Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of preoperative inflammatory and nutritional condition detection in the postoperative survival, and establish a prognostic model for predicting the survival of patients with gastric cancer. Methods: The clinicopathological data of 1123 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical gastrectomy in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital from January 2005 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with history of other malignancy, with history of gastrectomy, who had received preoperative treatment, who died during the initial hospital stay or first postoperative month, and missing clinical and pathological information were excluded. Cox univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify independent clinicopathological factors associated with the survival of these gastric cancer patients. Cox univariate analysis was used to identify preoperative inflammatory and nutritional indexes related to the survival of patients with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. Moreover, the Cox proportional regression model for multivariate survival analysis (forward stepwise regression method based on maximum likelihood estimation) was used. The independent clinicopathological factors that affect survival were incorporated into the following three new prognostic models: (1) an inflammatory model: significant preoperative inflammatory indexes identified through clinical and univariate analysis; (2) a nutritional model: significant preoperative nutritional indexes identified through clinical and univariate analysis; and (3) combined inflammatory/nutritional model: significant preoperative inflammatory and nutritional indexes identified through clinical and univariate analysis. A model that comprised only pT and pN stages in tumor TNM staging was used as a control model. The integrated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (iAUC) and C-index were used to evaluate the discrimination of the model. Model fitting was evaluated by Akaike information criterion analysis. Calibration curves were used to assess agreement between the predicted probabilities and actual probabilities at 3-year or 5-year overall survival (OS). Results: The study cohort comprised 1 123 patients with gastric cancer. The mean age was 58.9±11.6 years, and 783 were males. According to univariate analysis, age, surgical procedure, extent of lymph node dissection, tumor location, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, and nerve invasion were associated with 5-year OS after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer (all P<0.050). Multivariate analysis further identified age (HR: 1.18, 95%CI: 1.03-1.36, P=0.019), maximum tumor size (HR: 1.19, 95%CI: 1.03-1.38, P=0.022), number of examined lymph nodes (HR: 0.79, 95%CI: 0.68-0.92, P=0.003), pT stage (HR: 1.40, 95%CI: 1.26-1.55, P<0.001) and pN stage (HR: 1.28, 95%CI: 1.21-1.35, P<0.001) as independent prognostic factors for OS of gastric cancer patients. Additionally, according to univariate survival analysis, the preoperative inflammatory markers of neutrophil count, percentage of neutrophils, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/neutrophil ratio and preoperative nutritional indicators of serum albumin and body mass index were potential prognostic factors for gastric cancer (all P<0.05). On the basis of the above results, three models for prediction of prognosis were constructed. Variables included in the three models are as follows. (1) Inflammatory model: age, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, percentage of neutrophils, and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio; (2) nutritional model: age, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, and serum albumin; and (3) combined inflammatory/nutritional model: age, maximum tumor size, number of examined lymph nodes, pT stage, pN stage, percentage of neutrophils, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and serum albumin. We found that the predictive accuracy of the combined inflammatory/nutritional model, which incorporates both inflammatory indicators and nutrition indicators (iAUC: 0.676, 95% CI: 0.650-0.719, C-index: 0.698),was superior to that of the inflammation model (iAUC: 0.662, 95% CI: 0.673-0.706;C-index: 0.675), nutritional model (iAUC: 0.666, 95% CI: 0.642-0.698, C-index: 0.672), and TNM staging control model (iAUC: 0.676, 95% CI: 0.650-0.719, C-index: 0.658). Furthermore, the combined inflammatory/nutritional model had better fitting performance (AIC: 10 762) than the inflammatory model (AIC: 10 834), nutritional model (AIC: 10 810), and TNM staging control model (AIC: 10 974). Conclusions: Preoperative percentage of neutrophils, NLR, and BMI have predictive value for the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. The inflammatory / nutritional model can be used to predict the survival and prognosis of gastric cancer patients on an individualized basis.

