So far, there is no effective treatment for most of patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Many studies have shown that gene therapy has become more promising in terms of protecting the inner ear from these diseases. In recent years, inner ear gene therapy has become a research focus in the field of otology. It has not yet appeared a feasible technique for inner ear gene therapy in clinical application due to the particularity of the structure and function of inner ear. On the other hand, in order to avoid the adverse effects of carcinogenic and immunity caused by viral vectors, many scholars devote themselves to develop new gene vectors based on non-viral materials, such as liposomes, polymers and other nanomaterials. In recent years, many great progresses have been made in development and application of non-viral vectors, which showing an inspiring prospect. The research status, progress and prospects of non-viral vectors in inner ear gene therapy will be discussed in this review.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of treatment for chronic pancreatitis and mass in the head of the pancreas.Methods The clinical data of 19 patients with chronic pancreatitis with mass in the head of the pancreas who were admitted to the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University from May 2008 to May 2013 were retrospectively analyzed,including 2 patients with gallstone.Methods of treatment were selected by in traoperative pathological results.All the patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till January 2014.Results The operations of the 19 patients were successfully done,including 11 with pancreaticoduodenectomy,5 with exploratory laparotomy and 3 with the laparoscopic cholecystectomy and choledochojejunostomy.The operation time and intraoperative blood loss were (249± 140)minutes (50-390 minutes) and (320 ± 260)mL (50-900 mL).The postoperative mean time of recovery of gastrointestinal function and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 3.0 days (2.0-6.0 days) and 22.6 days (8.0-30.0 days) after the operation.The mean casein-IgG4 of 12 patients was higher (2.64 g/L) after operation.Five patients with operation-related complication were cured after symptomatic treatment,among 2 patients with leakage of the pancreatic fluid,2 with operative incision fat necrosis and liquefaction and 1 with bile leakage.No patients died perioperatively.Nineteen patients were followed up for 11.0 months to 36.0 months with the median time of 28.2 months.The pancreatic head mass of 8 patients with non-pancreaticoduodenectomy were reduced or disappeared by a computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rescan,who were treated by the oral prednisone.No complications were detected in the other 11 patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.Conclusion Method of surgery or medicine treatment for atypical mass in the head of the pancreas is selected according to the pathology results by effective communication with patients and family members,exploratory laparotomy and interpretative aspiration biopsy.

Objective To investigate the changing of endothelial progenitor cells and nitric oxide in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Method Mononuclear cells from 20 healthy persons (the control group, n = 20) , COPD patients without PAH (COPD non-PAH group, n =30) and patients with PAH secondary to COPD (COPD and PAH group, n=30) were investigated. Total mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPC number and migration were assayed by colony forming unit-EPCs (CFU-EPCs) assay and modified Boyden chamber assay , respectively. EPC adhesion assay was performed by replanting those on fibronectin-coated dishes , then adherent cells were counted. The concentration of NO was measured with method of nitrate reductase.Result The numbers of CFU and migration, adhesion activity of circulating EPCs in COPD[ (21.9±3. 9)CFU-EPC] and PAH group[ (14. 2 ±3. 5)CFU-EPC] were significantly lower than that in non-COPD group and COPD non-PAH group [ ( 24.9 ±4.1) CFU-EPC ]. It was also observed that a strong negative correlation between the levels of PAH and the numbers of CFU and adhesion, migration activity of circulating EPCs. The NO level in the PAH group [ (43. 6 ±4. 8)ng/ml] was significantly lower than that in control group [ ( 67. 17±4.9 ) ng/ml ] ( P < 0.01). The NO level was positively correlated with number and migration ability of EPCs( r =0. 77,0.71, P <0.01) , but not correlated with adhesion ability.Conclusion The number of CFU and migratory, adhesive activity of EPC in patients withPAH secondary to COPD was significantly decreased. These changes may be associated with low level of plasma NO.