OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between power Doppler vascularity index (PDVI) and microvessel density (MVD) and evaluate the angiogenesis in high-grade gliomas and the adjacent edema in patients with glioma using intraoperative power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) during gross total resection.

METHODSIn 25 cases of high-grade gliomas undergoing gross total tumor resections, PDUS was performed intraoperatively and the regions of interest within the tumor and the adjacent edema were analyzed with Photoshop software to measure the tumoral and peritumoral blood flow quantified as PDVI. The tumoral and adjacent MVD were determined using immunohistochemical staining for CD34. The correlation between PDVI in the gliomas and the adjacent edema and MVD in the corresponding areas were analyzed using Spearman correlation test.

RESULTSThe measurement of both PVDI and MVD revealed significant difference in vascularity between the gliomas and the adjacent edema (t=0.000, P<0.01), and PDVI was positively correlated to MVD measurement (r=0.7248 in the tumors and r=0.6608 in the adjacent edema).

CONCLUSIONSThe difference in the vascularity between the tumor and adjacent edema allows their distinction by PDUS during operation for high-grade glioma. Intraoperative PDUS provides an accurate and reliable means for measuring vascularity in the glioma and the adjacent edema tissue.

OBJECTIVETo study the activation of platelets in children with Kawasaki disease (KD) at molecular level.

METHODSThe expression of platelet surface glycoproteins CD(41), CD(42a), CD(61), CD(62p) and CD(63) in 20 KD patients was measured by flow cytometry before and at 1, 2, 3 week after treatment with aspirin and high-dose (1 approximately 2 g/kg) intravenous gamma-globulin (IVIG).

RESULTSThe expression of glycoprotein CD(41), CD(42a), CD(61), CD(62p) and CD(63) were higher in KD group than in control group. Aspirin and IVIG could not inhibit these high expression of glycoproteins. Higher expression of CD(62p) was observed in patients with coronary artery injury.

CONCLUSIONPlatelets were highly activated in KD patients which may be one of the most important pathophysiological step in KD. It provided a theoretical basis for treatment of KD with antagonist of glycoprotein of platelets. Obviously increase of CD(62p) can be taken as a criterion for predicting coronary artery injury in KD patients.

Objective Studies on cardia-cancer caused by hereditary factors. Methods Case-control method was adopted,with information including name,sex,date of birth,date of death of all the Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ relatives of the patients,diagnosis and the treatment collected. The hereditary probability of cardia cancer and the separation degree were calculated by Falconer and Li-Mentel-Gart. Results (1) Prevalence rates of cardia-cancer on relative Ⅰ,relative Ⅱ,relative Ⅲ of cardia-cancer patients appeared to be 0.54%,0.04%,and 0.05% respectively. Prevalence rates of upper-digestive-tract-cancer of relative Ⅰ,relative Ⅱ,relative Ⅲ of cardia-cancer patients showed as: 2.50%,0.36% and 0.13% respectively. Data showed that relative Ⅰ> relative Ⅱ> relative Ⅲ and family cluster existed in both males and females. (2) Cardia-cancer hereditary probability of the relative Ⅰ cardia-cancer probands was 11.71%,with males as 14.01% and females as 14.72%. The upper-digestive-tract-cancer hereditary probability of the relative Ⅰ cardia-cancer probands was 13.87%,with males as 11.49% and females as 23.08%,both below 25%,indicating this was a low hereditary cancer. (3) The upper-digestive-tract-cancer separation of the blood compatriots of cardia-cancer patients was 0.0452,with males as 0.0441 and females as 0.0507,both below 0.25,indicating the nature of a multi-gene but not single-gene hereditary way. Conclusion Hereditary factor is recognized as one of the high risk cardia cancer,but not the most risky factor causing the high morbidity of cardia cancer in Shanxi province.