Abstract
Lymphadenectomy, as one of the controversial foci in clinic, is an extremely important part of radical surgery for gastric cancer. So far, the preliminary consensus has been reached on the scope and number of lymph node dissection, based on the etiological mechanism, disease progression, diagnosis and treatment prognosis of gastric cancer. At present, some clinical issues of lymphadenectomy in curative gastrectomy are still need to be addressed. Firstly, standardized procedure in lymph node dissection for gastric cancer is a prerequisite to decrease the incidence of postoperative complications and to improve the prognosis of gastric cancer patients. Furthermore, the plausible treatment strategy in perioperative phase is also deemed as the other key method to offer a benefit of survival rate for advanced stage patients after lymphadenectomy. Last but not least, the technologies for enhancement the prediction accuracy of lymph node metastasis preoperatively or intraoperatively should be worthy in-depth study.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of combination treatment of photodynamic therapy (PDT) based on photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and antibiotic agent tinidazole (TNZ) against periodontitis both in vitro and in vivo. Methods: The Sprague-Dewley (SD) rat periodontitis model was constructed using the method of orthodontic wire ligation. After successful modeling, SD rats were randomly divided into the following 6 groups (3 rats in each group): positive control (Ctrl+), Ce6, TNZ, a mixture of Ce6 and TNZ (Ce6/TNZ), Ce6 with laser irradiation (Ce6+L), a mixture of Ce6 and TNZ with laser irradiation (Ce6/TNZ+L). Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to assess the cytotoxic activities of Ce6 (concentration range: 0-20 mg/L), TNZ (concentration range: 0-16.6 mg/L) and their mixture (Ce6/TNZ) in mouse fibroblast L929 cells. Fluorescence probe method was applied to measure the production of reactive oxygen species in the dental plaque biofilms after various treatments with and without 5-minute laser irradiation at 635 nm at a power density of 0.5 W/cm2 (Ce6+L and Ce6/TNZ+L groups), thus to evaluate the PDT performances. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and live/dead staining were used to assess the antibacterial activity in each of the groups and the combination index (CI) of PDT combined with TNZ was calculated subsequently. Flow cytometry was utilized to detect the apoptosis-inducing effects of these treatments in macrophage RAW264.7 cells after processing with the apoptosis detection kit. The inhibitory effects of various treatments on the absorption of alveolar bone of SD rats were further evaluated in the periodontitis rats by using the micro-CT. Results: The survival rates of L929 cells in the preset concentration range were all above 90% in Ce6, TNZ and Ce6/TNZ groups. Upon laser irradiation, the plaque biofilms in Ce6 and Ce6/TNZ groups showed significant green fluorescence, indicating that large amounts of reactive oxygen species were triggered and generated significantly in the dental plaque biofilms. However, the survival rates of dental plaque microorganisms in 5 Ce6/TNZ concentrations were (85.4±5.5)%, (76.0±8.9)%, (61.7±0.6)%, (56.3±2.6)% and (43.5±0.6)% respectively, which were significantly lower than that in Ce6 only and TNZ only groups (P<0.01). The CI levle of each drug concentration group was less than 1.0, which showed a significant synergistic antibacterial efficiency. Stronger apoptotic activities were observed in Ce6+L and Ce6/TNZ+L groups compared with those in Ce6 only and Ce6/TNZ only groups (P<0.01). In periodontitis rats, Ce6/TNZ combined laser irradiation could effectively inhibit the absorption of alveolar bone. The alveolar bone volume and the ratio of bone volume and tissue volume were (1.49±0.07) mm3 and (47.08±0.71)%, respectively. The distances between cementoenamel junction to alveolar bone crest on buccal and palatal sites decreased to (2.13±0.07) mm and (1.94±0.10) mm respectively, showing a high inhibition efficiency. Conclusions: Ce6-mediated PDT combined with TNZ possessed notable synergistic effects against periodontitis, reflecting in the efficient antibacterial effect, the apoptosis-inducing action on macrophages, and the inhibitory efficacy on the alveolar bone absorption in vivo.

