm,(0.11 ±0.02)mm,respectively,which in the control group were (0.26 ± 0.19)mm,(0.32 ±0.60) mm,(0.24 ± 0.97) mm,respectively.The horizontal,vertical and total tilt in the implant group were 0.02° ±0.11°,0.70° ±0.25°,0.21° ±0.74°,respectively,which in the control group were 0.11 ° ± 0.31 °,1.09° ± 0.20°,1.24° ± 0.97°,respectively.There were statistical differences in the horizontal,total tilt and decentration between two groups (all P ＜ O.05),but no statistical difference in the vertical tilt and decentration (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The capsular tension ring can stable the IOL position after surgery in high myopia and cataract patients.

Objective To compare clinical efficacy of inverse less invasive stabilization system (LISS) and Gamma nail in treating unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures combined with lateral wall fractures.Methods Fifty-two patients with intertrochanteric fractures associated with lateral wall fractures followed up for at least 12 months after surgical treatment between June 2010 and June 2013 were included in this retrospective cohort study.According to the different internal fixation,the patients were assigned to inverse LISS group [16 males and 8 females;(62.5 ± 12.4)years] and Gamma nail group [17 males and 11 females;(60.4 ± 18.6)years].According to the AO classification,there were 6 patients with A2.2 type,5 A2.3 type,5 A3.1 type,6 A3.2 type and 2 A3.3 type in inverse LISS group,and there were 4 patients with A2.2 type,7 A2.3 type,9 A3.1 type,5 A3.2 type and 3 A3.3 type in Gamma nail group.Opcration time,total blood loss (intraoperaive plus occult blood loss),hospital length of stay,bone healing,time of commencing full weight-beating and complication incidence were compared between the two groups.Harris hip score was recorded postoperatively.Results All patients were followed up for 24-36 months (mean,30.2 months).Operation time in Gamma nail group was shorter than that in inverse LISS group (P ＜ 0.05),while relatively more blood loss was found in Gamma nail group(P ＜0.05).There were no significant differences in hospital length of stay and bone healing timebetween the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Patients in Gamma nail groups started earlier full weight-bearing than inverse LISS group (P ＜0.05).Harris score was (86.1-± 12.4)points in inverse LISS group one year after operation,not significantly different from (83.3 ± 11.2) points in Gamma nail group (P ＞ 0.05).Complication of one patient with coxa vara and one bone nonunion in inverse LISS,showing no significant from one patient with screw breakage and one femoral head osteonecrosis in Gamma nail group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Both techniques are effective in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures combined with lateral wall fractures and achieve similar results in function recovery.But inverse LISS is eccentric fixation,so too early weight-bearing should not be over-emphasized.

Objective To reproduce a scratch-wound model in cultured rat astrocytes (AST).Methods The secondary cultured AST prepared from newborn Wistar rat cerebral cortex were scratched with plastic pipette tips. The morphologic change of AST was observed through microscope at 10 min before and 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after injury, meanwhile the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakages in the cultured medium were determined.Results Immediately after injury the edge of the scratch was lined with irregularly shaped cell. 6 h after injury the AST processes began extending to cell-free area, and elongated further at 12 and 24 h after injury, with presented of new generated cells in the denuded area. At different times after injury, the LDH leakages of the experiment group were higher than that before injury ( P<0.05), and were higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05).Conclusion According to observed AST morphologic changes and determined LDH leakages in culture medium, the scratch-wound model in cultured rat AST is successfully reproduced.

BACKGROUND:The treatment of pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital heart disease has been a hot topic in the clinical research on cardiac surgery. Although traditional drugs for reducing pulmonary hypertension have excelent effects, there are some defaults, such as difficult monitoring and rebounding phenomenon after drug withdrawal. The traditional heart dacron graft is prone to cause complications, such as deformation, thrombosis, embolism, hemolysis and infection. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium patch and aerosolized iloprost in patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital heart disease. METHODS:Ninety patients with pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease underwent a surgery. Glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium patch were used to repair cardiac septal defect, and then aerosolized iloprost was applied after operation, administered for 3 days according to 30 ng/min/kg, every 4 hours in the first 12 hours of a day, and every 6 hours in the resting 12 hours. Mean arterial pressure, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, systemic vascular resistance index, pulmonary vascular resistance index were recorded before inhalation, immediately after inhalation, and 30 minutes after inhalation. The pericardium-associated complications, and cardiac function were also observed at folow-ups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The involved 90 cases were detected by echocardiography. The results showed that, al the flaps were closed, there was no shunting or echo discontinuation of atrial septum. The heart contraction function was normal. No pericardium-associated complications were found. There was no significant difference in the mean arterial pressure and systemic vascular resistance index in al patients at different time points. The mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance index immediately after inhalation were significantly lower than that before inhalation (P < 0.01). The decrease was also significant 30 minutes after inhalation (P < 0.05). The intervention of glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium patch and aerosolized iloprost is safe and effective to treat patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to congenital heart disease.

