A female patient with a dark red mass in the of preauricular area for over 3 months was hospitalized. Enhanced CT scan and ultrasonography showed that the mass had clear boundaries and was rich in blood supply. The patient was misdiagnosed as preauricular hemangioma, then the mass was removed as a benign tumor and found irrelevant to parot, SMA(+), Vim(+), S-100(+), indicating myoepithelial carcinoma. So a radical excision was performed to get negative incised margin. The patient didn't undergo postoperative chemotherapy but demonstrated no evidence of recurrence over a 12-month follow-up.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of pingyangmycin local injection under suspension microlaryngoscopy for treatment of laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma. Methods The total of 44 cases of patients with laryngopharyngeal or laryngeal hemangioma were randomly divided into the experimental group ( n=22 ) and the control group (n=22). They were treated with bleomycin 5 mg or pingyangmycin 4-8 mg injection under suspension microlaryngoscopy in the hemangioma, respectively. If the treatments were not curative, repeated one more times in intermittent 15 d, but not more than 3 times. Therapeutic effect and adverse effect were recorded and analyzed. Results The total effective rate (95. 4%)in the experimental group was significantly better than that (59. 1%) in the control group (P<0. 05),and side reaction in two groups showed no significant variation. Conclusion Pingyangmycin local injection for treating laryngopharyngeal and laryngeal hemangioma is effective, less adverse reaction.

Objective To study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cognitive dysfunction in patients with leukoaraiosis (LA). Methods 48 cases of moderate or severe LA with cognitive dysfunction were divided into 2 groups: the experimental group accepted hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) besides routine therapy, while the control group accepted routine therapy only. Both groups were assessed with Montreal cognition assessment (MoCA). Results The scores of MoCA in patients in the experimental group improved after treatment（P<0.05）, and was more than that of the control group（P<0.05）. Conclusion HBO can improve the cognitive function in patients with LA.

ObjectiveTo search detecting urine transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) of type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) in diagnosing early diabetic nephropathy in old patients.MethodsTGF-β1,microalbumin,microglobulin α1 and microglobulin β2 in urine from 53 cases of old type 2 diabetics and 27 cases of normal controls were detected.ResultsTGF-β1 was(21.2±7.32) ng/mmolCr in diabetics whose urine albumin were normal and was(58.79±25.93) ng/mmolCr in diabetics whose urine microalbumin was abnormal(P<0.01).Both were significantly higher than that of the normal control which was(7.79±3.58) ng/mmolCr(P<0.01).TGF-β1 was direct remarkably correlative with microablumin(r=0.5415),microglobulin α1(r=0.6282) and microglobulin β2(r=0.3248)(P<0.01 respectively),but was nothing with glycohemoglobin(r=0.2304,P>0.05).ConclusionTGF-β1 detection may be used as a sensitive and reliable guideline to diagnose early diabetic nephropathy in old diabetics.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of tulobuterol patch in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD) in the elderly. Methods Totally 165 elderly patients with moderate to severe AECOPD were divided into trial group and control group randomly.83 patients of trial group were treated with tulobuterol patch,2 mg once a day,and fluticasone inhalation 250 μg twice a day; 82 patients of control group were treated with inhalation of salmeterol/fluticasone 250 μg/50 μg twice a day.Basic therapy was the same in two groups. Results After 10-14 days' treatment,forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1),peak expiratory flow (PEF),6-min walking distance and symptom scores were ( 1.30 ± 0.31 ) L,(245.3 ± 56.1 ) L/min,(263.0±53.2)m,(33.2±12.1)scores in trial group,and (1.21±0.23)L,(213.9±58.4) L/min,(230.0±45.6)m,(37.8± 14.5) scores in control group,respectively.The lung function,6 minute walk distancc and symptom score were improved (t=2.120,3.521,4.279,2.212,all P＜0.05).The frequencies of rescue medication,waking-up suffocating at night and the days of hospital stay were deceased significantly in trial group as compared with control group[(2.5 ± 0.6) time/d,( 1.8 ± 0.5)time/week,(12.9±1.6)dvs.(2.90.8) time/d,(2.2±0.7) time/week,(14.1±1.8) d,t=3.610,4.219,4.524,all P＜0.05].The incidence of adverse reactions was not significant difference between two groups[8 cases(9.6％)vs.7 cases(8.5％),P＞0.05] and the adverse reactions were mild.Conclusions Tulobuterol patch is a newly formulated,effective and safe medication for the treatment of acute exacerbation of AECOPD.

