Objective To analyze and discuss the effects of preserving the intercostobrachial nerve(ICBN)in modified radical mastectomy for breast cancer. Methods A total of 80 patients with breast cancer were randomly divided into the observation group and control group(n = 40 in each). The ICBN in the observation group were reserved and it was removed in the control group. Operation time,the number of lymph nodes,blood loss and complication rates were compared between groups. Two groups of patients were followed up for abnormal sensory function and relapse and metastasis. Results There were no differences in the operation time,the number of dissected lymph nodes and blood loss(P > 0. 05). There was no difference in complication rate(12. 50% vs 15. 00% )between the observation group and control group(P > 0. 05). There were significant differences in the incidence of abnormal sensory function at the first week(10. 00% vs 52. 50% ),the first month(5. 00% vs 47. 50% ),the third month(2. 50%vs 45. 50% ),the sixth month(2. 50% vs 37. 50% ),and the twelfth month(0. 00% vs 27. 50% )after op-eration between the observation group and control group(P < 0. 05). During the one-year follow-up peri-od,there was no relapse or metastasis. Conclusion Preserving ICBN in modified radical mastectomy can effectively reduce the incidence of abnormal sensory function of the upper limb.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of retaining axillary sheath in axillary lymph node dissection of breast cancer surgery. Methods Four hundred and two patients received modified radical mastectomy from January 2004 to January 2008 and followed up for 12 months were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into two groups (group A and B) according to whether retaining axillary sheath in operation. Compared the morbidities of axillary effusion and edema of upper limbs between two groups. Results The morbidity of axillary effusion after operation in group A (5.3%, 13/243 ) was lower than that in group B (10.7%,17/159)(P＜0.05). Based on the data followed up for 1,6, 12 months after operation, the morbidity of edema of upper limbs in group A were also lower than those in group B (P ＜0.01). Conclusion Retaining axillary sheath when there is no evidence of lymph node metastasis in axillary sheath, will prominently lower the morbidities of axillary effusion and edema of upper limbs,improve the life quality of patients.

Objective To explore the factors of treatment adherence for patients with hypertension.Methods Data were collected among 520 patients with essential hypertension from 2009 to 2010.It investigated the factors of treatment adherence for patients with hypertension by self-report scales.Results Structural equation model analysis showed age,self-rated health,self-eificacy,quality of life,family function and health concept were all directly associated with treatment adherence,and these variables explained 52.0％ of the total variance.Self-efficacy and quality of life were regarded as mediators in predicting treatment adherence of hypertensive patients,other variables indirectly affected adherence behavior by two mediators.Age and self-efficacy showed a strong independent predictive role to adherence.Conclusions Healthcare providers should take effective measures to improve treatment adherence for patients with hypertension based on patients characteristic once they make reasons for adherence clear,which can enhance quality of life,control blood pressure and prevent complications.

Objective To investigate the gross tumor volume (GTV) changes in nonoperatively treated lung cancer patients during radiotherapy by off-line analysis using kilovoltage cone-beam computed tomography (KVCBCT).Methods Eighteen nonoperatively treated lung cancer patients were divided into group A (n =13) to receive conventional radiotherapy (1.8-2.2 Gy/fraction) and group B (n =5) to receive accelerated radiotherapy (5-8 Gy/fraction).Group A was further divided into subgroup A1 (n =10) and subgroup A2 (n =3) according to GTV changes.Each patient in group A underwent KVCBCT scan before treatment once a week,and each patient in group B underwent KVCBCT scan before each treatment.KVCBCT and CT images were registered in the treatment planning system to analyze GTV changes.Results Of all patients in group A,77％ showed ＞ 20％ GTV reduction.Subgroup A1 had the maximum GTV reduction in the 4th week of treatment (the 20th treatment) ;Subgroup A1 had a mean reduction of (0.94 ± 9.94)％,with a maximum value of-56.76％.Subgroup A2 showed no correlation between GTV changes and treatment time.Group B had a mean GTV reduction of (-7.41 ± 1.76)％,with a maximum value of -15.91％.Of all patients in group B,71％ showed ≤ 10％ GTV reduction.Small GTV changes were observed in group B.Conclusions There are no regular GTV changes in nonoperatively treated lung cancer patients during radiotherapy.Adaptive radiotherapy is recommended in the cases where GTV is reduced over 20％ in the 20th treatment.

BACKGROUND:There is controversy on the treatment of old femoral neck fracture with hemiarthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect of cementless hemiarthroplasty in the treatment of old femoral neck fracture, and to compare with total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 23 old femoral neck fracture patients treated by artificial joint replacement from January 2009 to June 2010. Among the 23 patients, 11 cases were treated with cementless hemiarthroplasty, and 12 cases were treated with total hip arthroplasty. The time for off-bed activity, Harris score and the incidence of perioperative complications were compared between cementless total hip arthroplasty and hemiarthroplasty.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up for 12-18 months. The active straight leg raising angle, time for off-bed activity, incidence of early postoperative complications and Harris score at 1 week after treatment of the cementless hemiarthroplasty group were better than those of the total hip arthroplasty group;there were no significant differences in Harris score at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months between two groups;the incidence of forward hip pain of the cementless hemiarthroplasty group was higher than that of the total hip arthroplasty group. So, we general y think that cementless hemiarthroplasty has better short-term effect in the treatment of old femoral neck fracture, but the long-term integrated efficacy needs to be further identified.

Objective To investigate the expression of human papillomavirus (HPV) L1 protein in lesional tissue of condyloma acuminatum and its clinical significance.Methods Forty-three patients with condyloma acuminatum were included in this study,and received CO2 laser therapy.Tissue samples were resected from the lesions of these patients at their first visit before treatment.Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of HPV L1 protein in these samples.Follow up was carried out once every 2 weeks for 3 months to assess the recurrence rate and frequency in these patients after treatment.Results HPV L1 protein was detected in 83.72％ (36/43) of these tissue samples.The expression rate of HPV L1 protein decreased sequentially from patients infected with HPV 6/11,patients with both HPV 6/11 and 16/18,to those with HPV16/18 (x2 =17.90,P ＜ 0.01).During the 12 weeks of follow up,the recurrence rate was 69.77％ (30/43) with the average number of recurrence of 2.16.There was a sequential reduction in the recurrence rate and number from patients with strong expression of HPV L1 protein,to those with moderate expression,slight expression and negative expression (x2 =8.02,46.92,P ＜ 0.05 and 0.01,respectively).The expression intensity of HPV L1 protein was negatively correlated with the recurrence rate and frequency (rs =-0.429,-0.696,respectively,both P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion HPV L1 protein may serve as a helpful molecular biomarker for the prediction of prognosis and recurrence of condyloma acuminatum.
