Objective To analyze and classify the characteristic of plain X-ray, CT scan, MRI and pathologic findings in ossification of the ligamentum flavum of the thoracic spine. Providing the clinic criterion to verify the extent and progression of ossification of ligaments based on medical imaging findings. Methods Twenty-four patients with thoracic myelopathy due to ossification of the ligamentum flavum underwent surgical decompression posteriorly. There were 18 males and 6 females with age ranging from 42-76 years (mean, 57.9 years). The morphology of ossification on the CT scan was divided into isotype and non-isotype. The signal intensity of ossification was compared with that of spinal cord on T2 stage in MRI, whose results were divided into four types, such as no signal, low signal, iso signal and high signal. There were two types of ossification in pathologic findings, the mature and immature ossification. 73 segments of ossified ligaments removed from surgery were evaluated and classified individually on the base of their X-ray, CT scan, MRI and pathologic findings. 27 segments of ossified ligaments were examined immunohistochemically by use of TGF-?1 antibody. The relationship between classification of X-ray, CT scan, MRI and pathology of the ossified ligaments were compared on the basis of individual segment, to determine whether there was correlation between these findings. Results The relationship between the pathologic findings of the 73 ossified fragments and the manifestation for the CT classification and MRI signal showed: 18 isotype ossification on CT scan turn out to be mature; and among the 55 non-isotype ossification, 51 were immature and 4 were mature. 22 no signal ossifications on MRI were confirmed as mature type; all the 50 low signal ossifications were immature type; and 1 iso signal ossification was immature type. 100% were matched between MRI and pathological findings, 94.5% matched between CT and pathological findings. Conclusion The extent and progression of ossification of ligaments may be verified and predicted clinically on the base of CT scan and MRI findings, which provide the clinic criterion to guide the extent and timing of decompression.

Objective To dynamically observe the expressions of Toll like-receptor 2 (TLR-2),TLR-4 and inflammatory cytokine IL-1 beta and TNF alpha,and analyze the correlation between TLR-2,TLR-4 and inflammatory response on rat cornea alkali burn.Methods Forty SPF healthy SD rats were excluded the anterior segment disease,the right eye was set as burn experiment and the left eye as normal control,Ⅲ level corneal alkali burn model was established with concentration of 1 mol · L-1 NaOH(At the establishment and after the establishment of the model,the inconsistent degree of corneal bums,the corneal perforation and hyphema in rats,etc.,were removed,and finally randomly selected 32 eligible rats),then were randomly grouped into 3 days,7 days,14 days and 21 days group,8 eyes in each group.The rats were observed and photographed anterior segment of each group,evaluated the corneal inflammation index,then removed the eyeball of the rats in the corresponding time points.The eyeballs were made into pathological tissue section and stained with HE method.The number of inflammatory cells in the cornea was calculated,and the expression of TLR-2,TLR-4,IL-1 beta and TNF alpha was detected in the rat cornea with method of Western blot protein detection at the same time.The differences of each group were analyzed,and the correlation was assessed between TLRs and inflammatory factor.Results There were the expressions of TLR-2,TLR-4,IL-1 beta and TNF alpha in the normal rat cornea,and its expressions were gradually increased after alkali burn,reached the peak at the 7 days,then decreased gradually,the difference of each group (the 3 day,the 7 day,the 14 day,the 21 day) was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The expressions of TLR-2 and IL-1 beta (r =0.986,P ＜ 0.05),TNF alpha (r =0.986,P ＜ 0.05) were positive correlated.The expressions of TLR-4 and IL-1 beta(r =0.975,P ＜ 0.05),TNF alpha (r =0.990,P ＜0.05) were positive correlated.Conclusion TLRs participates and may start immune inflammatory response after corneal alkali burn,mediates the production of inflammatory cytokine.

Melatonin has a significant inhibitory effect on various cancers,especially on breast cancer.In estrogen receptor (ER)-positive human breast cancer,anti-cancer effects ofmelatonin on breast cancer cells and transplanted tumors mainly achieve by suppressing ER mRNA expression and ER transcriptional activity via the MT1 receptor.In addition,melatonin regulates the transactivation of other members of the nuclear receptor super-family,estrogen metabolizing enzymes,and the expression of related genes.Furthermore,melatonin also suppresses tumor aerobic metabolism,critical cell-signaling pathways relevant to cell proliferation,survival,metastasis,and drug resistance.Melatonin demonstrates both cytostatic and cytotoxic activity in breast cancer cells that appears to be cell-type specific.Studies on animal and human models indicate that disruption of the circadian nocturnal melatonin signal promotes the growth,metabolism,and signaling of human breast cancer,resulting in invalid hormone therapy and chemotherapeutic resistance in breast tumors.

Targeted agents for advanced colorectal cancer mainly include inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR).Studies show that bevacizumab and cetuximab can improve the prognosis of advanced colorectal cancer patients,but there is slight difference in the choice of chemotherapy regimens when combined with them.Bevacizumab and cetuximab can improve the overall survival of K-ras wild-type colorectal cancer patients similarly.The emergence of new targeted drugs such as aflibercept,regorafenib provides more choices for the targeted therapy of advanced colorectal cancer patients.
