Objective: To study the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) on human pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and apoptosis (mainly early stage) in vitro. Methods: SW1990 cells line were trea ted with As2O3 at different concentration. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT and apoptosis by Annexin-Ⅴ-fluostaining, electron-microscopy, flow cytometry and immunocytochemical staining of Bcl-2 and Bax. Results: As2O3 and cisplatin had the same cytotoxity on SW1990. The cytotoxic effe ct on tumor cell was produced by induction of apoptosis. Twelve hours after cult ure with 10 μg/ml As2O3, much more SW1990 cells went into apoptosis than t he control. The apoptosis rate reached 24% after 48 h with the similar concentra tion of As2O3. Immunohistochemical study revealed that the expression of Bcl -2 was decreased after treated with As2O3. Conclusion: As 2O3 can depress the proliferation of SW1990 in vitro, mainly through the i nduction of apoptosis, and it is a potential agent for pancreatic cancer chemoth erapy.

Objective To investigate effects of volume,distribution and leakage of bone cement in ver- tebroplasty on the adjacent intervertebral bodies using an experimentally calibrated and anatomically accurate fi- nite-element model of elderly L4-L5 vertebral bodies.Methods Computed tomography(CT)scanning was done,at 1 mm intervals,on L4-L5 vertebral bodies of the lumbar spine of an old man cadaver that had no abnormal findings on rnentgenograms.The L4-L5 motion segment data were obtained from the CT scans to establish in computer a three-dimensional finite element model of L4-L5 functional spinal unit(FSU)with the software Ansys 7.0.Compressive load after virtual vertebroplasty on the damaged model,unipedicular and bipedieolar injections and leakage of cement into the intervertebral space,and the resulting endplate and disc stresses of the adjacent vertebral bodies were analyzed in various spatial distributions of the filling material and different loading conditions. An anatomically accurate finite-element model of elderly L4-L5 vertebral bodies was developed.Results The FSU study suggested that changes in stress and strain at adjacent levels were minimal.Furthermore,endplale and disc stresses of the adjacent vertebral bodies were not influenced by bone cement filling volumes or distributions except under bending,whereas asymmetric distribution and leakage of bone cement to the disk increased the stress of adjacent endplates.Conclusion Since asymmetric distribution and significant leakage of cement into the intervertebral space can increase the stresses of endplates of adjacent vertebral bodies and may lead to a fracture, symmetric placement of cement in operation should be achieved and leakage of cement avoided.

Objective To provide a clinical anatomic basis for the bi-pedicled gastrocnemius myocuta- neous flap which is to be used to repair defects of the Achilles tendon and posterior skin of the ankle.Methods In anatomic study,out of 30 cadaver specimens,bi-pedicled V-Y gastrocnemius myoeutaneous flaps were harvested to measure the downward sliding lengths of the flap when the knee was at flexion of different degrees.In clinic,12 patients with the Achilles tendon and posterior ankle skin defects were repaired with the bi-pedicled gastrocnemius myocutaneous flaps.The areas of composite defects ranged from 10 cm?6 cm to 6 cm?4 cm.They were followed up for four months to 12 years.Results The maximal sliding length of the flap reached (9.2?0.9)cm when the knee was at flexion of 90?.All the clinical flaps survived and ambulation of the patients recovered.The dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the ankles reached 11.0??1.4?and 35.0??4.6?respectively.Conclusion This flap is suitable for one-stage repair of composite Achilles tendon defects.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic uterine artery blockage for the treatment of adenomyosis. Methods Laparoscopic uterine artery blockage was performed in 38 patients with adenomyosis. Enucleation and excision or vaporization of endometriosis were performed at the same time in patients with chocolate cyst of ovary and endometriosis. Lysis of adhesion and presacral neurectomy were performed in some patients. Symptoms and uterine volumes of all patients were investigated after the treatment. Results Relieved clinical symptoms were found in all 38 patients. Menorrhagia was reduced to (56?16)%. Complete disappearance of dysmenorrhea was found in 17 patients (44.7%), significantly alleviated in 14 patients (36.8%), partially alleviated in 6 patients (15.8%), but ineffectiveness in 1 patient (2.6%). Pain score and classification were decreased significantly (P

AIM:Researches have shown that musculocutaneous flap or fascial flap could well treat refractory bedsore in a long term. This study observed the clinical experience in the treatment of sacrococcygeal ulcers. METHODS:From January 2000 to January 2006,19 patients with sacrococcygeal ulcers,who received myocutaneous flap transposition in Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery,West China Hospital of Sichuan University,were selected. The informed consent was obtained from all patients. The surgery included two stages. At the first stage,debridement and eschar excision were performed. At the second stage,the surgery was undergone after selecting the myocutaneous flap type according to the patients' age,ulcer position,and ulcer extent. Twenty-one wounds were repaired by gluteus maximus myocutaneous flaps,and the flap size was 13 cm ?11 cm-17 cm?14 cm;8 by long-head of biceps femoris flaps of 10 cm?6 cm-13 cm?6 cm. After operation,the patients were placed on turn-over bed for 14 days and followed regularly. RESULTS:All flaps survived and the wounds in 18 cases healed at the first stage. Hematocele underlying flap occurred in one patient with urinemia,and healed by dressing exchange. After a follow-up of 5 months to 3 years,no patient had a recurrence;the color and texture of the flaps were good,and he appearance was satisfactory. CONCLUSION:The technique of two period operation treatment of myocutaneous flap transposition can accelerate the healing of sacrococcygeal ulcers and improves the success rate of operation.
