Objective:To explore the efficacy and adverse reaction of TOMOX regimen combined with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy in the treatment of middle and advanced esophageal cancer. Methods:51 cases of hospitalized patients with esophageal cancer were selected from January 2013 to December 2015 in our hospital who were divided into observation group (n=27) and control group (n=24) by random number table method. The control group was treated with three dimensional conformal radiotherapy, and the observation group was added with the TOMOX scheme based on the control group. Compare the efficacy of the two groups, the control period, the survival period, the toxicity and side effects.Results: The rate of complete response(CR)and partial response (PR) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The total effective rate of the observation group was 96.30%, which was significantly higher than that of the control group 58.33% (P<0.001). The 2 year control rate and 2 years survival rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of acute radiation pneumonia and gastrointestinal reaction in observation group was lower than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The neuritis rate and leukopenia of observation group was lower than the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05). The rate of acute esophagitis in the observation group group was higher than that in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion: TOMOX combined with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy can effectively improve the short-term efficacy and long-term survival rate, reduce adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate whether echocardiography left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and NT-proBNP could be an early detective marker for patients with untypical NSTE-ACS. Methods A total of 248 ACS cases admitted to the emergency department of our hospital from January 1,2015 to June 31,2016 were retrospectively reviewed. The data included age,gender,past medical history,D-dimer,MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase(CK-MB),cardiac troponin I(cTnI),the precursor of the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),electrocardiogram(ECG)before treatment,and the CK-MB,cTnI and LVEF,the treatment of percuta-neous coronary intervention(PCI)or thrombolytic by drugs. Survival condition and time from onset to death were recorded. According to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis ,receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC curve)and fitting curve were drawn. The association between the LVEF and NT-proBNP before the treatment and prognosis of ACS was analyzed. Results NSTE-ACS patients with chief complaint of chest pain were less than those of STE-ACS(33.6% vs. 70.1%,P=0.003). Pre-hospital time was longer than that of STE-ACS group(67.92 ± 116.89 vs. 30.65 ± 55.59,P = 0.006). CTNI(4.37 ± 12.53 vs. 9.62 ± 18.00,P=0.011)and LVEF(53.51 ± 14.51 vs. 56.26 ± 12.30,P=0.019)were less than that of the STE-ACS group. NT-proBNP was higher than that of the STE-ACS group(2288.37 ± 4612.10 vs. 1506.84 ± 1722.51,P=0.038). mortality rates was higher than the STE-ACS group((15.3%vs. 6.8%,P=0.036). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LVEF values was correlated to 28-day death(B =-0.097 ,P=0.022). The ROC curves showed that LVEF values was negative correlated with the 28-day death. However,combination of LVEF and NT-proBNP was better than single LVEF values. LVEF values was negative correlated with the NT-proBNP(r =-0.263,P=0.001), LVEF values had greater and longer survival time(B=0.401,P=0.045)but NT-proBNP was not related to surviv-al time.(B=0.00,P=0.931). Conclusion LVEF and NT-proBNP are correlated with the early risk assessment of patients with ACS,but was not correlated with the time from onset to death. The decrease in LVEF values at the early stage of NSTE-ACS may be helpful to indicate the critical condition of the ACS patients.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the effect and safety of bilateral stereotactic radiofrequency amygdalohippocampectomy (SAHE) for treatment of bilateral medial temporal lobe epilepsy (BMTLE). Methods Twelve BMTLE patients were treated with bilateral SAHE under limited coagulations. Clinical parameters were evaluated with the programs of Engel′s classification, Liverpool Seizure Severity Scale (LSSS) 2.0, Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) and Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R), respectively. Results Five patients (42%) were assessed as EngelⅠwith 12 ~ 62-month follow-up. Seizure severity scores were declined sharply compared with the baseline of the patients with out seizure free. Function of memory and intelligence was transiently declined without statistical significance immediately after operation (P >0.05), but was significantly increasedat 6 months after operation (P < 0.05). Conclusion Bilateral SAHE could terminate seizures or reduce seizure severity in patients with BMTLE. Under the circumstance of limited coagulations, neuropsychological function was improved along with seizure control.

Objective To understand the clinical features of splenic tuberculosis. Methods The clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, treatment outcomes of a case of splenic tuberculosis caused by hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed. Related literatures about splenic tuberculosis were also reviewed. Results The patient was a 19-year-old male. Cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss were the main manifestations. Thoracoscopy revealed tuberculosis and imaging suggested splenic tuberculosis and tuberculosis in multiple body sites. Anti-tuberculosis treatment was effective in improving patient conditions. According to literature review, there are two types of splenic tuberculosis: primary splenic tuberculosis or as part of hematogenous pulmonary tuberculosis.The clinical manifestations of primary splenic tuberculosis are usually atypical. Immune deficiency is a significant risk factor of splenic tuberculosis. The main clinical manifestations of splenic tuberculosis are splenomegaly, fever, digestive system symptoms, and occasionally spontaneous splenic rupture (3/32). Most of the patients with splenic tuberculosis (28/32) were cured or improved by anti-tuberculosis treatment and/or splenectomy. Conclusions The onset of splenic tuberculosis is mostly insidious and clinical symptoms usually atypical. The diagnosis relies on radiographic findings, biopsy and pathological examination. Anti-tuberculosis and selective splenectomy are the effective treatment. The outcome of splenic tuberculosis is good in most patients.
