Carcinosarcoma(CS)of the uterus is a rare class of malignant female pelvic neoplasms.The primary modality of therapy for uterine CS is surgery.Postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy may only improve loco-regional control.Standard adiuvant treatment of uterine CS has shifted from primarily loco-regional radiotherapy to chemotherapy.Potentially more effective adjuvant chemotherapy regimens will be investigated.Chemotherapy can extend life for patients with advanced,persistent,or recurrent uterine CS.However,effect of chemotherapy remains to be further enhanced.

Trypsin was purified from crude material of pig pancreas by AOT/isooctane reversed micellar system.The influence of the main operating parameters such as ethanol concentration in forward and backward extraction,pH,KCl and AOT concentration,temperature were investigated.Forward and backward extraction recovery of trypsin reached almost 90% and neared 100%,respectively.Finally,about 88% of total yield was obtained,and the specific activity of trypsin was increased to over 1800U/mg with purification factor of 5 folds more.In AOT-isooctane reverse micellar extraction system,denaturation or precipitation of proteins always occured due to strong electrostatic interaction between AOT-proteins molecules.It had been resolved by adding ethanol into reverse micellar system,and no denaturation was observed.Otherwise,the phase separation time was shortened significantly because of ethanol added.It was only 10 minutes or less to reach phases separation after forward and backward extraction.If this method can be applied in industry,efficiency will be greatly improved.

Objective To investigate the leukocyte infiltration inside the hematoma and the correlation between this and the expression of platelet P-selectin (CD62p) and platelet thrombin-sensitive protein (TSP) of patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Methods In 33 patients with cerebral hemorrhage treated with minimally invasive surgery, the expressions of platelet CD62p and TSP were detected by flow cytometry (FCM) and leukocyte counts were measured in intracerebral hematoma fluid and venous blood. The correlation analysis was performed between the two variables.Results The expressions of platelet CD62p and TSP in hematoma fluid were higher in patients with acute cerebral hemorrhage (20.25?1.82, 37.04?3.63) than those in venous blood (7.72?2.19, 12.32?2.81)(all P

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic techniques for corrections of facial contour deformities.MethodsA total of 58 patients(48 women and 10 men)with square face(38),prominent zygoma(12),or crooked noses(8)were treated by endoscopic-assisted technique in our hospital.Results The operation time ranged from 40 to 86 min(mean,65 min),and intraoperative blood loss was 60-120 ml(mean,78 ml).The patients were discharged from the hospital in 3 to 7 days(mean 4)after the surgery,and was followed up for 3 to 24 months.During the period,no one had unexpected fracture,injuries to the mental and facial nerves and vessels,or infection.All the patients were satisfied with the surgical outcomes.ConclusionsEndoscopic-assisted correction of facial contour deformities is feasible,safe,and effective.

Objective To search for a procedure for correction of square face. Methods 68 patients with square face (aged from 21～40 years, with 65 females and 3 males) underwent osteetomy combined mandibular angle triangle resection with lateral cortex around the mandibular angle-splitting by intraoral approach. The mandible outer cortex was splited with bone chisel and mandible angle was resected by the high-speed pneumatic drill. The bulky masseter muscle and the enbonpoint buecal fat-pad were scissored. Results The application of high-speed pneumatic drill and bone chisel facilitated resection of the mandibular angle with lateral cortex splitting osteetomy. The operative effects were satisfactory in 56 patients during 3-24 months of follow-up. The bigonial distance was effectively re-duced, and facial shape became ellipse. The gross asymmetry and mandibular fracture were not conse-quences. The lateral contour of the mandibular angle was natural. Conclusion Ostectomy of mandible angle and lateral cortex of the mandible allows the reduction of the mandibular contour of the frontal view and the lateral contour of mandibular angle becomes soft, giving a more natural appearance. This new method is worthy to be applied widely because of the good result with effective reduction of the mandibular width.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound-guided nasotracheal intubation in the patients undergoing oral maxillofacial surgery by comparing with blind intubation.Methods Forty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 18-75 yr,weighing 45-90 kg,scheduled for elective oral maxillofacial surgery,were randomly divided into blind intubation group (group B,n =20) and ultrasound group (group U,n =20) according to a random number table.Nasotracheal intubation was performed after routine topical analgesia and conscious sedation.The front end of catheter was adjusted to the aditus glottidis according to the sound of respiratory air,and tracheal intubation was placed when the strongest inspiratory phase appeared in group B.A linear array probe (frequency 7-15 MHz) was used,and the images of glottis expansion and wired catheter insertion were visualized in the thyroid cartilage window in U group.Before intubation and at 0,1,3 and 5 min after successful intubation,mean arterial pressure (MAP),HR and SpO2 were recorded.The development of responses to intubation was recorded during intubation.The successful intubation at first attempt,the number of intubation,intubation time,and postoperative complications such as sore throat or hoarseness were recorded.Results Compared with group B,the number of intubation was significantly reduced,intubation time was shortened,the rate of successful intubation at first attempt was increased,the failure rate of intubation and incidence of sore throat and hoarseness were decreased,and no significant changes were found in the parameters of hemodynamics and incidence of responses to intubation in group U.No intraoperative awareness of intubation occurred in patients.Conclusion Compared with blind intubation,ultrasound-guided nasotracheal intubation can raise the probability of successful intubation at first attempt,reduce the number of intubation,and shorten intubation time,and it is safe and convenient and provides significant value clinically for the patients undergoing oral maxillofacial surgery.

To explore th e role of nitric oxide(NO), nitric oxide synthetase (NOS)and prolactin (PRL) in the pathogenesis,progress and prognosis of neonatal hypoxic-ischemia encephalop athy (HIE),plasma NO, NOS and serum PRL were determined by radioimmunoassay(RIA) and colorimetry in 68 newbom infants with HIE and 30 normal control neonates, r espectively. The results showed that the levels of NO, NOS and PRL were signific antly higher in all neonates with HIE than that in the control group (P＜0.05).There were in particular more higher levels of NO,NOS an d PRL in infants with either moderate or severe HIE(P＜0 .01). It was noticed that the level of PRL was much higher in HIE infants with seizures than that in HIE infants without seizures. There was a positive relati onship between the levels of PRL and the duration of seizure attack( P＜0.01). It is suggested that the levels of NO, NOS and PRL is ass ociated with HIE.The determination of these parameters will be valuable clinical ly for the diagnosis, judgement of prognosis and estimation of seizure attack in newborn infants with HIE.

Through the discussion on TCM physiological characters of females in follicular, ovulatory, luteal and menstrual phases and treatment principles, the clinical application of artificial cycle therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion was introduced for irregular menstruation and the typical cases were attached. It is suggested that the menstrual cycle follows the growth-consumption rule of yin, yang, qi and blood. The corresponding treatment principles should be applied in accordance with the change rule of menstrual cycle. Hence, it is worth to adopt the artificial cycle therapy of acupuncture and moxibustion for irregular menstruation in clinical application.
