Objective To observe the curative effect and adverse reactions of IMRT and conventional radiotherapy combined with chem-otherapy in treating patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Methods The patients were divided into the IMRT group (46 cases) and conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy group ( 50 cases ) . Making the IMRT and conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy treatment plan, and analyze the curative effect and adverse reaction of the two groups. Results Compared with the con-ventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy group, IMRT group has a significantly increase in complete remission rate and overall re-sponse rate, but there is no significant difference in long-term efficacy. The skin, dry mouth ( parotid) ,and oral mucositis response is lower in IMRT group, and the neutropenia incidence, prevalence of anemia, liver and kidney function damage rate is also significantly lower than conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. Conclusion The IMRT can significantly improve the curative effect in treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma and reduce the adverse reactions compared with the conventional radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the value of bile duct drainage using ureter catheter through cystic duct remnant with primary closure of the common bile duct(CBD) incision after CBD exploration.Methods (Retrospective) analysis of the clinical data of 218 cases using this method. Results All cases were operated on successfully.There were no complications such as bile leakage,bile duct stricture in this series.The (catheter) were removed 5-7 days after operation in 215 cases,10 days after operation in 3.None of the 218 cases had complications after removal of the catheter.The rate of stone clearance was 99.7%(217/218).Average hospitalization time after operation was(6.5?3.0)days.All the 218 cases were followed up for 1-5 years.On ultrosounography no bile duct stricture was found in the followed up cases.Conclusions (Using) ureteral catheter through cystic duct remnant for drainage of bile duct after CBD exploration with primary closure of the CBD is an effctive,reliable and safe method in preventing postoperative bile leakage,bile duct stricture and diagnosis of the postoperative retention of bile duct stones.