Abstract
Objective To develop and validate the efficacy of a 3D‐printed screw‐rod auxiliary system for unstable atlas fractures. Methods This research is a retrospective analysis, and a total of 14 patients, including 11 males and three females, were enrolled in our hospital from January 2017 to March 2019 who underwent occipitocervical fusion assisted by the 3D‐printed screw‐rod auxiliary system were reviewed, and with an average age of 53.21 ± 14.81 years, an average body mass index (BMI) of 23.61 ± 1.93 kg/m2. The operation time, blood loss and radiation times during the operation were recorded. The maximum fracture displacement values of pre‐ and post‐operation were measured based on CT imaging. All screw grades were evaluated after surgery. The occipital‐cervical 2 (O‐C2) angle and occipitocervical inclination (OCI) angle of pre‐operation, post‐operation and the last following‐up were measured. The dysphagia scale 3 months after surgery and at the last follow‐up, the Neck Disability Index (NDI) 3 months after surgery and at the last follow‐up were assessed. Results All patients were completed the surgery successfully. There was no patient with severe dysphagia or aggravation of nerve injury. The follow‐up was from 12 to 14 months, and with an average of 12.5 months. The average surgery time, average blood loss and average radiation times for the 14 patients were 112.14 min, 171.43 mL and 5.07 times, respectively. There was a significant difference in maximum fracture displacement between pre‐ and post‐operation values (P < 0.05). A total of 56 screws were inserted in 14 patients, among them, three screws were classified as grade 1, and the other screws were classified as grade 0. There was a significant difference in the O‐C2 between pre‐operation and 3 days after operation (P = 0.002); There was a significant difference in OCI angles between pre‐operation and 3 days after operation (P < 0.05); there was no significant difference in the O‐C2 or OCI angle between 3 days after the operation and the last follow‐up (P = 0.079; P = 0.201). The dysphagia scales of two patients were assessed as mild at 3 months after surgery, and the others were assessed as normal at 3 months after surgery. All patients' dysphagia scores returned to normal at the last follow‐up. The average NDI and average neck Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores at the last follow‐up were 2.53 and 8.41, respectively. Conclusion It can objectively restore the OCI to normal with few post‐operative complications under the assistance of a screw‐rod auxiliary system to perform occipitocervical fusion for unstable atlas fractures and atlantooccipital joint instability.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effects of microRNA-126 (miR-126) on the proliferation of human myeloid leukemia mononuclear cells (THP-1)-derived macrophages in high glucose environment and the regulatory role of miR-126 in periodontitis with diabetes. Methods: THP-1 cells were cultured in vitro and 5 μg/L phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate was applied to induce THP-1 cells differentiating into macrophages for 48 h in low glucose culture medium (5.5 mmol/L). THP-1-derived macrophages were then cultured with low glucose, medium glucose (15 mmol/L) or high glucose (25 mmol/L) media respectively. The proliferation of THP-1-derived macrophages was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method and the expressions of miR-126 and proliferation-associated factors were detected by quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR). The miR-126 mimic or inhibitor was transfected into THP-1-derived macrophages for 72 h. The proliferation of cells was detected by CCK-8 method and the expressions of miR-126 or proliferation-associated factors were detected by qRT-PCR. Results: Increasing glucose concentration decreased the proliferation of THP-1-derived macrophages (day 7, A values in low, medium and high glucose groups were 0.369±0.014, 0.214±0.009 and 0.200±0.010, respectively, P<0.01) as well as the survival rate (P<0.05), promoted the expression of miR-126, B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein (BAX) and caspase-3 (P<0.05), and suppressed Bcl-2, phosphoinositol-3 kinase regulatory subunit 2 (PIK3R2) expression (P<0.05). After the miR-126 mimic was transfected in cells in low glucose medium for 72 h, compared with negative control (1.005±0.118), the expression of miR-126 significantly increased (2 980.227±170.431, P<0.05), and the proliferation of THP-1 derived macrophages decreased (negative control: 1.816±0.013, mimic group: 1.310±0.048, P<0.01), the level of BAX and caspase-3 significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), PIK3R2 and Bcl-2 significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). After the miR-126 inhibitor was transfected in cells cultured in high glucose medium for 72 h, compared with negative control (0.723±0.133), the proliferation of inhibitor group increased (0.984±0.049, P<0.05), the level of BAX and caspase-3 significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), PIK3R2 and Bcl-2 significantly increased (P<0.01, P<0.05). Conclusions: High glucose condition can inhibit the proliferation of THP-1-derived macrophages and increase the expression of miR-126. MiR-126 can inhibit the proliferation of THP-1-derived macrophages in high glucose environment through up-regulating the expression of BAX and caspase-3 and down-regulating the expression of PIK3R2 and Bcl-2.

