Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) was the preferred method of non-operation treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Radical resection of HCC remains difficult,extrahepatic metastasis was not easy to deal with,and repeated treatment aggravated the liver injury,so the long-term efficacy was poor.Sorafenib could control tumor angiogenesis and block the proliferation of tumor cells.A male patient with primary HCC and in the stage Ⅱb according to the Chinese clinical liver cancer staging system was treated by TACE combined with sorafenib and antiviral treatment in Henan Cancer Hospital.After the treatment,the intrahepatic lesions were inactive,and the pulmonary metastasis was partially relieved.The patient was followed up till May 2012,and the survival time was 39 months.The hepatic function was normal,and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication was negative.No intervention treatmentrelated complications were detected,and the KPS score was 100.

The survey aims at probing into the current development of medical instruments in hospitals and computerized quality control,upgrading the competence of hospital engineering departments and guiding the development of medical clinical engineering.Questionnaire surveys were made to the medical engineering departments of 195 hospitals above secondary hospitals in Zhejiang,totaling 1001 professionals.The results indicate significant differences among hospitals of various scales in terms of deployment of medical engineering Professionals,working conditions,and computerized applications,yet a consistency in academic title promotion and training requirements.In this consideration,it is imperative to build the team,maintain consistency in professional certification of medical engineering professionals,build a regular and systematic examination,promotion and certification system,enhance training in professional knowledge and equipment quality control,as well as promoting information and resources sharing.All these efforts are essential for better quality control and management of medical engineering departments,and promoting computerized management of medical instruments.

Objective To assess the influence of allergic rhinitis(AR)on the quality of life and anxiety and depression symptoms in the elderly.Methods Retrospective analysis of elderly patients with AR treated at our hospital from January 2015 to October 2016 was conducted on quality of life and anxiety and depression symptoms.The participants were investigated using the rhino-conjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire(RQLQ),self-rating depression scale(SDS)and self rating anxiety scale (SAS).The correlation between SDS,SAS and RQLQ was also analyzed.Results RQLQ scores of AR patients in 7 demensions were higher than those of healthy individuals (P＜ 0.05 for all).The scores of SAS(44.8±10.1 vs.40.7±4.9)and SDS(46.7 ±12.2 vs.41.3±4.8)in AR patients were also higher than in healthy individuals (F =21.59 and 26.63,respectively,each P＜ 0.01).Furthermore,anxiety and depression symptoms were significantly associated with seven RQLQ dimensions.Conclusions Compared with healthy individuals,elderly patients with AR has poor quality of life,which is further negatively impacted by increased anxiety and depressive symptoms.Appropriate intervention measures should be taken to alleviate anxiety and depressive symptoms and enhance quality of life for elderly patients with AR.

Objective To investigate the expressions of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) subtypes in human endometrial carcinoma tissues. Methods Thirty samples of normal endometrial tissue and 66 endometrial carcinomas were investigated using western blot assays and reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. Results (1)Both ER? and ER? mRNA were significantly increased in endometrial carcinoma compared with that in normal endometrium tissues. The relative value of ER? and ER? mRNA in endometrial carcinoma was 8.00?7.77, 3.84?2.57 and that in normal endometrium tissues was 4.15?3.55, 0.41?0.29, respectively. (2) Decreased levels of PR, PRA, PRB protein and PR mRNA were associated with endometrium carcinogenesis (P

Objective To understand the schistosomiasis epidemic situation among migrant population,so as to assess the potential risk of schistosomiasis transmission in Haining City. Methods Five districts in Haining City were randomly selected to investigate the schistosomiasis endemic situation in migrant population from the schistosomiasis endemic provinces. Results Totally 1207 persons were investigated and four positives were found in serological tests,with the positive rate of 0.33%,but no patients were found in pathologic tests. The positive cases in serological tests were mainly between 31-40 years old,with the pos-itive rate of 1.68%,which was higher than that of other age groups( χ2 = 6.590,P < 0.05). Conclusion The schistosomiasis surveillance work in migrant population still should be strengthened in Haining City.

Objective To investigate the conventional MRI and perfusion weighted imaging (PWI) features of central neurocytoma(CNC), and to evaluate the potentiality of them in diagnosing accuracy. Methods Three patients with CNC proved pathologically were collected, 4 patients with ependymoma were as control group, with conventional MRI and perfusion weighted imaging were performed in all of them. MRI features were observed, and relative regional cerebral blood volume (rrCBV) were calculated.Results CNCs were isosignal on T_1WI, hyperintense on T_2WI, minimal enhancment. Ependymomas were hypointense or isosignal on T_1WI, slightly hyperintense or hyperintense on T_2WI and minimal enhancement. On PWI, CNCs were obviously high-perfusion, rrCBV was 11.2, but which was 2.1 in ependymoma, there was statistically signifcant difference between two groups(P

Objective To investigate the value of MR perfusion weighted imaging(PWI) features in typing meningioma preoperation.Methods MR perfusion weighted imaging was performed on 39 patients with pathologically proved meningioma.The relative regionalcerebral blood volume(rrCBV) and relative mean transit time(rMTT) were calculated.Results The rrCBV and rMTT of angioblastic meningiomas were 11.8 and 1.8,which were higher than that of the others subtype.The rrCBV of meningothelial meningiomas andtransitional meningiomas were 8.3,7.5 respectively,the rMTT of them were 1.5 and 1.3,there was statistically significant difference in rMTT between two groups,but no difference in rrCBV.The rrCBV of fibrous meningiomas was 4.0,which was lower than that of the others.Conclusion PWI is very useful in typing meninigioma preoperation.
