Objective To study the relationship between the MRI features and pathological types of intracranial meningiomas. Methods MRI findings of intracranial meningiomas in 63 cases proved by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of 63 cases,62 cases were singular and one case was multiple lesions. The lesions were located in frontal,parietal and occipital regions nearby the convexity of the brain in 30 cases,in sellar region in 10,at sphenoidal crest in 8 , at olfactory sulcus in 5 and at other regions in 10. Isointense or slightly hypointense signal on T 1WI was found in 87.27% cases of meningiomas . On T 2WI, tumors had isointense or slightly hyperintense signal in 69.84%, obviously hyperintense signal in 19.05%,heterogenous texture signal in 7.94% and slightly low intense signal in 3.17%. Pathological type was included meningiomas meningothelial(n=29), meningiomas fibrous(n=11) , meningiomas psammomatous(n=8),angioblastic meningiomas (n=5) and meningiomas angiomatous(n=10). Conclusion It is great value in diagnosis of meningiomas with MRI. Meningiomas angiomatous show effecting of blood-vessel flowed empty with MR imaging.

Objective To explore the biological effects of estrogen (17β-E2) on the proliferation and migration of human skin fibroblast (HSFB).Methods HSFBs were isolated and cultured by enzyme digestion.The fourth generation of HSFBs were adopted; (1) the proliferating effect of diverse concentrations of 17β-E2 and 17β-E2+ ICI-182780 on HSFBs was determined with MTT method at 24,48,72,96 h; (2) the influence of 17β-E2 and ICI-182780 to HSFBs cycle distribution were determined with flow cytometry; (3) the migration effect of diverse concentrations of 17β-E2 and 17β-E2+ICI-182780 on HSFBs was determined at 24,48,and 72 hours after the creation of the scratch-wound in vitro.Results (1) The proliferating speed of HSFBs in 10-10mol/L 17β-E2 group (group A)was the highest of all at 48,72,96 h,which was higher than that in ICI-182780+10-10mol/L 17β-E2 group (group B) and control group (group C) (P＜0.01) ;(2) the HSFBs during the S phase in group A was more than that in groups B and C (P＜0.01),while the HSFBs during the G0/G1 phase was less than that in groups B and C (P＜0.01); (3) the migrating effect of HSFBs in 10-8mol/L 17β-E2 group (group D) was the highest of all at 48 h,which was higher than that in ICI-182780+10-10mol/L control group (group E)and control group (group F) (P＜0.01).Conclusions The concentration of 10-10mol/L estrogen has the strongest effect of promoting proliferation and that of 10-8mol/L has the strongest chemotaxis; ICI-182780 can abate the above effect effectively.

A mutant strain RZ13 with high lipase productivity was obtained through treating the Rhizopus sp. RXF12 by UV and microwave,and its activity was 2.62-fold of the original one. The high lipase productivity of the mutant strain could be inherited after repetitious subcultures.The optimal culture conditions of the RZ13 for producing lipase were studied.The lipase with highest activity (67.32U/ml) was obtained on the conditions of 25℃,pH 8.0,5 %(v/v) single spore suspension (1?107spore/ml) and 120 r/min for 84h,and stable under 40℃ and pH 8.5. In addition,the lipase was immobilized by adsorption onto Mg-Al hydrotalcite at 25℃ for 4 h by screening carriers and optimizing the immobilization. The results showed that the optimal reaction temperature and pH were 35~55℃ and 7.5~9.0,respectively,much wider than the free lipase.

