BACKGROUND:Bone loss to different degrees may appear within 1 year after hip replacement in the femoral or acetabular sides, and severely affect long-term stability of the prosthesis and bone strength. Thus, to reduce bone loss around the prosthesis stem after total hip replacement is significant to prolong the use time of the prosthesis and to prevent fractures surrounding the prosthesis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the preventive effect of zoledronic acid on bone loss surrounding the prosthesis stem after hip replacement.
METHODS:A total of 80 patients after total hip replacement in the People’s Hospital of Shenxian from February 2011 to September 2014 were enrol ed in this study. They were divided into two groups (n=40). At 4 days after replacement, patients in the observation group received treatment with zoledronic acid, but those in the control group did not give zoledronic acid. The rest medication was identical between the two groups. Bone mineral density in the hip was measured before replacement and at 1 year after replacement in both groups. Serum calcium and
phosphorus levels and alkaline phosphatase activities were observed before replacement, 3 days and 1 year after medication in the two groups. Adverse reaction during medication was recorded in the observation group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average bone mineral density was significantly decreased in both groups at 1 year after replacement, and significant differences were found as compared with before replacement (P<0.05). The average bone mineral density was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group at 1 year after
replacement (P<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus levels were significantly diminished at 3 days after medication as compared with that before replacement (P<0.05). Calcium and phosphorus levels maintained at the level before replacement at 1 year after medication. Alkaline phosphatase activities were slightly reduced within a short time after replacement in both groups, but no significant difference was found as compared with before replacement (P>0.05). Alkaline phosphatase activities were low in the observation group at 1 year after medication, and significant difference was detected as compared with the control group and that before replacement (P<0.05). No significant difference in alkaline phosphatase activities was detectable in the control group between 1-year post medication and pre-replacement (P>0.05). Within two or three days after medication, nine patients suffered from varying degrees of muscle aches and fever in the observation group, and above symptoms were lessened after taking acetaminophen. These results verify that after total hip replacement, zoledronic acid injection can effectively prevent bone loss around the prosthesis in early stage after replacement, but fever symptoms may occur within a week after replacement. Thus, it is recommended that zoledronic acid injection can be given at 1 week after replacement. If fever and other symptoms appear, acetaminophen can be given.

Objective To study the effects of siltuximab on the interleukin-6 (IL-6)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) signaling pathway in ovarian epithelial carcinoma.Methods (1) Expressions of IL-6 in ovarian cancer patient specimens were assessed by immunohistochemistry.(2) Expression of phosphorylation Stat3 (pStat3) protein in siltuximab and IL-6 treated SKOV3 cell lines was determined by western blot, and expression levels of Stat3-induced bcl-XL,MCL-1, survivin, in siltuximab treated SKOV3/TR and CAOV3/TR cells lines were also determined by western blot.(3) Real-time image analysis was used to study the nuclear translocation of pEGFP-Stat3 fusion protein in ovarian cancer cell line SKOV3-pEGFP-Stat3 treated with siltuximab and IL-6.(4)Paclitaxel sensitivity in siltuximab treated SKOV3/TR and CAOV3/TR cell lines were assessed using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT).The 50% inhibiting concentration ( IC50 ) was defined as the paclitaxel concentration required to decrease the A490 value to 50%.Results ( 1 ) There were significantly difference in IL-6 staining density and the positive rate of IL-6 protein stained among the metastatic, and drug-resistant recurrent tumors,and matched primary tumors [69%(18/26)] vs.77% (20/26)vs.23% (6/26), P＜0.05].