Objective To evaluate the prognostic factors of spinal metastases by recursive partitioning analysis (RPA)and establish a decision tree model that can guide clinicians to select individualized treatment.Methods Between January 2011 and December 2015,three institutional databases were searched to identify 169 patients with metastatic spinal tumors underwent surgery.The ratio of male and female was 1.48:1 (102 males and 67 females).The average age was 59.2±11.1 years.One-hundred eighteen cases of patients were randomly selected as training samples and the remaining 51 cases were verified samples.Preoperative factors were collected and analyzed by RPA methods,including primary tumor,KPS score,Frankel grade,gender,age,visceral metastasis,bone metastasis,spinal metastasis,blood glucose,blood pressure,surgery site,symptoms,surgery interval,serum albumin level and other risk factors.Pearson's Chi-square test was performed to judge the segmentation point of the decision tree model.The decision tree model is built using the Chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHIAD) algorithm and sensitivity and specificity was automatically calculated.Results The median postoperative survival time was 12.6±1.2 months [95％CI(10.1,15.0)].70％ were randomly selected as the experimental group (118 cases),and 30％ were the verification group (51 cases).The sensitivity was 96.9％.The specificity was 89.8％.The Kappa coefficient was 0.874 in the experimental group.The sensitivity was 95.4％.The specificity was 90.8％.The Kappa coefficient was 0.810 in the test group.The prognostic factors (weight from high to low) based on RPA were Frankel grade (F=8.132,P=0.005),the primary tumor and the KPS score (Equal,F=9.871,P=0.000 and F=1 1.945,P=0.003),serum albumin and movement time (Equal,F=7.566,P=0.018 and F=9.966,P=0.008).The decision tree model consists of 7 types.Survival time was 51 months,18 months,13 months,8 months,4 months,5 months,9 months in the class Ⅰ～Ⅶ,respectively.According to the difference of RPA survival time,the operation was classified as 3 grade.Total spinal resection was regarded as grade 1,including class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ,with an average survival time of over 18 months.Limited operation was regarded as grade 2,including class Ⅲ,Ⅴ and Ⅶ with survival time in 6-18 months.The conservative treatment was regarded as grade 3,including class Ⅳ and Ⅵ with the survival time was less than 6 months.Conclusion The decision tree model based on RPA for predicting the survival time of spinal metastases can not only identify the prognostic factors,but also classify and grade various prognostic factors;the decision tree model is simple and can guide clinicians to choose the best surgical plan by predicting the survival time.

Objective To clarify the temperature curve of the irradiation target area,its adjacent tissue and the whole body during extracorpereal microwave irradiation, then to compare and optimize different irradiation models. Methods Different parts of the chest of adult New Zealand white rabbit were irradiated using different extracorporeal microwave irradiation models. The temperature of the irradiated skin, the subcutaneous and deep parts, the adjacent tissues and the anus was measured. The experiment was bi-factor and multi-level designed according to the repeatedly measured data and the rabbits was divided into group a,b,c and d. Results The increase rate of the surface temperature in the dorsal lung was similar between group d and group b1(F=10.04,P<0.01). However,the increase rate of the surface temperature in the ventral lung of group d was lower, and the mean temperature of this site measured 10 minutes later was also lower than group b1(F=10.04,P<0.01). The increase rate of the rectal temperature of group d was higher,and the mean rectal temperature tested 10 minutes later was also higher than group b1(F=7.04,P<0.01). Conclusions Multi-array irradiation could achieve satisfactory irradiation depth and appropriate therapeutic temperature. Well controlled extracorporeal microwave irradiation under is an ideal thermotherapy method.

Objectives:To study the effects of gene therapy with tissue type plasminogen activator(t PA)cDNA on the formation of thrombo embolism in vascular anastomotic sites. Methods:①The cDNA encoding t PA was amplified by RT PCR using the isolated total RNA as the template from the Bowes melanoma cells.②Recombinant plasmid pAdCMV t PA was cotransfected into 293 cells with pJMa 17 ,and the infectious but replication deficient AdCMV t PA was generated.③The rats were randomly divided into the control and treatment groups.11 0 nylone medical suture was applied to perform rat carotid artery end to end anastomoses.In the treatment group,AdCMV t PA solution was injected into the vascular anastomotic site while AdCMV (no containing t PA DNA) solution was injected into the control group. By means of RT PCR and chromogenic plasmin substrates,the following results were obtained. Results:①The t PA cDNA was successfully cloned and its eukaryotic expressing vector was constructed.②When the isolated RNA was performed with RT PCR,1.69 kb band appeared in the treatment group while the band could not be found in the control group.The t PA activity could be detected postoperatively on the 1st,2 nd,3 rd,4 th,5 th,6 th,7 th,10 th and 13 th day of the treatment,but could not be detected in the control group. Conclusions:The t PA gene can produce t PA having biological activity at anastomotic sites, possibly prevent the formation of thrombus embolism effectively and develop the anastomotic patency.