Objective: To explore the clinical effects of the reconstruction of extensive leg defects using the free anterolateral thigh flap with the contralateral leg vessels as the recipient vessels. Methods: From January 2012 to January 2018, ten patients were treated with severe and extensive leg defects in the department of orthopedics of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University. There were 7 males and 3 females with an average age of 35, from 17 to 56. There were no main vessels for angiogenesis around the wounds in all cases. The size of defects ranged from 20 cm×13 cm to 29 cm×15 cm. The position of defects were anterior of shank in 5 cases, medial in 3 cases and medial posterior in 2 cases. The various flaps were harvested from the anterolateral thigh region of healthy leg and transferred to repair the leg defects. The healthy vessels of the contralateral leg were chosen as the recipient vessels. The musculocutaneous flap, fascia flap or perforator was removed according to the size of the defect and whether it was necessary to fill the dead space of the wound. The limbs were placed in parallel position and was fixed by external fixator. The pedicle division training was started 1 week after operation, the period of pedicle division and external fixator removing was from 21 days to 32 days. When the pedicle was divided, the vascular end of the limb and the distal end were anastomosed to re-established the continuous vessels. Results: All 10 flaps survived completely after surgery. The size of flaps ranged from 23 cm×14 cm to 32 cm×16 cm. The recipient vessels that were used included the posterior tibial vessels in 5 cases and anterior tibial vessels in the remaining 5 cases. All the vessels in flap pedicle were anastomosed to the recipient vessels in an end-to-end fashion. The anastomotic sites and vascular bundles were covered by using a local flap in 2 cases, skin tension reducer in 1 cases, and free skin graft in the remaining 7 cases. Very mild infection occurred in one case and was controlled by dress changing. A small-sized necrosis of the grafted skin occurred in another patient. All patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months with an average of 12 months. The function of the lower extremities almost recovered. All patients were happy with the final functional and aesthetic outcomes. Conclusions Although there some drawbacks of the technique, such as long-term immobilization of the lower extremities, multiple staged surgeries, for strictly selected patients, the healthy vessels of the contralateral leg could be served as recipients vessels when a free myocutaneous, fasciocutaneous, or perforator flap was used to reconstruct the extensive and severe injury of the leg, particularly in the absence of usable vessels in the ipsilateral leg.

Objective：This study was designed to summarize the clinical characteristics, biological behavior, and treatment results of acinic cell carcinoma of parotid. Method： Twenty nine cases of acinic cell carcinoma of parotid were collected to make clinical analysis. Results： The clinical feature of acinic cell carcinoma of parotid were observed as following： the incidence of male and female was equal and happen in any age group. The tumor usual located at superficial lobe of parotid, and growth slowly. The course was long with a mean of 5 years. The incidence of cervical lymph node metastasis was 17.2％ and distant metastasis was much less, the local recurrence rate was 20.7％ and the prognosis was relatively better. The survival rates of 3 year,5 year,10 year were 82.7％ ,80％ , and 76.9％ ,respectively. Conclusion： The incidence of acinic cell carcinoma of parotid is low, and acinic cell carcinoma of parotid could be considered as lower malignant tumor. Radical surgical ressection is the most common modality for its treatment, while larger lesion or recurrent cases may receive postoperative radiotherapy so as to decrease local recurrence.

Objective To evaluate the value of using a linear stapler device for the cloure of the pharynx during total laryngectomy.Methods Sixteen total laryngectomies were performed between August 2010 and December 2011,during the operation,the TA 60 linear stapler was used for pharyngeal closure.Among these patients,two patients had the history of pre-operative radiotherapy,four patients recurred after radiotherapy,ten patients were treated for the first time.100 ml methylene blue was injected into the newly closed laryngopharyngeal cavity through the nasopharyngeal breather pipe for checking up whether it was watertight or not.Results Amnong the sixteen patients,methylene blue leakage from the mucosal joint of the gular cavity closed by the stapler were not found in fifteen patients,it was only found in one patient.The transudatory places were sutured with absorbable Vicryl sutures. This patient healed well without pharyngocutaneous fistula.Negative surgical margins were achieved in all patients.No patient needed to be tranfered to open surgery.Using a linear stapler device in total laryngectomy,45 minutes could be saved as compaired to manual suture. One patient developed a light pharyngocutaneous fistula.The incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula was 6.25％ (1/16). Conclusions This stapled closed technique for pharyngoplasty is efficient,eliminates the risk of wound contamination,saves operation time and decreases the incidence of pharyngocutaneous fistula.This technique can be recommended as alternative for repairing the pharynx in patients undergoing total laryngectomy.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of p38MAPK inhibitor SB203580 (SB) on the occurrence of acute GVHD and intestine damage after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in mice.

