Purpose:To evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of vindercine(VDS)in the interven- tional treatment of hepatic and pulmonary carcinomas.Materials and Methods:30 cases of mid-ad- vanced hepatic and pulmonary carcinomas,among them,13 eases of primary hepatic carcinomas,7 cases of matastic hepatic carinomas and 10 cases of primary pulmonary carcinomas,were treated by selective arterial infusion chemotherapy.The combination chemotherapeutic regimens conpored of VDS together with 5-Fu,MMC,carboplatin or Vp16.Results:The response rate for all cases was 60%,for primary hepatic carcinomas 61.5%,for metastic hepatic carcinoma 42.9% and for primary pulmonary carcinoma 70%.Myelosuppession was the main toxicity and 70% patients had the gastrointertional reac- tions as nusea,vomiting etc.Conclusion:VSD is a more effective drug for pulmonary carcinoma,but for hepatic carcinoma,the efficacy of VDS was unmarkable from other drugs.

Objective To investigate serum interferon-inducible protein 16 (IFI16) level in the patients with preeclampsia (PE) and its correlation with PE pathogenesis.Methods Forty-five PE pregnant women in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from August 2015 to March 2016 were selected as the PE group and contemporaneous 30 healthy pregnant women undergoing the routine pregnant examination were selected as the control group.The biochemical indexes of serum urea,uric acid,creatinine,etc.were detected by using the automatic biochemical analyzer.The serum levels of IFI16 and ET-1 were measured by ELISA.Then the correlations between serum IFI16 level with these detected indicators were analyzed.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the value of serum IFI16 for predicting PE disease.Results The serum IFI16 and ET-1 levels in the PE group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.01).Furthermore the serum IFI16 level in severe PE was significantly higher than that in mild PE (P<0.01).Serum IFI16 level in PE was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,24-h urine protein quantitation and serum ET-1 level,and negatively correlated with serum albumin.Serum IFI16 levels 14.47 ng/mL and 17.09 ng/mL as the critical values for predicting preeclampsia and discriminating between mild preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia has a higher sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion The high level of serum IFI16 in pregnant women has a certain correlation with PE pathogenesis and may be a novel biomarker for predicting PE occurrence.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of T helper (Th) 22 and Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.MethodsThirty women with severe preeclampsia who delivered in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2014 to February 2016 were enrolled in the study. Thirty healthy pregnant women matched for age and gestational weeks were recruited as the control group. The frequencies of Th22 and Th17 cells in peripheral whole blood were determined by flow cytometry. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-22 and IL-17A in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Independent two samplest-test, non-parametric test and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe percentage of Th22 and Th17 cells in the severe preeclampsia group were significantly higher than those in the control group, respectively[Th22 cells: 0.59% (0.39%-1.13%) vs 0.40%(0.23%-0.57%),Z=2.530,P=0.010; Th17 cells: 3.24% (3.02%-3.97%) vs 1.87% (1.53%-2.64%),Z=5.046, P=0.000]. So were the plasma levels of IL-22 and IL-17A[IL-22: 285.72 (247.63-306.69) vs 233.85 (184.92-258.38) pg/ml,Z=4.341,P=0.001; IL-17A: 27.53 (23.84-32.78) vs 17.36 (15.58-19.13) pg/ml,Z=4.924, P=0.000]. There was a positive correlation between circulating Th22 and Th17 cells in the severe preeclampsia group (r=0.534,P=0.015), while no correlation was found in the control group (r=0.345,P=0.136). Positive correlation was found in plasma level of IL-22 with Th22 cells (r=0.600,P=0.005), but not with Th17 cells (r=0.398,P=0.082) in the severe preeclampsia group.ConclusionsIncreased Th22 cells and high IL-22 concentrations in the peripheral blood of severe preeclampsia patients may indicate a self-defense mechanism in the maternal body. Th22 cells and Th17 cells may interact with each other.

Objective To study the preoperative application value of the three-dimensional angiography in surgical strategy for the elderly patients with meningioma. Methods Forty-two elderly patients aged 60 years and over with meningioma were examined preoperatively with multi-slice spiral CT angiography(MSCTA) and (or) 3 dimensional contrast-enhancement MR angiography(3D CE-MRA)as simulation group.In three-dimensional post-processing workstation,the oppression and invasion degree of the intracranial important blood vessels,nervous running zone and sinus,as well as surgical risks were evaluated. 28 elderly patients without the above examination were as control group. The operation time, blood transfusions and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Results All 42 cases of simulation group completed reasonable surgical plan and approach.The incidence of postoperative complications were lower in simulation group than in control group (35.7％ vs.50.0％,P＞0.05),intra-operative blood transfusion were significantly decreased in simulation group as compared with control group [(5301.0± 150.6) ml vs.( 621.4±226.7)ml,t=2.01,P=0.049],operation time after three-dimensional simulation were reduced as compared with control group [(257.1 ±72.6) min vs.(307.5±88.2)min,t=2.61,P=0.011].Conclusions Application of three-dimensional angiography in elderly patients with meningioma to evaluate the operative risk may help make reasonable surgical strategy,thus reducing the surgical trauma and complications.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the clinical effects of external fixator combined with limited internal fixation in the treatment of pediatric distal femur fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2008 to June 2014, 17 children of distal femur fractures were treated by external fixator combined with limited internal fixation. There were 12 males and 5 females, aged from 6 to 13 years old with an average of 10.2 years, ranged in the course of disease from 1 h to 2 d. Preoperative diagnoses were confirmed by X-ray films in all children. There were 11 patients with supracondylar fracture , and 6 patients with intercondylar comminuted fracture. According to AO/ASIF classification, 9 fractures were type A1, 5 cases were type A2,and 3 cases were type C1. The intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative radiological examination, lower limbs length and motion of knee joints were observed. Knee joint function was assessed by KSS score.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up from 6 to 38 months with an average of 24.4 months. No nerve or blood vessel injury was found. One case complicated with the external fixation loosening, 2 cases with the infection of pin hole and 3 cases with the leg length discrepancy. Knee joint mobility and length measurement (compared with the contralateral), the average limited inflexion was 10 degrees (0 degrees to 20 degrees), the average limited straight was 4 degrees (0 degrees to 10), the average varus or valgus angle was 3 degrees (0 degrees to 5 degrees). KSS of the injured side was (96.4 +/- 5.0) points at final follow-up, 16 cases got excellent results and 1 good. All fractures obtained healing and no epiphyseal closed early was found.

CONCLUSIONExternal fixator combined with limited internal fixation has advantages of simple operation, reliable fixation, early functional exercise in treating pediatric distal femurs fractures.
