ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish the reference for serum metabolomics profiles among healthy Han adults in China, and explore the variation on metabolomics profiles by geographic regions, sex, and age.Methods:Cross-sectional data and serum samples were obtained from the China National Health Survey. A total of 1 039 male and 1 032 female healthy adults(≥30 years) were included in this study. Serum metabolomics analyses were conducted with ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS). Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) was performed to compare the differences of metabolomics among different region, sex, and age.Results:Significant differences on metabolomics profiles were identified among region, sex, and age. A total of 114 region-related metabolites were spotted, including 53 metabolites that involved in human metabolic pathways, mainly peptides(20 metabolites) and glycerophospholipid metabolism-related(14 metabolites). Fifty-nine metabolites were pinned down to be sex-related, among which cotinine was significant in all 7 provinces. Age-related metabolites were only found in Shaanxi and Hainan, with 22 metabolites were recognized.Conclusion:Serum metabolomics varies by geographic regions, sex, and age. When metabolomics is applied for diagnosis or biomarker screening in various studies, it shall take into consideration of setting tailored references.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of primary exchange reamed nailing (ERN) and augmentation compression plating (ACP) combined with autogenous bone grafting (ABG) on health-related quality of life in patients with dystrophic or atrophic nonunion of femoral shaft after intramedullary nailing. Methods The study used a prospective study method. Sixty- two patients with femoral shaft nonunion after intramedullary nailing from August 2010 to October 2016 were selected, and the patients were divided into ERN group (group A, 32 cases) and ACP group (group B, 30 cases) by random digits table method. In group A, isthmus nonunion was in 18 cases (56.2%), and non-isthmus nonunion in 14 cases (43.8%); in group B, isthmus nonunion was in 16 cases (53.3%), and non-isthmus nonunion in 14 cases (46.7% ). The health- related quality of life was compared between 2 groups, including physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) in the- 12- item short form health survey (SF- 12), brief pain inventory- severity (BPI- S) and brief pain inventory- interference (BPI- I). Results Fifty-four patients were followed-up for more than 1 year, and the mean follow-up time was 18.3 (13 to 37) months. All patients successfully achieved bone union, and the mean time was 5.8 (4 to 8) months. Significant improvements in terms of SF-12 PCS and SF-12 MCS score were noted after operation for patients with isthmus nonunion in both groups (t=3.148, 2.156, 2.456 and 2.559; P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences before and after operation in group A with non-isthmus nonunion (P >0.05). At the last follow-up, SF-12 PCS and SF-12 MCS in group B were significantly improved compared with those in group A: (45.2 ± 5.8) scores vs. (33.6 ± 4.7) scores and (48.8 ± 6.5) scores vs. (39.4 ± 5.6) scores, and there were statistical difference (P<0.05); SF-12 BPI-S and BPI-I showed obvious relief: (4.6 ± 2.1) scores vs. (6.2 ± 2.5) scores and (5.2 ± 1.9) scores vs. (6.8 ± 2.7) scores, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05); however there were no statistical difference in SF-12 PCS, SF-12 MCS, BPI-S and BPI- I between 2 groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with ERN combined with ABG, ACP combined with ABG can significantly improve the quality of life in patients with dystrophic or atrophic nonunion of femoral shaft after intramedullary nailing. It has greater advantage on the improvement of health-related quality of life, especially for patients with non-isthmus nonunion.