METHODSSixty BALB/c mice, as recipients, were randomized to control group, irradiation group, model group and intervention group. C57BL/6 mice, as donors, were raised to prepare the bone marrow cells (BMCs) and spleen cells (SCs), which were injected into irradiated recipients mice by tail vein. Except control group, other groups accepted 7.5Gy total body irradiation. Model group and intervention group were infused with BMCs 5×10⁶ and SCs 5×10⁵ by less than 4 h after irradiation. SB was injected into intervention group by intraperitoneally, but only DMSO for model group. The general status and survival rate of each group were evaluated. The expression of p-p38MAPK, Fas and FasL in intestine were determined by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

RESULTSThe weight changes of intervention group (13.00±0.50)% was significantly lighter than that of model group (25.00±0.75)% (P<0.05). The clinical score of acute GVHD in the intervention group (3.33±0.82) was significantly lower than that of model group (6.33±1.36) (P<0.05). The expression levels of p-p38MAPK, Fas and FasL in small intestine of intervention group (1.43±0.02, 0.81±0.03, 0.97±0.03) were lower than those of model group (1.76±0.05, 1.52±0.04, 1.48±0.04).

CONCLUSIONSB inhibited the activation of p38MAPK and Fas/ FasL signal pathway and alleviated the apoptosis of small intestine. And SB could relieve small intestine damages induced by allogeneic T lymphocytes.

OBJECTIVETo study the correlation of eating raw fish with primary hepatic carcinoma (PHC), and to investigate the synergistic effect of HBV infection, alcohol consumption and eating raw fish on the oncogenesis of PHC.

METHODSA hospital-based case-control study was conducted among 500 PHC patients and 500 non-cancerous patients in order to compare the history of eating raw fish. The synergistic pathogenetic action of eating raw fish, HBV infection and alcohol consumption on carcinogenesis of PHC was analyzed by crossover analysis and multiple logistic regression.

RESULTSThe rates of eating raw fish in the past between the case (54.8%) and the control group (8.4%) were significantly different (P < 0.001). OR value of suffering PHC in the patients who ate raw fish in the past was 13.6 (95% CI: 9.1-19.5) when compared with the non-cancerous patient. HBV infection, alcohol consumption and eating raw fish showed an interactive effect on the development of PHC, with a relative excessive risk of interaction(RERI) of 195.3 and 17.8; attributable proportion of interaction (API) of 0.8630 and 0.5251; and synergy index (S) of 7.5 and 2.8, respectively.

CONCLUSIONA history of eating raw fish may be an important risk factor for suffering primary hepatic carcinoma. HBV infection, alcohol consumption and eating raw fish may have a synergistic effect on the developing of primary hepatic carcinoma.

Objective: To evaluate the tolerance and safety of a human-mouse chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody IBI301 in Chinese patients achieved objective response with CD20(+) B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Methods: Nine patients with CD20(+) B-cell NHL received dose-escalating IBI301 infusions (250 mg/m(2), n=3; 375 mg/m(2), n=3; 500 mg/m(2), n=3, respectively). The data of all patients were collected for safety analyses. The median exposures of 125 mg/m(2), 375 mg/m(2), 500 mg/m(2) dose groups were 243, 690 and 980 mg, respectively. Safety and tolerability were evaluated by monitoring adverse events (AE). The ratios of CD19(+), CD20(+) B cells and the levels IgG and IgM were detected to evaluate the pharmacodynamics. Results: Totally 52 events of AE were observed, including 18 events of AE in 125 mg/m(2) group, 14 events of AE in 375 mg/m(2) group and 20 events of AE in 500 mg/m(2) group, respectively. There were 26 adverse reactions of 52 cases of AE, 22 reactions were judged to be probably related to IBI301, and 4 reactions were not probably related to IBI301, all disappeared or returned to baseline levels. Common AE in this study included decreased WBC, upper respiratory infection, decreased neutrophil count, dyspepsia, hyperuricemia, paresthesia, oral mucositis and dizziness. No patients quitted or trial discontinued. No severe AE (SAE) were reported. No dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) events were observed in the study. The ratio of CD20(+) and CD19(+) B cells decreased in all subjects. There was no significant changes of the levels of IgG and IgM. Conclusions: The single dose of IBI301 injection was well tolerated, and the AE occurred in the patients recovered. No SAE were reported, No DLT events were observed in the study. The IBI301 caused an elimination of the peripheral CD20-expressing B cells in all patients. Clinical trial registration: Chinadrugtrials, CTR20140762.