Abstract
Objective: To verify clinical applicability of the non-special perioperative administration for enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) proposed by Japanese scholars in Chinese gastric cancer patients. Methods: The main measures of the non-special perioperative administration for ERAS are as follows: (1) discussion of multiple disciplinary team before surgery; (2) rehabilitation education for patients; (3) no routine bowel preparation before surgery; (4) placement of nasogastric tube for decompression routinely before operation and removal as early as 24 hours after surgery; (5) appropriate rehydration; (6) antibiotic prophylaxis before surgery; (7) place abdominal drainage tubes when necessary; (8) epidural patient-controlled analgesia and oral medication for postoperative pain management; (9) start low-molecular-weight heparin injection 48h after surgery and ambulation every day to prevent deep vein thrombosis; (10) postoperative dietary management and supplement with parenteral nutrition intermittently; (11) remove Foley catheter about 24 hours after surgery. A retrospective cohort study was performed, including 203 patients undergoing radical gastrectomy at Department of Gastroenterology, Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. Inclusion criteria were patients who were ≤75 years old without distant metastasis by preoperative examination, were diagnosed as gastric adenocarcinoma by postoperative histopathology and had complete clinicopathological and follow-up data. Patients with history of other malignancies and gastrectomy, extensive implantation of the abdominal cavity or malignant ascites by intraoperative exploration, death within 1 month after surgery, and residual gastric cancer were excluded. The perioperative management methods were chosen by patients. There were 123 patients who followed non-special perioperative administration for ERAS (non-special preparation group) and 80 patients who underwent traditional perioperative management (traditional method group). The primary outcomes (postoperative hospital stay, time to the first flatus, time to the first fluid diet, time to the first ambulatory activity, morbidity of postoperative complication, mortality, and readmission rate) and secondary outcomes (operative time, intraoperative blood loss and postoperative pain score) were compared between the two groups. Results: Compared to the traditional method group, the non-special preparation group had shorter time to the first flatus [(3.6±1.1) days vs. (4.8±1.4) days, t=3.134, P=0.003], shorter time to the first liquid diet [(2.6±0.9) days vs. (5.5±1.6) days, t=15.105, P<0.001], shorter time to the first ambulatory activity [(1.9±0.5) days vs. (4.1±1.1) days, t=8.543, P<0.001] and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(9.6±2.3) days vs. (12.9±2.3) days, t=5.020, P<0.001]. Besides, incidences of pancreatic leakage [6.5% (8/123) vs. 16.3% (13/80), χ(2)=4.964, P=0.026], lymphatic leakage [1.6% (2/123) vs. 13.8% (11/80), χ(2)=11.887, P=0.001], peritoneal effusion [2.4% (3/123) vs. 10.0% (8/80), χ(2)=4.032, P=0.045], and gastroparesis [0.8% (1/123) vs. 7.5% (6/80), χ(2)=4.657, P=0.031] in the non-special preparation group were significantly lower. The overall morbidity of postoperative complications and incidences of pulmonary infection and intestinal adhesion were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). As for the secondary outcomes, compared to the traditional method group, the non-special preparation group had less intraoperative blood loss [(80.4±24.4) ml vs. (100.5±19.4) ml, t=3.134, P=0.003] and lower postoperative pain score [postoperative day 1: (4.4±0.3) vs. (5.3±0.8), t=2.504, P=0.037],while the difference in operative time was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion: The non-special perioperative administration for ERAS proposed by Japanese scholars is effective and safe, which has certain clinical applicability and value for Chinese patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the accuracy and safety of a combined 3D printed guide template (combined template) to assist iliosacral (IS) screw placement for sacral fracture and dislocation. Methods A total of 37 patients, 24 men and 13 women, age from 22 to 68 years old, diagnosed with a sacral fracture and dislocation were involved in this study for retrospective analysis from January 2016 to February 2018. There were 19 patients in the template group (42 screws) and 18 patients in the conventional group (31 screws). In the combined template group, IS screw placement was assisted by a combined 3D printed template; in the conventional group, the IS screws were placed freehand under fluoroscopy. The accuracy of the IS screw placement was evaluated by comparing the screw angle and the location of the screw entry point between the actual and the simulated screw in the combined template group. The safety of the IS screw placement was evaluated by comparing the quality of the reduction, the grading of the screws, the operation time, and radiation exposure times between groups. Results A total of 73 pedicle screws were placed in 37 patients: 42 screws (30 S1, 12 S2) in the combined template group and 31 screws (23 S1, 8 S2) in the conventional group. In the conventional group, 1 patient developed symptoms of L5 nerve stimulation. In the combined template group, the average operative time of each screw was 25.01 ± 2.90 min, with average radiation exposure times of 12.05 ± 4.00. In the conventional group, the average operative time of each screw was 46.24 ± 9.59 min, with an average radiation exposure time of 56.10 ± 6.75. There were significant differences in operation and radiation exposure times between groups. The rate of screw perforation was lower in the combined template group (2 of 42 screws, 0 at grade III and 2 at grade II) than in the conventional group (5 of 38 screws, 2 at grade III and 3 at grade III). In the combined template group, the mean distance between the entry points of the actual and simulated screws was 1.4 ± 0.9 mm, with a mean angle of deviation of 2.1° ± 1.6°. All patients were followed up once every 3 months and were followed for 3 to 12 months. Conclusion Using the combined template to assist with the insertion of IS screws delivered good accuracy, less fluoroscopy and shorter operation time, and avoided neurovascular injury as a result of screw malposition.

