ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the CD44v6 and heparanase in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC ) and adjacent normal lung tissues ,and to study the correlation of these two molecular in non-small cell lung cancer invasion and metastasis .Methods The expressing of CD44v6 and heparanase in 117 patients with non-small cell lung cancer tissues and 62 adjacent normal lung tissue was detected by immunohistochemical staining .Results The expression of CD44v6 in NSCLC was 54 .7% (64/117) ,which was sig-nificantly higher than in adjacent tissues of 4 .8% (3/62)(P<0 .05);the expression of heparanase in NSCLC was 86 .3% (101/117) ,which was significantly higher than the normal adjacent tissues 17 .7% (11/62)(P<0 .01);CD44v6 expression in NSCLC ex-pression was positive correlated with heparanase .Conclusion CD44v6 and heparanase are associated with the invasion and metasta-sis of NSCLC ,combined detection of the expression of the two molecular maybe has a certain reference value in determine the prog-nosis of NSCLC .
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical outcome of external fixation device with Kirschner wire or fragment fixation pin with mini plate and screw fixation in treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal articular fracture dislocation. Methods From October 2002 to March 2008, 106 patients with metacarpal and phalangeal articular fracture dislocation were randomly divided into A and B group. The 53 patients in A group were treated with external fixation device with Kirschner wire or fragment fixation pin. There were thumb injury in 24 cases, fracture-dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint(PIP) in 36 cases, fracture-dislocation of metacarpophalangeal joint (MP) in 17 cases. The 53 patients in B group were treated with mini plate and screw fixation. There were thumb injury in 22 cases, fracture-dislocation of PIP in 30 cases, fracture-dislocation of MP in 23 cases. Duncan rating criteria were used to compare finger range of motion. Results The mean follow-up of 16.8 and 17.5 months in A group and B group. According to Duncan rating criteria, there were excellent in 33 cases, good in 16, fair in 3, and poor in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 92.5% in A group. There were excellent in 30 cases, good in 17, fair in 5, and poor in 1 case. The excellent and good rate was 88.7% in B group. In A group, 1 case of wound infection was found. The average arc of motion of thumb joint was 134°±21° while the average arc of motion of other fingers was 248°±19°. In B group, no wound infection occurred. The average arc of motion of thumb joint was 122°±18° while the average arc of motion of other fingers was 225°±17°. Conclusion External fixation device with Kirschner wire or fragment fixation pin was better than the application of mini plate and screw fixation in treatment of metacarpal and phalangeal articular fracture-dislocation.
