Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with single spinal metastasis of thoracic, lumbar or sacral vertebra treated with microwave ablation in situ.Methods:For 28 patients with single spinal metastasis of thoracic, lumbar or sacral vertebra, detailed and personal surgical plans were carried out. Instead of en bloc resection, hyperthermia ablation in situ was performed followed by strengthening procedures under the guidance of G-arm fluoroscopy machine. Intraoperatively, spinal cord and nerve root were properly protected. The bone defects were reconstructed by bone cement after the diseased lesions were revomed. All patients were followed up for almost 1 year postoperatively. During follow-up, X-ray and MRI images were obtained, and the level of pain and neurologic outcomes were also examined.Results:All 28 patients successfully received microwave ablation in situ. The average ablation time was approximately 8 minutes and the average amount of bone cement implanted was approximately 10.5 ml. The pain scores of digital pain classification before and 3 months after operation were 7.86±1.58 and 3.07±1.89( P<0.05). The postoperative neurological function of 22 patients was improved than that before operation. No significant changes were observed in 5 patients. The neurological function of the affected limb was relieved, whereas the symptoms of the healthy limb were slightly worse in the remaining case. Conclusions:Microwave ablation in situ is a feasible and effective surgical method for single spinal metastasis of thoracic, lumbar or sacral vertebra. It might possess many advantages, such as clear surgical field, smaller incisions, less bleeding, and safe margins during the operations. Further more, it could significantly relieve pain, restrict tumor growth, and improve the quality of life of patients. It is an innovative and distinctive therapeutic alternative for single spinal metastasis, which deserves widespread application.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the relationship between Chinese medical constitutions and chemotherapy-induced leucopenia (CIL) of primary breast cancer patients.

METHODSTotally 306 breast cancer patients undergoing adjunctive chemotherapy for the 1st time, and effective 291 breast cancer patients were recruited in this study.Nine Basic Constitutional Scale was used before first chemotherapy. Chinese medical constitutions were classified and quantitatively scored. The highest grading for any item of adverse reactions in each case during the whole chemotherapy course was recorded after chemotherapy. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS16.0.

RESULTSThere was no significant difference in CIL between different chemotherapy regimens and various Chinese medical constitutions of breast cancer patients (P > 0.05). Yang deficiency constitution is one risk factor for CIL. The higher the score of yang deficiency constitution, the more severe the CIL.

CONCLUSIONSYang deficiency constitution was correlated with the degree of CIL. The higher the score of yang deficiency constitution, the greater the risk of III-IV grade CIL in breast cancer patients.

Objective: To understand the situation of school health staff and the allocation of health equipment in primary and secondary schools in Jinan. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in CDC and public primary and secondary schools to describe the situation of the school health staff and health equipment in primary and secondary schools. Results: There were 23 school health staffs in CDC, among which 26.1% were full time. The total staffing ratio of school doctors was 13.9%, with the compliance rate of 19.8%. The total allocation rate of health care teachers was 74.7%, 92.2% of them were part time. The total staffing ratio of school doctors in boarding schools was 20.0%, with a staffing compliance rate of 12.5%. The total allocation rate of school doctors and health care teachers in boarding schools was 66.7%. 16.8% of public primary and secondary schools and 23.3% of public boarding primary and secondary schools did not have any health staffs. 27.6% of public primary and secondary schools are equipped with infirmary, 70.8% with health rooms, and 10.3% without any. The configuration of necessary equipment in infirmary and health care rooms were less than 100%. Conclusion There is a serious shortage of school health staffs and health equipment in primary and secondary schools in Jinan. Attention and investment in school health should be strengthened, and resources should be rationally allocated to ensure the health of primary and secondary school students.

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of SNS-032 (C17 H24 N4O2S2) on cell cycle, apoptosis, differentiation and self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in mice. The self-renewal capability of bone marrow cells was measured by cobblestone forming cell test. The expressions of self-renewal regulation genes, cell cycle-related genes, apoptosis-related genes were measured by real-time PCR. The cell cycle status and apoptosis of HSC and HPC were detected by flow cytometry. The results showed that there was no significant difference of the frequency of HSC between SNS-032 and control group. The expressions of CDK1, CDK2, CDK7 and p27 decreased in HSC (P < 0.05) while the expressions of CDK4, CDK6, p21, p18, p19, Bcl-2, Bax, Puma, p53, Bim1, Sall4 and Notch1 showed no difference between SNS-032 group and control group (P > 0.05). The fraction of viable HSC in each phase of cell cycle remained unchanged after the treatment of SNS-032 (P > 0.05). Furthermore, there was no statistical difference in the apoptotic fractions between control and drug-treated groups (P > 0.05). It is concluded that SNS-032 induce apoptosis of cancer cells. Interestingly, SNS-032 has no significant inhibitory effect on self-renewal and differentiation of normal HSC, as well as no obvious effect inducing apoptosis of normal HSC and HPC.

