Objective Queuing theory is the mathematical study of how waiting lines or queues are formed and dissipated o -ver time, which aims to work out the optimal design and optimal control of queuing systems based on the research of probability and regularity of various queuing systems .The aim of paper was to find out the maximum acceptable waiting time for outpatients in stomatol -ogy department and explore the rational allocation of dentists based on queuing theory model . Methods Questionnaires , worktime measurement and queuing theory model were applied to calculate indicators of queuing system in outpatient services of Stomatology De -partment , getting the maximum waiting time accpetable for patients and the reasonable number of dentists . Results The maximum acceptable waiting time for outpatients was 34.02 ±7.07 minutes, and it was reasonable to allocate 25 doctors in the morning and 16 doctors in the afternoon . Conclusion Applying queuing theory helps to optimize dentist number in outpatient services of Stomatology Department and provide scientific reference to improve medical efficiency .

Objective　To study the indication, contraindication and short-term clinical effects of stereotactic radiotherapy (X-knife) in lung cancer. Methods　A total of 56 cases (Treatment group) of lung cancer were treated with X-knife composing of the modern 3-D treatment planning system and the stereotactic body frame, and SL-75 accelerator. And another 53 cases only treated with routine external radiation served as the control. In treatment group, 42 cases received 50 Gy radiation, at 2 Gy per day, 5 d per week in the upper mediastinum, hilus of lung, below the primary focus first and then underwent X-knife for the primary focuses, and other 14 recurrent and metastatic cases received irradiation of 8-12 Gy per day, 5 d by X-knife alone. Results　The actually reexamination rate for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after X-knife treatment in 78 focuses from 56 cases was 79.5% (62/78), 89.8% (70/78), 87.2% (68/78) and 78.2% (61/78) respectively. The focuses reappeared in 3 months after the treatment and the growth rates of focus in 3, 6, and 12 month after the treatment were 2.6% (2/78), 5.1% and 9% (7/78) respectively. There were 2 focuses received a second treatment with X-knife because no change after the first one. Both the 1-and 2-year survival rates of 36 cases of the primary lung cancer in the treatment group were higher than that of control group (89.1%, 53.9% and 77.4%, 39.6%). Conclusion　The stereotactic radiotherapy is of applicable and prospective in the treatment of lung cancer. The indications include: ①As a boost dose in case when primary focus is less than 5 cm after the first external radiotherapy may reduce the exposure of lung tissue to x-ray and the occurrence of radiation pneumonia; ②Treatment for the recurrence after radiotherapy and operation; ③Radical treatment for the metastatic focus less than 5 cm. Attention must be paid to when multiple treatment is carried on the volume of the focus, the Karnofsky scores and the general condition when stereotactic radiotherapy combined with X-knife for lung cancer.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics,relationship between treatment and prognosis of sarcoidosis and relationship of relapse to prednisone.Methods The clinical data of 165 patients with sarcoidosis were collected.The clinical characteristics,treatment process and prognosis,relationship of relapse with prednisone maintenance dose and course of treatment were retrospective analyzed.Results Among them,the most common involved systems were lung and lymph nodes.The involvement rates of lung,extra-thorax lymph nodes,cutaneous,ocular,salivary glands,liver & spleen,kidney and nervous system was 87.3％,51.5％,6.7％,6.1％,6.1％,4.2％,1.2％ and 1.2％ respectively.Unilateral tonsil,breast,ovary and bone involvement was seen in only 1 patient respectively with an involvement rate of 0.6％.A retrospective analysis was made for 114 cases with complete follow-up data.The mean follow-up period was (11.7 ± 5.7) (5-32) years.And 46 cases had no symptom on routine medical examinations.The most common consulted departments were respiratory,dermatological and general surgery departments.Among 74 patients on prednisone,48 patients (64.9％) were cured while 13 patients (17.6％) relapsed.Whereas in the observation group,25/38 patients (65.8％) remitted spontaneously and only 1 patient (2.6％) had recurrence.Relapse occurred more often in prednisone therapy group than in observation group (P ＜ 0.05).Longer prednisone 10-15 mg daily maintenance and a longer total course of treatment were associated with fewer recurrence(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis vary and many patients have a self-limiting course.The most common involved systems are lung and lymph nodes.Stage Ⅰ / Ⅱ disease should be observed before prednisone therapy.Prednisone 10-15 mg daily for at least 6 months and a total course of treatment over 18 months may prevent relapse.

Objective To explore the correlation between the epicaridal adipose tissue (EAT)volume and the SNYTAX score in patients with coronary artery diseases and to evaluate its clinical value.Methods Epicardial fat volume of 102 patients with coronary heart disease in our hospital were measured on dual-source CT angiography images,SNYTAX scores were calculated,and level of blood lipids,blood glucose (Glu),blood pressure,renal functional parameters and body mass index(BMI)were collected.Depending on SNYTAX scores,patients were divided into three groups (mild 0-22,moderate 23-32 and severe>33).The difference of EAT volume between groups and correlation with other indicators were analyzed.With indictors statistical significant in one-factor analysis,multi-ple regression equation was constructed to evaluate the risk factors of coronary artery diseases,particularly correlation between EAT volume and SNYTAX score.Results EAT,TC,TG,HDL,HbALc,GLu and BMI were significant different between three groups. Pearson regression showed that EAT,TC,GLu and BMI were independently risk factor in relation to the value of SNYTAX.Among them,standardized regressive coefficient of the EAT volume was the highest (β=0.52).Conclusion EAT volume is significantly positively correlated with the SNYTAX score in coronary heart disease,which can be as an effective predictor for its severity and prognosis.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of different doses of oxaliplatin on the efficacy and safety and related index-es of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE). METHODS:100 HCC patients were randomly divided into control group (50 cases) and observation group (50 cases). After TACE,control group re-ceived arterial infusion chemotherapy of 40 mg/m2 oxaliplatin,once a day+20 mg Epirubicin hydrochloride for injection,once a day,with little lipiodol. Observation group received arterial infusion chemotherapy of 80 mg/m2 oxaliplatin (the same usage with control group)+Epirubicin hydrochloride for injection(the same dosage with control group),with little lipiodol. Alanine aminotrans-ferase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBIL),white blood cell count (WBC) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) in 2 groups after 3 d treatment were observed,and the total overall survival (OS) and the incidence of adverse reactions were followed-up. RESULTS:Abdominal pain,incidences of nausea and vomiting,ALT,AST and TBIL in observation group were significantly higher than control group,WBC was significantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically sig-nificant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in fever,hair loss,incidence of peripheral neurotoxicity,OS in 1 year and 3 years,and AFP in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compared with 40 mg/m2 oxaliplatin,80 mg/m2 can reduce the in-cidence of abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting,but other effects are poor than 40 mg/m2,and it can not prolong the survival time of patients.