Objective:To observe the effect of stereotactic aspiration combined with corresponding drug therapy in the treatment of cerebral hemorrhage induced by different drugs. Methods:Totally 66 patients with hemorrhage induced by antithrombotic drugs were randomly divided into the control group and the treatment group with 33 cases in each. The control group was given corresponding drug therapy according to the pathogenesis of cerebral hemorrhage, and the treatment group was treated by stereotactic hematoma aspiration additionally. Daily life ability, NIHSS and prognosis improvement were compared between the two groups before and after the treat-ment. Results:After the treatment, NIHSS of the treatment group was ( 10. 17 ± 2. 97 ) and Barthel index score was ( 59. 97 ± 12. 10), which were both better than those of the control group (P<0. 05). The prognosis of the treatment group was also better than that of the control group (P<0. 05). There was no severe adverse drug reaction in the two groups. Conclusion:For different drug in-duced cerebral hemorrhage, corresponding drug therapy should be carried out, and combining with stereotactic hematoma aspiration, the therapeutic regimen can effectively improve neurological deficits and activities of daily living of the patients, and then improve the prognosis of the patients with promising safety.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopy in combination with fast track colorectal surgery (FTCS) in the treatment of colorectal cancer in the elderly.Methods A total of 123 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:the laparoscopy plus FTCS group (n=41),the laparoscopy group (n=41) and the laparotomy group (n=41).Parameters for measuring surgical quality,recovery and postoperative complications were analysed.Results No significant differences were found in age,gender,tumor location,anesthesia ASA classification,American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Tumor Node Metastasis (TNM) staging,Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score or complications between the three groups (P＞0.05 for all).There were no differences in blood loss,operative time,time required to resume defecation or number of lymph nodes dissected between the laparoscopy plus FTCS group and the laparoscopy or laparotomy group (P＞0.05 for all),but time taken to initiate postoperative ambulation,time taken to resume flatulence,time taken to start intake of liquid food and length of hospital stay were shorter in the laparoscopy plus FTCS group than in the other groups (P ＜ 0.05 for all).The incidence of postoperative complications was 12.2％ or 5/41 in the laparoscopy plus FTCS group,which was lower than in the laparoscopy group (34.1％ or 14/41) and in the laparotomy group (68.3％ or 28/41) (x2 =5.549 and 28.826,P=0.018 and 0.01,respectively),a statistically significant difference was also found between the latter two groups (x2 =9.567,P =0.002).Conclusions Laparoscopy in combination with FTCS is safe and effective in the treatment of colorectal cancer in the elderly.

Objective:To study the risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on pregnant women who had two consecutive deliveries and were was complicated by GDM in the previous pregnancy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2011 to May 2019. Clinical data of both pregnancies were collected, including general information, fasting blood glucose in early pregnancy and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and blood lipid profile at 24-28 gestational weeks. The incidence and risk factors of abnormal glucose metabolism in these cases during the present pregnancy were analyzed. Analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test, SNK- q or LSD- t-test, and Chi-square test were used for data analysis. Single-factor logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the high-risk factors, and multifactor logistic regression analysis was performed to fit the model. Variable collinearity diagnosis was performed using the coldiag2 command. Results:(1) A total of 455 cases were enrolled in the study. According to the fasting glucose level in the first trimester and the OGTT results in the present pregnancy, they were divided into three groups: normal OGTT group ( n=240), GDM group ( n=189), and pre-gestational diabetes mellitus group (PGDM, n=26). The incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism in these patients during the present pregnancy was 47.2% (215/455). (2) Those with a history of GDM had higher pre-pregnancy weight, lower weight gain, higher cesarean section rate, smaller gestational age at delivery, and higher neonatal birth weight in the present pregnancy than those in the previous pregnancy [(55.6±8.5) vs (53.3±7.9) kg, t=-4.059; (11.2±4.2) vs (12.5±4.4) kg, t=4.435; 47.9% (218/455) vs 33.0% (150/455), χ2=20.481; (38.6±1.3) vs (38.8±1.3) weeks, t=2.288; (3 177±463) and (3 114±460) g, t=-2.044; all P<0.05]. (3) In the PGDM group, the 2-h plasma glucose level after 75 g OGTT was higher than that in the previous pregnancy [(11.4±1.1) vs (9.9±1.7) mmol/L, t=-3.299, P=0.002]. (4) In the present pregnancy, the PGDM group had the highest fasting blood glucose in early pregnancy, followed by the GDM group and the normal OGTT group [4.6 mmol/L (4.2-7.6 mmol/L), 4.3 mmol/L (4.0-4.6 mmol/L) and 4.1 mmol/L (3.8-4.4 mmol/L), χ2=34.498, P<0.001]. The PGDM group had the least postpartum weight retention, followed by the normal OGTT group and the GDM group [(1.2±3.9), (1.6±3.9), and (2.6±4.9) kg, F=3.086, P<0.05]. (5) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed postpartum weight retention and the 1-h and 2-h plasma glucose levels after 75 g OGTT in the previous pregnancy were independent risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism in pregnant women with a history of GDM (postpartum weight retention: OR=1.054, 95% CI: 1.005-1.106; 1-h plasma glucose: OR=1.284, 95% CI: 1.087-1.516; 2-h plasma glucose: OR=1.272, 95% CI: 1.071-1.511). Conclusions:The incidence of abnormal glucose metabolism is higher in subsequent pregnancy in women with GDM history, which may be related to various factors, such as postpartum weight retention and plasma glucose after 75 g OGTT in the previous pregnancy.

