1.Adjuvant chemotherapy of stage Ⅱ colon cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(6):463-465
For stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients after surgery,the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy remains controversial.Several studies indicate that the patients with high-risk stage Ⅱ colon cancer can benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery.According to the clinical and pathological features,the stage Ⅱcolon cancer patients including T4 lesion,perforation,peritumoral lymphovascular invasion can benefit from the adjuvant chemotherapy of oxaliplatin.In the horizontal of molecular and genetic levels,the stage Ⅱ colon cancer patients can express high microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and cannot benefit from the chemotherapy of Fluorouracil.The guiding functions of 18q loss of heterozygosity (18q LOH),Cx43 and gene expression profiling in adjuvant chemotherapy are still unclear,and need further study.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical application of different perforator neurofasciocutaneous flaps at the distal legs for defects at the lower legs and feet.
METHODS24 patients with defects at the lower legs and feet were treated with five kinds of perforator neurofasciocutaneous flaps, including 7 flaps with the retrolateral supramalleolar cutaneous perforator, 2 flaps with the lateral retromalleolar perforator, 2 flaps with the higher cutaneous perforator of the peroneal artery, 8 flaps with the anterolateral supramalleolar cutaneous perforator of the peroneal artery, 5 flaps with the medial supramalleolar cutaneous perforator of the posterior tibial artery. The flap size ranged from 5 cm x 4 cm-14 cm x 12 cm.
RESULTSPartial necrosis occurred at the distal end of flap in one case. All the other flaps survived completely with primary healing. 15 cases were followed up for 1-36 months with satisfactory cosmetic and functional results.
CONCLUSIONSSuitable perforator neurofasciocutaneous flaps at the distal legs can be selected for differently located defects at the lower legs and feet, leaving comparatively less morbidity at donor site.

Objective To evaluate the value of echocardiography in diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) in children. Methods The shape, size, echogenicity, distribution of vegetations and valvular function of the heart were observed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in 30 patients with suspected IE. We correlated TTE ifndings with the results of hemoculture and serologic test. Results Vegetations were observed in all patients by echocardiography:seven patients with tricuspid valve vegetations, two with mitral valve vegetations, three with pulmonary valve vegetations, three with main pulmonary artery vegetations, three with aortic valve vegetations, two with aortic valve abscess, and two with vegetations in right atrium. After anti-infection therapy, the size of vegetations in iffteen patients became smaller and the less echogenic than before. Vegetations disappeared in two patients. Vegetation was recurrent repeatedly in one case. Ten patients recovered after operation. Two severe cases died. Five patients underwent TTE again one week after the previous negative TTE. Of them, echocardiography demonstrated vegetations in three cases. However, no vegetations were found in rest two cases because antibiotics had been used at early stage. In addition, echocardiography demonstrated one patient with mitral valve vegetation. But the lesion was ifnally conifrmed to be operating suture. The sensitivity and specificity of TTE in detecting vegetations were 88.0% and 80.0%, respectively. Blood cultures were positive in twenty-seven cases and were negative in three cases. Conclusions The early diagnosis of IE is important to improve patient′s prognosis. It takes a long time in organism cultivation before achieving the clinical diagnosis. TTE can help obtain an early diagnosis stage of IE, and provide the assessment of size and location of vegetation. It plays an important role in treatment and prognosis prediction.
