Purpose:To investigate the clinical applicati on and curative effect of salvage treatment for primary recurrence after definitiv e radiotherapy in patients with laryngeal cancer. Methods:52 patients with laryngeal cancer receiving definitive radiotherapy in the Cancer Center of Sun Yat-sen University between 1990 and 19 95 were reviewed retrospectively. Among them, 17 patients presented with primary recurrence. Salvage treatment after radiotherapy failure included palliative ch emotherapy (5 cases) and surgical salvage (12 cases). 6 patients were salvaged b y partial laryngectomy and 6 patients by total laryngectomy. SPSS 10.0 software was used to analyze the effects, complications and the differences between diffe rent salvage treatments. Results:The overall 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rates a fter salvage treatment for primary recurrence in patients with laryngeal cancer receiving definitive radiotherapy were 56.3% and 37.5% respectively. The patient s receiving palliative chemotherapy after radiotherapy failure survived between 8 and 26 months. The 3- and 5-year cumulative survival rate in patients receiv ing surgical salvage were 75% and 50% respectively. There was significant differ ence between them analyzed by Kaplan-Meier (Log Rank=8.14, P=0.004 3). More over, the 5-year survival rates in patients salvaged by partial laryngectomy an d total laryngectomy were all 50% and there was no statistical difference betwee n them (Log Rank=0.08, P=0.7782). 5 out of 12 (41.7%) patients salvaged by s urgery presented complication after surgery, mainly infection after surgery (25 %) and pharyngocutaneous fistula (25%). Conclusions:Surgical salvage for primary recurrence in patients with laryngeal cancer receiving definitive radiotherapy could be effective.Part ial laryngectomy could be used for early primary lesion (T 1 and T 2) in patie nts with primary recurrence. The complications after salvage surgery were mainly were infection and pharyngocutaneous fistula.

Objective To assess the status of mental health of nursing students of secondary technical school and provide targeted guidance for mental health education. Methods 642 nursing students of secondary technical school were assessed using Mental Health Diagnostic Test Scale (MHT Scale). Results There were 0.78% of nursing students with serious psychological problems (scores≥65), 4.52% of nursing students with less serious psychological problems (scores < 65 and≥ 56). Students in different grades had significant difference in learning anxiety, allergic tendency, physical symptoms anxiety. Conclusions Nursing students of secondary technical school were in good mental health in general, but there were many students had learning anxiety, allergic tendencies and physical symptoms anxiety, which were different among various grades. Secondary nursing schools should further strengthen the mental health education, and seek close collaboration with parents,provide appropriate intervention measures to the nursing students with psychological barriers, in order to enhance the overall mental health of nursing students.

Objective To investigate the dose-response of micronuclei (MN) frequency in the lymphocytes irradiated with or without combination of α-particles and γ-rays. Methods Human lymphoblast cells HMy2.CIR were irradiated with 0 - 1 Gy of α-particles,0 - 5 Gy of γ-rays,and 0.025 -0.5 Gy of α-particles followed by different doses of γ-rays,respectively.The micronuclei (MN) in the irradiated cells were measured with the cytokinesis block technique,and the dose-responses of MN were established under different irradiation conditions.Results For γ-ray irradiation,the dose-response of MN was well-fit by the linear-quadratic model with an equation Y =c + αD + βD2.For α-particle irradiation,the MN induction increased linearly with the dose less than 0.250 Gy. But when the dose of α-particles increased continually,the dose-response curve bended and could be well fit with the BaD model Y =c + αD + σ[ 1 - exp( - δD) ] exp( - βD) where radiation-induced bystander effect (RIBE) was indicated.For the combined exposure,the dose-response of MN was similar to that of γ-irradiation when the dose of α-particles was lower than 0.1 Gy,but it was similar to that of α-irradiation when the dose of α-particles was higher.When the dose of α-particles was 0.2 and 0.5 Gy,MN induced by the mixed radiation were significantly higher than the sum of corresponding irradiation alone ( t =5.22 - 11.86,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions The radiation damage of α-particles differs from that of γ-rays,where RIBE may be involved.The combination irradiation of α-particles and γ-rays has a synergistic effect on radiation damage of lymphoblast cells.

Objective: To explore the IL\|5 values in the tissue and secretion of nasal polyp. Methods: The concentrations of IL\|5, either in tissue homogenate or in nasal secretion, were measured by ELISA. The values of total protein in tissue homogenate were measured by Bradford colorimetry. In this study, 31 cases with nasal polyp, 8 patients with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), 11 cases with chronic sinusitis (CS) and 6 control cases were chosen. Results: ① In tissue homogenate, the IL\|5 concentrations of nasal polyp were higher than that in CS or control group (P<0.001). ② In nasal secretion, IL\|5 values of both nasal polyp and PAR group were significantly higher than that in CS or control group (P<0.05). ③ When all cases or only patients with nasal polyp were taken as the subjects, the Pearson correlation coefficient were 0.70, 0.66 respectively. Conclusions: IL\|5 values, both in tissue homogenate and nasal secretion, are significantly higher, which suggested that there were a close relationship between IL\|5 and nasal polyp, and IL\|5 play a key role in the formation of nasal polyp.

The basic premise of syndrome essence discussion is the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome type. However, there still exists confusion regarding the standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation treatment, and the guidelines for TCM syndrome differentiation could not really be used for guiding clinical treatment. This is mainly due to the inappropriate use of research ideas and methods. The fundamental research of TCM syndrome based on the differentiation and classification of diseases is the main method for studying the standardization of TCM syndrome type. The accuracy quantification of symptoms is the powerful guarantee for authenticity and reliability of the results from standardization study of syndrome type. The correct choice for statistical methods gives powerful technical support to determine the differentiation threshold. The unified scales, expert discussions and complex scientific theories are the best methods for current research on standardization of syndrome type. The correlation study of syndrome type and physicochemical indexes cannot reflect the syndrome type completely. It is supposed to establish the treatment principles according to the main pathological changes of diseases on the basis of the standardization of TCM syndrome differentiation.