Objective To analyze the relationship between age and the prognosis of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs).Methods The clinical data of 102 patients with pNETs who were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 1999 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.The properties of the tumors were determined by morphology and immunohistochemical staining of chromogranin A,synaptophysin and neuron-specific enolase.Preoperative grading of the tumors was done by mitotic count and Ki67 proliferation index,and the staging of the tumors was done by ENETS TNM system.All patients were divided into younger group (age≤60 years,77 patients) and older group (age ＞ 60 years,25 patients).The survival of the patients was estimated using the life table,and the survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method.The survival of the 2 groups was compared using the Log-rank test.Multivariate analysis was performed with the COX proportional hazards model.Results The median survival time was 139.8 months.The overall 1-,2-,5-,and 10-year survival rates were 96％,93％,90％ and 80％,respectively.The postoperative survival time of patients in the younger group was significantly longer than that in the older group (x2 =4.717,P ＜ 0.05 ).The prognosis of patients with higher tumor grades ( G2,G3) and higher TNM stages ( Ⅲ,Ⅳ ) in the older group was significantly poorer than those in the younger group ( x2 =11.158,5.375,P ＜ 0.05 ).The results of multivariate analysis showed that age and major vascular invasion were the independent predictors for survival (RR =8.626,12.795,P ＜0.05 ).Conclusions Age above 60 years is an important independent factor influencing the prognosis of pNETs patients.Tumor grading and TNM staging are highly correlated with the prognosis of the pNETs patients.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features,treatment method and prognostic factors of the gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (gNENs).Methods The clinical data of 80 patients with gNENs who were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from January 2002 to December 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients received gastroscopic examination.Patients with well-differentiated and diameter ≤ 2 cm gNENs received endoscopic mucosal resection or endoscopic submucosal dissection.Patients with poordifferentiated and diameter ＞ 2cm tumors received surgical resection of gNENs.Patients were followed up via phone call,mail or out-patient examination till October 31,2013.The Kaplan-Meier method was used for drawing the survival curve and calculating the survival rate.The univariate analysis was done by Log-rank test and the multivariate analysis was done by COX proportional hazards model.Results Fifty-eight patients had pain and discomfort in the epigastric region.Thirty-two gNENs were located at the cardia,40 at the body and 8 at the pylorus.Fortyfour gNENs were ulcerative type,25 were polypoid type,11 were protruded type.The mean diameter of the gNENs was 2.6 cm (range,0.4-7.5 cm).Twenty-seven gNENs were in grade 1,10 in grade 2 and 43 in grade 3.Forty-five gNENs were localized,34 gNENs had lymph node involvement (2 gNENs had distal metastasis),and 1 gNENs had distal metastasis.Thirty-one patients received endoscopic resection,and did not receive adjuvant therapy.Forty-nine patients (6 with gastric neuroendocrine tumor and 43 with gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma)received radical resection,including proximal subtotal gastrectomy in 16 patients,distal subtotal gastrectomy in 15 patients,total gastrectomy in 15 patients and distal subtotal gastrectomy + resection of the liver metastasis in 3 patients.Thirty-four patients received adjuvant chemotherapy and 15 did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy.Seventy-nine patients were followed up for a median time of 42.0 months (range,2.0-113.0 months).The mean time of survival was 75.6 months(range,2.8-100.8 months),and the 1-,3-,5-year overall survival rates were 91.3％,75.8％ and 66.5％,respectively.The 5-year survival rates of patients with gNENs in grade 1,grade 2 and grade 3 were 100.0％,100.0％ and 38.0％,respectively.The results of univariate analysis showed that the gender,treatment methods,adjuvant chemotherapy,types of tumor,tumor diameter,classification and staging of the tumor were correlated with the prognosis of the patients (x2=9.550,17.488,25.038,14.994,6.897,25.234,22.066,P ＜ 0.05).The results of multivariate analysis showed that the gender was the independent risk factor influencing the prognosis of the patients (RR =11.280,95％ confidence interval:5.353-19.121,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The clinical presentations of gNENs are often nonspecific.The main presentation of gNENs is pain in the epigastric region of the abdomen,and most of the gNENs are located at the cardia or body of the stomach.The staging and grading of the gNENs are varied,and the prognosis is related with the gender of the patients.Endoscopic or surigcal resection is the main treatment method for gNENs.Female patients have a better prognosis than male patients.