Cell migration plays an important role in repair of injury, angiogenesis, cancer metastasis and so on. In this paper the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) of different concentrations on ECV-304 cell migration, and the dynamic changes in focal adhesion kinase (FAK) were observed. The relationship between FAK and cell migration induced by bFGF was studied. A ECV-304 cell scratch wound model was established and the images of cell migration were quantitatively measured using a computer-assisted videomicroscopic system. The dynamic changes in FAK content (Western blot), FAK activity (immunoprecipitation plus Western blot) and FAK mRNA (RT-PCR) were measured in vitro. The expression of integrin alpha3 was investigated using immunocytochemical staining (ABC method). The results showed that bFGF produced a dual-phase regulatory effect on ECV-304 migration when the cell confluent areas reached 90%-95% in culture. It was found that compared with the control group (0 ng/ml bFGF), the cell migration was stimulated (P<0.05), inhibited (P<0.05) and unchanged when the cultured cells were treated with bFGF at the concentrations of 5, 10 and 15 ng/ml, respectively. The content and activity of FAK protein were markedly up-regulated in 5 ng/ml bFGF group and down-regulated in 15 ng/ml bFGF group, respectively. FAK mRNA expression came to the peak in 5 ng/ml bFGF group after 6 h culture and there was a significant difference compared with the control group. In various experimental groups there were no significant differences in the expression of integrin alpha3 compared with the control group according to the immunocytochemical staining. The results mentioned above suggest that different concentrations of bFGF have a dual-phase effect on the migration of cultured ECV-304 cells, which correlates positively with FAK content, activity and mRNA in cultured ECV-304 cell scratch wound model. The FAK plays an important role in the signal transduction pathway of cell migration induced by bFGF, while bFGF can regulate the content of FAK in ECV-304 cells at gene transcription level.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the relationship between sperm motility parameters and sperm morphology.

METHODSSeven hundred and eighty-three semen samples were tested. Sperm motility parameters were analyzed by computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) , and sperm morphology assessed by automated sperm morphology analyzer (ASMA). The cases were classified based on the World Health Organization criteria. Morphologically 241 of the samples were normal and the other 542 abnormal.

RESULTSVCL, WOB, VAP of the morphologically abnormal group were significantly higher than those of the normal group (P < 0.05, P < 0.001), while MAD, LIN, STR of the abnormal group were significantly lower (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). There were significant positive correlations between the morphologically normal sperm rates and MAD, LIN, WOB, STR, and a significant negative correlation between the morphologically normal sperm rate and ALH.

CONCLUSIONMorphological abnormality of sperm is often accompanied with weak motility, which is probably attributed more to some factors that coact on both sperm motility and morphology than to the influence of sperm morphological abnormality on sperm motility.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the diagnostic value of FICTION (Fluorescence Immunophenotyping and Interphase Cytogenetics as a Tool for the Investigation of Neoplasms) technique, combining immunofluorescence and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), to detect genetic aberrations in multiple myeloma (MM).

METHODSBone marrow samples were collected from 18 MM and 2 plasma cell leukemia (PCL) patients. Probes targeting IgH and MMSET were prepared using a Nick Translation Kit from Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones. The immunophenotyping was achieved via the CD138 tyramide signal amplification (TSA)-mediated immunofluorescence, followed by FISH with the prepared probes \[t(4;14), t(11;14), t(14;16)\] and the commercial deletion probes (13q and p53) to detect common genetic aberrations in MM.

RESULTSAll the 20 samples were assayed with the probes mentioned above, and revealed 4 cases with t(4;14), 6 with t(11;14), 1 with t(14;16), 3 with p53 deletion; and 8 with 13q deletion. The remaining 4 cases had none of the 5 aberrations.

CONCLUSIONFICTION technique facilitates the detection of genetic abnormalities of MM in situ; enhances both efficiency and sensitivity of positive detection, thus, could be used as the screening test of molecular diagnosis of MM to guide coming-up risk-adapted therapy and evaluate prognosis.