Abstract
So far, D2 lymphadenectomy has been recognized as the key one of the procedures in curative resection for gastric cancer. In summary, the standardized implementation of D2 lymphadenectomy can contribute to both surgical quality and patients' prognosis. Lymph node dissection, as an important basis for local surgical treatment of gastric cancer, involves certain technical risks due to complex adjacent relationship and anatomical variation of organs or blood vessels, and so on. There is a certain incidence of side injuries in D2 lymphadenectomy for a surgeon, regardless of the experience of learning curve. Complying with specification of surgical procedures and summarizing the vital points of lymph node dissection in each curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer is the principal method to reduce or avoid the occurrence of relevant complications after surgery.

Abstract
The microstructure and magnetic properties of the FePt films grown on large mismatched ZrN (15.7%) intermediate layer were investigated. With using ZrN intermediate layer, FePt 10 nm films exhibited (001) texture except for some weaker FePt (110) texture. Good epitaxial relationships of FePt (001) <100>//ZrN (001) <100>//TiN (001) <100> among FePt and ZrN/TiN were revealed from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results. As compared with TiN intermediate layer, although FePt-SiO2-C films grown on ZrN/TiN intermediate layer showed isotropic magnetic properties, the large interfacial energy and lattice mismatch between FePt and ZrN would lead to form columnar structural FePt films with smaller grain size and improved isolation. By doping ZrN into the TiN layer, solid solution of ZrTiN was formed and the lattice constant is increased comparing with TiN and decreased comparing with ZrN. Moreover, FePt-SiO2-C films grown on TiN 2 nm-20 vol.% ZrN/TiN 3 nm intermediate layer showed an improved perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Simultaneously, columnar structure with smaller grain size retained.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the therapeutic efficacy of oral perforated defect reconstruction with a double anterior (anterolateral and anteromedial) thigh flap through the modified lateral lip-submandibular approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS From July 2010 to August 2013, eight patients with oral perforated defects secondary to oral cancer ablation involving the superior partial mandible or the posterior partial maxilla, with immediate reconstruction by double anterior (anterolateral and anteromedial) thigh flaps, were retrospectively enrolled into this study. RESULTS All double anterior flaps were musculocutaneous flaps. Seven double flaps resulted in good functional and aesthetic outcomes with complete flap survival. One patient required operative exploration in the postoperative period due to thrombosis in the external jugular vein. After the salvage, one of the double flaps in the intraoral region resulted in partial failure of the superficial skin of the flap. No functional impairment at the donor sites occurred in any of the cases. CONCLUSION The double anterior (anterolateral and anteromedial) thigh flap is a feasible and acceptable technique for reconstruction of an oral perforated defect involving the mandible or the maxilla through the modified lateral lip-submandibular approach. It presents a very acceptable aesthetic and functional result with the additional advantage of low morbidity at the donor site.

