Objective To evaluate specific clinical and imaging features of osteogenesis imperfecta V and to improve diagnostic accuracy of this disease. Methods Data of 15 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta type V were retrospectively analyzed for their clinical and imaging features. There were 10 males and 5 females, aged from 1 year and 30 years old (median age,12.5 years ). All 15 patients had plain X-ray, and 4 of 15 had CT. All data were analyzed by 3 experienced deputy chief doctors in OI according to OI V standard. Results X-ray:calcification of the interosseous membrane between radius-ulna was detected in all patients and calcification of the interosseous membrane between tibia-fibula was detected in 2 of 15 patients. Dislocation of the radial head was seen in 13 of 15 patients,bilateral in 9 and utilateral in 4.All patients showed restriction in the pronation and supination of the forearm and restricton in the flexion and extention of the elbow joint. Patients with dislocation of raidal head were associated with large coronoid process and olecranon of the ulna. Hyperplastic callus of the extremities were detected in 7 of 15 patients (7 at femur , 3 at humerus, 1 at tibia.In early stage, hyperplastic callus showed thin cortice, and clear boundares with the diaphysis showing and low density, irregular, mesh-like lamellation inside. In the later stage, there were dense calcification inside hyperplastic callus, and no difference in density with the diaphysis. Diaphysis surrounded by hyperplastic callus had clear boundaries with the hyperplastic callus. No cortical destruction was detected. CT:there were sparse needle-dot calcification inside hyperplastic callus, with the patterns of granular, ring-and-arch,irregular streaky mineralization. The cross section of proximal femoral shaft showed irregular shape , flat square shape and tiny medullary cavity, with no calcification on the edge of hyperplastic callus. CT value:-91 HU inside hyperplastic callus; 283 HU in femoral shaft. Conclusions Interosseous membrane between radius-ulna or tibia-fibula, hyperplastic callus ,dislocation of the radial head are specific features in osteogenesis imperfecta V. X-ray can make a definitive diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta V. CT scan is helpful in the differential diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta V from osteosarcoma.

Vascular birthmarks are the most common disease.The morbidity is about 2.5%,most of the lesions occur in oral and maxillofacial regions which accounts for 40%-60% of the total lesions.In 1982,Mulliken and Glowacki proposed a biologic classification of vascular birthmarks on the basis of their clinical manifestations,histopathological features,and natural history.They defined hemangiomas as vascular tumors with a growth phase,marked by endothelial proliferation and hypercellularity,and an involutional phase.They recognized that many entities referred to as hemangiomas are actually structural malformations of the vasculature,derived from capillaries,veins,lymph vessels,or arteries or from a combination of these sources.The classification was confirmed and issued by International Society for the study of vascular anomality(ISSVA) in 1988.Waner and Suen amended the above category in 1995.This paper presents the new classification of vascular birthmarks and the developments in this field in re-cent years,including the pathology,clinical features and the therapy.For example,the classification of venular malformation categorized by Waner in 1989;the classification of lymphous malformation by Waner and Suen in 1995;and the treatments according to above classifications.

To develop standard in vitro chondrosarcoma models, we synthesized three hydrogels (i. e., PDMAAm, PNaAMPS and PMETAC) and investigated the influence of Young's modulus, swelling ratio and electric charges on the behavior of chondrosarcoma cells seeded on the hydrogels, including morphology, adhesion and aggregation. Results showed that the morphology of chondrosarcoma cells at 6h was dependent on the charges of hydrogels; cells present spindle-shaped and round-shaped morphology on negative charged and neutral hydrogel, respectively, while no cells spreaded on positive charged hydrogel. Chondrosarcoma cells formed aggregates on neutral PDMAAm after further culture. The hydrogels can be synthesized easily and has the characteristics of ease at use with defined components, which holds great potential for developing standard chondrosarcoma models in vitro.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in patients with liver cancer, as well as its influence on malignant biological behavior of liver cancer and related regulatory mechanism. MethodsFrom January 2016 to December 2022, 26 patients with liver cancer, 28 patients with liver cirrhosis, and 28 individuals undergoing physical examination were enrolled. ELISIA was used to measure the content of LPA in plasma and peritoneal effusion of the patients with liver cancer or liver cirrhosis accompanied by peritoneal effusion, and the content of LPA was measured in plasma of the normal population at the same time, so as to clarify the difference in the expression of LPA in different populations, such as the patients with liver cancer and those with liver cirrhosis. MTT cell proliferation assay and cell migration assay were used to observe the influence of LPA and its inhibitor pertussis toxin (PTX) on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of SMMC7721 cells. In order to investigate the effect of LPA on the expression of RhoA and its upstream and downstream molecules FAK and P53 after binding to its receptor, qPCR and Western blot were used to observe the effect of LPA on the mRNA and protein expression levels of P53, FAK, and RhoA in SMMC7721 cells. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of the means of continuous data between multiple groups, and the SNK-q test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the patients with liver cirrhosis, the patients with liver cancer had a significantly higher concentration of LPA in plasma (4.99±0.55 μmol/L vs 2.63±0.43 μmol/L, P<0.05) and peritoneal effusion (5.19±0.63 μmol/L vs 2.91±0.46 μmol/L, P<0.05), and the patients with liver cancer also had a significantly higher level of plasma LPA than the normal population (4.99±0.55 μmol/L vs 1.61±0.39 μmol/L, P<0.05). The cell proliferation assay showed that LPA significantly promoted the proliferation of SMMC7721 cells, and cell proliferation rate increased with the increase in dose and time; in particular, the middle-and high-dose groups had a significantly higher proliferation rate than the control group (P<0.05). PTX inhibited the proliferative capacity of SMMC7721 cells in a time-dependent manner, and there was a significant difference between the groups (P<0.05). The proliferation rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA group was 3.6 times that of the control group, while the proliferation rate of the PTX group was 0.6 times that of the control group; the proliferation rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA+PTX group was 1.2 times that of the control group. In addition, LPA increased the migration ability of hepatoma cells, while PTX inhibited their migration, in a time-dependent manner, and there was a significant difference between the groups (P<0.05). The migration rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA group was 3.09 times that of the control group, while the migration rate of the PTX group was 0.4 times that of the control group; the migration rate of the 72-hour high-dose LPA+PTX group was 0.99 times that of the control group. qPCR and Western blot showed that there were significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of P53 in SMMC7721 cells after LPA treatment, while there were significant increases in the mRNA and protein expression levels of FAK and RhoA; there was a significant difference between the LPA group and the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionThere is an abnormal increase in the expression of LPA in patients with liver cancer, and LPA can promote the proliferation of liver cancer cells and increase their migration ability. At the same time, LPA changes the expression levels of P53, FAK, and RhoA, which may be associated with the promotion of tumor development and progression by LPA.
