Objective To evaluate the feasibility of CT staging for esophageal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 304 patients treated,from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 1998 chiefly with radiotherapy(126 conventional radiotherapy,55-65 Gy/27-35 fx/5.5-7.0 w;178 late-course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy ,55-60 Gy/33-36 fx/ 4.5 -5.5 w)complete with CT data before treatment was done. The long survival was compared with pre-therapy CT findings and CT staging. ResultsThe survival rate of stage T1+T2 was very significantly different from those lesion with stage T3,T4(? 2=12.90,P0.05).The survival rates of patients positive for lymph nodes or distant metastasis were lower. Conclusion CT staging is quite optimal for non-operable esophageal cancer in clinical staging,as it is conducive to predict the prognosis.

BACKGROUND:The region around the hip is a bone tumor predilection site. It is difficult to conduct tumor resection due to the involvement of weight loading area. Tumor resection requires high surgical technique. The pelvis and hip are often needed to be rebuilt.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of three reconstruction methods after tumor resection around the hip.
METHODS:From January 2007 to December 2012, 20 patients with bone tumors around the hip were treated by surgery in the Zhongshan Hospital, Wuhan University, including 7 benign tumors, 13 borderline and malignant tumors. Eight patients received al ograft. Eight patients received arthroplasty. Four patients received saddle prosthesis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 20 patients were fol owed up for 5 to 60 months (averagely 40 months). According to Enneking evaluation criterion, the operative outcome was evaluated as excellent in 8 cases, good in 5 cases, average in 4 cases, and poor in 3 cases. Excellent and good rate was 65%. Results suggested that after excision of bone tumors, al ograft, arthroplasty or saddle prosthesis can significantly elevate patient’s survival rate, improve patient’s living quality and is an effective therapy for treating tumors around the hip.

Objective To study syndrome and pathogenesis of patients of chronic hepatitis B treated by Lamivudine. Methods By Observing clinical information of Chinese medical symptoms, physical signs,tongue and pulse, TCM syndrome of 103 patients of Chronic Hepatitis B treated by Lamivudine were differentiated by two attending doctors and analyzed. Results Patten of 103 patients were: spleen deficiency and damp-heat (20.38%), spleen deficiency (20.38%), endoretention of damp-heat (19.41%), liver depression and spleen deficiency(13.59%), liver yin deficiency (8.73%); Syndrome of 103 patients were: spleen deficiency (47.57%), damp-heat (43.68%), liver depression (11.65%), liver yin deficiency (10.67%), blood stasis (8.73%), kidney yin deficiency (3.88%). Conclusion Pathogenesis of patients of chronic hepatitis B treated by Lamivudine was spleen-liver-kidney deficiency, and endoretention of damp-heat; Nature of disease was deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality, and simultaneous deficiency and excess; Common syndromes were spleen deficiency, damp-heat, liver depression, liver yin deficiency, blood stasis, and kidney yin deficiency.

Stem cell is one of the hot spot in the research area of biomedical engineering. Special attentions are drawn to the research and application of neural stem cells. Neural stem cells exist widely in central nervous system, which has the capacity of self-renewal and the potential to differentiate into other cells. The so-called engineered neural stem cell is constructed by using the technique of genetic engineering to make it be able to express various neural growth factors with high-performance and stability. The engineered neural stem cells have a great potential in the therapy of diseases of central nervous system, especially the spinal cord injury. This article reviews the research development of engineered neural stem cells, the problems confronted with it, and the trend for research in the future.

Emotion recognition will be prosperious in multifarious applications, like distance education, healthcare, and human-computer interactions, etc. Emotions can be recognized from the behavior signals such as speech, facial expressions, gestures or the physiological signals such as electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram. Contrast to other methods, the physiological signals based emotion recognition can achieve more objective and effective results because it is almost impossible to be disguised. This paper introduces recent advancements in emotion research using physiological signals, specified to its emotion model, elicitation stimuli, feature extraction and classification methods. Finally the paper also discusses some research challenges and future developments.

Objective To determine the influence of depression on C reactive protein in patients with chronic ischemic heart failure (CIHF).Methods 73 patients with CIHF were divided into CIHF without depression group(n=49) and CIHF with depression group (n=24) according to the standard sore of the self-rating depression scale.C reactive protein(CRP)and other clinical characteristics were detected.The geometric means of CRP between two groups were compared,and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis was used to confirm the independent correlation factors of CRP.Results (1) The geometric means of CRP in CIHF without depression group and CIHF with depression group were (1.38± 1.29)mg/L and (1.78±1.53) mg/L respectively.No statistically significant difference was found between two groups(P=0.276).(2) Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that aspirin inversely related with CRP(β=-1.070,P=0.004),but brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)positively related with CRP(β=0.426,P=0.001).Conclusion Depression has no additional effect on CRP in patients with CIHF.

Objective To evaluate the effect of hydrodistension on interstitial cystitis and the psychological changes after hydrodistension.Methods Thirty two patients with interstitial cystitis underwent hydrodistension from May 2011 to Jun 2012 in Department of Urology,Beijing Hospital.Interstitial cystitis symptom index(ICSI),Visual onalogue Scale (VAS) pain score,quality of life questionnaire(QOL) score,self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) score,self-rating depression scale(SDS) score were recorded and analyzed before and at 1-3 month after hydrodistension surgery.The voiding diary and postoperative complications were cared.Results Symptoms were improved in twenty nine patients,the efficiency rate was 90.6% (29/32).There were significant differences in ICSI score,VAS pain score,QOL score,SAS score,SDS score between pre and 3 month post-surgery [(26.7± 2.3) vs.(15.2±1.9),(4.6±2.5) vs.(1.8±1.1),(4.3±2.2) vs.(2.2±1.6),(53.8±3.7) vs.(40.8±2.3),(54.8±2.3) vs.(42.4±1.5),t=8.33,7.94,6.54,7.20,8.52,respectively,all P <0.05].No complication was found after surgery.Both the clinical symptoms and the anxiety and depression symptoms in patients were relieved,and QOL was improved.Conclusions For the patients with interstitial cystitis,the undergoing of hydrodistension surgery can relieve the anxiety and depression symptoms and improve quality of life.
