Sixty patients with malignant stenosis, esophagus and anastomotic stoma fistula were selected from Jiangsu General Hospital of Armed Police Forces between January 1995 and June 2008, including 46 males and 14 females, aged 36-77 years. Following pathologic diagnosis, 50 patients had squamous cell carcinoma, 8 had adenocarcinoma, and 2 had adeno-squamous carcinoma. Of 60 patients, 33 had esophageal carcinoma stenosis and esophagus-gastric cardia carcinoma stenosis, 20 had esophageal carcinoma stenosis combined with fistula, 7 had esophageal-stomach anastomosis combined with thoracic cavity fistula; in addition, there were 22 cases of first onset of fistula and 5 of multiple fistula. All patients were treated by esophagus memory Ni-Ti alloy coated stent implantation. Of 58 patients with successful implantation, 21 developed stent blockage due to dysphagia, and were alleviated after foreign body removal; 3 developed stent dislocation (removal and re-implanted); 7 developed restenosis due to tumor tissue ingrowth 3 months after implantation. Of 5 patients with multiple fistula, 3 were re-implanted to form invagination of 2 stents, which succeeded in blocking the fistula. Of 33 patients with esophageal carcinoma stenosis and esophagus-gastric cardia carcinoma stenosis, 26 underwent radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy (mean survival time: 24 months). Twenty patients with esophageal carcinoma stenosis combined with fistula survived for 6 months averagely. Seven patients with esophageal-stomach anastomosis combined with thoracic cavity fistula survived for 3 months averagely. Of 60 patients, 42 felt retrosternal pain, and 2 patients’ stents were extracted due to severe pain; 20 patients developed esophageal reflux. No bleeding, perforation or septicemia occurred. The results indicate that memory Ni-Ti alloy stent is effective in treating malignant stenosis, esophagus and anastomotic stoma fistula, showing good biocompatibility.

It is a popular practice for Chinas academia to regard SCI(Science Citation Index)and its IF(Impact Factor)as fundamental indexes for research competency evaluatiop.This article however holds that SCI and IF are but quantitative measurements for evaluating periodicals,and whether it is scientific to evaluate research results with such indexes as they are remains to be jusfified.It also suggests that practitioners in research organizations fully comprehend the meaning of SCI and IF,and use them correctly,so as to guide researchers to contribute their works to proper publishers.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the short-term efficacy and toxicity reaction of 2 regimens of taxotere combined with epi-rubicin in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy of breast cancer. METHODS:78 patients with locally advanced breast cancer were random-ly divided into TEC group(45 cases)and TE group(33 cases). TEC group was treated with taxotere 75 mg/m2 by intravenous in-jection,d1+epirubicin 60 mg/m2 by intravenous injection,d1+cyclophosphamide 500 mg/m2 by intravenous injection d1. TE group was treated with taxotere 75 mg/m2 by intravenous injection,d1+epirubicin 60 mg/m2 by intravenous injection,d1. 21 days were a treatment course for 2 groups,and there were totally 4-6 courses. In the 2 groups,efficacy and toxicity reaction were evaluated af-ter 4 weeks at least,and survival rate of 6 months was followed-up. RESULTS:The differences were not statistically significant in the short-term efficacy and toxicity reaction and survival rate between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:TEC and TC have similar short-term efficacy and safety in the treatment of locally advanced breast cancer. Both of them can be used as adjuvant medi-cines for neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Psychological disorder has a high morbidity rate among patients with cardiovascular disease. Patients with cardiovascular disease associated with depression, especially post myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndromes associated with psychological disorder, have not only a poor prognosis, but also a high mortality . Therefore, comprehensive and perfect intervention is extremely important for patients with cardiovascular disease associated with psychological disorder. The intervention for such kind patients needs an integrated disease management. It needs to consolidate the treatment of body's disease to strengthen second-level prevention of heart disease, and pay attention to the intervention for psychological disorder as well.This paper aims to provide reference for reducing the negative effects of psychological illness in patients with cardiovascular disease during clinical treatment process, and make prospects about the significance of double heart medical model, through summarizing the interaction effects of psychological factors on patients with coronary heart disease, the significance ofdouble heartnursing mode and the specific nursing measures.

Clinical teaching constitutes a critical content of clinical course system.To that aim,we formulate typical case archive for teaching and apply bed-side teaching combined with PBL(problem based learning) method.Still supported by personating,case investigation and casuistics as well as multimedia means,we teach students in accordance with their aptitude and in so doing,initiatives of students can be mobilized to ensure sound teaching effects.

Aortic dissection is a kind of fatal cardiovascular disease, and the apoptosis of aortic vascular smooth muscle plays an important role in aortic dissection.The new discovered Hippo-YAP signal transduction pathway is significant in regulation of the function of vascular smooth muscle, and it can cause many cardiovascular diseases.This paper aims to review the present studies of the mechanism of the apoptosis of aortic vascular smooth muscle and Hippo-YAP signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, especially the aortic dissection.

Objective To testify the limitation of Sanxiao differentiation and to prove the objectivity and practicability of three-typed syndrome differentiation by mining data of common diabetic symptoms and symptomatic flocks from the gathered cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The diagnotherapeutic data of 533 cases of type 2 diabetes were collected applying structurally clinical informational gathering system. Then the symptoms, symptomatic flocks and correlated symptoms of typical Sanxiao symptoms were analyzed. Result Among those symptoms, weakness was the tiptop of 473 cases, accounting for 88.74%. 303 cases with thirst and pleased drink, among which 32.23% had both polyuria together with polyphagia and hungary. 106 cases had polyuria (19.89%), 26.46% of which were thirst and pleased drink accompanied with polyphagia and hungary. 77 cases were polyphagia and hungary (14.45%), among which 35.37% had both polyuria together with thirst and pleased drink. 2.25% cases had Sanxiao symptoms at the same time. The frequency of deep and thready pulse was the most aommonly one, which accounted for 133 cases (24.95%). Tongue quality mainly appeared dull and red (218 cases, 40.9%). Among the symptomatic flocks, tongue quality weak and white often accompanied by thirst, please drink and weakness. Conclusions The theory of treatment based on syndrome differentiation of Sanxiao exists localization in the regarding the complexity of type 2 diabetes symptoms and symptomatic flocks. The three-typed syndrome differentiation possesses the objectivity and practicability.

Objective To discuss the cause, managment and prevention of the postoperative complications of orbital implantation by clinical case analysis, and to provide reference for the future clinical work. Methods 175 cases of orbital implantation from Aug. 2011 to Aug. 2013 were retrospectively analyzed in our department. The postoperative complications occurrence, related symptomatic treatment, and the reasons of complications were analyzed. Results Complications occurred in 175 cases of 9 cases(5. 14%),including 4 cases of the con-junctival cyst (2.29%),3 cases of orbital implants exposure(1.71%),1 case of orbital chronic infection(0.57%)and 1 case of subcon-junctival tissue atrophy(0. 57%). All of them had obtained good curative through cyst excision or orbital implanting again after the active treatment. There were no complication occurred again. Conclusion The postoperative complications should be positively analyzed, and early positive precaution could reduce most of the complications.
