Multiple myeloma (MM) is a unique cancer paradigm for investigating the mechanisms involved in the transformation from a premalignant condition (unknown monoclonal gamma globulin,MGUS) into a malignant disease (MM).In its pathogenesis,genotype characteristics of tumor clones which are highly complex and heterogeneous,as well as the dialogue between plasma cells and their microenvironment are equally important and both play a key role in the outcome of the disease.MM will soon no longer be considered as a single disease.A large number of new drug emergence and applications will increase the need for monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) in prognosis and treatment of MM.New drugs and high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation applications have been significantly improving the prognosis of MM in the past 20 years.Re-examining the early MM diagnostic criteria and the possibility of early intervention will open up a new therapeutic approach.It is important to find a balance of efficacy,toxicity and cost in order to achieve a cure for this disease.

As understanding the biology of multiple myeloma (MM) and application of new drugs, regimens containing new drugs deepened therapeutic response and prolonged the survival of MM patients. This article updates the therapeutic response of regimens reported in the 57th American Society of Hematology annual meeting, containing immunomodulatory agents, proteasome inhibitors, histone deacetylase inhibitors and other new drugs including monoclonal antibodies and the others. In the same time, minimal residual disease (MRD) is also used to evaluate the remission depth of MM. In order to achieve durable long-term remission and higher quality of life, new drug combination regimens have been recommended, especially for the relapsed or the high risk MM patients.

Objective To study the validity,reliability and sensitivity of the simplified Chinese version of modified Barthel index (MBI) in evaluation of activities of daily living(ADL) of Chinese stroke patients. Methods Forty Chinese stroke patients (26 males and 14 females,aged 59.65±11.68 years) participated in the study.The duration of the disease averaged 21.20±19.44 days.All the patients were evaluated for three times with MBI.Barthel Index (BI) and the motor component of Functional Independence Measure (M-FIM)independently by twophysiatrists.Spearman correlation coefficients between MBI and Barthel index (BI),between MBI and M-FIM were used to test the validity of MBI.Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to test both interrater and intra rater reliability of MBI.Sensitivity of MBl was analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed rank test and paired t-test.Results MBI was highly correlated with BI in each item and total score(r=0.816～1.000,P<0.01),and with M-FIM in total score(r=0.935～0.981,P<0.01).There were high reliability with MBI in the results collected by same assessor and different assessors(ICC=0.866～0.997).Furthermore,MBI was more sensitive than BI in majorities of its items and its total scores as well.Conclusions MBI has good validity and reliability as well as sensitivity in assessment of ADL of Chinese stroke patients.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of continuous noninvasive partial pressure of carbon dioxide monitoring in the old diabetic patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods Sixty-six old diabetic patients of both sexes,aged 65-76 yr,weighing 49-95 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia,were included in this study.Transcutaneous partial pressure of carbon dioxide (TcPCO2) was monitored by a noninvasive transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitor.Arterial blood samples were collected at 30 and 60 min after endotracheal intubation,partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) was monitored,and TcPCO2 and end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide (PET CO2) were recorded.Bland-Altman analysis was used to measure the agreement.Results At 30 min after intubation,the results of Bland-Altman analysis showed that the mean difference between PaCO2 and TcPCO2 was 1.3,95％ confidence interval (CI) was 1.0-1.6,and the limit of agreement was-1.1-3.7;the mean difference between PaCO2 and PETCO2 was -3.2,95％CI:-3.6--2.8,and the limit of agreement was-6.6-0.2.At 60 min after intubation,the results of Bland-Altman analysis showed that the mean difference between PaCO2 and TcPCO2 was 1.4,95％ CI was 1.1-1.7,and the limit of agreement was-1.0-3.4;the mean difference between PaCO2 and PETCO2 was-3.1,95％CI was-3.5--2.7,and the limit of agreement was-6.7-0.5.The repeatability coefficients of PaCO2,TcPCO2 and PETCO2 were 2.1,2.3 and 2.3,respectively,at 30 and 60 min after intubation.Conclusion Continuous noninvasive partial pressure of carbon dioxide monitoring provides good accuracy and can be used as an alternative to PaCO2 monitoring,and the accuracy is higher than that of PETCO2 for the old diabetic patients undergoing general anesthesia.