BACKGROUND: Enophthalmos deformity is the most common complication caused by orbital blow-out fractures, and others are diplopia and worsening of visual acuity. Since the therapeutic result of orbital blow-out is not satisfactory and many complications exist after operation, it is still a dispute to select implantation materials and therapeutic regimens.OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect and assess the improvement of visual function by surgical reconstruction with porous high-density polyethylene (Medpor) for the correction of enophthalmos deformity caused by orbital blow-out fractures.DESIGN: A pre-and postoperative controlled study.SETTING: Beauty Center for Trauma Repair,Plastic Surgery Hospital,Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Science .PARTICIPANTS: Totally 56 patients with orbital blow-out fractures who had enophthalmos deformity caused by fists or traffic accidents, treated at Beauty Center for Trauma Repair,Plastic Surgery Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Science, were selected in this study from December 1996 to March 2004. Final diagnosis were made with case history, X-ray film, two-demensional and three-dimensional CT before operation. 24 cases were accompanied with other areas fractures such as zygoma and nasal bone, 34 cases with diplopia, 35 cases with visual acuity worsening after injured.METHODS: ①Material implantation: Exposure of the orbital floor, inferior and medial walls could be performed through a 2 mm inferior subciliary incision of 3 cm long. To approach the orbital rim via a dissection plane anterior to the orbital septum, sub-periosteal dissection was then performed over the orbital rim, and along the orbital floor to the orbital apex. Mobilized the soft tissue from the bone throughout the entire area of fractures and re-position it to its proper position. Took Medpor (Type 6331) sheets as the implantation materials, trimmed Medpor sheets according to the radian and anatomic form, and 2 mm larger than the defect rim was needed.If other operations were needed during the operation, they could be done.Mannitol and dexamethasone should be used just postoperatively to decrease edema of the orbital contents and reduce inner orbital excessive pressure. ②Functional evaluation standard: Diplopia: completely disappear meant recovered, less diplopia residual meant improvement, no improvement meant inefficacy. Enophthalmos: marked improvement meant the degree of enophthalmos stabilizated at below 2 mm, less improvement meant stabilizated at above 2 mm.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Improvement of enophthalmos; ②Improvement of diplopia ; ③Improvement of visual acuity.RESULTS: ①All 56 cases of enophthalmos deformities caused by orbital blow-out fractures improved greatly. ② Of all the 34 patients with diplopia, 27 recovered. ③ 9 patients' visual acuity of 35 improved with different degrees. No diplopia or visual acuity worsening occurred. With a follow-up ranging from 2 months to 5 years, the degree of enophthalmos stabilizated at below 2 mm, and no relapse and other complications occurred.CONCLUTION: Medpor has such advantages as better histocompatibility,fewer complications and better visual function improvement, so it is the preferred implantation material for correcting enophthalmos deformity caused by orbital blow-out fractures.