Of the 11 PLB cases, 3 cases were at stage ⅠE, 2 at stage ⅡE, 6 at stage ⅣE respectively. 6 cases were treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, 2 cases with total joint arthroplasty and chemotherapy, and 3 cases chemotherapy alone respectively. 5 cases got complete remission, 4 cases partial remission and 2 cases stable disease respectively. The median progression free survival was 17 (5-58) months after a median follow up of 21 (6-58) months.@*Conclusions@#Most of PLB patients were clinically in late stage lacking of clinical and imagine features. The optimal treatment for PLB was radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy, and its prognosis was relatively good.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of L-asparaginase (L-ASP) combined with GDP regimen in initial treat-ment of patients with extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL). Methods:A total of 39 patients preliminarily diagnosed with nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma in Zhengzhou University Affiliated Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2012 to January 2014. All patients received L-ASP combined with GDP chemotherapy. The efficacy of the treatment was observed (L-ASP 6000/m2, qod × 8;gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2, d1, 8;cisplatinum 90 mg/m2, d1;dexamethasone 10 mg, d1-4) every 21 days for one cycle. The efficacy and toxicity of the regimen were evaluated after therapy. Results:Of the 39 patients who received median six-cycle L-GDP regimen treat-ment, 24 achieved complete response, 7 had partial response, 6 had stable disease, and 2 had progressive disease. The rates of overall response (CR+PR), 2-year progression-free survival, and overall survival were 79.5%(31/39), 71.8%(28/39), and 87.2%(34/39), respec-tively. The primary side effects included gastrointestinal reaction, bone marrow suppression, and increased PT and APPT levels. All pa-tients tolerated and completed the therapy without termination of treatment and death. Conclusion:L-ASP combined with GDP regi-men is effective and safe and thus can be used for patients with ENKL.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the related risk factors of re-nonunion after primary revision for femoral shaft nonunion subsequent to failed intramedullary nailing. Methods A retrospective study was performed in 61 patients with femoral shaft nonunion subsequent to failed intramedullary nailing from June 2008 to June.All patients were divided into re-nonunion group(22 cases)and non-re-nonunion group (39 cases) according to diagnostic criteria of bone re-nonunion. Univariate analysis was used to analyze 14 factors that may lead to the occurrence of re-nonunion after revision for femoral shaft nonunion subsequent to failed intramedullary nailing including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcohol abuse, injury reason, fracture types, intramedullary nail types, locking screws technology for intramedullary nail, bone nonunion sites, bone nonunion time, pathological types of bone nonunion, primary revision methods and autologous bone graft or not, and multi-factor logistic regression analysis was performed on the factors showing a significant difference. Results Univariate analysis showed significant difference in smoking (χ2= 6.564, P = 0.036), BMI (χ2= 6.783, P = 0.021), bone nonunion sites(χ2=7.316,P=0.011),primary revision methods(χ2=8.069,P=0.003)and autologous bone graft or not(χ 2=6.668,P=0.027).Logistic regression analysis showed that primary revision methods(OR=1.027,95% CI 0.028-0.463,P<0.05)and autologous bone graft or not(OR=1.024,95% CI 0.006-0.363, P < 0.05) were independent risk factors for re-nonunion after revision of femoral shaft nonunion subsequent to failed intramedullary nailing. Conclusions Primary revision methods and autologous bone graft or not are independent risk factors for re-nonunion after revision of femoral shaft nonunion subsequent to failed intramedullary nailing.By strictly controlling the surgical indications and combining with autogenous bone grafting,it is possible to reduce the occurrence of nonunion after primary revision of the femoral shaft nonunion subsequent to failed intramedullary nailing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the relationship of right internal jugular vein (RIJV)and common carotid artery (CAA)by scanning strictly from the anterior to posterior using ultrasound at different head rotation.Methods Using ultrasonic scanning,the anatomic features of RIJV and CAA both at thyroid cartilage level (prominentia laryngea level)and at the apex of the angle formed by the division of the sternocleidomastoid muscle (triangle level)with 0°,1 5°,30° and 45° right rotation were observed in 131 patients with ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ (male 55 cases,female 76 cases, aged 18~74 years).Based on the ultrasound images,the safe puncture range,the overlapping ratio, the angle between the horizontal axis and the line from the midpoint of RIJV to that of CAA (αangle) were measured.In addition,the relationship between the RIJV and CAA was defined as anterior-lat-eral, lateral, posterior-lateral or extremely-posterior-lateral position according to α angle. Results The safe puncture range of RIJV augmented as head rotated from 0° to 30° position(P <0.05);The safe puncture range of RIJV at triangle level was significantly higher than at prominentia laryngea level at all the four head positions(P <0.05).The overlapping degree decreased as head rota-ted from 0°to 30°head position at prominentia laryngea level(P <0.05).No siginificant differences of the overlapping degree were found between head positons at triangle level;The overlapping degree at triangle level was less than at prominentia laryngea level when at 0°and 1 5°head positon(P <0.05). At both prominentia laryngea and triangle levels,RIJV located mainly at lateral and posterior-lateral positions.In addition,the part of lateral position increased while the part of posterior-lateral position decreased as the head rotated from 0°to 45°position(P <0.05).Conclusion The puncture conditions for RIJV catheterization were more optimal at 30°to 45°head rotation for a safer puncture range and less overlapping between RIJV and CAA.RIJV located mainly at lateral and posterior-lateral positions at different rotations and RIJV gradually shifted to lateral position while head rotation increasing.It would be much better to select triangle level for central venous catheterization than prominentia laryn-gea level.