Abstract
Our aim was to fix intracapsular condylar fractures (ICF) with two resorbable long screws using preoperative computer-assisted virtual technology. From February 2008 to July 2011, 19 patients with ICF were treated with two resorbable long screws. Preoperatively we took panoramic radiographs and spiral computed tomography (CT). Depending on their digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) data, the dislocated condylar segments were restored using the SimPlant Pro™ software, version 11.04. The mean (SD) widths of the condylar head and neck from lateral to medial were 19.01 (1.28)mm and 13.84 (1.13)mm, respectively. In all patients, the mandibles and the ICF seen intraoperatively corresponded with the preoperative three-dimensional and virtual reposition. All patients were followed up for 6-46 months (mean 21). Occlusion and mouth opening had been restored completely in all but one patient, and absolute anatomical reduction was also achieved in most cases. Computer-assisted virtual technology plays an important part in the diagnosis of ICF, as well as in its preoperative design. Fixation with only two resorbable long screws is an effective and reliable method for fixing ICF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the added value of preoperative computerized tomographic angiography (CTA) and three-dimensional reconstruction of the lower limb in vascularized fibular flap transfer. METHODS Eighteen patients who underwent mandibular or maxillary reconstruction with a vascularized fibular flap were studied retrospectively by image analysis. The original DICOM data of preoperative CTA were analysed and applied to the reconstruction of the lower limb using SimPlant Pro software (version 11.04). RESULTS The course of the peroneal artery in 17 patients was the same except for one patient. The peroneal artery originates from the posterior tibial artery. The original external diameters of the peroneal artery were 2.99 ± 0.64 mm. The perpendicular lengths from fibular head to the origin of the peroneal artery and to the fibular perforator vessel were 42.88 ± 8.84 mm and 174.55 ± 25.62 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION The course of peroneal artery was relatively invariable, its original external diameter was thick. Preoperative CTA and three-dimensional reconstruction of the lower limb, which are noninvasive, accurate and direct-viewing methods, play an important, preoperative role in vascularized fibular flap transfer for lower limb vascular assessment.

Abstract
Isoptin SR was used in 65 essential hypertensive patients. 240mg Isoptin SR (German Knoll Pharmaceutical company) per day was used in group A (35 cases) for 6 weeks, and in group B (30 cases) for 24 weeks, BP in group A and B decreased obviously in the first and second week after treatment. Marked effective rate and total effective rate were 65.7% and 74.3% respectively in group A, and 70.0% and 83.3% in group B. There were no significant changes of HR in group A before and after treatment while there was a decrease of HR in group B (P < 0.001). Left atrium (LA) decreased after 6 weeks in group A with an obvious increase of E/A ratio. There was significant decrease in LA, increase in E/A ratio, regression of IVS, LVPW and LVMI, but no changes in SV, CO, LVEF after 24 weeks of treatment of Isoptin SR in group B. E/A ratio was very sensitive and occurred earliest both in group A and group B. Side effects such as headache, dizziness, constipation, insomnia, peripheral oedema, sinus bradycardia occurred mainly in the first week of treatment. These symptoms disappeared gradually in the course of continued administration of Isoptin SR.

Abstract
We sought to examine how the discontinuation of octreotide in long-term octreotide-treated acromegalic patients affects the well-documented side-effect of cholelithiasis. In 14 acromegalic patients, serum growth hormone levels, insulin-like growth factor I levels and percentage of relative gallbladder contractility were measured prior to and after the discontinuation of octreotide. Compared to pretreatment values, the basal growth hormone and 5-h growth hormone profiles were 36% and 24%, and 60% and 56% at the end of 1 and 2 weeks, respectively. Octreotide was found to be eliminated completely from the serum within 3 days after its withdrawal. In all of six patients who did not develop gallstones, the percentage relative gallbladder contractility normalized within 1 week. In eight patients who developed gallstones, four of them had restoration of normal contractility within 2 weeks. Our results show that upon withdrawal of octreotide, gallbladder contractility returns to normal while growth hormone suppression persists for a longer period of time. Therefore, discontinuation of octreotide therapy may allow for the clearance of stagnated bile and hence decrease the incidence of cholelithiasis in acromegalic patients receiving long-term therapy.

