cases were histologically confirmed to be patients with squamous cell carcinoma, 4 cases to be patients with adenocarcinoma. The majority of the patients received stereotatic radiotherapy on the basis of external radiation. The single dose for stereotatic radiation was 5~10Gy, once every two days, 4~8 fractions, the total dose was 26~42 Gy by using 5~6 non-coplanar stationary beams or arc radiation. The patients′ CT was checked 2~3 months after treatment, there were 8 cases of CR( 26.7%), 18 cases of PR(60%),4 case of NR (13.3%).The median survival time was 12 months and the survival of 1 year and 2 years was 84 % and 61.2% (using Kaplan-Meier methods). The total effective rate was 86.7%. The results suggested that stereotatic radiotherapy (SRT) is effective for lung cancer at palliative and radical treatment. Combined with external irradiation, it can increase the doses of target and shorten the course of treatment.

Objective To investigate the role of psychological intervention in the prevention of the temporomandibular joint disease (TMD) , through the observation of the relative changes in the rat TMJ under psychological stress after psychological intervention. Methods The rat model of communication box was built to exert the psychological stress. The antianxiety agent was applied before stress, and the stressor was removed after stress. The expression of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1 and TNF-α in the mandibular condylar chondrocytes in rat TMJ was detected by ELISA and RT-PCR. Results The RT-PCR results showed that the expression of IL-1 mR-NA increased into the peak in the 1st week, weakened in the 3rd week, and returned to normal in the 5th week, while the TNF-αmRNA peaked in the 1st week, returned to normal in the 3rd week. The ELISA results showed that there was no significant difference of the OD value of the serum IL-1 and TNF-α(0. 095 ±0. 006,0. 077 ± 0.007,0.069 ±0.009 ;0.079 ±0.010,0.075 ±0. 009,0.079 ± 0.012) in the antianxiety agent group (0. 107 ± 0.024,0. 101 ±0.005,0.088 ±0.010)and the stressor removal group(0. 090 ±0.016,0. 088 ±0.005,0.089 ± 0.011) , compared with the control group(0.087 ±0.004,0.090 ±0.009,0.089 ±0.010;0.074 ±0.008,0.069 ±0.015,0.068 ±0.011) (P>0.05), while significant differences were observed when compared with the psychological stress group(0.282 ±0.045,0.226 ±0.021,0.092 ±0.002;0. 164 ±0.009,0.123 ±0.013,0.091 ± 0.006) (P<0.05 ). Conclusion Application of the antianxiety agent and stressor removal could effectively counter the influence of psychological stress to TMJ, which provides good experience for the clinical prevention of TMD.

Background:Secondary lymphoid tissue chemokine( SLC)is involved in lymphoid homing and anti-tumor immune response,and has a chemotactic effect on intestinal lymphocytes. Several animal studies have shown that SLC is involved in the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis( UC). Aims:To investigate the expression and significance of SLC in UC. Methods:Forty active UC patients from Dec. 2010 to Dec. 2012 at Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University were enrolled,and 20 healthy volunteers were served as controls. Expression of SLC in the colon mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry,and its relationship with severity of UC was analyzed. Results:SLC was positively expressed in all UC patients,while was negatively or weakly positively expressed in controls. Expression of SLC in UC patients was significantly higher than that in controls(4. 16 ± 0. 78 vs. 0. 52 ± 0. 11,P<0. 05). Expression of SLC was correlated with the severity of involvement of UC. Conclusions:Expression of SLC participates in development and progress of UC. SLC may play an important role in the induction of local damage and pathological changes of UC.

Objective To observe the correlation between long-term chronic pharyngitis and rheumatic heart vavular disease (RHD) caused by to long-term latent chronic rheumatic activity and to understand the progressive course of rheumatic heart vavular disease. Methods In 1126 cases with chronic pharyngitis, 319 cases with serum antistreptolysin O (ASO) level between 400-500 U/ml were followed-up. ASO, creatine kinase enzyme MB (CK-MB) and echocardiography were measured for follow-up since 1986. Of the 319 cases, 158 were male and 161 were female with the average age of 29.4 years old. By the end of 2009, 6 cases were lost during follow up, data of 313 cases including 155 male patients and 158 female patients whose average age was 49.6 were analyzed. As the number of every kind of rheumatic heart vavular lesion was so fewer for statistical analysis that the data were only listed in tables. The student's t test was performed to compare of the ASO, CK-MB between the group with vavular lesionss and the group without vavular lesion. Results ①Of the 313 cases, 9 cases suffered from rheumatic fever at the fourth year since 1986, and 29 cases had rheumatic fever 1, 2 or 3 years after the ASOs decreased to lower than 400 U/ml and no one developed heart valvular lesion.②Two hundred and seventy-five cases whose ASO in the range of 400-500 U/ml but with normal CK-MB were found by the end of 5, 10, 15, 20 years, 9, 42, 65, 78 cases had developed heart vavular diseases respectively. ③ The levels of CK-MB in the heart valvular disease groups were significantly higher than those in the non-vavular disease group, while the levels of ASO were not. Conclusion Some of the cases suffering from long-term chronic pharyngitis can have high levels of ASO, but with normal CK-MB. These patients may have latent long-term chronic rheumatic activity and develop rheumatic heart valvular disease years later.
