Journal of Regional Anatomy and Operative Surgery 2016;25(6):401-404,405
Objective To compare the short-term clinical effect of K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and lumbar fusion for multi-ple segmental lumbar degeneration.Methods Between January 2010 and October 2012,56 patients with segmental lumbar degeneration who were accepted K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and posterior lumbar interbody fusion were retrospectively reviewed.The 56 patients were divided into K-Rod and fusion group,28 patients with K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and 28 cases with traditional lumbar fusion and internal fixation.Clinical assessments were based on comparion of Oswestry disability index score ,visual analogous scale (VAS),im-provement rate of low back pain,postoperative lumbar spine X-ray,average operation time and intraoperative blood loss of two groups.Results All of 56 cases were followed up for 12 to 24 months,the difference of Oswestry disability index score and VAS between two groups were not statistically significant(P >0.05),but the difference of average operation time,blood loss and the average length of stay(ALOS)were statis-tically significant(P <0.05),the K-Rod group was superior to the fusion group.Conclusion In the treatment of multiple segmental lumbar degeneration both K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system and traditional lumbar fusion can obtain satisfactory short-term clinical effect,but the K-Rod pedicle dynamic fixation system has advantages of less intraoperative blood loss,shorter operation time,postoperative small effects on lumbar spine mobility.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) in pediatric nephroblastoma and pericancerous tissues, and explore the relationship between RGS4 and the occurrence and development of pediatric nephroblastoma. Methods Thirty-seven samples of pediatric nephroblastoma tissues and 8 samples of pericancerous tissues were collected after surgery to detect the expression of RGS4 protein by immunohistochemistry. Another 8 samples of fresh cancer tissues and corresponding pericancerous tissues were collected to detect the mRNA and protein levels of RGS4 by qRT-PCR and Western blot assay, respectively. Results Immunohistochemistry results showed that RGS4 protein was positively expressed both in pediatric nephroblastoma and pericancerous tissues, and its high expression rate was lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that in pericancerous tissues [(37.83%(14/37) vs. 87.5%(7/8),χ2=4.675, P<0.05]. The expression level of RGS4 mRNA was significantly lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that in pericancerous tissues (1.064 ± 0.549 vs. 5.374 ± 0.735, t=13.290, n=8, P < 0.01). Western blot results showed that the expression level of RGS4 protein was lower in pediatric nephroblastoma than that of pericancerous tissues (0.301±0.092 vs. 0.779 ± 0.041, t=13.424, n=8, P < 0.01). Conclusion The expression level of RGS4 is down-regulated in pediatric nephroblastoma, which may be related to the occurrence and development of pediatric nephroblastoma.

Objective: To explore the prevalence and co-morbidity in depression disorder among children and adolescents in Chengdu City. Methods: Using a one-phase design, 4S8S children and adolescents in grades 1~10 were assessed with the Strength and Difficulty questionnaire (SDQ) and Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA) . A structured interview with verbatim reports was reviewed by clinicians so that information from parents, teachers, and children were combined in a manner that emulated the clinical process. Results: (1) The rate of depressive disorder was 1.2% , and that in girls was much higher than that in boys after 12 years old (2.56% vs. 1.42%) . (2) The rate of depressive disorder increased with age from 0.10% (6~8 years) to 2.59% (≥ 15 years) . (3) The co-morbidity was 40% . The most common comorbidity diagnosis was anxiety disorders (29.1%) and behavior disorders (25.5%) . Conclusion: The prevalence of depressive disorder among children and adolescents in Chengdu is 1.2%. Gender and age may be the related factors. The co-morbidity is common in children and adolescents with depression disorder.

A method was developed for purification of 20S proteasome (20S core particle, CP) by combining differential centrifugations with nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (native-PAGE), irrespective of species origins of CPs. CP purified from human erythrocytes was subjected to proteomic analysis by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), revealing 33 spots of subunit isoforms with different molecular weights and isoelectric points, more than 14 constituent subunits. Furthermore, other four CPs were purified from yeast, mouse liver, two pancreatic cancer cell lines SW1990 and PANC-1 using this method mentioned above, and subjected to proteasome heterogeneity analysis by native/SDS-PAGE (native/sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), together with CP from erythrocytes. The method described acts as a rapid and effective tool for CP isolations, and the results obtained may be served as a footstone for the investigations of species-dependent proteasome heterogeneity.

Objective To assess the feasibility, safety and curative effect of permanent implantation of ~(125)I seeds combined with GP scheme chemotherapy for the treatment of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) in aged patients. Methods CT-guided permanent implantation of ~(125)I seeds combined with GP scheme chemotherapy was performed in 46 patients with NSCLC, of whom 26 received primary treatment and 20 underwent renewed treatment. During the procedure, ~(125)I seeds were embedded into the tumor in all the patients. Three to five days after the implantation, GP scheme chemotherapy started. GEM (1 000 mg/m~2) was given (intravenously dripping for 30 min.) on the 1st, 8th and 15th day; DDP (30 mg/m~2) was employed on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day, and recombinant human endostatin (Endostar, 7.5 mg/m~2) was administered (intravenously dripping for 3-4 hours) from the 1st to the 14th day. Every 28 days completed one treatment course. Two months after ~(125)I seed implantation, at this time the patient had received two courses of treatment, the short-term effect and the toxic side-effect were evaluated. Results Two months after the ~(125)I particles were embedded in the tumor, all the 46 cases were able to be evaluate for the curative effect. Of 46 patients, complete relief (CR) was seen in 12, partial relief (PR) in 24, stable (SD) in 6 and progression (PD) in 4, with an effective rate of 78.26%. Of 26 patients in the primary treatment group, CR was obtained in 7, PR in 15, SD in 3 and PD in 1, with an effective rate of 84.6%. Of 20 patients in the renewed treatment group, CR was seen in 5, PR in 9, SD in 3 and PD in 3, with an effective rate of 70.0%. Conclusion Permanent implantation of ~(125)I seeds combined with GP scheme chemotherapy is an effective, safe and feasible treatment for NSCLC in aged patients.