Abstract
Serum SMC level was measured in acromegalic patients with different disease activity. The serum SMC level of 10 untreated and 15 treated patients with active disease was 30.5 +/- 17.6 and 23.8 +/- 16.3 KU/L respectively. These levels were significantly higher than the value 2.7 +/- 2.8 KU/L in 7 patients during remitting state. The serum SMC level correlated with the basal and the nadir GH level and the area under the GH curve in glucose suppression test. The serum SMC levels in 6 patients with prolactinoma, 10 patients with Grave's disease and 8 patients with renal failure were all in normal range, but in 10 patients with liver cirrhosis it was 0.36 +/- 0.39 KU/L, which was significantly lower than the normal value. We concluded that serum SMC level is a good criterion for assessment of disease activity of acromegaly for it does not require a dynamic test and it does not increase in other diseases.

Abstract
103,753 (male 51,994, female 51,759) primary and middle school students aged 6-15 years in two districts in Beijing city were surveyed from October 1987 to April 1989. The heights of the students were measured. According to the height standard of northern cities in China, 202 students with heights below the 3rd percentile for age were requested for detailed history, physical examination, screening GH test bone age, T4, SGPT, chest X-ray, routine urine test and sex chromatin (in female). If GH less than 10 micrograms/L, two provocative tests (L-dopa or clonidine and insulin hypoglycaemia test) were done. Then the heights of the short students were observed for 1/2-2 years. GHD was diagnosed in 12 cases based on the GH peak levels less than 10 micrograms/L in two provocative tests, whose growth velocity was slower than that for students of the same age and sex. Of these subjects with GHD, total GHD (GH less than 5 micrograms/L) was present in 7 and partial GHD (GH = 5-9.9 micrograms/L) in 5. The 12 GHD students (male 9, female 3) aged 8.9-15.7 years accounted for 1/8,646 in the total surveyed students. The male and female GHD accounted for 1/5,777 and 1/17,253 in the total males and females respectively.

Abstract
This article reports the efficacy and safety of treatment with Somatonorm in 9 children with idiopathic growth hormone (GH) deficiency in China. The growth velocity increased from 2.6 +/- 0.2 cm/year before treatment to 10.7 +/- 0.5 cm/year at the end of 1-year treatment. The increment of human growth hormone (hGH) level and area under the response curve above the baseline level were larger after one injection of Somatonorm at the dose of 0.1 IU/kg sc than that of 0.17 IU/kg im. Increments of delayed bone age were not significant. There was no correlation between the increase of height growth velocities and the serum Somatomedin-C (SMC) levels during hGH therapy (r = -0.055). Blood sugar levels and blood alkaline phosphatase concentrations increased significantly after therapy. There were no significant side effects. Serum T4 levels of 3 patients dropped below normal after treatment. Serum anti-hGH antibody appeared at 3-12 month in 2 patients, but it did not attenuate the growth velocity.

