Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognosis of primary esophageal small cell carcinoma (PESC).Methods Fifty-five patients with PESC were analyzed retrospectively.The survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the Log-rank test using SPSS 17.0 software.Results The median survival time of 55 patients was 12 months.The 6,12,24.36months survival rates of these patients were 87.3 ％ (48/55),50.9 ％ (32/55),12.7 ％ (7/55),7.3 ％ (4/55),respectively.In multivariate analysis,stage and type of treatment were shown to be independent predictive.Conclusion PESC is a malignant tumor with early metastasis and poor prognosis.Combined therapy may improve the survival time of PESC patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of maintenance chemotherapy for patients who had local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and was responsive to primary radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Methods:One hundred and twenty patients with stage ⅢA or ⅢB NSCLC received 4 cycles of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy. The 63 patients who achieved certain remission were randomly divided into maintenance chemotherapy group(n=33) and control group(n=30). The patients in maintenance chemotherapy group (treatment group) received vinorelbine (20 mg/m2, d 1 and d 8, per 28 d a cycle) and those in control group were not given maintenance chemotherapy. The clinical efficacy, survival rate and adverse reaction of the two groups were evaluated. Results:There are a longer median time to progression(TTP) in treatment group compared with control group (8.5 month vs 5.0 month, P<0.05). The 1-and 2-year survival rates were 66.7% and 36.4% in the treatment group and 60.7% and 32.1% in the control group, respectively. The difference between the survival rates of two groups was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:Maintenance vinorelbine-based chemotherapy prolonged the median time to progression but had no effect on survival time in patients with local advanced NSCLC who responded to induction chemotherapy.

Objective To explore the methods and curative effect of metallic self-expanding stent in inoperable malignant gas-troduodenal obstruction. Methods The data of 15 cases with gastroduodenal obstruction including 9 cases of carcinoma of head of pancreas and 6 cases of carcinoma of stomach were analyzed retrospectively. The operative procedures of the stent implanted and the tors accepted more radiation dose because the manipulation was under the fluoroscopy in a short distance and with a full field of view. sions, the postoperative eating habit and the development turnover of disease. The main death reasons were tumor transfer and sys-tem exhaustion. Conclusion To pay close attention to the details and main points of operative procedure is the key point to implant stent successfully for malignant gastroduodenal obstruction. The determinative factor to influence the curative effect is the develop-ment turnover of tumor.

Objective To investigate the reference intervals of lipid metabolism indexes and dyslipidaemia situation among the a-dult of Tibetan in Ganzi County .Methods The serum samples were collected from 661 healthy subjects in Ganzi county ,total cho-lesterol(TC) ,triglyceride(TG) ,high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) ,low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C) ,apoli-poprotein A1(ApoA1) and apolipoprotein B(ApoB) levels were measured .According to the American Society for Clinical Laborato-ry Standards(CLSI) C28-A3 documentation and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) guidelines for establishing of reference interval with reasonable method and reliable basis ,the interval value of this lipid metabolism indexes were calculated .The dyslipidemia situation was analyzed based on "The Guideline of Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipi-demia in Chinese Adults in 2007".Results In these population ,TG ,LDL-C and ApoB in the serum of male were higher than those of female ,while HDL-C and ApoA1 were lower than those of female ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .TC , LDL-C and TG level had a change tendency with ages obviously ,while the changes of HDL-C ,ApoA1 and ApoB metabolism level were not inconspicuous .In this population ,TC ,LDL and ApoB reference intervals were 2 .75 -6 .82 mmol/L ,1 .36 -4 .3 mmol/L and 0 .24-1 .38 mmol/L respectively .The reference interval of TG ,LDL-C and ApoA1 in male population were 0 .5-2 .36 mmol/L ,0 .9-1 .93 mmol/L and 0 .82-1 .87 mmol/L respectively ,meanwhile ,the reference range of TG ,HDL-C and ApoA1 in female population were 0 .47-3 .19 mmol/L ,0 .96-2 .19 mmol/L and 0 .94-2 .02 mmol/L respectively .The incidence of dyslipidemia in Tibetan adults was high ,the incidence of hypercholesterolemia ,hypertriglyceridemia ,mixed hyperlipidemia and low high-density lip-oprotein were 32 .07% ,21 .18% ,12 .86% and 6 .51% respectively .Conclusion In this research ,we established the reference inter-val of blood lipid metabolism indexes of Tibetan adults in Ganzi county and analyzed the incidence of hyperlipidemia in this popula-tion initially .This results provide reference data for clinical intervention treatment of patients with hyperlipidemia in Tibetan popu-lation in Ganzi area ,which is helpful for guiding the prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia in this region .