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical features and factors inlfuencing the prognosis of childhood non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).MethodsPathologically diagnosed 78 pediatric patients with NHL and treated in the Afifliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2004 to August 2013 were collected and analyzed. Patients were grouped according to age, sex, tumor size, immunologic classiifcation, B-symptoms, LDH, hemoglobin and clinical staging. The 5-years event-free survival rate (EFS) were calculated and analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference of the survival rate between groups were com-pared. Using Cox proportional hazards model, we analyzed the possible factors that might inlfuence 5-years event-free survival rate EFS , such as age and clinical staging. TheOR value and the 95%CI were calculated.ResultsAmong the 78 cases, median age of onset is 7 years old, male to female ratio is 2.90:1, there are 25 cases of T-cell type and 53 cases of B-cell type. According to pathological types,Burkitt lymphoma is the most common (34.6%), followed by T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (20.5%), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (11.5%). According to the St. Jude malignant lymphoma staging system, there are 2 cases in stage I, 9 in stageⅡ, 35 in stageⅢ and 32 in stageⅣ. Swelling of periphery lymph node (80.7%) was observed as initial symptom in 26 cases of lymphoblastic lymphoma. Among 45 cases of mature B-cell tumor, the main clinical feature including abdominal cavity and gingival were observed in 27 cases of Burkitt lymphoma. Among the 73 cases received treatments, 66 cases (90.5%) attained CR (complete remission) and 4 cases (5.5%) attained PR (partial remission) by cytology and radiographic assessment after two course of combined chemotherapy, 2 cases (2.7%) rapidly relapsed after the remisson of one course treatment, 1 case (1.3%) appeared the central nervous system inifltration in the chemotherapy. With median follow-up time of 42 months, the 5-year EFS of the 73 cases was (67.0+5.5)%. Single factor analysis showed that B-symptom, LDH, and clinical staging were signiifcantly correlated with prognosis (P<0.05), while age, sex, tumor size, hemoglobin and immune classiifcation was independent of prog-nosis (P>0.05). Multiple factor analysis showed that LDH and clinical staging inlfuenced the prognosis (OR=3.34,95%CI 2.275?10.683,P<0.01;OR=4.354,95%CI 1.519?12.475,P<0.01) .Conclusionclinical features of childhood NHL are variable. LDH and clinical staging at primary diagnosis are important factors affecting the prognosis.

BACKGROUND:Once lumbar degenerative diseases merge with lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar instability and degenerative scoliosis, surgical therapy is required for corresponding clinical symptoms, and the usage of internal fixators cannot be inevitable. Osteoporosis is rather common in the elderly. Therefore, how to implant stable pedicle screw fixation system in serious osteoporosis patients wil be a big difficulty. In recent years, some studies have proven the biomechanical stability of polymethylmethacrylate augmentation of a cannulated and fenestrated pedicle screw in the vertebral body, so it becomes very hot in the spine surgery. OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical efficacy of the use of polymethylmethacrylate augmentation of a cannulated and fenestrated pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease accompanied with osteoporosis. METHODS:Thirty-one patients with lumbar degenerative disease accompanied with osteoporosis from Jun 2008 to Jan 2013 were selected, including 11 males and 20 females with an average age of 73.5 years (range, 65-86 years). There were 14 cases of lumbar degenerative stenosis, 9 of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation combined with segmental instability, 6 of lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis, and 2 of lumbar degenerative scoliosis. The patients were treated with lumbar canal decompression, fusion and polymethylmethacrylate augmentation of a cannulated and fenestrated pedicle screw fixation according to their clinical features and imaging data. Visual analog scale for pain evaluation was used before and after fixation, the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scale was used for assessment of neurological function and life skils before internal fixation and during folow-up. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al cases were folowed up for 40 months (range, 36-48months). No screw breakage, rod breakage, screw extraction, loosening, pseudoarticulation formation, or incision infection was found. The postoperative visual analog scale score and the JOA score was remarkably improved (P < 0.05). For patients suffering from lumbar degenerative disease accompanied with osteoporosis, polymethylmethacrylate augmentation of a cannulated and fenestrated pedicle screw fixation is helpful for increasing the stabilization of screw and preventing from loosening and dislocation of the screws, and thereby beneficial for improvement and maintenance of clinical efficacy.
