Ameloblastic fibroma (AF) is a benign tumor, it is a true mixed tumor composed of neoplastic epithelium and mesenchymal. This tumor is rare, and it almost arises in the mandible. A 22-years old female patient referred AF in the maxillary was present. The tumor was asymptomatic, except the right facial bulge. The radiograph showed a well-circumscribed neoplasm with several low density cysts involving the right maxillary and ethmoid. The lesion was enucleated and the material was sent for histopathologic examination. Microscopically, it was composed epithelium and mesenchymal with histopathological diagnosis of ameloblastic fibroma.

Objective To investigate the efifcacy of thalidomide combined with VAD in treatment of elderly multiple myeloma(MM). Methods 76 cases of elderly MM were randomly divided into two groups, control group (n=38) were treated with VAD alone while the observation group (n=38) were treated with thalidomide and VAD. Clinical efifcacy and adverse reactions in two groups were compared. Results The total effective rate in observation group was 84.21%, which was signiifcantly higher than 55.26%in control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the M protein, myeloma cells andβ2-microglobulin in observation group were (20.77±4.15)×10-2μg/mL, (12.84±2.85)×10-2μg/mL and (2.48±0.53)μg/mL, which were signiifcantly lower than before treatment and control group(P<0.05). Hemoglobin in observation group was (108.83±5.81) g/L, which was signiifcantly higher than before treatment and control group(P<0.05). The adverse reactions were nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, constipation, infection and rash and so on in two groups after treatment, and there was no signiifcant difference between two groups. Conclusion Thalidomide combined with VAD regimen has a better effect in treatment of elderly multiple myeloma than single VAD, has less adverse reactions and well tolerated.

Objective To observe the influences of different anesthesia methods or adjuvant chemotherapy on hemorheological parameters in patients with cervical cancer.Methods Sixty pa-tients with cervical cancer were equally randomized into two groups.Patients in group A received three courses of chemotherapy preoperatively while those in group B did not.The patients of group A and B were divided respectively into two subgroups,combined epidural general anesthesia group (groups A1 and B1),general anesthesia group (group A2 and B2).Blood samples were taken for the hemorheological measurement at 5 min before induction of anesthesia,60 min after induction of anes-thesia and at the end of surgery.Results Red cell deformability index (EDI)was significantly lower in group A than that in group B;Erythrocyte rigidity index (ERI)and blood viscosity were higher in group A compared with those in group B (P <0.05).In groups A1 and B1,EDI,plasmic viscosity packed ERI,and ERI were all lower than those before anesthesia induction (P < 0.01 );while in groups A2 and B2 Hct decreased.Conclusion The patients of cervical cancer after chemotherapy showed some hemorheological changes characterized by a lowered EDI.Combined general and epidural anesthesia can significantly improve the above parameters.

Objective To evaluate clinical use of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR) method in low-dose scan on children temporal bone by comparison of radiation dose delivered by GE Discovert HD CT 750 scan and GE Lightspeed VCT64 scan.Method Sixty patients with congenital deafness were divided into two groups according to gender,age (each N =30).Group a received low-dose CT scan on temporal bone by GE Discovery HDCT 750 (preset NI =12),and the original images were reconstructed with ASiR (weighted value =40％).Group B received CT scan by GE Lightspeed VCT 64 (preset NI =8),and the original images were reconstructed with filter back projection (FBP).Data were collected and analysed using the SPSS 18.0 software.Resultes The mean value of electric current of average tube and CTDIvol were significantly different between group A and B [(110.40 ± 21.72) mA vs.(168.56±24.36) mA,and (26.43 ±3.48) mGy vs.(39.66 ±4.17) mGy,respectively (t=-9.76,-3.31,P＜0.05)].The noise index was (33.13 ±2.68) in group A and (33.79 ±2.93) in group B respectively,and the results had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Subjective scores of the images were (4.06 ± 0.03) and (4.05 ± 0.03),with no statistical significance either (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions On a condition of achieving same image quality,CT scan program using GE Discovery HD CT 750 with 40％ ASiR reconstruction and 4 units NI value enhancement could effectively reduce radiation dose on children's temporal bone compared to FBP method using GE Lightspeed VCT 64.