The objectives of this study are as follows:1) to explore the expression level of alpha hydroxybutyric acid dehydrogenase (α-HBDH) in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and its prognostic significance;and 2) to analyze the relationship amongα-HBDH, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and beta 2-microglobulin (β2-MG), so as to evaluate their diagnostic and prognostic sig-nificance. Methods:The expression levels of serumα-HBDH, LDH, andβ2-MG were examined in 104 patients with NHL before and after treatment. The relations among the levels of serum LDH,α-HBDH, andβ2-MG, as well as their connection with the patients' age, gender, disease stage, and pathological type, were explored. Results:Serumα-HBDH level increased in 35%of the patients and showed a significant correlation with LDH andβ2-MG. Significant differences were observed forα-HBDH andβ2-MG at different stages but not for LDH. Significant differences were observed betweenα-HBDH and LDH for different pathological types, but none was found inβ2-MG. The three serum enzymes did not exhibit any significant difference for different ages and genders. Levels of serum LDH andα-HBDH showed considerable difference between pre-treatment and post-treatment of patients. Serumβ2-MG level did not show any significant change after two or three cycles of chemotherapy. Conclusion:The expression level of serumα-HBDH increases in patients with NHL, is positively correlated with the levels of LDH andβ2-MG, and is highly relevant to disease stage and pathological type, regardless of the patients' age and gender. Serumα-HBDH is expected to be a new NHL indicator for tumor load, disease severity, and prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the adult hemophagocytic syndrome' s pathogeny,clinical features,prognostic factors and therapeutic options.Methods 18 cases of adult hemophagocytic syndrome were analyzed,the Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to investigate the total survival rate,and 17 clinical pathological factors and clinical treatment methods which may influence survival were analyzed by Log-rank test in the univariate analysis.Results In this group of patients,EBV infection and malignant lymphoma were the most common initiating diseases.The most common clinical features were peripheral cytopenia in two or three lineages (100 %),fever (83 %),splenomegaly (78 %),swollen lymph nodes (56 %).The mortality rates as high as 66.7 %.The median survival time was 7.4 weeks.One-way ANOVA results showed that the initial symptoms as fever (P =0.039),age > 30 years old (P =0.031),enlargement of the liver (P =0.041),Hb < 100 g/L and Ph < 50 g/L (P =0.039) were relevant prognostic factors.Conclusion Adult hemophagocytic syndrome patients with fever as the initial symptoms,age > 30 years old,liver enlargement,Hb < 100 g/L,Plt < 50 g/L indicates poor prognosis,thus these patients having HPS risk factors should be given active chemotherapy and supportive therapy.