(2)A clear increase in Stat3 phosphorylation levels was observed in the IL-6-treated SKOV3 cell lines as compared to the SKOV3 cell lines.When the IL-6-treated SKOV3 cells were incubated with siltuximab with a range of concentrations of 0.001,0.01,0.1, 1.0 and 10 μg/ml, there were trends toward reduced pStat3 expression in the treated cell lines.Compared without treatment with siltuximab, the expression of the anti-apoptotic proteins MCL-1, bcl-XL and survivin in SKOV3/TR and CAOV3/TR cell lines were significantly decreased after treated with siltuximab.(3) In resting cells, the majority of pEGFPStat3 was cytoplasmic until the addition of human IL-6, which promptly induced the translocation of fluorescent Stat3 molecules to the nucleus.Exposure of cells to siltuximab with a range of concentrations of 0.001, 0.01,0.1, 1.0 and 10 μg/ml, followed by an incubation in IL-6 significantly reduced pEGFP-Stat3 nucleocytoplasmic translocation.(4) MTT cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that siltuximab increased paclitaxel-induced cell death and partially overcame paclitaxel resistance.Treated with siltuximab ( 1 and 10 μg/ml) ,the paclitaxel IC50 value of siltuximab in SKOV3/TR (0.49, 0.19 μg/ml) and CAOV3/TR (0.0010, 0.0008 μg/ml) cells were significantly lower than those in untreated cells (0.71,0.0021 μg/ml;all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions These results demonstrated that siltuximab effectively block the IL-6 signaling pathways, which .Blockage of IL-6 signaling may provide benefits for the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Objective To investigate the surgical strategy of recurrent rectuvaginal fistula. Methods Retrospectivly analyzed the clinical data of 13 patients with recurrent rectovaginal fistula from December 2001 to December 2008. The etiopathogenisis and the ways of treatment were analyzed. Results All the 13 patients with a transverse colostomy surgical repaired with Mason operation in the secondary intention,and recepted closure of colostomy in the third intention for treatment, all patients were cured. No recurrent fistula was identified with postoperative follow-up 4 - 84 months. Conclusions After recurrent rectovaginal fistula with multiple surgical treatment,the blood supply of local tissue is poor,the scar is serious. Selecting the appropriate timing of operation, adequate preoperative preparation, the application of transverse colostomy and Mason operation in different period could significantly enhance the successful operation rate.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathological characteristics of primary non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( PNHL) of lung. Methods The clinical features, morphology and immunohistopathological phenotypes were retrospectively studied in 28 cases of PNHL and re-viewed of the literature. Results The composition of this group of cases is 18 cases of male, 10 cases female. The a median age of pa-tients was 57 years old. According to the WHO classification, all of the 28 cases of in our PNHL series were diagnosed as non-Hodgkin lymphoma ( NHL) , including 17 mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue extranodal marginal zone lymphomas ( MALT) , 5 diffuse large B cell lymphomas ( DLBLC) , 2 NK/T cell lymphomas and 2 anaplastic large cell lymphomas, 1 mantle cell lymphoma ( MCL) and 1 pe-ripheral T cell lymphomas, unspecified, respectively. One-third PNHL patients presented with specific clinical symptoms such as cough, chest pain, dyspnea, and fatigue, Imaging examination showed unilateral or bilateral pulmonary infiltrate, single lesions or multiple nodules, and the lesions always involved with the trachea, bronchus and lung. Follow-up was completed in 16 patients ( range, 3 to 38 months) . 3 cases were conducted with pneumonectomy, among which 2 cases were given postoperative adjuvant chem-otherapy. Seven patients were given chemotherapy alone, and 5 patients did not give any treatment following initial diagnosis. At the time of last follow-up, 13 patients were alive with disease, 2 patients were died. The tumor metastasis in the left inguinal lymph node was found in one patient after 2 years by surgery. Conclusions It was shown that there was no specific clinical manifestations and fea-tures of pulmonary PNHL. Among of them, the MALT is the most common diseases, and the highly aggressive lymphomas many be oc-cur, such as the DLBLC, NK/T cell lymphoma. The diagnosis of PNHL depends on pathological examination. The immunohistochemi-cal staining and molecular pathological technology may helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the tumors.