BACKGROUND: Suture silk or steel ring, Kirschner wire tension wire, modified AO band and screw are always used to treat patellar fractures. These methods cause large wound, slow fracture healing and limited joint function. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the therapeutic effect of Ti-Ni shape memory alloy clamp on patellar fractures. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Retrospective analysis was performed at the Luoyang Hospital of Orthopedics and Traumatics from June 2001 to June 2006. PARTICIPANTS: 121 patients of patellar fractures (123 knees), 78 males (80 knees) and 43 females (43 knees), aged 38.3 years (range 21–67 years). There were 47 cases with left patellar fracture, 72 cases with right and 2 with bilateral; 53 knees were transverse,36 knees were comminuted, 32 avulsion, and 2 vertical fracture; 23 cases were injured by direct violence, and 98 by indirect violence. METHODS: Vertical incisions were made to expose fractures. The deep layer of the tendinous membrane was remained. The fracture was repositioned and the lacerated retinaculum and tendinous membrane were sutured. After the vertical diameter of the patella was measured, suitable clamp was selected and placed. After well repositioned, heat saline gauze was used to make the clamp reposition and fix the fractures. The incision was finally closed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Material and host responses; functional assessment of the patella fractures using Bostman. RESULTS: 121 cases were followed-up for 8 months8. All fractures were healed. No infection occurred. A little displacement of fractures occurred in 4 cases, early traumatic arthritis in 1 case, and slippage of the clamps in 2 cases. According to the functional assessment of the patella fractures of Bostman, the excellent results were 107 knees, and good were 16 knees. CONCLUSION: Ti-Ni shape memory alloy clamps exhibit reliable fixation, with soft tissue remaining, which is important to retain the blood supply of the patella. Moreover, it accelerates the healing of fractures.

Objective: To study validity and reliability of Wolf motor function test (WMFT) on assessing the upper extremities motor function of acute stroke patients so as to guide clinical application. Method: Twenty-three stroke patients in acute stage participated in the study. Patients were assessed twice with WMFT and the upper extremities motor function test of Fugl-Meyer movement assessment (U-FMA) within one week. The correlation between the assessment results of WMFT and U-FMA were analyzed to study the validity and reliability of WMFT. Result: WMFT was highly correlated with U-FMA in total scores (r =0.922, 0.929, P＜0.001). There were high correlation in all items of WMFT between two assessment sessions. The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were 0.989, 0.997 for intrarater and 0.980, 0.991 for interrater. Conclusion: The WMFT is valid and reliable on assessing upper extremities motor function of stroke patients in acute stage.

OBJECTIVE: To achieve targeted and meticulous surgery of adenoid hypertrophy, a comprehensive analysis of adenoid hypertrophy space occupying effect and morphological evaluation were conducted and the clinical results were retrospectively analyzed. METHOD: One hundred and sixty-three children with adenoid hypertrophy were treated in our department from May 2013 to May 2014. All children received three examinations preoperatively, including: Nasopharyngo-fiberoscopy, Audiometry and Tympanometry. Based on the results, space occupying effect of adenoid hypertrophy was divided into three types: vertical hypertrophy type, horizontal hypertrophy type and vertical & horizontal hypertrophy type. We assumed the causal relationship with vertical hypertrophy type to snoring (nasal blockage) and horizontal hypertrophy type to secretory otitis media respectively. All children received transoral endoscopic adenoidectomy with radiofrequency ablation. RESULT: The postoperative followup of these children for 6 to 12 months showed that the vertical hypertrophy type and horizontal hypertrophy type children all recovered from the syndromes of snoring (nasal blockage) and secretory otitis media respectively. The nasopharyngo-fiberoscopy showed that the nasopharyngeal space was smooth and the bilateral choanas opened well. No recurrence was found. CONCLUSION The philosophy of comprehensive analysis on adenoid hypertrophy space occupying effect could help the surgeons understand adenoid hypertrophy better and can guide the adenoidectomy more meticulously.