Abstract
Ten patients (seven women, three men) with active acromegaly, five previously treated and five newly diagnosed, were included in an open-label prospective trial of 3 daily subcutaneous injections of the long-acting somatostatin analogue SMS 201-995 (Sandostatin) at increasing doses in order to obtain maximum growth hormone (GH) suppression. Four patients had received surgery, radiotherapy or bromocriptine. SMS 201-995 doses were increased in a stepwise fashion from 100 micrograms every 8 h (three times daily) to 200, 300 and finally 500 micrograms three times daily at monthly intervals if mean serum GH values failed to decrease to undetectable levels in over 75% of the samples. The optimal dose was maintained for up to 28 months. Significant clinical improvement of headache, soft tissue swelling, facial features, hyperhidrosis and paraesthesia occurred in all patients. Mean 12-h GH levels were significantly suppressed in four patients and fell to normal values in four. Suppression of GH levels was not achieved in two patients. Comparison of the mean interindividual GH values shows that the optimal efficacious dose is 100 micrograms t.i.d. in 7/10 patients. Somatomedin-C (SM-C) was also significantly reduced to below 50% of pretreatment levels in nine patients in whom it was measured. The subsequent increments of SMS 201-995 up to 500 micrograms three times daily did not produce further clinically relevant GH or SM-C suppression. Pituitary tumour shrinkage occurred in five patients. Thyroid function remained normal. Impaired glucose tolerance occurred in four patients. Side-effects (diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort) were mild and transient. Asymptomatic gallstones occurred in three patients on 1500 micrograms/day and one patient on 600 micrograms/day after 6-12 months treatment. This dose-finding study shows that 100 micrograms three times daily SMS 201-995 is an effective therapy for most of the acromegalic patients we treated.

Abstract
Radioreceptorassay (RRA) for serum human growth hormone (hGH) using late pregnancy rabbit liver receptors is reported. The sensitivity was 90 +/- 11 pg per tube with high specificity and without cross-reactivity with other human pituitary hormones except prolactin (2.4% cross-reactivity). Accuracy of the assay was good and dilution curve of acromegalic serum parallel with standard curve. The coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-assay were 11.3-13.3 and 7.7-18.8%, respectively. The mean concentration of RRA hGH in 64 normal adults was 1.2 +/- 0.3 ng/ml. The level of RRA hGH was less than 1 ng/ml in 57 of 64 normal controls, while that of RRA hGH in 23 acromegalic sera was 98.7 +/- 33.7 ng/ml, the difference being highly significant (P less than 0.01). Thus, RRA hGH is a good index reflecting functional state of hGH.

Abstract
We have recently purified a novel pituitary polypeptide designated 7B2. By raising polyclonal antibodies to a synthetic 7B2 fragment in rabbits, we have developed a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay for this novel polypeptide, and it has been used for the study of the release of immunoreactive 7B2 from rat anterior pituitary cells in vitro. In addition, immunocytochemical study shows that 7B2 is present in the gonadotropin cells of rat anterior pituitary. The aim of the present studies is to investigate the effect of human beta-inhibin, testosterone, and combined testosterone plus human beta-inhibin on the induced release of immunoreactive 7B2, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH) in rat anterior pituitary cell culture in vitro. Our results show that both human beta-inhibin and testosterone effectively suppress the stimulatory effect of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) on immunoreactive 7B2, FSH, and LH release. The present data indicate that the regulation of secretion of 7B2 and pituitary gonadotropins may be under a similar type of feedback mechanism.

Abstract
We have recently purified a novel pituitary polypeptide, designated 7B2. Subsequently, we developed a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay (RIA) for this novel polypeptide. Our aim in the present study was to investigate the release of 7B2 from rat pituitary induced by various hypothalamic factors [luteinizing hormone-releasing factor (LH-RH), corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), and growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF)]. The anterior pituitaries were removed from rats and immediately dispersed enzymatically (a mixture of collagenase/dispase/deoxyribonuclease/chicken serum) and plated on collagen-coated multiwell plates in culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. After 2 days of attachment period, the medium was replaced with fresh medium every 24 h. The primary cell culture was incubated with various concentrations of LH-RH, CRF or GRF. Subsequently, the concentrations of IR-7B2, IR-LH, IR-FSH, and IR-ACTH released into the medium were quantified by specific RIA. LH-RH, at a concentration as low as 7.5 ng/ml (6 X 10(9) M: dose range 7.5-60 ng/ml) stimulated the release of IR-7B2, IR-LH, and IR-FSH, by 2- to 3-fold, 17- to 18-fold, and 3-fold, respectively, over basal levels. No significant increase of IR-7B2 was observed when stimulated by CRF or GRF at doses as high as 100 ng/ml. In addition, K+ (50 mM) stimulated the release of all the peptides measured. In conclusion, our studies suggest that the novel peptide 7B2 is under LH-RH control and indirectly confirm the immunohistochemical results of its cellular co-localization in FSH and LH cells.
