Loss of heterozygosity alterations associated with progesterone therapy in endometrial hyperplasia and adenocarcinoma

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was analyzed in four patients with endometrial hyperplasia (EH) with atypia (two patients) and without atypia (two patients) and in five patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma (EAC) to clarify the clinicopathologic relationship between genetic alterations and hormone therapy. Each patient was initially administered high-dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) as a uterine-sparing treatment. The five microsatellite markers used to analyze LOH were at chromosomal loci 8p22.1, 8p21, 8p21.3, 8p22, and 8p22. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded sections before, during, and after MPA therapy using laser capture microdissection. As a result, LOH was more frequently detected after MPA therapy (overall ratios were 16, 17, and 29% before, during, and after MPA therapy, respectively). LOH is more easily detected in EH loci than in EAC loci before MPA. For EAC, initial LOH detection on chromosome 8 may be related to an incomplete response to MPA, but negative LOH does not guarantee a favorable treatment outcome. For EH or atypical endometrial hyperplasia, it is unknown whether LOH alteration associated with MPA therapy is related to atypia of the disease.     

氢氧化钙预防根管治疗期间急症的临床观察

目的 观察氢氧化钙根管内封药对预防根管治疗期间急症的临床疗效。方法 使用氢氧化钙及传统根管内消毒药物樟脑对氯酚、甲醛甲酚根管内封药，观察疼痛指数并比较其根管治疗期间急症的发生率。结果 氢氧化钙封药后根管治疗期间急症的发生率最低，与传统药物相比，其差异有统计学意义。结论 氢氧化钙根管内封药。对预防根管治疗期间的急症有较好的作用。     

应用预控出血的包皮中远段环形剥除术治疗包皮过长

Objective To investigate the middle and distal circum peeling with bleeding control technique for redundant prepuce. Methods The middle and distal part of prepuce was eireum peeled with bleeding control and electrical scalpel. More preputial inner plate was reserved. Results From January 2004 to July 2008, 51 patients with redundant prepuce were treated with this procedure. The average blood loss was 1 ～2 ml with minimal edema. The proportion of inner and outer plates was suitable. Conclusions This teelmique has the advantages of minimal blood loss and slight edema. The cosmetic result is also satisfactory.     

磷酸钙水泥填充固定桡骨远端骨折的抗旋转生物力学研究

目的对磷酸钙水泥(CPC)填充固定桡骨远端骨折的抗旋转应力进行评价,并与传统的克氏针固定方法进行比较。方法18根人桡骨标本制备桡骨远端骨折伴骨缺损模型,随机分为三组:克氏针固定组、CPC固定组和CPC 克氏针联合固定组。设定扭转速度为5°／min,最大扭转角度为10°时停止。记录扭转刚度、10°内的最大扭矩及所对应的最大扭角。结果在10°的扭转范围内,CPC固定组、CPC 克氏针联合固定组的扭转刚度、最大扭矩均比克氏针固定组大,差异有统计学意义(P< 0．01);最大扭转角度分别为4．3°和5．0°,均比克氏针组(9．6°)小,差异有统计学意义(P<0．01)。CPC固定组与CPC 克氏针联合固定组之间的扭转刚度、最大扭矩及最大扭角差异无统计学意义(P> 0．05)。结论在旋转角度小于4°范围内,CPC的抗旋转固定强度要比克氏针大,超过这个范围,骨水泥就会发生断裂,CPC的有效固定范围比克氏针要小。     

苄丙酮香豆素对实验性大鼠肾草酸钙结石形成的影响

目的：探讨Vit．K拮抗剂苄丙酮香豆素(商品名华法令)对大鼠肾草酸钙结石形成的影响。方法：采用乙二醇饮水和氯化铵灌胃作成石剂，30只Wistar大鼠随机分为对照组(A组)、成石组(B组)、华法令组(C组)。饲养4周后，检测大鼠肾组织钙含量和草酸钙晶体形成、24h尿钙、尿草酸含量及血生化指标。结果：成石组和华法令组肾组织中钙、镁含量，24h尿草酸及尿钙、镁排泄量差异无显著性意义；镜下观察发现：华法令组大鼠肾脏草酸钙结晶形成多于成石组，但组间比较差异无显著性意义。结论：苄丙酮香豆素对大鼠肾草酸钙结石的形成无显著影响。     

自固化磷酸钙人工骨修复骨缺损的临床应用

目的:探讨自固化磷酸钙人工骨(CPC)填充修复骨缺损的临床效果。方法:骨缺损94例,男59例,女35例;年龄11~72岁,平均39.4岁。骨缺损部位:胸腰椎38例,跟骨25例,胫骨15例,股骨7例,肱骨近端3例,桡骨远端5例,近节指骨1例。骨缺损原因:骨折塌陷复位后骨缺损63例,骨髓炎20例,骨囊肿6例,骨纤维异常增殖症4例,内生软骨瘤1例。骨缺损范围为1cm×1cm~4cm×20cm,用CPC填充修复,CPC充填量为3~42g,其中单纯CPC填充修复74例(胸腰椎骨折行椎体成形38例,骨折复位后空腔充填25例,良性骨肿瘤病灶刮除后充填11例),载药CPC填充修复骨髓炎20例。结果:所有患者均获随访,随访时间14~48个月,平均29.6个月。全部患者术后未见过敏或毒性反应,无皮疹或高热,血钙、磷、碱性磷酸酶均正常,切口无瘙痒感。随访时X线片显示,植入CPC与宿主骨接触紧密,界面处未见间隙存在,骨缺损处的解剖形状完全或大部分恢复,未见脱落现象,随访时部分患者CPC部分降解成骨。9例发生术后伤口渗出,为淡黄色清亮稀薄分泌物,细菌培养阴性,经换药后伤口愈合良好。结论:CPC填充修复骨缺损安全有效,并发症少,是理想的骨替代品,载药CPC是治疗骨髓炎的理想方法。     

The radial forearm flap

Described in 1981 by the Chinese authors Yang Kuofan et al. [1] as a free flap, then in 1982 by Lu et al. [2] as a retrograde flow pedicle flap, this fasciocutaneous flap is designed at the level of the anterior and external faces of the forearm, and vascularized by the radial artery via a network of septal arteries. Prior to utilization it must be reversed on its distal pedicle. This flap allows repairing cutaneous substance loss of the whole hand and fingers. The emergence of the Chinese flap in the 1980’s resulted in a regression of the Mac Gregor groin flap that was widely used at this time [3,4]. Nevertheless, other forearm flaps, less “expensive” in terms of vascular involvement [5–9] have reduced its indications. The Chinese flap however keeps two essential indications: the multi-finger important defect that no other forearmflapmay cover; and composite substance loss of the thumb (despite the fact that the Chinese flap shares these indications with interosseous artery composite flaps).
