Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and surgical treatment of primary hyperthyroidism with concurrent thyroid carcinoma. Methods The clinical data of 43 hyperthyroidism cases complicating thyroid carcinoma, confirmed by pathology at our hospital from January 1999 to September 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Preoperatively 40 patients were examined by ultrasound,29 cases were diagnosed with carcinoma, the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound was 72. 5%. Thyroidectomy was performed in all the 43 patients, including subtotal thyroidectomy (5 patients), homolateral total thyroidectomy and contralateral subtotal thyroidectomy with neck dissection (25 patients ), total thyroidectomy with neck dissection or radical neck dissection (11 patients ) and lobectomy plus isthmus resection (2 patients ).Postoperative pathology identified papillary carcinoma in 38 cases, and follicular carcinoma in 5 cases.Postoperative temporary hypocalcemia developed in 3 cases and one suffered from irritating when drinking.No hoarseness or blooding. 39 patients were followed-up from 2 to 110 months averaging 45 months, there was no tumor recurrence. Conclusions Preoperative routine ultrasonography helps to identify thyroid carcinoma that coexists with primary hyperthyroidism. The postoperative prognosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma concurrent with hyperthyroidism is satisfactory.

The article is attempted to introduce PBL teaching in clinical biochemistry. The PBL teaching has improved some aspects of students' abilities in the self-study, accessing to information, solving the problem, teamwork and developing thinking. But in the course of PBL teaching, there are three problems: shortage of qualified teachers, teaching system and students' inability. This article puts forward the countermeasures to resolve these problems.

Objective To explore the dynamic expression of ROCK-Ⅰ,p-MBS Thr-697,α-SMA protein and their mRNA in the hepatic fibrogenesis and the changes of actin cytoskeleton.Methods ROCK-Ⅰ and p-MBS Thr-697 protein in liver were determined by Western blot and their mRNA was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),while the distribution of ROCK-Ⅰ and α-SMA in liver was assessed immunohistochemis-tically.The change of actin cytoskeleton was shown by fluorescence.Results With the development of hepatic fi-brosis,the positive areas in model groups at week 1 to 4 of ROCK-Ⅰ and α-SMA of the rat livers were larger than that in control group respectively(P <0.05).ROCK-Ⅰ,p-MBS Thr-697 ,α-SMA protein and mRNA were increased than that in control group respectively.ROCK-Ⅰ mRNA expression correlated with α-SMA (r =0.718,P <0.05).With the development of liver fibrosis,the images of fluorescence were inhanced.Conclusion With the develop-ment of liver fibrosis,both protein and mRNA of ROCK-Ⅰ increased.

BACKGROUND:Distal femur is a predilection site for primary bone tumors, most of which are treated with salvage treatment. There are many reports on the early-stage, mid-term and prognosis of the distal femur tumor-type artificial knee joint prosthesis, but reports on long-term function and prognosis are less.
OBJECTIVE:To study the long-term prognosis and limb function after treatment with rotating-hinge knee prosthesis.
METHODS:Thirty-four patients with distal femoral bone tumors admitted to the Department of Orthopedics, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2000 and June 2008 were retrospectively analyzed, including 19 males and 15 females. Al patients were subjected to rotating hinge knee prosthesis replacement.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mean fol ow-up period was 62.4 months (range 11 to 126 months). At the final of fol ow-up, 23 patients were event-free alive and 11 patients were dead. Seven of 23 survival patients suffered from prosthesis related complications, including four cases of prosthesis revision and three cases of amputation. The event-free survival rate of 23 patients undergoing replacement of domestic tumor prosthesis around the knee was 67.6%in 5 years. The mean functional score of affected limb was 19.30 (7 to 27 points):excellent in 6 cases, good in 16, fine in 5 and poor in 2. The excellent-good rate was 75.9%. The clinical outcomes suggested that the satisfactory limb function and survival rate could be achieved with the application of domestic tumor prosthesis replacement for treatment of malignant bone tumors around the knee.

Objective To analyze the application of clinicopathological features and LEF-1 in the diagnosis of solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN).Methods Clinical and pathological data of 227 cases who were pathologically diagnosed as pancreatic SPN at Changhai Hospital from Jan 2000 to Dec 2015 were collected and analyzed.Immunochemical assay was used to detect the expression of LEF-1 in 132 cases of SPN, and the results were compared with β-catenin, which is most commonly used for diagnosing SPN.Results 81.9% of patients with SPN were female (186/227).Mean age at the onset was 34 years.Mean tumor size was 5.4 cm.48.5% tumors were localized in the pancreatic tail, and 33% in the head.46.3% tumors were cystic and solid, 42.3% were solid, and 11.4% were cystic.There were 2 cases of lymph node metastasis (0.9%), 15 cases of vascular tumor thrombus (6.6%), 14 cases of nerve invasion (6.2%), and 13 cases of adjacent organs invasion (5.7%) based on microscopic observations.Immunochemical analysis showed that 130 of 132 cases with SPN expressed LEF-1 with strong nuclear positivity, and the positivity rate was 98.5%.But no obvious expression of LEF-1 can be seen in normal pancreatic tissue and other pancreatic tumors.The specificity was 100%.The positivity of β-catenin expression in SPN was 96.6%(144/149), and β-catenin was positively expressed in only one case of acinar cell carcinoma.Tumors were completely removed by surgery in 165 cases, and the median follow-up was 51 months.By Oct 31, 2016, 162 patients (98.2%) survived, 5 had liver metastasis, and 1 had recurrence.Conclusions SPN is predominantly encountered in young female patients, and the clinical manifestations are not specific.LEF-1 can be used as a specific marker for the diagnosis and differentiation of SPN, which is more accurate than β-catenin.