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the epidemiology, clinical and pathological characteristics,treatment and prognosis of Richter's syndrome (RS). Methods The clinical and laboratory feature,treatment, prognosis of two cases were reported, and the related literature was reviewed. Results The major symptom of two cases suffered with enlarged lymph nodes, and pathological examination indicated a diffuse large B cell lymphoma. A large number of mature small lymphocytes were found in peripheral blood and bone marrow, and the immune phenotype was consistent with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. CHOP regiment was used on two cases. One obtained complete remission, and the other cases partial remission. Conclusion RS may occur at early stage after CLL diagnosis. In some cases, the diagnosis of RS and CLL are concomitant.Prognosis of some patients of RS is unfavourable. It was important to take biopsy at early stage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinic efficacy and adverse effects of four-weekly pirarubicin combined with COP (CTOP-28) regimen in aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients with bone marrow involvement. Methods 65 aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases with bone marrow involvement (BMI)from January 2002 to January 2007 were chosen, who were newly diagnosed according to 2001 World Health Organisition (WHO) classification. The response rate and adverse effects of CTOP-28 regimen were retrospectively compared with standard CHOP-21 regimen in these patients. CHOP-21 regimen:eyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2(day 1), vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum 2 rag, day 1), adrimycin 50 mg/m2 (day1), prednisene 100 nag (day 1 to 5). CTOP-28 regimen: cyclopbosphamide 750 mg/m2 (day 1, 15), vincristine 1.4 mg/m2 (maximum 2 rag, day 1,8,15,22), pirarubicin 25 mg/m2 (day 1,2 and 15,16), prednisone 40 mg/m2(day 1 to 28). Results The complete remission rate (CRR) in CHOP-21 group was less than in CTOP-28group (40 % vs 80 %, P<0.05). The incidence of 3 and 4 degree blood toxicity in CTOP-28 was more than in CHOP-21 (100.0 % vs 50.0 %, P <0.05), but incidence of 1 and 2 degree cardic toxicity was similar as CHOP-21 (8.57 % vs 10.0 %, P>0.05) and 3 and 4 degree cardic toxicity did not occurred in both groups.The gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and renal toxicities at only 1 and 2 degree took place and no difference wasfound between two groups. No therapy-related mortality occurred in these patients. Conclusion CTOP-28regimen is more effective, safer for aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients with BMI as induction treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of adriamycin, bleomyein, vincristine and dacarbazinum (ABVD) chemotherapy scheme executed at day I and day 8 for primary Hodgkin's lymphomas (HL). Methods 62 patients with primary HL in stages Ⅱ-Ⅳ treated in our department from October 2005 to October 2006 were divided into group A and B at random with 31 patients in each group. The patients in group A received ABVD chemotherapy scheme executed at day 1 and day 8 for 6-8 cycles. The patients in group B received ABVD chemotherapy scheme executed at day 1 and day 15 for 6-8 cycles. The patients of the groups received radiotherapy by the same doctor after chemotherapy according to the patients condition and the radiotherapy regimens were not affected by the grouping. Results The complete remission rate (CR)in group A after chemotherapy was 90. 3% (28/31);the one-year and two-year disease free survival (DFS) rates were 87. 1% (27/31) and 80.0% (20/25)respectively. The CR rate in group B after chemotherapy was 83.9% (26/31);the one-year and two-year DFS rates were 80. 6% (25/31)and 72. 0% (18/25) respectively. The discrepancy of CR rates and the one-year and two-year DFS rates between the two groups was not significant (P>0.05). The incidences of therapeutic side effecte such as myocardial iscnemia grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ liver function impair-ment,pulmonary fibrosis and serious marrow inhibition between the two groups were not significant too (P > 0.05). Average chemotherapy period for the patients in group A was 159 days; it was 69 days shorter than that in group B. Conclusion The CR rate,1-year DFS rate and 2-year DFS rate of ABVD chemotherapy scheme executed at day 1 and 8 are similar to those of ABVD chemotherapy scheme executed at day Ⅰ and 15 for primary HL in stages Ⅱ-Ⅳ. The side-effects of chemoterapy between group A and B are similar too. The chemotherapy period in group A is shortened significantly.
