Objective:Assessing the therapeutic efficacy of methotrexate(MTX)-modified magnetic nanoparticles in thermo-chemotherapy for rat breast cancer and its impact on immune function.Methods:Female Wistar rats were subcutaneously inoculated with breast cancer Walker-256 cells to establish a transplantation tumor model,and injected with polyethyleneimine(PEI)-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(47T group,42T group and multiple 42T group)or MTX-modified Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles(47TC group,42TC group and multiple 42TC group)for thermotherapy under the magnetic field at different temperatures(47℃and 42℃).The rats injected with MTX-modified magnetic fluid only(MFC group)and the tumor-bearing rats without any treatment(blank control group),with irradiation treatment in an alternating magnetic field only for 30 minutes(M group),with injection of PEI-modified magnetic fluid only(MF group),with treatment of MTX-mono drug(MTX group)and not inoculated with tumor cells(normal group)were used as control groups.X-ray radiography was used to display the distribution of magnetic fluid in the tumor tissue 24 hours,2 weeks and 2 months after intra-tumor injection.After 24 hours of treatment,three rats were selected from each of the 47T and 47TC groups,and the effect of magnetic fluid on tumor cells was observed under an electron microscope after execution.After 14 days of treatment,the tumor volume of rats was measured and statistically analyzed.At the same time,4 rats were selected from each of the 47TC,47T,42TC,42T,MFC,MTX,blank control and normal groups,and the levels of IL-2,IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood were detected by ELISA method.The remaining rats were observed for long-term survival.Results:The magnetic nanoparticles were evenly distributed in the center of the tumor but unevenly distributed at the tumor's edge;they primarily localize amomg tumor cells and can penertrate into tumor cells.Tumor growth was inhibited in rats in the 47TC,47T,multiple 42TC and multiple 42T groups(all P<0.05),and the survival rates of the rats were high.As compared with the blank control group,the levels of IL-2 and IFN-γ were increased while the IL-4 level was decreased in the 47TC and 47T groups(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Thermo-chemotherapy at 47℃for 30 minutes and multiple sessions at 42℃for 60 minutes can partially inhibit tumor growth and prolong rat survival.This effect maybe related to the thermo-chemotherapy at 47℃for 30 minutes which can activate the body's immune function.

Objectives: To reveal the possible role and mechanism of disc-facet angle in the occurrence and progress of Hirayama disease by analyzing the correlation of clinical appearance and the variation of disc-facet angle in Hirayama disease. Methods: 45 patients with Hirayama disease treated in the orthopedic de-partment of Peking University Third Hospital from October 2006 to January 2012 were reviewed. There were 44 males(97.8%) and 1 female(2.2%) with an average age of 19.33±3.89(range 13-37) years old. The onset age was 16.33±2.73 (range 10-27) years old and the duration of history was 35.64±23.24 (range 1 to 120) months. The disc-facet angle of C3-T1 was measured on PACS system. An extension line was made along the upper edge of objective vertebral body on the CT scan sagittal reconstruction image. An extension line was made along the joint surface of upper articular process of objective vertebra on the sagittal plane which crossed the midpoint of the facets. The blunt angle between two lines was the disc-facet angle. The cases were divided into unilateral affect and bilateral affected group according to history, spinal cord function and spinal cord lesion level. The correlation of above data and the variation of disc-facet angle were analyzed. Results: The duration of history in unilateral affected patients was significantly shorter than that of bilateral affected patients (P<0.05). The duration of history in sequential onset patients was significantly shorter than that of simultaneous onset in bilateral affected patients (P<0.05). The JOA score 17 and Chinese score 40 in unilateral affected patients were higher than those of bilateral affected patients. The C3-C7 disc-facet angle of affected side was bigger than that of normal side in unilateral affected patients, and C5, C6 had statistically significant difference (P<0.05). The spinal cord lesion level was mainly at C5 and C6 in unilateral affected group. The disc-facet angle had no difference on both sides in bilateral affected patients but the figures at C4 and C5 level were bigger than that of normal side in unilateral affected patients. The spinal cord lesion level was mainly at C4 and C5 in bilateral affected group. The stability of upper cervical spine segments was even worse in unilateral affected group and resulting in higher level of spinal cord lesion comparing with bi-lateral affected group. Conclusions: The disc-facet angle of C4, C5 is bigger in bilateral affected patients and may be correlated with higher level spinal cord lesion and more severe clinical symptoms. The C5, C6 disc-facet angle of affected side is significantly bigger than that of normal side in unilateral affected patients. This may be the key factor of spinal cord lesion mainly at C5 and C6 level on the same side.

Objectives: To study the morphological difference of luscka joints between Hirayama disease patients and non-Hirayama disease patients on CT scan and to provide a new possible mechanism of Hirayama disease. Methods: 32 patients(all males) with a mean age of 19.4±4.1(range 16-37 years) and with Hirayama disease were treated in our hospital from October 2006 to January 2012, the mean course of disease was 31.7±23.7 months(range, 1-120 months). 32 patients(all males) with a mean of age was 19.1±4.3 (range, 12-26 years) suffering from acute neck pain and having no Hirayama disease were reviewed as control. Both groups showed no age related difference. From the cervical CT coronal plane reconstruction images which passing through the transverse foramen center of C3-C7 in GE-PACS system, the following data were measured in both sides: ①The width of the uncinate process base: the distance between inner and outer margin of the uncinate process at the upper edge of the vertebral body. ②The height of the uncinate process:the vertical distance from the top of the uncinate process to the upper edge of the vertebral body. ③The distance between two uncinate processes: the distance between the tips of the bilateral uncinate processes. ④The inclination angle of the uncinate process: the angle between the uncinate process and the upper edge of the vertebral body. ⑤The inclination angle of the inferior endplate: the angle between the uncinate process:the vertical distance from the top of the uncinate process to the upper edge of the vertebral body. Results:There were no significant side-related differences on the width of the uncinate process base, the height of the uncinate process, the distance of the uncinate process, the inclination angle of the uncinate process and the inclination angle of the inferior endplate at the same segment from C3 to C7 in Hirayama disease patients(P>0.05). However, differences were found on the height of the uncinate process and the distance between two uncinate processes of C3-C7 (P<0.05), C6 and C4 had the highest and lowest height of the uncinate process as C6>C5>C7>C3>C4. The distance of the uncinate process gradually increased from C3 to C7. There were no significant differences on the width of the uncinate process base, the inclination angle of the uncinate pro-cess and the inclination angle of inferior endplate(except for C3) of C3-C7(P>0.05). Then, using the mean value of the left and right sides as the width of the base of uncinate process, the height of uncinate process, and calculating the sum of inclination angle of the uncinate process, the sum of inclination angle of inferior endplate of the upper vertebra and the difference between the sums (the sum of inclination angle of uncinate process - the sum of inclination angle of inferior endplate of the upper vertebra), then calculating the mean value and standard deviation. Compared with the non-Hirayama disease patients, there were no significant dif-ferences on the uncinate process base, the distance of the uncinate process and the sum of inclination angle of the uncinate process at the same segment of Hirayama disease patients (P>0.05), while the height of the uncinate process and the sum of inclination angle of uncinate process of Hirayama disease patients were sig-nificantly smaller than those of the control group, respectively(P<0.05), and the differences between the sums were larger than those of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusions: Hirayama disease patients may possess a dysplasia in the luscka joint, manifesting the nonuniform development of the uncinate indicators. Lower unci-nate process and smaller inclination angle of inferior endplate of the upper vertebra are common, The conse-quential cervical instability may play a significantly important role in the pathogenesis and progress of Hi-rayama disease.
